Whenever i press power button to wake up screen, it takes some time in 2.4... Is there any way to speed it up?
[Nexus S Android Development] asmOne:
i saw miss call and message notification on toolbar in v2.3

but 2.4 toolbar is auto hide.
[Nexus S Android Development] Faizi Ch:
On status bar?
[Nexus S Android Development] asmOne:
ya status bar

I have problem with some touch buttons.

Some buttons on screen dont work.

With previous rom slimbean works fine
[Nexus S Android Development] Faizi Ch:
I don't know, but mine isn't auto hide, I receive notifications on status bar in lock screen... Only problem which I facing is that it takes some time to wake up screen when I press power button whereas it works fine in locking.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
Hi [MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION], thanks for this update.

I've been run this 2.4 SlimKat version for a couple of days, it runs so smooth, this version is the smoother version I thought.

But, one question. Where can I enable kill all button in Recent Menu.

Thx
[Nexus S Android Development] tchaari:
The team decided to drop that feature. It is not helpful at all knowing how android memory management is designed. We are thinking about keeping long press on back button to kill though
[Nexus S Android Development] giorgos3924:
i have a dead space on digitizer at the middle of screen, like faulty digitizer. but this happened when i flash slimkat
[Nexus S Android Development] asmOne:
it's must a program using ram memory.

how to disable status bar auto hiding option.? :(
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
[MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION]: OK thanks, it would be great if slimrom team can add long press on back button to kill. Or is it already exist in 2.4 ? where can I enable it?

Btw, I love how you guys theme this SlimKat Rom with black & white, such as status bar, pop up message, progress bar, etc.

Thanks..
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
There is no customisation for hardware keys at the moment. But if really miss it badly U can make your self a navbar with kill button :p
[Nexus S Android Development] giorgos3924:
how about this?

if we division the screen in 10 imagine lines we will take 10 imagine rectangular spaces.

the 5th rectangular doesn't work! at the middle of screen. like faulty area on digitizer! but this happened when i flashed the slimkat build 2.3
[Nexus S Android Development] Faizi Ch:
Fixed... It was kernel issue...
[Nexus S Android Development] giorgos3924:
somebody help me? :(
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Did you clean install?.. Does it work on other roms?.. Try another rom, or Slim version and see if it's fixed..
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
I'll miss the button... :(
[Nexus S Android Development] giorgos3924:
Yes! Clean install full wipe! format system, format data, format cache etc...

My Phone Work fine with all other roms and with slimbean worked fine too.

kitkat its better but with slimkat i have this problem!

i will try slimbean again or CM. to check it!
[Nexus S Android Development] ohitspat:
[MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION] could you input these APN settings into the next build? Previous builds don't have data connection/MMS for me. I'm on Rogers in Canada
[Nexus S Android Development] giorgos3924:
same problem with slimbean now! why?

maybe its from recovery??

This is my problem

SAME HERE:

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM!!!

The digitizer for nexus s its with LCD? solid? or its two parts?

can i buy only digitizer from ebay?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
I don't think it's the place for such question. Personally I don't think it is possible to separate those two without damaging LCD. I tried on other phones with led and it didn't work. But LCD is more solid than led. And it's older phone so who knows.
[Nexus S Android Development] giorgos3924:
it is worth to fix it or buy new phone?

on ebay i need 45 - 55 gbp for digitizer! :(

Got the same problem but on the lower part of my screen but this is not the place for such questions

dear Slim team what about beta 2.5 with..

ListView animations

Multi window

dash clock sms and miss call notifications enable

status bar auto hide unable and disable option

beta 2.3 battery life is great and replace 2.3 voltage method.

---------- Post added at 02:08 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:04 AM ----------

didn't you calibrate touch screen..?
[Nexus S Android Development] orky87:
Well Slim Team consider this!

Once the RAM bar is activated, you can easily find out how efficiently the ROM is running.

By killing/clearing everything you are able to see what absolute minimum the ROM is using.

This is a good way to monitor apps that may become RAM hogs by knowing how much the minimum has increased.

You can monitor how each app behaves after each install using this method it's quick and efficient and keeps you informed.

It is also a great way to keep an eye on development progress and optimization implementations after each update cycle.

SlimBean 4.3.1 (Build 2.2) is very light on resources here's an example below of Vanilla flash no gapps and this was the absolute minimum I could achieve = 49MB which is awesome.

Without the clear recent toggle and RAM bar this would be impossible and impractical.

It should be an option if user want it and I vote for it to exist for those who require it and make use of it.

Android management = 110-145MB vs User management = 50MB! Go figure..!
[Nexus S Android Development] giorgos3924:

Thanks [MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION]..
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Running the RC1.. WOW!!!.. great work on this!..

btw, I noticed that it says the kernel is CM, the version looks like CM, but it has the memory and io/governor of Devil.. Is this an updated Devil kernel?
[Nexus S Android Development] skinner12:
How is 2.5 speed against 2.4? Much better?
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Sorry, I skipped 2.4... But the speed is good, with no tweaks it is nearly as fast as other ROMs when tweaked..
[Nexus S Android Development] Zeratul91:
It's not devil, lacks selinux, liveoc, voltage control ecc... If I'm not wrong it's a Marmite one ;).

BTW with devil (no compatibility patches) it's faster to me :thumbup:

[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Devil is very marginally faster, mainly on i/o... But it definately feels faster, since apps are quicker.. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] asmOne:
has anyone updated 2.5?

any bug??
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
no 2.5... It's Rc1... no problems yet..
[Nexus S Android Development] orky87:
What are you comparing it to, which other ROMs?

It runs like a dog at 180MB -190MB with no Gapps and with 14 services disabled. I wish I could call it good but it's far from it, I'm staying with 4.3.1 build 2 by far the quickest.

Kikat is bloated and unfunctional in many ways compared to previous stable builds. I believe the peek has been reached with Slimroms, Slimkat is a downgrade IMHO.
[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
It is a custom kernel... cm base and various cherry picks from marmite and devil
[Nexus S Android Development] tchaari:
That's your opinion :)

My crespo was never as fast and as snappy as on Slimkat. We are also adding features that was never present before. Ah and we also did big code cleanup and resource optimizations under the hood. I am really happy with it and we are working hard to make it even better each week.
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
Flashed it last night, and it seems to work pretty well so far. Thanks for the great work !
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
KitKat roms don't have all the customisations, though, this isn't a bad thing for me.. I would still say they are very functional.. Sorry you had a bad flash... Or maybe I just need to try a few more ROMs.. Lol ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] Flukzr:
I've recently switched to SlimKat after CM11 started freezing up randomly for 10-30 seconds at a time and then went back to normal.

So far I'm liking the smoothness which is on par with CM and much better than any rom before it since GB/ICS after more than 2 weeks usage.
[Nexus S Android Development] tchaari:
If you do a full wipe, you will find that slimkat is smoother than CM. The lags that are you describing come surely from an incompatibility between CM hwcompser and aosp one.
[Nexus S Android Development] Flukzr:
I always do a full wipe when switching roms
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
If I'm not wrong.. I think he was referring to CM lags, not Slim..
[Nexus S Android Development] Flukzr:
That didn't work either. I did 3 full wipes and didn't help
[Nexus S Android Development] VerminX:
What a great ROM, thanks a million for inclusion of the configurable hardware buttons. Finally I got my quick switch to last app and kill app for some of them pesky apps.

Great work!

Thank you

BTW I find the kernel which it comes with as the most stable. Devil kernel was giving me reboots.
[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
You are having these lags on slimkat? I will try and investigate do the lags occur in any kind of repeatable manor? Have you made any changes to the rom after installing? Changing kernels? adding exposed framework? adding some other kind of tweaks?
[Nexus S Android Development] Flukzr:
Slimkat is lag-free so far.

The freezes occurred at random, either after waking the phone, running some light games or apps. It would slow down at first and then even the capacitive buttons wouldn't vibrate for 10-30 seconds, after which it would be as smooth as before.

Might be unrelated but I was unable to OC the cpu to 1200 (would reboot after a while) but now running slimkat it hasn't rebooted even though it's OC-ed at 1200mhz for the last 36 hours.

At first I thought cm froze because of high CPU usage, but I enabled "show CPU usage" in developer and the cpu was not 100% under load.

After which I assumed the phone was defective but I swithched and it's been ok ever since.
[Nexus S Android Development] encinocr:
is the energy-widget no longer available under SlimKat?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Why not? It's still here. Don't have Crespo near to check but I have it on Hammerhead so it should be there to.
[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
I looked at your awesome chart of roms and all and was curious was the slimkat in that chart 2.5 rc1? If not could you drop a note in here whenever you redo your stats for rc1 I am curious how slimkat measures up on this recent build
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
The chart is current, but I didn't give it a rc1 title since it is still a weekly...
[Nexus S Android Development] orky87:
tchaari,

I've never implied that this is somehow Slimroms fault, I've simply given feedback on KitKat which SlimKat is based on.

It seems like KitKat is getting in the way of Slimroms tradition where features and tweaks are of users disposals. Hence my thoughts (thanks Google) why Slimroms have reached their peek.

On performance the UI is fast yes, and smooth but the same can't be said on how the ROM executes and runs apps which is severely laggy.

Idle is also resource heavy, yet KitKat was all about improving low-end devices which it has failed at this present moment. Not to mention flash player, almost unusable and requires bloatware like Dolphin to partially work. This is why SlimKat/KitKat appears to be a downgrade compared to previous builds.

Nothing personal! ;)

PS: I've been on-board ever since SlimICS! I know my Slim Rom's...
[Nexus S Android Development] LibertyMonger:
I wouldn't pay any attention to this dude, (bloated and unfunctional) it appears he likes to see or hear himself talk. His post count and thanks count is not very impressive and KitKat is just now getting started!
[Nexus S Android Development] coluichepensa:
Can someone suggest a good solution/ kernel that allow me to use the blinking function?

Many thanks

Hi [MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION], It has been 6 days I've run SlimKat v2.5 RC1. And I have loaded all my daily apps, including Xposed (8 modules active) & tasker (12 profiles).

But this great Rom still good in performance & the smoothness... I really impressed.:thumbup::thumbup:

I Can't wait for the next build. :D

But the same as with above question, where can I enable BLN? I already enabled it in devil tools but still not works.

Anyway thanks for this great build.

[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
BLN is not working properly in RC1 or RC2. Please try flashing the attached file and let me know if it fixes BLN.

Easiest client to use to set BLN is BLN control FREE from playstore though nstools and deviltools work equally well.
[Nexus S Android Development] orky87:
There's a small glitch with caller dial pad. I can recreate it over and over again as long as it's flushed from recent task menu. Once loaded it works every time.

Caller -> Dial pad = nothing, just an empty space.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
Thanks [MENTION=2781850]adm1jtg[/MENTION], it works for me, but not blinking.
[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
Correct... blinking code was removed as it proved to be very unstable and a HUGE battery drain... This was done back in 4.3
[Nexus S Android Development] khimois:
Thanks! Will try this...

------------------------------------------------------

BTW, am I the only one experiencing random malfunctioning of capacitive back button and touch screen? I mean, sometimes the back button is not working while playing apps and the touch screen won't function until you lock and unlock your phone?
[Nexus S Android Development] asmOne:
has anyone tried RC2 and any bug?
[Nexus S Android Development] puya.crisan:
yupp!

working good mate! no bugs found. a little laggy on first startup but than is smooth like previous versions. all my apps working on art, no lack of ram .I have enabled thanks to Tchhari the "ok google' feature, i am waiting for BLN and maybe a transparent status bar.
[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
Bln is working with the patch I posted earlier
[Nexus S Android Development] tricampeao23:
Someone help me please?

I would like to install this ROM, but I don't understand the step of "mount system" or something like that...

Someone write all the steps, please? Thanks! :)
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
There are no special or weird steps.

Do the following things:

Format cache. Format Dalvik cache. Wipe data/factory reset. Flash the ROM and then the Gapps.

Let us know if you get stuck.
[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
I always manually format system as well for good measure
[Nexus S Android Development] puya.crisan:
Thanks for the patch man!
[Nexus S Android Development] tricampeao23:
When you do that step?
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
You can do that too. It happens automatically when you flash the ROM. Doesn't hurt in being sure.
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Wipe cache, dalvick, data and format system. That's recommended when flashing slim rom. After that flash rom and gapps.
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Slim should borrow the high end graphics switch that CM has... That would allow transparency and keep the build.prop set to true...
[Nexus S Android Development] Faizi Ch:
low_ram set to false also allows "Ok Google"...
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
A fun toy until you watch your battery drain.. Google search is a HUGE battery hog... ;p

It would be cool to have the autostart and wake up controls in permissions added as well.. ;)

[Nexus S Android Development] billis_kou:
Hey guys, I got a nexus S and it has a 4.1.2 rom. To install this rom do i have to get a compatible CWM or i can just install it over the current one?

If another CWM is required plz link me to the proper one.
[Nexus S Android Development] treesurf:
You do need the latest CWM, which is available on the Clockworkmod website, or by installing it using the ROM Manager app. Or, you can use the latest Philz recovery, which you can find in it's thread in this forum. I prefer Philz.
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:

I've been changing this in the build.prop just to get lock screen widgets. 2.6 rc2 is working great for me so far.

You can set low ram to false, reboot and setup lock screen widgets. Then you set low-ram to true and reboot : the widgets is still here and you can have optimisation memory.
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
Tried this, but it didn't work for me: after the second reboot my lockscreen widgets were gone, replaced by the usual clock. Then I set low ram to false again, rebooted and my widgets returned.

Here are some recent commits to CM to enable lockscreen widgets for low ram = true :

also i've red about XP FRMWRK and it's not compatible with ART resulting in bootloop if using it. so i think for now i will keep current configuration with ART and low ram set false. It's performing very very good and maybe developers from slimteam will build the stable version with translucent statusbar. Thanks again.

5- The lockscreen widget has not removed
[Nexus S Android Development] deltatux:
It's likely disabled at the kernel level, while it can improve performance on certain devices, I don't recommend it since it does add extra protection to your device. You can re-enable it by flashing a kernel that has it enabled.
