No, I haven't tried... They're supposed to be in /media/audio/ringtones (or alarms etc.). Either on the external SD, either on the internal one. Funny, everything worked just fine until about 3 flashes ago, I think. :(

This is what things look like after a reboot.

The sound files I'm using are mostly Android stock (+ a few from Samsung TW, for example), but since most of them were taken out from the ROM, I must re-add them somehow :silly:.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
I have these 3 folders:

/sdcard/ringtones/

/sdcard/alarms/

/sdcard/notifications/

and never had a single problem, and I think these are created by the rom ... i never use the /sdcard/media/.... as it was causing problems
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Ring and notifications on external SD never worked for me. Often the external SD is mounted to late for the phone to recognize the custom tones at boot and resets them to something default..

I have my custom tones on the int. SD in "Ringtones" and "Notifications" placed in the SD root. Not as it's supposed to be but it works.

Try that before going the script route.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] :
Hi there,

Fell like I'm trying to go from official Slim to your's :D

Can you explain why you use "force gpu rendering" ?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
It feels smoother.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] John_wba:
It makes scrolling thru menu's and other stuff smoother. It also increases 2d performance in benchmarks, if that kind of thing interests you :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] s3icc0:
3D things (games, etc) are always rendered directly by graphical chip

2D things (text, menus, etc) are rendered by CPU

by using "force gpu rendering" you will force GPU to take care of the 2D stuff - it means there will be more CPU power left for arithmetic operations
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:
Btw. do we have the latest gpu drivers included?

GT-I9505 | SlimKat 4.4.2 UNOFFICIAL build 5.x by kantjer
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Bejda:
66 yep,latest flo ones.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Public beta

The test build compiled with [MENTION=5161352]JustArchi[/MENTION]'s V3 Optimizations is been tested by a number of users today and no issues are reported.

General feeling is that the ROM is at least as smooth as the V2 compiled ROM, maybe a bit faster but don't expect wonders, V2 was already quite optimized.

Battery life seems to be improved. For everyone that wands to try I'm now releasing this build as public beta.

Please remember it's a beta so it's always possible you can come across an issue.

Apart from the build optimization is build is identical to yesterdays 5.6 version.

*** Download ***

Thanks to all testers :good:

GT-I9505 | SlimKat 4.4.4 jflte 8.9 WEEKLY
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
AFAIK external sd isn't officially supported on latest Android versions, that's probably the reason there are so many issues with it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
No I won't be updating the ROM, I don't have an S4 any more.

So no way to test anything.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] brunodu91:
Try the carbon Rom nightly! It's similar rom with few awesome options supplementary! Cm theme new version........etc
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gorillaCF:
hello, thanks for the above instructions! but just curious, will it work if i just flash the official weekly?

just to check again with all, no issues if i were to dirty flash the official weekly over my current SSK20141014?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Give it a try but it did not work for me, much weirdness going on, even with wiping system. I Igbo there are too many differences in the system for it to be trouble free. Much better clean install :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gorillaCF:
hmm sounds bad. now i'm hesitant to try. haha.

i'm actually not sure of what bole5 has shared, to root the files etc. i tried to copy and paste the extracted files mentioned by ES explorer but permissions was denied. :confused::confused:

can anyone share more specific instructions on copy/pasting files to /system?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vagaBond07:
What other stuff did you guys did on your phones? I've been running SSK20141020 since its release without issue with external memory, one thing I can say though is that I'm missing my habit of Flashing Weekly SSK release. There's too much good stuff that I found in SSK that's missing on the ROMs that was suggested. If only I can persuade [MENTION=3306843]kantjer[/MENTION] to atleast released a ? based. ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bole5:
You got permission denied as /system is normally mounted as read-only. I use adb for that. You need to first copy the mount.exfat and sdcard to a {temp_location} of your choice (ie. /sdcard/tmp or similar) and then:

$ adb shell
$ su
$ mount -o rw,remount /system
$ cp {temp_location}/mount.exfat /system/bin/mount.exfat
$ cp {temp_location}/sdcard /system/bin/sdcard
$ chmod 755 /system/bin/mount.exfat
$ chmod 755 /system/bin/sdcard
$ chown root.shell /system/bin/mount.exfat
$ chown root.shell /system/bin/sdcard
$ mount -o ro,remount /system
$ exit
$ adb reboot

Obviously, you need to replace {temp_location} with the actual location the files were uploaded. I hope this helps...

I just discovered your ROM and find it to be the best and fastest I've tried so far. In your first post you link to removed github repository: /kantjer/SlimSaberKat-android_build

Any chance to post your commits for SlimSaberKat-jflte-4.4.4-20141020 to github so that someone interested could "take it over"?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Gerxp:
SSK 20141020 has the BT/Wfi bug right? Latest SSK without BT/Wifi bug is 20140820 right?

Carbon rom has Wifi/BT bug too right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] triathlete66:
right
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KaszasM:
Yes

Yes

If i remember well yes ,

edit:

06/11 carbon got the bug yes
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] vagaBond07:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] gorillaCF:
thank you very much for the detailed instructions. sadly, i cant install the adb tool (the 15sec installer from xda) on my laptop. sigh. i guess i cant access my ext sd unless i change rom, which is unlikely that i will be doing that.

There are many versions in this rom!

Can anyone please tell me which version of this rom is without any bugs:)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] munichsfinest:
The one from 20th August.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] abdullahxda:
I have a small doubt....

All the roms in s4 having memory size of more than 1GB...

But why this rom is only 175MB:what:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
It's called Slim for a reason... :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
That's the difference between a TW based ROM and AOSP.

I you want to know why TW lag, there is your answer.

does anyone have problems in this rom with the wifi speed download ? i normally download with 2-5mb from different hotspots especially home wifi, after downloading this rom and added the slim gapps

Sorry for little off-topic: How can I detect, whether a selected device is "caf" (Code Aurora Forum) or not caf?

I see a message on SlimRoms.net "Note: Rebuilding as 8.12.1 due to sensor problems on none caf devices", but can't find out, whether my devices are caf.

Especially I'm wondered in I9505, I9100 (SGS2) and mako (Nexus 4).

Sorry for my bad English.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I9505 is caf, i9100 and mako are not
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kondra007:
Could you please explain, where can I find this out ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
look here

Qualcomm devices use the caf branch.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Kondra007:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] savale:
Loving this rom intensively :) thanks! Keep building these beauties please ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
Nope, you missed the boat, this ROM has ceased development due to our loyal dev (kantjer) not owning this device anymore.

Official slim kat (soon to be slim (L)p.....??) is running very nice and obviously still in development ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
i agree and with lastest alucard, it running really fine (but the wifi/BT bug is always here)...

i'am not really sure that cm team will resolve this trouble cause they are working on L release. :(

I'm using the stable one. Build 7.0. And the screen was flickering eventually.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] KaszasM:
my experience with screen flickering :

if i open dropbox small picture /preshow/ flickers, but if i undervolt GPU the lowest value in alucard kernel with 1 step its stops , still some flickers left but not by "low" performance,or jsut watching pictures

on ext4 partition format total commander flickers as hell if i copy data , but its completly /flickerfree/working well if im on f2fs no flickers at all by TC copy or move, but same solution on f2fs for low performance undervolt 1 step gpu voltage ...or dropbox preshown pictures flickering there too

1 more thing im blackedout/trds all over/dropbox too/ where possible maybe that can make a diffrence too with my "flicker"experinence

and im using 08/20 ssk based on 7.4 sk can try its stable as 7.0
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Guys,

I have a couple of OnePlus One 64 GB Sandstone Black invites.

If you are interested in owning this great device send me a PM.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TichDarkener:
I'm actually still quite happy with my S4, waiting to see what lollipop will do to it! ;)

However my gf's phone is pretty broken already, so thinking about an upgrade, giving her my S4, and the OPO 64GB Sandstone Black is definitely high on my radar.

On the other hand I might be able to get a S5 on the cheap via a company contract, so I'm wondering how much the OPO is, in euros, including shipping and stuff?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] m1trand1r:
Wait for Galaxy S-6......it's gonna rock the world....so they say....:p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
€ 299 + € 11 Shipping
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I would go for the ONePlus Twelve :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
Have a look at the Five Best Android Phones: 2014 Edition. Do you see the S5 anywhere ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TichDarkener:
Good point, thanks for sharing your valuable opinion.

At normal retail prices I would not hesitate for a second and go for the OPO!

However since I might get the S5 for like 1/4 of the regular price (subsidized via a company contract) and the "features" I care about (good screen, camera, community support) are about the same for both phones I guess I won't be able to take you up on your offer and might go with the S5 nonetheless.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fusionjack:
i'm lucky to pay only 5 € for the shipping :p

...or "NotEqualTwo" :p

for me, the nexus phones and oneplus one are the 'developer' phone which you can root or unlock the bootloader freely without losing the guaranty.

sony phones are also good, but you need to register your IMEI to unlock the bootloader which might burn the guaranty.

samsung phones are also my favorite because of its display and its color contrast. imo, no phone's display can beat samsung till now. the disadvantages of the samsung phones are on the knox (losing guaranty by rooting) and exynos chipset (lack of support).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I was just kidding, I'm sure the S5 is a great phone.

If only they dropped Knox :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
They ripped me off :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fusionjack:
the easiest way for me to tell whether a device caf or non-caf device is by looking the slim.depencies. if you find the word 'caf' in it, then it is a caf device. not 100% sure, but 99% :p

---------- Post added at 05:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:14 PM ----------

i don't think so. my colleagues are also paying the same :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] m1trand1r:

S-5 is so lame....IMHO :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] fusionjack:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] _Sofos_:

I've tried the unofficial Cm12 as well btw and indeed seems promising, that's a nice Os update comparing to the previous ones.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wonsky21:

that's what I remember now, but there's more...

Oh, and try to change app permissions in Privacy Guard :)

And they call it beta. It's an alphy, and very early.

Now, let's wait, maybe this weekend we'll see SlimLP first build. I'm sure they did it properly :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:

Yes for privacy guard, impossible to change permissions!

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Obagleyfreer:
That's not good news bro .

LP is AWFUL! I don't know what Google were thinking "let's make a perfectly good OS and totally mess it up and make it all colourful and childish, just like iOS"
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Jsilver73:
LOL - so you are talking about the theming of L and yes, it is a bit errm - white and green admittedly. But surely the more important thing is the vastly improved code, the speed and performance of L is noticeable already over KK, it can only get better and better. Actually, compared to the roll out of KK - L is already stable, this time last year KK ROM's were still far too bugged to use as daily drivers.

IMO L has a lot of promise, and as the base of ROM's becomes more and more stable so comes the further development of all the usual custom ROM's with all the options to make them pretty the way you want ie: TRDS ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kantjer:
I'm running LP now on my OPO and it's fast and (almost) stable. Liking it very much.

Only having some BT issues with the latest build.
