BT Evolution?

Hello, i'm still using Slimbean (i went back about 4 weeks ago) because i use a lot my Bluetooth Handsfree system in my car, and lisen to my music over Bluetooth, can anyone tell me if the freeze problem, when making phonecalls over bluetooth is gone in the newer builds.

This is the only problem i had on SlimKat. I can't find anything about it in the changelogs, some people say it's an AOSP (4.4.2) problem, we have to wait 4.4.3, is this right?

Thank you all, this ROM is great

PS; when willl SlimKat go 4.4.3? Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dexter93:
heh.. bluetooth..

here's the deal: aosp switched to their version of bluetooth stack, which is still wonky. We've tried many stuff and got it to work on most car recipients ( a bit before stable 5). Basically ended up to a point where adding support for one type of receiver it would break lots of others. so, we found a combo that works for *most* of devices that are used on cars and stayed with that. It is a 4.4.2 fault

The next version of android isn't announced yet ( expecting it this june). Slim will jump on it when the source is made public on AOSP trees
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tetakpatak:
It is unfortunatelly Google's KitKat codes fault: the initial idea was to make very battery-friendly bluetooth.

That in fact good idea turned into the nightmare for all KK development projects.

I use dual boot and V6.1 (4.3.1) as my secondary system so I reboot into it when I need reliable BT
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] appro77:
I'm using Slim-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4063. Despite having the battery light disabled in Display/Battery Light, the battery light is still showing on low battery and when I'm charging the phone. Is anyone else seeing this problem?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tetakpatak:
Is it worthy of being called "a problem"?

Is the in-call dialer working on SlimKat?

Every AOSP based ROM I have used won't allow me to hang up the device or use the in-call menu. It appears as totally stuck and frozen, yet the call continues.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] appro77:
Ok if you want to play with semantics, let's call it an issue. So are others seeing the "issue" or not??
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] The_Steph:
unecasenmoins,

I had a lot of trouble using my BT car kit (Parrot Minikit+) with a lot of AOSP/Omini/CM ROM based lately, but as I was tired of constantly yelling in my car to make me understood by people at the other end of the line when I was putting my mobile on speakerphone, I reactivated my car kit a few days ago. And magically no more BT trouble for me. I was able to listen to music (crappy sound though), making more than one call without having to restart my mobile to reset the BT stack. Slimkat weekly 5.2 is making wonders.

"C'est la fête quoi" ;o)
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] nnay:
Hello, I see some commits about zzmoove governor on the last 5.2. My question: does the the governor is included in our weeklies?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] unecaseenmoins:
Thank you Le Steph ;)

Merci beaucoup!!!

I'll give it a try when i dan't need my phone next week, this weekend I think.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] rock.n.dave:
In my case, BT is working properly in stable version, both calls and music. I tried 5.2 and it failed on the 2nd or 3rd call (i didn't hear the other side on calls until reboot)

I have had the same issue with the last few stable releases of Slim (4.3 and 4.4). I haven't seen it reported anywhere, so suspect it could be related to my hardware rather than the ROM itself. The problem is that outgoing calls often 'crash'. I dial a number and instantly the phone app crashes, and I'm taken back to the dialler. If I try again and again the call will eventually connect (after 10 or 15 tries). I wonder if this is related to my older baseband, DMF1.

Does anyone else have this issue? What baseband are people using? And how can I update my baseband without creating issues for myself?

Thanks.

What is surfaceflinger and why does it use so more battery in weekly ROMs but not on official ROMs
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dexter93:
lots of ways. the best: grab the latest firmware from sammobile for your device, extract the tar and flash the modem with heimdall

surfaceflinger is the display server of android
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=273258]matheprat[/MENTION] yes, and if you are not familiar with Heimdall, you can also use Modem Changer Tool
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] matheprat:
It turns out it was related to a rogue Tasker script, at some point I had blocked all outgoing calls. Unblocked and outgoing calls work fine now.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tetakpatak:
[MENTION=2709464]dexter93[/MENTION] I was finally able to localize where the problem with contacts editig has came from:

My dual boot devil2 kernel has broken it. Only totally clean flash of SlimKat helps. Wiping /system, cache and dalvik cache and flashing SlimKat and SlimGapps isn't enough. Data must be formatted to make it work again.

Thank you for trying to help to resolve that. It wasn't ROM related problem after all. Weird that reflashing the build doesn't help anymore. Once devil2 kernel gets flashed, it screws the Contacts editing.

[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] InTents:
Love all the work being done.

I notice in the latest weekly that Touchwake is not available due to the kernel not supporting it. I am using the stock kernel and this feature did work in the previous version.

Is this a feature that will be later supported again?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] firoz3321:
I am using the SlimKat rom and is smooth and stable.

The only issue i am facing is that the screen goes off while making a call and i cannot get the call menu untill inend the call.

I understand there is some issue with proximity sensor. But let me know how to disable the screen turning off while in call.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] InTents:
Hi Firoz,

On the latest weekly, I have no issue with the proximity sensor and making calls.

Can I ask what version you are on and what kernel you are using?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] firoz3321:
I am attaching the screen shot of the version.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] evanovici:
+1, same issues, 2 weeklies ago, happening for 5 or 6 versions now...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] firoz3321:
2 new bugs found in my mobile :

1. After taking few photos the camera app freezes. I need to restart the device to access camera again.

2. After the restart the navigation buttons are activated. In settings the feature is disabled. I need to enable and disable again to turnoff the buttons.

Does upgrading to new weekly solve my issues?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] dexter93:
1. Known

2. Need logs

Per proximity: someone log it please
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] firoz3321:
Sorry for being a noob. How to Log?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] firoz3321:
I upgraded to latest weekly 5.6

The call issue remains :(

request: flashable zip kernel file

hi guys...

sorry to ask here but im new with this rom...

im now on official build 5 android 4.4.2... i would like to request a flashable zip kernel file for this rom because i want to try custom rom... if anything not so well, i can go back to the original kernel without having to reflash the rom...

any help would be much appreciated... tyvm in advance guys...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Azhery:
do you mean custom kernel??
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] izz.amizan:
tyvm for your reply...

i mean this rom kernel... slimkat kernel...

very much appreciated if you can help me...
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Azhery:
if you want slimkat kernel..you can try extract 'boot.img' from slimkat rom zip..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] izz.amizan:
ok... and how am i going to flash the boot.img through recovery?

btw, in your opinion what is the best custom kernel for slimkat rom?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Azhery:
you can flash it via odin..for my opinion..devil kernel and agni pure cm..or thor kernel..
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] tetakpatak:
You can flash boot.img with Heimdall directly, or compress it to tar file and flash with Odin. Best kernel for SlimKat is SlimKat's stock kernel.

[MENTION=4922501]Azhery[/MENTION] Devil2 kernel is the fastest, but it will break Contacts editing. Try to swap name with surname and contact will get deleted. I use devil2 as I need dual boot, but it is unfortunately a bit nasty thing. Yet, the new contact can be saved.

Is anyone else having problems sending mms with this rom? The message sends but the receiver only gets the included text but not the picture. I've tried Handcent, Chomp and Textra all with the same result.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] InTents:
I have no issue with MMS.

What version are you running?

Do you have a logcat?

When this was working before, what version were you running and what have you changed since then?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] appro77:
If you have no issue, I think I might just do a clean flash. I'm running build 5 official 4063. Do you know if the latest nightly is stable or should I just flash Official?
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] InTents:
Yes, do a clean flash before reporting bugs.

I am running weekly build 5.6 and I have no issues.

Not yet confident to make the jump to 5.8 with all the commits, waiting on any bug reports.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] appro77:
Thanks. I'll flash 5.6.

Sure why wouldn't it?

Until ART is the mandatory executioon engine, Xposed will run fine.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] prof123:
Yes, xposed run well.

I'm currently on 5.8. And it's running perfectly well.

Thanks Slimrom Team.
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] maelfilk:
No theme engine included?:confused: At least i didn't find any in latest nightly (5.9).
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Android-Andi:
No, have not seen someone told it is included :p

SlimRoms is working on it, but it is still WIP. Please note that Stability comes first on SlimRoms - some problems needs to be fixt before we can add it.

It will be included at some point, be patient.

pls let us know when theme engine for slimkat wil be released..eagerly waiting

thank u
[Galaxy Note II Original Android Development] Ironwrung:
I've also been waiting for the theme engine for like.... Yeah, I also miss the old customization options like transparent status bar... I mean, the best things about custom roms is the advanced level of customization they unlock for their users besides speed and stability optimizations. Most Xposed modules are no longer working with the most recent rom updates. Anyway thank you developers for keeping us up to date but still if there is a slight chance that you could include the old customization options, please do

Issue with contacts

Hi everyone, I just switched to Slimkat from TW 4.4.2 and I created a contact backup with 4.4.2 before flashing. Slimkat doesn't recognize it! :-/ it is the official android backup so I did expect it to work... HELP!!! Any way out?

If your ROM works just fine, you will have no benefits of upgrading. KitKat has bit smoother UI, that's all. Equally: KK has tons of problems with Bluetooth.

I had lots of problems too with this, you're not alone :). Just that since I flashed beta 1.9 and installed the latest AIO package, and right after JB + Camera, that the camera works.. From the moment I use stock camera app or Focal it starts bugging and/or crashes too (can't connect to camera).
