It's under display settings wakeup options

Note that you have to turn off lockscreen notifications wake on notification to use Peek

Not normal, what is your phone model and what recovery do you use? Try the TWRP linked in the OP

SGH 317. Latest TWRP 2.7.0.1. I got it working finally. I chose the format Data option in TWRP and also went into my phone on my computer and deleted every folder that it would allow me to....completely deleted everything (except for external SD). That was so weird though I've never had a problem installing a ROM...ever. Thank you

Install issue: never had a problem installing new roms, but this time I am. The file does not show up on the menu to choose. I put the file in the main directory, so it would show up first thing. However, it isn't there for install. Any suggestions. It is on my internal sdcard. I did have it on my external card, which it was available, but when installing, it said to insert sd card.

Thx for your help in advance…
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
Make sure there is no problem with the kernel you use and the settings you use for it

Stock kernel didn't change since v19 and nothing that could make it lag was added on rom's side

If your recovery isn't seeing the zip, make sure it downloaded right or that there is no problem with your storage cards

For upcoming features and info it's all happening in here, the next big thing is Theme manager but just like you I'm waiting for it. The Slim team is working on it and they have high quality standards, it'll be ready when it's really clean

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rainman26:
Just a few thoughts about the v20. The launcher3 gave me random reboots that's why I removed it. It also flickers and not that stable after several reboots.

For hover, I'm not a fan of hover and peek since it lacks the customisation it needs to tweak those unwanted settings baked in the feature. I'm using notifier pro which is way better than the hover.

One thing that I would really like to see since v8 is the network activity in the WiFi icon. Showing if there is upload or download activity happening.

Above anything else, everything is great and smooth. Just waiting for that theme manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Couple quick questions for you guys.

First, I am running v16 still but am ready to update to v20 as it looks awesome.

I am still using TWRP 2.6.3.1 since it was the version that was supposed to work for kit kat. Should I update this since this is now a 4.4.3 rom?

Also, since I am going from v16 which is based on 4.4.2 am I going to run into any issues if I dirty flash over it to this new version? And related, if I dirty flash, should I also reflash a new version of gapps?

Finally, I am looking forward to the new PA features, but I have been using ACDisplay for quite some time, what are the differences between peek and ACDisplay? I honestly just want screen to pop when I get a notification, not if I pick my phone up or take it out of my pocket or anything of the sort.

Thanks guys! And Thanks Willl! Really looking forward to this release!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] yhs_csl:
I'm coming from V19 and did a dirty flashed. Whole experience, the 'apps upgrading' splash screen took longer than usual, afterwhich the android.process.media stopped, then screen couldn't turn up. Only the bottom phone's hardware 2 lights lit up. Screen simply refused to turn on. And eventually it turned on and some lagging followed suit. Few mins later it stabilized. Who knew what had happened?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] edfuhr1:
So the v20 update is great, everything running very smoothly. My only concern is I can't get a gps lock, in fact when using gps status app it not seeing any satellites at all. I had this happen before with AOSP roms and the only way I could fix it was to Odin all the way back to stock. As soon as I did that it started working again so I know it's a software issue. I flashed a few touch with roms after stock and still had gps, but as soon as I flashed this I have lost all gps signal. Is anyone else having this issue
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eksoccer99:
I had to change my location mode to "High accuracy" finally got GPS to lock and search satelllites in GPS test app. Switch it to "battery saving" and GPS test app or any app that uses location/GPS says "GPS is disable" and takes you to the settings/location screen. Even though "Battery saving" description underneath it says Wi-Fi and mobile networks to determine location".
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] edfuhr1:
Yes I knew to do that, with high accuracy turned on, a gps status app shows zero satellites and will just search forever
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
Decided to take the chance and go ahead with the v20 upgrade.

I dirty flashed over v16, using twrp 2.6.3.1, and did not reflash gapps. So far so good!

A quick question though, are there any settings available for hover? It seems to show any and all notifications and there are some things I would like to exclude. Just cant seem to locate settings if they are available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] martyh1:
Flashed v20 over v16 (dirty). Flashed disableadblock. Still can't get amazon mp3/cloud app to show my cloud music (I couldn't on v16 either). It can see and play the new prime music available for prime members but nothing shows up when refreshing cloud music. The app will say "loading cloud songs", but then nothing appears. I've also tried clearing data/cache for amazon app and even uninstalling and reinstalling.

Nice looking rom. I was wondering if you cared if I ported his bad boy over to my note i717. All credit will be given to you, if I post it and I will insure questions about the port stay in our forum.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
For sure man, it'd be great to have this rom on all the Note line

It's not straightforward to build like most other roms tho, it relies on more complex local manifests and there are scripts to run in your terminal before build or you'll miss a good part of it and it just won't build

You can analyze my local manifests and scripts on my github, in the pre-post-build-stuff repo. Unfortunately I won't have time to assist you but sure go ahead and great if it works :)

I'd do:

Repo init slim 4.4

Breakfast note 1

Look at my "others local manifests" file and apply it to yours

Get the latest cpothers and rev script, run them in terminal

It should build

Then there are things to merge in the zip post build, things like boot animation, more scripts

Also my branches are often not buildable because of test stuff. Tbh I tried it in the past to get someone build for another device, but it ended up taking much more time than if I did it myself and I don't have time for another device so we just stopped

I save time maintaining and building my rom the way I do but for somebody else who wants to get into it no doubt it's a nightmare lol

If you manage to build I'll do you a post build merge package for Note 1

You can build all you want if you don't need my assistance, not that I don't want just that android takes more time than it should already

SD Card Questions

Hey all,

I'm a really big fan of Will's ROM on my Note 3, and just installed this on my dad's Note 2 (upgrading from stock). Everything works a smoothly as expected, with only one strange quirk - the External SD card is shown twice on two different paths (storage/sdcard1 and mnt/media_rw/sdcard1), and every file in it is shown twice (for example, every song on his music folder is shown twice in the player).

I'm not sure if this is even related to the ROM or something more low-level, but since Will's threads are known to be the friendliest possible, figured I'd ask here in case anyone might be able to assist :) Is this something I can fix perhaps by linking directories together, or any other way?

I'm running the latest TWRP and the SD card is a 16GB Sandisk.

Many thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Tonus1:
Hi everybody,

I've just had a clean install of v20 (even wiped internal SD, first time since changed from stock to CM10>11>Will's Temasek then SlimKat!).

Everything is as awesome as expected despite 2 strange things :

- my call shortcuts use Skype instead of phone app (and no default behaviour in app information)

- I suspect peek not to be working : does it work with lockscreen notifications enabled (without waking up the phone)?

Thanks for helping!

I'm running V19 and it's pretty smooth.

I've been with Will03's roms since Beanstalk and it's been rock solid :)

Many thanks for all the hard work you devs put in and the good advice you other members give :D

My small problem for now is, that I've been experiencing random fc's and random battery life.

I did a clean install, as I always do, with twrp 2.7.0.2. I don't use any exposed, since this rom's got me covered. I use Launcher 8. I've set my dpi to 170 in build prop.

My gapps package is Slim_AIO_gapps 4.4.2 build 5.4.

My thought is it could either be twrp (which in an earlier post was mentioned as funny that way) or the gapps or perhaps something with the dpi.

Some days I go 15 hours and still have 40pct on the battery and other days it's drained in less than six (I use my phone pretty much the same amount of time every day).

Any ideas anyone? Because I'm at a loss... and I really want to figure this out. :D

What about Better Battery Stats? Did you identify any wakelock?

Btw, which apps are FClosing?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mashuto:
First thing is to check out BetterBatteryStats or Wakelock Detector. These will help you pin down what is causing the battery drain. For me, I have had similar issues, where the battery would drain much much quicker than normal, usually its Google Play Services keeping the phone awake 90% of the time in those cases. Not exactly sure what causes it, but usually a simple reboot puts it back to its normal state.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
Pretty sure this is a consequence of Note 2 shipping with android 4.1, external storage path changed with 4.2+, no big deal

Clear defaults on Skype and phone, I don't know what else

Peek works well if your proximity sensor works well

A combo of better battery stats, wakelock detector, appops, greenify, turning off some google services like location reporting is the key to a great and reliable battery life

Well ehh... The problem isn't adding apps which close apps or monitor battery or even disabling some of the usual suspects, such as Google location services. Cause I've tried these things.

The instability of my battery life could be caused by the fact that it's almost two years old.

I'm trying to find out if there's a solution which isn't hardware-based. :)

Any ideas on the fc's? :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
You should flash the Slim 5.9 - 68 Gapps - They are for the 4.4.3 Framework - the Gapps that you flashed are for the 4.4.2 Framework - Try this and see how things work for you.

This ROM is damn fine man!

I first tried it on v18 with no problems, dirty flashed to v20 and still no problems as of yet.

None of the aforementioned SD card problems or FCs.

Hover and floating screen

Folks - if i click on the hovered notification then it opens apps in full screen. why it is not opening app in floating mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Avatiach:
Thanks for the super-prompt reply! That was my assumption too and definitely not a big deal, but it does create a few annoyances as the system thinks all the files in the external card are available twice (like in music players or gallery apps). So just looking for potential ideas on eliminating this little annoyance from the experts on the thread :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] brycestejskal:
only the initial pop-up over an app is single click to open in hover mode.

However you can press and hold notifications and when a window pops up hit floating mode.

---------- Post added at 07:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:58 PM ----------

My SD card shows up in both places as well, and always have with recent roms, they are symbolic links(I.E. if you place a file in one it will show up in the other) and not likely to be the cause of your issue. I do not see duplicate files in any of my media programs or gallery. Might want to clear the data on said media programs and reboot to let it rescan and see if it comes back that way. Otherwise, factory reset is probably in order, worst case scenario, Odin to 4.1, and reflash with the sd card out, then pop it back in.

NOTICE I SAID 4.1!!!!! DO NOT flash to a 4.3 or newer AT&T BASE!!!!! Unless you really like touchwiz and wanna stare at it and it only.

Fresh install of v8 is up and running, with root restored.

I definitely think I am having issues with the stock kernel though. With my phone plugged in and charging, battery life is actually decreasing while I am using the phone. Normally itbwould still go up even when using it. And if I had to guess I'm betting I will still get bad battery drain. I tried devil but get android.process.media crashes and lost root... Hmm.
