Can I get away with a dirty flash of 7.4 to 8.4 or does it need to be a full clean? Just curious as i"m not sure what all changed and don't have the time for a full build right now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pedro2767:
We welcome

If I install 4.4.4 Slim Kat .... and something goes wrong or do not like, I can go back to Samsung official 4.4.2.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] a103:
Yes you can. You'll need to Odin flash the 4.4.2 firmware. I'm assuming that you are on 4.4.2 boot loader.

Alucard 1.3d just cured all my issues with 8.4. The no deep sleep issue after I changed the dpi to 480. Plus this being an older kernel it does not have the flip cover feature. Now I can get my Swindow functionality back with Hall Monitor.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Quick question... Is this ROM suffering from the same issues as the CM11 crew? Bluetooth / Wifi / 3-4G issues???

I want to switch back to an ASOP ROM but cant be stuffed if im going to get huge issues with these 3 things...

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Not really. I'm rocky solid at 8.4 without any Bluetooth/WiFi/3G issue.

I've tested both the default kernel and Alucard.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] AMDPOWERFIST:
Thanks dude, much appreciated.

I have got Slim 8.4 / Alucard v1.4h and the latest Slim Gapps installed just then. I made a backup just incase. As i use BT all the time for my car and gym headset everyday, cant have broken BT or connectivity on my Phone, its vital :D

I wish there was an S View Cover feature.

Yeah yeah, i lost this functionality of it....

But with this ROM+Greenify+Widgets to switch to 2g mode.....=GODLIKE!

I greenified most of the apps that aren't necessary, switched to 2G mode but kept data mobile ON for internet messaging notifications....

And for the first time i own this device guess what?

At 7:30 AM, battery was 14%...

It's now 16:30 PM and the battery is at 2%!

9 HOURS ONLY 12%.

32% for 24 Hours.

*(Standby mode with data ON)

AGPS settings

Is there a setting I'm missing in SK that enables automatic download of AGPS data?

I have troubles always getting a quick fix after some time even if I do not move far away from my last location. As soon as I download AGPS data with a 3rd party app the fix is almost instant. I was used to the system does that for me (on CM). Is there an option for that?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
GPS status&toolbox is a good app. It downloads the agps automaticly everytime i launch gps. Tho i have searched for an automatic way without 3rd party app but i didnt find anything good. Android itself will use AGPS if you have checked "use wireless netorks" for gps settings. Just try and have data enabled when you turn on gps. The app is mostly used to reset AGPS when you're really far away from the location you downloaded the AGPS.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] measel:
I always have mobile data on and it definitely did not download AGPS data. As I said, I didn't move far away from my last location. I activated GPS with high accuracy (so all location options activated). I started My Tracks and still no fix after 6 mins (than I got impatient because I was running and started GPS Status).

Right now my workaround is to use Tasker to autostart/-kill GPS Status. But its not a very clean solution.

I'll try to catch a log as soon as i have some spare time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] pitastrudl:
you could also try editing the gps.conf file to suit your needs. There are many guides on it on xda.

Been using this perfect ROM since forever. But ever since 7.4 any build after that i have always had issues where my signal drops randomly. Ive tried each build with stock slimkat, alucard and googymax kernels and i have the same issue with all. I always do a clean install. Wipe user data, format system then install. Still i get the issue.

Ive not tried 8.8 yet but tried up to 8.6. Will try 8.8 later.

Am i doing something wrong? Does anyone else have this problem?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Auzman:
Hi everyone!

After some time without Slim Rom (I used to install it on my i9000) I decided to flash my i9505 with Slimkat stable 7.0.

Everything went well, but I'm unable to see the external SD card.

I tried different ones, but it simply doesn't show up.

If I remove it I get the warning message, but if I try to insert it again nothing happens.

Also in recovery (I use Philz Touch 6.58.7) it seems that I'm not able to mount it.

Any idea on what to do?

Thank you...

Material theming

Anyone experiencing problems with Material themed apps? I use Xprivacy which has been redesigned with Material layout and some things like switches don't seem to work as expected. The dev said he included material support libraries and the problem is possibly due to custom theming of this rom.

Another possible victim: JuiceSSH. The switches there are not working either.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __Miguel_:
Slim is NOT compatible with Xposed. It has been said numerous times here, and there is a specific alert on the Xposed thread, alerting to that fact.

Anything not working when you're using any Xposed module is, therefore, attributed to incompatibilities between Slim and Xposed, which are not taken into account by either dev team.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] wonsky21:
AFAIK Slim is compatible with Xposed... Only some "all-in-one" modules can cause troubles.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
???

I use it without issues all the time, since SlimKat was released... Can you give us a link to this affirmation? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] soza971:
i think that u are confused and maybe you re talking about GravityBox because i am using also Xposed everyday and i never had any issue with it so far as i remember.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Oh, sorry. Indeed, Gravity is not compatible. I do not use it. Sorry.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __Miguel_:
Direct quote from the Xposed FAQ thread:

That, alone, means any non-AOSP ROM (or any AOSP ROM which has been tampered with) has the potential to be incompatible with Xposed. However, as wonsky21 pointed out, the modules are usually the cause of any compatibility issues.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] soza971:
quoted from xposed developper (himself)

I develop the Xposed framework based on the AOSP sources. I'm personally using CM10.2 on an I9100 (Samsung Galaxy S2, bought in Germany). Basically, it should work on any phone which with a ROM based on Android 4.0 or later and an ARM or x86 processor (this is the processor architecture, almost all smart phones and tablets have either of those).

i think that all the bold sentences means that it should work on slimkat too no?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __Miguel_:
Should work =/= will work with 100% certainty, which was what I said.

But, as I said on my last post, "the modules are usually the cause of any compatibility issues".
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] measel:
This is NOT AN XPOSED FRAMEWORK ISSUE. Thats why I added the sample of JuiceSSH which does not use Xposed and still has the material design flaw!

Or does Xposed tinker with the system so ALL apps are affected by potential problems?

Maybe someone could confirm the existance of that problem (with or without xposed): install JuiceSSH or find some other Material app that has strange missing buttons.

Hi, my digital tongue can sense the lollipop inching closer and closer....

But, before it arrives and we all get that sweet tooth and slimkat gets left 'unfinished', I'm wondering if the following features will finally be included before slimkat final build:

1). WiFi/Mobile data traffic indicator triangles

2). Option to always expand notifications (in notification bar)

3). GPS Compass indicator (blue direction triangle in Google maps)

4). Show "Charging (xx%)" text on lock screen

5). Make ALL the 'quicksettings' menu's/submenu's in camera app to be static and not disappear when released (bottom right button)

6). Options to disable camera widget and hotseat placeholders on lockscreen

7). Make phone app save last view state when minimised for all views (not just the dialpad)

'and/or'

8). Option to always start phone app in 'all contacts' list

As far as I recall, features 1-6 were all in slimbean and due to appear in slimkat eventually according to OP, and have been included in [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION]'s unofficial slimsaberkat builds already, and since no new bugs have been introduced at all by adding them to his builds, it sure would be wonderful to see them quickly slipped into a future official weekly ;)

7 and/or 8 are just little cherries on top and not all that essential, but 'eventually' would be good to see :)

Anyway, I finally jumped up to official slimkat 8.8..full device format, clean install..beeeeaaaauutttiffullll!

My phone is purring like a kitten :good::good::good::good::good::good::good:

Only things are the 'bluetooth crashes wifi' (kernel panic?) bug, and mobile data opten drops during calls and can take taking aaaages to come back online after call ends, but they're CM kernel problems if i'm not mistaken, so only a matter of time til theyre fixed really :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Auzman:
I tried to go back to the original Samsung ROM and the external SD card was visible. I reverted to SlimKat and restored the backup and obviously it was no more visible.

Could it be a kernel related setting? Maybe something on the recovery?
