The status bar changes for me, put it on 321 DPI and the status bar is definitely smaller.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Hmm... I just performed a clean install and was not greeted by the initial setup? :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] __NBH__:
After changing the DPI and pressing the menu button it didn't show me the menu, in fact the button does nothing until I go into the app drawer then go back to the home screen and press it.

Propably [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] removed some apps from his build... Provision.apk or something ;)

Guys, who have issues with DPI changer: you realise it is unofficial build right? SlimTeam still test this feature, and looking for bugs. [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] didn't developed this feature, he just compiles his build from SLim sources. The best thing to do is to report issues in official Slimkat thread... After released the official build wit DPI changer... ;)

BTW, I don't have issues you mentioned (not changing statusbar dpi, reseting input method), everything works flawlessly :)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
Hmm..gapps installed Formhault? Did a wipe system maybe?

It depends more on gapps SetupWizard.apk than on roms.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
Phone is charging now lol and of course say how I did it.. Not like the guy in KT thread that avoided the question after posting excellent times lol... I used ART, the very latest greenify beta, and alucard ultimate battery settings, with one or two very minor changes (wouldn't of affected the time by much) also turned off auto brightness as its useless lol. BTW WiFi and data were on for the whole time.

I would not call it heavy usage at all but it was used to talk on here (moderate) as well as hangouts (heavy) with maybe a hour of poweramp (light) and chrome (very light)

I had the same thing happen last night messing around with dual booting, everything got a bit messed up so I formatted my sd card today and everything is fine now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] djmik21:
By ultimate battery saving profile you mean the kantjer profiles? Is tjere a chance you could post that here?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] oildale:
I had the same thing happen last night. Along with no initial setup I was greeted with a constant system.ui FC. Had to yank the battery. So I booted into TWRP, wiped system, data, cache, Dalvik, and internal SD a few times just to be sure, reflashed ROM and gapps and everything was normal on reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:

Doesn't the profile johnwba mention have differences with the one in the profile settings thread? Thanks guys.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Forgot to flash Gapps, yeah... Silly me... Nevermind...

I apologize, [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] :D.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I didn't remove any apps from the ROM, the only app removed is SlimIRC. And that one not even by me but Slim team removed it from unofficial builds (a logical step I think)

The google setup at clean install is AFAIK done by GoogleOneTimeInitializer.apk, part of the gapps package.

Since I can't control the gapps versions and packages users install there is little I can do about it.

With regards to the DPI changer like you correctly mentioned that feature isn't officially released so changes can still be made by the team before it's officially implemented. If anyone is having serious issues with it I would suggest to go back to yesterday's release and wait until it's officially implemented and see if the issues are taken care off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
I use alucards ultimate battery settings mate... I haven't even tried the one that comes with the ROM yet lol (Kantjers settings). I'll test that tomoz and post my scores the day after. :p

When trying again I noticed a change. But it doesn't always scale up/down.

Same here. Also I was left with enlarged widgets and now I can't get them small again :p

I guess it's just work in progress,
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Do you guys have windows animations turned off?

Try setting all animations to .25, I found a few apps (like the dialer) not working properly with animations turned off.

I have set them all to .25 and my widgets scale nicely when changing the screen resolution.

BTW: I'm using the gapps.BETA.4.4.3.build.5.9-69, they are running nicely with the latest SSK build.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
If you are using the by Alucard released kernel with it's extreme_battery.profile then you are using the default settings.

There is no difference between the default and the battery and extreme_battery profiles. That's why I used those slots to add my own profiles.

The performance.profile and extreme_performance.profile profiles differ from the default profile.

hi, just flashed today (5.9 slimkat based)then i noticed that my touch screen is not working properly,after getting nothing from wipe dalvic and cache decided to flash back the 20140616 but then my widgets/apps icon become bigger,any suggestions? thanks a lot.btw my touch screen works fine again

windows animation sets to .25 also
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
To all,

If you want to receive a notification when a new ROM is available for download use the "Follow Project" button in the top right corner of the OP.

You will then receive an XDA notification when it's available.

Thanks to [MENTION=329570]malybru[/MENTION] for the tip :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] svd1977:
[MENTION=1169279]@kantjer,first one to comply to follow the project,hope you can address my querry
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Touchscreen is working fine for me on both the 20140616 and 20140617 build.

The DPI change comes due the DPI changer included in the 20140617 build, that resets the DPI.

On the 20140617 build you can use the build in DPI changer to set it, if you went back to 20140616 you will need to do it the old fashioned build.prop way.

Hey, [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION], is there a way to answer an incoming call by pressing the home button? I can't find the option in accesibility menu...

Also, is there any chance that lockscreen notification to make its way into your rom? :)

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
1st question, I have no idea never looked at it.

2nd, sure, Slim team is working on it. I tried to cherry pick it yesterday but the commits wouldn't merge (yet)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] svd1977:
now i can move on.thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
Thanks for your quick response.

That is great news about the lockscreen notification.

As for the answer a call via home button is there a way to bring it from CM?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
I tried the dialpad key padding but see no difference .... maybe I am only looking at wrong place

anyway thanks for 0617 build ... after flash I had the com.android.phone process constant FC, but after restart everything is OK (maybe the problem is connected with the fact I wiped whole /system before)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
Happy to see you've tried lock screen notifications. I've been pestering you about them for a bit now [emoji16]

Did you happen to see how Asylum's Slim merged them in?!

Bear with me as I haven't a clue how to make a ROM so don't think I don't appreciate what you've already done just wondering..

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
Still can't believe the battery life im getting with this setup.

WiFi, Sync and location on plus over an hour of Screen On Time so far today and BBS shows only .5% /Hour loss.

I have noticed on latest build that I've had to keep and eye on the WLan Wakelocks however. But a reboot fixed that right up. And yes I have Always Scanning OFF and NEVER on during Sleep. Just something a little Quirky going on that's all.

Threw this ROM on my girls Sprint S4 along with Slim AIO Gapps using Philz latest and it was somewhat a rough start there.... Upon first boot it took an extremely long time. Then I had a phone/Dialer FC that required a reboot into Philz to wipe caches. Then once it was booted up and setup the phone did a soft reboot.

Now however it seems the Sprint S4 is all good and no longer acting up. She's loving SlimSaberKat.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
I started using some pedometer app so my sensors are still active aand also the GPS is set to full performace (this app is eating daily 30+% of battery), but I am still able to stay online to the very evening ... really curious what battery life I will get without this battery eater ... :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
Yea i'm not sure exactly what's making this ROM fly + have great battery life... Whether it's SaberMod, JustArchi, Alucard... Or most certainly the combination of them all. Either way it's a great setup that I just can't be without now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
It's a combination of all of them.

Good ROM source by the Slim team, excellent kernel, and on top off that the build optimizations by JustArchi that make the ROM faster and even more battery friendly.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
I've actually just noticed a bug of sorts that's been talked about before here i believe...

My Notification and QS Tile drop down flickers a good deal at times. Seems it only does it when I'm checking Notifications from within an app. Not from Home Screen.

I've changed my min GPU to 200mhz but still it persists. I'll keep playing around with GPU settings maybe change to Ondemand vs Simple governor and see what that does.

It doesn't do it all the time which is nice. And probably just to do with the drivers maybe [emoji782][emoji782][emoji782]

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I see no sign off screen flicker at all.

Are you using the stock autobrightness function?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
I didn't have it on your last build. Strange indeed. Tried screen recording it but couldn't catch it as its too fast.

I'm running your undervolted profile BTW.

It seems that the density setting doesnt effect all apps. Google Chrome shows very big text etc. And the status bar doesnt scale. If i open an app, there is some space between the app window and the icons in the status bar. When opening whatsapp this gap is white in the chat overview.

Tried to reboot but nothing changed. Edit: ok, the gap disappear, but chrome stays big ;)

So manually setting the density worked better for me. But it seems that this isn't possible anymore, isnt it? If i set the density with textdroider_dpi app, it stays at 480 after reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
Just change it in build.prop, reboot and off you go :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tzyn:
Hm, that's what textdroider should do. Used it many times (every time after updating the ROM). I dont know why this didnt worked this time. Tried it twice. But I changed it in the build.prop and everything is fine now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] ph3n0mII:
Hmmm..so I just dirty flashed this over official 5.9.

Its hard to believe how much this rom flies, i was already impressed at official 5.9's performance but this is just extra-wow!

I tested everything i can think of for now.

LCD density changer works great (except for the already known 'status bar not changing until reboot' bug) and no density/text scaling problems in any app for me.

Bluetooth toggle bug is gone:good:

Only thing I can poke at is I haven't been able to get ES file explorer to mount /system as rw on any slimsaberkat builds yet, but I don't care because I only use it anymore and so ez to flash supersu if I really needed.

Thanks for your lovely builds [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION], keep em comin' :cowboy::D:cool:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mistertac:
The battery life is just great... And the ROM flies with no issues at all on my end.

That screen flickering I had earlier hasn't returned at all either and that was the only minor bug i've had on this ROM and have been using it pretty much since the beginning.

Afteri get done playing some music I turn off BT and then I no longer have Notification Sounds. I do have my ringtone.

BTW: DPI set at 400
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] latino147:
Doesn't seem to work. Do you have to enable that shortcut somewhere?

No shortcut needed,volume - & power pressed and hold simultaneously on aosp s4 builds (home & power on Touchwiz).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
There is not much I can do about it. We need to wait for the feature is officially implemented and see if all issues are solved.

The strange thing is I haven't seen any issues at all.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
We all have magical phones lol,it still reset input method to default on my side but it seems i'm alone.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] latino147:
For some reason it doesn't work. I probably have some configuration settings blocking it's workings.

I tried keeping both buttons pressed and the phone rebooted after 7s ;)

Anyway, I changed the density to 400 and the anomalies were gone. Went back to 370, the anomalies were gone.

I used to use textdroid before, have installed it since using this newest rom-version.

Reboot: anomalies were back. Set density to 370 again and they were gone.

So I checked the build.prop to see if another value was stored in there but nope, it's 370.

Anyway, I'll survive until the official version gets released :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
You're not alone, I needed to set my input method back to Swiftkey after changing the DPI also.

The good news is, I have since then flashed a new ROM and kernel, rebooted a few times and both the DPI setting and input method survived all that.

I haven't changed the DPI settings in the build.prop.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kofe:
Why don't u enable the screenshot option in the power menu? It's the easiest way to take a screenshot ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
Actually (I'm not saying it's the problem or whatever) we have now 2 density value on build.prop.

The usual ro.sf.lcd_density= which is now set to 480 S4 default and is now unused at first + at the end of build.prop file a persist.sys.lcd_density=370 line which is Slim default active at first boot if no data.

erm..noticed this when i launched this app:View attachment 2806549

But we have now a third value,the one stored and used by on the fly dpi changes which is under a new /data/property/persist.sys.lcd_density file.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
Xposed and ART are not compatible, so it just reboots with Dalvik again.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] __NBH__:
I never move anything to external SD anymore after my card got corrupted and I lost access to all my apps I had transferred. I was away from home and had poor signal so couldn't download them all again which rendered my phone almost useless. It's much safer just to leave them on internal storage unless you are really out of space.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Well that's why then, xposed doesn't run on ART (yet ;)) and automatically detects what run time you are using and switches back to dalvik if ART is detected to save from boot loops.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] __NBH__:
Yes you have to open xposed and uninstall the framework then pick art as the runtime and reboot.
