Unless you know 100% that the settings.apk has not changed between your current ROM, and the ROM you are about to flash, backing up settings.apk via TB then restoring app+data is an almost guaranteed way to FC yourself.

Check before you restore!

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
WiFi networks backup and restore can be done using TB using "backup data to xml"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Yes, it took a few attempts but, during the process I learned a lot about fixing merge errors and reading error messages during the build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KaszasM:
i dont know how to make the quit hours but i know that my Gapps are working for the wifi networks to backup/restostores to/from my account

and i used these earlier https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.farproc.wifipassword dosent makes backup but i simple made a screenshot ,

but https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.backupyourmobile that 1 worked nice for everything /settings/lights adj,wifi keys./maybe quiet hours also

i had almost always issues with TB but BYM works fine ... would link my gapps but its a mix from slim-banks-black-apps and im new here dont know if its allowed to link something like my frankenstein gapps,without permition :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fusionjack:
well, it depends how the settings (preference keys) are changed. for the new features that are coming, this is not a problem. the code is trying to find out the preference key in the xml, if the key is not there, it'll use default value which is defined in the code. this also applies if you never touch a specific feature, you won't find the key in the xml.

what is really problematic is when the preference type is changed: int <-> boolean. for example from (1 or 0) to (true or false). if the new settings.apk has this kind of changes, you'll surely get FC. this is also the reason why you need to do a full wipe if you are coming from other rom that has the same setting but it could use different preference type which leads to FC. this is not always the case, but it could be.

other case is when the preference key name is changed. this is also not a problem, your xml just still has the old preference key which is now redundant that could summed up in time. if this kind of changes happen a lot, it could effect the rom performance because there are some places in codes to search for a specific key in a big key list. if the code is bad coded, there'd be too many redundant 'searching'. this is also why you need to do a full wipe after some times...

yeah, resolving conflict needs practice. :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KaszasM:
just because its never enough :D :fingers-crossed:

maybe, do you wont something to learn about the off-charging too ? or its better if we start to insult [MENTION=4899086]alucard_24[/MENTION] :cowboy:

Did you greenify Google Services?

Won't that disable push stuff, like WhatsApp?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
it probably will ... someone has to try ... will you? :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
It's in the op ;)

---------- Post added at 06:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:14 AM ----------

I greenify gsf, don't use what's app though - do get all my message notifications etc though. There is an option to allow push notifications in the experimental features in the donate greenify.

Thanks, I will collect all save to remove apps and make a master debload script so we can enable or disable the apps we want to remove in there.

Apps to remove

Hi all,

hope [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] agree to use this thread for now - maybe later creating separate thread for this.

I took a time to list all apps from SlimKAT and Slim GAPPS (AIO - bigger package). And put them into table. I just did the basic first step and I will do more, but also you as users with experiences could help.

In this first version is only the list of app with some marked safe to be removed. I will be adding more when I will have time - need to do some work so they will not fire me :)

What needs to be done:

- add description for all apps - I will be able to do for at least 50-80% (never say 100+%)

- confirm possibility to remove for all apps

- add impact of removal of the apps to the clean system installation/features/functions

- add impact of removal of the apps on 3rd party apps and services

If someone knows something more just fill it into the table and send it back to me via PM - I will keep it updated. Please mark any changes you will do using YELLOW FIELD color - so the traceability will be easier for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
Yes I do and no it won't.. I use WhatsApp with no problems. I use greenify pro tho, not sure if the same for the free version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
Not the same, one of the features of pro is to allow GCM push even when hibernated
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
Correct

You can disable Google Services without losing GCM notifications and without using Greenify Pro by following this guide :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
Or just convert the chosen app to a user app.

Apps to remove v0.15

Hi all,

[MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] agreed (by liking my previous post) to use this thread for now - maybe later creating separate thread for this.

I took a time to list all apps from SlimKAT and Slim GAPPS (AIO - bigger package). And put them into table. I just did the basic first step and I will do more, but also you as users with experiences could help.

v0.15 is out

If someone knows something more just fill it into the table and send it back to me via PM - I will keep it updated. Please mark any changes you will do using YELLOW FIELD color - so the traceability will be easier for me.

thanks to those who contributed!

The oneplus one bionic patch works on this ROM. The dalvik one will also work if you use the original insalld with it. It Improves benches quite a bit. (Slims own patches are months old and based off the moto x which isn't half as quick as the one plus one) just thought I'd share that, as its what I'm using.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] __NBH__:
Here are my latest results on the latest build with a little undervolting and touch boost reduced to 810Mhz.

I use Greenify but only the free version, location by mobile network, sync on all the time, a mixture of wifi and 3G networks, screen brightness auto, Viper FX for Poweramp and Xposed framework.

Looking forward to the next version, keep up the good work.

Make a back up first and only bionic patches will work "out the box" dalvik patches require the original installd pulled from this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Nice result :good:

Alrerady testing the next build ;). Seeing the large number of Xposed user I will include the backup and restore script for the Xposed binaries in the next build.

Xposed users won't have to install them after an upgrade an reboot again. Xposed and all modules will be working after first boot. There is no negative side effect for non Xposed users.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Ok, I made some small updates according to my knowledge, note that I use MINIMAL GAPPS.

And always make a nandroid backup before you start removing things :)

---------- Post added at 09:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

So basically only the bionic patch will work. Dalvik won't?

Hi @ All,

i just installed newest version SlimSaberKat-jflte-4.4.4-20140806 and it works without bigger problems. Only one thing was getting me in trouble. I could not get BetterBatteryStas installed as System App.

The installation failed every time i tried it. Trying to move the apk from user-app to system-app doent work either. It must be a

permission problem

! The solution for me was to move the BBS with an App called "Apps2ROM".

[MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION]

could you please implement the feature like marked in the Screenshot ? Its a screenie from my GT-N7000 with SlimSaber by fusionjack.

Maybe this link is helpfull for you :)

1. Add all zips I want to flash to ZipInstaller.

2. Reboot to recovery and flash

3. Reboot and put my phone to fridge

4. After all apps beeing optimized put my phone out of fridge and reboot again. This is needed for me, because after only one reboot my wallpaper is set to slim's default and sometimes get systeui fc. After second reboot it is all fine :)

ty for quick answer, this is a very clear one :) i flashed some psp2000s and i9000 and tf101 thousand times but im kinda new to that i9505 flashing. there are so many roms i can't even pick one. is this mod solid for daily use and everything works (minus touchwiz/scamsung stuff), i think about IR remote, BT, photo/video software that doesnt crash if you select the wrong option, zero call delay.. is this one ok for that?

I just it earlier this week for the first time when my phone was in intensive care and it worked perfect. Including charge animation.

Everything works good apart from Bluetooth stutter whilst listening to music for more than 20 - 40 mins when screen off.

I'm still working on a tasker workaround to keep cortex brain in kernel kicking in (tried disabling it but apparently it doesn't die easy lol) and hopefully this should cure the stutter.

Will post here when I've worked it out and make a tasker app factory app that anyone can use.

Other than that I have been using this as daily driver well, since kantjer first built and gave me first beta builds to test :D

BTW - if Bluetooth is really important to you you could always dual boot this and dandvh ge with googymax3 which works flawlessly for Bluetooth ;) links in my signature :good:

something is really wrong here get only stuckt at samsung logo or bootloop with stock kernel and off. slimkat ,but i flash ktoonsez or/and alucard kernel and it works. ext4andf2fs the same . btw still no off charge the only diffrence is that with official slim i see the charge animation/but dosent"moves"/ than turns the screen out ,with alu or ktoon kernell still stuckt by the "big"battery and that spinner , if there are no suggestions i make a full wipe i think if still the same than i go back to stock firmware and start the hole again

[MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] charging when the phone is off doesn`t work for me either :(

I am on XXUGNG4 bootloader and modem for a month. Previously i was on XXUGNF1, and it still did not work...

Tried also kt kernel, and same result: charging when power off doesn`t work...

I heard that it was fixed in stock CM kernel, but i did not tested it yet, as i am busy redecorating my apartment, and i only have a few minutes free in the evening to check for SSK updates :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] __NBH__:
I think there is something strange going on with the slim center updates. I have mine disabled in the settings but it came up with the notification there was a new version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Then it must be a bootloader problem! Charging when phone is off is functioning for me on old bootloader!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kaott:
ok xda hi again i just flashed this and tweaked around a bit...first brand new custom rom on that device \o/ yay. i was so tired of douchewizz stuff.

well i got that recovery message on boot screen i guess its what you get when for messing with that knox thing.

i have no problems with charging while turned OFF ,as i read in this thread some people got this issue, its working ok here (came straight from stock 4.3 mkf)

heres my noob question : sorry if its been answered already

how to turn OFF backlight keys (hardware buttons that are located left and right of physical home button) while i am using the screen? both lights turn ON when i use the screen, it is very disturbing. i found the option to turn off backlight buttons. well, now they do not light even when i use them, this is not better :) is there any way to have hardware buttons lit ,but only if you touch them, and not when you touch the screen ??

while playing with the options (trying to find a workaround for the backlight button thing) i think there's something wrong with navbar : when height is under 36, the navbar thing is often unresponsive. it is displayed onscreen but doesnt react at all. at 24 it wont react even once.but it works ok with bigger sizes. a little bug there, not that important.

btw the tweak app has the most parameters available i ever saw in any kernel app! thats huge ! i'll do more tests but first impression is very good ! phone reacts 3x faster than stock 4.3. everything is fast and it has all the bells and whistles in it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
like KaszasM and kofe, i have the same trouble.

charging when the phone is off doesn`t work for me either.

I see the battery but i have a freeze... the circle don't move. i have to take off battery, reboot, and charge when the phone is on...

I'am on NC4 bootloader, et your last build 20140806.

strange...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] HaTrED_:
Don't you even see the animation, a battery with a green indicator growing? It appears after first screen animation, which is static, you have to wait a couple of seconds!

After that, screen goes off but charging continues as expected... Also, the led is always on!

Is there any boot manager for art? I would like to control which apps have granted permissions to execute during startup process.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Regardless of the setting SlimCenter wil always do an update check after booting the phone.

If you want to stop the notification completely disable "Show notification" for SlimCenter in Manage apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Unfortunately utter only support English.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
According to the developer, the quiet hours settings are included in the backup.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Oh yes, sorry, I am stereotypical English bloke and presume in my national ignorance that the whole world surely speaks English lol :p

And if you don't understand then I just speak more SLOWLY and LOUDER until you do hahaha

In that case commandr with tasker is very good and I guess if Google voice search works in your language then it will work fine ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Speaking English isn't the problem, making the app understand the accent sometimes is.

And it looks silly if you start speaking English to your phone in public places :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I'm using AutoVoice in combination with Tasker, that works perfect in Dutch.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gerxp:
There is some inconsistancy in my opinion:

When there is, for example a missed phone call, I mostly clear the notification by pulling down the notification and click the clear button or just read it.

This will clear it in the notification area.

But:

When my phone falls asleep and I wake it, then I can still see the missed phone call notification on the lock screen.

This counts for some other type of notifications as well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
the animation freeze.

i see the battery, with a circle but no animation in the circle, and no green indicator growing.

don't worry, i just made a test to see if i encounter the same trouble.

i can wait 2 minutes, it's the same thing...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
The ROM doesn't have lock screen notifications :confused:

Are you using an app for that, in that case it's the app not the ROM causing this.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gerxp:
If you pull down the clock on lockscreen there is a configuration button topright.

In there I can enable/disable what I like to see on my lockscreen.

These: Weather, Gmail, Next Alarm, Text messages, Missed calls, Calendar appointment.

You dont have that?
