Couple of questions...

1 does this ROM not support spen

2 anyone know how to get vzw visual voice mail working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
I can answer the first, it supports s pen like any other aosp ROM.

What happens with visual voicemail?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gamedic12112:

Hey guys I uploaded a new build here:

http://beta.basketbuild.com/devs/view/gchild320?subpath=/Slim/11.13.13

Seems to do everything well, but had I found any issues I wouldn't have uploaded it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sixstrings78:
So far I like this rom. Of this has been answered before I apologize. First, I can't find how to take photos with voice even tho I checked the FAQ on your site, I didn't see a microphone option. Second, I can't seem to get it to read my entire external out internal sdcard. Any help would greatly be appreciated. Again thanks for this awesome rom.

GPS working as expected now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
It always worked perfectly for me. I have a feeling the issue may be gapps packages that include maps from the get go. So if someone with GPS issue can use a different gapps package and download maps from play store, that should do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mfinlay04:
I've found that GPS is an issue if the system is wiped coming from a TW ROM. I normally don't have trouble if I come from a tw ROM and get a GPS lock before I flash an aosp ROM. However I saw when flashing this it wipes system, and I don't have any GPS at all. So I'm fairly certain that it the issue

Thanks for porting the ROM love slimbean.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] bendystrawboy:
gchild are you running this or pac?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Both depends on the day.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gchild320:
Here's a link to 4.4 alpha build. It does have some slim features included (some status bar stuff, nav bar, % battery).

http://beta.basketbuild.com/devs/view/gchild320?subpath=/Slim

You'll need 4.4 gapps, slim or PA's work fine. You'll likely have camera issues on a clean flash, but please let me know if you don't.

Also, you'll need to flash this in latest cwm.

Thanks to sbrissen as always for updated t0lte device tree.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] dtroup64:
I'll be messing with this as soon as I get home this evening. Thanks a ton for working so hard on both roms. Wish you'd stop making it so difficult for me to stick with 1 of em! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I copied your file just for sh!ts & giggles. I didn't notice any difference, but I am glad you got GPS working correctly :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
The only major change is the lte set to 1.

I just checked my friends phone running stock rooted 4.1.2 and his gps.conf is identical to ours. All location stuff works correctly there, so what is actually requesting the gps.conf because somewhere there a disconnect between stock and aosp.

I know just enough about programming to be dangerous so i don't want to look, even sure i know where to look
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Is anyone else having problems restoring sms/mms via Titanium Backup? The Privacy Guard feature keeps blocking TiBU from writing from a backup. Each time I attempt to restore sms/mms, the shield (permissions) icon appears in the notification bar. I tap the notification, and permissions shows TiBU write sms/mms is "off". I flip it "on", try restoring sms/mms, and the same thing happens. Restoring data for other apps gives me no problems, and restoring call log and wifi access points work fine.

This also happened on beta 2.3, but I chalked it up as a fluke. Back then I didn't have any important texts that I needed, but now it is becoming a pain in the ass.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trollishtrucker:
Is this a small file or did I get a bad download? I only got 136mb.

Beta 2.4 simultaneous voice+data works and fast GPS lock here. Thanks gchild320 :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] rjyoung00:
Is it just me or does this rom not support themes? I looked on slimroms.net and it looks like the option should be there, but I cannot find it in settings on beta 2.3

So far it's a great ROM. Good work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] laosguy:
Is there a way to get stock DPI settings
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
It does not support CM themes. AFAIK the only skinning option is Settings > The real dark slim (blacks out some gapps, but you must install slimroms AIO gapps for that to work). You can try Metamorph.

Use a root enabled file manager to open /system/build.prop as a text file, look for ro.sf.lcd_density=245 and change that number to 320. Save the file and reboot.

Flashing 2.4 broke my gps. Before flashing I made a backup, restored that and still no gps. Time to flash a tw Rom I guess
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] trollishtrucker:
Odd mine locked on instantly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdinphx:
Edit last line of GPS.conf to =1, save and exit, then reboot. Fire up gps app like GPS Status and get a lock. Should work ...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Yup, that is what I posted last night. Not working now, no idea why.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdinphx:
When I first switched to Slimkat, I had to reboot 3 times before my GPS fired up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
Weird though since 2.3 was flawless once I changed lte location to 1. Especially since you would think restoring 2.3 would have brought it back

Edit:3 reboots brought it back. Bizarre
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Interesting. gchild320, this may be worth noting in OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] peacewise:
I clean flashed to 2.4 and going into Security in Settings causes Settings to crash. Anyone else getting this error?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] ffuser1:
running very smoothly so far. only 2 issues...

1) if i press the home button when the device is off, sometimes it registers as getting pressed twice (which brings up the recent apps menu) instead of just once (which would only turn the screen on). also, sometimes, when the screen is on, the home button doesn't register as being pressed, so I have to press it again (2 presses, only the second registers). i've restarted multiple times and it was a clean install, so i'm up for any suggestions before switching roms

2) contact images are very poor quality, even when re-syncing from facebook and gmail.

Love this rom, Sure wish visual voice mail worked on these roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I have never had that issue. Redownload the ROM, wipe everything including /system and reflash

The home button issue was noted earlier in the thread. When the phone is about to enter deep sleep and you tap the home button, it may register a long tap.

My contact images look the same as on any other ROM, I am not sure why yours are degraded. Go into Settings > Accounts, tap your Google account name and uncheck Google contacts then recheck it. This will force a resync. If images do not improve, wipe & reflash ROM. I don't use FB, I have no idea how to fix those images.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
That happened to me on beta 2.3. Copy everything that you want to keep to your desktop/laptop, then use Philz Touch Recovery to partition sdcard1. It will ask for sizes, use the largest available

Just installed this after running PAC nightlies for the past few months. So far so good! No auto-reboots like I have been experiencing daily on PAC... Great job G!

FYI I flashed PhilZ Touch recovery over TWRP, wiped system/data, then followed the instructions in the OP to install ROM & GApps. Installed perfectly and FAST.

I'm wanting to give this a go I'm on mj9 base now I just flashed newest cwm. I've done aosp before so I know most of the stuff two questions will this screw with my ext. Sd. At all like going good from 4.2 to 4.3 tw? Do I need to flash the kernel in the op? And we'll a 3rd question can I bounce back and forth between 4.3tw roms and aosp roms without hassle?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
1. While on beta 2.3, I played with two other roms. When I came back to SlimKat, my sdcard was not recognized even though it was fat32 and I hadn't done anything to make it stop working. Someone else had the same issue a few days ago, so you should backup everything on your sdcard just in case. If it fails to mount later, just repartition /sdcard1 in recovery

2. gchild320's build comes with a kernel, no need to flash a separate kernel unless you prefer another

3. You should not have problems flipping roms if you clean wipe each time

Update: HKTheme Manager is an Xposed module that supports CM themes, XTheme Engine and HKTheme (the developer's own theme tool)

No random reboots here either. How many times has it happened? Does it happen only while you are talking on phone, or at other times?

Are you referring to Moto X-like active display? No.

I must say that now that data works while in a voice call this is the best note 2 ROM I have used.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BBLV:
Just happened the one time last night (but I've only had the ROM for 2 days now). I received a call, clicked onto speaker phone, and then hit the power button to turn the screen off, as I always do, then poof, Samsung Galaxy Note II reboot screen. I'll report back if it happens again or if I catch onto a pattern of any sort.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
I tested HKTheme Manager with a CM theme (Black Intense) and it looks great, but some menus lag when first opened. For example, the first time I opened Settings > Apps, and app list failed to appear. I waited 10-15 seconds, then hit the home button, and it didn't respond right away either. I was about to pull battery, but the Nova homescreen finally returned and the home, back & menu buttons responded normally again. The next time I opened Settings > Apps, the app list populated normally. I noticed that any time a new graphical theme element is used for the first time, there is some lag. But once it is cached, everything works as it should. No hot reboots or freezes so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pdinphx:
Installed HK Thememanager and started to experience massive battery drain ... went from 68 to 0 during a 2 1/2 hour bike ride running GPS and PowerAmp. Something is definitely wrong ...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Yeah I have also noticed more battery drain. No, it's not the ROM. Battery drain was not an issue until I installed HKTheme Manager. Since this morning, I have burned through 1 full battery and down to 60% on my spare battery. Yikes

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DSinfinite:
Question for anyone who can answer.. To use different icon packs and GEL do I use Xposed or do I have to use Nova?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Dude this ROM is crazy stable. Only issue is my phone won't enter deep sleep with stock kernel. Sits on 200mhz. All things considered it still has had very good standby battery even with that. I think someone here said devil kernel fixes that issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Yours does not enter deep sleep at all? Mine has been in deep sleep 2 out of 5 hrs today. Google Services is always waking it up though

I don't use GEL but I think Xposed + Unicon module is necessary.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
see. No deep sleep. Battery hasn't taken a hit since its such a low state but still.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Did you create a wakelock to kill wake lag?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Na man. Never seen a wakelock like this except the no wake lag on tw. Haven't messed with anything on here. Clean install with Philz. Maybe a reboot will help

And I could have sworn my wallpaper was blue last night but today its white. Am I crazy? Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Yeah you have some weird stuff going on there. If it was just the no sleep thing, I'd say reboot a few times & call it a day. But you have gremlins also changing your wallpaper, so I would clean wipe and start fresh. Maybe even redownload the ROM before flashing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
So the wallpaper is supposed to be blue right?!?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Correct. This is the stock wallpaper

To the guys running devil kernel, what tangible benefits does it offer? I read the feature list, and I am not convinced that I need it. If you are a flashaholic then that is ok, I totally understand that because I used to be one too. But unless devil kernel gets insane battery life or zero wake lag or cooks me bacon, I just can't get motivated to mess with it.

---------- Post added at 06:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 AM ----------

I only used it for the audio options, but after putting v4a under system/priv-app it unnecessary unless it kills battery life, then i will back. Battery life w/o v4a was maybe 20 min better screen on time, but still at least 5 hours out either screen on but battery stats reset on reboot with devil kernel, and don't with stock kernel

Download devil tools, and you can see all the options, there are like 10 pages of tweakable items. There are so many I don't even understand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Thanks. I installed devil tools and got a peek at the tabs (it FC because I didn't flash devil kernel). It is nirvana for hardcore tweakers, but I don't need all that fluff. V4A is more than enough for me, and I learned long ago that OC/UV is more mental masturbation than anything...especially on ROMs that are updated frequently because you are always trying to figure out why something broke (ROM update vs. kernel tweaks). But I understand the appeal for anyone that *must* tinker with stuff, I am a recovering tinkerer. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
I hear ya, but phones/roms have made a lot of progress since my Palm pre (lol)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
The warning on slimroms page...that did not affect your build, correct?

Warning was about slow builds and broken builds I believe. That doesn't affect us since I build off my own box.

I just played with that. Its very nice, and lets you customize the Back button. I missed my "hold Back to kill" button :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Realm11984:
So I saw a couple of you mention V4A for audio options. Does this allow us to boost the lower volume levels? I also don't like messing with kernals anymore. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
V4A is a fancy DSP, it is not intended to fix low speaker output. V4A does not affect call volume, so if your caller's voice is not loud enough, V4A will not help. But for media playback, if you want to boost the volume of all frequencies, I suppose you could push all EQ levers up but it will probably sound distorted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] alki1979:
Can we used exposed modules with this rom. I just want to use greenify
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Yes but you must use dalvik runtime. Not because of the ROM, but because Xposed is not compatible with ART. Stick with dalvik and modules work fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] flyboy1100:
You can boost overall volume, that's what I'm using it for
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] sublimaze:
Ok, I wasn't sure. Can you explain how? I am sure Realm11894 and others would appreciate it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Shamestick:
I have no battery stats as of yet, so I'll see how that goes as the day goes on. I do like features that custom kernels offer, such as fading notification LEDs and touchbooster, as well as a very recent version of linux. I don't even use it for audio since I have V4A, but whether or not its placebo in other regards it doesn't matter to me as long as it doesn't inhibit my experience
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mdbowman:
Quick question. Are gapps inverted in 4.4 using TRDS?

Yes, some are inverted (if you flash slimrom gapps) but the devs have not themed all of the gapps.
