I'm such an idiot. It will not work without some changes to /etc/init.d

These changes will fix the broken "app_process" at startup. They will also enable Xposed to work with SELinux.

It all worked great before I reset my system lol.

Read on further down...

Cool. Very pleased to hear. Thanks!

Does it work without any kernel change ? The relabel-stuff should not work without changes to kernel.... or maybe ??

Well yes. I uploaded an updated build. Please download THIS and flash it. You must also fastboot flash the boot.img.

So:

1 Download and flash ROM and "fastboot flash boot boot.img" and "fastboot erase cache"

2 Boot and let the ROM "settle", don't bother setup anything new for now.

3 Enable root for Apps and ADB in Developer settings

4 Enable Unknown sources in Settings-Security

5 Install latest Xposed (mine is v25_36)

6 When apk is installed press "Open" and press "Framework"

7 Press Install/Update (it should ask for root here)

8 Press Reboot (do not use Soft Reboot)

9 When booted, you will probably get errors. Dont worry - just force boot again. 10 sec. on power button.

Now it should boot and all set for Xposed :)
[HTC One X] cappuccina:
So this is the same build from 01.02. with just the boot.img different?

Or anything else changed?

sent from my slimmed Kitty Kat
[HTC One X] teemo:
Yes, same build but with two changes. I added the fixes to "/system/etc/init.d/50selinuxrelabel". And I replaced the kernel image.

50selinuxrelabel is probably running too late, thats why you need an extra reboot.

It need to run before the app_process daemon is started. Room for improvement.
[HTC One X] AkFatherof4nCounting:
Worked flawlessly, thank you Sir.

4.4.2.build.2.6.RC2

RC2 is up. Enjoy.
[HTC One X] thom@s:
Great thank you ! SK is nice... What shall we expect from RC2 ?
[HTC One X] teemo:
Mainly bug fixes. A lot if you look at the changelog. Just follow the link in first post.

I just installed it now, so have not had time to look for new stuff.

First impression is more smooth. More responsive. But honestly, that is too early to say now.

Flashing on top of RC1 was no problem - all seem good.

Reactivation of xposed gave no problems. It also installed without errors on a clean ROM with only gapps installed.
[HTC One X] limzm:
My apologies if I did not notice that it's been mentioned. It has been since long I've used my One X because I cracked the screen lol.

I suppose I know what to do from here, thanks!
[HTC One X] teemo:
No.

I don't see any and have not heard about any :)

Slim don't use CM themes, they are building their own.
[HTC One X] 97_3:
No crashes at all. This is a very stable ROM.

Skickat från min One X via Tapatalk
[HTC One X] ViperFred:
I think the CM crashes is related to the theme manager. Let's hope slim doesn't merge it util it's more stabil.
[HTC One X] limzm:
Well I've been following Slim's updates and I have to say they will not use CM's theme engine. They are writing their own theme engine from scratch.

Great Work

First oft all thank you 4 the great ROM and greatfull support 4 the good old HOX :D

Everything runs fast and quick. Batterylife is OK, not better then SD SenseROMs, but New er :D.

But one question: the screenresolution... My eyes are bleeding. I am 40 years old, settled big letters and it is soooooo small... Can I change it into normal HOX resolution?

Now I can't read news in Browser. And one function in the Browser doesnt work. I have to scroll soooo much through the sides, cause the letters overfill the screen. I don't know the right word 4 the function you can set up in the Browser. The letters will automatically sorted normally. But in your Rom this Future doesnt work 4 me.

Any Idea for the two points?

Thanks and best regards to the Team. You did a great Work :D
[HTC One X] kalimpula123:
Worse picturequality

I also love that ROM!!!! It's my favorite Non-Sense-ROM. All other ROMS without Sense are very buggy. Your ROM is better then the others. :cool:

But what about the picturequality? I use your Stock and the Googlecam for now. Both cams are horrible. It seems like made from cheepest phone.

Do you know how I can use the much more better Sensecam. Better quality, Colors and Function. I can handle the Sensecam much more snappier. And I think it is an important hardware in the HOX. Why we are happy with bad quality, I can`t believe.

The Other Point is the Sound: for SenseROMS are some good Tweaks flashable, but not for nonsenseROMs. It`s all so extrem silent and sounds not clear. Can you present a solution? :highfive::D

Lovely regards
[HTC One X] cuzzo94:
search on play store for any dpi changer app and set it to 320 :)
[HTC One X] shibabz03:
is there a way i can change my lockscreen wallpaper??
[HTC One X] teemo:
Not included in the ROM. If you install Xposed it will be possible. Look here.

Picture quality is debatable ;)

But I absolutely agree, that Sense cam feel much much better and is much faster to work with.

I can only advice you to check out some cams from PlayStore. i have just installed "A Better Camera" and first impression is actually: Better.

I feels fast like Sense, but I am yet to check out the features and picture quality. Long time ago I bought HDR Camera+ from same author and that licence is still included in A Better Camera app.

Try and let us know what is working :)

Sound can be much approved with Viper4Android. Remove DSP Manager first from SlimCenter.

Google has decided that we dont need Word Wrap / Reflow in our browsers anymore. Many people are crying over this, but they don't care.

AOSP browser was perfect in JellyBean, but now on KitKat it sucks.

The only decent browser I have found that can reflow text is Dolphin with JetPack (you need both).

Opera browser can do as well, but I dont like it :p

There is an app in PlayStore that can change DPI - search this thread (I don't remember the name).

you can also install Xposed and use a modúle called App Settings to adjust DPI and text size individually for all your apps :)
[HTC One X] ViperFred:
Sounds great!
[HTC One X] ViperFred:
Is there any possibility to set lock screen shortcuts in SlimKAT? Can't find the setting (if present).

Thanks!
[HTC One X] asp2010:
Sure! Go to Settings -> Security -> Slider targets and shortcuts :D
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Thanks to [MENTION=698346]teemo[/MENTION] and [MENTION=2389098]Iwarsson[/MENTION] (to whom I wish quick recovery!) I just finished installing Slim ROM to my HOX.

First I updated hboot (yes, teemo, you told me I don't have to :) ), flashed twrp 2.7, made a nandroid, and then flashed the ROM and slim apps AIO.

While Google is restoring my apps, I have to share some comments before I start enjoying the ROM.

- twrp cannot mount usb storage for some reason. any ideas as to why? :confused:

- the phone cannot mount usb storage to my laptop (WIn 7 Ultimate 64 bit) :confused: everything used to work fine before.

- do I still have to prevent Google Play Services from updating. there's been some advices about it before.

- do I still have to delete DSP manager (from slimsizer)?

- superuser needs binaries update.

These are my first baby steps with this rom, so any assistance is more than welcome. I will come back with more crying as I progress through setting up the phone. :eek: ;) :silly:

Other than that - the ROM is real revelation. It's so quick, and smooth that I am really surprised. Stock dpi setup is also a refreshment. I really do feel like a have a new phone. :cool:

Really great job [MENTION=698346]teemo[/MENTION], and Slimrom team! :good:

EDIT: I just noticed that I lost my IMEI??!

EDIT 2: after reboot IMEI is back, but adb doesn't work. Could this be a recovery issue? I will try another one, just in case...
[HTC One X] asp2010:
No, and no.

You can do it through the app, even though it's not a big issue at all.

Can you give more details as to how it doesn't work? You might be having some driver issues, since you can't access USB storage as well. Could you maybe reinstall your drivers, or try on a linux computer?
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Mate, thanks for the reply.

Meanwhile, I restored the stock nandroid, changed the recovery to Philz 5.15.9, and now I have mounted sd storage, which allowed me to also format this partition.

At this moment I am restoring some of the folders back, and preparing for another flashing. This time I want to do clean-clean install.

Regarding Superuser update - it says that binaries were out of date, and suggested to do it through recovery (recommended for HTC devices). When I tap this button, superuser reports an error and my phone remains unrooted.

Let's see if adb will work after this install. I will come back as soon as that is done.
[HTC One X] asp2010:
PhilZ recovery is a good choice, much better than TWRP IMHO :good:

Unrooted? That shouldn't be the case. Even if the binaries are a bit out of date, they are still there and you can use them as normal. Just make sure you enable root access through Developer Options. Regarding the upgrading issue, it might be possible it didn't work because of TWRP. I remember trying both updating via recovery (PhilZ, so ClockworkMod) and normally, and they both worked. Maybe you can try again after you flash :)

Good luck!
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Philz recovery reports an error in rom.zip (status 7), and aborts!
[HTC One X] asp2010:
I've only just now seen you flashed PhilZ 5.x. In order to flash KitKat ROMs, you need version 6+, which has support for selinux. However, you won't be able to go back to a non-KitKat ROM without first changing to version 5, or another recovery.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
I figured that in the meantime, flashed cwm 6.0.4.8, and rom successfully flashed with slim aio gapps.

Silly me.

Now, let's see how the things are going further :)

I really want to use this rom, and there is a whole night in front of me :silly:
[HTC One X] teemo:
Superuser should work. No need to update, I have never had any problems with it. Just make sure first time you boot, to enable it in developers menu.

First time after installing recovery (twrp), I sometimes get errors about su and recovery ask to install Superuser. I always say NO.

/data and /system is per default not mounted in recovery, if you want to use commands from terminal or via adb, mount system first. Normal adb command will work, but you can not shell into system if not mounted :p

Many users had problems with kitkat, PC and sdcard. I think [MENTION=460472]eyosen[/MENTION] have a great guide to set it up somewhere (I'm on mobile now, and cannot find the link).

The only problem I have with new google is, that location service will not use wifi. A shame as itis much more precise than the gms towers. I have no idea how to fix it. I hard that other devices are O.K.

Oh and the gapps with TRDS switch will probably not switch colour if they are updated.

Edit: regarding sdcard mounting. Even when it does work, you may have to wait 30-60sec before it is recognized in windows/linux.

And a small tip: Some programs need your phone number. If you enter it manually in phone app settings, it should be recognized automatically. And it will show in "about" page.
[HTC One X] rkuijpers:
[MENTION=698346]teemo[/MENTION], little update about location being off with the latest play services:

I'm still trying to get it to work, I can't stand my phone location being so unreliable.

I tried the following, with a strange result:

I installed AppOps, so I could reconfigure the location permissions for each app.

Then I went back to an older play services, and location was perfect again. But all Google apps are either not working out crying about play services needing an upgrade, as we already knew.

I then went tinkering in AppOps, and revoked play services permission for location.

All apps still were able to get a location, but it was way off again, just like with the new play services installed! It was even the same (wrong) street and address...

As soon as I restored permission for play services, the location was perfect again in all apps.

This got me thinking: are you sure it's a bug in play services making location off?

Then why is precisely the same thing happening when you revoke location permission for the older, working play services? Where does this wrong location come from? It's always the same wrong location when I'm home, about 800 meters from my home adress (never been there).

Isn't there some, maybe older, service or app in Slimkat that is still trying to provide location, and that one is wrong?

If so, it might be that the older play services overwrites the false location that is provided, and the newer play services simply don't use (thus don't see and don't overwrite) the false location being reported and used?

As you said earlier, it's very strange that only our hox has these problems. I searched in fora for the same problem being reported, but found next to nothing really.

For a moment I thought installing the latest 4.4 play services fixed the problem, but a few minutes later, the same wrong location was being reported. Grrrrrrrrr.

I'll investigate and tinker some more, for now the only thing really working is installing older play services, as we already knew.

As I'm just a noob here, maybe someone with more knowledge of location services can find the error/bug/service that is causing it, and how to solve it?

I'll stop my little rant now, time for bed! [emoji6]

Slimkat is pure gold, keep up the good work teemo, it's much appreciated! [emoji106]

https://www.dropbox.com/s/hsppqfku0...ing for HOX under Windows 7 and Windows 8.pdf

Last I checked there was driver 4.10.
[HTC One X] teemo:
Yep, that's the one I used to revive my falling drivers at work. No problems at home with my linux, it always just work :D

Thanks a ton.
[HTC One X] teemo:
Actually, I don't think its a bug in google play. Its an incompatibility to work with with our drivers. To be more specific, our wifi divers.

I have not looked at it for some time now, maybe it is time to try again :)

What I think is happening: For some reason google don't use our wifi for location. What you see is google trying to get location from the gsm radio towers.

If you disable wifi and disable wifi location when wifi is off (advanced settings), do you get wrong location?

You can also look at the radius of the blue location circle, if gsm towers are used, it will be very big. With wifi or gps it is just a small blue dot.

I have tried this on both aicp and cm, so it is not only a slim problem.
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
It is working like a charm

[MENTION=698346]teemo[/MENTION], [MENTION=2389098]Iwarsson[/MENTION], [MENTION=3036437]asp2010[/MENTION]: guys, thank you so much for the support. :good: Last night (very late, though :) ) I finished installation and setup of my phone with SlimKat4.9. Left it overnight to settle, and have been playing with it since I got up :)

Super User updated automatically through recovery. I guess my first problems came from recovery. CWM 6.x.x.x eventually did the job, and that's all I care about. Didn't try connecting it with PC again, will try these days.

What can I say - it gave completely new look and life to my phone. I see no problems so far (and if there were any, I would have seen them by now, considering the torture that I am giving to it :) ), no strange behaviour, no strange wakelocks, a real revelation. :cool:

I must change my signature now, does anyone have a nice banner to share so I can promote this master piece?

Coming from Sense, I am missing a nice clock/weather widget, so please suggest at will.

Also, I am looking for a calendar that can read dates from my contacts, as Sense calendar did. Any ideas about that.

It might take some time to get used to new dialer, keyboard, and other stuff, but I am looking forward to using Slim ROM for long time.

This has been answered before, I know: When I turn and set up the Slim Pie, how do I show it on the screen? And, how do I put shortcuts on the lockscreen?
[HTC One X] teemo:
Banner: Try there --> [MENTION=2386852]cappuccina[/MENTION]

Sense weather widget: Try there --> many imitations/lookalikes I think.

Many calendars will import whatever you have on your google account. I use "Android Pro Widgets", it will show meetings, reminders, birthdays etc. but there are many other.

How to show show SlimPie: Settings-Navigation-SlimPie Trigger options.

Shortcuts: Settings-Navigation-SlimPie Buttons (tap or hold)

Shortcuts are configured like all other buttons: You can attach virtually anything!

Oh oops you men the lockscreen: Try Settings-Security Slider targets (need to select slide option first)
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Like this one below? ;)

Will test, it doesn't have to be a copy, I can get used to other appearances as well.

Even the stock one picks up my Google calendar events. What I meant are anniversaries

inside

the contact. When you assign a date to a contact - birthday, anniversary etc. It is combined with my calendar in previous ROM.

I was looking for a way to show Pie on the home screen, but managed eventually. Left edge of the screen needs to be touched :eek:

And the lockscreen - done.

:good:
[HTC One X] tmotard:
Hi,

i'm using acalendar app. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.withouthat.acalendar&hl=fr

[HTC One X] Iwarsson:
You can try EZ weather for weather widget, nice and free.

Don't get too used to 4.9, 5.0 is probably knocking on the door soon. :laugh: I'm happy that you are enjoying SlimKat, it is a nice ROM and forum is outstanding.

Thanks for this ROM Teemo,

I'm loving it! Fast, smooth and with S2W and SlimPie too...

Once I flashed the right TWRP recovery, I was golden - was suffering a lot of process.com.acore FCs before I cottoned on...
[HTC One X] GreekPilot:
A really fantastic ROM. I came from CM and I must say that SlimKat is much much better.

But...

Unfortunately, There is always a but.

I have an issue..On first boot, I set my home WiFi. I left from home for 5 or more hours. When I returned, my HOX didn't auto connect to my home wifi. After a reboot, the problem solved....

Next day, same issue. After a little search on Google, I gave to my phone a static ip for my wifi. Problem remains. Still unable to auto connect to my wifi after a long period of absence. A short period of absence, doesn't cause any problem at all. The problem disappears after a reboot.

May be, this problem has to do also with google location, as maybe (and I said again maybe) google apps are unable to use wifi, as my phone does...When facing a location problem, a reboot is maybe gonna fix it. If not, then it is not the same problem.

Waiting for your suggestions to solve wifi problem and thank you again...
[HTC One X] teemo:
First a quick question: Did you try any other ROM, where wifi is working perfect?

It is not the same error as the location error, but they may be related.
[HTC One X] GreekPilot:
I was using Cyanogenmod 11. M5 was the last version of CM I used before SlimKAT. And before CM 11 I was using CM 10.2 without problem...
[HTC One X] ViperFred:
Teemo, did you see that a couple of fixes for our kernel was commited for CM? Would be great to have them included for any upcoming SlimKAT 5 release :). This ROM is sooo nice! Great work! :good::highfive:
[HTC One X] kalimpula123:
Big Thank You

Wow, great - it works perfect. Now my eyes aren't bleeding anymore :highfive::D

THANK YOU

Aftrer set up to 320dpi I can delete this app from HOX. The new setup will stay :laugh:

---------- Post added at 09:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

Jap, a better cam is a nice tip :highfive: very snappy to use, cause it has a perfect widget. The quality is not really better, but there are still some nice futures :cool:

Thank you!

Reading without wordwrap is terrible. I will try dolphin browser with jetpack now and I hope it has the gmailsynchronisize in it, to handle my bookmarks :eek::D and it feehls as quick as googlebrowser :cyclops:

The soundquality with viper is much more better. Only the phonespeaker I cant set up louder in it. Its only for music and mulrimedia.

I will try xposed. I have good expirience with it on an old senserom. Hahaha... I saw now... I've just installed it in the past, but don't settled up and don't watched out for some good Apps/Tweaks :silly::victory:

Thanks for all your quick and professional help :highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive::highfive:

Battery life report

[MENTION=698346]teemo[/MENTION], last night my battery went depleted, after brutal usage.

I couldn't make SS, because it took me by surprise.

It made over 3 hours of screen on time.

It is very good, considering previous experience. Last time it lasted this long was with Renovate 4.1.2 I think. Never performed that good on 4.2.2.

Another good thing is that battery level doesn't drop by 5% as soon as the phone is awaken.

I will keep torturing my phone looking for reasons to complain, but so far I didn't find anything worth mentioning :laugh: :good:
[HTC One X] ViperFred:
Yeah, three commits but only one that actually made any changes to the code ?.

Thanks for merging and sharing this nice ROM with us.
[HTC One X] fotis12:

my mistake, sorry
[HTC One X] M@c|-|oR:
Mate, the stock kernel is performing great. For me, this ROM with its stock kernel is better than Sense 5 that I have used before.

If you are really looking at change - have a look at lyapota's work.

To me, it seemed to be enabled but it was not. Settings/developeroptions/root access disable and enable again. It worked for me. Normally is disabled by default...

Hello all,

I am currently in CM11 and I would like to test slimkat but I wonder if the partitioning is the same as CM (I think yes, but good) and so I lose anything on my SD??

Thx ;)
[HTC One X] asp2010:
I don't think you should worry about the partitioning with this device, you shouldn't need to change it.

You won't lose the data on your sd card when you wipe the internal phone. That being said, some recoveries do have an option to wipe everything (including the sd card), so make sure you don't choose that unless you mean it :D

Good luck :good:
