i did that XML edit and it now is menu as i want it to be, but now i cant long press for recents anymore..!?! do I have to enter another line in that file with APP SEARCH or something..?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Alternatively, you can install xposed framework and use Gravitybox for KitKat module to get your hardware key settings.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
gonna give it a shot..

---------- Post added at 12:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

so it works decent.. only thing is, i dont like the 3 icons on the bottom of the screen that replicate our 3 soft keys "back, home, recents" that come with xposed.. anyway to remove these from within GravityBox because I dont see it..?!? thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
That's called Navigation Bar. I don't have GBox installed, but look for something named that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Gravity box for KitKat has option for hardware keys. What you're talking about is navigation keys which you need to disable.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
I'm using GB, but I dont see an option to disable the navigation keys... What i been doing is going to settings, navigation, navigation bar, and than I have to enable and disable navigation bar and it removes those keys... But this seems to only be a temp fix, because once you reboot, they come right back again...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
Only thing I can think of is maybe you downloaded the wrong module? There are two gravity box, one for jellybean and one for KitKat. Other than that, I don't know what to say since I've used the gravity box for KitKat without any issues with a KitKat ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
Nope, I'm using GravityBox (KK) so I know its the right one.. Also, on the Navigation Keys portion, I changed my recents button to a menu button with shortpress, and recent apps upon long press, but recent apps upon long press doesn't work..

Can someone else check out their GB settings to verify that I'm not going crazy lol..?!?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
Posted 2.4 beta. I set dpi to standard 320 in build.prop feel free to adjust it to 245 if you like the default slim setting.

:)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamesb85:
It's not going to be navigation..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
GPS is working fine on this rom if thats what you mean.

also keep in mind xposed wont work with ART for those trying it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamesb85:
My bad, should have quoted previous response. We also may have posted at same time. Didn't see yours. The fella that wants to customize hardware keys is getting confused by the navigation bar properties. Also, one thing I noticed with the method of manually editing the text file to change hardware keys is that "hold for recents" only works on home screen, not in apps. Currently running previous build
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
Yeah I see now. Ive been in the slimusers channel all day forgive me...:silly:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
I'm not really confused, just haven't messed with 4.4.2 yet so im still learning what we can and can't modify just yet..

---------- Post added at 09:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:46 PM ----------

is the DPI setting the only thing diff in 2.4 beta..??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
Oh no there were serveral changes, the dpi was the only thing I made different from B 2.3.

The full list of changes is available on the slimroms website. The most obvious addons are slider torch and listview animations have been added to 2.4. :victory:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
sweet, thanks..!!

Hey oxy do u kno how i can enable my ext sd to view my music and pictures on it..?? I remember this issue from when going from cm10.1 to cm10.2 and they made a flashable zip that swapped storage or something like that, somehow it made my ext sd viewable in gallery for pics/vids, and it made my music in play music visible as well.. And also, is there a way to see my Facebook friends phone numbers in my "people" app just like from the Sense 5 roms..??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
also, GPS doesnt seem to be working for me.. When I click the button to locate me it alerts me to turn on *High Accuracy Mode, however idk what that is..?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] buckhunter:
Goto settings/location then choose it at the top ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Is there a way to change governors and I/O Schedulers with this ROM? I can't find those kind of options.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
You could use kernel tuner if there isn't anything built in to make any adjustments.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
just thought I'd share the battery life screenie is with data, location and sync off for most of the day and 5hrs of me sleeping but none the less! I did some Facebook, took a bunch of pictures made a few phone calls and sent a bunch of texts plus downloaded over 100 songs on Spotify so it's not like my phone just sat with the screen off all day ;) take it as u wish
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
and 1 more at 3%;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Stock or haunted kernel?

What governor and IO?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
Stock kernel and settings I haven't touched performance settings at all :)

Would be interactive and row
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] physix:
I must say -- I'm loving this ROM.

Fast, responsive, snappy!

And with GravityBox, I got my CM-like button controls back.

Am I the only one, however, whose camera crashes after every photo?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
I haven't seen that with the camera so far, just tested
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Is there a way to change the hardware buttons? Recent apps to Menu and long press for recent apps?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
My camera is working fine
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I didn't even try to use the prebuilt camera. I installed a different one with Photosphere. I will say that the previous version of SlimKat worked with it, but this one crashes if I select Photosphere.

EDIT - There wasn't any problem with the new build. I was using the wrong camera install. Once I used the same one as before it worked just fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jamesb85:
My camera zoom won't sick.. Tried taking a photo yesterday inside Facebook messenger. The finished photo always came out as of I hadn't zoomed in... Strange... But no crashing to date..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Anyone experiencing bad data? I can't get a 3G signal.:confused:
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
3g and lte are pretty solid here try toggling airplane mode.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
Oh I should've thought of that. Thanks man :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] v01rider:
Bump
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
To bad there isnt a way to implement the other 4.4.2 roms feature, in settings where it has that [Fn] button that allows u to change ur recents/menu buttons and such..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
As of right now this is really ment to give the jewel owners a base slimkat. While we COULD start introducing cherry picks from other roms, id rather stay on track with SlimRoms git hub until things are a bit more stable. I will look into it though and see if its easily doable and doesnt cause the phone to blow up ;)

I did look into porting tmobile theme manager as well...theoreticaly it could be done, but ive heard from the actual devs of this rom that it causes hangups with TRDS.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] negativzeroe:
How do I get the three dot menu in everything?

Sent from my juiced Sense 5 Evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
There is a 3 dot mod xposed module you can try.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] negativzeroe:
Link?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/it.tnx.xposednavbarmod
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
meanwhile I was lookin for a way to remove that mod lol... GravityBox FTW..!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] negativzeroe:
Thanks man since I never used xposed before I had to do more work but its all good now!

Sent from my juiced Sense 5 Evo.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
Yeah xposed is def one way to get your rom to act the way you like. The only downside i can see is not being able to use ART runtime.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
Any way to get a slide 2 wake feature on KitKat yet..??
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
That's a kernel feature. You'll need to wait for a custom kernel to be built. I know, I want s2w too lol
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jschill31:
Hello,

You can easily add s2w on our msm8960 kernel. Several of us have it thanks to thicklizard's code. If you build at home just bake it in, I do on both my CM11 build as well as my Slimkat. If you know how to cherry pick just grab it here: https://github.com/thicklizard/cm-otg-patch/commits/master and make sure to thank thicklizard! Also need to thank the Captain, he is actually who turned me on to adding it. Works very well. If you are not sure how to cherry pick then do it the hard way and create blank docs and insert the code. Then sync as normal but before you build replace the 4 files pulled with your newly created files. Then build as normal... Then all is needed to turn the feature on in your rom is one of the tuner apps which has the on/off for s2w.

Cheers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Nice! Appreciate this information. Gonna copy and paste so I can save it lol. Only problem is with this method, you can't add to pre-built ROMs like Deck's and Haus's, you have to build from source without their tweaks. I build maybe once a week so I'll try tonight, thanks again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jschill31:
Hello,

In theory I would think you could copy over the kernel to another rom. I have never tried it but as far as I know everyone uses the same source files so the kernel's should be the same. If the rom is using a custom kernel this would obviously be a different story. As far as I know nothing is different except for the 4 modified files containing the new code. I am not a dev by any means but have been tinkering for a few years now. Someone who has more experience please correct me if I am wrong.

Cheers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
I understand. I'll try that first then.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jschill31:
You would need to build it once first (with thick's code) before trying. I am really not sure how it would work, you may need to unpack the zimage and re-pack with the new. Or maybe just coping over raw files and changing permissions? I am sure someone on this thread can give you the exact process...maybe even build and create a zip for all.

Cheers
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
Yah I've flashed kernels before that were S2W friendly so I kno about it, i was j/w if we had any custom kernels for this rom yet... I read somewhere that Haunted and MAC were working on something but not sure of its legitimacy...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
This rom was built using the CyanogenMod kernel (3.4.76) for the jewel with the interest of it being as vanilla base as possible. I would imagine any kitkat sourced kernel

could

work, but i have not attemted any of that....yet... flash at your own peril ;)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
damn, sounds a bit to technical for me..!! I'll just wait til one of u more practiced individuals tries it and can confirm it works than I'll wait for the DIY solution to adding it in my rom haha.. Thanks for all the great info tho..!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
OK SlimRoms released RC1 on Sunday, its up in the OP

http://d-h.st/osU
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] v01rider:
can this be dirty flashed, or should it be a full wipe since its an rc1?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
You should be fine with a dirty flash
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
I'm noticing that I have to toggle airplane mode more and more frequently, I only had to do it like once a day last week but now it's several times a day... Is this fixed in the Weekly Release..?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
I've had better luck with data on the rc than on the last build and I'm in a horrible spot for data
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lreyes:
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/news/417-slimkat-4-4-2-build-2-5-rc1

Here's the changelog
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] welshwarriorsf:
So when you first flash the rom and it says to activate it press 1, it always says for me that it failed. Then it goes on to say 'Activate mobile data service' and it keeps going on and on forever. Can someone tell me how this process is suposed to work out?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
yeah p much all kitkat builds get this as of now...i just wait to hear the operator talk then hang up, then press skip then skp again

will go to ask for wifi connection then you should be on track :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jdmsohc22:
How do I get Google play to read music from my SD card and not just internal memory..?? I have over 1000 songs but my phones only showing not even 20% of them, I've ran into this on all KitKat roms.. Thanks..
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] numel007:
Download a media rescan app. The app doesn't allow specific folder selection unfortunately so if the rescan doesn't help then you'll need a new player.

Sent from my EVO
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Great ROM so far. I have been on SlimRoms for quite sometime on several devices. I did change the DPI to 320 so I can see it better. Also installed Xposed framework to tweak a little. Works great. Thank you. Just a side note works just fine being s-on as I am still s-on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
Weekly 2.6 RC2

SlimKat Weekly 2.6 RC2

http://d-h.st/9ai

Tweaks I added to this build:

-cherry picked "clear all" button to recents

-cherry picked Network Speed Indicator to status bar settings

-set dpi to 320 default. This can be set to slim's 245 using textdroider_dpi app included.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Epicardium:
Data usage, in settings, apparently is showing my WiFi usage. Normally this should show just cellular data. Any way to fix this? I'm on rc1.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
It usually gives you the option for both. Mobile or WiFi.

If that is a deal breaker I'd flash the rc2 build then
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Are there any kernel changes to RC2? I wouldn't ask if I wasn't S-on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
nope not really. Same sources used for the kernel.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
So I can flash this build without having to flash the boot.img?!?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
I looked into this and I could not find a reasonable answer. For now if this tool isn't working there are several free apps in the play store that can accomplish data tracking. I will keep looking for a fix though.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
You should be fine. :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Epicardium:
I dirty flashed RC2 over RC1 and all is well, but I still don't have the option to show data usage for cell only. There is no menu option for choosing it.

Yeah, it's not a big deal but I'm on Pageplus and I have 500MB/mo, so I keep pretty close tabs on my usage. I'll just use a 3rd party app for now. Thanks for looking into it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JManekia:
I've been on RC2 for almost a week and it is a solid KitKat rom. Everything is stable. I've had sketchy experience with data on KitKat roms but data here is pretty stable as well. I am able to stream tunein radio with little interruptions.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Voicemail Notifications

I have been using this ROM since the first build came out (many thanks). And I just realized - I haven't been getting any notifications when someone leaves me a voicemail. I do get a "missed call" notification, but nothing if they leave a message. Is this a problem for others, and is there a way to fix it? (BTW - I'm using Ting)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ADM818:
I think you have to have a voicemail application installed. Do you have one?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
+1 i switched my VM to google Voice a while back and its been working flawless.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
No, I hadn't installed any 3rd party voicemail apps. Since your reply, I tried several different apps so far, but I obviously just don't get it. None of them are working properly for me so far. But I'll keep on trying.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sezzme:
What I do when I think I have voice mail is to check manually by dialing my # and listening to it over phone 'old fashion way' you need sprint voice mail app which I don't think is available for anything besides sense Roms
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] NaterTots:
Actually it should work on non sense Roms. Look on xda for the sprint visual Voicemail apk.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
I use YouMail available in the playstore. I have always had issues with receiving voice mail and that app took care of it.

I searched, I found this thread, and it works great! Thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
Hey goblin I was just wondering if you were going to have an update for any of your roms with the new partition sizes to accommodate those who upgraded to sense 4.3, I know capt. Talked to deck about updating cm but did he talk to you yet?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Yeah [MENTION=2955315]GoblinZ[/MENTION] stop being a slacker and update :silly:.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scataldo721:
That isn't what I meant haha. I was just wondering not that I don't love 4.3 just I miss some things about KK and his roms were some of my favorites and would definitely like to use them again...but I know these things take time
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Anyone else having issues with Torch? It will not stay on if the screen times out . Or is there something I am missing?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] abbazaba:
Same here
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
Is gps working for anyone?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
It seems to be working for me a.t.m.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
Its seems to be working on the new release
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] abbazaba:
I can't believe how quiet this thread is. I've been using this as my daily driver for a couple weeks and love it... Great stability. Dirty flashed 2.8 and its still going strong. GPS does seem like it may have an issue though as Maps could not find my location the other day. Is there a kernel I should try that places nice with this rom?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ADM818:
I don't think there are any kernels compatible with 4.4 yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mcwups1:
None that any are sharing here, anyway.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Just wanted to say thank you for a great rom. Have been running the RC3 since last weekend and it seems to be stable (for the most part). I could not flash RC3 by itself. I had to flash RC1 first then jump to RC3.

Still having an issue with Torch not staying active when the screen times out. (No big deal)

Seems like I do not get my Exchange email as fast as I used to. Took 4 hours to receive an email. Yes I have Exchange set to PUSH all email, as this is my work phone and I need the emails as soon as they are sent.

I will look into the build prop and see if anything there is stopping both of these from working properly.

Either way, I can not do what you do, so I have no right to complain about anything!!!! The rom is still kicka33. Battery life is through the roof. Lastest 18 hours without charge.

Again thank you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
It is strange that required a dirty flash, when i build these i actually full wipe, then flash, and test before i go public with them. Torch behavior seems normal, i turned it on and the screen did not shut off. If you force the screen off then yes it will shut off. Exchange data behavior i cant test because i don't use that as an email service. If you have tweaked the settings to push then that's all that can be done. If you find anything in that build prop that fixes it let me know i can roll it into the next build :).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Maybe I stated that wrong.

When I activate torch as soon as the screen times out, Torch (the actual flash) will shut off. When you turn on the screen (from being timed out), the Torch app will state it is active but you can see the flash is NOT active.

I haven't got into the build prop as of yet.

Thank you for your reply.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Pie and ribbons working? Changelog links don't bring me to anything for this device. Screenshots show yes, but are screens of 4.3. I posted in one these two threads, and don't see my post anywhere. Sorry.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
Pie: yes as of RC3

Ribbons: no
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
As far as Torch is concerned, it has to be modified in the AndroidManifest.xml.

I have not found anything on Exchange email yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
My screen isn't timing out while torch is active. EDIT: I setup to shut off and sure enough if it shuts off with the screen, or if I shut it off manually the torch will also. I imagine you somewhere in a dark attic or under a car changing oil in the middle of the night cursing my name...but in all seriousness does this happen on other kitkat roms...besides any of mine i mean?

I looked through packages/apps/Torch/AndroidManifest.xml, not seeing anything there. Had another dev test this behavior on omni and its also happening there is why i say its working "as designed. I DID however have it simply shut off after some time with the screen still on and the notification stated "Torch ON" but Ive had that problem since as long as I can remember with the AOSP torch.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] scottspa74:
Thank you, goblinz. It's fu*&ing great you're supporting this device. You don't even have it, correct? You've been putting mass time into compiling it to share. We should donate. I haven't yet, I know. But still, your time and work is so super appreciated. Thank you. A lot.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
My screen is set to sleep after 1 min of inactivity.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
Nope I'm still rockin a Jewel X) probably will till that m8 surfaces. I don't have any donate stuff setup, I think that belongs to the full time devs that make these roms, I'm just doing this for fun :cyclops: Long as people still are interested in this device ill keep building for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GoblinZ:
I replied above sorry didn't see this get posted. Do you experience this behavior on other kit kat roms?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Yours is the only KitKat ROM I have used and probably the only one I will use being as it is a Slim build. I have not experienced this on any AOSP ROMs or any Slim builds. This is the first time Torch has done this.

I come from SlimBean on this device and have become partial to the Slim builds. Being as they are the most stable ROMs I have found.

How can I take a look at AndroidManifest.XML file? I am not doubting you (you know more about this I do). I'm just interested.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
Torch turns off with screen on beanstalk also just FYI
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] niteNarmor:
Torch

Ok. I am very new to modifying .apk's but I was able to open up the AndroidManifest.xml in SlimKat and SlimBean (in notepad, which I am pretty sure is the wrong way to look at it, like 100% wrong). But I found the two codes are completely different. I am not sure how to modify apks so I will leave it alone.

But I uninstalled the SlimKat Torch.apk. Rebooted device. Installed the Torch.apk from SlimBean and now it works. The flash (or light) will actually stay on when the screen goes to sleep or you turn the screen off manually.

Obviously this is not the correct way to modify these (actually no mod at all) but I am willing to learn how. Anything I able to give back after all the dev's have done, even if it is this small, I will do.

And yes, if there is enough interest I will upload the Torch.apk from SlimBean.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] thewind730:
Please do I like being able to turn the screen off while having the flashlight on!
