[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
I'm facing quite some issues while trying to use an external sd of 64Gb formated as FAT32.

I was reading about it and I'm not that much technical educated about it nor I am a developer.

But as far I could understand, Google limited the ability of the apps to write in the external sd.

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=65974

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/android-platform/14VUiIgwUjY/UsxMYwu02z0J

If it makes any difference, I'm using SuperSU and not the internal superuser of the ROM.

For instance:

Helium is not backing up to the external sd card.

Go Backup either.

Titanium is working but I'm not being able to restore app/data in a second ROM.

Oanbbackup is not restoring from external sd card.

OBackup and Online Nandroid aren't working all the time, i.e., saving the nandroid on external sd card.

Seems to be an internal configuration of the ROM.

Could the developers drop a word about this issue in Slim ROM? Seems that OMNI changed this internally and it's not facing the same issues.

This is a text from an app developer that was trying to help me.

So I do this question to the developers?

Could you lift the protection on secondary external storage devices (or maybe even better, make it a checkable option) so that apps with the WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permission have complete read and write access to the secondary external storage?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kwbmm:
I can totally confirm this second bug.

For the first, I didn't pay so much attention

Whooaaa [MENTION=4129455]Formhault[/MENTION] how did you record the screen???

Seems like I didn't read the Change-logs thoroughly enough as I missed the one that pointed this feature out :-O

or did you do it via ADB?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
It's a feature of GravityBox.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Tested for the 5th time with a TWRP nandroid.

When I boot on Slim, the backup just "disappear" from the external card as it never being done.

I've made a nandroid with TWRP, unmounted the sdcard, remove it and mounted into Windows, the files are there.

Moving back to the phone, mounted in TWRP, the files are there.

Restarting the ROM, the files are gone :mad:

Did the same process with the 2nd ROM. Nandroid in TWRP, boot with OMNI. The files are there :victory:

Something seems to be "wrong" (or different) with Slim.

Both ROMs are 4.4.2 and, yeah, I know it's a huge Kitkat issue:

http://beranger.org/2014/01/30/how-kitkat-4-4-killed-android-and-google-keeps-screwing-things/

There is also other threads in xda trying to "fix" this http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50035076&postcount=121

But it's a major issue to do it at "every single reboot".

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47721107&postcount=1

I will test again with OMNI, but if I cannot find other solution, I'll have to move from Slim as I really need to use the external sdcard.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Technical:
Tested again with OMNI as 2nd ROM and the files are gone also :crying:

I've unmounted the sdcard but not moved it to Windows. When I reboot, files are gone.

Other subject:

Is it possible to add exFAT support in the kernel like http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=46906040&postcount=1

exFAT will be supported also by Windows in big sdcards. Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
Strange ... I did not notice any of those issues .

Are you using some modifications of recents? I see the ram bar (i have it also) but 2nd thing i noticed is you have some apps displayed under the bottom side of the screen - mine is always fully visible see screenshot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
I am using GravityBox to tweak the Recent Apps panel, yeah, but the issues I explained were present even in the early builds of SlimKat, when I did not have the courage to try GravityBox (fearing a bootloop might occur or something).

What apps displayed under the bottom side of the screen? You mean the dock with 4 app shortcuts and one icon for the app drawer? :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
Like i said ... I never had any of your issues trying to reproduce but no success.

And see the screenshot ... The app in the bottom of recents is not fully visible by yours. On my screenshot it is fully visible in this case ES file explorer(scr taken from mxplayer and it is kinda mixed with other frame maybe)

1) i made you a video you can see everything behaving normally

https://www.dropbox.com/s/g24by18r5p6o2sp/recents.mp4

2) would say also not to use GravityBox as the author of the module is strictly not recommending this on Slim

Edit: now this conversation about recents can be stopped after the announcement

Guys I have this bug here with the latest build:

The camera often take pictures by itself as soon as I launch it and the focus mode option remains always set on "continuous picture" even if I try to set another option (auto, infinito, macro).

Has this already been discussed here?

Anyone has the same problem I have?

Thanxxx

I know you can unzip rom package and remove or add apps, but what else do i have to change to exchange kernel (kt to alucard). I am asking as i have several friends i would like make life easier (and ofc myself)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adl:
Look into the Alucard kernel, you find "boot.img". Delete the "boot.img" file in the Slimkat ROM and put the one from Alucard kernel in the ROM.

Also change the whole "system/lib/modules" folder from the ROM with the one you find in Alucard kernel zip file. Delete the KT app from the system/app in the ROM and push "stweaks" from Alucard to that place in the ROM.

These 3 things are necessary and you have Alucard kernel right after flashing the ROM. I do it all the time before flashing, much better kernel imho. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
Thats why i am asking ... As i was not sure there is a need to edit some boot/install scripts. So basically pushing kernel.zip files into rom.zip right?

Yes, works perfect. :good::D

Loving slim recents - so much nicer than stock :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
so I just create flash package (original KT kernel + gapps total 300MB, new Alucard + gapps 241MB :) ) flash successfull going to try the new build :)

now I have my own flash package with apps I only need .. next level will be building it with the modules and libs I need - but I am not sure what I can safely remove

maybe one thing for the new slim recents (which are pretty nice and I feel also switching to the apps is faster - placebo maybe) will be addition of the swipe to show function like we have in notificatitions (swipe down to show content, swipe up/down to hide content)

1st thing I noticed is Xposed module Recents Ram bar is not working with new recents ... I don't care but for the others may be interesting

But the modules is the thing i would like to know which ones i need and which ones can i leave as alucard has 18 modules . in rom there are 21 after merge i have 24 so i think some of the modules belongs only to kt kernel.

Finaly same situation as with the aplications from rom and gapps ... I removed only apks as i am sure i dont need some but dont know if they have some lib (.so) files .,...

Maybe creating a new thread to make slim more slimmer is a good idea so we can identify all apps and libraries to give the visibility what is required and what can be removed
