This is the post I was talking about. https://plus.google.com/112105199234363320140/posts/5piWpEcP4Gq

I re-read the greenify support of ART post (obv. the experimental xposed module!) and apparently I was too tired to properly understand it.

If I want to use xposed, which I do, I have to stay with dalvik for now. So maybe these qualcom optimized libs would be a nice stepping stone towards ART with improved performance. Are they already included in SlimKat? If there is a noticeable performance gain, hence improving battery, it would definitely make sense to include those libs for the jfltexx build of SlimKat! :D

What recovery do you use?

Lol, I'll try philz.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I moved away from TWRP since the last updates.

The TWRP 2.6.x release was very buggy in the beginning, now the same is happening with the TWRP 2.7.x releases (at least on the S4).

I lost faith in the quality of TWRP, specially after finding that the aren't tested on the S4 before releasing (the developers don't have an S4 to test on) and moved to PhiZ recovery, that's development and tested on the S4.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
TWRP was really good... on the EVO 3D! Then... things went downhill for all the other devices I had.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] wonsky21:
So... What can you say about Philz recovery? I used it som time ago, but then there was some troubles with flashing some zips (some old script or something issue), but it was about 3-4 months ago...

GT-I9505 | SlimBean 4.4.2 WEEKLY 3.4
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
I used to use CWM or modified CWM (Stratosk's Semaphore kernel has modified CWM e.g.) and for S4 I choose TWRP as the display is large enough and it will be fun to have everything prepared for touch, but then I failed during initial flash of ANY TWRP version (it was 2.6 if I remember well), I also tried Philz and still no success so I get the latest CWM (classic version) and things were working for the first try :)

CWM FTW - and I think CWM is maybe not that nice looking and someone might feel lost, but for me it is very stable recovery and after the years I know to operate it very fast using buttons (I first started with some early 2.x.x.x version)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I flashed both SlimKat and Alucard kernel zip's without any problem.

Thats about the only thing I use recovery for. I use ZipInstaller to select and send the zips to recovery and "online nandroid" with my own Tasker script to make scheduled nandroids and handle backup retention.

---------- Post added at 11:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:53 AM ----------

I always flash the recovery.img with SGS4 Flasher, never had any problem flashing TWRP or PhilZ. And the nice thing is you can flash a recoveywithout having to boot into recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
That is exactly the way I do it - it is the most easiest way to flash recovery as well as CF autoroot the easiest way to root :) (shame is we don't have pre-rooted kernels on S4 - and even more - Semafore kernel for SGS1 is prerooted and includes advanced CWM .... and has 2 versions - one for Odin for initial instalation e.g. and one to be flahsed via recovery)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
Whenever i was flashing Slim roms or any other aosp i always used CWM. But the usb sideload function and mass storage support was broken, never worked for me. So i tried TWRP

1+ on that, I heard that the recovery is okay about flashing any newer zips, you just have to untick an option somewhere regarding the new binaries.

I always returned to CWM, but the adb sideload and mass storage functions didnt work, any thoughts on that?

Any of you guys use/have a preference to an app for lockscreen notifications?

Loving this ROM and only thing I miss is the stock KitKat notifications. Tried NiLS and the cLock extension, but not keen on either (Can't tap the Notification to open the app on NiLS for a start)

Any Recomendations? Can the stock one be flashed?

:good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Chrisuk80:
It's a weird one, I'm sure it worked fine in the beginning, I'll try both ways, I think I may of wiped the app already but I'll try again n

Have done both and i still have the issue, strange, it's always something haha, never quite

Holding down the home button to get recents, always ended up in System vendor UI crash, Also had a lot of random reboots. And error when installing some apps in google playstore. "Package invalid" error 24 and so on.

Have reverted back to 3.6 for the time being.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
yeah, i didnt even know it existed until you asked for it, and i went to see if it's there, lol

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:03 PM ----------

Hm, I use "doubletap menu" for recents, much faster imho and you dont need to abuse the home button :P. It's one of the features i appreciate the most. No random reboots here so far, try alucard aosp kernel, works perfect. Regarding playstore, try wiping data of google play services and google play, if that doesnt work try reflashing gapps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] corb06:
Yeah the error in playstore got resolved by flashing a normal AOSP gapps instead of SLim AIO.

Im on KT kernel 19th march, havent tried alucard since february...

But everything seems to be working just fine on 3.6. Dont know what changed in 3.8...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
Well if you try alucard, you wont be dissapointed. 3.8 works great btw.

Thanks for 2.8 I flash after 3 days with dirty flash over 2.6 and run smooth and with Stock Kernel no reboots, nice

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
Ok, so the Camera FC is not caused by the recovery, it was my fault. For a long time I had a Label in Titanium backup that i keep for uninstalling unneeded stock apps. Such as news&weather...etc. So I flashed slimgapps again, deleted aosp keyboard(mind that i left others installed) and the problem came back. I've never had this problem on any rom for the last 2 years of dealing with AOSP roms as i've always used the same list and this kind of a problem has never occurred. I'ts not a big deal, but im just putting it out there for anyone that might be searching for an answer. Guess i'll just have to freeze them.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Jsilver73:
heads up for Alucard users

New kernel released 2.6.4c - I didn't think you could improve on perfection but Alucard seems to prove you can! ;)

Hi [MENTION=5047159]Tylog[/MENTION] again few I think good ideas for the new recents to stick with current kitkat practices:

1) add a option to set default expanded or collapsed state of the entries in slim recents

2) instead of the arrow use the same principles as for the notifications in notification bar - expand by swipe down, collapse by swipe down and up

At least for me these ideas are logical and will allow to keep the practices constant across the system.

Thanks again :)

I am using Slimkat on my Nexus 7 for a few weeks now. Before I was using other ROMs which had an Auto Updater for their Nightlies.

Maybe you could ask if you can use Chainfires Updater Framework, for your weeklies? :cool:

If someone asks me what ROM he should use, I would recommend Slimkat. :D

But updating is not very Noob friendly! :banghead:

On my S4 I have never used any thing else. :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
Auto updating can cause more issues, like bootlops etc. This way if you follow the instructions, nothing can go wrong. Like some OTA use ORS(open recovery script) which only philz and TWRP(i think) support, so you would have to change your recovery for that. The only thing here to do is read the instructions. Why is that so hard? :). Im using flashify app+philz recovery to kinda simulate an OTA update, just so i dont have to press any buttons in recovery. Maybe in the future, who knows.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
Auto update Never failed on me.

I got a Titanium Backup, if it fails, I can easily restore my devices with a zip.

But it makes things easier.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I'm a big fan of zipinstaller myself, based on patterns it loads the ROM and kernel zip and adds the to the flash list. And like your solution no need to touch a button in recovery.

Makes updating the ROM so easy.

Bluetooth Rsap

Hello,

I used Slimroms for nearly a year with no problems.

But in my car with the rsap protocol (uses the car antennam, much better reception) it doesn't work. The Samsung roms work with no problems (also with no app).

Slimcat also with with the rsap app from playstore doesn't work.

Is there a solution?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:

About the BT issues.

I just got my S4 and have issues with my BT connection to my carkit.

I had an S3 before this with Temasek's CM11 kang and had exactly the same issues with the carkit.

I then followed this trick to fix it: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/cm10-solved-bluetooth-audio-streaming-t2038273

You simply had to replace one file by another and all issues were solved.

Now I'm wondering, would this also work with the S4? I have no clue what those files do exactly and offcourse the S4 has totally different hardware?

I posted this question there. Follow that thread and maybe you'll find a solution for your BT troubles

The for the KERNEL: I wanted to flash alucard kernel as everbody seems to recommend that one.

This is my first ever custom rom on my s4.

I had rooted first and then flashed 3.8

I had no root afterwards and had to flash cf autoroot again.

Now I was about to flash alucard to see if that would help for the occasional freeze/reboot. But that means i'll always need to flash root again? And when 3.9 arrives i need to flash the update, kernel and finally root again?

I need to disable Trickster at boot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
Cant help with zram but fast charge is standard thing in both kt and alucard kernels ... Why is zram so important to you? I think it is useless with 2 gigs of ram

Btw trickster mod app is compatible with trickster mod kernel and i dont think this kernel is available for i9505

I searched this i9505 forum for trickster mod and it is not here .... So you are forcing your phone to do things the phone dont know .... Uninstal trickster will fix your issues
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Default? How can I turn it on and off? Just switching the MTP option for the sdcard?

I mean, I'm sure that when Windows is seeing the sdcard (USB connection) the charge is very slow.

Well, I just thought that it will help performance. Seems I wrong by your comment.

Are you saying Trickster is not compatible with Slim kernel (KT)? If so, I will just uninstall it. I only kept it for fast charging...

zram was removed from both KT and alucard because it's useless on the S4.

It will only make the phone slower and it will use more battery.
