SlimKat 5.7

I've installed SlimKat 5.7 for the first time (coming fom JB) and Slim-gappas-AIO-4.4.2 and I had a few issues:

1. sometimes the power button and volume keys don't work (you cannot lock the screen with power button, it's not responding to command)

2. there is lag and black screen in the dialer app when you try to call somebody and you cannot hear the dial tone

3. google play music doesn't run in background, it just stops. A "fix" for this when you have the screen locked is to keep the application in full screen, not minimized, so that the music won't stop.

4. if you set transparency for the background of the notification & qs drawer it works for the moment, but after restart it is opaque (the setting, though, is still there)

5. back button and the 3rd android button (the one that opens the menu for wallpapers/widgets/settings) does not work sometimes.

* This happens with Google Now Launcher, because I want to keep it as default launcher.

Now I'm on SlimKat 5.6 and the status of those issues is:

1. I've experienced just once the problem with power button and lock function, but never happened again, so it's ok.

2. no lag, but a 2-3 seconds of black screen and sometimes the dial tone missing

3. google play music it's a little better. it happens to stop just when i turn on my data (wiFi/mobile data), but after a few minutes (probably after syncs and notifications from my online accounts) it runs fine.

4. some problem here.

5. just back button problem.

+6. when music is playing in background with screen locked, if i press the power button to change the song for ie., only the right channel of my headphones is working, left is getting mutted or volume is very low, after screen off it comes back to normal.

+7. sometimes when I'm in an app and I press the back button to exit the app, instead of going back to the home screen or menu screen it shows me another app that i recently have used.

Running on xperia sola.

I did clean up data, cache, dalvik, system and installed both versions correctly. I lost an entire night testing both versions over and over.

For now I'll stick with 5.6..

Do you guys experience this bugs or it's something that I'm doing wrong?

Thanks!

Later edit:

-------------

The Media Storage app, from Android, which helps you select a notification/ringtone/alarm sound, why isn't there any option to select a sound from a custom path (for ie. external sd) ?

It is just as it is or it's a bug?

* I know i can select another app for this action, but i was just wondering...

Another question: does this rom includes the illumination bar fix or I have to apply it manually?

Update: i see that the 4.4.3 gapps version was released for slim. maybe this will solve some problems on SlimKat 5.7. I'll give it a try in the weekend probably.

Hi Dev,

I am using SlimKat 5.7 for xperia p and it rocks. Thanks for this wonderful rom.

Again thanks for the wonderful work.

Use minimal-gapps next time and download the rest from the market

Normal for about 1 minute after booting.

Normal if you use smartassV2+sio, use Lionheart+row and it disappears.

Ehm... No. If I have undestood well the problem this doesn't happen to me: I've opened Play Music, then pressed Home button then locked screen. It's still playing.

This is due to lowram setting in build.prop (like the bad quality of camera previews and some other stuff). You can change build.prop but... You really need that?

Change minfree values to 6,8,16,20,22,24.

I hope I helped you. In addition you

must

read the OP of SlimKat's in dev section cause here there is the answer at some of your question and I should you download the new 5.8 with 4.4.3 Gapps.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kr3ck3n:
RE: SlimKat 5.7

1. So it is recommended to start just with minimal-gapps and download the rest from playstore. I'll try it! (with 5.6 it was ok starting with AIO)

2. Just yesterday i saw the tutorial for dialer app. I'll try that too if there will be a problem with 5.8. Right now on 5.6, the dialer app doesn't cause any problems.

3. The music is still playing after you lock the screen, but after a couple of minutes it stops. Mostly this happens with wifi/mobile data turned on and probably it is caused by low ram because with internet on some apps are doing syncs and notifications may be received. But it happens sometimes without internet connections active.

4. It's not something i cannot live with, but it's just for the eye. It looks good. I'll let it opaque.

5. Yesterday i've installed the performance control app and added those settings and the device rebooted. After reboot I made the changes again, checked set on boot, but after reboot nothing was saved. Regarding this, I also saw a complet tutorial some couple of hours ago and there were more settings that incresease performance with SlimKat.

For the moment I have my answers, plus I have to try the new slimkat 5.8 and 4.4.3 gapps (minimal ! ).

Thank you for your time :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
You're welcome :)

Not recommended but for me it works and it's better cause you can choose which gapps to use and which not.

I haven't play music yet for long time so I can't confirm or deny. I'll try listening to music ASAP and maybe report this as bug. But if it's a RAM management issue you probably can solve it by changing minfree as for the back button and keyboard issue.

I bashed this app too but now it makes your work perfectly. CPU settings are stored

some minutes

after the phone boots: if you see the minimum frequency set to 1000MHz don't worry, with time it become 200MHz, I don't know why. Regarding Memory settings, otherwise, they work flawlessly for me and they are at their side also after reboot.

Check Settings > Advanced Options > Superuser > Menu > Settings > "Accesso a Superuser" (in italian, in english it should be "Superuser access" or similar), it has to be Apps only or ADB and apps.

Bye.

Oh, I forgot!

After some time or a specific no. of reboots (I didn't noticed the entire process) all my saved wiFi networks are forgotten and I have to re-enter the password.

The following problem I have faced on all custom roms i have tried on my device (ics / jb / kk): when i activate the mobile data / wifi network the phone gets laggy, it moves in frames sometimes! Also, on all roms, including this one, I haven't made any changes for performance (like Governors, minfree, task killer, etc.) - probably if I play with those settings I'll have a smoother experience :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] _ViBe_:
I want to ask a question. Does anyone have problem with his microphone? Only on calls. Not everywhere else. Because I have tried JB to KK but none fixed my problem. When I talk on a call the listener can barely hear me. But when I put the call on speaker the listener can hear me crystal clear. Any suggestions?

Another bug (maybe): Camera fc when start video recording.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xstreamer:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] _ViBe_:
No such problems on Xperia Sola. Did you tried clean install? also after wipe did you unmount system? Also try minimal gapps.

Test and report. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
Clean install and use Slim_minimal_gapps, then install only what you need from Play Store. Which governor do you use?

dialer app lag / slimkat 5.8

I can confirm the lag issue with dialer app on slimkat 5.8.

I just came from 5.6 to 5.8 and the ROM it's 2xtimes smoother. Great job!

I did 2 clean installs, one with AIO and other with Minimal gapps and with both installs the dialler shows a black screen when i try to call somebody and i cannot hear the ringing tone. Only when that person answers the call, only then the screen shows the conversions details and some times i have to press "end call" more times so that the conversation will end.

There are no problems with incoming calls.

I'm usually using Google Now Launcher, so i though that might be a problem with it so i swtiched to Nova. Bam! The dialer worked great for 2-3 calls and then i had the same problem. :(

This happens even with this tweaks. For a moment i removed all the tweaks and the dialer responded well, but for a limited time...

And i also get the "Dialer isn't responding [...]" error some times.

------------

Also:

1. SIM card options are not working: you can see the sim contacts but you cannot delete them + you cannot export phone contacts to sim card. Error: "Failed to delete (export) all contacts from (to) SIM !!!".

The "Add SIM contact" seem to work AND you can delete the added contact, but you cannot delete other sim contacts that were there before.

2. Where can i find the sound recordings saved files (recorded with "quick record" app from Android) ?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
In Settings>Apps if i do the "Clear cache" cached data are 12,00kB and not 0,00B. Is this OK?

Edit or add this line in build.prop

ro.config.low_ram=true

u can test setting it false too. if that does not work than its not related to device files. dialer has been changed in 4.4.3 . wait till its improved by slim people

Dialer has been modified in 4.4.3 . i say wait a little till slim people complete the transition period
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Kaushik124:
Call lag gone ?

Ive tried my luck but this time with minimal gapps and there is No Dialer lag this time, everythings fine but FIRST number lags and it goes smooth from then .. :) .....Dailed a Number , Received a call ALL IS WELL here regarding call issue , Even though you have dailer lag , I insist people using EX dialer or some other ( You can disable default dailer IF it is the prob ) Because It is such a nice ROM to SKIP CHEERS alwaysadeel

Lionheart & Row I am using and having dialer lag issue.

I've noticed something else: NFC is turned on by default. I have added a shortcut in Tiles and layout and it was appearing as being active. I guess this is taking some battery life

Even if I install a dialer app it's no use. When i try to initiate a call it asks me with which application do i want to complete the action (phone or skype) :|

I guess I'll live with it a few days untill an update is released. I don't have the time to do more testing right now. I could also go back on 5.6..

UPDATE: i cannot make phonecalls. the screen stays black even after the other person answers..

UPDATE2: disabling KSM did the trick! Now i only have 3-5 seconds of black screen when i initiate a call, but after this time the dialing screen shows up. Other settings: Lionheart + row + memfree.

The lag is back with wifi/mobile data ON!

It was ok for the first 2-3 calls only...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Mons1990:
I'm trying intellidemand and I'm satisfied for now, no lags, drains more then smartassv2 but less then lionheart. But I haven't had time to try dialer

dialer lag confirm.

dialer lags when using google now launcher and using voice search 2-3 times. the delay when calling someone is 30seconds+, tried all the governors. this is a serious bug present in all current roms. it showed up the moment i upgraded from ics to jb, and its still persistent in every jelly bean/kit kat rom. please developers try to fix it.

other than that, amazing job done so far on kk roms.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kr3ck3n:
Yup, also present on JB roms but only after a couple of weeks of usage of the rom.

With SlimKat 5.6 there are no lags concerning dialer, but with 5.7 and 5.8 (with both Nova and Google Now Launcher).

For now let's wait for a fix, it's clearly a bug...

*SlimKat 5.9 released, i'll wait for new gapps and will try it soon :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] rownz1337:
huh?

try using the microphone to search for things, in google search for e.g search with voice. search 10 times and watch theccall lag magically appear (when trying to call someone) in every kk rom. tried out slimkat 5.6 too and its still there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kr3ck3n:
5.8 bugs

I didn't experienced dialer lag on 5.6 (not as much as in 5.8, it was tolerable).

I don't use google search / voice search, but the call lag, when trying to call someone, is there "by default".

Some other bugs in 5.8:

1. ringtone is missing after reboot "Unknown ringtone".

2. alarm clock sound is missing after reboot (it just displays a number instead of file name)

In both cases, 1 & 2, it fallbacks on default system ringtone/alarm clock sound.

SlimKat 6.0 - Battery drain

Hi!

I have installed today the new version of slimkat, 6.0. I'm coming from 5.6 and with this new version I'm experiencing a huge battery drain: over 80% in 6 hours!

After installing slimkat 6.0 and config. all my apps I've fully charged it and after 6 hours of mostly no usage it has less than 20% of battery. I've just played some music (maximum 20 minutes) and that's all. No wi-fi, no mobile data, nothing that could eat so much power was running.

The dialer bug is still present. When i initiate a call the screen stays black. So, I have a phone and I cannot make phone calls with it. :laugh:

+ music controls are not on the screen when locked & headphones actions are not recognized (stop/play/next/prev song).
