So what versions of gapps are you using then? do you prevent Google to update it?
[HTC One X] BeniGZL:
Hi,

I disabled this features, tested it for a while and still battery is not good...

any more suggestions?

Thanks
[HTC One X] teemo:
What do you see in battery stats (Settings-Battery) ?

Could you send a bugreport.

After you have the drain, just go to Settings-SlimCenter and tap Bugreport. The report will be created on SDCard in the Slim folder. Just send the bugreport.zip to my gmail.com account: teemodk

SlimCenter must have root access for bugreport to work.
[HTC One X] winesh:
Hmm that's a good one, because Google apps always update. I'm on mini build 7-187, but I didn't noticed any gapps updates besides play services.

But it could also be the rom what is causing this drain.

When I was on my temporary phone gt-i9300, is also immediately flashed slimkat 7.9 with build mini gapps 7-187. And later flashed 8.2 with mini gapps 8 and also noticed a drain. So I assumed it was gapps because the differences between 7.9 and 8.2 weren't that big.
[HTC One X] Nemesis1278:
I was wondering if there was an option to change the default font? I didn't find an option in settings but I may have missed it. Thanks in advanced.
[HTC One X] teemo:
You can only change size of font from settings.

Try some of the apps on PlayStore. iFont or similar.

Thanks I'm using ifont and its working pretty well. Also I notice that sometimes I send a text and then it sends the text 6 times sometimes. I'm not sure why that is. Any input would be appreciated.
[HTC One X] teemo:
Is that from standard messaging app?

gapps

Hey,

everytime I update my HOX, my AppStore dont work after. I get a notification about "gsf.login" is missing, and when I go inside the Market it reloads everytime, like it opens itself over and over. Sometimes I can select my googleAccount but this keeps reopening too. Some other GoogleApps (like Hangouts) are missing the PlayServices too.

flashed boot.img via fastboot and rebooted to recovery (TWRP 2.8.*)

wiped System/Cache/dalvik

Installed SlimKAT

installed gapps (mini 282)

wiped cache/dalvik (this doesn't change anything)

reboot

What am I doing wrong? Why is the Marked after an updated broken?
[HTC One X] mrsmtt:
You haven't mentioned flashing the boot.img included in the rom.. have you done this?
[HTC One X] Nemesis1278:
Yes it is from the standard messaging app.
[HTC One X] treecity:
ah sry, yes I did.

gsf.login, Hangouts and co needing gms but it looks like I can't use the marked without gsf.login to download the lates gms. Or did I miss something.
[HTC One X] Nemesis1278:
Before you start be sure to make a backup.

I noticed that you are wiping system/cache/dalvik. I am wondering if you are wiping data as well. If you are trying to do a clean install then you should also wipe data. You can also try doing a factory reset and then wiping cache and dalvik.

Then install slimkat and then install gapps.

Also try installing boot.img from from seperate as suggested in a prior response.
[HTC One X] treecity:
No I didn't wipe Data, because I updated from SlimKAT 8.2.4.

Had this Problem from 8.0.x to 8.2.x too, but I somehow magicaly solved it last time. But I tried so many things that I don't know what acutally solved it. This can't be the solution.
[HTC One X] teemo:
Mine does not have this problem. Im on 8.2.

Did you make a clean install or just dirty update ?

Don't know if there is an easy way to reset system data only, but this method does it:

Boot to recovery ( TWRP )

Home - Mount - "Data"

Home - Advanced - File Manager

Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings

Tap Select - Delete - Confirm

Go to /data/data/com.android.settings

Tap Select - Delete - Confirm

Home - Install - SlimKat-xyz.zip (Flash the ROM)

Reboot

Worth a try before you do a wipe all data :(

You will however need to setup the system again (but not any user apps).
[HTC One X] teemo:
I wonder if SlimTeam are serious, mentioning this in changelog (see post 2):

Note: Due to sync issues, we've relabeled the build to 8.6.1 and restarted jenkins. We recommend everyone to update when available.

I have not had time to test yet. Do all have this problem on 8.6.1 ?

Could you eventually try to install the Normal GAPPS, thats the one I have used lately without issues.
[HTC One X] treecity:
As I posted later, I had this problem from 8.0.x to 8.2.x too. And yes I've tried using the gapps normal, but it didn't work either.
[HTC One X] milomak:
for those that use facebook, do you find that the data usage is above 50MB?

any ideas what data it stores?
[HTC One X] teemo:
Got the same error now with new ROM and gapps (282 mini and normal) - it does not accept my account. Deleting and recreating not possible either.

Restored my 8.2.4 backup and all is good again. I can delete my google account and create it again, so it is not Google servers.

For now please don't use 8.6.1 unless there is found a solution.
[HTC One X] treecity:
I solved it for me by manually copying the GMS.apk into one of the app folders.
[HTC One X] teemo:
I don't use facebook much, but have it installed. Here is my data:

82MB in /data/data/com.facebook.katana

this includes a video cache (32MB - 4 videos), 5MB databases, 32MB of ".dex" files, 7MB cache and 5MB lib/*.so files

42MB: /data/app/com.facebook.katana-2.apk

5MB in /data/app-lib/....

[HTC One X] teemo:
Cool. THANKS! Excelent.

I made a zip we can flash after flashing gapps. Uploaded same place as the ROM.

Updating post 2. . . . .
[HTC One X] treecity:
I still wonder why, it won't install itself like in 8.2.4 or befor.
[HTC One X] milomak:
what are the dex files for?
[HTC One X] vbaros:
Guys did you just try to install Google Play Services manually? That solved it for me a few posts ago on the previous build.
[HTC One X] teemo:
Lol yes. I just found it was easier to flash a backup from recovery, when we are already flashing ROM and gapps.

I really thought the ROM was broken, but so far it seems okay. Miss the extras though, so they should come soon :)
[HTC One X] teemo:
In my case, because somehow the account was not working. Play store need an active account to update.
[HTC One X] treecity:
For those who just updated, you could edit the gapps.zip and remove those, delete GSM lines inside the update script.
[HTC One X] asp2010:
They are Dalvik Executables. They're the thing that actually gets run by your phone, in some way like exe files on Windows. The app's package (apk) gets compiled into these when installed and ran on your phone.

[MENTION=698346]teemo[/MENTION] flasing that gapps package didn't help. I had the same error again in the play store. I had to install Google Play Services apk manually and reboot for it to start working again.

Notice that I use Faux, if that overwrites anything.

I had to install everything in this order: rom, Slim_normal_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-282, your additionall gms.zip and the faux modules.
[HTC One X] teemo:
Well, either the problem is fixed now or it is a conflict with old data.

I just installed the new ROM and gapps 282 after FULL wipe, including Data. No issues. Account registers in first try. No idea what happened.
[HTC One X] vbaros:
I usually try to avoid reinstalling everything. I guess I will have the same problem on every update now.
[HTC One X] dodjob:
Hi,

tried to update and it is a mess :(

I'M on 8.6.1 and stable 282 Gapps. I tried to do it like advised (with GSM update) I get a "impossible to connect server"

I tried without flashing the zip and it somehow open a new page with "verbindung wird hergestellt" and.. well.. it won't...

Any hint?

It's of course on full wipe (except sd)

**EDIT** Seems to be a ****ty fritzbox problem. no android got internet even with the connection active -.-' mmmh

Grüß,

H.

*** DOUBLE-EDIT** they had WPA + C## by default. this dind't work with any android. switch to standard wpa and it's all right. on 8.6.1 + beta Gapps :)) **
[HTC One X] tijuanacartel:
Guys I'm just guessing here but these sync issues may be related to google patching to fix POODLE.

Since a lot of androids will fall back to sslv3 by design, they would have needed to update play services.

And on slim I have noticed, play service doesn't always update the way that it should.

Sent from my One X
[HTC One X] teemo:
I think this is temporary. And no need to wipe data, I might have been lucky when I did. Other were not. Just dirty flash and see what happens. If no luck, then flash or install gsm or whatever is needed.

Should not be your Fritzbox. Neither wpa or any other connection. My bet is on the poodle like tijuanacartel say.

[IMG="POODLE"]http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Google-Poodle-640x353.jpg[/IMG]

It could be other than just Slim. Though he got a different error message.

In some cases I don't get a message, but it looks like PlayMarked rapidly open multiple times. Reboot and flashing gsm fixed it for me two times.

But I am aware of that this may be a coinsidence, the error seem to be random.

BTW Build 8.6.3 is uploaded with the usual extras.
[HTC One X] RFOX100:
Thanks for it man
[HTC One X] GreekPilot:
Is it safe to install 8.6.3 with extras or we have to wait?
[HTC One X] teemo:
Just make a backup from recovery, then it is easy to go back if you cannot sign in to Google. But try the fix first.

Except from the sign in problems, you can dirty flash without issues.
[HTC One X] GreekPilot:
[MENTION=698346]teemo[/MENTION], do you suggest s-off, unlocked bootloader or both...?
[HTC One X] asp2010:
I might not be that up to date with what's happening, but I don't think there's any way to get S-OFF for the HOX. Unlocking the bootloader would be your only option.

[HTC One X] Nemesis1278:
So my install seemed to be fine at first glance but then I noticed sound search was not syncing and not all of my apps were restoring using either titanium or from recovery data restore. I installed 8.6.3 and did a full wipe. I am not sure why some apps restored and some did not. I have since then restored back to 8.2.4. Just thought I would share my experience and perhaps it will help provide some insight.
[HTC One X] dodjob:
Soooo After one day of use. IT WAS THE S H I T T Y BOX ^^ Things are well on this matter.

Now I do have another "problemchen" I listen trap music. I NEED BASS. I use Viperfx (with superSU) and it has performed as espected quite well until this update. (I use the 4.3 version)

Since 8.6.1, it doesn't completely work, most of it does, like equaliser, effect strengh or even the viper bass (set at 40Hz <3). The "convoler" effect on the other side (sony bass + tube for my use) don't, doesn't "launch/start", It says nothing but.. no change in sound. I wil try to check why. BUT if anybody knows what the problem is, it would help

Gruß,

H.

PS: no need to "check" the poodle then ^^

**EDIT**

FOUND :) I had to manually set the output effect to Viper:

Settings -> Sound -> Music effects -> V4A

**** yeah. rom is 100% working <3
[HTC One X] teemo:
Since you already use a custom ROM, your HOX is definitely unlocked. S-off don't give you anything new, it just let you flash the kernel from the phone. As asp said, we cannot get it unless we send the phone to a company that has the right tools.... and pay.
[HTC One X] GreekPilot:
I know that we can't have s-off for HOX. Just wondering generally what is best. The only difference I have found is flashing kernel...
[HTC One X] tijuanacartel:
After waiting for google play to update itself, i dirty flashed 8.6.4 over previous 8.2. Happy to say it is working perfectly so far and buttery smooth. Another great job teemo.
[HTC One X] asp2010:
Assuming there was a reversible software S-OFF solution, that would be better in case you had to send your phone for repair. When you unlock via htc-dev, your phone shows unlocked status and there will be a record kept of your actions, which could result in being denied warranty claims. With S-OFF, your bootloader would still be locked, so you shouldn't have such problems.

Also, as you have noticed, the htc-dev unlock doesn't give you full access (e.g. writing to boot or recovery from recovery), which S-OFF would.

Of course, there might be more risks involved with an S-OFF solution, which would usually be achieved through an exploit, than with HTC's official unlock.

Other than that, I can see any reason for one being better than the other.

In fact, there are two sets of 4.4.4 gapps on slimroms.net.

265, and 282. The first one works fine, while the latter one is a trouble maker. There must be something scr***ing up everything.

Thanks, mate...
[HTC One X] teemo:
The install script will backup some files before wiping. After wipe it will restore it again. Gapps should be included in this backup. I have not studied exactly what is restored though.

Wiping system before flash is done to make sure that you have a fresh system without old crap included.

No, I noticed more drain too. Don't know the reason yet. Maybe my latest dirty flashes. Maybe gapps, they seem to be more aggressive on tracking your location. Maybe because I experiment with the Lion Tamer. Unfortunately it can take a few days to settle.
