Does this build include the CM quick access ribbon that replaces power widgets in the notification drawer?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] MrMarkEdward:
Install and see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Phoneguy589:
Thanks for bringing us the build. Installed the dark mms and all is buttery smooth. For a new build it's runs really smooth and can't wait til the next build.

Been running the ROM for about 5 hours now with no issues.. Very stable..

edit: I would like to know the difference between the AIO gapps and the PA gapps without having to flash them and see if anyone could be helpful with that info

I'll have to give this a run, downloading now will report back with any issues. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] mbc663:
I've always been confused about this...Why do people feel the need to let other people know they are flashing a rom? Do you think anyone really cares what your deciding to do with your phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] PapaMag:
Another thing of wonderous beauty. Do you really thing I care that you are confused. :rolleyes:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] CZ Eddie:
Twice now I've rebooted my phone, and at the unlock screen, I get no touch control at all. Nothing happens when I try to slide the unlock slider. Or do a pulldown, or press a reboot menu option.

I used TWRP 2.6.3.1 to install.

Anyone else having this problem or is one of my TB restored apps messing things up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Phoneguy589:
Only issue I've had was rebooting and getting stuck on the Samsung S4 screen. In using CWM OUDhs. Music player playback via Bluetooth is glitchy but using Pandora is fine. I'm trying to find an AOSP browser that has incognito but I can use chrome if needed. Other thing I don't care for is the KitKat dialer. I still like the touchwiz dialer followed by the 4.3, hope someone can mod the 4.3 one to work on 4.4+

Sent from my At&t Galaxy S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] CZ Eddie:
This commit from CM was supposed to fix the hang at the Galaxy S4 splash screen. Hopefully it'll be added to this ROM, if it hasn't already:

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/52836/

Agreed on the dialer. Hate it and the new contacts arrangement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] Phoneguy589:
I went and swiped one of my contacts to call someone and deleted the contract lol. Only took me one time to learn not to do that again. Thanks for the link man, I'll look into it. This is my fav 4.4.1 out so far. Also just got gravity box working along with viper 4 android :D

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] KINGDROID25:
Its abt time!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Original Android Developme] CZ Eddie:
EDIT#2 it was just me messing with the gapps package that caused problems. I flashed with an untouched gapps package and everything is good now.

I can't seem to install the 1.3 release. I do a full wipe including /data in OUHS CWM recovery.

But the SlimKat install can't get past the initial setup. The screen after WiFi setup, it crashes with "Unfortunately, Setup Wizard has stopped".

This happens regardless of whether I set up the WiFi or not.

I also tried a second flash with the same results.

Anyone get 1.3 installed after a clean wipe?

Edit, I just remembered I removed a bunch of apks from the Gapps. That might have screwed something up. I'll try again without Gapps.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blk_jack:
Please note these builds are under heavy development!

Please note: SlimKat and KitKat in general is in an early stage. Still some apps are not compatible

4.4 mini-FAQ

Q) Root doesn't work!

A) From a clean build you need to enable root access for Superuser itself. This is different from 4.2.2 in which Superuser by default had root access on a new install. To do this, go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. If an app attempts to request root access before Superuser itself has access, it may cause problems with that app in the future where root requests are silently denied.

Q) Titanium Backup isn't restoring apps!

A) Change the backups folder to storage/emulated/legacy.

Known Issues

Navigation bar recents button sometimes needs to be pressed twice

Lockscreen when carousel animation is enabled dragging the camera icon messes the animation

Icons on global menu are sometimes a bit distored....not much

Network mode tile does not always work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
WOHOO!!!!! WELCOME BACK!!!!! :D:laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knightsh:
Glad to see this. Only might want to name thread SlimKat not SlimBean. You know, since it's 4.4.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blk_jack:
Good catch, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knightsh:
Downloaded and installed a little while ago. No problems whatsoever. Set up and been playing with. Again, no problems here either. Thanks blk-jack! Only thing I don't see is TRDS!! Coming soon ??

Edit:ran all day today at work. Good battery life, good cell reception and LTE when in that area. Very pleased with this build.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] duhitsrandy:
weird prob tonight. phone "died" from 53% battery and took forever to get back on. wont charge past 0% and the touchscreen wont work while in rom. touch screen is fine once im in the recovery thought
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Power it off and let it charge for several hours. See if that fixes it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Bowmanspeer:
I'm rubbing my eyes as I can't believe what I'm reading! Wow! Can't wait to give this a go! Sadly, it could be a few days before I have time to go slimkat.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CyReNiUsX:
Nice ROM so far, very nice in fact. Few things though. Doesn't read my SD Card (exFat). When you power down phone while its charging it will show battery charging screen for a few seconds then boots up. Doesn't show Galaxy S4 boot screen when it does that. When it finishes loading the phone is completely unresponsive. Only when you shut down while charging though. Not sure if it's happening to anybody else. Did a FULL wipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tylog:
Yes,TRDS is coming :)

Tapatalk SlimKat 4.4.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
I have to say this. Compared to all the other custom KK ROMs I've tried, SlimKat is different. For one thing, I note the different screen configuration that, while taking some getting used to, is still something that's growing on me. I'll see how it performs battery-wise, particularly with ART enabled, but I can definitely see why this is a favorite of some Android users.

One note: Your SlimOTA keeps saying the stable build is an update to the weekly beta. Is this intentional?

Finally, one question. I do note that SlimKat uses a white title color instead of the standard teal. Is this something that can be changed or customized?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tylog:
Thank you for your feedback:)

We know about the updater and will fix it, if you become the update message go to settings, apps, all apps , slimcenter and disable there the notification.

The white colour can't be change, only with another theme, in the future a new theme engine comes, then you can change it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rauch:
Give ktoonz kernel a shot. I believe it works there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] knightsh:
Same problem here. Running great till this happened. I turned off last night to charge. Picked up this morning and headed to work. When I touched the power button the screen came on like if it was asleep. But the screen was unresponsive. I held the power button a few seconds and it booted, well tried to. It stuck at the "galaxy s 4" splash screen. Had a hard time trying to mess with it while driving. Managed to pull the battery. Got into recovery and wiped cache/dalvik just to try. Again stuck at "galaxy s 4" splash screen. Ended up reflashing once at work(dirty flash) and got the same result. Had to restore my backup to use at work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CZ Eddie:
I'm coming over from AT&T 4.4 KitKat to see if you guys were experiencing my issues and it looks like you are.

Booting up to the lockscreen and the screen doesn't recognize swipes or presses of fingers. Only happens when rebooting while charging.

And of course, the getting stuck at Galaxy S4 splash screen which is happening on AOSP & stock 4.4. But more on AOSP it seems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Rauch:
Oddly enough, I have yet to see this.

On 4.3, I had a few times with getting stuck at the splash screen, which was presumably a kernel issue.

Builds are currently using CM's kernel. Try Ktoonsez's for the time being. Quite a few modifications and reverts between all the kernels lately. It'll take some time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CZ Eddie:
edit, wrong subforum
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ihateDISCO:
anyway to get the home button to answer calls really missing it from 4.3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DLUX24:
Look on page 17, he discusses that problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cosmos10040:
The clock app is broken it seems. The alarm never rings it always says missed. The time does not update correctly on the navbar too. Can I fix this on my own?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MovieGene:
I had noticed that post, however this was a clean install, and the navbar resizes after every reboot.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Specialist88:
OK this is a really smooth ROM. One question. Where is the setting for where you kill all recent apps, more like the task manager? I know it is under Settings but forgot where. Thanks so much for this ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You generally don't want to ever do that. It's an inefficient use of the system resources and will cause more problems that it solves. It's really a last ditch effort to save the system when something is misbehaving, but only one step shy of a simple restart.

There are options in the settings to have it not keep recent apps in memory or to limit how many recent opperations can run in the background. Those are in the devlopment settings at the bottom of the menu in SlimBean. I think they are in the same place in SlimKat but I don't have that ROM loaded righ tnow so I can't check to be sure. But I'm 99% certain the options have been added.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Delicate Donut:
Am I able to save my pics to my external with this rom? Or is it not possible on kit kat. Hasn't worked with any other rom ive tried, not sure if I'm missing something, thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Yes you can. Its in the camera settings menu.

Sent from your phone. You should be more careful where you leave that thing.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:47 PM ----------

"NOTE: For dirty flashers it can happen that the navigation bar size is suddenly bigger. If this happens to you just go into navigation bar settings and reset them to default one time. This is due of a fix in the navigation bar heights. After that all is back to normal. This happens only to dirty flashers!!!!!!"
