I have this bug which i present since i-dont-know-when and its still not corrected:If i turn off the notification of new builds, it gets ignored after a reboot and a "new build is available" is showed.

Also, i Have the latest build 5, but its says there is a newer one (build 7), however if click the link its redirect to a page where is no Build 7. (However there is a weekly build 7, but its not on that page, where are only stable builds present)
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
Same here. It's something on the server side. Nothing to worry about that.
[Nexus S Android Development] ironia.:
With weekly is better sue beta gapps? Tnx
[Nexus S Android Development] Pantx:
hi guys,

i was wondering how is the stable version of this rom.

battery drain?

laggy?

enough ram space?

crashes?

random reboot?

battery life ?????

atm i'm usng the stock rom 100,1% since some years, and befor i was allways on the bleeding edge of the rom update.

i just wan't something stable whitout battery drain and long life battery. and no laggs of any kind.

i used for long time slim bean 3.1

tks
[Nexus S Android Development] ironia.:
simply wonderful, try directly the weekly 4.4.4 -6001:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...13426-slim-crespo-4-4-4-build-7-0-weekly-6001
[Nexus S Android Development] ironia.:
definitely for me the best weekly is 6152 , the later weeklies (also the 7.8) causing me an higher battery drain and many stuck
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
Some commits to crespo are pending since February. Anybody knows how and when they get approved?

Commits: https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/q/status:open+project:SlimRoms/device_samsung_crespo,n,z

Can you do something about it [MENTION=5267541]rhyang[/MENTION]?
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
I'll take a look at it. Whether or not they are ultimately approved is probably not up to me though. Thanks for the heads up !

Edit: So, after looking at these, I have a feeling Tarak was in the middle of adding a Fast Charge QS tile. There were more uncommitted changes needed for that to work, and I'm not really comfortable reviewing those. I'll pass.
[Nexus S Android Development] Warren_Orange:
Wow this ROM is awesome! It feels like I have a new phone.

I'm running a 4.4. Weekly 6152. It runs superb. It even has voodoo sound in the kernel.

This is the first time I have tried a slim ROM and I am very impressed.
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
Thanks a lot for looking into it. I thought they were just forgotten commits but instead they are just incomplete. Anyways, let's wait for Tarak to recover and bounce back. :)
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
Will there be a 4.4.4 update?
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
.. Yes, it is already 4.4.4... ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
whats a good GApps package and kernel to flash with weeklies update 7.4-6152?
[Nexus S Android Development] Warren_Orange:
There are a few weekly 4.4.4 builds. I'm digging one right now. See my post above :)
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
Ah. So this weekly build of the rom already has a kernel built in? But what about GApps. should i use the latest beta 7.x-237 or latest stable 7.x-187?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Yes it comes with kernel and yes use 237 gapps.
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
ARe there any performance options in this rom?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
You can tweak kernel with some third party app if that's what you mean. But not so many build in options.
[Nexus S Android Development] Warren_Orange:
Yes the kernel is included and supports voodoo. For gapps I used the slim mini gapps off the slim website. It's about 56 mb in size.

This is a very very good ROM :D
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
Oh, so there's no built in options to tweak within the rom? I thought maybe there'd be some kind of performance menu in the rom in which you can tweak speed performances or something

Me too! I was wondering though, what is the "normal" GApps?' I've seen minimal and full a lot, but what is "normal"?
[Nexus S Android Development] Lar5:
Basically it's the mini package + Google Search, Music, YouTube.

Do your phones run fine with SlimKat?

For me it acts like there's not enough memory. Old apps get killed almost immediately, often even launcher, opening new app (e.g. Evolve SMS or Browser) often takes about 10 seconds...

Will factory reset help or is it normal behavior because NS is just very old? I have these issues for couple of months and it seems to be getting worse...

Also I'm almost unable to update larger apps (15 MB<) using Play store. It just immediately states there's insufficient storage available even though I have 120 MB of free space. Why is that? Could it be because of incremental updates? Can they be disabled?
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
May I request for an update in a TRDS-compatible in the form of the latest Hangouts update ?
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
Same issues of apps not getting updated/installed. No fix in sight. Not even smaller apps which are a few kBs. :(
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkRain:
I'm a long time slimroms user and i really love it :)

I don't know if anyone is still maintaining that roms but if the answer is yes...i have a request :D

Would it be possible to add the file that's needed for the app "Mirror Enabler"

It's described in here:

For those STILL having issues,
Check /system/lib/hw directory for the file "audio.r_submix.default.so".
If it doesn't exist, ask your device maintainer to add audio.r_submix.default to
the product_packages in the device.mk file. (You may not know what it means, but they will.)
[Nexus S Android Development] anshumandash:
Are you using art or dalvik? I had the same issue in art. Changed to dalvik and things are fine. But I am still on an old build.
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
The kernel that comes with this rom, does it support quick/fast charge?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Yes it has it.
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
I believe it's in the next beta gapps (252).
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
I don't have a Chromecast, but this was done for another device I own, and I used a similar change to do an unofficial build :

http://rhysw.com/SlimKat/test/Slim-crespo-4.4.4.build.8.0-PCFR-UNOFFICIAL-20140912-2126.zip

I sync'ed the repo to the latest sources as of tonight, and it looks like build 8.0 is in the works, so use the latest (12-Sept, build 252) beta gapps with this.

Some other comments from the other commit :

Let me know how it works for you. If it is worth using, then I'll submit it for review and maybe it will get approved for nightly builds.

---------- Post added at 11:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:37 PM ----------

I just tried installing Facebook Messenger (ugh :) thank goodness for privacy guard) on build 8.0 PCFR and had no issues. I have more like ~343MB free though, since it's no longer my daily driver.

There is only 1GB for apps, so it's a good idea to use minimal gapps and move as many to the SD card partition (called "USB Storage" in Settings->Apps) as possible.
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
I have around 100MB free space. I have noticed that when there is less than 10% free space, it gives me these storage errors. I have moved all my apps to SD card as of now and I do not get those errors now. But this is just a quick fix, When apps get updated on the internal memory, I will again be short of space.

---------- Post added at 01:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:16 PM ----------

I am on Dalvik. ART will definitely kill all the remaining free space. :p
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
Which weekly is still considered stable to use as daily driver? Right now I'm on build 7.4 weekly 6152. Is that still good or are the latest update better now?
[Nexus S Android Development] Grondinm:
Hello people. So i build Custom SlimKat builds on a semi daily basis and at the request of [MENTION=4741244]coolek33[/MENTION] i made a build for the crespo. If anyone is interested in it you can find it here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55121762&postcount=3 as you can see i post changelogs in that post and will keep doing so everytime i build. Each build includes LSN,LSW,Network activity arrows,Network speed in status bar all these are features i have picked from around the web. They also contain other mods I've included like all new sounds and bootanimation. I'll keep building as long as at least 1 person uses the builds. Any feedback send me a pm or post in the thread linked above.

Enjoy
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
Yes, another reason I upgraded to a Moto G. I still have a fondness for my Nexus S -- it was my very first smartphone, a good friend gave it to me while I was recovering from surgery, and it still has the original silver Androids back cover. I'll keep mine until it dies.

When I did software development work on feature phones ten years ago, the lifetime of a typical device was considered to be about a year. Crespo is four years old... "You have burned so very very brightly Roy" :)
[Nexus S Android Development] MarkRain:
Thank you!! :good:

Do you think it would work if i just extract the file and put it in my rom??

At the moment i have no free space for another nandroid to flash the rom...

However i'll try it as soon as possible, thank you again!
[Nexus S Android Development] rhyang:
I don't have a chromecast so I don't know. Try it and let us know :)
[Nexus S Android Development] jenda.69:
Dalvik, never tried ART. My Nexus suffers serious lack of app storage even with Dalvik. :)

That's true. For me these problem starts when I have less than about 150 MB. It temporarily helps to remove some system apps, clean browser cache, but problem returns next day...

I was just thinking... Is possible to repartition storage on Nexus? I mean there's ~15 GB "usb storage" and 1 GB for apps, so I'd rather have 14 GB + 2 GB... That would be great. :victory:

For now, I'm every day step closer to rhyang's solution. But instead of Moto G, I'm thinking of LG G2. :o
[Nexus S Android Development] smit.sanghavi:
In case if anybody has lots of free time, here's the guide to increase free space and change the partitions:

i have tested 6399-6245-6211 but always come back to 6152
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
Is 6125 a typo being 6152 or is there really a build version of 6125?
[Nexus S Android Development] Warren_Orange:
I have changed my mind on 6152. Its pretty bad. Way too laggy to make the phone useful at all. Sometimes it freezes for about 15 seconds, especially on maps. The notification bar is bad as well as its just unresponsive. The lock screen is goosed too; the screen will not come on when you press the power button, its just blank for ages, but fascia buttons light up but no screen at all.

I am going to try the stable 4.4.2 and if that is not satisfactory I am going back to Jelly Bean in the form of slim bean.

The NS is just not cut out for KitKat me thinks.
[Nexus S Android Development] itline:
Any news of Build 8 for NS?
[Nexus S Android Development] forb'S:
Yes. Jenkins is now operating for the next builds. Let's see if it is an stable or weekly build. I guess it is a weekly ... :(
[Nexus S Android Development] Warren_Orange:
Do you think we will ever get a stable responsive 4.4.4. Slimkat on NS? I really like 4.4.4. but the weekly I tried was bad.

I am using 4.4.2. build 5 and all is well now. This is a very nice ROM which I will use for the foreseeable future.
[Nexus S Android Development] forb'S:
It depens on what tchaari will do in future. Currently official he is busy and he is the maintainer of crespo/crespo4g for now.

@tchaari Do you have a short feedback for us? Maybe a timetable when the work at SlimKat will go on - as far as foreseeable?I speak for us all, I think. We don't want to push you to a decision, we want only information.

Yeah, I think this is the best SlimKat Build for now. Sad to say the following ones aren't that stable as usual for a SlimKat build.
[Nexus S Android Development] ironia.:
now is out weekly 8.0

i think a good 4.4.4 is the weekly 7.4 - 6152

---------- Post added at 12:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 PM ----------

yes is a typo sorry

I mean 6152

now i'm just dirty flash the latest weekly 8.0
[Nexus S Android Development] itline:
I flash build 8 Weekly. it's sounds good but Location Button doesn't turn on! any suggestion?

update: it's work again automatically!
[Nexus S Android Development] ironia.:
sometimes a reboot helps:D
[Nexus S Android Development] itline:
i did that but nothing change
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
So, I read that there is now a Stable 8.0. Will our devices get any love???
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Yes, but it's in weekly section.
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
But is it stable enough to be considered as stable driver?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Check it for yourself. For me it's always the same. Flashing latest version all the time on all of my devices.
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
For anyone that uses this rom, based on the 8.0 weekly coupled with the -294 GApps beta, does anyone get video latency lag using Hangouts? The kernel I currently have on my device is the Guru kernel. I'm not sure if it has to do with low ram usage, as i have 396-397 total ram and free ram is usually 130mb or less
[Nexus S Android Development] cshnz:
i don't try when using hangout, but the weekly 8.2 are responsive and fast...
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
Do you use Guru Kernel with this rom?

p.s. Can Guru even be used with this?
[Nexus S Android Development] cshnz:
i think guru kernel is compatible, but i use pacorrop kernel with modified BLD by leap_ahead..
[Nexus S Android Development] explorer-10:
Does anyone know if this rom in general is allowed changing of governors? I have NSTools installed and I am able to change cpu clock max/min speed, i/o scheduler, gamma colors, fast charge on/off, but not governor...
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Well, I've changed it with trickster mod.
[Nexus S Android Development] pmauzao:
It's just me or the weekly 8.2 has a APN problem? Doesn't show any APN and don´t let me add a new one... Back to 8.0...
[Nexus S Android Development] pesamurai:
hi everybody,

two quick questions:

1- which is the best kernel for this rom?|

2- and best radio?

I've really big battery drain, I'm tryin' to find an answer 'cause I'm really happy with this ROM.

Regards
[Nexus S Android Development] Max94h:
For the kernel i would suggest Devil kernel... It's really fast and it's really stable even at 1.4 ghz but if you are searching for battery life leave it stock [emoji1] for the radio i have no idea

Inviato dal mio Nexus S
[Nexus S Android Development] Setting.Out:
In Europe xxkb3 radio has been the best for me.. Also worked well in Dubai, Singapore and all over Australia when I was travelling..

+1 for Devil, but stock is really good on this ROM.. ;)
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Got one question for U. Which one version of devil kernel do you use with slim? I would make my wife's Crespo a Lil bit faster if that's even possible with another kernel. I'm used to faster devices and when it comes to do something on Crespo I loosing my patience. Maybe Uve got some link to proper ver working with slim. It's meant for cm right?
[Nexus S Android Development] Carach_CZ:
Any news about SlimKat/Pop for Crespo? I mean some stable version, not weeklies. Thank you, all, for answers.
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
SLIMKAT is same stable in "stable" like in "weekly" build. That's mine and not only opinion. That's how it is for my devices. For SLIMLP (not slimpop) you'll have to wait. Dunno if it ever come here. It's in alpha stage on nexus 5.
[Nexus S Android Development] Carach_CZ:
Thanks, ill use Weeklies 'till "stable" then.

EDIT: battery discharge when wifi is on during the night (screen off) is enormous; if someone from SlimTeam reading this, please look onto the issue.
[Nexus S Android Development] Ibn Saeed:

No lockscreen messaging and missed call widget

Thanks for this awesome rom. :D But may i know how to activate lockscreen widgets messaging and missed call. I really needed :confused:. Sorry for my bad English.
[Nexus S Android Development] Carach_CZ:
Im on SlimKat for a few weeks now, and i have to say that even we have "only" weeklies (SlimRoms themselves stated that "weekly" doesnt mean unstable - Crespo just doesnt have its dedicated maintainer; hence the weekly tag) that Slim is absolutely the Best ROM i ever had on my beloved Crespo. Its fast, it seems it never runs out of battery, its sleek and elegant, and it have a lot of useful and fancy features. Inc.: shake events, color settings for just everything, you can set a custom transparency for a dozen of things etc.

I cant wait for Lollipop / SlimLP.

Too bad that tchaari is not with Slim anymore...

EDIT: i switched to latest M release of CM with Guru. I lost some of my customizations because of that, but i wanted something more up-to-date. Its very bad that ROMs for Crespo slowly dying. :(

Lockscreen widgets

Hello, to activate lockscreen widgets in Parameter => Security (for me in French is : Paramètres==> Sécurité ) in the section Security Screen (Sécurité de l'écran) click on Widgets then "Activate widgets" ("Activer les widgets").

To "parameter" the lockscreen go to Applications and Widgets and put "Configure DashClock Widget" in the "desktop".

Then launch the widget and in Extensions add SMS and Miss Called.

Sorry for the very bad English I am French :)

Hello, I'd like to ask a question: Can I flash the latest version of this rom with a 5.0 clockworkmod recovery?
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Have you flashed any 4.4.4 with this recovery? If it worked then you can try. I had error on cwm back in days don't remember what build I've flashed. I'm on twrp for a long time now and suggest you do the same before flashing KK. 2.8.1.0 is very stable for me. Fastboot flash it.
[Nexus S Android Development] Warren_Orange:
Is Slimkat going to any more weeklies? Last one was six weeks ago.

Shame there is no maintainer any more.
[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
And that's the and for KK weeklies. Now we have first LP weekly but not for Crespo. Don't know If it will receive one.

Non touch 6.0.3.4 worked for me. Why to format boot?

[Nexus S Android Development] coolek33:
Wipe cache, dalvick, data (factory reset) and format system flash ROM and gapps. Maybe bad ROM download?
[Nexus S Android Development] BombasMirko:
