So far so good

I got tired of all the issues with my last rom so I decided to install this one. OMG it's so great. The DPI setting it's at is nice and the UI settings are great. I installed all my apps and it runs like a champ. Best of all the Bluetooth streaming works flawless so far! It's been only 1 day so far so I hope no issues creep up. I do have 1 problem, the camcorder doesn't work. The cam freezes for a second and that's it, nothing. I know it's not a hardware issue as I temporarily installed the AT&T rom before installing Slimkat. I tested the cam and there was no issue. I didn't retest it right after installing Slimkat so I guess it could be an issue with one of my apps that are installed.

Anyway good job on the rom and thanks.

Slimkat

Loving this rom more everyday. I installed Wild kernel along with the Tame app and I'm getting more battery out of the phone. So far no problems with Slimkat or the kernel. Can't wait for SlimLP.

wifi not turning on.

Just wondering if anyone had an issue with the wifi not turning on? the option is greyed off and the screen say turning on wifi. left it on all night. any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Coming from what ROM previously? Was the zip file MD5 hash verified? Clean flash? What recovery and version?

I take it you are installing the Stable 9 version from the Slim web site? That's the latest.

I know the Stable 9 SlimKat version for the Skyrocket works as I tested it myself. Unfortunately we have all moved to compiling Android 5.0 and soon 5.1, so Android 4.4.4 development has all but ended.

If there were enough users reporting the same issue or issues, I would consider compiling an update, but my time is already quite limited, and any time I do have for dev stuff is focused solely on Lollipop right now. I deleted all my local KitKat source last December...

Anyone else have this issue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WontonNoodle:
Does anyone have the problem where the phone mic randomly does not work. Like the other person on the line cannot hear me because the mic is not working at all. Have to restart to fix it. Any permanent fix? Kind of sucks when I pick up a call the other person cannot hear me. Especially when it's an important one.

Flashed Slim-skyrocket-4.4.2.beta.1.7-WEEKLY-2075 and Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.1.beta.1.5 before heading to sleep yesterday. Happy to say the phone did not experience the sleep death (screen fails to power on/wake up) but I cannot get used to the Google Bar on the homescreen. So its back to my old rom. I might pick this up later.

Why not just get a new launcher. You don't necessarily need to use the stock. I don't think I have used stock launcher in a long while

If I recall, NovaLauncher (included in the ROM) also had the google bar and from a quick search I saw there is a setting toggle to disable the bar.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Slim doesn't have the Google Camera so far... plus the Google Camera has proprietary PhotoSphere, so I don't think you'll see it on non-Nexus devices like the Skyrocket here.

Maybe you meant to post in a different thread...?

Anyway, I think I saw some SlimKat repo updates for the camera app while syncing today. Got a Beta 1.95 build together with Moretz, not tested yet though. Maybe tonight... ;)

Hi,

gps is not working at all, tried gps test and not location ,

attached is the logfile

thanks

Search the site on how to update your gps.conf file. I know because i had the same issue and it fixed it. (basically you download and replace the file, and restart, thats it)

Nope no testers and forgot to ask last night. Camera app is brand new (based from caf). I will need testers to fine tune camera / video During the week.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
What can we do to help troubleshoot the camera other than tell you results of taking pictures? For me the pictures are really hazy even after focusing. The backlight seems to wash out the foreground, I.e. halos around lights. The video doesn't record at all. Amy other help I can give let me know. Here's an example of what I'm taking about. Other than the camera the ROM is tiptop, running like a clock

Take a few picks, try to record video and grab a bug report and link it here or PM me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Here is my issue with recorded video not always saving: http://pastebin.com/FKepq76N. It seems to happen after I record with 1080p which results in corrupted video and then selecting 720p. It records and saves 720p videos, after I close the Camera App. I think with 1080p, the issue is related to the preview because when I was testing Thddude's CM 11 build a week ago, Camera was working flawlessly and he had a working non blurred-preview. I am a flashing machine so I have been trying to flash different roms to help OPs from diagnosing problems and the Camcorder issue seems universal.

Logcat: http://pastebin.com/8xnD0x4K

Opened camera, took a few pics, opened camcorder and noticed it was set by default to 720p. Tried to but couldn't start video capture. Switched to 1080p but still not even capturing.

Sending PM...

Edit: on skyrocket
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thantos:
Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. When you receive a call with the screen off, my phone has a huge delay before the screen wakes up so I can activate the call.

Also, google music causes the phone to reboot after extended play without fail.

This is happening on Beta 2 after clean wipe.

Thanks!

Change your cpu governor to on demand from interactive
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thantos:
Yes I am using stock kernel.

Thanks! I'll try that out. I guess I'll have to install a kernel tuner as the current versions don't have the option to change the governor!

I noticed too. ;| oh well!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thantos:
UPDATE: I've switched over to the UBER kernel on Lazy/CFQ. I've also disabled the unobtrusive menu in the phone settings. The problem has gone away. Though on slimkat beta 2.1 my android.phone process seems to crash during the call. Doesn't affect the call, it just prevents me from ending the call.

Interesting stuff. Let's see if this is resolved in this week's release!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Anyone who flashed this weekend's weekly 01/12 - There's an updated build Dated 01/13

There's reports of Hot Reboots on the 01/12 - So flash the new build ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I looked at the change log and didn't see any verbage about the camcorder. Once that gets fixed (hopefully it will), SlimKat can hopefully go Official.

It's really made a lot of progress, and very quickly. TRDS is well implemented in the dialer and most, if not all core apps I've checked out on my test builds and testing for others...

Thanks for being the official SlimKat Skyrocket device supporter, [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION]!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
Is the dialer fix in there for the.black screen when making a phone call?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thantos:
In the newest beta build the problem appears to have gone away when combined with the UBER kernel (Lazy/CFQ).

Chamber Of Secrets

Hi guys. I was browsing through the developer options, and saw a black box that had no text on the bottom of it. I tapped it, and shockingly, I see the words "The Chamber Of Secrets has opened", and see it checked. Does anyone know what this does, or is it just an Easter egg? Thanks.

EDIT: not exactly gapps, but built in ROM apps... Calendar comes with the ROM, not gapps, so it's already TRDS-friendly.

Yep. GPS was broken for me (and I think someone else too) on this and the last weekly (beta 2.4).

@prbassplayer also referenced this himself recently.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] roger_n:
Thanks for pointing that out usually when GPS doesn't work you see a ton of comments I was starting to think it was just me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] anomalya:
Could be because there's been a number of ROM flavors posted lately to keep everybody occupied. :good:

Downloaded this file: Slim-skyrocket-4.4.2.build.2.6.RC2-WEEKLY-2657.zip and loaded it on my I727 as normal (full wipes/format system), then on reboot....nothing. It looks like a hard brick. Can't enter recovery, can't enter download mode. Am I going to have to do the JTAG thing? (That might be problematic, today's a holiday here.)

Anybody have any suggestions?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EQ811977:
Running build 2.6 RC2 with no problems. Bad battery? Hardware failure? Just guessing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
r there any signs of life.

does pc reconize anything when connecting to phone or any messages from windows

when trying dl mode did u remove battery first, if so leave out for a few minutes b4 putting battery back in.

a usb jig might help in getting into dl mode, if that fails a jtag might help if its not hw failure.

test: remove battery and leave it out and plug in usb cable to pc or charger > any vibrations, no >then bricked or hw failure, yes >then maybe not hw failure and usb jig or jtag might help.

hw failure usually is mobo
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
Thanks for your reply.

When I plug into the pc, holding vol-up+down button, I usually get a message that windows doesn't recognize the device. I tried your suggestion, removing the battery and plugging, nothing. I've tried every button combination, vol-up, vol-down, vol-up+down, both with and without the power button at the same time then subsequently plugging in the USB cable (and removing the battery and letting it sit empty for "awhile" each time), and the above message is the only response I get--only when using both vol-up+down when plugging in.

I guess I picked a bad day to give up smoking, coffee, dope, women, AND flashing a new ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] vincom:
so to clarify, no signs of life.

best guess mobo but a jtag might work but i dont think so imo

GPS Non-Functional

Doh. GPS remains an issue for this latest weekly (RC2) -- at least for me, even on a successful clean flash (w/ latest PhilZ).

Anyone else?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] killablack:
If running Windows Look in your device manager at the usb devices. If it says qshub with the phone plugged in then your phone is most likely bricked and you need jtag if not it be the cable or a faulty jack that's disrupting the driver recognition process so try different cable and play with it:o. But be warned I had the same thing happen to me and my emmc board was bad and even jtag couldnt bring it back. Do some more research before calling it dead and possibly look into insurance. Good luck sorry it happened but it was very unlikely that it was rom related
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] franzpimp87:
Clean install... Camera and camcorder have correct view (in video it is not a blurry image), but camcorder records nothing, doesn't matter if I use H264 or MP4 or 1080 or 720 or 480, etc; there isn't any video file created.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
This is a known issue with many of the AOSP KK ROMs. For the Skyrocket, I understand it is due to missing vendor blobs, or in other words, open source drivers compatible with KitKat.

You're not alone in the desire to get video recording working... ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
Or someone could step up build it and go to the slim devs and ask to be maintainer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
There's such a heavy defeatist attitude from the users on here lately. Devs come and go the only guarantee for support is by doing it. People come up with all kinds of excuses and blocks but at that point it's your fault there's no ROM support. Guys we can keep this device going but the community has to take the reigns and stop being entitled end users and become a collective of knowledge capable of more than relying on singular people.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Sparkplug90:
I talked to PBR on saturday..we have lost support for this build..i would love to see someon step up..i personaly cannot..i dont know the coding at all sadly..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
You've proven my point.... I don't know how to code either but I'm forcing myself to learn something that can not only be used as a hobby but buffer my resume like crazy. It's called expanding ones horizons.

Edit: The reason xda was created was a media for developers to share work and ideas in order to expand on their own work. Over time a lot of the winmo guys moved on to android and things picked up for us. Over the years I've watched the transition from development centric forum where anything was possible to a user centric environment where everyone looks to someone else and the few that do work on things are divided. Some are out to expand open source code and share, others are in it for glory and to build their name. This place has lost its way and it's depressing. We need people willing to say I will look into it instead of I hope someone else can. These mental blocks and excuses people use to say I won't help the community survive are exactly why this device is fading. Imagine if everyone chipped in on learning and helped make the device a little better, each individuals contributions alone may not seem like much but combined could turn into an incredible device capable of surviving well past EOL. I may work on computers now but in the past I was a construction worker, automotive technician, and building automation technician. I'm a worker, soldier, and a father, but I make time everyday to learn new things and become better than I was. Mediocrity is unacceptable, if people want to keep this device going start reading up and ask around about how to help these devs or ROMs. Show you care otherwise let this device fade into obscurity.

Please advise me accordingly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TheCybertronian:
[MENTION=274549]konker[/MENTION] if your company let's a rooted device through I'd be amazed as that is absolutely poor security practice. Just a heads up from someone in the business. That kind of privilege escalation usually sets off flags.

Yes encryption should work.
