You are not alone in that as I'm having the same issue. Will, is there any soluiton to this issue as I am loving this build as the battery and performance are rock solid and want to be able to have this as my daily. I do have the TMo variant of Note 2, does that ahve anything to do with not being able to receive phone calls? Thank you or anyone else for any insight.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xBkKx:
Every SlimKat ROM thread I have seen says there is no native exfat support and multiple people cannot get their SDCard to mount. This ROM looks nice but I'll have to stick with the old base ROM it appears. Using a different kernel or running scripts and modifying the vold are no go either.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
Exfat is a proprietary microsoft file system so it's normal it needs special support, roms / kernels are not to blame. I don't know why it's so vital for some to have, since day one of android I've ran fat32 and I've been far from all the trouble with exfat

Use devil kernel if you want exfat, or fat32 and stop worrying about compatibility

I don't know, no problem for most people maybe it's with TMo Note 2

Let others know if you find out :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rjones9902:
Okay will03, maybe that's the deal. It's funny because when I've used Temasek v46, I have no problems with incoming calls. I think that I'll stick to this ROM for now. Thanks again, bro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
Yeah slim uses a slightly different device tree and vendor libs, might not be the same as it was on tema CM base

One thing you could do if you're cool with it is get the system/lib folder of a Slim build for TMo note 2 and drop it in my rom's zip and flash it, might do the trick

Or try another kernel

Is there a setting for Halo in which the screen turns on when the notification arrives?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
For Halo no, for lockscreen notifications under security settings yes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rainman26:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
Halo has nothing to see with screen turning on and off so unfortunately no, lockscreen notifications is your answer

hi looks like my questions was not answered at all. i have the twrp 2.6.3.1 and i encrypted my phone while on Tamesek v50. now when i try to flash v8 of slimkat twrp is asking for password. i dont remember setting any password in twrp. i tried to enter the password for the encryption but twrp kept saying password incorrect. i also tried flashing twrp 2.7.0.0 thru odin but that didnt get rid of the "failed to decrypt data partition" error.

looks like my only option is to do a factory reset by using odin and flash the original rom. anyone know if i can simply factory reset in twrp and flash v8 slimkat?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rjones9902:
Lol, i'm not that good to do that but I try to use Devil kernel and see if it helps. Good looking out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John McClane:
Hi:

I too have the Tmo variant, and I'm running v8. Phone calls works and ROM is blazing fast and great battery performance.

What I did was:

Using PhilZ Recovery, I did a factory reset, wiped cache and dalvik. I also wiped Internal Storage, I know it's not necessarily needed but I've been dirtying flashing a lot, and I want it to be perfectly clean :D

Then flashed this ROM along with slim minimal gapps. Flashed the latest Tmo Modem, then rebooted.

After that, the same drill, wait a couple of minutes without touching anything, reboot again, and Profit! :laugh:

Much thanks to will for the ROM.

Hope it helped.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] willl03:
Nice!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
I did this once with a stock Rom. Had to re flash that same Rom and remove security and encryption that way. Then flash Rom of your choice. If that doesn't work then Odin might be your only option. You can try to do a factory reset with Twrp. Just be sure to have a nandroid.

Okay John McClane, I'm going to give it a shot and see what appens. Hopefully I'll experience the success you have. I absolutely love this forum, you guys are so helpful! Thanks to you and also to the developer of this ROM, will03!

---------- Post added at 09:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:59 AM ----------

Okay just want to confirm something here. Did you wipe twice? Cause you said youfactory reset, wiped cache and dalvik. Also wiping internal storage. After flashing ROM, minimal GAPPS package and latest TMO modem, you rebooted phone. AFTER THAT, you repeated the process? Is that correct?I just ant to make sure that I follow your same steps. Thanks in advance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] greythorne:
Hi,

when you say re-flash "that same rom" mean the stock rom? The things twrp says fail to decrypt data partition. so even if i do a factory reset will i be able to flash any rom that is on my sdcard? why i ask because i was not allowed to access the sdcard since it is unable to decrypt the data partition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] John McClane:
Using PhilZ I wiped cache partition, then dalvik (on advanced tab), factory/data reset (the one that says clean to install a new ROM). I went under mounts and storage to clean my Internal.(NOTE: I made a backup of my Internal Storage before wiping it, for easy restore of important folders like pictures, media, etc.)

After the cleaning process I installed the ROM, Gapps, and Modem (individually). No more wipes after that.

Rebooted, left untouched a couple of minutes. Rebooted again, did the setup and afterwards install my apps and so on.

Glad to help, Cheers!

For Will or anyone who cares to advise ...

I unfortunately have a 64GB exfat card installed. I don't mind formatting the SD card to Fat32 in order to use this rom, its just I would love it if there was a way to back up this SD card before I wipe it, and then put everything back under the new format. Is this possible?

The idea I had was to plug in my phone and open up two windows on the desktop then dragging the contents of my sd card over to the other window. Format to Fat32 and then drag everything back as is ...

Would this work, or do I need some sort of back up type software to grab everything from the phone, format and put everything back?

Don't really want to mess around with other kernels and such, plus the fact that Fat32 seems to be the preferred format around here.

Any help greatly appreciated :good:

I don't think SlimKat has any agenda to implement theme chooser (correct me if I'm wrong), but I'm curious about Will's agenda...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Uhm - Yes Slimrom is testing Themes Provider (you've been corrected ?) - I would imagine that once Slimrom has Themes Provider where they want it - Will would possibly implement it in his builds...

That's good news but... In the meantime though is there any way to implement CM11 themes? I have several paid themes going to waste at the moment coz this ROM is too smooth to switch away from haha
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Senyaka:
Use the xposed module HK themer. As long as the theme you want isn't just compatible with the new theme engine it should work just fine.

Extremely slow LTE

I'm encountering extremely slow LTE speeds on this ROM. The LTE speeds in my area are generally decent(~10-12 Mbps download). This ROM is topping at 2-3 Mbps max. My wife's S3 is able to consistently top 13 Mbps download. Tried changing the APN to AT&T Cingular but doesn't seem to help. Any ideas ? :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] shaggyskunk:
Roms don't have anything to do with the modem.

Check your APN settings! If you Factory Reset (which you should have) - You only have to make sure that the APN is correctly set for your Carrier ?

If the APN is correct Call your Carrier and complain ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] lebertian:
I actually read something about it not long ago, I think it may have something to do with the app not working on rooted phones. I think the solution was to use Root Cloak exposed module... You may want to give that a try if you can't get any other reasonable possible solution

Is it just a matter of getting it to show up in the play store? You can try Play Store Fixes xposed module, it is supposed to "trick" the play store to get all apps to show up. If that's not it, then sorry, I must have missed some earlier posts.

On another note, I have a tally found things to be running a bit sluggishly lately, things just take a little longer to open, keyboard lags a bit (swiftkey) and in general it just doesn't feel as smooth as I would like, happened on v20 too, and I am now on a clean install, anyone else seeing anything similar?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] DCOCH13:
I have DPI set to 220 in build.prop for system and use app setting in xposed to change individual app DPI. Its all personal taste. Best way to find out what suits you best is by changing to different settings. You can always go back to stock slim setting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Metalbuddhist:
Hmmm... Perhaps that would stop some of the problems, I've had with various apps fc'ing.

Which module in xposed is that it is it just in general settings? (although I don't care for xposed, it would however be nice, if I could find a solution)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] treehugger38294:
slight lag

Why does this ROM lag a bit? When I open settings from the notification panel there is some stutter; it's present throughout the ui. The moto g supposedly runs KitKat smoothly with a slower CPU and half the RAM.

Under downloads. Its called app settings. Although I don't know if it will prevent apps from fc. I have a few that do. I like it for the per-app DPI basis.

But apps are slow to open, the keyboard is slow and unresponsive to appear and some of the animations are just very choppy, just not the experience I am used to.

Edit: I should also say that it's not as bad as I may have made it out to seem, once apps are open and the keyboard has been up for a bit things run fine, it's usually just the loading up and closing down of apps where things slow down or get choppy.

You could greenify and hibernate the app. Couple with app Ops to block the wake locks. Should be pretty much keep the background apps quiet as much as it goes.

Chrome Incompatible

Just updated to v21 today. Works great so far, ran into a weird issue with Chrome, but solved it and thought I would post what I did in case anyone else runs into it.

When Chrome tried to update after flashing v21, it said the existing copy was not signed properly and needed to be removed, followed by a redownload.

I removed the system apk for chrome. This gave me the error "Incompatible Update" after download and during installation.

I solved this by editing my build prop to state 4.4.3. Downloaded and installed fine. Edited Build prop back.

Not sure if this is an Android 4.4.3 thing or it's Slimkat related, but I'm having issues with the playback of HTML5 video in any app that uses it. The videos play but you can't see it correctly, it's like shifted out of position inside the playback window.

This started happening when I clean flashed the first version of the ROM that introduced Android 4.4.3 (v19? I can't remember exactly).

I know it's ROM/Android related because the video in those same apps worked fine before updating. And also I know other people on 4.4.2 using those apps without issues.

Has anyone experienced this? Is HTML5 video broken in Android 4.4.3 webview?
