Just recorded a 40 second long video at 720p with encoder set to MPEG4; it worked fine, although while trying to play it back through default gallery I got a "can't play this video" error, but only once. I tried again, and several times more and it played back fine. Aside from that everything else is fine too.

What camera module does your phone have?

@TJKV

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I was under the impression that, according to the SlimKat beta 2.4 weekly changelog...

Fix force permanent menu button

...would disable the software menu button that is being forced for some phones (including the Defy), but for some reason I can't get rid of it.

I don't see why it should be permanently there taking up space, considering we have hardware navigation buttons.

I already tried setting "qemu.hw.mainkeys=1" in build.prop, so this has got to be set permanently somewhere else. Is there any simple way to disable this?

Also, I can't seem to find the "Chamber of secrets"... it does not appear under the slim shortcuts.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I think that's to do with the nav bar, not hardware keys. Slim guys haven't added any of their additional features related to hardware keys yet, like rebinding etc.

And chamber of secrets needs to be opened first. Hint: Look not as a user, go deep, check in the dark ;)
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Lol, I found it! ;) Don't see how I missed it before since I frequently roam those dark sections, and believe it or not, I saw something similar on the previous ROM I was on.

Is there anything we can do to make the screen recording work?

Here is the error I get when trying this feature:

Main display is 480x854 @68.00fps (orientation=0)
Configuring recorder for 480x854 video at 4.00Mbps
ERROR: unable to configure codec (err=-2147483648)
WARNING: failed at 480x854, retrying at 720x1280
Configuring recorder for 720x1280 video at 4.00Mbp
ERROR: unable to configure codec (err=-2147483648)

Tried to change resolution, bitrate... Get the same error.

Btw -2147483648 is the Integer.MIN_VALUE in Java, but dunno what to do with this fact :cowboy: Maybe the codec is missing altogether?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Most devices don't have screen recording working as far as I know, so don't expect it anytime soon. Probably a codec thing but I have no clue. Slim devs haven't added a "screen record" quick tile because of this, only the nexus devices and a few other devices have it working fine I think.

Chamber of Secrets

[MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION]V HI,

I enabled Chamber of secrets, now how to use it? I checked the link you posted but still couldn't use it..do you have any link?
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
I've been trying to add custom toggles, but unless I'm doing something wrong, something seems to be broken. None of the toggles I have tried do anything at all. For now I'm only interested in one to show the CPU usage overlay, which is "show_processes" with a value of "1". This shouldn't have to be done with values since it is a valid checkbox in Developer Options, I assume, but it doesn't work in neither way.

Of course I checked with other strings, such as "wifi_on", and none seem to be working. Have they worked for you?
[Defy Android Development] mGforCe:
NO, That's why I thought I am doing something wrong. Thanks for the confirmation.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Sorry guys, chamber of secrets works perfectly fine on my Defy. I tested by making a "GPS toggle" that switches string "location_mode" between 3 (GPS on network location on) and 2 (gps off network on). You'll have to look into the settings.java to see if you are entering the correct string and the correct values. Ofc this being hidden within developer options means it isn't a normal user function, and it can be quite dangerous if you mess it up. So apart from being careful also please keep in mind it is a bit of an 'unsupported" function.

That said if you find a VALID string in settings.java in frameworks base and you find that entering SUPPORTED vallues still doesn't work then let me know exactly what you did and I will test it on my nexus. if I can reproduce it on the nexus too then I will pass on a word to the dev who made this feature to look into it.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Oh and currently building build 2.5 that is labelled as Release Candidate 1 by slim team ^_^

FM radio fully fixed, many slim side fixes and additions including hardware button reassignment i believe.

As usual slimroms.net for slim side commits, quarx's cm11 thread for his changelog, my github for mine.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Well, like I said, "show_processes" and "wifi_on" are valid strings with values 0 and 1, and yet nothing happened. I even double checked through the Settings Storage "settings.db" file, and I can see the strings with the corresponding values change when toggling these manually through Settings.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
From a cursory look through frameworks/base/core/java/android/provider/settings.java, those two come under "deprecated" strings and apparently moved elsewhere. But I'll ask someone if anything can be done for these...if this can be extended to include these now "global" settings.
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
You're right:

MOVED_TO_SECURE.add(Secure.WIFI_ON);
MOVED_TO_GLOBAL.add(Settings.Global.SHOW_PROCESSES);

And the "Global" and "Secure" tables aren't included in the CoS; well, at least now we know to check which strings have been moved and which ones can be used.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Well I've asked the dev if he can look into it, let's see. BTW for the CPU usage, it should be "show_processes" according to settings.java, not "show_process". Just in case it can be added later ;)
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Wow, typo in both my posts, lol. Yeah, but rest assured I wrote it right when configuring the toggle on my phone, I was just in a hurry writing these posts.
[Defy Android Development] Jubakuba:
Well here's the issue here.

Since it's linked there...but depreciated...

It will come up as an acceptable input for that table.

AKA even if I add a Global table it will not work as it will still get caught in the other table.

I'll try to come up with a solution, but no promises.

I also have a major project idea that I plan on starting as well so this might end up taking the back burner.

Sorry =/

Edit:

Thought about it some more...came up with a potential solution...but I'm not sure that I like it.

I can try to force a setting change to check if it's a valid value as well...

Which will return true/false if it works. Issue with this being...even if I set the setting and then immediately revert the value back to the user option...

It may not be wise. I'll try to think of something this can break and if I can't...I'll write it out.

[Defy Android Development] grandpa2007:

[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes slimroms always use lower dpi on all devices to make stuff smaller, since SlimICS time I think. You can increase it to default before flashing no problem.

There shouldn't be any other problem, I think hw keys was the only buggy bit. Anyway proper release with all recent commits will come when slim releases next build, this was just to test. But that doesn't mean you can't use this build till then :)
[Defy Android Development] grandpa2007:
The New Version works fine,thx

Gesendet von meinem MB526 mit Tapatalk 2
[Defy Android Development] erdnuesse:
In order to get things smaller, you need higher dpi. Example: 100p on 100dpi eqals an inch. If you double the dpi, the 100p become half an inch, so "stuff gets smaller".

So there must be something wrong said, even though I am sure you were thinking it right. :cool:

[Defy Android Development] grandpa2007:
hi,can you upload the file again please ? in the german board android-hilfe.de interest exists according to your rom...
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Try first and then talk ;)

Lower value here makes things smaller. It isn't actually dpi, people just call it that including the slim team, so yeah :p

It's better to wait for next build, this was just to test. Also I'm busy right now and cannot upload, so if someone who has already downloaded wants they can share wherever...
[Defy Android Development] ldiomedi:
Mediafire link for download SK-2.5-RC1..
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
If you have an image 200 pixels tall on a 200 dpi screen (=1 inch), that same image would be 100 pixels tall on a 100 dpi screen (=1 inch).

If you declare 100 dpi screen as 200 dpi, you would get 200 pixels tall image on a 100 dpi screen (=2 inch), thus image apearing 2x larger.
[Defy Android Development] erdnuesse:
An image would not change its size because of a screen size nor a sceen dpi, it must get scaled but nevermind, what i got is that the setting is really based on scaling, which is the good thing to know.

You have reached the end of the internet.
[Defy Android Development] Sublimis:
Sure we're talking about UI elements, which are scaled automatically based on the screen dpi. If an image is always drawn with the size of 200 pixels (bad app design), it will always be of the same real (inch) size on the same device, regardless of choosing 100, 213 or 240 for the screen dpi; screen itself has not changed physically.

Hi,

i installed the ROM today

1. Install TWRP

2. Install ROM

3. Install GAPPS

Everything worked fine

But my first problem: i can't setup an APN for my Provider (T-Mobile DE)

Normally the APN is set automatically - but this didn't happen

when i want to set it up manually it won't save the settings :(

What can i do?

## edit ##

found a workaround?

1. Setup an APN with your settings and save - nothing will be in the APN List

2. Reboot

3. Reset APN Settings to "Standard" - still nothing

4. Reboot

5. OEM Settings appeared out of nowhere :) now it works

Perhaps this can help somebody sometime :)

And please - for security reasons - deactivate DATA-Roaming OOTB ... could be expensive for some users ;)

Battery lasts for 2 days at least :D
