So, I take you are using SuperSU, not the included Superuser in the Settings of SlimKat?

I am using the embedded Superuser and haven't encountered any issues, or at least nothing to make me switch. Also, to get rid of the annoying pop-ups, I set it so that it allows root permissions to any apps that ask for it. In the event that I see a strange app being granted root access (as it was the case with a stupid game that I downloaded via an in-game advert, anyway), I deny it afterwards or uninstall the app altogether. There, a little unrequested story for you. I am so talkative... :silly:

Woohoo! Thanks a lot!

I noticed that the apps I remove via SlimCenter's SlimSizer come back after an upgrade, so your mysettings.sh comes in very handy. Quite an odd naming scheme, though. You should call it 91-gotohelluselessapps.sh :silly:.

Oh, right!

But, if the screen is off and a call comes in but you would rather do something else, you can't do anything on the phone until you accept or reject the call. So... my suggestion still stands. :D

That's what happens if your carrier doesn't support this feature (whatever it actually really does!), I guess. So... I don't think it's a reason to worry about.

---------- Post added at 02:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

Well, then perhaps you can redirect this to the devs, too? Having the possibility to disable fast dormancy would have a positive effect on battery life for us, those who are on cr*ppy carriers that never heard of such an awesome feature... this would benefit us all, I think.

I was looking for a way to disable Fastdormacy some time ago and but I haven't found any solution:

The method described in the link does not work on AOSP, because the database that has to be modified, doesn't exist in AOSP.

GokhanMoral once wrote an app for the S3 , which does what is described on the page. It works on TouchWiz S4 too.

Could I ask if the "Profiles" section is supposed to be in the current RC2 release?

I only ask as from the feature diagram on the Slim website it's under General which I cannot find so I can only assume it refers to the ROM on 4.3?

I've used many profile apps but have always found these built into the ROM along with "Quiet Hours" to work the best.

Many thanks and BTW I'm not asking for an ETA or anything just if it's there and I'm being stupid :)

If you are in an area with a good signal you probably won't notice much difference.

You are the first one to report this, I doubt it's a ROM issue.

If this keeps happening with newly made pictures try formatting the SD. Once a picture file is corrupt it doesn't matter if you use QuickPic, Gallery or whatever app.

SlimKat RC2~ kT Kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] OmniSlyfer:
My personal feedback

Hi guys,

I'm here to do some feedback about SlimKat RC2.

I've to warn you: my english isn't perfect (so apologize me for my errors) and I'm not a pro of modding. So apologize me if this bug report seems stupid to you. It's the best I can do.

Before continuing, the answer is yes: i've already done a full wipe, wipe dalvik and wipe chace. But I continue to have some problems and bugs to report. I'm going to make a list of all of them.

Main bug: my i9505 seems doesn't charge while it's turned off (but it does). If I turn it off and I put it on charge, the big battery icon (with the white circle inside) appears, but then nothing happens. It's stucked and no led is turned on. But if I turn it on after a couple of hours, it's fully charged.

There is also a big problem with the recharging time, both when the device in on or off: it's rly slow. Too slow! So slow that when i play heavy games, it isn't able to recharge. Enabling the fast recharge option in the kernel extras emproves the situation. But i don't know if it's normal. I've no OC on my processor. I don't think it's a problem of the cable, because it was fine when I was with CarbonRom 4,3,1

Secondary problem: always about battery. I've noticed a rly big battery drain while i'm running heavy programs, like benchmarks and games (RR3, EW3, Anomaly2). When I was with the CarbonRom, the battery drain wasn't so drastic! I can consume my whole battery in less then one hour (or something like that), and this is insane! Also because i'm using a battery-friendly kernel build (SRV v1, with limited clock frequencies to 1674mhz).

Minor problem: I cannot find an option to deactivate (or reduce the duration) the backlight of the hiddens buttons (menu and back button). And this is I problem for me because i hate to see them illuminated whenever I touch the screen. Also shouldn't they light up only when touched?

Minor problem: the scrolling isn't smooth. Scrolling facebook, a website with chrome or the contact list presents micro-stuttering that makes scrolling laggy (I hope you get the idea).

Minor problem: Whenever I turn my S4 on, WhatsApp gives me an error (easily avoidable), telling that the date of my phone isn't correct. And it's true, as the date of the phone is always reset on power, only to be corrected when the phone syncs with the internet.

These are all the problems / bugs i've found in these 3/4 days of use. I hope it will be usefull to you.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adl:
Regarding backlight use this app to turn off the lights: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43256528&postcount=1

Regarding smoothness and batterylife: use Alucard kernel, it´s much better imho:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2590246

Use the " Kernel-Alucard-V2.6.3gfe For 4.4 AOSP version" Version.

Regarding the charging bug: it´s because you have the new bootloader (has something to do with Knox / Samsung)

This shouldn´t be ROM related but not 100% sure.

Regarding the "time bug" with whatsapp: use a rootexplorer and go to system/bin and delete the "time_deamon" file. Reboot and whatsapp is running fine.

Hope that helps mate! :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] wizard83:
My buttons backlight turns off automatically after 5 seconds I don't touch the screen

Scrolling Facebook or chrome is smooth, only little lags Sometimes on Facebook, but much much better than Sammy roms, but surely it depends by Facebook app that is really bad write for android, scrolling chrome, contact list or sms is very fast and smooth

Something weird has happened right now... I was watching some YouTube videos on my phone and suddenly, I realises that the volume is very low, although it's maxxed out... Then I realise the sound is actually coming from the EARPIECE, not the LOUD SPEAKER!!! Media volume, ringtone volume adjustment sounds... it's all coming out via the earpiece! :eek:

A simple reboot returned everything to normal. I've no idea what might have caused it. This is the first time something like this has EVER happened to me!

But hey. Keep reading!

Now that I think of it, wouldn't that be an freaking awesome feature to have? Just toggle the media sound to come out via loud speaker or earpiece (more like HTC One's front facing so speakers). What do you think, Tylog? Is this idea worthy to be passed on to the devs?! :D :D :D

Just think of it. The earpiece is clearly powerful enough and more than capable to deliver crisp & clear sound to the viewer (say, you're watching a movie), without disturbing anyone else in the vicinity (as it normally would be the case for the loudspeaker, since you'd have to turn it up to high volume levels in order for you to be able to actually hear something, due to the fact that the sound is going out in the opposite direction, not towards you!!!).

Really. Something like a simple toggle somewhere in the Settings - Sounds. Media volume output : loudspeaker (normal) or earpiece (HTC One emulation :D ).

My mind would be totally blown if such a feature is being implemented! :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] OmniSlyfer:
Yeah you helped me thx :)

Now, i've fixed whatsapp and backlights problem...

The problem is the kernel. I've got some problems flashing it. My galaxy s4 failed to boot 2 times after the flash before loading SlimKat (I think it's a problem with TWRP recovery), and now it's all fine, on device info i can see that i'm running alucard kernel, but... is it normal that i've both Ktweaker and STweaks apps installed on my device? :confused: And after booting the O.S., it tells me that KTweaker settings have been loaded?

Well i'm not expert about kernels, it's the first time I'm flashing a new kernel, but I though that KTwaker was an app ONLY for KT kernel... i'm confused :eek:

However, about the recharge bug when the phone is off... i'm sure it's a ROM problem, coz when i was with 4.3 carbon rom NIGHTLY I never had this problem...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] track909:
Can you confirm that SlimKat rom don't have theme chooser?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] OmniSlyfer:
Yeah with the new kernel, only Facebook scroll is lagging...

However yes, the backlights turn off after 5/6 seconds, but if i'm surfing on internet or playing a game, they are always on! And I don't like it :/

Now, thanks to the app i've just downloaded, i've fixed this problem :) I've turned them off forever :P

You... don't... need... a freaking... kernel... cleaning... tool...

When you flash kernel B on top of kernel A, kernel A is pretty much flushed so kernel B can fit in :).

I've flashed so many kernels throughout the time, on the devices I had (about a dousin until now)... without using any kernel cleaning tools (basically, scripts). No problems :). You really don't need a kernel cleaning script to flash before you actually flash (your kernel)...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] steveria79:
Tool?

SlimKat RC2~ kT Kernel
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adl:
Well, he flashed Alucard Kernel and the KT Tweak app was still there. These things will be taken care of if you flash Kernel clean script before, so this script is doing something good.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tylok:
It is only logical that the tweak app is still there as it is an APK in the system folder like all other apks that you need like phone an so on. IF you want it gone. Remove it from the ZIP file before flashing and flash a kernel of your liking...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] adl:
That's what I do, I take out all stuff from KT Kernel and put in everything from Alucard Kernel, but if you just want to switch Kernels the cleaning script is useful.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Formhault:
Yeah... the cleaning script probably erases the kernel modules (which another kernel flash would clean prior to the actual installation

ANYWAY

) and, maybe, searches for additional kernel-related apps (such as FauxControl and KTweaker) and deletes them, as well (which you can do with a file explorer afterwards

ANYWAY

).

EDIT : I just flashed the kernel cleaning script prior to reflashing the kernel myself! Boy do I feel like Superman!!!!!

I previously uninstalled the native android launcher so Nova avoid to launch and I'm stuck here.

Is there a way to switch from ART to Dalvik via recovery mode to avoid wiping and erase all data??

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] HANDSY:
Can't you just reflash the rom without wiping the data. It may load it back as dalvik.

Try adb under recovery:

mount /data

Keeping two launchers installed is a basic security imho :)
