Why does Google chrome get uninstalled every time I flash the new weekly and gapps? Thanks.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] seadersn:
may be updater-script of gapps.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] azazel71:
Just rooted my new M8 and flashed the latest build its awesome....one day on sense was about all I could stand.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] TarekElsakka:
I installed it as a secondary ROM today along with Excalibur's kernel and it booted fine but for some reason Mobile Data and signal aren't working, it's as though I don't even have a SIM card installed. Do you think it could have anything to do with the kernel? And when I try searching for a Network it takes a long time then eventually gives me an error that it couldn't search or something like that.

EDIT: Ok I reinstalled and the kernel definitely is the culprit.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ax562:
That excalibur kernel should be labeled "If you flash this you will break your phone". Should be taken down ASAP.

Anyone else having trouble mounting the sd cards through usb while connecting to pc/linux? I cannot mount sd cards. Viper rom works with ext-sd but not sure I ever mounted internal. With slimkat v8.10 I cannot mount either sd cards. Anyone else experience this? Any fixes? Any version that do not do this?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Sounds like you need to flash the partitionfixer zip. I keep a copy on my extsd card. If you flashed excaliber then I'm sure that's what happened. Once you flash it all will be well
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ax562:
No. I fixed that excalibur issue. This was happening before I flashed excalibur kernel. I could not mount sdcard through usb to my pc. I went back to version 8.9 and everything is OK. Thanks!

Is there a way to set the ui differently so it's not so tiny? Everything seems smaller in this rom, even SwiftKey keyboard

Should I go with official stable or nightly?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] thegame3202:
Running the official stable (just flashed from GPE), and my ringer and such when volume is maxed is super loud and sounds like the speakers are blown. Is there a way to lower the max volume and/or fix the sound issue? Thanks!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PureLife90:
I don't understand how this is a custom rom and doesn't even have root permissions. I tried downloading supersu from the market but it failed to update. So how do I obtain root?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Galaen:
I can't tell if you are joking, but if not, check out developer options in settings.

Sent from my AT&T HTC One M8
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kickassdave:
You have to go in to developer options and disable and enable root.

That should do the trick.

(You shouldn't have to do this though - I'd imagine one wee line of code is wrong, but I don't think anyone will fix it now)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jpcdeux:
Can this be flashed if S-On?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] BR7fan:
Yes
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
SlimKat has always been this way. Its been this way since I had the Nexus 5 and was flashing the beta versions.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jpcdeux:
Do these Roms have the ufocus and other photo editing that the stock/GPE have?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] krazie1:
No, only sense and gpe roms will have those features because it's built into HTC framework
[One (M8) Original Android Development] BlackAlien92:
Gg

.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] PureLife90:
alright thank you.. i really didnt know that it was built into the developers options.. anyways.. i've switched from this and pa a little bit the passed few days and i'm just not sure if there are even any differences between the 2 roms. i'm currently on pa now because that's what i had a backup for. are there even really any differences or just basically different developers with different names/sources?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Galaen:
They are somewhat close, a few different features. I tend to use slim more because I have less issues, not that PA is riddled with bugs, definitely not. My main problem is that with PA, I can use the themes that I bought. Slim doesn't have theme chooser yet.

Sent from my AT&T HTC One M8
[One (M8) Original Android Development] wallythander:
And they won't ever have theme chooser, from what I read a while back. So I wouldn't hold your hopes up.

I would also say that PA has many more features. I haven't used PA in a long time, but it had things like per app DPI, tablet mode and various other bells and whistles. Slim tends to be aimed at those who want something simpler, more stream lined and... well... slimmer.

Turn me into the pun police. I don't care.

I will also just chime in and say that Slim has been very very stable for me for a good while now. I don't use SlimLauncher, though I played around with it and it was pretty cool, though it struck me as needing a bit more time to have the rough bits smoothed.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jxcorex28:
If themes is such an issue, use HKthememanager xposed module....
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Galaen:
Well, the lack of theme chooser isn't keeping me awake at night or anything like that. If I'm not using sense or just being flash-happy with various aosp roms throughout a day, then slim is my go-to rom.

Video playback issues

Anyone else experiencing issues with video playback? Like in every app? YouTube, Instagram, playing .mp4 files in VLC... literally all of them are not working for me, even after multiple updates to the apps and at least two new weeklies. The video will seem to start for maybe a second, I'll hear sound very briefly, then it just stops. This will continue happening no matter how many times I try replaying the video.

I am also running SlimKat on my Nexus 7 and decommissioned Galaxy Nexus, and neither device has these problems.. So is it just my device, or has anyone else experienced anything similar? Thanks in advance for any advice.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] wallythander:
I had that problem on excalibur, for some of the newer releases. Same exact video sort of starting, like a stutter of video and then no more video, it stops. I am currently using the new furnace, my video works. I got it working on excalibur, I think, but I don't honestly remember what I did to get it to work.

Slim is running amazing! I am giddy as a schoolboy waiting for SlimPop or whatever it will be called when Slim Lollipop is released.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] wallythander:
Add-ons Beta seems to be missing all download links. I have add-ons Beta 385, but I haven't checked back in a week, is there a newer Gapps? I see that 385 is now in the regular addons download section, so I am curious as to whether there is a more updated package and whether or not they have stopped updating KitKat gapps.

Edit, I didn't realize I just sort of double posted, though I am guessing that a week in between doesn't quite count.

Remove power control widget from lockscreen

Hi everybody!

From some weekly builds (I don't remember how many), when I wake up my phone doule tapping on the screen or pushing power button,

I find on the lockscreen a big version of the widget "power control", the one that can activate wifi bluetooth sync etc.

I would like to remove it from lockscreen since it's not so pretty and cover my beautiful "Dark side of the moon" wallpaper... :crying:

I tried to have a look around in Settings but I was not able to find anything...

Can anybody give me suggestions?

Thanks in advance!!!

Was bored so i made this runs well.

At least for me on every reboot you have to go to carrier settings and choose your provider .

Sprint has a issue i guess
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Thanks brudda , hope sprint will connect to data after reboot it has plagued us on every CM12 ROM besides one cause the fix was applied by updating sprint vendor blobs to 4.4.4 fixed by CPTB

Edit: Runs amazing, but as I suspected no data after reboot and no way to get it working again. Thanks though the ROM was running smooth as ever
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Pielvrx:
Everything is running smooth. No data reconnect issue after reboot. On t mobile. Thank you
[One (M8) Original Android Development] wallythander:
Hmmm, trying it out, I have rebooted a handful of times after install, I have kept data, though I just installed 20-30 minutes ago. I too am on Sprint. It does say No Sim Card on the lock screen, but I still get LTE data, at least according to the status bar, once I unlock.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Wonder what's going on on my end hmmmmm

Also it is usually after first boot when data is gone so if you survived first boot you should be good

Edit: one thing I did notice is that it did say no sim searching for service and usually I think it says just no Sim and that it
[One (M8) Original Android Development] sykoj82:
Slim lollipop working great for me :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] BR7fan:
I see that they are calling 5.0 SlimLP. The new logo looks fantastic.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] wallythander:
I reinstalled 4.4 for today, but it would say Searching for service every time I rebooted and it would still say No SIM, but I had LTE data anyway, which if I recall correctly needs the SIM card.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
I didn't have the LTE coming on at all rebooted multiple times
[One (M8) Original Android Development] djpabz23:
No data after reboot as well. Sprint with Digitalhigh's modified 5.0.1 firmware.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
I had flashed back to 4.4.4 HK firmware before trying this rom so we know that's not the issue.

I'm referring to the 5.0.1 unofficial slimpop
[One (M8) Original Android Development] djpabz23:
I know. I tried running it with modified firmware and still no data
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
I hope I'm not making myself look stupid for not searching better -- but are there any more recent Builds of SlimLP for our device (M8) ?

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Yeah I'll take a look but editing framework for this is the wrong way to go. Changes should be in the devices libril.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heavymetall66:
Not the size, I mean that "pencil fonts " is not working ...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] BlueHarford:
not true, if overall the signal readings are wrong, google has changed these vaules at least twice, someone working with CM at least once.

unless you change the framework code to use variables vs hardcoded vaules i dont see how a override will work in this case.

framework is modified all the time when needed

fyi https://android-review.googlesource...ny/java/android/telephony/SignalStrength.java
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Yes but what I meant is that making changes there for one device isn't the way to go. I don't think that is the main problem I've seen though it just doesn't fit. I've just not had any time to sit and look at it in depth though so I may be utterly wrong. :)

[One (M8) Original Android Development] MFD00M:
Running the latest build of this and wow it runs great. Can't seem to find any major issues, been running it all weekend. There is one I found but seems to be present with most of the M8 AOSP based roms. While watching videos in full screen mode, if I change from landscape to portrait the screen goes wonky.

Will the next update be released as a nightly? Is that where I should be checking for updates from now on?

Great job on this rom!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kennonk:
I was curious if the m8 was going to be added to the slimroms site and get an official weekly build today or should we just watch the OP? In the past on my d800 and SGS3 slim did Monday morning builds. Just curious if it would be similar for m8.

Thanks!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
With stable build 5 being imminent, quite a bit of m8 support is still on gerrit waiting to be merged. Should all be done after build 5 ships and then weekly builds will commence. I should get another build out before then though.

Statusbar Ticker

Settings icons fixed

Quick Unlock Control

Pin keypad shuffler

Better font size control

Lockscreen shortcuts

Support for Device Handler

Remove Misc and over-counted in battery usage (Not meant for end users)

Quick note this is a straight build from source other then i enabled device handler and fixed it based on a change from oppo-common.

Device handler if you do not know allows you to control the off screen gestures

[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Just out of curiosity, why upgrade the firmware? . Seems like the other AOSP LP ROMs or builds don't require that?

If course GPE, different story
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
The new GPE kernel source needs something that's only in recent firmware, for me it still booted but was stuck on the HTC screen for quite a while and I didn't get a boot logo just booted straight into the OS.

Should always keep firmware fairly recent really if not up to date :)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heavymetall66:
Hi [MENTION=4350964]Flinny[/MENTION],

I'm still on an old firmware 4.4.3, you say, the ROM will not work, only if one performs an update. Have you already tried this as I could also install the CM 12 LP.

regards

second ;)

I'll test it once

---------- Post added at 03:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:46 PM ----------

I have flashed the ROM and see the HTC logo for a while until the machine starts. This I already know from the last 4.4.3 Sense ROM, in my case the Renovate. It also takes a little longer to start.

So far so good, they'll have a test and report

Thank you
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leebsammy:
What firmware version are you referring to?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Take a look a look at the discussion on CM's gerrit about it.

http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/81774/

Looks like it requires bootloader version 3.18.0.0000 or 3.19.0.0000 as a minimum.

Nick.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] heavymetall66:
Thanks for the info and here already the first impressions:

After flashing the ROM you lose the root privileges, so I flashed the latest superuser by recovery and the restored root access!

Let's see how the battery consumption developed
