SlimKat ROM Thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2511512

All Credit goes to the developers, Please support them for continued development

I will try my best to keep the thread updated and have questions and solutions posted in the first three posts of this Thread:

How to Install SlimKat ROM

Assuming you have already rooted, unlocked boot loader and installed custom recovery. If not there are multitude guides to do so, search in the forum.

Step 1:

Download the following:

Current SlimKat ROM: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/979-hammerhead

Note SlimKat Rom is in beta currently

Current SlimGapps: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/978-addons4-4/downloads/dlsearch

Note Slim Gapps are also in Beta, You can choose to download the full Slimgapps or the minimalgapps thats your choice. You can also download the photosphere addon.

Current SuperSu: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

Step 2:

Place the downloaded file onto your nexus 5 using the provided cable, alternatively you can also download the files directly onto your phone using the browser.

Reboot into Recovery

Wipe data/factory reset (required)

Wipe Cache Partition (required)

I also always do the following (optional)

In mounts/ Storage

Format /system (optional)

Format /data (optional)

Format/cache (optional)

These are not necessary but I have made it a habit to do so.

Once you have performed the required resets, select Flash Zip file and flash in the following sequence

Flash SlimKat Rom

Flash SlimGapps

Flash SlimPhotoSphere (optional) Note: Does cause audio lag in recorded video with some kernels also videos are darker after photosphere flash. See Q&A section

Flash Kernel ( optional: only if you want to use a custom kernel)

Flash SuperSu ( I prefer SuperSu, SuperUser does not work properly for Me)

Reboot

Now your good to go and setup your phone.

Step 3: (optional)

~ Note for ART I follow this procedure:

After Flashing, once the phone starts I skip through the setup screen

Go to Settings-> About-> tap on build 7 times to enable developer options

Go to Settings-> Developer Options -> Select Runtime --> Art

Reboot and let it finish what its doing takes 10-15 mins.

Once done setup your phone how you like.

Reserved : Guide To SlimKat Features

Features And Guide

Once I have time I will break down all the slim settings and what they do

Features Not Included

PIE - Can be installed using Xposed Framework

HALO - Can be installed using Xposed Framework

NOTE: Xposed Framework does not play nice with ART, You will need to stick with Dalvik to use Xposed.

Feature Request

I will update this as users request features but please dont request features that can be added via addons such as xposed. There is no point adding those features to the ROM, those who want them can always install via Xposed

I'm not sure how to get that, I think you have to connect the device to the computer and use something in the SDK to be able to record screen, I could be wrong. Try searching for it. If I find a solution I'll let you know.

I am not sure if and when PIE is implemented if it would include LMT with it therefore i left it out. I believe the xposed framework PIE does have LMT support.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AquilaDroid:
Hope there are enough people here to help me out. I've been using Slim ROMs for a couple years on G-Nex and now Nexus 5. On the last couple releases I've been having issues with Google Maps not getting a GPS fix, or when it does get a fix it's off by nearly a mile. GPS Data, Waze, Gas Buddy, etc. all work fine. After spending nearly a day re-flashing the ROM, app, clearing data, etc., I finally tried another ROM (Purity) and discovered that Google Maps gets a fix in less than 10 seconds and is within 20' accuracy. I used the latest Slim Gapps on Slim 1.95 and the CM Gapps on the Purity ROM. Has anyone had similar problems?

From my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruitsalt:
I just reflashed slimkat on my phone, took less then 5 seconds for it to get a GPS lock. Check the following:

Settings-> locations -> mode

Make sure high accuracy is selected

Also are you using a custom kernel ?

Flash sequence for ROMs is

Slimkat ROM

Slimgapps

Kernel ( if using custom kernel)

Supersu ( supersu always comes last)

Reboot.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
Anyone have any issues with the stock Slim Explorer app. I've never really used it before as I've always been an ES Explorer user but want to switch having the auto toggle TRDS modes. The app loads up but as soon as I scroll the screen the app closes and I get a "Slim Explorer has stopped" message. I've seen it in the past a handful of times I went to change DPI with it before installing ES. I did a complete clean install(ie. manually wiped everything and re-downloaded and re-setup all my apps instead of restoring them with Titanium), sha matches, so I can't think of anything else that could be the issue. Maybe it doesn't agree with Super SU???
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AquilaDroid:
Yep, did all that except for the SuperSU bit. I did use SuperSU on the Purity install though but haven't had any problems with the built in Superuser before. I'll nandroid back to the Slim ROM to give it a try. It was with the stock kernel.

From my Nexus 5
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruitsalt:
U mean simple explorer ?

Its working for me.

It could be super user, I've had issues with it

First post on this forum has link to supersu, download zip file flash in recovery. C if that solves the issue
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fruitsalt:
I've had issues with super user so always use supersu, but maps has nothing to do with either.

Did u check the settings?

Also sometimes you have to be outside to get a GPS lock,

Also try this:

Settings -> apps-> maps.

Clear data clear cache force close.

Reboot

Go outside and open maps c if that fixes it
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AquilaDroid:
OK, but it will be a while - when I went into recovery (TWRP) it asked for a password (which I haven't set) then failed to backup the existing ROM.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndrasLOHF:
I have Super SU installed and working already seeing as I use Faux kernel as well as I've always had issues(even on a SlimBean port on Evo LTE)with Superuser unmounting the system as RW. It's weird. It only happens when I scroll from within the emulated/legacy/0 storage. I can scroll within the device partition and change settings just fine.

Do you use ART??? Only other thing I can think of.

EDIT: just did a google search for TWRP password, it gave me this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2408514

try and see if it fixes your issue

here is a summary of that thread:

When you're asked for a password, hit cancel. Then go to Wipe and Factory Reset. If that doesn't work, then restart your recovery. If that still doesn't work then try reflashing TWRP again.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubakuba:
Yeah it has. But it's a developer setting.

You can get yourself into trouble by using it...

I took all precautions possible when writing the feature, but there isn't any way to make sure the values you enter are valid for that setting.

The Chamber was made for two reasons...

a) Super power-users who want more control of their device and know what they're doing.

b) Odd use-case scenarios that can be remedied by the Chamber.

If one of these is presented as a question (has already happened twice) I'll PM that user and tell them how to do that specific thing.

Means less work for us. And instant gratification for you if you need it.

But VERY few people will ever need it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaebond:
I flashed Beans' MJ9 ROM this morning, but I was getting crashes, so I attempted to do a more thorough wipe and I think I may have gone too far. If I try and boot I get stuck in a boot loop. I have tried going back to the rooted stock that is listed in the sticky in the development section, but it still bootloops. I can get to recovery no problem. I've also tried reflashing Beans' V20, but again a bootloop. I noticed that in Aroma, if I told it to wipe data (I think it was) it would never get past 0%, but if I only told it to wipe cache, then it would flash just fine. I also tried restoring a nandroid, but it fails when trying to restore system. Any help would be just awesome. Thank you in advance.

ETA: I wasn't able to get a logcat. I don't think the phone was getting far enough in its boot to be recognized by adb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lvov7342:
I soft-bricked my phone doing the same thing.:)

After a very stressful day of flashing various packages through odin, you have no choice but to flash the stock 4.3 firmware(boot) and rpm (pda) files through odin as our phones are now bootloader locked :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] WilliamKingX17:
Fix

I wouldn't think that the bootloader would be locked if you flashed Beans MJ9 ROM. You should be able to ODIN back to stock VRALJB with the PIT file. Then run Adam Outler's CASUAL to gain Root, and bootloader unlock back. Give it a try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nikhil.kdhand:
No chance.... If stock 4.3 rom is installed then casual won't work... And bootloader won't unlock but root is still possible

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
Read what the op said. He said he flashed Bean's rom. Not the odin file. The rom doesn't have the bootloader.

If you are still having problems I would suggest going back to stock with odin and root and unlock with casual again. Just

do not

use the MJ9 build in odin. I would go back to VRAM3C.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] nikhil.kdhand:
Thanks for the same but my response is on to the post sent by ivov7342 in which he referred to stock 4.3 and not beans rom.... Hope all got it now.....

I had this happen. All I had to do was re install cwm. But I didn't know how. So I got Phillz touch recovery flashed the zip then all was fine. Went back to beans 22 but on bases radio mj9. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaebond:
I used ODIN to put VRAM3C on (along with the pit file) and I got a bootloop. I guess I'll give VRALJB a try after it downloads. Any other suggestions would be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaebond:
So I ended up finding just the most random fix. While I was waiting for VRALJB to download, I was playing with my phone, and I decided to boot into (stock) recovery. Well, when it came up, it said that it couldn't mount /data. So I thought, hey, why not try a data & cache wipe, which I did. Then when it came back, it didn't say anything about not being able to mount /data, as I would have expected. So I thought I would try booting again, and it booted right up just fine. Now I just have to go through root it again. :victory:

Hey guys,

Have this thing ordered, should be coming on Saturday.

I was just wondering if it was like the case with Samsung roms where apk's (particularly for the IR remote) were dependent on Sony's framework and wouldn't work on AOSP.

Seems like they wouldn't but I ask because there was talk of how well drivers were supported on their dev portal...

Hi,

I live in Sweden and my Galaxy Nexus is locked to a carrier, so I now want to unlock it.

When purchased my device was a yakjuxv -build. since then I modified it to a yakju -build.

does this change in build matter in regards to unlocking the device?

for instance, do the same unlock codes that work with a yakjuxv -build, also will be working with the yakju -build and vice versa?

Thanks!

Hi, I;ve posted here as this question is related to the Galaxy S4 I9505. I looked at the newbie thread but I thought this thread would be more relevant.

I've tried flashing to various ROMs, and I;ve found that a lot of them are simply "unsuccessful" when it try ti install them.

When I came to flashing the Omega ROM, the systems just "hanged" on the first boot up.

Am I doing something wrong?

The way I did it was this...

Installed Odin 1.85 and flashed the Open root file and then the team win file.

Then I assessed the recovery program on the phone, dalvik wiped it and then tried to install the Omega .zip file?

I also noticed that the Google edition ROM from Jamal behaved the same way, However CM 11 flashed fine?

what am I doing wrong?

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:00 AM ----------

if the md5 checks out or you re downloaded the rom and it still brings that error you can always do this but be sure your tablet is the correct tablet. deleting this line will allow the rom to be installed on any device without checks.

the credit for these instructions go to sammyz on android central

You do this with 7-Zip/WinRAR

Note: DO NOT EXTRACT ROM!

In the ROM go to:

/META-INF/com/google/android/updater-script

1)Open updater-script with a script editor such as notepad/notepad++ (makes things 10x easier), or gedit if you use linux

2)Delete the first line of code (all the way up to the first semicolon you see) and delete the first semi-colon as well

Do not go past the first semiclon when deleteing and DO NOT forget to delete the first semicolon.
