Initial Impressions

This is just too tempting, so I'm going to play around with this tonight. A few things so far:

1. Have to say the boot animation is just too sweet!

2. I just ran ART and for the first time on a 4.4 ROM it went smoothly (that alone is impressive). I have tried the dialer, voice commands, camera (did not try to record yet, sorry!), Play, and settings with no FCs. Next I'm going to restore my apps from TB and see what happens. Installing apps does take longer as expected with ART but they open lightning fast.

3. After installing and setting up, the ROM froze up a couple of times. After ART installed, so far so good.

4. Those who might be wondering, the ROM can't be themed as of yet but I can live with that if things work & play well together.

I'll report more stuff after I've had a chance to use this and post a few screenshots in a bit. This is a very nice alpha build that could be labeled as beta. No disrespect but [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] & the SlimTeam seem to be ahead of the game on getting 4.4 going for this phone IMHO. Each build I have tried for CM11 so far has been a nightmare from the get go, and keep in mind I love CyanogenMod as a ROM in general. I'm sure ultimately however they will have 4.4 perfected though. This is no easy task to say the least!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KCJunkman:
is there any guidelines as how to enable ART? each time i tried, the phone kept updating all the apps, and then f/c repeatedly all the process..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
With this ROM it's the same process, just enable it in developer options. The phone will reboot and you will get the usual "android is upgrading, optimizing apps". Takes a while as OP states but things are good after. Like I said, ART just hasn't work on CM11 for me so this a great. Now the next question will be if my normal user apps are going to work. Course I know if one doesn't, it's not the ROM, it's the app's inability to adapt to ART.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] prbassplayer:

I think I'm in love...

Dude u gotta turn off the dock in Nova. Set custom buttons for the nav bar like drawer and whatever else u like.. Itll feel like a nexus device lol also I got a 13730 on antutu a lil bit ago overall I'm loving it as well

That sounds sick. I'm not sure if I'm scrolling past it or something, but I can't find the app drawer when trying to add to the nav bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
If ur using apex or nova it'll be under custom app than nova launcher for apex its custom app than apex actions also click on the picture so u can change it to a system icon so it doesn't look off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
I'll try for the sake of trying, lol, like your setup, nice.

...and when the crap hit the fan I was the only one there...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
Had anybody been able to get the video recording working with this Rom. I tried to remove the camera and gallery apk and replace it with an old gallery apk, but still a no go. I guess this fix is not working any longer? I even tried to mod the Rom prior to flashing and still no go.

On the positive side, I was losing root after mod to build.prop for 213dpi. I found if I moded the build.prop in the zip file prior to flash that this solved this issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] prbassplayer:
Video recording is busted on all 4.4 ROMs
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] prbassplayer:
Oh rlly? Is it just a backport or what? Can you link to the thread so I can take a look when I'm home
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
Yes I can confirm that it works on this Rom. 1216 build beanstalk is the Rom that I am currently using as DD, because the video is working. I tried to change out all the camera/gallery files in Slim with the working files from beanstalk, but it didn't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I already tried the previous methods last night several of us discussed in other threads and they do not work on this particular ROM. Should have reported that but it was late and I fell asleep. Stll pictures do work however. :-p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
Well since all of the Roms are based off CM 11, it makes me wonder what is different? I guess I will have to wait for CM to rebuild the camera for our device, but I am a Rom junky and I am always looking for the next best thing. Since I am currently using a DD that is almost a month old it is making me feel out of date.

By the way thanks for the Build.prop suggestion to change the DPI, it worked perfectly. Now that I have found out how to modify the rom before I install them, it will open up a whole new world for me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] prbassplayer:
It's not as simple as rebuilding camera. The fact that beanstalk video camera works and doesn't on other ROM's means it's not the camera. It's something done elsewhere. Imo msm8660 desperately needs a open source camera driver or a camera wrapper for future proofing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] wvuravens-fan:
So I assume this is not an easy task? Since I am not a developer / programmer, I guess this is something I will not be able to fix. My knowledge is pretty basic in android. Anyway I don't want to hijack the tread for this.

I really like slimkat anyway, it's a nice Rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
I just erased stock camera app and put a 4.2.2 gallery2.apk in system/app. Camera, video and photosphere works. Not new icon though, lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
I just tried it and its a no go for me the video button to record doesn't do anything
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
It is the camera app along with hardware_qcom & msm8660 sources, my unofficial build has video recording and playback of recorded video fully working - has the 3-5 sec delay when recording starts (known issue).

I did do a Slim build with the CM camera I forked weeks ago which has different commits than CM's, commits I added to get it working along with my forked device trees, but with slims source I was unable to get camera video recording working, my conclusion was it being the hardware_qcom sources, I didn't want to spend time sorting it out.

As far as camera wrapper - CM has that in the works for msm8660 found here, so it shouldn't be much longer before we have a fully working camera wrapper.

after using this rom for a week

After using this Rom for a week, I've decided to make this as my DD. I was on ART for a week and no crashes, no issues really. The only issue I really had was that whenever I unplug from my charger, my phone wouldn't go to deep sleep unless I reboot my phone. Besides that everything is solid. Didnt try the camera feature yet because I never use my camera or video recording. This rom is seriously awesome with its small dpi. The deep sleep issue it the only thing that bothers me since it effects the battery life by a lot. Only get like around 45 min - 1 hr of screen time daily which sucks.... Gonna go back to Dalvik mode and try to see if everything stays stable.

For those who wants my kernel information:

Well known issue. Nothing to do with the Rom this wakelock is based off of using some chargers.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1801608

This thread for the Skyrocket (sister device) has an app that will show if the charger you are using is causing the wakelock and preventing deep sleep.

Another solution is to simply reboot after unplugging charger.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joyj112:
Updated to the latest SlimKat (2.3) and I'm happy that my phone is back to deep sleep madness. It's only been a day since I updated and used the same charger ever since I've got this phone. Battery Life (w/deep sleep) is amazing. I'm back to Davik and it runs smoothly. No lag, no issues so far. The other thing that bothers me is that whenever I listen to music and text at the same time, it makes some weird noises. It happened on HellKat and other CM11 Roms, so I'm guessing it's a known issue? Idk, if it is, I'll just wait for an update someday. I listen to like 2-3 hrs of music everyday. Anyways, this rom is amazing!!!

New build up. FYI for those wondering like I have, the reason the theme engine has taken so long to add is because the Slim Team is rebuilding the whole thing from scratch rather than use the old T-Mobile one. Looks like Xposed can help with adding themes which I had no idea until reading another post about it in the N5 Slimkat forum.

Seems the latest build 2.5 is giving me trouble. Won't actually boot or show boot animation. I'm not using CWM like I should be, but it hasn't given me issues for any other 4.4 builds. Anyone else have issues? I'll try more things if you guys aren't experiencing this.

Edit: Flashed CWM for ****s and giggles, same issue. No boot, no animation. Wait long enough it reboots and cycles again.

Edit2: Left it to reboot about 3-4 times. Showed the boot animation but went all funny looking. Looks like what you see when a NES cartridge needs to be cleaned. All wacky like. Eep!

Does the fact that this has reached RC1 status mean that 1080p video record/playback has been resolved? I cannot find it mentioned in the change logs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
That's because for the N5 which is kind of the mother ship of Android now, the camera has worked all along. Works on some other devices also. The changelog is typically a general one. To answer your question my guess is no and I'm sure [MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] will make special mention of it when it happens.

[MENTION=3877985]prbassplayer[/MENTION] Just curious, build 2.5 won't get past the boot animation (Boot animation is just random pixels on the screen, randomly showing SlimKat before it bounces all over the screen, like an old NES game not in right). Any idea how I Can debug that to see whats up? reflashing to 2.4 works great

Installed 2.5 over 2.4 without issues. But every time I stop using my phone it reboots. I could use it for a couple of minutes, or a couple of seconds, doesn't matter how much, as soon as I put it down and screen goes off, the phone reboots. Apart from that, it boots up and stays fine until used again. And everything happens again.

it doesnt seem to boot for me either

clean flash or dirty flash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Aahz Pervect:
I dirty flashed 2.5 over 2.4 and all is well. Did you guys also flash the new Slim GApps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Grichecth:
Yup, Not sure why some people are having 0 issues. I've tried dirty & clean flashes, new slim gapps, uber kernel, flashing from TWRP & flashing from CWM. Can't get it to boot. This is a first for me. I've never had an issue flashing with Slimroms in the past
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
I flashed and it worked

So, a lot of you have issues, and I'm not sure why... This worked flawless for me... Here is what I did, in the EXACT order I did it

Make a backup > Move backup off of phone to SD Card > Via PC, delete EVERYTHING from internal storage > Reboot recovery

> Flash Infamous Super Wipe > Flash Rom, then Minimal Gapps > Reboot Recovery > Reboot System > Settle, then set up

> Reboot recovery > Flash all extras (I.E. Uber Kernel, Killjoy, etc)

I hope this works for you all. I have had issues in the past, but EVERY time, it was my own fault, not the software or device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Grichecth:
I didn't try the Super Wipe, I'll give that a whirl. Other than that, My process is nearly the same. I just don't go back into recovery after.

---------- Post added at 06:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:04 PM ----------

Being the super intelligent person I am, I formatted the internal SD incase it was some random file causing issues but didn't move any of the .zip's off. So until I get home from work & get my data cable, i'm dead in the water. Even recovery is bugging out on me now.. Getting "Android_" once and now CWM just hangs after disabling the version numbers :\

Edit: So.. I think something went wacky with my partitions. I used the Super Wipe and now cache isn't working anymore. Can't install any zip, can't format cache without it locking up. Recovery keeps freezing & taking 5 or 6 times to get into it. Any ideas? Go back to stock and start from scratch perhaps?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] prbassplayer:
Try a different recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tribalartgod:
I would have to agree with you on the recovery. I use TWRP personally. I reinstalled this ROM again, but this time with using the AIO Gapps and intentionally pulling the battery in the middle of the install. (First time with AIO).... Needless to say, I was able to get right back into recovery and flash away. All is smooth.

The issue is NOT the Slim software at all. It's either a recovery that doesn't like the file, bad download of the file, or the user is not following instructions.

Granted, this is based on my own findings/tests.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
I had this happen when using the super wipe scripts (the cache wipe did it to mine).

Loading another recovery didn't work. The only recovery that would fully load was CWM 5.X, but it would freeze whenever wiping data or cache. Never tried to flash a rom with it, but it wouldn't work with anything recent anyway.

I used Kies to return my phone to stock. Odin might work as well, but I didn't try using that to flash a rom, only recovery. Keep in mind that Kies will wipe your internal sd card. If you want steps on how to use Kies with AOSP (actually, download mode is all you need) I can PM you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Grichecth:
Thanks! but I already used Odin back to stock Telus.

Tried 2.5 again, nadda. Perhaps it's because its a telus handset? Going back to 2.4 for the time being :\
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] monkeybuttons:
The wipe scripts were meant for Touchwiz based ROMs, not AOSP. That's the issue.
