Is anyone else having GPS issues? I've been unable to get a GPS insta lock the past few weeklies and now on 7.0 ... My M8 is a Verizon variant and i hadn't tried the GPS on stock because I rooted it the first day I had it. Thanks for any help.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
All OK here... Locations services all turned on?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leebsammy:
yeah Flinny, It'll find my location and destination route just fine but if im in a moving vehicle it wont update. meaning the arrow wont move. also GPS Test and GPS Status apps cant find my location. I've tried resetting AGPS, wiping system, used "device only" and "high accuracy" settings. It's odd because I've been at places in town like bars and have used the Facebook app to post my location just fine. but trying to use the Maps app as GPS directions, does not.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Yeah I get an almost instant sat lock. What firmware does your phone report currently?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Go back to sense get a lock on gps then restore back to Slim all set
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rambleon84:
I had issues with GPS on past versions but the latest stable works fine for me. Just used my tracks and it locked onto my location pretty quickly
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leebsammy:
here:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kennonk:
I have had this happen in the past if I had Google Maps locked down with App Ops, or if my Google account location settings weren't all turned on.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leebsammy:
I've never installed App Ops myself and heres my location settings:
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kennonk:
Do you have location reporting turned on under the Google section there?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leebsammy:
Location Reporting is "On for this device" and Location History is "On."
[One (M8) Original Android Development] kennonk:
I know I've had the same issue you are describing on my Note2 using Slim, and I toggled location reporting off and on a few times and disabled app security for Maps and that seemed to have fixed it for me back then. Sorry :(
[One (M8) Original Android Development] d1ez3:
Is there any way to get the full camera effects on this rom like in sense roms? I don't see any options for Ufocus.. etc. The HTC gallery app isn't compatible, so are there any alternatives?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leebsammy:
:D

I'll try this over the next few days.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Bro I'll say this again since you over looked my post. Yes you will be able to find location with mobile network this is why your Facebook post was accurate on your location but your satellite will not connect for high accuracy. SIMPLY GO BACK TO SENSE GET A GPS LOCK WHILE IN MAPS THEN REBOOT BACK IN RECOVERY AND RESTORE BACK TO SLIM GPS WILL WORK

---------- Post added at 08:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

I'm on Sprint and 3 things I do before flashing over to Aosp

1 update profile

2 update prl

3 make sure to have a gps lock

Never have any data or gps issues
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leebsammy:
Yo my bad for looking over your post. I dont have a backup of sense my dude. Is there another way?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] d1ez3:
My phone is stuck on the slimkat boot after the first reboot. How do I get into recovery? I can only get it to reboot again,

edit: I got it, quickly pressed power and vol down after the reboot. Dont know why this rom doesn't boot though, back to sense for me
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Just back up Slim then flash sense ROM anyone I know its a pita but it'll get GPS working

---------- Post added at 08:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:54 PM ----------

Hold power and volume up simultaneously until you see the screen completely black may take 10- 30 sec then immediately hold volume down and power button will put you in boot loader
[One (M8) Original Android Development] leebsammy:
Thanks a lot dandan, I'm going to bed but I'm going to try this tomorrow. Would you be chill with me pming you if I need help? Or do you idle an irc channels?

[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
Thanks man, I was able to tweak v4a to help with playing music but the distortion I'm wanting to fix is the ringer. V4a doesn't process the ringer for some reason. It starts working whenever I play music. So whenever the phone rings or even a text message comes in it sounds horrible. Idk if v4a has the option to process the notifications.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shaunhoop1981:
What your after is to change a value to limit the max ringer volume as mine is the same if I bring my ringer volume down by two on the volume adjust bar its perfect

SlimKat Weekly 7.2 for M8 will be available soon at http://www.slimroms.net/
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
No update yet been checking all day and looks like its version 7.2.1 maybe there was a problem with Jenkins that is what they call the auto builder correct.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] E30Nova:
Is there any difference between gapps? I'm still using a set from like May of this year because it includes basically everything, whereas a lot of other gapps packages are smaller and missing apps.

I also download and install a separate modified play store so I can install tablet apps.

The reason I ask is because the play store I download is a dark themed one, but I saw someone mention TRDS, and I was wondering if that was updated to theme all apps? Last time I used it, not all apps actually went dark. If hangouts, gmail, and the play store all go dark, I may just switch to a slim gapps package.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
Thanks man. that fixes the distortion but then my ringer is too quiet lol. No worries though, minor bug and definitely not a deal breaker. Still my daily driver. I'll just wait till it gets fixed lol. So glad the speakerphone Mic issue was resolved lol. I use that all the time
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rambleon84:
I'm on the last stable full gaps, only the play store is on trds
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Flawless as usual 7.2.1 gets better and better every week.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] androidfilesharing:
Holy crap!

Real world usage right after the birth of my daughter! Tons of pictures and phone calls. Great job Slim Team!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] E30Nova:
Awesome, speakerphone AND the ir blaster work again!

The two final pieces to the puzzle. :D
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Stock kernel? What kernel settings?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] androidfilesharing:
I didn't change anything
[One (M8) Original Android Development] BR7fan:
I get around the same results. The slim team does a great job.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rambleon84:
I'm getting an audio drop when listening to albums with play music. The song ends, next song starts (with sound) but then the audio drops a few seconds later the song shows its still playing. This happens when screen is on/off.

Hitting the previous track button to restart the song fixes it though, at least until the next song queues.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/uwlg5ppttso9fal/bugreport.zip

This only applies to albums, for some reason everything works flawless when on shuffle. The issue has been on the last two albums i added to my device. Weirdly it is only MP3, doesnt happen with FLAC's.. who has an idea?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
I'll give it a try when I her a second. I've not noticed it but then I usually have shuffle on or use spotify...
[One (M8) Original Android Development] indyssee:
Just got the M8 and immediately put Slim on it and its great, of course. I was wondering if everybody's LTE toggle working? Certain parts of my house will switch to 3g and, on my old GS3, using the toggle would bring back 4g. Now I have to go into networks and switch to 1x and back to LTE for it to work or wait for it to do it on its own, which can take awhile. Thanks for the great ROM.

Can anyone help me with Viper4Android settings? What should I put it at to get rid of the mega annoying distortion on the speakers. That would be greatly appreciated.

anyone having issues sending screenshots? when i take the screenshot its perfectly visible but when i send it in a message, its blurry as f*ck. lol. it shows up blurry in my messaging app as well as on the recipients phone. but the image itself is perfectly legible.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] rambleon84:
It's probably just being compressed to all hell like normal photos do when texting. try cropping the image before you send it of the important part of the grab you are trying to send to keep the size smaller. If you want to send them full size/quality email them. Better options would be using hangouts/facebook messenger (non sms) or posting to photo sharing site.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
Any way to keep it from compressing that much? I mean it's a screenshot, it's already pretty Damn small in size lol. Doesn't do it on sense and gpe roms so it must be an aosp thing or maybe some setting in the messaging app
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Which build are you on? I merged a commit to increase the Max size of an MMS on the 12th I'm not 100% sure it made the last weekly but should definitely be in 7.4. I didn't think many people use MMS anymore, it's the one thing carriers like to charge for on inclusive plans and the alternatives are better ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
Thanks for the response man. Im on the 7.0 official build. I always use MMS lol. i send all my texts through the messaging app (love the quick reply). i cant stand use hangouts for messaging. lol. im on AT&T and all text/mms are unlimited so thats all i use.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Install the 7.4 weekly and try again then. Texts are free but MMS lots of providers charge for whilst most people have lots of free data these days so use other methods ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
will do. its the total opposite here lol. Most plans provide unlimited talk and text/mms and limit the data.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] rambleon84:
Any one have a fix for songs not playing? Still having the issue with songs ending and the next one starting and then after a couple seconds going mute. Seems to be happening with different music apps too, not just google's. I also tried switching kernels to see if that had something to do it but its still happening. It's annoying to have to restart the track to get it to play correctly.

I didnt notice it until the latest stable and now i am on the currently weekly. It doesnt do it for every song either...seems more random.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
Thats weird, i'm on the latest stable release which is 7.0 and i listen to music all day using power amp and havent noticed anything like this. I'm going to update to the latest weekly once i get home and will check to see if it does this. Clean install?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
Flashed the latest update and the screenshots are clear now. Thanks man. Did the background of the recent apps get changed to white? Screenshot attached

Edit: nevermind. It flipped back to normal after rebooting i guess. Weird. lol

Been listening to music for the past two hours at the gym on the new build and haven't noticed the issue you were reporting. Try power amp. That's what I use
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dante020:
I have the same problem on Stitcher - after one podcast ends, the next starts and pauses. Sometimes it kind of stutters. I have to pause and resume it for it to play correctly.

Love this ROM has been my daily driver for months now only hang up for me is the camera does anybody have any known working alternatives
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
whats the issue with the camera, works fine for me
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shaunhoop1981:
I don't know if its because I played with the stock camera for ages but I'm finding it very grainy the taken picture is fine but while trying to focus the picture is crap and when I'm using in a dark situation it used to apply the flash while focusing then take picture now it will only flash once you click the capture button so I'm aiming blind before hand I've just tried Google camera its a little better but have not tried in the dark yet
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
mines grainy when zooming. and i totally didnt notice the flash thing until you mentioned it so i guess im having the same issues. Have you tried using Focal? I've heard nothing but good things about it. havent tried it myself but heres the link

Ah well this ROM still beats everything else hands down I can still get a more than decent pic when I need to I used to flip between ROMs a lot but since stable 6 I have not changed once I even s-offed just so I could flash radio and stay on slimkat good work all round
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Pielvrx:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] schnob:
I am loving this rom except I cannot get it to recognize my SD card. Vanir utilized it just fine and my computer recognizes it like normal. Any suggestions? Obviously I've tried taking it out and putting it back in and rebooting.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] djmatt604:
How is it formatted?

Sent from my One M8
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
What he said... Sounds like it's in a format that's either not supported (or maybe just not enabled) in the kernel.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] schnob:
Yeah, I guess o forgot the kernel can affect SD card recognition. I'm gonna try some other kernels, thanks for the help.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
If you want to let me know what format it is I can investigate enabling it for the next build.

[One (M8) Original Android Development] Rauch:
Well known? There hasn't been an issue with Slim and SDCards in write some time.... Nor have I heard of that issue anywhere. Closest I've come across is a couple ROMs not implementing SD card mounting properly and resulting in the SD card not getting mounted.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Hopefully I searched properly. But has anybody had problems with ringtones sticking. I can set a ringtone either the default or ringtones for individual contacts and it then goes back to some other ringtone. My ringtones just won't stick
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Are they on internal storage or on an external SD?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] DeeZZ_NuuZZ:
that was not only slimkat issue it was the Problem that since kitkat the permissions for both, the internal and externel storage gpt changed so we had to use a Workaround to Change and copy etc stuff on both Storages :P not even Change the Name of a file was possible or deleting it without using androids internal storage cleaner in Settings :D

One quick question how is the call quality and music? Specifically anyone with att.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jakTomas:
hey guys ,, i'm on InsertCoin sense6.0 ,,,, how can i install this rom ,, do i just wipe and then flash the Rom ,, and how can i get back to Sense6.0 ,,,

please advice :)

thanks ,
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mademan420:
It pretty much the same process as flashing a Sense based ROM except you flash GAPPS after flashing the ROM. Then to get back to Sense, just wipe(including data and system)

AOSP Based ROM wipe>flash ROM>flash GAPPS

Sense Based ROM wipe>flash ROM
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jakTomas:
thanks for your answer ,, would like to check if there is any problem with the sound in this rom ?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mademan420:
I'm running it right now and I havnet noticed any problems. Its not as full sounding like a Sense based Rom when it comes to music over BT or in earphones but its definately not a problem. I just use Viper to tweak it to my liking;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
I might be the only one on here that thinks that Aosp audio sounds better than sense,lol with Faux sound 3.5 driver using V4A
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mademan420:
Stock IMO, no. But tweaked, OH HELLS YEAH:p
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
That's what I'm saying tweaked out Aosp sounds better to me
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
No issues with call quality or music at all. Been on this for months. I think the only issue with the Rom is the distorted ringer issue but that's more of an aosp than a Rom issue. For music playback you can tweak the sound with v4a. But I haven't seen a workaround for the ringer aside from turning down the ringer about 2-3 notches below max. Unfortunately v4a doesn't tune the ringer. Or at least Idk how to make it tune the ringer.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Rauch:
Dan,

What settings are you running for audio now?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Faux sound

M8 extension set @ 20

Digital output gain is set any where between -5 thru -2

V4A here is screen shots
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
This is with in ear skull candy 50/50 earbuds so things may differ but should sound good on other in ear buds
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Rauch:
Interesting. I never messed with the headset settings. I was actually referring to the speaker, though. (Saw you quoted the guy talking about ringer distortion and whatnot)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Ring distortion you have to lower the volume a little. One or two notches V4A didn't seem to touch that on my end
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Rauch:
Awesome. I'll give that a go. Much different than other setups I've seen! Look forward to see how this goes!

Unfortunately M8 audio issues have to be a pain in the ass.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
The impulse sample I use is from Zhang impulse response thread it was the creative X-fi Z-edition. The acoustic creative X-fi you see in the pic really increases sound quality without distorting the speaks with the settings I posted. At times on spotify I have to adjust the output gain back up to 0 but music I have on sdcard. Its just right
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Rauch:
Awesome. I ended up buying his package. Do you have the updated 48kHz package, or are you running the 41kHz one?

The one I received via email appears to be 41kHz
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Creative didn't get updated to the 48khz at least I didn't receive it. But Sony xpheria, HTC beats and Apple ipod irs did and I have those ones. Acoustic creative is nice for speaker phone on aosp
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Do you guys use Xposed or do you feel it adversely effects performance or battery on this ROM?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Shamestick:
Through my experience I don't think it does
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
What all works well with this ROM? I seem to remember so problems trying to use gravity box with Slim
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
Gravity box would be pointless on this ROM actually the only xposed I ever used on this ROM was noverflow I believe that is what it was called it basically removes the 3 dots from apps that where on the top right cause I was using the navbar menu button. But I'd rather not use xposed at all. So I just run this ROM as is
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Shamestick:
I'd say just download it and try it out, it never hurts.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jcrompton:
Thanks guys... I had heard and understood from some experience with another device and Slim that gravity box didn't play well I like the individual app dpi .... Like to set the native calendar to a lower dpi and higher resolution
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Shamestick:
Use the app settings module for that, may have better success. As far as gravitybox goes, the problems I could see arising would be between settings in GB that are also baked into the ROM
