I was reading the logcat to send and it complained about the gallery access to the sd card.

I checked and it was correct, but only 46mb were free.

I cleaned it up, and camera worked with 230mb free.

So, it was a weird response to an almost full sd card.

I love this rom!

I just switched from CM11 to SlimKat yesterday, and I am very impressed with this rom so far! :good:

It has been very stable (no random reboots or RIL reboots yet, despite fairly heavy usage), and I absolutely love the features! My favorite feature is the ability to assign almost any action to the hardware buttons. I set the back button so that a double-tap opens the previous app, which makes multitasking a breeze: I can switch back and forth between two apps in less than a second. I don't think that was possible on CM11.

I miss the ability to put toggles in the notification menu, but those are easy enough to replace with the power toggles app, which I had already been using anyway.

The only other feature I miss is the ability to keep the transparent status bar while the low memory flag is enabled. (The "force high-end graphics" option isn't available.) When I get a chance, I'll try modding the SystemUI apk like I used to do in CM10.1 and CM10.2, or maybe just use an xposed module.

Thanks TJKV for porting this to the Defy! I plan to use SlimKat as my daily driver from now on.

Stuck at boot Logo

I apparently waited more than 10 minutes.The SlimKat Logo keep on flashing.Nothing happens.I did follow the instructions.I came from stock ROM..Help me please
[Defy Android Development] stirlitz99:
Did you flash it from TWRP 2.6.3.0 (not TWRP 2.6.0)? Did you wipe the system too... not simply factory reset?
[Defy Android Development] eddykuhan:
Ya i used TWRP 2.6.3.0 .I wiped /system /cache /data in TWRP..I flashed so many times.I used build 3.85.But same thing happens again.It stuck at Boot logo for more than 20 mins.. :(
[Defy Android Development] Lord_Flaya:

Advanced Reboot Instructions

Go to Settings -> Security

Scroll down to the Device Administration section

Set Advanced reboot to either Hide on lock screen or Show always.

You can go into recovery when u press reboot.
[Defy Android Development] Stoku:
It doesn't work on 3.8.
[Defy Android Development] :
worked for me, just flashed to 3.85. Thx eddykuhan :good:
[Defy Android Development] htto:
If you've got a build setup, you could try this, otherwise try NovaLauncher's transparent statusbar setting.
[Defy Android Development] Stoku:
Why I can't bind a custom action for search key in hardware buttons settings? Work's only searching in app (eg. music player) on tap and long press opens my web browser instead of nothing or voice search by default.

Thanks!:good:
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
Thanks for the suggestion! I don't have a build setup, unfortunately, and I don't use Nova. [MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION], would you be willing to include htto's statusbar_transparency.patch in your next build? :D It's your decision, obviously, but in my opinion that would be an awesome new feature on an already excellent rom.
[Defy Android Development] Casper1982:
for the transparency of the status bar, does not need any patch ...

only change one line in the bluid.prop works ...

this is the line;

"ro.config.low_ram = true" change "true" for "false"
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
Yes, but I want to enable the transparent status bar without disabling all of the other optimizations for low ram devices. That's what htto's patch does. CM11 has a similar feature called "force high-end graphics". Thanks anyway for the reply.
[Defy Android Development] Da Avenger:
Small Review

Using 3.85 build as my daily driver now, and the battery life i'm getting on my 1.5 year old device is outstanding (see attachments) ..Awesome right:laugh::highfive:.

The only thing missing is the bootmenu so cant overclock ,set default cpu scheduler and i/o scheduler. [Not a major issue as i can do it manually everytime i reboot my phone with SetVsel and Aero Control app respectively]

Bug/s i noticed: Root applications like TiBu or Luckypatcher when reboot the device using root permissionsit gets stuck on the M logo but i guess thats already there in quarx's cm11 bug list.

Thanks [MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION] for this awesome port !

It would be great to have transparent status bar with other low ram device optimizations i guess,as [MENTION=4472055]Proverbs2[/MENTION] suggested
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
Aerocontrol restores these settings at each boot to the desired values. You just have to enable it (press the menu button in the upper right).
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Allrite, I will include transparent status bar next build :)
[Defy Android Development] erdnuesse:
Will it be switchable? Everyone suggests things like transparent bars or animated wifi/data symbols, but i like it pure and would like to turn them off.

You have reached the end of the internet.
[Defy Android Development] Lord_Flaya:
Really love this rom and therefore i have to report a finding from today. When recieving or making a call the screen goes black, red led lights up ever so slightly and i have to press power button to revive the defy. This happened a few times today, never before since release. Will try same settings as i have on my other defy running cm11 thru aero control and see if it helps. Will also try to get some logs for the issue. Once more, thx for an excellent rom. :)

Why don't you just port the frameworks and settings part? Won't that be easier as it gives everyone more options instead of having to force low memory flag if they don't want to.

Or is it because you don't want to have to maintain the settings part again fo kk?

Just in case you want to port it and have forgotten which two ;) -->

Edit -

I see thought so :P
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes one I don't want to fork settings also, two I don't want to add too many things.

Left to myself I wouldn't add the transparency with low mem thing at all. For example Slim devs refuse to add a toggle for the volume rocker direction feature (keeps up/right for vol up with respect to display rotation direction rather than being fixed to the actual vol up button for all orientations), which some people don't like.

And hence I don't want to add to settings and frameworks :) But transparency is requested by many it would seem so I MIGHT add. No promises but I'll think about it :P

Sent from my Nexus 5
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
Well, it's your rom, so if you don't want the transparency, we shouldn't complain!

I'll just keep the low memory option disabled for now, because I was having some problems with the low memory setting anyway: for some reason it messed up my lockscreen, showing a volume control widget that was unresponsive and couldn't be removed. Strange. :confused:

Even with the low memory optimizations disabled, this is still a very snappy rom with more free ram than I had on CM11. After several days of use, I'm even more impressed with it. Thanks again for your work! :good:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Well yes I make it but it is for you guys :p

I guess I'll wait for more responses to the poll and then add, or maybe make another version if I can. Upcoming stable 4 btw :)

Yeayea April fools
[Defy Android Development] htto:
Let's see, maybe I'll throw an updated patch together which uses a prop and stays within frameworks/base, so there's no need for forking another repo. Though that'll have to wait till later the day.

EDIT: Patch updated.

Also, am I the only one, that experiences hard lockups with the camera application? That is, after successfully taking a normal picture and touching that tiny thumbnail to get a bigger view of the just taken picture. Right there you've get (in landscape at least) three small previews: on the left live camera, in the middle the just taken and on the right the last taken picture thumbnail. I get a hard lockup + reboot after some seconds there. Though I haven't had a closer look at the issue, yet.
[Defy Android Development] Casteleugim:
Yes in 3.8.5 for me, I have similar episodes using camera and using Internet navigation too after showing a video: Black screen + sudden reboot. Some times I need also remove the battery for can reboot correctly.

Mh looks like the camera reboot problem vanished. Though QS direct access by right side down slide doesn't access QS, and the top right button to switch to it doesn't work either?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Build 4 (aka stable) uploaded to d-h.st host, test and let me know if it is okay. Only Slim features are labelled as stable, not necessarily the bits relevant to defy specifically. For all we know this build's device specific problems could cause your phone to launch north korean nukes at your location (which I will not be held responsible for obviously).
[Defy Android Development] adyo13:
Other than the persistent black status bar, no problems at all. A, and if you select Reboot from the power menu, it gets stuck to a black screen until the battery is removed. Thank you so much for this brilliant rom tho' !!!
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Nothing is seen on the status bar? Nothing has changed with that bit of the code at all. Clean install?

Seems CM11 is having this too.
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that issue was related to bug #39, which was supposedly fixed by this patch. Is that patch included in your 4.0 build? If not, would you mind adding it?

Thanks again for an awesome rom!

Edit: I see some CM11 users still have this issue, although both okij and sevenrock have reported that it is fixed for them. I wonder why it's only affecting some users. :confused: I'll update to SlimKat 4 later today and test it out myself.
[Defy Android Development] adyo13:
The status bar is ok.. it's just not transparent :) ..and I can't find anywhere its settings or the low memory stuff

Yes, Defy safe wipe installation
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:

[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Oh that. It sounded like you were reporting a bug. Like I said I will decide later. [MENTION=5721362]htto[/MENTION] has provided a nice patch so I can add it but not with build 4.

Ofc anyone is welcome to compile for themselves with the patch :) Just compiling from my sources isn't that hard...just need a good guide, a few hours, and some space on your hard drive. Fast internet connection helps too :p
[Defy Android Development] Lord_Flaya:
Build 4 works good so far. Still got the black screen during calls and it seems as its not related to tweaking my sensor. Did the screw-trick known from before but no dice. Other than that it works like a charm. And i do have transparent statusbar. ;)

And I miss the dpi settings..after a lot of time with an old Slim, my eyes are struggling with this one.

480p video recording works fine for me with the latest update on my red lens defy, with both the stock camera and Camera ICS+. Thanks TJKV!

720p recording won't start. The preview is fine, but pressing the record button has no effect. I rarely use 720p, though, because it tends to produce choppier videos.

720p has never worked and never will work on a green lens defy; it's a hardware limitation. 480p should work, though. Did you try changing the video encoder to MPEG4 in the camera settings?

[Defy Android Development] Casteleugim:
I don't remember if v.3 can set other values for overclock, but you can try using bootmenu directly. I recommend you that read old post looking for something about.

My experience is newest version have better manage over memory and have more flexibility for customization. I'm really don't sure if newest versions are more stable that v.3. In addition versions 4+ have new other problems you can see.

Enviado desde mi MB526 mediante Tapatalk
[Defy Android Development] Proverbs2:
As TJKV explained in this post from a few days ago, the "stable" label in this context means that the rom is ported from a stable release from the SlimRoms team. The latest 4.0 build uploaded yesterday is also based on a stable SlimRoms release, but both "Stable 3.0" and "Stable 4.0" have been ported to the Defy in the same way that CM11 has been ported by Quarx, and the porting introduces various bugs.

IMHO, the latest 4.0 build by TJKV is the most stable KitKat rom for the Defy, and I highly recommend it. :good: It still has some of the same bugs as CM11, which are listed here, but it does not have all of those bugs (for example, bug #32 does not exist on TJKV's SlimKat) and as far as I know it does not have any additional bugs besides those on CM11.

In my own experience, the infamous RIL ("telephony layer" reboot) bug is much less common on SlimKat than on CM11, and reboots in general are extremely rare. (I've only experienced them shortly after install, before the phone had a chance to "settle".) Lags and freezes are also less common, probably because SlimKat uses slightly less ram than CM11.

I'm on 3.6 ( Slim-mb526-4.4.2.build.3.6-UNOFFICIAL-20140311-0257 )... not fully convinced with the newer versions. Perfectly working, overclocked and undervolted with SetVSel. No FCs, camera is fine, Wi-Fi also, superb on the battery and on the memory. 3.6 is almost perfect.

Minor flaw is that it doesn't charge the battery when the device is OFF. It starts it up, but you can go to Airplane mode if you don't want to be "online"
