Hi,

I've switched to Slim6 during the holidays... I'm currently on the most recent version, build 1.17 from 23.12.2016. Great to see my trusted old M8 using an up-to-date and bloat free OS!

I've noticed a few glitches though which I want to post here as a bugreport (in case they're not known already):

Screen off gestures (under Settings > Navigation) don't work for me at all (I assume they should be functional when the screen is off, i.e., locked?). Even the back button (top left corner) doesn't work on the respective settings screen, clicking it does nothing. You have to use the regular back button instead.

There's an FC appearing ("Slim Launcher was terminated" or similar, I'm using German language) when trying to add some widgets to a screen. Examples are the switch for the "Red Moon" app (display filter), the traffic situation widget of Google Maps and almost all Slim Settings / Slim Actions. I can record a log and provide it here if necessary.

Occasionally (unfortunately can't reproduce it right now) the quick settings overlap with the status bar, making it impossible to confirm a setting as the "recent apps" or "home" button are in front. One example where I experienced that were the "do not disturb" settings. Strange enough, at the moment they work as expected and the quick settings screen does not extend down to the very buttom of the screen where the conflict would occur.

Can anyone confirm these findings? If so, maybe they can be addressed in one of the next versions. Thanks!

Hi,

One more question. Please let me know where to ask instead if this is not the correct forum, as I assume my problem is not specifically related to SlimROM but more a general one with the dialer used in it...

When a contact in the favorites has more than one number, a selection dialogue apperas where I can choose which of the numbers to dial. There's also a "remember my selection" (or similar) checkbox. But once I've ticked that and confirmed, how can I undo that decision later (make the selection appear again)? Now always the selected number is called directly, without any possibility to choose another number. :(

I've tried to find something in the settings, using a long click / context menu or similar on the contact, to remove and re-add the contact to the favorites, and even to delete all data of the dialer. Nothing helped. Is there any way to get back that nice interactive selection dialogue for the affected contact (or at least for all contacts/favorites at once, kind of a global "reset")?

Thanks for your help and a hint how to tame that dialer beast! ;)

I'm in Slim6 1.0(stable), I was listening to music from Spotify and just as I was typing a comment on Facebook, a loud beep sound started coming and afterwards, everything froze. I immediately touched both power and sound off button in the same time and it rebooted in 2-3 seconds. What was that? Is it normal? I really panicked.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] engelhro:
Hello,

Do the developers (@flinny as thread creator is also the device maintainer, right?) read here at all? There was no reply to my questions early January.

I know that bug reports for SlimROM can be given via Google+, but I'm not a Google+ member and won't become one just to report findings which I can also describe here on XDA…

I plan to switch to Slim7 soon, so the bugs mentioned in Slim6 (which still exist in the most recent version, stable 2.0) don't really bother me any longer. But it would be nice to know that constructive feedback like future bug reports (for Slim7 then) or questions on unclear functionality (like the dialer issue) don't go unnoticed.

Thanks a lot in advance!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] thelangosta:
I flashed the latest slim 7 this morning. I don't remember specific bugs from slim 6 but am willing to test specific things. Slim 7 is still listed as a beta but has been stable for me so far today.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] engelhro:
Hi,

Thanks for the offer! Looking at my post, there are three things I had trouble with (and that might be resolved with Slim7):

Screen off gestures (under Settings > Navigation, at least in Slim6) didn't work at all

An FC occured when adding various widgets to a screen, especially those of the Slim settings / Slim actions group

There was absolutely no way to make the dialer forget the selected favorite in case a contact has several phone numbers (I wanted to revise my decision, but there seems to be no possiblity to ever reset that setting and get the interactive selection dialogue again)

I'd be glad to learn whether any of these has been fixed on Slim7!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] thelangosta:
Um sorry I had to restore a nandroid of a different ROM. I was having weird WiFi issues on slim 7. It was showing all but one bar of signal strength but none of the apps I was trying at the time would connect. The strange thing is that it was working before that and it worked fine in the ROM I restored.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] engelhro:
No problem! :)

I do not follow the Slim7 thread so far, but did you report the problem there? Was there any feedback?

I'll switch to Slim7 soon and try my luck. Maybe I do not experience that particular problem, and maybe the other issues I wrote about do not exist there also (I'm optimistic, I know). In case of trouble I'll try to report the problems again in the Slim7 thread, but in case there is again no acknowledgement, it might be time to conclude that SlimROM is dead again (i.e., no support to be expected) and we need to jump ship (as you already did). Would be too sad... :crying:

[One (M8) Original Android Development] MFD00M:
YUP! :good:

Weekly build is up for the M8, it's on the slimrom website.

I'm getting ready to install it now.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nerotix:
Please report on the bugs which were present and how they are now.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Yes weekly is up. The HTC Double trap to wake is included for now, until some open source replacement that isn't kernel based comes along ;)
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mitchallica:
In 5.2 the wifi is still disconnecting randomly and the speakers are super loud and distorted. Those are the only bugs I can find so far.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] nerotix:
Have you tried installing viper4android and it's drivers?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
This rom is amazing runs faster on this device than on my nexus 5 only issue is I have to set my WiFi to 2.4 GHz only to read my dlink router most likely a router issue. Sound sounds as good as sense listening to music on headphones also. Didn't notice distortion in speaker. Also downloaded trickster and core was stuck at max speed
[One (M8) Original Android Development] MFD00M:
I haven't had much time to play with my phone except for the initial setup process. I'll test out Wifi disconnecting on reboot when I get home. Not sure what other bugs were present before?

Double tap to wake/sleep FTW!

Rom is running fast and smooth so far and haven't run into any issues yet from the limited use i've had with it.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] dandan2980:
WiFi connects after reboot it just takes a few minutes for me I do have to turn it back on. One other issue I had was no sim error and had to reboot to get data to turn back on had same issue on moto x and aosp ROMs of course I'm on Sprint
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ayemiller:
Excuse my ignorance, but I can't seem to control the double tap to wake/sleep with the provided kernel or Excalibur using trickster mod or other settings. It always seems to be enabled. Otherwise the new build is working great!!!
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Rauch:
You can't control it. It's there. It's always functioning.

It's HTC's original implementation in userland, not just some hacked up kernel code.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] ayemiller:
I figured out a solution to stop double tap to wake. You can disable or delete EasyAccessService.apk in system/app
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
Yes you should be able to use slimsizer to remove it... Or just Mount system rw and delete it.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] mitchallica:
I'll look into that, thanks.

[MENTION=4350964]Flinny[/MENTION] - Bada$$ rom man. This is soo damn smooth on my phone. always been a fan. glad you're here on the m8. I also did have the google services crash but i just updated everything from the playstore, rebooted and everything was perfect. everything is running smooth. used Gravity box to enable the advance power menu and im good.

I know this is on most, if not all source roms but i have some distortion in the speakers when the volume is turned up, do you need anything from us to help with that? I doubt a log will help with that but am more than willing to help if you need anything.

Edit: just realized the advanced reboot is under security under settings. Thats my bad lol.

Also, is there a way to enable a lockscreen torch? I didnt see a setting for it and it wont work through the gravity box module.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] 123421342:
Liquid fixed that issue and you needed a clean flash for it to work. Have you tried clean flash?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
which issue? the distortion?

I did clean flash. I was on a GPE ROM before, i fully wiped system,data,dalvik cache and cache. even cleared the entire internal storage before flashing this.

It seems to only get slightly distorted when have the ringer set right below the highest volume.
[One (M8) Original Android Development] simpl3lang:
It is slow. Everytime im watching youtube it buffers all the time. And yes im near the router. Also my internet is fast. No problem viewing videos 1080p on ny desktop and laptop. And other devices
[One (M8) Original Android Development] jshap70:
Does anyone know the actual reason for why the wifi is still being issues?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] Flinny:
HTC didn't release the WiFi kernel module source code that they shipped with the phone. I tracked down the revision of the code they were using which is what is being used at the moment but it looks like htc made modifications to that code as the modules that shipped has something like -htc-68 on the end of the version string. It might be modifications they made or it might be something unrelated that we've not hit yet. Out it might be router dependant as some seem fine with WiFi. I'm assuming your having the same problem on all the aosp built roms?
[One (M8) Original Android Development] shawn0223:
Anyone having issues with the Mic not working when the call is on sPeaker? It works whenever a call is not on speaker, as soon as I flip to speaker, the Mic stops working and no one can hear me on the other end. Gonna pull a log real quick.

Edit: below is a log I pulled. Wasn't sure exactly how to capture the error so I made a call, put it on speaker, waited a bit and turned off the speaker. Waited a little more, then speaker back on, then back off. Hopefully it helps you find the issue

[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Guiyoforward:
Hi everyone, my Relay 4g, thanks to all devs, rocks. I'm even thinking about buying a new one and keeping it in its box - in my experience, phones with hinges and moving parts such as this one do not last long.

We are part, I'm afraid, of a very small niche in the market - no one wants QWERTY phones, or atthe very least no one seems to want to supply them. Has anyone seen any rumor on new/upcoming Android qweerty phones?

Thanks!!

This is why there aren't QWERTY devices. People don't do anything with their pocket computers..
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
I think part of the problem is that QWERTY for many people is one of those things that you think you can live without... until you try it for some time.

Then you go back to a normal smartphone and you notice how much you don't say because it's a nuisance to type with an on-screen keyboard. You actively avoid having a meaningful conversation or replying to complex e-mails until you get to a pc (yes or meet in person, but lots of far away friends).

*sigh*
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Suncatcher16:
Absolutely! I can hardly explain the significance of hard keyboard to something but I cannot already live with usual phone myself :)

On-screen keyboard is a total s**t!

Therefore I've bought second Relay already)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Gibson99:
you've hit the nail on the head. my first smartphone was the original samsung blackjack (windoze mobile 5, later flashed to a custom 6.1 rom i think), and it was a blackberry style phone. when i tired of that, i got a samsung continuum, which was touch-only. not only was the device massively defective (had to return it so many times, vzw let me get a different model phone), not having a keyboard sucked for actually doing anything. so i got a droid 2 - slider qwerty. that one had its flight license revoked after a high speed impact with a wall, and was replaced with my current droid4. the d4 is slowly dying and its battery can't be (easily) replaced, and i want away from big red, so after much research, i decided that the relay is the best-specced qwerty slider on the market right now - especially sad since the just-released f3q or whatever actually has WORSE specs than the relay. so i bought a relay yesterday - found a local tmo store that had some open item stock and bought one for only $125. now i have to learn how to root, flash, and all that all over again - sammy stuff is WAY different from moto.

because i can actually use my phone for damn near everything (including RDP into the dell poweredge in my garage), i haven't even turned on my desktop pc in all of 2014. granted, i have a work laptop, but i don't have admin rights on it so i can't use it to work on my new relay. might have to commandeer the wife's laptop for that. :D

when i'm forced to use someone else's touch-only device (including my wife's sgs3 and tab2 7"), i quickly get frustrated by the on-screen keyboard. haptic feedback is no replacement for tactile buttons. that's why touchscreen sucks in a car, and why i hope the Tesla Model E (or whatever they're going to call it now) doesn't have 100% touch controls like the model S and model X. some touch is fine and appropriate in a car, but for some things, having a real knob or button is more efficient and safer. but i digress. calling these phones a "pocket computer" is 100% accurate. maybe someone will come up with a way to make those tack-on bluetooth keyboards not suck so much (like maybe they can clone the droid4's keyboard - it's nicer than the relay's, IMHO) or make it even bigger and make use of the space provided by these phablets out there now. i wouldn't mind carrying around a galaxy note if it had a good slider qwerty on board, and let me shrink the fonts to make better use of that big screen. alas, i just don't see that happening.
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] REV3NT3CH:
if you ever need help setting it up or unlocking it and all that ill be glad to help and guide you to the right threads
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] rad30n:
What's really sad is that every manufacturer has such a huge lineup (including stupid curved versions of phones that are more expensive and worse than the original uncurved version --- looking at you Samsung) and yet nobody can squeeze out a qwerty with a modern chipset.

The Relay is indeed a keeper! Hope this great community can go on collaborating and updating it for the next few years :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G] Guiyoforward:
I think i will buy another relay to keep in storage! The f3q does not look great:
