I'm sorry to hear of your health issues, and wish you the best. I've moved on to the Moto G LTE but my NS with slimbean and slimkat has been with me on many hikes, bike rides and even several winter snow trips. A great daily driver & beyond. You have my thanks and appreciation.
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
By far, I've found Build 3 of SlimKat to be with minimal bugs, basic Slim features and is a good daily driver.

And it's fast too.
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
There's a test version of Slim 5.1 that is nearly perfect.. I'll put up a link.. It has the recent panel reverted to standard and is (in my opinion ) the best version so far..

Thanks for your work here, and I wish you a speedy recovery and return to us.. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] ottoemezzo:
I agree, that's the fastest version recently. I kept it on my phone too after its release and I often return to it. I encourage everyone to try it.

Thanks for sharing it with the others.
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
Well, this might be good. But AFAIK, all builds after Build 3 had the laggy dialer. That's why I found it good. [emoji2]
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
I didn't have dialer lag using this 5.1 version, or resents lag either.. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
In that case, I'll definitely try it out. Let's see how it goes. Will dirty flash it and hope it works properly.
[Nexus S Android Development] :
Sorry to hear you are poorly. I wish I could handle maintaining slim for crespo but I've got the same time constraints as before.

I'm sure everyone wishes you a speedy recovery!
[Nexus S Android Development] anshumandash:
Which gapps version do you recommend to use with this build. I am still stuck to 2.6 as it was running without issues. I want to flash this build now.
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
I was using 5.2 gapps with it...
[Nexus S Android Development] N3RO815:
Do you have any link for this?
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
I don't.. The Slim site doesn't have it there anymore.. Try the stable 5.0 gapps or a newer version..
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
You were there in crespo development some time back and have been again active recently. Keeping in mind all your time constraints and availability, will it be possible for you to fix the SD card issue of SlimKat for crespo? This request is because this is the only thing which is stopping us from trying out new builds.

Also, I'm sure all of us would understand if you are not able to because of personal commitments. We all know there is more to life than ROM building :p

Slim 5.2 minimal gapps

I happened to have a copy of the slim minimal gapps 5.2 lying around. For anyone who needs it :

[Nexus S Android Development] :
Flash ROM then flash my kernel (CM version)

SD should work
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
This is interesting. Didn't know this was a kernel issue. Will flash it and let you know soon. :fingers-crossed:

Apps2SD

I was looking at the slimroms gerrit at the commits related to Apps2SD :

https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/q/status:merged+message:App2SD,n,z

https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/q/status:merged+topic:app2sd,n,z

I would guess crespo would need to have something similar done to these files :

https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_samsung_crespo/blob/kk4.4/BoardConfig.mk

https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_samsung_crespo/blob/kk4.4/overlay/frameworks/base/core/res/res/xml/storage_list.xml

My build machine is occupied with another device for the time being, or I'd give this a shot myself ...
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
Can we just borrow a file from a previously working rom? or is it imbedded in the framework?
[Nexus S Android Development] :
It might be. This test will show it
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
The SD card works/ mounts correctly, and always has, the problem is the option for apps to use/move to SD is missing.. I have tried Guru, Marmite and Devil, all not adding the option to use the SD card for apps.. I have also reverted every file I could think of that might be SD card / mounting ect.. related, but still no option for apps to use the SD..
[Nexus S Android Development] :
In which case it's a ROM side thing. I'm running 5.1 with no issues
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
I managed to get crespo built and test out changes to these two files. Success ! Here's an unofficial build of 6.4 with App2SD support :

http://rhysw.com/SlimKat/test/Slim-crespo-4.4.4.build.6.4-UNOFFICIAL-20140718-2014.zip

But I'm trying to upload my changes to gerrit via 'repo upload device/samsung/crespo' and getting the following error :

Something isn't quite right about my setup I guess. I generated an ssh key, registered with the slimroms gerrit and set up my git config with "review.review.slimroms.net.username" (I extrapolated from the CM setup). [MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION] or [MENTION=4128576]bedalus[/MENTION] can you help me with the gerrit setup ? Or I can just send the files to you to commit.
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
Check if this works:

git config --global review.gerrit.slimroms.net.username <username>
git config --global review.gerrit.slimroms.net.email <email>

Instead of 'review.review.slimroms.net.username' I think it is 'gerrit.review.slimroms.net.username'

Also check if the test connection works using the command:

ssh -vv -p 29418 john.doe@git.example.com
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
Thanks. I got a successful ssh connection using 'roberthyang@gerrit.slimroms.net', and have successfully connected to CM gerrit and git, so my public key/ssh setup seems OK.

But 'repo upload device/samsung/crespo' still isn't working. I tried the following in my git config :

[Nexus S Android Development] jwee5467:
Sure is. Feature of KitKat as far as I know.
[Nexus S Android Development] !n0x:
There should be at least a way to disable that. it does not let you past the pattern screen (when a pattern is set), though, which is good. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] Darcho:
one of the listed known bugs for the crespo is high battery drain. is this resolved in 1.6? i really want to try this on my device but i'm holding out until this bug is fixed.
[Nexus S Android Development] armored57:
I dont have this bug on 1.1 1.3 and 1.6

And for me the battery is better than slimbean 4.3
[Nexus S Android Development] clem_ita:
May I ask what's people your opinion about kk performance?

From one point of view, 4.4 is optimized for devices with 512mb ram so in principle it might give a smoother user experience than jellybean. But on the other hand there is no officinal proprietary blobs out there for crespo, and our cpu is becoming old.. So perhaps the overall experience is still better on jellybean, I don't know.

Is it worth updating if one only cares about performance/smoothness (and is not interested in new kk features)??
[Nexus S Android Development] adm1jtg:
Just my two cents but here are my thoughts on this:

Comparing kk to 4.1.2 (412 was the last google supported version) I see very little difference performance wise. Antutu scores are almost identical overall and in the individual categories the only differences are kk has faster 3d scored and lower database scores.

Overall FEEL is the same to me

Battery life on standby is much improved

Battery life overall is NOW improved (I am on a test build not posted yet)

Available memory is better I used to run at 10 meg or less free with all my apps not I am about 60 meg plus free at any given time

SeLinux has potential though not sure we will ever utilize that potential on our phones

Overall the only current downside to moving to KK/slimkat is that slimkat does not have ever feature YET that the other 4.x builds do. This will likely be remedied over time and then there will be no reason I can think of not to go to slimkat

ALL GOODNESS

Again these are simply my personal opinions and perceptions. Your results may vary :D
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
So far, this Rom is great run with ART.

Thanks SlimKat team for your KitKat support for crespo.

Beta 1.6 works well, i have a question, is that possible to make status bar transplant like Nexus 5 style ?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Actually it should be transparent even on Nova after upgrade. There is an option for this but it's not active. Maybe it must be changed to no low ram device before like with lockscreen widgets.
[Nexus S Android Development] Zahih:
Change ro.config.low_ram=true to false in build.prop

Hi [MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION], Is there any kernel effect in slimkat if change that line to false?

I'm on SlimKat beta 1.6

Thx
[Nexus S Android Development] linuxxp:
Hi guys! I have two questions for last beta 1.6.

I can't uninstall unnecessary programs like Nova Launcher (I use Apex), Calculator (RealCalc), default keyboard (swiftkey), Gmail and something like that. Trying with Rom Toolbox Lite > App Manager.

The phone does not want to sync with Google completely. It sync only contacts. There are no Wi-Fi nets, installed applications and system settings.

To uninstall system apps U can use slimsizer from slimcenter or root Explorer or something like that. System apps are in system /app folder

I've got SlimKat 4.4.2 Build 5 running on my old Nexus S, it's great and I'm loving it, but...

is there any way to keep the backlight of the 4 capacitive buttons on for longer than 5 seconds?

my screen timeout is 1 minute, i'd like to have the 4 capacitive buttons to stay lit up with the screen.

Go to Settings-> navigation-> hardware buttons-> backlight.

Or you can use nstools to change the BLD settings

[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Cause of no testers. Wipe cache, dalvick and system, Flash ROM and gapps and reboot. That's best dirty flash. If you face some issues wipe data also before reporting bugs. Maybe it will solve your problem.
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
Technically speaking, it is not because of lack of testers.

The device maintainer will check if the build is stable or no. In our case, he is busy due to personal issues and hence unable to flag this build as stable. Hence, the SlimROMs team has termed this build as a weekly instead of stable. Anyways, it doesn't matter as such. :p

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

Not exactly lack of maintainer. You forgot [MENTION=4404392]tchaari[/MENTION] already? :p

As you stated, a maintainer is needed to verify builds, since tchaari is (as I said hopefully only temporarily) disposed, we don't have an active maintainer right now for our device.. Don't mix my words, I have respect for tchaari, and Slim and have tested for both.. :)
