SlimKat already uses there own optimized dalvik version and implemented the boot speed up for multi core devices so my ROM also has them both.

Let me know when you are ready.

You will need a minimum of 100GB disk space for it. I'm finalising the build script so everything like repo sync, build and upload are done by only 1 click.

Had a reboot when trying to watch a video from the gallery. I also get the xda premium app FC randomly when I'm not using it but leave in the recent drawer. Anybody else? Using alucard kernel with kantjer settings.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Just don't go with NVIDIA. I'm just saying.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] davtse:
For the XDA app, try clearing data from settings and re-login(or uninstall and reinstall again). Had it happen to me previously, don't think its related to the kernel.

Hello everyone, I've just installed and for the first time a SlimKat Rom. With this build, I've done a full wipe and flash like always from TWRP Recovery but I don't have Root. I've flashed UpdateSuperSU works for the first time and don't after the reboot. Please need your help and excuse my english. Thank you. BTW I love this ROM but I love Root too :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] malybru:
Hi,

In Settings/Developers options/root access , did you enable "Apps and ADB" ?

:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Funny. The "Complete action using -> Media Storage" from under Settings - Sound detects the folder 'Ringtones', even if it's in /sdcard/folder1/folder2/thisiscrapdontlookinhere/xzy/Ringtones rofl. But, of course, it doesn't stick after a reboot. Looks like it searches for any folder called 'Ringtones" or 'Alarms' in the sdcards, wherever they may be...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
[MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION], about mysettings script. I noticed that apps are removed only when you flash only rom zip. If you flash rom+gapps, some apps remain untouched (mostly the ones flashed from gapps, like Hangouts or Music).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Because the Gapps package doesn't want to wipe /system, so the scripts aren't used. Only the ROM zip wants to do so. So, the script runs when the ROM is flashing, but it doesn't when the Gapps is flashing, so... you see where this is going :p .

What I do is I flash the Gapps package first and then the ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Well, it didn't come to my mind, as far as I remember (when I owned S1, and SlimRom was only an S1 custom rom) it was very important to flash ROM, and then GAPPS... So I do it this way since always :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
If you move custom tones to system/media you need to remove them from your SD or they well show up more then once.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Who knows
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Flash gapps + ROM. Otherwise gapps is installing files the script just removed.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
There was no backup and restore script back then, that's why.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
So it's something like this: flashing rom, script is executed, then flashing gapps? I thought script is executed last.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Its the last part of the ROM flash, gaps comes after that and fishes the apps back.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
After I reflashed the ROM... 'alarms' folder has the default sounds in it. 'notifications' and 'ringtones' folders are empty. There must be something weird going on, either with the script, or I dunno... :confused:

Here's my script. :eek:

-----

Could it be related to the fact that the rm commands for /system/media/alarms have # in front of them and all the others don't?

Cause it looks like, what the script basically did, was it emptied all 3 folders and allowed only the exact files that have the # in front of the rm commands. :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
The # at the start off a line makes the script skip it. That's how you easily can add or remove things. The script is an example never intended to be used without any customizations.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Thought so. But even so, the others rm commands without # were ran, apparently. But the restore never made it... probably the files were restored THEN deleted? :confused: ?!?!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
I am on SlimKat 5.6 Since slip GAPPs are already installed - do I just flash the ROM ?

Also - if I want to go back to SlimKat - just flash it again ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
Read the OP.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Found it in the source code, I will change it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
I did. The post I replied to indicated that there may be some issues with flashing and that is what I was asking about. I did not see it addressed the second question either.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
The answer to both questions is yes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:
If anyone wants to try the zip way instead of the script way here is :

* a clean flashing zip.

Open or extract it and put your sound files into the folders you want to (ringtones/alarms/notifications/ui), once you're done, flash it through recovery. You have to flash it tho every time you're flashing a new Rom. Either dirty or clean.

* my selection of sounds.

This is a collection of some original S4 sounds, some stuff I've downloaded from zedge etc. Simply flash it through recovery. I'll create a stock sound zip if you want to get back.

On topic now, third day freeze free. :P

Edit: Alucard just released a new version of his kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Yep - working a treat now, but not with latest alucard 2.2.7l - I think alucard must have changed something that conflicts with the patcher app again, but latest ssk patching fine :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ahoslc:
Damn this is fast what would it take to compile the Liquid Smooth Rom the same way?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
Thanks - already did question one, but then no boot-up on multiboot (duelboot app issue). Repatched and working good. FYI - the stock kernel is as quick as KT at 2106 OC. Will be watching battery life overnight in sleep mode.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
does this version of Slim have the ability to turn off the hardware key lights?

Also I notice on the Official Slim ROM that expanded desktop mode is broken and cuts off a lot more than the status bar only, is it the same in this build?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ParkerParker:
Yes my hw lights are off and expanded desktop works perfect
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
Thanks mate :)

Do you use XDA app? Because on official SLim ROM when in expanded desktop mode it cut off a lot of the tabs on the top.

Also how did you turn HW lights off? Sorry for all the questions!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ParkerParker:
I use Tapatalk, xda has always been super buggy for me(^_-)

Settings, navigation, hw buttons, backlight, Disabled :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] lost_:
For a while I was doing the same exact thing with very similar flash zip, but more recently I went with the nuclear option :).

To keep the ringtone list consistent from one flash to the next (including from one ROM to another), I delete /system/media/audio and let Media Scan pick them up from my sdcard instead:

1) Save ringtones to /sdcard/media : alarms, notifications, ringtone, ui

2) Flash/update ROM (and GAPPS, kernel, etc)

3) If clean flashing a ROM, boot once, then reboot back to recovery. If dirty flashing, skip this step

4) Flash updater-script to delete /system/media/audio

5) If clean flashing, flash other custom settings (reinstall priv-apps, gps.conf, wallpaper, etc)

6) Reboot

7) Go to settings - sounds, set ring tones (not needed in dirty flash)

run_program("/sbin/mount", "/system");
delete_recursive("/system/media/audio");
run_program("/sbin/unmount", "/system");

LOL - I came here to ask the same and you beat me to it. Slim is more problem free, while Liquid is more feature rich but could have FCs here and there. Somewhere in between there is Carbon (but SlimRecents not yet merged from its Gerrit).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
It's in /settings/navigation /HW keys - and there you will find the option to turn hw key lights off ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] latino147:
that's interesting, that would be easier than having to manually set all permissions on the ringtones you want to keep.

Besides, if you would switch to another rom that uses other ringtones that are NOT in your deletescript, they still get deleted? :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Done

I also lowered the debug level, less overhead.

Kantjer, that is the generic gps.conf and not the JFLTE-specific one that gets packaged in the build.

I am not able to get SuperSU binary to update on this 5.6. Not 100% sure I updated it on SlimKat 5.6 before I tried this, but know it worked on all previous SlimKat versions.

I had flashed over SlimKat per the OP, then wiped system and flashed again (along with GAAPs), but it did not help.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I will do it later. Alucard is planning a new build later today.

Just flash latest SuperSU in recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
The test ROM compiled with the new (V3) optimazations has been downloaded over 50 times. I haven't received a single bug report.

I have pushed all commits needed for the V3 build to my repo and the V2 builds are history.

New builds will be compiled with V3 optimizations. I'm doing what I hope and suspect to be my last clean 4.4.2 based build. Slim team is working hard to give us 4.4.3.

Lets see what the next weekly is going to bring :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
There were some bugs with the last couple SuperSu getting stuck in that binary update loop.

I've just been using SuperSu v1.94 myself and it's not once done that to me... Where as the very latest one still did for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
Unfortunately I can't do that. I am using this as a MultiSlot ROM, and tried to patch it with multirom patcher with no success. If I just flash it in recovery, it is applied to my primary ROM unless it is first patched. Also cannot change DPI with texdroider_dpi, as it needs SuperSU permission along with some other apps.

Just reflashed kitkat 5.6 and it updated OK, as well as changing the DPI. I will try this again down the road after I get the SuperSU figured out.

Update - patched it on pc and flashed it on SlimKAT multiboot OK. I then reflashed this ROM, and also flashed SuperSU patched zip OK. However, it is still wanting to update binary which it cannot do.

Going to stay on this ROM again for awhile, as everything else seems to be ok.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ParkerParker:
I have not had a single issue, not one, in fact this rom is one of the best AOSP roms that I have ever flashed in regards to speed and fluidity!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gaww:
Just spotted this reply. Latest SuperSU did not loop on SlimKat, but does here. I think I have a patched multislot 1.94 zip - will give it a try

Update - tried to flash it, indicated OK, but then I had no SU installed after booting up. Then a funny think happened. Went to play store, installed, updated binary - and it took I had tried to use Play Store earlier and it did not work - go figure.

Anybody using a QI charger with this ROM and Alucard?

I just received my unit, and I have difficulties loading. Sometimes it just won't load, or it will start loading and suddenly stop after a while.

And when you pick it up and place it back it never starts loading again. :confused:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
You reject the call, of course. Or rely on a cable for such scenarios.

Well, I'm still a cable lover. Probably cause I can't afford a Qi charging station and battery cap :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] __NBH__:
Wireless charging is cool but until it can still charge my phone within a few metres like Bluetooth range I don't think I will bother, if I have to put it on a pad I may as well plug it in, at least I can move the phone around a bit and it still charges.

Regarding the builds, I found the 5.6 unofficial build to have better battery life than the test build, but we are nearly at 5.8 so it's all good for now I will wait to test the new ones next week. Keep up the good work Kantjer.

Plus, microUSB is very fragile. We need a new connector that once it goes in, it doesn't wobble around or gets out as easily as the current plugs.

Simply slap your phone on a pad and be done with it. Awesome. But expensive :(. I'm waiting for magnetic resonance to become mainstream. Hope we don't have to wait until next century for that...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] brizey:
I used to think that, too. Now I have a pad on the kitchen counter, my nightstand, my bathroom counter and at my desk at work, lol.

Also...the cable is right there plugged into the charging pad. I sometimes use it if I want to charge up fast.

Oh, it worked fine when I tried this ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:

There is the original one, MPJ and Zerolemon. I was about to choose the zerolemon but none ships here sadly..

Freeze free day 4, it feels weird..

I have nothing to use logcat for!

Can't imagine how much better can this Rom get with 4.4.3 btw. I don't really think there is any space for improvement :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
Thanks for such an awesome, blazing fast and stable ROM man!!

Definitely one my favourites, if not my favourite of all OASP ROMs

However, there is one VERY irritating bug that is a deal breaker for me.

It is not only this ROM but also some other AOSP ROMs have the same bug too (AOSB is one)

Whenever I'm listening to sound, be it through headphone, AUX, phone speaker and also with ANY app, YouTube, Poweramp, Spotify etc

I get a weird interference noise happening at random, it sounds like when you recieve a text message and your listening to your home stereo, but it's short and sharp. a weird buzz sort of noise, it's quite loud and totally inturupts music or movies.

It happens on Ktoonzes Kernel and Allucards Kernels so I can only think it's a problem in CM and as most ROMs are built off that it follows through.

It happened to me 3 times this morning in half an hour of listening to music.

Could you look into it please?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oildale:
I was having this problem to a ridiculous degree with LiquidSmooth/KToonsez. From what I could see, at least for me with PowerAmp and in KTweaker having the music and screen off MHz minimum set to ~900 was that the culprit was a change in CPU speed predominantly when I would turn the screen off. Every single time I turned the screen off it would take about 10 seconds then a nasty skip. I would then get random skips afterwards. It was what made me ditch LS and try out SaberKat. Thankfully I only get the minutest skip shortly after turning the screen off so I can deal with it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:

These freezes you guys talk about... Aren't they from Alucard?, and not Slim or Kantjer... ??

I run KToonsez and never have any of these freeze issues you guys sometimes speak about. Just saying is all...

On another note.. Having theme engine would be cool but between TRDS and having access to themed blacked out apps... I've actually cut the cord from theme engine myself.

Lock screen notifications would be cool, but again not a deal breaker for me. After flashing some other Roms lately I'm back on this one since it's just ridiculous fast and smooth. I've gotten quite used to it.
