I believe this is official. It is available from the Slim ROM site. An unofficial release wouldn't be.

OTA does not work on my Nexus 10 for weeklies either. It doesn't show updates until a new major release is out. Even then, the download does not work.

Must say that the ROM is pretty good and stable, I come from CM 20140316 nightly and that is a tough contender. Just changed the DPI to the stock configuration and replacedthe mixer paths that have been posted on the CM Discussion thread and the call quality is good. That mixer paths have been merged to the CM tree, so we can expect them in the next Slim build :)

The only thing I miss from CM is the option to control only the media volume with the volume buttons (I don't really change the ringtone volume usually) and the buttons action on the lock screen (play music holding the menu button, etc).

Will keep it for more days to test it as it deserves.

EDIT: I found that the volume keys configuration can be found at Settings/Sound/Advanced options and ckecking "Media control" :good:

Sorry if it was already asked, I searched, but couldn't find anything.

Am I the only one who gets the screen-freeze during a call? When I receive a call, the screen goes black, and the device is not responding, except for the hardware buttons, which light up, but do nothing (sometimes I am able to get to the launcher and then hang up from Notifications). If I pick up the call with the Speaker on, the screen stays on, but is still unresponsive.

I tried tinkering with the proximity sensor settings, and managed to get the screen to behave in a fair manner, but the screen freeze is still there.

Anyone getting this?

Yep.

It did behave *a bit* better. Immediately after the answering the call, the call interface comes up on the screen (previously the screen would go dark right now), but now when the screen turns off (say you place the phone next to your ear), you can't bring it up anymore.

Here's another log, after I tinkered a bit with proximity sensor settings, which made the phone more responsive (i.e. pressing the Home physical button immediately takes you to the launcher), but the moment you pull up the phone call interface, the screen goes dark again, and no way to access it, unless you leave it.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
Camera was OK unill 4-6 recent updates, instead try OpenCamera from F-Droid Market if having problems.

The speaker is also a bit dribbly sounds distorted but ViPER4Android can fix this.

On previous SlimKat releases like from v4.0 the trick was to use Perseus's modded Philz Recovery and his Perseus Kernel which had the speaker working well but as the SlimKat build evolved Perseus Kernel stopped working properly so now just use ViPER4Android and EQ the sound.

Another issue was call quality, the receiver would have difficulty hearing you the speech would come across as distorted but this happens randomly.

Also during a call sometimes the the sensor would not wake the phone up for you to hang up this also happens randomly.

Other than that it's a nice combo some of these issue may get fixed soon if not fixed already..

What a bummer! from Slimroms.net

I haven't tried your version, but I did try the "official" one (weekly build 7), and Camera FC's on opening, I even tried sideloading different camera apks with no luck :(

Realistically games should run better because SlimKat is very light on resources and has a custom kernel to help it run smoothly. Ether way the phone is nicely equipped and has plenty of cores and RAM. I have the phone's CPU/GPU under-clocked and have never experienced slow downs unless I over load it with a ton of RAM hungry apps which is expected.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] orky87:
I've been at this ROM abusing it for a couple of hours now and it's holding up nicely. Camera/video/playback works. Caller quality has worked without any issue so far also and that goes for the load speaker too. Good job BD!

How does your version differ from the "official" weekly version in slimroms.net for our device?

Also, last night I tried some things to bring back camera functionality.

I did a full wipe, installed weekly version 6.6, no gapps, camera worked just fine, then dirty flashed to weekly version 7, no gapps, camera still working, finally installed gapps for version 7, and went ahead and installed my apps from the Play Store.

Working camera with version 7 (Slim-i9500-4.4.4.build.7.0-WEEKLY-6004) ! :good:

So, as of now, I'm back to being happy with SlimKAT ROM in my GS4.
