Have you tried return back to sammy stock and then back to Slim? As you are probably the chosen one for this bug it must be something you still have in system and was not deleted between flashes or it is connected with one of your apps (maybe not after clean install though)

---------- Post added at 03:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:09 PM ----------

As Slim team suggest when trying to find a bug - try installation without gapps
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Sounds like a silly suggestion to me, but hey they are the experts.

I can imagine they suggest using the Slim gapps but to flash without gapps sounds like asking for trouble.

EDIT: found this on the Slim site:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Yes. Slim Gapps.

Files not present in the Slim gapps... oh, perhaps Apollo made you think that? I added that to the script when Apollo started to be included in SlimKat (which no longer happened one build later :laugh:). But the gapps are the Slim ones.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Yes Apollo and Books for example.

I was just wondering
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
That sounds hilarious at first, but it actually makes sense if you think about it. But... I doubt it very much that the cause for a problem like the one I am explaining (Slim Recents related) is from the Gapps package.

When s3icc0 said manually flashing /system is a thing, I did so and reflashed only SlimKat. Not even the Gapps afterwards. And... what do you know... the bug is still there... :cyclops:

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------

Everything that's in the .sh file, I added by looking at what's in /system/app (and useless for me). So... chances are Books was in there at some point :D. Oh well...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
I meant this: 3A. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.

It is on slimroms.net in the Report Bug menu
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Oh, I see. No problems, but those two things are totally unrelated :D.

Anyway... Yeah, the bug happens even without the Gapps (or any Gapps) installed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
Maybe one last try: what is your setting under: Developer options -> Apps ???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
I'm not seeing any line specifying "Apps" in the name in Developer options... :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Guys,

Does any off you know a an easy way to change the background of the settings and recents screens from boring black to a custom picture.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
There was this .png file you could replace somewhere in /system as far as I know... but that was for Android 4.1. Googled this, for Android 4.4... nope... Oh and this new look Google Search has got sucks :(

Just found a nice app to make a slightly blurred and darkened version of my launcher background and I use it now as lockscreen.

Looks nice, specially the unlock transition when the screen just brightens up and springs into focus is nice.

But now I want to use this blurred image as background in other places as well.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Thanks that a wallpaper changer, thats the easy part.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
First, by formatting /system you actually meant not installing Gapps, now Chamber of Secrets = Apps... Go get some sleep, man... :silly:

Is anyone else having trouble with Wi-Fi briefly disconnecting / reconnecting?

I have my router covering almost all of my apartment, and also a neighbour's Wi-Fi I have saved in my phone. Just now I realised that I was connected to the neighbour's Wi-Fi, not my router, as I always am connected to.

And, while playing games online, I am disconnected for a split second. I see "Connection failed", pull down the notification tray (quick settings), and see I am connected to my router, but the signal indicators are orange for 2 more seconds, then go white. Which means... the connection was dropped for half a second, then re-established.

I am using KT kernel... But have been using KT kernel with Google Edition ROM (by Danvdh) for the past couple of weeks and had no issue :confused:.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
The ROM automatically selects the strongest signal. So if you are in a part of your apartment where your neighbours signal is stronger and you have it you're allowed WiFi networks it will switch. Making that switch will take at least a second.

You can solve it by either remove your neighbours network from your WifF list or use an app like "WiFi Prioritizer" to force the phone to connect to your own network when available.

Bugs so far

Hi guys,

I am on SlimBean 2.2 and it is the best rom I could find for our beloved S4. Amazing job, congrats!

I intend to install SlimKat as soon as possible however, I'd like to know if the following features are working fine:

1. Wifi tethering

2. Front camera (no greeen lines)

3. General mic volume (so some complains about been to low)

4. Mic on voip applications

5. Gallery, deleting files error and editing crash (shappen effect)

6. Randons reboots

7. Boot logo hanging

None of this problems are listed as Known Issues in the OP but a saw a lot of complains all over the thread.

FYI, I am already on MKE modem and with old bootloader.

Besides it, is there any other stopper for this rom? Hope none! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] vpnair:
I'm on clean install on beta 1.1. Only issue for me is 1 (no wifi hotspot but tethering works fine). Haven't experienced any of the other complaints. No reboots, no hangs. Only issue is unresponsive touch screen on ac power if you let phone die completely (solution is reboot to Samsung logo then plug in power). Don't know about number 4 (don't have VoIP app). I'm on old bootloader (pre Knox), and mj5 modem. I find it to be the best combination.

Make a nandroid then try kitkat. Worst case scenario you waste 20min.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
A short info about the status.

At the moment we look that all supported devices are ready for SlimKat. Today the most missing phones become the update and now begins the work under the hood.

We merged 4.4.1 before a few days and now 4.4.2 so the next build will be 4.4.2

We have weekly status so in the future every week one build.

Useful and important things first ...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
It just happened again now. But when I pulled down the notification tray... I realised it must have reconnected to the same Wi-Fi (my home) again, which is like 5 meters away (so >70% signal). Definetly more than what my neighbour's Wi-Fi is giving me, but both SSIDs operate on the same channel, so... not sure if that plays a role. Long story short, the phone didn't connect to the second network, but reconnected to the same one. I have a degree in splitting the thread in 10000, or whatever the saying goes.

There used to be a "Wi-Fi Priority" thing under Settings - Wi-Fi. But it has vanished since some builds ago.

This is sh*t, really. At subway stations, we have free Wi-Fi; well, basically two routers, each emitting on 4 SSIDs, or something like that. As you can probably imagine... the signal's never 100% steady. And I must login on the service webpage every time I reconnect to the Wi-Fi. Now I see why I wasn't able to connect to any of the four SSID's at subway today... cause the phone was having a hard time deciding which one to connect to! :mad:

If this really is a feature... there should be an on/off switch for it! Like "Prioritise via new super cool algorythm" or "Behave as before" :silly:... [MENTION=5047159]Tylog[/MENTION] :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Well all I can say is I'm using WiFi Prioritizer, you can set the prefered SSID and signal levels when to switch.

Works perfectly for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Hope it has a feature to lock a SSID into place a.k.a never disconnect from X Wi-Fi to connect to Y Wi-Fi under no circumstances.

Otherwise I can pretty much say bye bye to using Wi-Fi at subway, since no matter what the priorities would be, because the signals interfere and overlap with each other so much... you know... :(

Will have to test, though. *freaks out*
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Alternatively you can try WiFi Web Login
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
I already had saved in my credentials and just press "LOG IN" in the browser... :)

You're missing the point. Having 4 SSIDs around, ready to disconnect from X SSID and connect to Y SSID in the blink of an eye... again and again... I wouldn't even be able to surf the web :(.

[MENTION=5047159]Tylog[/MENTION] there needs to be an option for this in the Wi-Fi settings... And why isn't a change as this mentioned in the changelog? :confused: :eek:

LOL - I was trying to help only - When I am trying to brake into any kind of problem I am always first trying to reduce possible inputs to minimum - that is why not to install gapps, as recents is rom feature. For the "Apps" see the screenshot again and maybe you will find it (of course Chamber of secrets is not Apps ... so try to look maybe a bit higher).

maybe my english is that bad ...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Just... nevermind...

The Recent Apps bug is there. I've seen it for almost a month now. Don't tell me it's because of some funky setting, cause there are no settings for customizing Recent Apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] s3icc0:
... but there are settings for killing apps ... so if the app is killed immediatelly after you left the app it will not be in recents ... that was my point.

nevermind - I am no longer interested
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
You meant "Background process limit" or "Don't keep activities"? Even if that would be the case... the app should not show up in Recent Apps in the second attempt to open Recent Apps. That would mean a killed app is revived on the second opening of Recent Apps...

Do you have problems with Gravitybox? After turning it on navigation bar shows up but in setting its not enabled. I need to turn it on and off. But after reboot its showing up again. And only SlimKats tiles settings works. Changes in gravitybox has no effect on them...

Twrp recovery,Clean install, reboot after turning on xposed and gravity , on 3.2 everything was normal..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] ASD2003ru:
Confirm problem.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
GravityBox has received some updates since SlimKat 3.2 - quite a lot of changes, in fact.

Of course some settings may not work. Especially the settings that have the same result as a built-in feature of the ROM (such as, you guessed it, QuickSettings tiles).

You can use GravityBox to its full extent only on simple ROMs, such as Google Edition or AOSP-based ROMs (with no extensive modifications, like what SlimKat and CyanogenMod bring). In the event that you use GravityBox on a full-of-features ROM (such as SlimKat), expect that some settings don't work properly.

GravityBox on ROMs such as SlimKat is said to unleash hell. I haven't experienced any issues myself, but if my phone suddenly starts spewing fire, I'll know what to do...

The nav bar coming back to life out of the blue... I too have experienced it, last night, while watching a video on YouTube and all the sudden, the nav bar was there. I thought I did a swipe gesture or something :laugh:.

What I did was I went in GravityBox - Navigation bar tweaks and turned off & on the Master Switch, unchecked & checked again "Enable navigation bar" and modified all three dimensions (bottom of the screen) : added 2-3, then reverted back to 0. If that alone doesn't work, go into Settings Navigation - Navigation bar, enable and disable the navigation bar there. That did the trick for me yesterday. Oh and reboot, perhaps.

Pull down the notification bar (QuickSettings). Enable GPS, Bluetooth, Sync... something like that. Or, just enable Wi-Fi. Then, very quickly, hold down on a tile (like, say, Wi-Fi) to enter the Wi-Fi menu. Notice the (extremely) lagginess? I do. And it hurts. Happens quite often... :(

I didn't wanna do a screen recording, because chances are it would have caused a bit of stuttering, so... stuttering on top of stuttering... :silly:

Instead, I used another phone's camera to record the lag I am talking about, live.

Here is how smooth it is on a Galaxy Nexus (latest SlimBean).

Here is how laggy it is on my Galaxy S4 (latest SlimKat). <-- notice the lagginess... :(

In this specific case, the problem is that the phone (S4 with SlimKat) can't do both things at the same time (enable Wi-Fi and render the screen - to enter the Wi-Fi menu), while on the Galaxy Nexus (SlimBean), it does both things at the same time, very good.

It never was this laggy before. And the thing is... it doesn't apply only here (pull down -> enable something -> go in...). Because of this thing, the phone lags so much when I play a YouTube video with Viral, that I must wait >30 seconds for it to recover (or give up and reboot). But the scenario presented in the videos above was the easiest to replicate & record.
