Hey guys just a quick note... I'm not running Slim on the bionic anymore, but I think figured out what's causing the missing apps issue. The rom I'm running currently has an "sdcard" column under apps in settings. When I look there Smash It (the game that was uninstalling on me) was the only one checked. If I click on it, in the info screen there's an option to move to internal storage. I move to internal and the app now stays after reboot. I don't believe slim has this same option, but I'm wondering if the app installs to sdcard by default, does moving it to internal fix it for you?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] B.E.McAllister:
You are correct, with ss installed some of the apps do default to the sd card and you have to manually move them back.

Not sure how I feel about the new recent app style, I'll give it a couple days to test battery but I think I'm partial to the old style.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
I read up on it a bit and like the idea(unless it changed since 3.4) but it was a little sluggish for me so I'm hoping that gets smoother. Otherwise I did start liking it the more I used it.

Couple quick questions

Hi SlimKat users, I am looking to take a first crack at SK and want to ask a few questions before I give it a go.

Are Wifi and GPS working? I need those pretty regularly.

Is Wifi Tether working on its own? If not, does the patch found here work?

Can I use SafeStrap 3.11 or do I need to upgrade to 3.65?

Do I need to install on a specific slot?

Would it be beneficial for me to delete my other slot roms before installing this one? (I have LS on slot 3 currently)

Anyone know what the difference is between the AIO and minimal GAPPS packages?

Thanks!

EDIT: I don't think the link to the current builds is in the OP, so here it is if anyone else needs it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KC69:
Its my fave, hands down. I usually flash the patch just cuz. I'm in 3.65 SS, don't think 3,11 works, not sure. I've been using the latest pa gapps from goo. They update them regularly. SK has the best batt life and radio of all of the new runs for me.

daily driver material

This is going to be my daily driver until I hear run into major issues or I hear (unanimously) that another ROM is better, especially since this ROM seems to be more frequently updated than any of the others (then again, I don't watch the others that closely). Also, I'm not getting the random reboots on this one that I was having on liquid.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KC69:
Cm, gummy and PAC update daily.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:
Heh, shows how much I pay attention.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] icebergz12:
i came from CM so i know, but haven't tried gummy for this phone (not impressed with g2 stuff).

How does PAC compare with this SlimKat? Im guessing since its Pac it has more customizing abilities? thanks
[Motorola Droid Bionic] raymechanic:
Pac is still developing so there are ups and downs and sometimes unpredictable. I like slim for daily driver because it is fairly stable
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
Has anyone had any luck getting a non stock based ROM to run a dock? I've been looking around but haven't found much. All I really want is for the audio to push through the USB. Otherwise I keep switching back to flying jelly which I'm not fond of since using slimkat.

Sent from my Bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:
I've never really given it a thought. Have you looked into whether there are any apps that would add that functionality? Not ideal, obviously, but it might be something to check if the only alternative is booting to flying jelly. Alternatively, you may want to jump on the irc chat and discuss it with the developers of slimkat (if they're in there).

Build 4.2 is up on Goo.im
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
None. Docks are proprietary to Motorola and they never released source code for THAT, so none of the ROM builders have anything to work from, and you can't extract the JB APKs and include those either.

A LONG time ago, when DHacker29 was working on CM10 I asked if he can pull those from previous, he said it's on the todo list, and I guess this basically got put into the backburner. :D

Do you guys backup "webtop" when you're making a backup with SS? I don't even know what that is....

Webtop is stock ROM only, that's the interface when you connect to the lapdock.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:
Will it break the ROM if I don't include it in my backup, wipe everything and then restore the backup I just made? As I'm making a backup of SlimKat I'm seeing that webtop is like 100-some MB....

Does SlimKat have the theme chooser?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Like CM? No. (But you can add it with Xposed and HKThemeManager, I think)

---------- Post added at 04:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Using SlimKat off Slot 2 (next to Stock and CM10.1.2), got a few small issues.

1) I can't get XBatteryThemer to work. Keep applying the theme, and keep getting back nothing. Icon wont' change. Rebooted, still nothing. Right now I'm making do with circle battery with numbers, but would really like my Brick Battery back... :)

2) I can't seem to get the clock to do without am/pm. I tried config-ing it in SlimKat itself, nothing. Sometimes it worked, but after a reboot it would come back. I tried leaving it stock and config it with GravityBox KK, but it's still not consistent.

3) Is there a way to get widget bar (between status bar and notification shade) like CM10? I don't need that notification reminder thing and already turned it off.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Wow, so far SlimKat is the most battery friendly ROM I've tried.

I've gotten SlimKat pretty well configured now in Slot 2 (with all the Xposed modules and other tweaks) I also have 90% of my apps loaded from my other setup. It's not even using the fancy Kernel (the 3.0.8 g5b1474a-dirty that came with SlimKAT). It's consuming minimal power when screen's off when I turned on that SmartRadio beta. I think this ROM is draining no more than 5% per hour, may even be less. That's pretty amazing. CM10 setup was draining anywhere between 7 to 11% per hour, even with screen off.

But as noted before, there's a couple minor "niggles"... Here's Number 4)

4) Sometimes the "navigation bar" (Bionic has capacitance buttons, so I don't use the onscreen one) pops up even though it's turned OFF in the ROM settings. Had to "toggle" it to turn it off. Any ideas?

4.6 is great so far except for a weird issue that I've only ever seen in cyanfox and actually made me quit using it. SK never did it till now. If you click on a folder in GEL it pops open but stays translucent. If you tap again off and on it looks normal. I hope that doesn't stick around. It's minor but annoying.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
A) Shortcut bar can be enabled, but it's at the bottom, not the top, and the only toggle is the Torch.

B) You can download something like "notification toggles" (Which was around back in the Froyo days), or something like Control Center (clone of IOS 7 control center that slides out an everything control panel)

C) You can go fancy, and use Xposed / Google Now API / Voice Toggles to toggle the stuff you want by voice. :)

---------- Post added at 09:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:26 PM ----------

Somehow as I use the GNL it got restarted, and somehow the navigation bar got enabled? But SlimKat says it's OFF?

Had to toggle it to get rid of it. Any ideas on what's going on here? Memory corruption by a bit or a byte?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] ErisDroid?:
Slim Kat is my daily driver and I LOVE IT!!! I have one request, is there anyway, since HDMI out works now, that you could get audio over the USB to work? That would seal the deal for me.

Thank you for the great ROM and all your hard work.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:
Same here - I moved from Liquid to SlimKat and it's my daily driver. I do sometimes have some issues coming from screen off back to screen on, but I have a feeling it's my numerous apps at fault.

Anyway, has anyone tried Gummy? How does it compare to SK?

Also, has anyone tried to Google Camera? Wondering how it compares to the stock one.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Noticed a pattern. This only happens AFTER SlimKat crashed hard and did a full reboot. Then you get the nav bar. It's as if the crash reset the status direct to the OS, but the SlimKat's "override" (no nav) did not read that status. Hmmm...
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
I've tried gummy off and on. Never my favorite but no real reason. I've tried Google camera. I like it but have crashes from the blur lens or whatever it's called. Either I'm moving too fast or it locks up and has to be forced closed and breaks the camera process until reboot.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Noticed something else. This happens a LOT more often when the dock app is "turned off".

I have a Moto Nav Dock. Phone often freezes when I remove the phone from the dock. Though other freezes can cause the same.

I play around a bit, and I have both Nav Control (the multi-finger gesture Xposed module) and SlideControl active. Doubt that would have something to do with this though.

Will try to dirty-flash 4.8 tonight.

Not sure what happened to 4.6. Was using it, with average of 2-3 reboots a day. Then starting last night (and all day), WiFi just died. It is stuck on "Turning on WiFi", and never changed. Rebooting didn't help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
Did you try wifical.sh?

Sent from my Bionic
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Uh, already nuked it.

I think it's conflicting with the WiFi Tether. The two should lock each other out, but I think somehow it's conflicting. IMHO, of course.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
WiFi problem still there.

I left the phone charging on the charging dock all night. When I woke up next morning, WiFi's dead and I'm back on 4GLTE. I tried turning on the WiFi, and it insists that the WiFi hotpsot is not in range, even though it's only 15 ft from me and my PC (and Kindle HDX) are working fine. Turning WiFi on/off doesn't help, nor does "scan". The lists just pop back up (all out of range) in an instant. No scan was actually done, as if WiFi was permanently off. This had been happening for a few days. I thought it was a conflict between JuiceDefender and SlimKat, so I turned JuiceDefender off but it still happened.

Rebooting brings the WiFi back, no problem.

Which brings up an interesting question. Under WiFi / Advanced, frequency has auto / 2.4 GHz / 5 GHz. Yet when I scan I NEVER saw the 5 GHz login, only the 2.4 GHz login. Is there a link? I don't think this phone's WiFi-N even has 5 GHz capability. :) it was finding the 2.4 GHz node even when I set it on the 5 GHz Freq instead of auto.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Noticed another pattern about the navigation bar. It popped back up after an "out-of-memory" situation where apps are shuffled out of memory to make room for more apps. I need to nuke the Dalvik cache and try everything again, but basically, I ran apps, but kept an audio app (DoggCatcher) going. After a bit of use, the phone went into an app nuke spree where Doggcatcher service got nuked, SideControl got nuked, even Bluetooth share got nuked, and of course, Home/launcher (GEL/GNL) itself got nuked from memory. When all the stuff reloaded and the memory "settled", the navigation bar is back.

When I say nuked, I mean the Android MinFree autonuke. I don't use ATK's.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] J Ellis:
i keep getting my apps missing. if i install an app and move it to the sdcard it vanishes. its as if the phone will not recognize it on the sdcard and just removes it.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] raymechanic:
Yes it is that way, if you want your apps you have to keep them on the phone otherwise you have to reload them every time you reboot
[Motorola Droid Bionic] KC69:
Build 5 is up with new build 5 gapps. Working pretty good with 5/1 jbx.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] J Ellis:
any reason why it is that way? I never had that happen with any other builds.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] raymechanic:
I'm not a developer so I can't say for sure but I think it is something in the way cm11 or safestrap handles memory. Someone was kind enough to point me to the solution because this was happening on cm, slimkat and pacrom, they all use cm base

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
I'll try this in a few days... AFTER my extended battery gets delivered. My previous battery is toast, and something I did to previous install of SlimKat screwed it up even further. Somehow CM11 with JBX is doing a lot better with battery than SlimKat 4.8 (and it doesn't have this nav buttons reappearing problem either).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] BodjPrime:
what is the name of the app did you remove?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:
Installed 5.2 (I think I was on 4.6 prior to that). So far, so good. It's only been on it about 24 hours, so I can't tell if it's just that really nice, fluid period of time right after installing a new ROM, or if 5.2 is significantly better than the previous version I was on (it was kinda getting sluggish).
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:
This probably not technically the right place to ask, but I figure it's possibly situational... Does installing and using Xposed Framework Modules screw with this ROM or any apps?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:
Anyone else seeing GPS trying to lock location VERY frequently with this new version (5.2)? I have GPS Status installed which tosses the GPS icon up in the notification bar whenever GPS is activated. I highly doubt it's actually that app itself calling for GPS - it's never done that in the past and I've wiped it's data already.

Any ideas?

Ignore this. I used GSAM Battery Monitor and the companion root-assist app. I quickly determined that it was Themer (the launcher that I use). Sure enough, I checked the reviews and someone else had reported the nonstop GPS calls for the current version which was updated recently. Groan.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
Has anyone else using Google Now Launcher had folders open very transparent then if you tap again they close then again they open fine? I've seen this before, first time on cyanfox, and actually quit using it because it was annoying but now it's happening in LS, SK, PA, and I think CM(can't remember). I've cleared and uninstalled the launcher but it persists.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:
Has anyone ever found an easy way to blacklist spam calls? The blacklist integrated into the ROM is pretty poor... you can't even type in a contact's name or find contacts you've added, you have to know the number and type it in. There should be a way to add contacts to the blacklist directly from the dialer, but there isn't. I add all the spam numbers that call me to a single "SPAM" contact. If I was able to select a single contact to block, that would make for a very simple process.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
I use the one in eset. Mainly because of the limitation in the inbuilt app to not have history of what was blocked. The inbuilt one blocks a tad quicker which I like but is definitely lack luster.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] kschang:
Old topic, but I use Xposed quite a bit for little things, from GravityBox to AppOps to BootManager to Greenify to a couple other tweaks. I personally don't "feel" they slow down the system any, but I could be mistaken. :)

Beware that some Xposed folks on XDA are very... snobbish if you are using anything but pure AOSP or Google Play Edition ROMs. Don't expect any help from that side if you're using SlimKat or such. They're like "CAN'T YOU READ THE FAQ?!?! NOT SUPPORTED!"

So, I just noticed that build 5.8 was posted 2 days ago. Anyone been on it for a day or two? Any new bugs that might make me want to stick on 5.2 for the time being?

[Motorola Droid Bionic] btstarcher:
I was getting lots of forced closes with 6.3, using the complete gapps. Anyone else have this issue? And did 6.4 fix it?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
I don't think I really had them on 6.3 and I don't on 6.4. I'd make sure you have the newest gapps and try fix permissions and wipe caches. If you don't have the newest just wipe caches and flash 6.4 and gapps right on top of what you have and see if it straightens out.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] btstarcher:
Yeah, I was using the latest gapps and I tried wiping cache/dalvik and fixed permissions multiple times. I even wiped the partition, deleted it, created a new partition to install it on and had the same issue. I'm wondering if I would have better luck installing minimal gapps and adding the rest from play?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Eiht:
Possible. I use the "normal" that's 150mb and restore with TiBu. Once I have a good setup though and I'm switching ROMs a lot I wipe everything and fresh flash then restore just data from my backup. Kind of a backwards dirty flash but it works good and is quick.

Yea, if you mix it can mess things up. For a new ROM I start with a fresh base then restore apps from a 4.4.4 Tibu backup(I use separate Tibu folder for older ROMs too) then set it up the way I like then back it all up. I only run one big slot. Hope that makes sense I just drove 7 hrs to Chicago from a small town and I'm mush.
