NOTE: THIS GUIDE WILL WORK ANY ANDROID DEVICE BUT DID JUST TESTED ON ASUS FONEPAD7(ME372CG).

NOTE: This guide is just for kitkat 4.4 devices that not have an option in Developer sittings to change to ART runtime.

Why recommended to change in ART :

Google released the new ART runtime in KitKat 4.4.

It would increase app performance and battery life. Unfortunately, there's almost no technical information about ART. There's just this page.

From what I understood, Dalvik VM translates dex bytecode into machine instructions in runtime. ART precompiles dex code into native instructions, so that it eliminates runtime translation step.

NOTE: IF U BRICKED(EVEN SOFT BRICK) I HELP YOU. :angel:

Required :

1- Kitkat 4.4 device (check software version from about)

2- Rooted device

3- libart.so file in /system/lib folder

4- persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib file in /data/property folder(if not make it)

5- ADB Tool in pc (download)

Introduction :

1- Connect your device to usb and run OPEN.CMD in Adb folder

2- Enter this code:

adb shell

3- Enter this code:

su

4- your device answer you to adb super user generation press grant

5- Enter this code:

echo libart.so >/data/property/persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib

6- Enter this code:

exit

7-dont Restart your device you are in art runtime now and now have more free ram space if done :cyclops:

Screenshot:

If you want to back to de dalvik vm runtime Enter this code in adb shell like introduction:

echo libdvm.so >/data/property/persist.sys.dalvik.vm.lib

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacProo:
Hi there

Recently I encountered some issues with my Note 3. google playstore did not allow me to sign in and no notifications appeared on my screen (the phone has root, and TWRP). I decided to try out CM11, downloaded it from the original site along with gapps on my internal sd. i wiped data cache .. the usual and installed the two files except they did not do anything. I download the custom recovery 1.3gb file using odin. booted up and noticed that my service is not working. i called my service provider to see if the problem was on their end but wasnt. i factory reset the phone via settings... same problem. i went into recovery wiped data and cache booted up and same issue.

IMEI= has not been blacklisted

I occasionally do see bars appear however no change in service status

I tried flashing TWRP again and installing CM11 except i get a "failed" message "unable to mount"

I sure hope I did not kill this phone

any idea how do i get service back on my phone? everything else on the phone works besides service provider....

Thank you very much!!

Not sure if this means anything ...
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2488575:
When you had it working with a Touchwiz Rom it could have been your APN settings that were not allowing you to get signal.

If I were you I would start fresh and download the factory image from sammobile and flash it again using Odin. We can start troubleshooting from there.

Did you use this tutorial to get a custom recovery installed? Its really straightforward and I recommend this method over all others.

I followed the steps exactly and I got this error.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
1. Check for Reactivation Lock

2. Check that you are NOT downgrading your bootloader.

EDIT: You are downgrading your bootloader, or else you wouldn't get the aboot fused 2 > binary 2 error.

You will have to flash stock, go to http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26660

Flash that in AP of Odin. Then you will be reverted back to stock.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacProo:
I downloaded that file, used ODIN V3.09 selected the file under AP. the flash worked. bootloader version NB7 however I still do not get any service

i know the issue is not SIM card related. I swapped it to another phone and received service
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2488575:
You might have to set up your APN settings after you have done that. You can google the APN settings for your carrier and then put them in manually by going Settings > Connections > More Networks > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names

You'll be able to add them in there.

Is your IMEI (*#06#) a real IMEI that matches with the values at the back of your phone, and not just null/null?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacProo:
*#06# gives me a matching IMEI with the back of the phone
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
Put your SIM in your phone, download Advanced Signal Status from the Play Store, and show us some screenshots.

In this menu you get to see more information about what is going on with your network.

Have you also made sure your APN settings are set correctly?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacProo:
I compared APN setting between my two devices (both are the same carrier and same model of phone ((borrowing from someone)). APN settings were the same except APN Protocol and APN roaming protocol were dark and could not be changed. even though i couldn't change it it was still listed as ipv4 same as the working phone.

If you need any other information, please let me know

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacProoo:
I gave that a try, rebooted the phone, attempted a call and "Not registered on network"

would changing the ROM have any impact on the service for whatever reason? i gave CM11 a try but wouldn't instal.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toastido:
Seeing all that you've tried, the one thing i don't see tried is the sim card. Have you tried your sim in another phone, or another known good sim in yours? The fact it gets signal but doesn't register with the network makes me think the sim had somehow gotten corrupted.

That'd be a bit weird, but yeah you should ask your friend's phone to try your SIM card.

Would trying your method (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2792819) but changing the bootloader to NB7 work?

"If your bootloader is of version NA2 (somehow) or NB7, skip to the contents of Step 4," rather than proceeding to step 4 going to step 1?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicholaschum:
You could try, but bootloader doesn't affect signal at all.

I had a similar problem with my gs3 cm based Roms were erasing my imei but you said its there. I had to restore it. Not sure this info will help u but u seem to be at your wits end. There has to be something wrong with the process of the network picking up the phone. That's obvious but try tracing that process. Good luck I know how it is when you can't find the solution to an uncommon problem.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MacProo:
SOLVED

it worked !!!!!!!!!!!

SOLUTION:

I primarily used these instructions to get me through the issue

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2792819

Although it does say to skip to step 4 if you are on NB7 I decided to try NB7 bootloader along with the other steps

the bootloader I used was http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=26660

I simply followed the steps and only changed the BL

Once the whole process completed (5-10 minutes) I booted up the phone, inserted the SIM chip and it works!

I cant thank everyone here on XDA more than enough for all of your suggestions and help!

I hope this helps anyone else who has was in my situation

Welcome to OPO, slimteam :)

If I understood correctly, you made and AOSP tree for bacon ???

(Every other rom is CM based so far, since omni removed their -non working- build)
[ONE Original Android Development] digweed4me:
most polished rom on nexus 5 and other devies for sure.

Aosp is better than cm we need aosp roms and kernel
[ONE Original Android Development] xXghostXx313:
Pinch Me I'm Dreaming :D. Can't wait for my oneplus one
[ONE Original Android Development] pro castinato:
Damn can't wait !
[ONE Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Well that is not so easy to answer....basically we have 3 parts

The base which is pure aosp and has nothing in common with cm.

Then there are hardware related repos. Due that opo is a qcom device it uses heavily caf based hardware repos (BTW aosp is doing this as well). But for opo we need to have some things which are ahead of current aosp source. Of course all ROMs share more or less the same caf code on this part.

Well and you have the device trees and kernel. Like on every device we try to use what the manufacture gives us. Just this time it is CM. But we are on the above mentioned hardware trees on some parts very different. Good example is the BT stack. We use for "caf" devices a completely other then cm which is more near to the aosp BT stack. Of course I needed to adapt this and changed the device trees accordingly. Other example is msim which we do not support at all. Needed to remove the tights to it and replace eg the location provider with the aosp one....etc etc.

To start to bring up a device tree from ground up would not make any sense....it is just double work and at the end you have the same. On Google devices eg we do not do this as well. We use what we get and then we start to change it for our needs and improve it. When you check SlimROMs github for the opo device trees you see that I changed quiet a lot already. Thing which still needs work is the kernel.

You can see here what is done till now:

https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_oneplus_bacon/commits/kk4.4

https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_oppo_msm8974-common/commits/kk4.4

https://github.com/SlimRoms/device_oppo_common/commits/kk4.4

And kernel which got most changes (4 or 5 pages of commits and fixes)

https://github.com/SlimRoms/kernel_oneplus_msm8974/commits/kk4.4

But yeah we will still work on the device tree and especially kernel. Want to change some things still.

Hope that answered your question :D
[ONE Original Android Development] bud77:

[ONE Original Android Development] kufikugel:
well I can answer it short.....no we do not track 50%-80% of CM repos like most other roms :p

BTW what I love most on this device is really the battery life.

Here from last 7h and still 50% left ... but without sim today and permanent wifi (with sim and full use I get 24h uptime and 7h SOT without a problem)

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy You people do That... Know, i shall not sleep....

have been a slim User since.. i dont know..

can you please... tell me if some of the exclusive apps Like(audioFX, Gallery and Camera) work on SK?

Please say yes...
[ONE Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Honestly no idea due that I did not test it.

But the gallery is an app you can get on the play store...so no reason that it should not work.

Camera on opo does not have any real special tights into the framework which the other devices do not use as well....I assume it will work.

And audioFX absolutely no idea.

I'm working on day one with slim as my governor. How are we supposed to monitor our battery life accurately against the next guy?
[ONE Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Just use it now two or three days and then switch back to interactive and just look if you have a significant difference in daily battery life.

Things is slim governor is snappier then interactive and works quiet good with the kernel. Question is if we can keep the battery life. On hammerhead it works quiet good.
[ONE Original Android Development] MyDarkThrone:
Is that I live in a dilemma since Slimkat OnePlus reached. Before I had a Nexus 5 and used with MultiROM LiquidSmooth and Slimkat and then purchase 2 themes for use in Liquid. When I got my OnePlus bought two for use with CM11S. As it seemed very slow CM11S I switched to Mahdi. But now came SlimKat, the love of my life, but I can not use my themes. So I'm constantly changing between Mahdi and Slim to not throw my money at the same time to feel the lightness and speed Slim. And with an eye on each forum. I think I'm going crazy! Sorry if it is not well understood but I'm not English speaker and I have to make an effort to communicate with you.
[ONE Original Android Development] bp328i:
I'm in the same boat as you, I have bought themes for CM11 but I love Slim, I don't think I have gone through an entire battery cycle yet going back and forth.
[ONE Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
Same thing here, I have tried every OPO ROM and SlimKat is the best, but the theme engine keeps me switching

[ONE Original Android Development] RukusX7:
HK theme manager with Xposed?
[ONE Original Android Development] DespairFactor:
I have never used that, I try to avoid xposed. Is it the same as cm theme engine? If not, how does it differ?
[ONE Original Android Development] chikimonke:
You're all obviously entitled to your own opinion, but my personal feeling is, use the ROM that's going to give you the best overall experience. My 1+1 is being delivered today :victory: so I have not had a chance to use CM11 on it, but from what I've read, it still seems to have some pretty annoying bugs. On the other hand, Slim seems to already be pretty stable, despite [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION] only working on it for a couple of weeks now (because he's a machine), and has the extended functionality that Slim always brings to the table. For me personally, a functional, stable ROM is much more important to me than making it look pretty with a few themes that I bought. Slim will eventually get a theme engine, I have no doubt, but as my previous post pointed out, there are a lot of factors that come in to play to ensure the ROM maintains it's rock solid usability. Even if they don't use CM's theme engine directly, I have to imagine they will make CM themes compatible with the Slim Engine, it only makes sense, since so many themes already exist. So while you may not be able to use the theme right now, I'd say there's a better than average chance that you'll get to use them on Slim in the future. Until then, just enjoy how stable and awesome your phone is. With Slim running on this hardware, we're the envy of pretty much every other smart phone owner out there, whether they realize it or not. :D
