phone.apk

Hi

Anybody can make out a little better phone.apk. Now when an incoming call ugly black box covers half of photo caller ID. I did it two years ago, but now I just can not do that. There just need to parse the file to replace in one place "black" to "transparent" and reassemble the file. That would be like in the screenshot. Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Have you tried this
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] mit02:

If you mean the kernel profiles included in the the ROM's kernel than yes I update them at every release.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
What about graphic driver bug?

Am I the only one having reboots when playing some games, or did i just missed the info :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] David_cole:
I still don't see any smoothness or speed increase by using archi optimisations.... Neither do other devs that tried it on there roms... So what are you guys seeing that we aren't?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
I see better battery life with no loss of performance, and this way I have my favorite Kernel included in my favorite ROM... it's win win for me
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] David_cole:
Archis flags will not increase battery mate... If you read his comments he even says himself battery will be slightly (nothing to worry about tho) less... It also uses more memory.. For no/small gain. His flags are supposed to increase performance by up to 6x yet I have never seen anybody including yourself say that they have noticed that it is much (6x) smoother or faster... All comments I've saw refer to performance being the same or "no loss of performance" so do we agree that he's talking out of his hat with his claims? Lol.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
I can't really say for sure but I do know that this ROM is definitely snappier and smoother than all the others I've flashed and I've pretty much flashed them all. I however haven't ran any of the latest official Slim builds to be able to compare this one to that one.

I've also flashed this same kernel with those other Roms as well so I don't think it's just the kernel. And I set all the Roms up the same way.

Hard to say really.... Guess all I can say is that I really love how SlimSaberKat behaves.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Can you please stop this discussion here.

If you don't like the ROM than please do yourself (and me) a favor stop using it.

And even better build you're own ROM and show us all wrong :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Even if I'm not concerned, I'd just like to calm down things : I don't think he's saying that he doesn't like the ROM, he says (I think) that I'd like to know a bit more about what's better that the official Slim ROM, apart kernel of course. But maybe I understood thinks the bad way myself.

Anyone knows a bit more about graphic driver bug ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] David_cole:
Wtf are you going on about now? Lol, I didn't say I didn't like this rom I've used it more than most other roms, I asked a genuine question if anybody ever has seen the performance increase that archi suggested. Tbh I don't like how you just spoke to me. Please reframe from using such attitude towards me in future.... Thank you.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I'm not a gamer, but the screen flicker I was having with the previous build are gone with today's release.

Not in the Slim changelog but a lot of video (and audio) drivers are updated in this release.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Humm...

It's not the screen flicker I'm talking about : this looks ok for me too.

When I'm playing some full screen games (like candy crush or so) sometimes the phone just hang then reboot.

I guess it's the new drivers fault.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
That can be caused by a lot of things, CPU temp, kernel settings, out off memory just to name a few.

[MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION]: Perfect timing with the new build as I was going to make a full wipe anyways due to my googe play services issues - just flashed the new release and now I have to set it up whilst watching germany vs. portugal :D

Edit: This was the first flash in months where it didn't say Exchance service was stopped at setup :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] pitastrudl:
im not sure what screen flickering are you guys talking about, i played about 45 mins of asphalt 8 two days ago and 30 mins more today.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ParkerParker:
Latest build running awesome !! Went on a flashing binge this weekend and (for me ) all the ROMs I tried I kept comparing to this one ..I can honestly say that slimSaber is one of the cleanest /fastest /most stable ROMs out there . All of us have flashed many roms and I'm willing to bet that we can all agree that this is one of the best . As far as the comment made about this ROM being actually 6x faster I can't give actually proof that it is , I do know that I've tried many ROMs with the same set up every time (ROM/gapps/kernel / superSU , restore apps w/tbu / restore nova ), and to me it is faster ,scrolling home screens , opening apps , using pie / nav ring targets ..I guess to summarize its one very seamless ROM ..everything just flows
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I'm already testing the next build. So expect something later this week.

I'm late to this thread, so it may have been addressed. (I'm still catching up after a loong weekend. :laugh:)

But you're going to hate this - I had the recent issue - up UNTIL I flashed 5.8 last week some time. Recents now works 100% for me. And I didn't do ANYTHING different than any other flash. I can't reproduce it now, at all. I'll try the recent build posted shortly..

Well then, I'm curious to see what happens when I upgrade. :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:
In a weird way my zooper and some other rare fc's seem to have gone after flashing today's version. No freezes either.

And I was about to go for a clean install.. I love when that happens :P

Cheers for the build once again!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
Just finished setting up the rom. Shame on me that I didn't noticed it till today :(

I have a few questions and a lil bug report.

So, questions: do u use xposed? If u don't, do u guys use art or dalvik? Which is the default kernel profile after 1st flashing the rom?

And the bug: snap camera gives continuous FC if navigation bar is on.

Thanks, [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION], for your work!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
DPI (Dots Per Inch) has absolutley nothing to do with screens or pixels.

It is, in fact, the amount of dots of ink per inch of paper that an inkjet printer puts down.

PPI ( Pixels Per Inch) is what we use when talking about a screen resolution or a digital image file.

And, yes, you're correct DIP is completely different again! lol

DPI is pretty much used for screen res these days even though it's not strictly correct :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
I know nothing :( thanks for clearing up.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I had the closed Xposed poll removed yesterday but it showed that about 2/3 of the ROM users use Xposed, and the ones that tried almost all reported that there was no noticeable performance difference compared to dalvik.

The kernel by default uses the, surprise surprise, default profile.

The SlimSaberKat profiles are based on my preferred settings and since a lot of users use them ,or use them as starting point to set there own, I decided to included them. But every user uses there phone different so I want to be clear that they are not recommended settings, just my preferred settings.

I have also seen snap camera issue reports on the original SlimKat thread, it looks like snap isn't 100% compatible with Android 4.4.3.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
I only know because I work for a design and printing company. I thought the same as you before I learnt the truth :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I don't think there is anything in there we can use for SlimSaberKat.

The Kitchen is a tool to unpack a stock ROM so you can ad or remove parts and repack as a flash able zip.

Also the other tools are aimed at converting a stock ROM and won't add anything not already in this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
I've read in some topic that art is more battery friendly. That is why I 'm asking. And that xposed slows down the system a lil bit.

Anyways, is there any chance to include hover from PA into your rom?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:
Two freezes today.. didn't manage to catch a log, will have it running for the whole day from now on.

Off topic..

Spoiler content hidden.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Hover is being worked on by the Slim team.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Those ~10 second freezes?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
Good deal! Team Asylum's Slim has DPI on the fly + Lock Screen Notifications.... Any news on that maybe making its way over to your Slim or the Official Slim?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:
Yes. 6~7 secs, had 2 today.

I'll make a full clean installation after the next weekly. System is stable as a rock and really really smooth, i'm really tired of this "bug" tho so i'm gonna search it to the bone this time, it's been like 3 months already.

Gotta say I switched over to FART just to see how it was on this ROM and it flies even more now.... Wouldn't have thought it possible.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I had a sort off similar unbelievable experience.

Flashed a new build earlier today and it booted so fast I couldn't believe it. So I just rebooted again and the moment the SIM PIN was asked for I entered it and immediately the home screen was loaded and the phone was ready to go :confused:

I have no idea what/why this is happening but I hope it stays like this :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
New build is available for download

changes:

Add Dialpad key padding

Change density on the fly

EDIT: Your screen density will be reset to Slim's default 370 DPI after flashing this ROM, only now it's a 5 second job to set it to whatever you want.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Do you mean that boot was so fast with Art enabled? Sorry, but my english sometimes isn't good enough to understand your word games :)

GT-I9505 | SlimKat 4.4.3 UNOFFICIAL build 5.x by kantjer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
No I'm still on dalvik, but somehow my boot is much faster (or better the time between boot and system ready is gone).

I have a lot of Xposed modules running and it used to take about 30 seconds after entering the SIM PIN before everything was loaded and ready to go, that load period is gone.

I don't see anything in the commits to explain it.

It happened after flashing the version I just released, so I'm eager to hear if the same thing happens to you guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
I'm not on FB either... Thought I was the only one lol

Anyways your latest one does seem to boot up and be ready to go faster than before for me too and I am on ART.

Very nice having DPI on the fly and the number padding on dialer is also a nice touch.

Much appreciated !!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ParkerParker:
I can see difference.. Phone takes 30 seconds to boot and dashclock and xposed modules boot up instantly ..I have zero delay now where as before I probably had around 10 seconds ..this ROM just keeps getting faster ..honestly I didn't even think that was possible ..
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
The new build indeed seems to boot a bit faster.

I have a question [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION]: Would it be possible to include a profile manager into the ROM, like CM11 has one? That's almost THE feature I love CM for, being able to switch from home profile with Wifi and so on to outdoor in a second :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
I hope I'm not pointing out the obvious, but did you flash supersu? the one that comes built in in slim doesn't work as well as 1.94 (although i notice chainfire recently released. 1.97 ;))
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
[MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION]

You are still familiar with the recents bug, right? It still happens for me. Can you please check to see if it still happens on your end, as well? (remember, exit app by pressing home button, not back button)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
What is the bug? I haven't noticed anything yet.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Zoot Allures:
Hi,

Erm... no. I did not. Even if I'm a user with all CF juju since a while (paid all of them), built in SlimKat SU seemed to do the work fine except maybe for this problem. I'll give it a try.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Under specific circumstances it can happen an app doesn't shows up in the recents list the first time you open the list after closing that app.

That bug is still there and has been for a while.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Give it a try, I always used superSU and never had any issues with SD access
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
it's still there.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Well, Chainfire released 1.99 already (for recovery flash) to fix some errors introduced in 1.97 ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Can you try to unzip and copy the attached file to system/bin and see if that solves it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] __NBH__:
I will give it a go. I wonder if its because I'm using ktweaker to convert the zip to F2FS and something is getting messed up, but everything else seems to work completely fine.

So I just unzip the ROM, add the file then zip it again and flash?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
yes, that should do the trick.

It's the mount.exfat from the original SlimKat ROM. I want to rule an issue due the compiler or build optimization used.

Funny thing is that some user on the SlimSaber ROM for the S2 are reporting similar issues while for others it's working on that ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Funny, but. Say, for example, I'm in an app in which I dived deep (back button takes you to previous screen, not app). I could exit the app by simply pressing the home button once... or by pressing the back button for 6 times (since I was deep within the app, you see). Not exactly convenient, huh? :)

----------

I enabled nav bar and used both (software home / recents button and hardware home button) to check if it is hardware buttons specific. It is not. I mean it does not matter if I exit the app through hardware or software home button.

But I discovered an even weirder oddity.

-Open apps A, B, C, D. Press software home button. Press software recents button. Apps A, B, C, D are there.

-Open app E, F, G, H. Press hardware home button. Long press hardware home button. Apps A, B, C, D are not in the list! Only apps E, F, G, H were present! On the second attempt, all apps (A-H) were there.

Like... A different recent apps was created for when the recent apps was accessed through hardware or software buttons! Weird as a flying f***, I know!

But... I was unable to reproduce the bug on a second try... and I fear I may not have the time to do it until after 2 weeks. I really need to study for exams this time around. No skipping allowed! :D

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:
I laughed hard!

Btw you should use more the software buttons mate, especially slim pie is really practical! Plus the recent bug isn't there (I think..).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
It must be again related to something i dont use as i am never able to replicate the recents bug
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yep same for me (thank God!) recents always works fine for me - although I would happily swap the recents problem for the ongoing freezes I get, although i haven't had any for a little while :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
[MENTION=4252248]_Sofos_[/MENTION] [MENTION=3855065]s3icc0[/MENTION]

I don't want to trade screen real estate in favor of software buttons. Not when I know I have hardware buttons which would be rendered useless, for crying out loud! :silly:

That is merely just a workaround. Not a fix...

I will try to speak to the person who made SlimRecents (AFAIK, it is Kufi) and see what can be done.

[MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION], check your PM mate.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] David_cole:

I don't get the freezes everybody talks about either

With the new DPI feature, App Settings xPosed Module doesn't seem to be working any more.. :(

Can anyone else confirm please?

Edit: Not a chance to get On/Off button i guess since it's probably hardcoded inside framework?

I see you already posted in the official thread. Thats the only thing you can do, hoping the Slim team is going to add a bypass for those who want to use Xposed for that.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
It also reset input method to default on my side (Swype vs Aosp).

But generally all dpi change on the fly method I've seen until now had been abandoned due to a lot of unexpected stuffs (you can easily guess there is many to handle).

Conclusion was shiny feature but doesn't worth the hassle.

I have no doubt SlimTeam will implement it the better way but I'm not sure any Dev team will count with Xposed compatibility.
