did something happened with the baseband in KitKat? moved files? permission problems? because i'm not able to change the baseband, i've tryed Defy parts and Baseband Switcher V4.0, but as i restart the phone, it returns to the europe one

by the way, the rom seems to run very fine and quick, the only problem i saw is the search icon not being rendered correctly as the search box is focused, it's like these noise glitches xD

something i really glad, the filesystem mounting problem seems to be gone, the one which the phone bootloops as it's shut down or restarted in a not proper way
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
I am using your Slimgapps, have tried bank's gapps too, no change. Maybe I'll try to switch back to dalvik later today. But I WANT art :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes ART gives me that problem too. You can also try BaNkS gapps with art, might work.
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
The 4.4.1 AOSP-build boots up fine every time. Whatever caused the boothangs with latest Slimkat, seems to be gone.
[Defy Android Development] fabiosarts:
there's another problem, i see in the battery charge, a max of 50%, but in the recovery, 80% :eek:

any updates on slimkat ?

:(

sorry to ask but i m dying to switch from slimbean 4.3.1 to slimkat 4.4
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I just finished compiling a new build 2 minutes ago, thanks to quarx's fixes for 4.4.1. I'll test it and upload later today
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
Sounds amazing :D

Gonna try it asa u upload it :D :victory:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
New build is uploaded on the second download link in the second post, upload to the first one will be done in around half an hour.

Android 4.4.1, Quarx's latest fixes, a bunch of additions from slimroms guys. Check out their new lockscreen options under security :) (ramdomizing keypad option appears after you select PIN unlock, theme/colour picker for the different elements of the lockscreen etc)
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
Yay :D [MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION]

the rom is of 150mb and gapps 15 mb

should i delete some things from the ROM ZIP like we had to delete in quarx's sir build or shall we flash it directly ?
[Defy Android Development] juried:
Flash as is, TJKV provides such that all fits. I am still downloading, so still have to try.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Here is a fix for the baseband chooser, just flash this on the 1.4 beta. Thanks to [MENTION=4806452]czechop[/MENTION] for the fix!

Remember, to access Defy parts you can add a shortcut on nova/apex homescreen for the defy settings/defy parts activity. I don't want to fork the settings app just to add this in when slimroms guys will probably add it themselves later. This should work on CM11 too, but not tested.
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
Thanks for The Rom. Its very fast using dalvik. Don't know why art slow down so much my phone. But I have an issue. The fmradio seems it's working, but the volume doesn't. Pressing the volume key doesn't do anything. The rest it's working very good. Even the battery drain normally (as in 4.3) if you know how to fix the volume, that would be great. I want to use the Rom for a while

Why don't you simply use SetVSel? I use it with the latest build (03.11) on my green lens and works faultless.

300/20, 600/36, 850/52 and 1150/65 ... and it's a safe set. I can go as low as 300/17 and 1150/62 but decided to stay on the safe side :)

Didn't work for me with the first install either. Try to flash a CM11 build, then flash SlimKat over (with wiping everything)... can't explain how, but it works for me having the CM11 installed before the SlimKat... nope, I don't know why. :)

In XDA the concept is to read the first few posts of every thread, they inevitably contain everything one might look for. In this case you'll find download links in the second post. Remember, always read all the posts by the OP (Original poster, in this case me) before posting.

[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
The Slimrom ROMs by [MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION] are unofficial builds, since he is not part of the Slimrom team, so you won't find his ROMs on the Slimrom website; he is single-handedly porting these ROMs to our Defy. Also, you found it confusing to browse through that link you posted, and probably spent time doing so, and you didn't spend the time to even read the 1st and/or 2nd post?

I never seem to understand people who do that...
[Defy Android Development] MysticRose:
I am so sorry for being so noob, i was just frustrated.. anyway...coming back to rom. i have flashed to my phone and using it.. I MUST SAY...This mod is absolutely butteryyy and i am completely in love with this. I was on quarx but this rom really owned me.. I have no words to say.. Thank you so much TJKV...! You are awsome !
[Defy Android Development] Stefano2991:
Because don't works, i need google play store but there is no. I tried to download gapps from slimkatcenter too (i don' remember if it call like this because i'm back to 2.3.6 :confused: ) but when i press download gapps it open a new white window and after 1/2 seconds it disappear and return to slimkatcenter. I don't konw if i'm doing or i understood something wrong about gapps. :silly:
[Defy Android Development] stirlitz99:
Yes, you must be understanding something falsely.

In the post above your post there is a link to TJKV's SlimKat folder... in there you find: minimal_Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.3.x.zip

This GAPPS work flawlessly.

[Defy Android Development] DrLamok:
Thanks for the review...

I'm still on SlimKat 1.4.. Work as charm since I put it on couple of months ago...

Bit worried to upgrade to the latest as some people reported random reboots... or not being able to charge battery when the phone is off...

Any comments on that?

Regards
[Defy Android Development] stirlitz99:
I had to check the charging as I never turn off the phone. Nope, it doesn't seem to be charging when off.

If it's off and you connect the charger, it turns on. If you connect the charger when the phone is on then you turn it off, it doesn't seem to be charging as the charging animation doesn't appear neither the LED lits.

Putting it to airplane mode solves the problem if you don't want to be online.

No reboots for me, but I have to admit I really use the phone to what a phone is for. Talking, sending text, Viber, Messenger, FB and some SW Collection.. so no nonstop playing for me.

Some more battery info with my overclocked settings. Yesterday I had 20 hrs and a bit on the battery, but I talked for a bit more than 3hrs, used the GPS for 4hrs (not a navigator program, but the GPS was turned on)... so SlimKat is fine on the battery.

A couple of things I forgot:

GPS... it needs about 4-5 minutes to fix the position, but it's 2/3 of the time for me compared to the JB.

TJKV, just found a bug. I have a SIM code and if I don't put the SIM pin in as it appears on the screen and it goes off... it never comes back. So need to take the battery out and reboot.
[Defy Android Development] anupam_aug15:
I am trying to install GAPPs on latest build but they fail to install. I have used the oneyouhave mentioned. Whats wrong.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
If anyone is wondering what this ROM can do, here you go (mum's usage):

Phone feels absolutely smooth with nearly 4 days uptime, 2 days since unplugged, 162mb unused ram.

Granted she doesn't use it as much as most people here, no mobile data etc but still makes one wonder...

This is an older build, updating it soon (Slim will release next stable soon)

A word on what "Stable" means...in the case of this ROM stable means the features added by Slim is stable, not necessarily the whole ROM by itself. For that, Quarx needs to label his device tree as stable too. Now don't go asking him when that will happen, honestly I'd prefer it remain a work in progress for as long as possible, like the last four years :)
[Defy Android Development] DrLamok:
updated from 1.4 to 3.8..

updated from 1.4 to 3.8 (clean install with safewipe).. everything went fine...

so far no problems... will report if i run into any problems...

bp_ptc (soft sim unlock) should be included by default in my opinion

Thank You!!!

update #1:

- after 7 hours on 3.8, battery charge indicator started playing up. no reading on the status bar at the top, and 100% charge in battery stats. :confused: , rebooting gave me only black screen, had to take out battery. When it started up battery stats started showing correct? value of 71%
[Defy Android Development] Casteleugim:
Hi, same happens to my. Yesterday my defy work 3hs without changing its battery status, all time show 100%. After reboot several times suddenly defy show a battery status down.

That don't worries my, I sure that slim team and TJKV will fix this.

this ROM is anyway the best option to my defy.

You did everything just as TJKV wrote in the first post?

- Install TWRP 2.6.3.0

- Wipe cache, dalvik, data and SYSTEM (you have to go to Advanced in the Wipe menu to be able to wipe the system)

- install ROM

- install GAPPS

- Reboot

This must work... :good:

Build 3.85 uploaded. Short description: InCallUI patches to reduce screen turn on time on incoming call, thanks to [MENTION=5721362]htto[/MENTION]. Quarx might have fixed the battery problem too, test it out.

The gapps I have provided works fine, I have tested everything this build. This is the first of my builds with the new Slim Recents that I have tested myself, have to say it is much faster than AOSP recents. Lucky you guys :)
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Just noticed this - selecting the low memory option vastly improved performance, in contrast to CM11 and Omni.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Low memory option comes on by default on Build 3.85, not sure why Aero Control says it is off though. I asume that is where you turned it on?

Let's discuss here :p

Okay if you want to build it yourself let me just update the local manifest. Nothing other than that to keep in mind afaik, just the usual "source build/e* && lunch && make bacon" after that.

And yes I didn't commit because no one had commented on CM11 how/if it works :p But it worked well so I uploaded the build. So local changes I have made are just your second update and the settings repo commenting.
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
I first turned it off using the build.prop entry and then enabled it using aero control. I found that the snappiness of the ROM went away when I disabled it (or it is just me?).

I'm not sure if quarx fixed the battery thing yet, on every reboot my phone shows a different battery percentage.

Other than that, everything's running nicely, no bugs I could notice other than the already known ones.

Installed 3.85 today, but had to get back to 3.8 because battery percentage was shown permanently as 100%. Wiping battery stats, cache and dalvik without success. In TWRP it was shown correcty. Now back to 3.8 and percentage is ok. Just wanted to tell in case of nit being the only guy with this problem.

Eheh no problem. My zip is around 121MB :D Though it took me quite some time to figure that out. Plus the tweaks needed to get the build to build under openjdk7. Anyway, now it's installed... interesting. Bit lower RAM usage than with Quarx' CM11. Some packages seem to be older, as the system didn't want to downgrade the sqlite databases. Yahyah should've wiped /data, though me is lazy :D

Still DashClock won't work for me, and you'll probably hit that as well, since the hdpi drawables aren't all there:

03-24 22:05:14.601 E/AndroidRuntime( 2798): Caused by: android.content.res.Resources$NotFoundException: Resource ID #0x7f020049

that resource is: public static final int white_item_pressed=0x7f020049;

Seems like only xhdpi is complete?

And the undobar pngs seem only to be available for xhdpi and xxhdpi drawables. That will probably also fail

EDIT:

Adding

LOCAL_AAPT_INCLUDE_ALL_RESOURCES := true

to

packages/apps/DashClock/Android.mk

does workaround the issue for now.
[Defy Android Development] no_means_no:
Ok. Got back to 3.8 where battery was shown correctly. Flashed 3.85 again and percentage was shown as 18%, but stuck there. So as I'm obviously the only one with this problem, I'm happy again with 3.8 and skip this one...

[Defy Android Development] Casteleugim:
You are not the only one with this problem. I have the same too, but I have same problem in 3.8.

Today I restart my Defy several times and the battery report Ok values reasonable battery consummation. The only thing is that I installed the 3.85 two days ago.

I don't know what algorithm in used but may be need time to auto adjust.

[Defy Android Development] Stoku:
I'm using build 3.8 and it's very stable, fast and even doesn't need overclocking. Before I had some issues with ART runtime (got frozen screen etc), so I recommend using Dalvik, which seems to be faster than ART in many cases (that's how I'm feeling) and

stable

.

The only bugs I found are:

- advanced reboot/reboot from power menu sometimes (or always?) doesn't work (have to reinsert battery to boot my moto<3), just noticed it in CM11 known issues post

- interface>notification>background style>transparency setting doesn't apply on boot (the setting is stored, but to take effect I have to change it).

^ according to 2nd bug, the similar, "tiles background transparency" works fine after reboot.

- DSP manager sometimes crashes when connecting phone as USB mass storage (described here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2690616)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Just to be clear - did you:

1. Remove/comment the line "$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/full_base_telephony.mk)" in the mb526 device tree slim.mk

or did you:

2. just comment out the line "PRODUCT_AAPT_CONFIG := normal hdpi xhdpi xxhdpi" in /build/target/product/full_base.mk?

If you did the first one, aren't you missing some important stuff in the build, like the things in /build/target/product/telephony.mk?
[Defy Android Development] htto:

device/moto/mb526/slim.mk:#$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/full_base_telephony.mk)

That is, I removed the inherit of full_base.mk, but the telephony.mk is included through device.mk. Though actually I've no real clue which of those mks to edit. Because there's build/ device/ and vendor/ which make me wonder, if there actually is a standardized way of configuring.

Mh I'm at least missing:

system/app/WAPPushManager.apk

system/lib/drm/libfwdlockengine.so

system/lib/libsrec_jni.so

Is anyone experiencing sudden call drops?

I'm on plain setup, Dalvik, 3.85, gapps from here, etc, this being happening since early versions.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Huh... Looks like it's a real web of inherits. Yeah it should be a lot more organised. I'll have a look at the nexus 5 repos and see how it is organised and what calls what etc, maybe clean it up.

Will check out device.mk too...

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Yh it looks like it because of full build being commented out ---> https://github.com/tejus/android_build/blob/slim4.4/target/product/full_base.mk

About configuring from my experience there isn't so much a standard way. You can make the reference anywhere really but there is a order in it which some files are called in so some things need to go it certain places.

Yh I remember I had some difficulty also with this as well when I removed full_base I can't remember how I fixed if I do I will update.

Edit - Could you upload device.mk from common folder and slim.mk from the mb526 folder
[Defy Android Development] htto:
Yeah, I used the make option '-d'... that's a hell lot of parsed .mk files. Plus it really differs much to Quarx' build. Anyway I hate that build chain google set up.

device.mk

slim.mk

EDIT:

It wouldn't be a problem at all, if the settings in device.mk would override the current variables, which itt doesn't seem to. I tried to use $(info $(var)) there, to look what's happening, but that screwed my prompt, my env, gave me a python error with filename too long and last but not least broke the toolchain. So better not try that :)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yeah, for eg in device.mk the locales bit from Q:

# Should be after the full_base include, which loads languages_full
PRODUCT_LOCALES := en_US en_GB en_IN fr_FR it_IT de_DE es_ES hu_HU uk_UA zh_CN zh_TW ru_RU nl_NL se_SV cs_CZ pl_PL pt_BR da_DK ko_KR el_GR ro_RO iw_IL ar_EG

needs full_base before that, or at least this:

$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/locales_full.mk)
[Defy Android Development] htto:
Ok, so now I moved

$(call inherit-product, $(SRC_TARGET_DIR)/product/full_base_telephony.mk)

from mb526/slim.mk to the top of jordan-common/device.mk

At least the build config looks sane:

slim_mb526-userdebug-{en_US,en_GB,en_IN,fr_FR,it_IT,de_DE,es_ES,hu_HU,uk_UA,zh_CN,zh_TW,ru_RU,nl_NL,se_SV,cs_CZ,pl_PL,pt_BR,da_DK,ko_KR,el_GR,ro_RO,iw_IL,ar_EG,hdpi,nodpi hdpi}

Let's see what the result will be :fingers-crossed

EDIT

Yay, the worky... I'm just missing

system/lib/libsrec_jni.so

though I don't care about srec anyway.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yeah srec isn't even included in the build after passing through the squisher afaik, so that should be okay for all :p
[Defy Android Development] htto:
Yeah, but only

# No need for srec
rm -rf $REPACK/ota/system/usr/srec

is done. Well, I'm going to project-removeit :D

Btw. I added

rm -f $REPACK/ota/system/core/adb/transport_local.P

to squisher, since it's plain text header file. Probably the transport_local.o in the same directory isn't needed as well
