Great to see everyone is loving the ROM :)

New build should be up tonight

As for you

What do you mean by "have any bearing"?

The force close on the camera I was not aware of, im going to look into it

EDIT: I switch from panorama back to regular camera and it crashed but only on the first time for me, its worked ever since is this a recurring problem for you?
[HTC Droid DNA] jbarcus81:
By that I mean... the updates they are always pushing on the nightly builds, would those... I guess I don't know if they are fixes they are pushing or ... I don't know.. I guess with nightly builds it's trial and error maybe? With the camera it did only happen maybe a couple times.. all good.. :good:
[HTC Droid DNA] collegencmc:
I haven't had any issues with camera. However DSP keeps crashing on me when I play something in Google music. This problem has been a round a while, think its more of an issue with the CM part. Just thought I would see if any one else had the problem and how they got around it. Also anyone using ODEX me app and get it work with this ROM? Every time I try it, it says I don't have root access, but I have other apps that can get root. Thanks!
[HTC Droid DNA] d08speed3:
Use this app to odex 4.4.

Use the armeabi version. Thats our phone. Flash it in recovery. Open terminal emulator type su. Type Odex. Type all. Profit!

Cool thanks, just did it and everything seems to be ODEXing just fine! :D
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
slim doesnt actually(as far as im aware) have any nightlies but the nightlies would not help very much, while the slim devs are great, they are not as good as the CM devs at updates and it takes about 3-4 days for updates to get properly settled in, so nightlies would be extremely unstable

hope you guys enjoy

maybe ill find time to release the 3.2 update, its only got like a few more features
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
Love this ROM. You guys did a great job with it.
[HTC Droid DNA] Yehudah:
Interesting Issue

I was listening to Amazon MP3 and was receiving a phone call on a bad connection (no bars) when the phone rebooted.

It came back, everything works.

Odd.

One other odd thing, after tinkering when the phone rebooted I discovered this:

in Settings>About Phone>Status>

Mobile Network Status - disconnected

Everything works, what does this status mean?

Also, the 4G is weak and at times will have zero bars.. as I found out above. Is there a way to fix that? I have the 1.01.01.1112 radio (latest I think).
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
I dont know

i stopped using slim a while ago and swithed to venom 4.4 because i was having problems with keeping a connection, but the problem for me persisted on venom as well so i think im gonna update my radio(i think im about 2 updates behind now) and see if that fixes it

as for you

somewhere in the setting menu(under mbile data connection) there is a setting on what netowrk you should use and for me it was on global

i reccomend changing it to cdma for you(itf its not already)

im not much help on this sorry but im also having those problems on different roms
[HTC Droid DNA] collegencmc:
[MENTION=5285997]zawata[/MENTION] So does that mean this ROM is dead? :( I really hope not because I really enjoy this one, and don't want to move to a new one. :D
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
i am stupid :D
[HTC Droid DNA] collegencmc:
Right I knew about Slimbean, that is why I was asking under this thread about Slimkat. So are you saying both are dead now?
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
oh im sorry, i was talking to a different guy in the slimbean thread about this same subject

i got confused

no its not dead....im just really lazy

im uploading a new build right now

here it is: beta 3.85

you also need to update gapps
[HTC Droid DNA] collegencmc:
Hey I understand. I moved to the new build and its amazing all the way around. The best part is battery! After a day and a half off the charger with normal use I'm at 50%. Thanks for your work on this rom I love it!

I hope I'm not the only still using this rom though!
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
well it seems ive got 26 DL's on it so other people are using it,

but ive now gotten the rom to a point where its like type 3 commands once a week and upload it and change the OP. so its not that hard to keep going

i thinki am goinna start another rom: Chameleon

I remember that jamiethe morris was having problems with but im going to see if i can iron them out, if he lets me
[HTC Droid DNA] mikhazloy:
please help slimkat fc all time com.android.phone
[HTC Droid DNA] rockfreak101:
I haven't had any issue. Sometimes it's just a bad DL. Or install. Wipe and try again.
[HTC Droid DNA] msignor:
Been using this since it came out. Really like it, just wish it had the bandwidth meter in the status bar. Almost changed rom's though, so thanks for the update :)
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
no problem i just got really lazy :), i think the next update is gonna be beta 4 or stable so maybe a week or so from now
[HTC Droid DNA] Androide3:
No gsm data...:(
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Did you flash the gsm patch?
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Slimkat stable 4.0 coming soon(like 3 hours)
[HTC Droid DNA] Androide3:
Ohh can't wait, love your Rom ,best kk Rom battery life its amazing
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Haha woops forgot about it

Thanks reminding me
[HTC Droid DNA] msignor:
are you aware of any work being done regarding 4.4.3 and SlimKat?

great roms still. can't wait for the update.
[HTC Droid DNA] AlexanderJohn:
Just curious about that 4.0 haven't seen anything since the timestamp.
[HTC Droid DNA] AlexanderJohn:
Wow. Love it so far.. Hasn't had any hiccups ty!

[HTC Droid DNA] tdizzle404:
so is the gsm patch needed in these current builds?
[HTC Droid DNA] theseabass:
Has anyone been having issues with Google Play? I can get the apps to download to 100% but they never install. This only happens while I'm on this ROM.

---------- Post added at 09:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:51 PM ----------

Never mind. It started magically working again.
[HTC Droid DNA] Androide3:
Gsm patch doesn't work for my
[HTC Droid DNA] msignor:
I dirty flashed my rom, and don't have this issue.
[HTC Droid DNA] theseabass:
Been running this for a few days and its working great. Only thing I'm having issues with is battery life. Imma try a different kernel and see if that helps.

[MENTION=5285997]zawata[/MENTION]

Hey so I have a question, I'm having problem with the audio on this Rom. When I play music using the speaker sounds bad, and I notice the noise cancelling feature doesn't seem to be working. Is this an issue that can be fixed? I tried downloading and using ViPER4Android, but it doesn't seem to help. The speaker still seem to play audio very softly even at full volume.

Just wanted to get you input on this.

Thanks and keep up the good work on this ROM, its great!!
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
um i know that the sound coming from a sense rom is not as good but its not terrible

if its really that bad try re-downloading, ive never had an issue with the sound
[HTC Droid DNA] theseabass:
I second this. My sound works just fine for this ROM. Its not as loud as the Sense Roms, but it isn't anywhere near terrible. Did you perform a clean install? What was your previous ROM if you dirty flashed? A dirty flash would likely be the reason for the issue.
[HTC Droid DNA] theseabass:
It installed fine with TWRP 2.7 for me. I also just tested it on CWM and it worked.
[HTC Droid DNA] armydog13:
[MENTION=3512140]twelfth[/MENTION] md5 sums match?
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Wow thanks for the in depth info(not sarcasm)

Since I'm not one of the slim devs(just a maintainer) I never touch the install script

I also don't like or support clockwork mod, have you tried twrp?

Try this

Rename the zip to flash-slim4.1.zip

And create a Text file named flash-slim4.1.md5 and paste the md5 sum into the file

It should then verify the zip is completely intact before flashing
[HTC Droid DNA] twelfth:
There were multiple issues at play.

I had to run to work after struggling with my phone and couldn't get back to this thread until now.

I had ClockworkMod Touch. Flashed SlimBean, installed RomToolBox and it updated CWM.

And upon reboot into recovery, wiping system and data... I found out that the updated version of ClockworkMod would *not* allow me to flash a ZIP from USB.

So needless to say, I was a little boned.

Fastboot also wasn't behaving properly on my desktop so I had to set myself up again for adb/fastboot on my laptop which was how I SOFFed my Phone in the first place. That took a bit of work. Once I was able to, I flashed a new recovery (TeamWin) and was able to flash SlimKat.

*SIGH*
[HTC Droid DNA] collegencmc:
I was getting ready to reflash this rom to fix the sound but I can't get to the gaps anymore. You have to log on the slim site now but I don't see a place to register.
[HTC Droid DNA] ashonka:
You can navigate the slim site to download gaps without signing in.

[MENTION=5285997]zawata[/MENTION]

Any new updates coming on this rom?
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Soon enough young one...soon enough

Lol yeah sorry I just finally finished my Senior Exit Project yesterday so I'm pretty much graduating now :D

EDIT: do I need to fix the links for gapps in the OP?
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Glad to see you fixed it

Cwm was the first recovery I ever used because it was recommended in the root guide I followed(droid X)

But because I was a flashaholic I decided to also switch recoveries and twrp was just so much better and faster so I am now twrp loyal
[HTC Droid DNA] tdizzle404:
Any chance of getting build 5
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
wow already on 5? alright yeah ill get it

but not for like 2 more days or so

got to re image my hard drive(not enough space where it needs to be)
[HTC Droid DNA] msignor:
Any chance of that build 5?
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Sorry just graduated and had a bunch of family come to celebrate

Then my windows partition found out that I was cheating on it with Ubuntu so it wiped my boot partition and did something so its irreparable(idek) so I've got to just reinstall the whole damn thing

If you just keep bothering me about it I'll get too it eventually :P
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Congratulations! What did you get your degree in?
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
I just graduated with my degree in highschool :P haha

yeah I'm going to asu after the summer

Then in 4 years I'll graduate with my degree in electrical(or computer) engineering
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Well I'm sure you'll do great. :)
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
thanks :)

im gonna start my ubuntu reinstallation later tonight guys then slimkat tonight hopefully aswell
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
I realize im not a very timely developer(i apologize) and as such i may be looking into giving up the project to a new maintainer

this is due to the fact that i am receiving a new laptop tomorrow(pretty high end too) and i thought i would be able to keep my current desktop in my room aswell, but alas my parents are making mer give it up to my sister(i just graduated high school and im going to college this fall so not wierd im living with my parents)(i also did not buy my computer it was given to me because it was not needed elsewhere in the house)

this is coupled with the fact that i feel another dev would be able to provide more timely updates for this rom that i know so many of us love so much

i will be releasing the latest build sometime tonight
[HTC Droid DNA] msignor:
I would be up for making builds. Never done it before but have enough linux experience. Shouldn't be too bad.

PM me if you can with a general rundown.

Thx!
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
ok well its not too hard and tbh unless your deving or working with github then linux experience isnt too necessary

its mostly problem solving and being able slightly understand what .c files are saying, then after that its just remembering it

ive got to fix my ubuntu install ation then i can discuss it with you more
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
Until someone volunteers to pick development on this project, its pretty much dead, if no one ever does but everyone wants the next version I may be able to get a virtualbox going and update it but its a long shot so come for devs of the DNA community wanting fame and glory(lol) I do have a breif written guide if how to build if anyone wants to but does not know how
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Hello,

If you would like to share your local manifests I can compile a build for you. I synced with the slimcat-caf repo last night and added our device, kernel, common and vendor but keep hitting an error with the audio drivers. Maybe looking at your locals will refresh my memory on something I am forgetting to add? It has been months since I have built slim...used to build it for several devices. I have been working on crom lately and have hit a wall on that as well so it would be a nice change looking at something different. Not looking to maintain but willing to compile from time to time.

Cheers
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
well thats exaclty what i need right now if you just build once every two weeks or so

unfortunately i wiped my hard drive and that included everything on it

in what directory are the audio errors coming from?

though i dont have a file system in front of me to stare at, i might be able to help you a little

let me look at slim's git
[HTC Droid DNA] jschill31:
Hello,

I can use Pastebin if you all prefer, I think this is just a portion of the error. May have kernel issues...this one actually stops build:

target Prebuilt: (/home/jim/slimkat/out/target/product/dlx/kernel)

/home/jim/slimkat/out/host/linux-x86/bin/checkpolicy: loading policy configuration from /home/jim/slimkat/out/target/product/dlx/obj/ETC/sepolicy_intermediates/policy.conf

device/htc/msm8960-common/sepolicy/mediaserver.te":13:ERROR 'unknown type audio_firmware_file' at token ';' on line 7531:

allow mediaserver audio_firmware_file:dir { { open getattr read search ioctl } add_name write };

# Grant access to audio firmware files to mediaserver

checkpolicy: error(s) encountered while parsing configuration

make: *** [/home/jim/slimkat/out/target/product/dlx/obj/ETC/sepolicy_intermediates/sepolicy] Error 1

Again it may just be part of the larger kernel issue which is odd since I am using the CM repo.

Cheers
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
well my advice is nuke(meaning delete from both sections) the problematic repos(msm8960-common in this case) and build again aclean version

i know the DNA has had some wierd kernel problems in the past, at least with me

but if ever it becomes an unfixable problem, nuke everything and start over, that fixed quite a few problems for me :p

this also became my bestfriend while building

find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep -i 'string'

it searches all files in all directories and all subdirectories(starting from the current directory) for this phrase and prints out the resulting line, directory, and file
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
i figured out whats causing it :) ill post back in an hour with a fix for you

SOLUTION TIME!!!

cyanogenmod changed the device specific SEpolicies to be more universal and easier to build for which also required changing external/sepolicy which slim never did

fix:

add this to your local manifests file :)

<project path="external/sepolicy" name="CyanogenMod/android_external_sepolicy" remote="github" revision="cm-11.0"/>

and aso remove the same slimrom project(ill assume you how to do that)

HOWEVER, this may cause more problems which is why you may also want to consider adding this instead:

<project path="device/htc/msm8960" name="SlimRoms/device_htc_msm8960-common" remote="github" revision="kk4.4"/>

this will however leave out a lot of the recent updates to this repo

its your decision
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
Try

repo grep -i string

which greps all files part of all git repos (and therefore doesn't grep intermediate files, etc).
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
repo has a grep command? thats awesome thanks

EDIT:

hey crpalmer, can you help me out?

is there way to do like cherry pick comand but take something out? like revert commit with having to do it manually?

i need this commit reverted in my code :

https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_m7/commit/f2efb02581110747711c8b17f31f38fc3ed5dd1a
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
That doesn't look like a commit that you want to revert. For CM it is an important one to have...

You can revert a commit with

git revert SHA1

where SHA1 is the hash of the commit that you want to revert. Like a cherrypick, if there are conflicts then you have to resolve them.
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
well im building omni and on the their wiki it says that this commit caused big problems with updating the device's screen with the -caf devices and that its highly reccomended that it be reverted, it had to be done on some sony devices to get them to boot

i also remember that last time i tried to build omni i had some major problems dealing specifically with those files and the those functions that were changed so i think theres a glimmer of hope

im going to build it first and then im going test whether or not it boots and see if reverting that fixes it

thanks btw been building for about 6 months and still have no idea how to use git :p (i should be proud lol)
[HTC Droid DNA] crpalmer:
If omni says that you need to revert it then you probably will. As a word of warning, that was literally the 5th commit in the M8 bringup. That says omni is going to be very different...
[HTC Droid DNA] zawata:
well according to omni it was to keep the AOSP and caf trees a little more pure, i hope it wont be too difficult, though i have gotten pretty good at dealing with build errors though

i think that if its going to be very different like you said, i might just create a repo for it on github, i think there were instructions on how to do that earlier in this thread

EDIT: i got a question for you again

if my knowledge of android(and logic/programming in general) if im using CM's unmodified kernel sources which boot on cm, then using the same sources unmodified on omni should at least make it boot right(past the HTC screen, not necessarily past boot animation)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JSDragon:
I have recently purchased an HTC One for verizon and was thinking about rooting it and unlocking it.....my question is I just recently updated to the 4.3 OTA update and I am wondering if I can still root it and unlock it or do I have to wait for a tool to do so?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] mmuzzy:
I just got a new One with 4.3 also. We're stuck with s-on for now.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JSDragon:
Sad face :( ok thank you for the reply and for your time
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JSDragon:
Does anyone know if the tool to hack the HTC One will be updated for the 4.3 update by chance?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] andybones:
You can wait, or ask beaups, but ETA is kinda rude to some ppl.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] bregga:
on 4.3

I was s-off so not sure this will work for you but what i did was i needed to write a super cid of 1111111 then went to htcdev and got unlock code and unlocked then wrote my regular cid back there are instructions on xda then i had to use fastboot to install custom boot and root again because i lost adb for some unknown reason.

i have to go to work if you want i'll post all the links i used tonight
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] JSDragon:
Yeah I will wait and be patient I am sure being a program developer its annoying when people wine for updates to their programs.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
You have to be S-Off to write the cid to 11111111. If you try to do it without S-OFF the phone just freezes.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] lightnx:
So i was thinking about trading my Galaxy S4 out for a HTC one because it seems the only phone getting dev support and not fubar from verizon. If i got a new one today would i be able to root and flash roms right away or is there a possibility of new update blocking it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] vpxf:
There is a 4.3 update that will block you from flashing roms. It will likely pop the moment you turn the phone on so stay alert for that.

I got my phone directly through Verizons concession line about a week ago.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] selayan:
Or ask the seller to provide you with the build number and version. I did that before I bought my One but unfortunately the guy updated it to 4.3 before shipping it out :(

Hi there

i recently purchased my 02 XDA mini S

its ROM version is 1.5.4.2 WWE

its radio version is 01.09.10

Ive been reading a lot on this site and it seems obvious that when you first buy them there not as good as they can be!!

There are lots of people talking about lots of different ROMs and im slightly confused!!!

What would be the best one for me to instal (if i need to at all), why would it be better than what i've already got? and how i can go about doing it?

Im quite knowledgable about technicle stuff so im not a complete rookie but any help would be GREATLY appreciated

look foward to hearing replies

thanks!!

the last one from i-mate seems to be ok... or you can try the one from qtec 1.6.7.1 rom

why it would be beter? its like updating your pc... bugs are fixed... new things added and so on...

you need to CID unlock your device before putting other rom in to it... you can do that with this progy http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=33796

Even choosing shutdown from recovery goes to boot loop.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistafeesh:
Hi, I've been meaning to root my S3 mini for ages, and it's developed a fault with the miniUSB (or whatever it's called) socket. It's had the problem before, and when it was sent off, the device was wiped. Is there any way I can back it up before I send it? I'm nervous of trying to root it in case something goes amiss with the socket while it's rooting...

The problem it's having is that it often refuses to charge and I have to take the plug out and put it back in several times before it notices it. Then after it's charged, when I unplug it it still thinks it's charging until I shut it down and remove then replace the battery. I guess the charging socket or circuitry is a bit buggered!
