Just checking but is there no theme chooser on here as well as no dark slim?? I don't see it on mine but the op says original dark slim. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sam.balia1012:
good to know

thank you
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Themes and dark slim are not available on this ROM...yet (if I may be so bold to presume!).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] firebane:
Just installed it and everything went smooth. I'm not sure if I am missing it tho as it seems I cant' turn off the back lights on the capacitive keys anywhere. Has this been implemented yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] me_is_rushin:
Everyone is correct there are several Slim features missing. If you check their website they have been doing massive amounts of work adding back features. I say give it a couple months and everything will be taken care of. In fact all the major AOSP roms have been adding in their features to 4.4

Dalvik--> art is in Dev options.

P.S. Loving this rom. Boot time is astounding and the animation is slick.

If you like Slim don't mind not having video recording atm or a few minor features definitely flash away.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
Dude, slim is my favorite aosp ROM. I know most features there have not been included yet, still op states some of them are.

About dalvik, its not I haven't found it, is that the phone reboots after selecting art but it shows dalvik again in dev options.

...and when the crap hit the fan I was the only one there...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
Are you using Xposed? It isn't compatible with ART yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] me_is_rushin:
I'm assuming OP is just copy pasted from previous SlimBean thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
Copy that.

That may be. But I don't think so.

I installed xposed which has been updated to work with 4.4 about two or three weeks ago on yesterdays cm11 nightly and could change from dalvik to art alright thou.

This back and forth with y'all is not complaining at all. Its the ROM I like the most. I've got today 11 hours on time with two hours screen time on first full charge since flashing. Absolutely, the best experience with any 4.4 ROM so far for me.

...and when the crap hit the fan I was the only one there...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] meekrawb:
I didn't think you were complaining. I was just reporting what I've seen in a different forum. For some reason if you have xposed installed and switch to ART, after a reboot it will still be on dalvik. Hopefully it will be updated again soon.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
After a day of ART I switched back to dalvik. Got a few weird FCs after trying the Google launcher and even after switching back to Nova. The speed difference is nominal and I prefer stability. Future builds are going to cure that anyway.

I also noticed after switching back to dalvik I now get a Poweramp full screen lock widget.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 running Slimkat and CI3Kener's Uber 4.4 Kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] x.0ni.x:
Agreed! This 4.4+ build is the best overall KitKat build I've ran for our devices. Threw an uber kernel on it with "Performance Control" app and it's running like a champ! Alpha ROM? It don't feel at all like it. PR you could leave this as is and I'd damn well keep this as my DD. And to the Exposed issue...Xposed automatically reverts back to dalvik by default because Xposed doesn't support ART...yet. But if u play with the animation in the developers settings apps open just as fast or even faster than ART. Over clocking helps as well. This is just from my experience. I could be wrong but this "ALPHA" is going to stay as my DD now. I'm running it completely Google free. And wow I'm having a ball now with my S2 again. I'm soooo glad for this.:highfive::D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lantigua:
so after beating it all night...meaning my phone... :D ...only problem I have ran into is data loss....let me explain, kevin hart :cool:

when im on DATA i notice that i loose the 3g or hspa icon and whatever i was doing ( loading a page or downloading) would stop....then it would resume without showing the 3g or hspa icon again.

when im on WIFI, i dont even see the up or down arrow doing its thing and every once in a while it will stop working...and then just pick up whenever it feels like it....

thats the only thing i have noticed up to now.,...ohhhh and the ocational screen flicker

other than that.... NO PROBLEMA CABALLEROS

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Almite:
If it's a new micro SD you need to format it with fat32 for it to be mountable on hercules device, if you are running win7 etc it won't format it, because MS decided to put a dumb limit on fat32 format sizes (max 32gb), if you have a micro sd card reader you could download and use this format tool, it's what I used to format my 64gb micro SD that I use with my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] KCJunkman:
switched from Davlik to ART. didnt notice that much of speed improvement, altho possibly was already fast enough :) but i did notice that i couldnt install at least 2 programs from the Play Store, Spotify and Pandora..they both kept saying invalid package size error 27..switched back to Davlik, and they still wouldnt install..anyone else having this problem?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
ROM is the Bomb

Two days of using this ROM and no doubt this is the new DD for me. Only a few things needed for perfection IMHO and that's ability to theme (Dark Slim especially), video recording (which I don't even use), screenshots and performance control (which Trickster Mod and CPU Adjuster are taking care of at the moment). Right now along with [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION]'s UBER 4.4 kernel and Fly On Mod (minus Ram Manager & Sqlite which doesn't work on 4.4) I'm getting performance even the latest phones don't have.

If anybody wants to try it, this is the setup that's working so well for me right now (along with aforementioned methods): Set CPU to 384 min, 1728 max, Ondemand governor and ZEN scheduler (384 min and 1402 max with screen off for battery). RAM minfrees 18, 16, 32, 128, 195, 195. Read ahead set to 3072. TCP congestion on "reno". Zram is turned on also.

It says a lot when I can play music and open Chrome which is notorious for being sluggish with zero lag. In fact Chrome is performing as good as Boat, Dolphin or any third party browsers on my phone. My old phone would crash just trying to get Chrome to open.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JoeGrimm:

Something that will be a big help to those of us who switch around ROMs is that if you switch from one 4.4 ROM to another, then decide to restore your nandroid, you don't have to do the old trick of clearing Play store data and removing & re-adding your account to get synchronized with the Play store again. Found that out tonight after testing the latest CM11.

Reverting

Full disclosure here but I'm going to come back to this soon as a beta or stable build becomes available. No big issues really I just miss being able to use dark themes, BLN & such at the moment. I've tried some of the other 4.4 builds and this is still by far the best KitKat ROM available.

Back on CM 10.1 (for the time being).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] danishdish:
I was on 10.2 and that one is good, too.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
I'd be on that one but Viper audio will not work on hardly any 4.3 ROMs and that is a critical app for me.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fathertomany:
The problem I had with this ROM is, in a couple apps, the back button quite responding. The other hardware keys continued to work. I have tried the various settings but, because I was having that one issue, I reluctantly went and reflashed cl3kener's beta.

On both of these versions, I had to flash his uber kernel as well because the screen would not respond after going to sleep.

I tried the video fix and I can't get it to work I extracted the gallery2.apk deleted the old replaced and installed and nothing.. Is there more to do that I didn't see? Thanks for the replies

Also this ROM is beast great job to slim roms as always.. Just downloaded a Google explorer launcher and this is just like vanilla 4.4 but with 182 DPI gotta love it.. Awesome job and also chesters uber kernel is beautiful with this ROM of course
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Did you remember to fix permissions after? You also have to get rid of GoogleCamera.apk as well, besides the gallery4.apk.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
I did forget to fix permissions.. Also I don't have Google camera. Apk or gallery4.apk maybe cause I downloaded the minimal gApps? All I see is camera2.apk and gallery2.apk
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
There should be no camera app. Gallery2.apk is supposed to act as the camera and gallery. If that was already there in the system folder that is strange. If you follow the steps of removing GoogleCamera and gallery, then replace with gallery2 from 4.3 or 4.2, fix permissions and reboot you should be good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
The first pic u can see the camera 2.apk the second one shows no Google camera.. Your on 1.9 slimkat and yours is diff? That can't be???

Also I followed the same rule to delete and install I tried a 4.2.2 apk and a 4.3 apk of gallery and nothing the video looks better but it doesn't record when I hit the button.. On the regular package the video looks very pixilated and the record button doesn't work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
Well, mine looks like yours, and same thing happened to me, no gallery2.apk would work as long as the camera.apk from first pic was there. As soon as I deleted it and gallery both and replaced it with 4.2.2 gallery2.apk camera worked as it should, just old camera icon, lol

...and when the crap hit the fan I was the only one there...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gabriel1946:
I did the same but video still didn't work so I just left it and reverted to 4.3 and installed the Google launcher.. Pretty much all I really like from 4.4 lol

Also the browser, chrome and stock kept freezing and jittering I shall wait til 4.4 is more stable, and my data kept going in and out which led to baaaad battery life overall tho most devices don't even have 4.4 in development so great job and it's a good alpha rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] FCORivers:
Man, I can only say that after changing galleries everything else have worked as it should. All gs2 are the same but not equal, lol.

What I'm looking for:

1, Will a correction to this come with time as the ROM is developed closer to a Stable Release?

2, Would someone else be willing to D/L this Game (FREE) and test if you get the same results?

Thank you for reading, and thank you in advance to whomever answers this.
