One thing I forgot to mention. Due to the kernel change it's advised to delete data/.alucard folder before flashing the ROM.

If you already flashed delete the folder and reboot.

Hi mate.

Just noticed in the SlimSaberKat undervolted profile, the default read-ahead values are as follows:

Internal SD: 1024

External SD: 128

Is this intentional?

I would think it should be the other way around if anything?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I also noticed it, I'm running stock settings an they also have these settings. I tried to change them to 256/512 twice now and both times my phone rebooted within a minute. I need to compare my version with the original source. Leave them as they are for now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
The Slim team committed a GPU driver update yesterday. I'm running a build with them included for about a day now. No issues.

I also tried the optimized dalvik lib's posted yesterday, my phone wouldn't boot, I will skip those.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Could you be more specific? Or maybe point me to some tutorial how to properly flash dalvik lib?

---------- Post added at 06:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 PM ----------

Sorry for OT, but I want to ask you if you know some good twrp recovery manager, an app where you can perform backup, restore, flash zips etc. [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION], I'm counting on you, as you seems to be human wikipedia when it comes to find useful apps :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
There isn't a tutorial mate and I'm hopeless at explaining things lol. But basically you have to extract installd from system/bin and delete the one in the dalvik zip from the other thread and replace with the one from the rom then re-zip and flash. Its a lot of effort for only a slight gain and sometimes it won't work (I'm sure there is a better method but I am a mere idiot lol :D) until then just flash the bionic patches as they work out the box (Z2, S5 or oneplus one are the good ones)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
+1 I'd like to know this too, I tried yesterday to delete the 'installd' file then flashed the dalvik patch, did get phone to boot but constant fc for system etc???
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
I flashed bionic lib from one plus one, and my score in antutu jumped about 800 points up... But I didn't notice any increased smoothness in everyday use, so I don't know if it is worth of effort at all :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Well - that worked :D not that much work for a flashaholic though, just gave me another nice little fix haha :laugh:

Thank you - well, I like placebo effect anyhow, keeps me happy lol
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I'm addicted to ZipInstaller for all my ROM and kernel flashing. It can do backups too.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
Bionic isnt that good.. Its the dalvik that makes the difference mate. It was so much easier before CM added a idiotic commit to decrease boot time on multi core devices (that broke the way these patches work, hence having the remove/mod files)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Wow, the online nandroid backup took only 104 secons. When I performed backup via TWRP it took about 350-400 seconds...

BTW guys, just had a freeze while switching tabs in tasker, im on slimsaber+alucard kernel and PA gapps. Also when the phone unfroze, systemui crashed(no fc). I will run a logcat for 3 days and see how it goes, lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Make sure you check if al partitions are included. My backup (1.6 GB) takes about 150 seconds.

I have no idea how ling a backup in TWRP would take. I never made one, only onandroid, scheduled every night.

Also whenever I need to restore a backup it's mostly because my system doesn't boot any more, no app is going to help me then ;) Restore I always do from recovery. That's about the only thing I ever do in recovery, everything else is handled by Zip Installer.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
If you are going to use onandroid have a look at the onandroid.sh script. No need to flash the device path after every ROM update.

Flash ZipInstaller, open it, choose Backup & Recovery from menu, turn on Use Onandroid. If you are doing it for the first time ZipInstaller let you choose your device. Do it, then ZipInstaller will download necessary script to flash. Flash it and voila, you can do online backups in ZipInstaller :)

Still no problems for me on 512/2056 (int/ext) up to now, so I'll keep it at these values for the time being.

Is there a way to block ongoing notifications like there is in GB and in CM?

I don't want to take notifications off altogether for a specific app (AcDisplay) but I just want to be able to hide the ongoing notification

This can be done in GravityBox but I would rather not install Xposed, and in CM, on long-press of the notification itself, there is an additional option to "hide notifications like this" which achieves what I'm after.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
have you tried long pressing the notification, then clicking on app info and "show notifications"?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Yes mate, thanks, but I know about this, and I mentioned I dont want to block notifications altogether for the app.

I just want to block the ongoing notification.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
Ah oops, misread your question then, my bad...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
No you can't, you can only do that with some Xposed modules.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I will do it later, Alucard is updating his source as we speak.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
SSK does have the lib/modules folder from alucard kernel. I have no idea why it's missing or moved in the official weekly.

EDIT: downloaded the last CM nightly that also doesn't have a lib/modules folder, I guess it's supposed to be that way.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kondra007:

If I clean install SlimKat after SSK and vice versa, do I need to wipe anything more than cache, dalvik, /system and data?

Kantjer a question - did you make that change regarding Bluetooth (something to do with it being set to medium and you were going to set to best?)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
A simple search will do wonders ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
yes "Set transmission priority for a2dp media channel to high"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] der_Kief:
OK that works but is the time daemon not necessary ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
I don`t know, but if it works without, it means that it is not :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] der_Kief:

is it possible to get back the button to close all apps, after holding the home button?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
You can safely remove it.

That error can happen if you don't have an active data connection during boot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
Cheers mate.

Would it be possible to automatically hide the arrows when no traffic is being displayed in the statusbar for a future release?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
For those having insatiability issues, try this newer kernel build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] der_Kief:
OK good to know :o

but why is it since the new version ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
No, it would put to much strain on the CPU to disable/enable the PNG's every time.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Perhaps a new time daemon is used. I don't know, I don't have the issue.

The Bluetooth connection with my car system gets disconnected very often. No real stable connection possible.

Anyone else having trouble with Bluetooth ?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Hen-3:

I flashed the kernel from kantjers link a few posts back.

Also the random reboot deletes some apps i installed lately.

After flashing the latest release i first saw that the latest 4 apps i installed where gone.

All the data of the apps are still on the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Have you tried latest kernel release that Kantjer posted a few time ago?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55104356&postcount=3623

Seems to be much more stable regarding RR's but something's weird is happening to me: every time i reboot my phone, one app, just that one and only, disappears! It vanishes to another dimension and i've to restore it through T.B. -> Sky Force 2014.

:confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Yep, my last reboot was with this new kernel... However I removed alucard folder from data directory, and flashed kernel again with default settings. It seems stable so far, no reboots.

Hey [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION], you could look into adding this for IR blaster issues: https://gerrit.slimroms.net/#/c/13147/1, it seems to fix stuff that's happened on CM's side. I have this in my ROM and I can use the IR blaster, just downloaded Smart IR real quick (kinda lagged) but it sent out a blast to my TV.

I'm not sure if this is the solution to the issues, but it's a good step in the right direction

Revert to previous version and wait until all related problems are sorted out!

I've had NOT a single reboot from yesterday when i 1st flashed the 28th release. Using the kernel that came with the rom, with stock stweaks settings.

Just one thing: after a reboot, few of my apps were uninstalled, just as someone else told it happened to him too few pages back.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
And after installed them, have you tried to reboot again?

If not, try so please just to see if it happens again... Every time I do it, I always loose one app (at least)!

I found out that something is eating my internal storage (3GB+).

Formatted but still after setting everything up I found out 750mb have gone to "system data" again.

I'm trying to find out if it has to do with cwm backups/online backups, hidden logs(I've deleted everything tho) or with the dual booting.

For the pic below I've used DiskUsage, please let me know if you're facing the same issue and if you've managed to solve it without a factory reset.

I've searched and seen allot of solutions but only a factory reset seems to fix it temporary.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:
Nope, dalvik it is..

To all.. about the reboots and apps getting uninstalled, don't worry that much, it can happen out of nowhere and the culprit might be even an application that simply got stuck.

If it's not repeatable it means it's not Rom's fault, keep in mind that we keep flashing at least once per week so such stuff do happen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Do you have apps moved to SD, I remember seeing a post earlier from a user that also had issues with it.
