It won't hold sync with car after i get out, it's supposed to. And number two it's very weak. I use my Bluetooth head sets and put my phone in my pocket and it cuts out like crazy, i went back to cm11 i can walk 30 ft from my phone before it cuts out.

Sorry if this has been asked before... Is the play store in the current aio gapps multi DPI so I can change dpi in build prop wipe data and reboot?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Yup otherwise we would've tons of problems with our DPI.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
cant seem to get the settings to stick. I have been having alot of problems with Rom tool box lately. Would this work: unzip the rom edit build prop, rezip and reflash?

Edit: trying it anyway (whats the worst that can happen)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Yup that should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
certainly did! I do love the look of the slim DPI settings but it is just not user friendly with my fat thumbs. as long as I have been using slim... I just wish I would have thought of this sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jasonevil:
ROM works great....just miis the theme chooser
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidUzer:
Glad to be back on KitKat!

I'm really loving this ROM!

Thanks to all the devs involved in it's production!

Everything seems to be working great. The only strange behavior I have seen:

The screen displays some strange artifact lines when transitioning between portrait and landscape.

When transitioning into Landscape the lines are Vertical. When transitioning back to Portrait the lines are Horizontal.

The line only appear for a moment then they are gone.

Any ideas...?

TIA!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Sounds a bit like the driver problem we had at the beginning.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AndroidUzer:
Display artifacts...

Nebucatnetzer, can you enlighten me on the driver issue? Is there a fix?

I noticed my device does this on 3 different 4.4.2 releases but not on 4.3 stock?

Thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Not much you can do about it.

However I thought we had them fixed. At least it doesn't happen on my maguro.

The reason is why you don't see it on 4.3 is because Google dropped support for maguro with 4.4 and didn't release new binaries for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr08:
So I recently upgraded phones to the Sprint GNex and one of the first things I did was flash Slimkat. Right now the main major modifications done are CWM Touch + Slimkat + Latest Franco kernel + ART runtime enabled.

So far everything is peachy. Love it. I have run into one or two little quirks I am curious about if anyone knows anything about:

> With the ART runtime enabled I am getting the android upgrading screen on every boot. It initially says it is upgrading one application for a split second and then goes to starting apps. Mind you on the initial switch it went through about 140-something apps. Seems like there's one stuck somewhere that isn't sticking. Any way to check this out?

> The camera settings have an option to let me shoot in RAW rather than Jpeg. My wild guess is this is just in there from KitKat as it was a well covered addition before KK was officially released so with the GNex I am not expecting it to work. I'd love to be proven wrong but at this point with it enabled and taking a picture the camera app freezes and doesn't store anything in memory. Whilst Jpeg works flawlessly and instantly as expected. RAW would be amazingly nice if it actually works and I am just missing something crucial.

EDIT: And in reference to the couple previous posts, I get the artifacting too. Just assumed from reading the thread that it would be a permanent staple unless a proper driver was done for us. Not a big deal since I only see it in portrait/landscape transitions and the app switcher thumbnails.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
The updating at the beginning migt be normal because ART works a bit different than Dalvik.

However I don't know it for sure because I haven't don't much research about ART.

A logcat would be nice ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr08:
Hopefully this is what you need?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I would gladly try it out for the toroplus as long as you implemented the DPI settings back into your stable rom...my wife has a toro but being partially blind with the small DPI I doubt she would test for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
See the Toro thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Use a root file explorer and change the dpi it's simple to do.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
I'll test if needed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
Could you explain how to do that please? Would you also know the stock DPI setting for the nexus? I use es file explorer and root explorer..I really would like to use slimkat as it seemed much smother and much less laggy and more stable then cm..I couldn't believe how smooth it was even doing a dirty flash!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Go into system folder then select r/o ,long press buildprop, then open with text editor then set density to 320, then reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Stock DPI is 320
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Hahaha my bad i run both slim on my nexus 7 and phone, yes dpi is 320 on toroplus, my bad for having a Brian fart. Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I'll be flashing later today..I've been on cm for over a year and its always been really buggy to me.I tried the latest slimkat and I couldn't believe how much better it was in performance and battery life! My Need for speed and real racing was also lag free using even the stock slimkat kernel!! Thanks I'll be a slim fan forever now :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jayshocka:
I had an issue getting the DPI settings to stick.... Here is what I did... Unzipped the ROM, opened the build prop file and edited there set to 320 rezipped and flashed.

Hope it helps

App in Play store for changing dpi

There is a free app in the play store called Texdroider DPI that I have used to easily change DPI in ROMs. Maybe that will help?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I wanted to update the slimkat situation..I did a clean flash and did as you guys said with the DPI and its working great!!! I'm now a slimrom guy for life!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Your welcome. Slimrom is sick.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
Will I still need to change the DPI on the stable build or has the stable rom now have a setting for DPI ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Not included yet. We don't add the old one back because we would like to be able to change DPI without having to reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trident:
Maybe this is what I'm noticing.

My old eyes are having trouble seeing text, icons and images because everything looks so small. I changed the font size to HUGE and that helped, but it's still difficult to read anything that I can't zoom into.

Is there another setting or mod that I can do to make this easier on

my

eyes?

I am not code friendly- I can flash, but not into changing code within ROM files.

But seriously, this ROM (from what I can see of it) is slick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Maybe this helps:

Trident..I sent you a detailed pm on how to change your DPI..its a long step by step message and I guess xda has a text limit as I couldn't seem to post it..good luck and if you have any questions feel free to pm me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lilhgarcia1:
is there a way to get activedisplay on this rom btw everything is running great
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
There are AFAIK xposed modules. But I'm not sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Trident:
Got it.

It did help, but it one of the least intuitive interfaces on an app I've seen.

I did figure it out though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Haven't used it myself.

The DPI changer is in the making however.

Was a fan of Lean Kernel until I discovered Vanir Kernel. Lean was always buggy for me. Lean CPU/GPU properties didn't stick using any Rom no matter what I did, horrid battery life and my phone never deep slept. This is with literally 0 apps installed besides GAPPS. I would set my settings, sleep the device by the lock button, and when ever the screen turned back on the settings were back to stock. Even with set on boot checked. Tried this with every Rom and always had the same problem. With Vanir my CPU/GPU configuration saves, my phone deep sleeps again and I get amazing battery life and can have what ever app I want. I still choose maybe 3 apps to install but that's it. The other day I get a notification saying a have a SlimRom update. STABLE KITKAT?! I said. Fresh install of SlimKat, GApps, and Vanir 1.0.8 and the phone grew legs, arms and is now my personal servant... :) All jokes aside, IMHO this is by far the best Rom I have ever ran on any of my devices. Keep up the great work SlimTeam!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] empathyislost:
STABLE stable, or just stable-stable?

is there a list of bugs anywhere? are there any major functionality issues with this rom specific to toroplus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
Where did you get the vanir kernel? I've looked all over trying to find one..all I can find is vanir ROMs..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr08:
No major showstoppers that I'm aware of using it so far. The GPU bug which just affects landscape/portrait transitions and the app switcher thumbnails is the only thing that sticks out honestly. Everything else seems to work just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] empathyislost:
thank you. that GPU bug was what I was remembering from earlier builds of all 4.4 roms for toroplus. it's a shame it cannot be figured out..

other than that, any issues with cell reception, data drops/handoff issues? that's really what I'm most worried about as this phone is my only source of communication and needed on a whim's notice!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] AGoogleUser:
I'm running this ROM with vanir kernel 1.0.8 and ART. No problems at all. What about anyone else? How is Android Run Time for you fellow xda'rers?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nitefall:
Can you upload the vanir kernel to drive please or post a link.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lambofgod13:
Use fancy kernel it's way better in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jten9:
I'm using fancy kernel; everything is running smoothly and the gpu bug with this combination seems pretty minimal for me.

I do, however, have data handoff issues. 4g-3g switching seems fine so far (only been running this rom for a few days so still testing) but switching from or turning off wifi leaves me with no data. Toggling wifi/data/airplane modes doesn't help, only a reboot brings it back.

I'm using GJ04 radios.

I read back several pages (been away for a while so I'm a bit out of the loop) and didn't see anything; are there any fixes or radio/kernel combinations that fix the issue?

Thanks all!

I tried PM'ing the folks who asked for this Kernel but XDA wont show me if i sent them as my sent box is empty.

So here is the index of Vanir for tuna. http://www.emccann.net/jimsth/le_kernel/vanir_tuna/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jten9:
I posted (a couple replies earlier) that my 4g to 3g data switching was good as long as I wasn't switching from wifi... unfortunately I was wrong.

My data is very unstable; 4g to 3g switch is inconsistent. Sometimes my phone just shows no data; sometimes it shows a 3g signal but in actuality there is no data connection at all. The only thing that fixes it is to reboot, only to have the problem come up again.

Really like this rom; any fix or solution to the data issue? I hate to have to go back to 4.2.2

Is there not a theme chooser on this ROM nor any way to adjust kernel settings ? I've really had no problems with slimkat as of yet..I would like to see a few options that were installed on slims previous ROMs..so far with a full fresh install and the slimgapps I've had no real problems it would just be nice to change the themes and kernel settings..it would make this the perfect ROM
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Theme chooser is getting redeveloped.

IIRC the kernel settings won't come back however I'm not 100% sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
The only problem I have seen so far is the battery % never charges above 98% unless I shut down the phone and charge it..I have tried clearing the battery stats but it didn't make any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
Today I took a road trip and ran into a data problem..the phone showed that it had 4g data and I also had five bars for signal strength as I have had in that area even when my phone was all original..today I found that even though data was showing 4g I had no data service at all.I rebooted and still had the same issue. Later the phone switched to 3g finally worked.it also is not automatically switching to WiFi..I have to do it manually..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Yeah data is a mess on toro and toroplus.

We'll try to improve it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
this rom is soooo perfect other than a couple of small bugs.I want to thank you guys for all the hard work you have put into these roms for these now outdated phones!! without your dedicated work we would never have kitkat for these older nexus phones.maybe one day I will be able to afford to upgrade to a newer phone and even then I wont upgrade unless I can put a slimrom on it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] culaponk:
Thanks for latest weekly build. Running perfectly on booth my toro and toroplus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr08:
I do have a few extra bugs to throw in here if I can get some insight on them. May or may not be Slimkat related but my mom has a toroplus model as well which is on stock 4.3 so these are only what I have experienced on mine and not hers.

After some undetermined amount of time when the phone goes to sleep it will completely stop responding to external input. It won't be frozen per-se because often I will be listening to music and it will continue to run but I can't wake it up and the play/pause button on my earbuds won't work. Only option is a battery pull. Happens once or twice a night while on shift at work.

Random full-on freezes but to a lesser frequency than the above issue. In this case it will usually be during screen on usage and will give the telltale audio skipping if playing anything, screen will stay on, etc..

Very minor issue but if playing audio either music or podcasts, locking the screen will cause a split second stutter during screen-off transition.

I do know there are issues with 3rd party roms and PRL/profile updates so am trying to clarify a direction to go on this one: In the Columbus market we are half launched for LTE. Where I live there is no LTE but near work there's clear visible signal. If I turn on LTE at work, Signalcheck will report it as unregistered and remain disconnected. But 3G works just fine. Given I activated the device at home it was only under 3G service. Is it possible the activation only pulled info for 3G or should it have activated the 4G radio as well?

Another minor nitpick but I noticed in the most recent weekly releases the app switcher changed. Is there any way to switch this back to the stock version? Not a big deal but I am personally partial to the old version myself. :)

Thanks guys. Keep up the great work. Loving the rom so far. And after upgrading to a Hyperion 3500mah battery, my battery life has been amazing. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
I haven heard yet of the first two bugs.

The third one is something I'm very unfamiliar with. LTE seems to work a bit different than here.

Maybe it could be because of your contract?

The old recent menu got fully replaced by the new one.

We'll add some customisations later but not the option to turn it off.

Would be too bloaty.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr08:
I'm going to see how things run this time around with the freezing bits. I ended up swapping around kernels before and when the stable build came out it overwrote another kernel and I left it there so it COULD be related. I just did a fresh install this morning (by listed instructions: wipe data/cache, format /system, flash slimkat+gapps) and leaving the included kernel alone. Main reason for trying before was trying to squeak every bit of juice out of the stock battery.

As far as LTE I am on Ting which supports it. I've even flashed Ting focused APN's floating around to no avail. I may just post something in Ting's support and see if they can clarify.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cr08:
Just wanted to point out that after last night's shift I didn't have any freezing issues to speak of when they normally take place. I'll keep an eye out.

Also LTE seems to be fixed. When I did the fresh flash I did the full wipe as noted above, then in direct succession slimkat, gapps, and the aforementioned Ting APN's (one listed actually in Ting help documents from another customer for 4.4 Gnex roms) and booted up. And although I didn't have time to actually test, just going by phone status it seems 4G/3G handoff has been ok going to/from home and work. Mind you in both locations I have Wifi to use so no ability to do any solid tests yet. But as noted, this market is still in its infancy for LTE so coverage is spotty and unofficial. This is on the latest GJ04 radios, btw.

The split second audio pause on screen-off transition is elleviated some but not completely gone. Again, not a huge issue or showstopper but figured it is worth mentioning. :)

Nothing else I can think of so far to report. Everything seems solid as a rock.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] uconnpat:
any chance to get omniswitch in this rom
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexusbandit:
I was curious when the data bug might be worked on and a new update may be released? I understand you guys stay pretty busy and this is something you guys do for free so maybe if you have a general idea would be great..I love slimkat and I'm greatful for what you have so far
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nebucatnetzer:
Not possible to say something exact atm.

Kufikugel has quite some health problems and he's the main force behind Slim.

I am sorry to hear about Kufikugels health problems..I hope its not anything serious and that everything works out OK for him..I was just curious because you guys are always on top of things and its been a while since I heard anything on an update..thanks for letting us know and again let Kufikugel know that I hope he has a good recovery and not to worry about this stuff till he is doing better..I can wait..still love the great work of the slim team !!

You want fancy r44 if you flash it and don't change one setting your score on quadrant should jump dramatically..your phone will run like its in a marathon.. Battery life has been great so far and the performance is actually better any ROM and kernel combo I've ever used..my slimkat now rocks !!! My phone has been off the charger for about 6hours and I'm still at 92% on my battery life..slimkat with a reflashed radio and this kernel and greenify made this the best kitkat available to me..each person is different so keep in mind that though its perfect for me you might want something different..

I'm have some issues with sound on need for speed and real racing 3 and when I call out using my Bluetooth..my ROM is still stock slimkat and no tweaks of any kind..I had no problems at first with this so I'm thinking maybe an app I installed may have caused this problem.. I'm curious if anyone else has had this problem before I reflash and install apps one at a time to try and find the problem..other then that I have really drove this ROM hard without one problem..even art works to perfection ! :)
