This is definitely due to the build type, but this roms build.prop already has the build type set to user. Did you do a clean flash if you came from another rom? Did you modify the build.prop at all before this happened?

Your build.prop editor needs root access and by default, this rom is set to root for adb only. You can change that in the developer options to allow both apps and adb to gain root. Then your build.prop edits should stick.

I'm still confused how you have a build.prop with build type set to eng though since the build type is set to user in my rom. My Best guess is that you came from rukusx7's hellkat rom and didn't wipe before you flashed this one. That would save your system files and maybe cause some conflicts which might explain your issue with the dialer. My suggestion to you is to always wipe/factory reset when flashing new roms. This will minimize the potential for problems.
[Galaxy S II General] sandhu6698:
I did a clean flash now the Roms rocks .....m using it battery life is also great in this slim kat rom .....
[Galaxy S II General] JayR_L:
I replaced Settings.apk in the SlimKat zip with the one you uploaded to mediafire. Booted into recovery, wiped system and cache and flashed the fixed zip. I still FC upon selecting Security. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Grab Root Browser (or any root file app) and head to /system/app/ and look at the permissions for other apps and make sure yours are the same for the apk you added. In case permissions aren't right.
[Galaxy S II General] JayR_L:
Thanks rukusx7. Actually, permissions were right...

I completed wiped my phone - reflashed, to no avail. So I went to SlimROMS, downloaded the AIO gapps and the skyrocket weekly build. I took Settings.apk and SettingsProvider.apk (both were different file size from t_f's build) and copied them to the zip. Wiped dalvik cache and reflashed.

Security now works without FC and all settings are working as of now. I'll update if I come across anything that doesn't work:)

So far, loving this rom, it's perfect!

ps - also have the fixed zip if it's okay with you t_f perhaps I can set up a link until you fix the builds?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Well, you shouldn't have to wait to much longer. I've got a new build of slimkat in the go right now. I just need to test it first before I release to the public ;) I'll also check to make sure the fc is not still present ;)
[Galaxy S II General] JayR_L:
Cool! Man youre the best, this phone wouldve been long gone if it werent for slim.
[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Would you say this is the most stable Kitkat rom ? (Ie: better than cm11)? I'm still running CM10.2 as I really enjoy how far its come along and its stability. I use my phone a lot, including for work and use the GPS heavily.

Other than the videocamera and settings problems identified in this thread, I dont see any other problems reported. Are there any standout bugs or problems?
[Galaxy S II General] JayR_L:
Go for it. I think in terms of performance this build is at least on par with cm10.2, better than cm11 and definitely an upgrade from slim 4.3

Make a backup and try it out for yourself:) I use Slim myself for TRDS, which inverts the apps I use the most; hence, saving battery life on the i757m's AMOLED screen.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
New build is up and the Security settings are fixed. Synced with the latest sources today ;) As always, remember to do a nandroid before flashing and enjoy!

On a side note, if your interested I will be posting a new ROM tonight called Carbon... Stay tuned ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
NEW ROM

Hey guys, so I have just released Carbon ROM. It's really cool and has many features. I'm strongly considering making this my daily driver. It's performance is comparable to the other KitKat ROMs, but has so many more cool features.

Sir SlimKat ROMS r having this style recent apps in their ROMS......Can you put this feature in this SLimkat Rom ..??

thats a great thing which slimkat had introduced
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
If it's been committed to their repo, it will be in the next build. I'm hoping to also implement the multi window feature of omni rom in my next release provided it works correctly ;)
[Galaxy S II General] sandhu6698:
ok sir hope Slim Kat next build will come soon with Recent apps (new), MultiWindow...and sir plz Also Add user Profiles in it.....they r must ....great use thanks
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Just posted the new build. It has the new recents, but not multi window yet. Check the OP for the links
[Galaxy S II General] TheCrazyDirectioner:
Yay! Will try it out next few days :D
[Galaxy S II General] JayR_L:
Does this build include the theme changer? I was under the impression that Slim devs were going to include it in build 3..
[Galaxy S II General] ashfrel1984:
just wondering if there was any chance that when you guys are building your kernels, if you could try to add pegasusq to your list of governors. its a very good governor for battery life and performance.its like ondemand except you can have two points of performance scaling instead of one.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
No, unfortunately not. I also checked their gerrit (code review) and there are no pending commits related to it ??? I'll see what I can find out about this though ;)

Will look into it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] JayR_L:
t_f, I just checked out the Slim forums and Nebucatnetzer posted that they will

not

implement the theme chooser in the future.

However, he says that they are working on an alternative. So, we'll be a little while without a theme chooser :)

* also, HK theme manager breaks some applications; for instance, Tapatalk becomes unreadable with some dark themes. Furthermore, I use ART which is incompatible with Xposed.

Anyways, just wanted to report my findings. :)

CAN WE HAVE uSER PROFILES IN THIS SLIM ROM??
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Not on the diablo kernel sorry. I am releasing my work mainly "as is" because I dont really have the time to maintain it properly.
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
With the latest build, the external card doesn't scan until after the phone is done booting. Music players lose the whole library and likes and playlists, I have to run the media scanner to get the songs back.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'm not in slim at the moment, but can you check the media scanner options in the dev options. It might be add simple as changing the value there.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Did the option in dev options do the trick?
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
No, with either option to scan or not scan all my SD card music is inaccessible.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Fair enough, I will look into this ;)
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
Ok sometimes it does remove all the music data and sometimes it doesn't. I rebooted this morning and all my sdcard music was there, google music was even open on the last song I played. But rebooting again this afternoon un-scanned my music, or whatever is causing it.
[Galaxy S II General] Jerosmith:
Excellent work!

Uber Noob here.

Over the last couple months I've installed a few of your CMs, 10, 10.2, and now 11.

10 was met all my needs as far as speed went and usability. No glitches and no laggy homscreen changes.

There was however a huge flaw for me... No swiping on the keyboard... Absolutely essential for me.

So I moved to 10.2

This rom was a little ***** laggy I found. Maybe I installed dirty or something but it just wasn't as responsive as 10.0. Also recently I had it acting up on me and closing text messaging while writing a text. was pretty annoying. Battery life also seemed to be pretty bad.

Today I installed 11, I would have installed SlimKat, because I really like smoothness and saving RAM, but I couldn't bring myself to do it without a working camcorder.

I would really really like a working Camcorder for SlimKat. This seems like it would be a have all end all for me. I still see in OP that camcorder is not working. Is this still true?

I suppose 11 is fine, but it's definitely not liquid smooth as 10 was for me. But so far its less glitchy (closing text messages) than 10.2.

Any suggestions from anyone would be much appreciated.

OH! by the way, I noticed in 11 that we can turn off the blinking home screen buttons for notifications. That is GREAT. Thanks for that.

If only I could get the little light at the top of the phone to flash for notifications. Not a big deal in the least bit tho.

Again tho, excellent work on all of these ROMs. :D
[Galaxy S II General] Arodg25:
I'm on Titanic's kit kat carbon ROM and camcorder works for me. Just a bit differently. There's a 4 to 5 second delay from the time I press record before it actually starts to record. But whatever nothing is ever perfect on a custom ROM.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
New build is up. This one is very speedy. The 91fixoverlays script has been removed since hw overlays no longer need to be disabled giving us a boost in performance. As always, make sure you take a nandroid before flashing, and enjoy!!!
[Galaxy S II General] iDynamics:
All I do is flash roms, so when I saw this I did just that :D. Impressive.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:

Just a quick note that I have a slim build in progress. If all goes well, I'll post it tonight ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Canadian_Cruiser:
Hey TF, Finally registered for an account so I can say Thanks for keeping this phone alive! will the new build coming up in the next couple days be stable enough for a day to day? My phone is my work life for picture, video, calling, etc so I usually wait till Im sure its stable.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
It's very stable. No reboots or anything like that. The problem with the latest builds of all my roms is that were using a kernel that has undergone some major changes to be compatible with media-caf. This has brought back the graphical glitches which is temporarily fixed with my 91fixoverlays script that disables hw overlays at each boot.

This unfortunately has the side effect of slowing down the UI a bit. This can be somewhat hidden if you turn your window animation scales down to 0.25.

Also using ondemand/deadline for governor/ioscheduler offers us the best balance between performance and battery. Disabling Wi-Fi always active in the settings for Wi-Fi will also dramatically improve battery life.

All in all, it's pretty stable with a couple of quirks. I can't say for sure if it would be acceptable for your situation. If your looking for completely bug free, then it might not work for you. But if your willing to put up with the few quirks then I think you'll be quite pleased. Camcorder is now fully working again without the annoying 5 second delay for recording and Google cam is fully functional too.

Best thing I can suggest is to take a nandroid of your current system as you always should before flashing a new rom. Then flash it on the weekend or whenever you have a couple of days off and test it out. If you don't like it you can restore your nandroid before your days off are up and continue with what you had ;)
[Galaxy S II General] Canadian_Cruiser:
Hey TF,

YEah a few bugs never hurt anyone lol. Im on your 4.2 and have been using your roms since they started on the phone. Cant wait to switch! Thanks for the quick response and once the new updates up ill let you know if I notice anything :)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
New Build is Up!

Hey guys, sorry this took so long to post :( Here is the latest build of SlimKat synced to sources.

It now uses media-caf and are back to having graphical glitches, so I have re-implemented my 91fixoverlays script to fix that temporarily. This does have the side effect of slowing down the ui slightly and can somewhat be overcome by setting your window scale to 0.25x in Developer options.

Enjoy!

[Galaxy S II General] patrickph:
looks like very nice, I will try it some time.
[Galaxy S II General] GrAt_On:
I believe you have posted the old build into the category "Rom", and the new build into the category "Gapps". Problem is... I can't flash the older gapps with the new build. At first it gave me FC's (which was fixed by wiping dalvik cache), however youtube videos don't seem to load.. I believe it's because of the absence of the new Gapps when the new build was posted.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I will fix this after the upload for carbon is done. Thanks for letting me know ;)

Hi Titanic_Fanatic,

A little off topic but just wanted to give you a big thanks! I have been using your roms since there initial releases. With my 2nd hd lte suffering damage i have bit the bullet and am buying an S5. I will continue using your amazing roms on my lte when i use it.

If i could ask one more favour, would you have any recommendations for a developer like you for the S5 roms?

Thanks a bunch for all of your help in keeping this phone alive!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Thanks for sticking around and using my ROMs :) I unfortunately am not aware of who the devs are for the S5, but in a little over a year, I will most likely find myself on an S5 and will probably start to develop my own ROMs as well. Won't be for at least a year though. Just google your device model for roms and you should be able to find some ROMs to get you going. Here's a cool tip, if you only want to return results from xdaforums.com, the type your sear in like this:

This will force the search to only return results from xda and might cut down on your searching time ;)

Good luck with your new S5 ;)

[Galaxy S II General] manfromgta:
Flashed latest build. The dev options fc was back. I borrowed settings.apk from aokp rom, changed permissions and pushed to priv app folder. (This apk includes aokp's rom control which of course does not function in slim rom) and the updated performance controls which do function normally. After reboot all was swell. I am posting settings.apk that I used for now until you have time to correct it.

Forgot to mention I also lost root on flash of ROM. I re-rooted in Phil's recovery and installed super su from market to correct issue. :)

https://www.sendspace.com/file/h4htfw

EDIT: settings.apk from aokp seems to have broken sound settings. Clicking sound in settings creates a fc of settings. I guess I need to wait for your proper fix TF or use settings.apk from another ROM. I kinda like the new performance settings however.

[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Cheers, always on top of things ;)

I'm just running my backup so I can flash the new build and I can fix the bugs ;)

I will have a new AOKP build soon with all the same changes, and have also spent some time forking the repos where I've needed to make changes in order to build for our device. The goal with that is to be able to easily sync with sources and build without always having to apply certain customizations. It should also make it easier for future builders to continue when I change devices.

[ROM][DEV][SlimKat][KK4.4][KERNEL][SGH-I757M]UNOFFICIAL SlimKat 4.4 For Bell ...

[MENTION=4478916]manfromgta[/MENTION], unfortunately I was not able to replicate the Developer Options FC. I did, however, notice that I had not actually built the Performance Controls into Slim. This rebuild includes the Performance Controls, and hopefully Developer Options will not FC for you again.

Here is the new zip, named the same as the previous (OP Updated too). You should be able to dirty flash this, wipe dalvik and all should be well.

In regards to root, I'm not sure if you noticed, but by default Slim has root set to ADB Only. Setting this to Apps and ADB should fix root on a clean flash of Slim.

REMOVED LINK DUE TO BUG

If the Settings still FC on you, can you please provide me with the log of the event since I can't replicate it ;)

EDIT:

Wait, I just got an FC when accessing the security settings. I'll fix that first, don't download yet.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Alright guys, It took a little while, but I have fixed up some stuff in Slim. First, the Advanced Reboot Options are now located in the Developer Options just like every other ROM. This also fixed the FC when you tried to open the Security Settings. I had not previously built the Omni Performance Control into Slim, but figured I should do that since the default is totally lacking features.

There is one bug I noticed, the checkbox for Advanced Reboot Options is checked by default, but it is not actually enabled. If you uncheck it, then re-check it, it will activate the Advanced Reboot Options. I will fix this in the next build.

I've been all throughout the settings (or at least I think I have been) and have not encountered any FC's, so this one should be good to go. It's still the same build number and just added to the change log in the OP. I have also uploaded the Slim mini GAPPS to my androidfilehost.com for easy downloading and to avoid confusion.

If you already have the 20140815 build flashed, you can dirty flash this to fix everything. Don't forget to wipe dalvik cache if you do this.

OP is already updated, here are the new links:

kernal tuner

is there anyway tht i can lower the minimum cpu speed from 1.138 ghz to a lower value like 300 or soemthing to save battery cuz i think that is one of the reason why my phone doesnt last super long. pls help whenever your ready and be sure to roll out more updates to this rom pls and thank you.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Battery saving doesn't entirely work like that. Its like expecting to drive 100km in an hour in your car while using first gear. Although you will think you'll use less gas, the workload will take longer to complete, which will negate any savings you intended on.
