SlimRecents... again... :(

[MENTION=5047159]Tylog[/MENTION] [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] and anyone else knowledgeable or... well... listening, I guess... I just got my new Galaxy S4 Black Edition today. Flashed XXUFNB8 on it (to update camera firmware), then flashed PhilZ, wiped everything + flashed SlimKat (+ minimal Gapps, of course).

Guess what... the SlimRecents bug is still there... Although it appears to be occuring less frequently as before, it still DOES occur often enough to break multitasking experience.

This is the 4th Galaxy S4 that I see this issue to occur on (full wipe prior to flash, of course). While I did not film myself doing the whole setup (full wipe + flash + boot + test the bug without any apps or Xposed installed), due to lack of other >144p camera to film with... I assure you, the bug happens even right after the initial setup (Gmail account setting etc.) is completed : open app, press home button, see app not listed.

The 'Show topmost task' option can't possibly fix this bug. All this option would do is make it so that when you're in the Phone app, for example, and open SlimRecents, the Phone app will be listed as well (if 'Show topmost task' is enabled) or not (if 'Show topmost task' is disabled). That doesn't affect in any way the fact that, at times, the last app accessed is not listed in SlimRecents. 'Show topmost task' is useful, indeed, but it looks like we need a 'Show last app' option as well... :(

Well, actually, an option more like 'Show last apps that were accessed before the last SlimRecents draw', in fact, since it sometimes happens that not only the one last accessed app is not listed, but more (2-3, depends)... you know...

-----

How was I able to test this on 4 different Galaxy S4 phones, you might ask? Without even having one camera to film with? Well, the story goes like this. Actually, tl;dr : first S4 was the one I had for about 11 months, which I recently sold. The 2nd one was a Galaxy S4 BE I bought and had problems with (so it got replaced), the 3rd was another Galaxy S4 BE I bought and had problems with (so it got replaced, too). Finally, the 4th one is this Galaxy S4 BE I just got today and seems to be perfect (screen-wise). So, I never got more than 1 phone at hand. This whole thing is why I haven't been active here for the last few days :)

So, having this occuring on four different Galaxy S4 I9505 phones... I think that's enough of a proof to re-ensure myself that I am not crazy or own a haunted phone (unless, of course, all 4 are haunted, which... come on... what the hell... :silly: ).

I was able to reproduce it on 4 different Galaxy S4 devices. All coming from stock Samsung TouchWiz 4.4.2 (XXUFNB8, fwiw) -> full wipe -> flash SlimKat -> experience bug... so... :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
hey buddy .... sorry to say but I already installed slimkat on 3 sgs4 phones and none of those is suffering this bug so maybe there is a difference in the procedure of installation/flashing something you did differently I did

I also have it on my old sgs1 also without the bug
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
What is the flashing procedure you followed? Be as thorough as you can, please. But it really shouldn't be about that, as the only best way to do things is to wipe everything and format all partitions manually, followed by ROM and Gapps flashing. What could be more to it than that? :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
For two of the devices i first flashed latest firmware (new bootloader), one just the 4.2.2 on old BL. Using odin and firmware was from samfirmwares.com

Then the same procedure always:

1) Flashed CFautoroot in odin

2) flased standard cwm or philz using SGS4 flasher app from playstore

3) factory reset in recovery

4) flash slimkat and reboot

5) back to recovery

6) format system

7) flashed slimkat and gapps and kernel of my choice and supersu

8) wipe cache and dalvik

9) reboot

All devices running on dalvik

Hope this helps

Lol - welcome back formhault :laugh: it was strangely quiet here without you :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Why flash ROM, reboot, then reformat system and reflash ROM + Gapps...?! :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
old time habbit ... and it works great (and it is required only when changing rom)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Hang on... flashing ROM then booting up then reformatting and flashing ROM and Gapps is not required when changing ROM... Only full wipe followed by ROM and Gapps flash is required... :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
yes you are right ... but it always helped me to prevent all problems so i stuck to it

Anyway it maybe is not the crucial difference ... It may be in other parts
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Metalazzo:
I have the same bug.

Simple solution : close app, long press center button to show recent app. OK, no app. Close recent app and re-open it. Tadam !! It's here.:silly:

For me, it works like this. Since my S4 is dying, I'll wait for it to die completely. I don't want to flash new slimrom to see if the bug is fixed and end up with a black screen of death (and the need to disassemble the phone to put the little motherboard into my oven)...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] corb06:
Now that everyone is talking bugs. I have had a few random freezes... Happens at tops twice a day and mostly when doing something in notification bar.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
That is the bug, lol...

And what is wrong with your phone? :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] bajong:
same problem here i did a maximum WIPE
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Funny, I was able to reproduce the bug on four Galaxy S4s. Now, on the 4th (and final, as I am not going to replace this one any time soon), after about 12 hours since the initial full wipe and ROM setup... I AM UNABLE TO REPRODUCE THE BUG. What the hell... I didn't even reboot the device or anything in all this time. :eek: !!!!!

Whoops... nope. Closed Tapatalk, entered Messaging the Clock to set up an alarm, then entered SlimRecents and only Tapatalk was listed. On the second try, Messaging and Clock were there, too. :) :headbang:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] coyttl:
How do YOU do your installs?

I do -

Clean:

1. Wipe System, Cache, Davlik.

2. Install ROM, Gapps, KT Kernel. (In that order.)

3. Wipe cache, davlik. (I know, unnecessary, but it's habit from my S1 days.)

4. Install TiBu from it's made up .zip.

5. Boot up.

6. Go through setup wizard.

7. Run TiBu, install user apps, restore some system data, remove some stock bloatware, in that order.

8. Run AdBlock.

Dirty:

1. Flash ROM, GApps, KT Kernel. (in that order)

2. Wipe cache, davlik.

3. Reboot.

4. Run TiBu and remove some stock bloatware.

--Mike.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Full wipe, manually format system, flash ROM, flash Gapps, boot up, do the initial setup, install TiBu then restore apps with it.

Dirty flash... I just flash the new ROM .zip :). But the dirty flash process does not matter here, as I said the bug occurred on 4 devices after the initial setup (full wipe, not dirty flashed)... :(

Bluetooth worked fine on 5.9, as it does on 5.10. I suggest flash 5.10 weekly on top (wipe cache and dalvik, for what it's worth) and if that doesn't fix the problem, I guess it's time for a full wipe...

A little bit off topic but i am abit frustrated and wanted to share..

Zamzung and Google Android = Knox = Android v5.0
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:
Won't bother most people as all new Samsung's come with Knox as standard... So they will of already tripped it by rooting, and its only a word and a number at the bootloader screen (Knox 0x1).. It won't stop anything from working etc.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] _Sofos_:
It's not about Samsung, it's about Android in general and all other devices using it. I was about to leave Samsung and now this.

That's why i am frustrated, plus guarranty means alot to me. I don't own my S4 even a whole year and my screen is already yellowish.

Anyway sorry for the OT.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] John_wba:

I´ve always the problem, there is no information about updates in the playstore. (Slim mini gapps BETA 4.4.4 5.95-99)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __NBH__:
I'm not sure about the new split of the gapps. The mini one not including YouTube or tts for better speech doesn't work for me as I like to use them and if I install YouTube from the play store it's not themed with trds.

Now I have to install the normal gapps package which includes more bloat I don't need. IMO the mini package should at least include the Google apps that come on every android phone that the slim team themes with trds.

Is Gravity Box working without problems on SlimKat?

I always thought I couldn't use GB on Slimkat...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __NBH__:
You can use gravity box but you have to be careful what you turn on that interferes with the ROM settings and what is separate and doesn't cause any problems.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rintenfinten:
Thanks.

Is there a list somewhere which features could cause problems with SlimKat or do I have to learn it by trial and error? ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __NBH__:
I found that if the setting in gravity box is in SlimKat for example having the clock in the centre of the status bar then that causes problems as the ROM and gravity box are both trying to do the same thing. But with other mods like more volume steps, that isn't in SlimKat so it works OK.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
Yes it's ok. Heads up is fine, after first message FC but then it's fine, the first FC comes with cm heads up too, no problem.

Other things that are double features do not use.

Hello,

With GPS status, my phone set now in 10 sec, even inside my home ! Thx for the tip !!! Great app !

I just noticed that I'm not able to send out mails via Gmail App ....since I'm on 5.10 .... I flashed 4.4.3 gapps, can this be the reason ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rintenfinten:
I just installed it and had an immediate FC, followed by another FC 5 minutes later (system ui? -> status bar dissappears). I also get FCs of other apps after activating GG.

Also, there alsways comes this navigation bar at the botton that s4 users don't need. It is not activated in SlimKat settings and not aktivated in GB settings either...

Guess I will uninstall GG.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Bejda:
The few times i had GravityBox installed on aosp the trick with NavBar was to activate it under GB but set its dpi to 0 but some others reported that NavBar was coming back anyway,i don't know much but you could test this maybe.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Rintenfinten:
Thanks, but I won't use it any more. GB might be a great tool, but to me the FCs und the NavBar issue makes it unusable.

Just wanted to test heads up. It is a nice feature, but not really useful for me. If this ultimate notification feature would make LED on while screen on possible then I would try it again. ;)

90-xposed.sh not working (fixed) & questions

Thanks for the script collection.

An interesting observation: My 90-xposed.sh script was not working. By trial and error I finally found out that I had an outdated version of TWRP (2.5.2) installed, so after upgrading to 2.7.1 the script started working.

Btw. I have two questions:

Does Mount SD Card in TWRP or USB Mass Storage Enabler work for you guys? Because the first doesnt work and the second freezes my system. What is your fastes way to move files to and from SD Card?

Is there an option to use Whisperpush from CM11 on SlimKat (automatically route SMS through encryption if receiver has Whisperpush installed)?

Thanks.

PS: Updated to 5.10 this morning and now Auto Brightness stopped working. Sensor is ok (Galaxy S4 Sensors app tested).

In previous Slim version, we used to be able to access quick settings in the status bar.

Do you guys know a way to do that again?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
That functionality hasn't gone anywhere.

1) Pull down the notification bar using two fingers

2) Pull down the notification bar then swipe left / right

3) Pull down the notification bar and touch the icon in the upper right corner

Also, you have an option to make it so that when you pull down the notification bar (with one finger only) from right or left, the Quick Settings menu shows up directly. You can find this option under Settings -> Interface -> Quick Settings -> Smart pulldown or something like that...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Thanks but that's what I was saying : there is 2 different places... So you have to choose if you want settings or status. Before you could have the 2 into the status bar, at the same place. I' had my quick settings shortcuts into the notification bar.

Hope I'm clean enough.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] __NBH__:
Yes put smart pulldown on no persistent and as long as you have no persistent notifications it will always show the quick tiles when you swipe down which are just like the quick toggles but arranged differently.

I didn't like it at first but I've got used to it now. The quick toggles were kind of silly anyway as you had to swipe down the whole notification area just to be able to change a few toggles at the top with most of the space wasted. At least with the tiles it fills up the screen and allows you to add more functions.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Yeah, thanks, I like your solution.

But I can't just figure out why it's not possible anymore to have the quick settings into the notification bar, it was so easy and natural...
