New kernel preview version... SlimMo

I've been doing some experimenting and have a new test build I wanted to share to get some feedback. :victory:

This build is based on the Slim official release version 6, but is technically "unofficial". I'll call it SlimMo, lol.

It is SlimKat v4.4.4 with the Moretz kernel (source). This has OC capability, Sweep2Wake, voltage control, fast charge, and more governors to choose from. Special thanks to [MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION] for providing this and for updating a couple things to get full media-caf support and compatibility with Slim! :highfive:

Skyrocket_SlimKat_build_6_with Moretz kernel

Slim beta GApps

Please report any SlimMo bugs you find

in this thread

, and NOT in the SlimRoms.net forums! I will say I've tested this and haven't found any issues yet. ;)

NOTE 1: To change CPU frequencies, governors, I/O schedulers, etc, I would recommend using No Frills CPU Control, although voltage control may not work with it...

NOTE 2: I will

NOT

be providing separate, flashable kernels. This is only an unofficial test version right now. I haven't decided yet if it will continue with Moretz...

Enjoy!

Messing with this now. No problems with install:) Seems very smooth and responsive so far.

Any chance of getting USB Mass Storage?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
How`s bluetooth on this bad boy? Still dropping randomly or stable now? I've been on sultan's for so long now and just looking to try something new I guess. Plus, Dan is the Man :highfive: lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] berniesteven:
Downloading now. Thanks Dan

SGH-I727 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Yep this thing is awesome! I was able to switch to ondemand with no problem. Because I am thinking long term, I even ported a couple apps from CM (Apollo and Lock Clock) and as mentioned in my pm, playing songs have no stutter so the media-caf must have helped! Thanks so much for this!:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] berniesteven:
First reaction is really smooth. Silly question, but is there a reason there are no themes? Did I miss a post?

SGH-I727 Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I'll have to look at that one and what is missing/required... I believe Google intentionally removed it a couple of versions ago, although I know it's been added to different ROMs here and there.

Can I ask why you need/want it? Are you able to transfer files from the internal and external storage locations with MTP? I do understand it's slower, but possibly more reliable and safer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks. The Slim team has been looking into what would be required to incorporate the new CM theme engine in Slim. Some parts conflict with TRDS, and for some older devices, this new engine causes very laggy performance.

Did you have themes on an earlier build of SlimKat? I didn't remove anything, but it quite possibly may not have been there in the source...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
SlimKat has never had any theme engine support lol. You thinking of switching to this kernel Dan?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
1.5hr drive home and BT did not drop at all; so far so good!

Most of the software I have on my computer doesn't recognize the SD when using it as a Media Device (i.e. BeyondCompare, mp3tag, etc). I'm using my phone as an SD card reader... lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
It's only a test right now. I know about kernel source requirements and credits...

I'm looking at a more stock-ish version for stability actually, without OC.

I sent you a message on Hangouts. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
For anyone interested, now that the SR has an OFFICIAL release up on SlimRoms.net, the weeklies are automatically building. Last build was on 7/8...

The weeklies still have the CM kernel right now, and most likely have issues switching CPU governors. I'm still looking at what may be broken or what not. ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Well thats it. I'm jumping on board. Downloading now :D. Thanks for everything Dan

SELinux Permissive

Hey [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION], I was just wondering why SlimKat has SELinux enabled as Permissive? I know it probably is nothing, but was just wondering as most other KitKat roms have it set on the other mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
It's dictated by the kernel.

Slim FAQ: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/faq
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
I believe when back when it was set as permissive due to problems when it was in enforcing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
To which build are you referring, the "official" SlimKat build, or the Moretz test build I posted earlier?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
It should be the same on both as its being set on celox-common folder's boardconfig ;). Unless moretz itts forcing it through defconfig then I don't know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I can look when I get home later
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Yup, they are indeed the same.

BoardConfigCommon in celox-common has

androidboot.selinux=permissive in BOARD_KERNEL_CMDLINE
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Thanks I was just curious as I noticed it on other roms set to enforcing, so just wanted to let you know. Comparing CM and Slim's celox has that androidboot.selinux line removed while everything else in the file is the same. The rom is running great on Permissive regardless! Your newest Moretz is running smooth like butter!:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
The SlimKat 6.4 Weekly (CM kernel) seems to have the governor switching issue fixed.

Can anybody who's running the 6.4 unofficial weekly build confirm this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MadnessG:
Cannot confirm because of several errors:

Upon flashing, it goes straight to the home screen instead of the setup page. When I try to log in, it tells me that it cannot communicate with the servers. Also, I cannot open Quick Settings, and holding the home key does not give me recent apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
Looks like a bad dl/flash lol. Verify sha1 for rom and gapps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I decided to try it and it was working perfect with Moretz kernel, but with the Weekly 6.4, I got a RR when the only change was the governor. Anyone else agree?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
Sadly no, tied up with other thing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I can share a link to my SK 4.4.1 beta 1.4 build if it's OK with you...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
Is the problem with waking up still present?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I had it happen once the first time it went to sleep restoring apps from the Play Store. I hard-rebooted it, and only one other time while restoring apps it got laggy and froze at the slide lock screen.

Since then, I rebooted it maybe 12-15 times and let it sit for extended times while charging and it was good, but if I unplug it (with the screen off?), sometimes the screen won't come back on without a hard reset. I have yet to dig into this with my limited Android dev knowledge.

So it's not ready for prime time yet, but it is a beta. I've already got a couple of PMs from other members who are interested in trying this. I could maybe have a link ready around 7-8PM EST since I'm at work right now, but I will defer to you. A few others contributing logcats may help resolve the screen issue. :cool:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
Ok guys new build on slimroms.net. Merged in cm caf repos to see if the bug happens. Is this happening any other ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EQ811977:
It has not happened to me on Cm11 nightly or Beanstalk. I'll get a log if it happens on the new build. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
The sleeping screen seems to be gone. Installed fine. Restored from Google with no problem. Nice work! The update still comes up, but I think we beat that like a dead horse already.

Edit: never mind screen sleep is still there. I'll grab a log next time
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] askpcguy:
I'll take another run at this when I get some time. It happens on a fresh clean install with no user apps or data.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
New build with some more cm upstream.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EQ811977:
I believe the screen sleep issue is gone. The previous alphas did it while setting up the phone. Think it's good to go now. Thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
Let me know in a few days. Want to be sure before I Ok it for Jenkins.

Cheers
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
Haven't had the screen issue as of yet. Been running for a couple hours. Restored everything fine, setup was smooth, etc. I did d/l the clock widget with weather from the slimroms.net site and those work fine. This offering is better than previous. Will have a better report as I crank on it during the day

EDIT: By COB I haven't had a lockup, random reboot, Bluetooth even works. It's way to early to judge battery, of course. IMHO its ready for primetime. For some reason Google music has a bug where it won't launch. Not a big deal seeing I use apollo, but some times it needs a kick in the butt. Nice work PR
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ridilen:
Loved the Slimbean ROM and I am sure I will love this one more. Thanks to all for their hard work.

Where can I d/l SK 4.4.1 beta 1.4 and try it out?

Plus, I select Roger LTE APN and the Network Mode shows only 2G and 3G options. My signal bounces from 3G to H+ and back. One reason I really loved this ROM is that it actually shows LTE when I am on LTE.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
Go to slimroms.net you have to find skyrocket files and the AIO gapps provided.

Also, make sure you're running a compatible KK recovery. There have been issues reported with TWRP before, but I'm not sure about the latest versions. I've been using PhilZ's recovery for many months on several different KK ROMs without issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I just wanted to let you know that if you want to eliminate OC from Moretz kernel, that isn't the Marla kernel the same as Moretz kernel, but without the OC? If that's the case, you could still keep the smoothest that the Moretz kernel has to offer because I don't even use the OC and this kernel/rom is so smooth and stable. Who knows, maybe the issue with the CM 11 kernel is because of the Permissive action that is defined in celox-common as CM 11 is on Enforcing? Thanks so much for your support!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Believe me, I've entertained the thought, especially after baking Moretz in...

I know what needs to be done to disable OC and modify the tables. I'm just concerned about the two kernels diverging too much, but we'll see. Maybe branch Moretz to "Mo". [emoji3]

I'm eyeballing "L" too. Hmmm... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Same here, here's hoping Google releases the final code soon and we can dive right in lol:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] MadnessG:
Ah, that may be it. Redownloaded the ROM, and everything works! The AOSP keyboard kept crashing on me, but after disabling it and installing Google Keyboard, all is well. Thanks for the hard work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ArtfulDodger:
[MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION], any chance you'd be interested in maintaining the sister device Hercules? I know users can port the Skyrocket build over, but it would be nice if we had a maintainer for this ROM again & have official builds. It was really popular before our phone got dropped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I've seen interest in the Hercules, but TBH, I barely have time for the SR. I'd have to look at what's required and of course don't have the Herc. so I can't promise anything.

Who was building for/supporting it on SlimBean 4.3? [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION]?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
Me lol. Device is 95%the same to Sr. In all honestly shouldn't be that much more time just run an extra build so a tester can test it but 99.9% if there's a bug on one it will be pressent on the other
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Ok, thanks. I'm familiar with the rotation sensor diff. I'll look at it tonight when I'm home. Might hit you up with some questions if i run into trouble... :)

Just resurrected my wife's old skyrocket to replace daughters Iphone(don't ask) and threw this ROM on it. Well done. Running lite and quick.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
6.48.4 is also available (https://goo.im/devs/philz_touch/CWM_Advanced_Edition/skyrocket/). Probably doesn't matter for those using Slim GApps, but is required for the latest version of PA PlayServices/Games Updater.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks. I haven't tested anything newer than 6.41.6 after I read about some users voicing concerns about some newer versions and file system formatting, maybe f2fs...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xonelith:
I'm not much of a tester, but I did install a few ROMs with it. I updated it the day it was posted and I've been going without any problems for .. 10 days.

I can't be sure, but I think I tried Beanstalk, Mokee, AOKP, Carbon, PACRom, and maybe Paranoid (i may have a problem:)) since I installed it. Mostly been running SultanXDA's CM 11. How would I know if i had a file system issue? Soft brick?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Maybe... idk really as I didn't read everything closely regarding the newer version, tbh.

I just find PhilZ to be very good, themeable, and when you add in Aroma, you have good root access file management in recovery. The only thing I wish that had was file timestamps. But then again, I haven't updated my Aroma files in quite a while- it just works. ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
OK, here's a test build using the Moretz kernel as a base, but without over-clocking or under-volting enabled to enhance stability. I haven't pushed the kernel changes to Bitbucket yet; I wanted to wait for some good feedback first... ;)

ROM: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567715180

As usual, grab the latest GApps from the Slim beta add ons download area.

For control of sweep-to-wake, fast charge, and CPU freq/governor control, I'd recommend [ROOT] Kernel Tweaker from the Play store.

Please report any bugs here, preferably with a Slim bugreport if applicable...

FYI Kernel updates have been forked over to Slim's repos. I've run the above test build for a whole day without issue.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droiduzr2:
loving this rom

I did some looking around and it sees that GPS does not work on our phones.

Is this correct?

Any ideas if they are close to fixing it?

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
Should be fixed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droiduzr2:
great, thanks for the update

Before I spend the time switching phones and setting it all up...can you tell me if it will be a patch or if we can flash the new updated rom over the old or do we have to do a clean install.

thanks:good:

* not an issue more of an observation but I noticed this Slim Rom does not have a built in DPI changer...is it a bug thing or just purposely left out?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Updates are normally in the form of a new ROM.

A clean flash is always recommended, since leaving /data intact can keep files and settings that may conflict with newer versions.

That being said, it's your phone, and if you want to try dirty flashing newer versions, it's up to you.

Always

wipe /cache and /dalvik, no matter if clean or dirty flashing. Most of the time you should be OK, however, if there are any issues that arise, , either immediately after or in the future, please do a full wipe install (format /data or perform a factory reset) before reporting them.

Make sure you have a nandroid backup, just in case... ;)

I believe the DPI settings were intentionally removed because the app itself had issues. Not aware of any ROM issues manually changing the DPI in the build.prop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droiduzr2:
Hey, thanks for the info. Yes, I am aware of dirty flashing. I tend to do clean installs. For some reason I am not a big fan of Titanium backup so I tend to do everything manually which takes some time as you know.

Glad to hear the GPS issue will be fixed.

Do you know if there is a list of what all the features are or do? I mean the Features under Navigation and Interface etc...

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I wouldn't use TiBu to restore any app data unless it came from a clean flash of one of the SlimKat builds (if at all).

The GPS issues have been fixed since the weekly builds started back in early June or so.

As far as the options, I would say to explore them. There are some cool new ones... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:

A bit confused...if GPS has been fixed since June then how come the official/stable build that I downloaded 3 days ago does not have the update in it??

---------- Post added at 06:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------

What do you guys use to see your notifications?

I can't seem to find the back light notification.

Is there a feature that turn on some visible light notification built in or do I have to get a 3rd party app?

Thanks:good::good::good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
What update? :confused:

This SlimKat ROM for the Samsung SGH-i727 Skyrocket has had working GPS since June and doesn't have BLN.

I recall there were some GPS issues long ago when going from one Android version to another, maybe it was from stock GB to ICS or JB, but that's really off-topic here.

If your GPS is broken, then your best bet is to open a new thread in the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting thread and ask for help over there. :victory:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] droiduzr2:
I flashed 3 phones with this KitKat rom exactly as the instructions said.

I do NOT get the GPS option in the rom to turn it on or the GPS button/tile.

What am I missing?

thanks

I see how it works now in Kitkat

I got the GPS to turn on and I see when you long press the location tile that it turns on the GPS cross.

I was expecting a separate GPS button like it has always been.

Thanks for the support everyone.

an interesting observation

I am using root file explorer and it says I am using 584mb and only 4mb free.

I only installed about 10 apps.

Why is my system partition full or have such low space?

Yes, I did 2 full wipes before I installed the ROM. I manually formatted each partition.

Update- it seems that when I installed the FULL Gapps package that is 250mb preinstall really expands into the /System/App folder instead of /Data/App folder.

I manually deleted some of the larger ones and reinstalled...I got back about 125mb free
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] prbassplayer:
