That's why I'm gonna exclude OC/UV patch. Even tho u not OC or UV but those things still cause unstability randomly. But I forgot to revert it fo next build so maybe the next next build I will :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ithunter:
freeze and reboot :(

some time graphic glitch and freez then have to force reboot :(

battery is not so good and 4.2 aka CM10.1 :((((((((
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Hmmm, I dunt know how bout ur phone but I did uninstall all Kernel setting app like SetCPU and Trickster Mod and my Mom hasn't had any single freeze/reboot for the last 3 days tho and battery seems fine, too. Anyway, Like I said, I will wipe out the Commits of OC/UV to be back to standard 4.2 - CM10.1 upstream stability and of course the other Kernel mods will stay :p.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ithunter:
give some teaser about next build :))
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Just updated to Slimkat beta 2 source and new TWRP flags (not sure that it will make any difference) plus kernel updates as well. Nothing special yet. However, since I forgot to revert those OC/UV patches so I will release the next next update as kernel only under NiLTMT kernel thread :)

Edit: has anyone received the OTA noti yet? Wonder if it works or not :/
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ithunter:
their is new build in in goo.im folder ????

Slimkat-galaxys4gmtd-4.4.2-20131231.zip and this is downloading.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Yes there is but i wonder if anyone's phone has received the OTA notification yet tho as I want to know if OTA updater checker is working or not :) pls go to settings>slim center and check for the ota update tho :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ithunter:
sorry now i am on new build :)

i didint check ota notification :(
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Rebel_X:
[MENTION=4571512]daothanhduy1996[/MENTION]: No man, Slimcenter still shows I am running the latest which is beta 1.96.

Also, as [MENTION=2768542]ithunter[/MENTION] said, the rom freezes like hell and reboots. Mostly when I try to get

root permission for some apps or change system settings. Also I noticed it suffers from

lots of graphical issues when the phone gets frozen. I managed to reduce this effect

by using GPU acceleration for 2D and UI. And it still happens sometimes, but not as much.

And freezing happens more frequently when I use SuperSU, using the built-in Super user

management helps to reduce freezing issues.

Thanks for the Rom. It is really fast. But I might go back to AOKP-ICS if freezing keeps happening

since I can't use it reliably when I need it :/

A quick question if you don't mind (I know this is dev forum but..) Since you changed

the partitions, Is it safe to flash a TWRP backup for ICS over this? or should I go back to Stock then to AOKP?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
SInce the partition locations have changed and they are stored in the kernel itself, you can't just restore your backups for /system and /data directly -- they'd restore to the new locations, then the old kernel would look at a different place and have no clue what was going on. It should work to restore your old boot/recovery, reboot to recovery, then restore your backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
U must back to stock, flash a TWRP ICS kernel like Hefe and restore the backup.

Anyway, I just updated the kernel for slim here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48987609

Read the changelog @ OP and Download it from my Goo.im folder then :).

I reverted the OC/UV patches in hope make it more stable :).

And seems like I have to integrate the links directly into the SlimCenter then insted of leaving it as overlay in the device tree.

Happy new year everyone!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Anyone can, please check the OTA again via SlimCenter tho. I hope I set up the correct OTA database file on server but not sure. Damn, I need a phone to test it but my Mom is out atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
OTA works? i think?

the version says that im running latest build.

but the "Download Slimkat"

says that, NEW SLIMKAT ROM UPDATE AVAILABLE. DOWNLOAD HERE:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Thanks man! You saved me a ton :p. Hope it directed u to my Goo.im then coz I set the link as my Goo.im :).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
yah it direct me. now i see 2 links :D

pretty cool. :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
OK, so now I wiped out one block (I set 2 block of code, one fo checking update for galaxys4gmtd, one for checking update for SGH-T959V) hope now u just see 1 link :p. This is external fix from my server so u can test it directly, no need to update the slimcenter or so :).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
wait. for every update, do i need to back to stock or can i dirty flash it?

im lazy this time men PEACE.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Heh, You can dirty flash :p whenever I update the Partition layout again, I will tell y'all so dunt worry :D. But full wipe - not beck to stock, I mean full wipe from TWRP - is still recommended :p

Edit: Has anyone had the camera work a lil bit wonky? I think yes but you have to know that...ATM, this is Slim's bug so please not to report this to me tho, as they just rebased their camera app onto pure AOSP, it means they whacked the old camera app off. So, until it is fixed from Slim's source, I can't do anything for it :). Cheers! BTW, I think you can temporarily fix it w pulling the camera app from previous build to see if it works or not :).

AIO gapps didn't work for me neither. But slim minimal gapps worked for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
I doubt because of our limited space for /system that AIO might not be installed completely, I mean mayb there wouldn't enough space for it. And my partition patch was aim for slim ROM and its minimal gapps :).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
Dirty Flashed Beta 2 and today's kernel update, and it appears so far to have fixed the random reboot stability issues I was seeing. Thanks Dao! Happy New Years.

Update: Spoke too soon, they seem to have come back. Most prominent waking the phone from sleep and when the back button is hit it seems.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AgainstTheFlow:
Flashed the update, no more freezes or random reboots. You da man!

There is an increased number of ppl downloading the old version of slimkat, it is now 520 but just 100 has downloaded the newer version and 50 has downloaded Niltmt kernel v14.01.01. Just want to remind u that if u like KitKat then u should download the newest v14.01.01 of the kernel to have better stability tho. And thanks for enjoying my works :p.

finally happy with this ROM !!!

despite of:-

no problem with rare reboot and freez :)

and some glitch bug with music..

and less multitasking.

i a m sure one day it will be more stable then 10.1 :D

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AgainstTheFlow:
I'm still getting random freezes and reboots. But to qualify that, this phone is a factory reconditioned and has always been flakey. So on this ROM this may be something that I may have to live with. Still live the ROM, it is still three smoothest, fastest thing that I ever installed on this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Thanks for ur compliment but there's one thing that has been confusing me that i still haven't seen any freeze/reboot myself and my Mom told me that she hadn't either. So I dont know where is the problem. Can you tell me more info about it? As what have u installed, how much space left for installing app (/data), have u played any heavy game or used any heavy app that need intensive cpu, have u OC/UV or apply any mod (even flashing any mod zip file from xda?), and has ur phone been keeping rebooting/freezing with specific app or not? ( and dont include ur personal data here of course). Thanks!

@ everyone else: there will be an OTA soon, mayb tomorrow or Saturday so check the ota updater @ slimcenter then. Hopefully I could fix the camera working strangly after first pic taking tho :(. For video playing failed, I will investigate further later (camera is on my prior) and in the mean time, pls use 3rd party app like MXplayer alternatively tho. I have been using MX paid app since it is far way better than the stock included that I didnt recognize the issue :p sorry :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AgainstTheFlow:
Will give you a list of apps that I'm running when I get a moment from work. I still have 107 MG's avail on internal and 8 gigs on sd card. The last time out it froze and rebooted is I was checking for a ROM update through OTA. This phone had always been weird on stock ROM it used to return back to home screen after opening contacts. So if not a conflict with apps, it could be just my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
I am seeing the same random reboot issue again as well, but not as prevalent as it was in the 1st release. I actually had a reboot happen at that exact spot as well. I am seeing them waking the phone from sleep and it seems in any app when there is a handoff to the web browser, like the SlimOTA and Facebook. I agree with you. This is by far the slickest and fastest ROM on this handset to date in my opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Link119:
I really do like how quick this ROM is compared to all the JB ones!

At first i would get freeze/reboots when i would mess with settings. My most repeated reboot would be when i was on the home screen and i hit the menu key and when i clicked on "Settings". This would never happen when i would click on it right after rebooting though. I also noticed that after booting when the phone is "settling" that i would not be able to turn off the screen until after about 30 seconds. Sometimes when i would go to unlock the screen the slider would freeze for a second or two.

What i found to fix most of my reboots was to reflash the "Niltmt kernel v14.01.01" again (it might not have stuck the first time for some reason).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Ok, next build will be online in the next 4 hours (hope so) with these changes:

Latest kernel for better stability (me)

Fixed the camera working strangely after first pic taken (me)

Newest Slim changes in many projects, esp with ART and camera app improvements

Still can't play video via stock gallery (WIP)

There has been no reboot/freeze happens to my Mom's phone w apps, settings, OTA,...as I am still observing and trying to reproduce all the cases that u all have reported. Still nothing bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
Sweet! I had a reboot this morning when I was changing Wallpaper, you might want to give that a try as well if you have not yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Link119:
When the next update comes out should i try wiping data or anything special to see if there is something messed up on my end?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] AgainstTheFlow:
Mine rebooted when changing the wallpaper also. I heimdall reset the phone, reloaded ROM and now adding one app at a time until I get the rebooting thing again. Then I will remove that app and see if the rebooting goes away
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
I just changed my wallpaper w/o any reboot :p. I am running the ROM w/o any extra kernel config and nova launcher. Sr for the unfinished upload coz it failed 3 times and I am still trying to push it online :p

[MENTION=5552841]Link119[/MENTION]: u can flash it over ur current slimkat (dirty flash) but a full wipe is always be recommended
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
I see the new update file out there in Slim, but downloaded it, and tried to flash, and fails.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
Yup, it hasn't been finished yet. The zip file should be 151.3MB or so (on windows and ubuntu may skew a lil differently)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
That would explain it. Looks like almost 100 folks have already downloaded the partial file, look how popular your work is! Can't wait, this is the smoothest my phone has ever been, despite the occasional reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
By the way, if u have free time on Saturday or Sunday, please test the reboot for me. I mean we have logcat working so when u have time, plug the phone into the usb cable on laptop or PC with usb debug turned on. Open the command prompt and type in "adb lolcat" and keep using the phone w procedure that may cause the reboot like changing wallpaper, settings,...til it reboots itself then send me about 50 lines rite b4 the reboot (via pastebin please) so i can look at it. Thanks! :)

P/s: since I am npt available so I will upload the build again asap
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
dao i think its very hard.

freeze and reboot for me is so very seasonal,

freeze occurs in some apps,

for example,

apex laucher freeze

better bat. stats freeze when i resume it (like holding home button and resume apps)

titanium backup freeze also

settings freeze not only in apps.

8 ball pool freeze when i play it once

and after a freeze , reboot come in.

but not all reboot, the other , i will force to reboot cause, it is not responding .. so it is hard to tell when it freeze.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
I managed to capture one. (Included the whole Logcat in the event there is something that helps) http://pastebin.com/mRx3k0Cv

Hope it helps. I did not see any fatals, but did see a few errors. I think I was in the stock e-mail app when the graphics went funny and reboot ensued. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Link119:
I had a freeze from within the contacts app, but onlike my other freeze and reboots it took about a minute to actually reboot and i got a message that the contacts app froze but i couldnt click on "kill".

And I know this isnt the 50 lines you asked for, but i feel like the error could have been long before 50 lines. I will try to get back to you next time i get one of the more common freezes.

http://pastebin.com/V1e67rQ2
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
From what y'all have described, I guess (just guess) that it is memory related. I will revert some latest commits that I doubt then. At least we have camera working properly now and just the reboot/freeze and the video playback with stock gallery that need fixing. Hopefully we will have a stable 4.4.2 soon :p (except GPS atm)

Kitkat arrived a bit late for Galaxy S 4G but some other high-end devices also havent had stable kitkat yet afaik :p.

EDIT: unfortunately I can't get access to pastebin anymore :( I hate slow connection.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
I know its pretty much just stand by and no cell connection but I think its pretty good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
Also is OTA working? It isn't for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
FINALLY, I could have the upload finished. I am testing the new Kernel and trying to figure what went wrong. Next update, I will make a pure kernel for Slimkat, I mean, I will start from scratch again, so no modification includes and will carefully and slowly merge the custom commits one by one. I hope that will help us with the freeze and reboot so maybe next week or later I will release a new build then. Stay tuned! :p
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
I was going to day something about the build not downloading right but you beat me to it. I got the Jan 3rd build downloaded and installed. Did a fresh install, using ART, so far do good.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
so this is the reason why the OTA works.

hahahaha i came here to check if this NEW link is not failed.

and dao the OTA still said that , "YOUR SYSTEM IS UP TO DATE"

BTW thanks again for this. hoping for better/best rom this time :D
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] TwitchyEye:
I think the ROM is not configured for low ram devices like our poor phones so it may be that its freaking out when it runs out of ram.

Maybe throwing in a couple of these build.prop entries would do it

That is the very same error I am seeing with my reboots as well. I am also seeing a bunch of errors with the stock email app.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DerPuGNa:
i have got a lot of them about. 4 or 5 pairs.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] daothanhduy1996:
This is because I am using a different/unofficial name layout for the zip packages. That's why Slim Center keeps saying the ROM is up to date while user still receiving a link to a new build when there is an update :p.

Thanks for pointing me out Bryan :). But TBH I still don't know what is missing :(. So I will start over again from scratch with the kernel :p.

Not working for me

I've spent 10 hrs so far trying to do this. all it does is get stuck on the samsung galaxy screen. How come it's not working? i tried many different ways.

First way:

1. revert to stock KJ6 with Heimdall one click to stock.

2. root with antonx one click

3. boot into recovery and wipe data/factory reset

4. install slim 4.4.2

5. wipe cache/data and wipe /system

6. reinstall slim 4.4.2

second way:

all the above, but installed the CM7 2012/6/15 kernel after installing the Rom

third way:

all the above but installed the NiLTMT-v14.01.01 kernel after installing the Rom.

Help Please!

Did you check the MD5 sums? You could have had a bad download...
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] champ1919:
Wipe system?

Edit, didn't see that you reinstalled... not sure now.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
yep, just verified that the checksum matches. can you guys advise me the exact steps you did? i'm on completely stock right now, unrooted.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] johnadelic:
Here is what I did.

one-click to stock, no root, flashed antonX kernel with no oc-uv. Booted to orange cwm. Wiped, flashed slimkat (system rebooted), got in to twrp, wiped flashed slimkat and minimal gapps.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
Where did you get the orange CWM/antonx no OC?

---------- Post added at 08:21 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:01 PM ----------

I found the No OC kernel. I'm going to try your way. What exactly did you wipe? You got a full reboot? i only got reboot into TWRP. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
Once you reboot into TWRP, flash the ROM again. My only issue was that after the first flash, I was just getting stuck in a bootloop rather than booting straight back into TWRP, so I just did a battery pull, and did the button combo to get back into TWRP Recovery. Once there, I flashed the ROM again, and all was good. I would suggested flashing just Slimkat, letting that boot, and then rebooting into recovery and flashing any updated kernels or gapps, rather than doing it all at once, but that is just me.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
I didn't try the battery pull yet. I was about to give up. I've got aokp 6.5 on it now. I'll give it another go. I'll let you guys know what happens. Thanks

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

No good. Seems like the recovery or something is getting corrupted. I flashed it only once, then did a battery pull and I can't get into recovery either. It only stays on the Samsung logo. Any suggestions? Do I need to flash the bootloaders from antonx?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
How are you doing the battery pull? What I found works is pull battery, hold up and down volume rocker down, and power button, reinsert battery. The trick is to hold the power button down after it has booted. I believe you should always be able to get into recovery doing this, and should not get stuck on the bootloader if you do it correctly. I know it took me about 3 tries to get it right. The timing of releasing the power button (while continuing to hold the volume rocker down) is a bit tricky, but for me, it was the manual booting into recovery that was the trickiest part, and I thought I was in a boot loop for a moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] u170who:
Well, no luck here. I tried the battery pull like you said this morning. Funny thing is that the absolute first time I tried out, I flashed it directly from aokp 6.3 are doing a basic wipe and it worked, but had a few errors. After that, I tried to install it a second time as suggested, and nothing worked. Oh well, thanks for your suggestions, I'm giving up now.enjoy your kitkat. I will be envying you guys
