Heheh. I just quoted you on your bacon thread on the same topic :p

Here's what I posted for those that don't read the bacon thread:

Humm. Is this the stuff that's pushed to your git in repos such as external_skia?? I haven't built since 0913, I was waiting till this bad boy is synced to your git :D ..because you know it's all about the number for some people :p

When that's synced (no rush) I was planning to delete ccache & make clobber to make the 'stable build' extra stable :p

Hi All,

Do I flash the updated zip file in order to update my rom? If I do this way, will I start welcome screen again?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
Haha wrong time zone :p

I did actually start a build last night and go to bed, but I lost power during the night :eek: so I have to build again, it didn't finish :( I'll probably wait now until fusionjack pushes the stable to his git now, he said he will do it tonight. No point uploading two builds in 12 hours :p

Do I just download and flash it? I thought the system is going to start from welcome screen?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
It says in the OP how to dirty flash.. does nobody read them these days ;) but no, it won't have the welcome screen if you dirty flash.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] choosetobelieve:
Thanks. I found the solution as well. It indicates that the apps will be restored automatically, it means that I have no need to back up my WECHAT history. Right? Usually, the chat history cannot be restored whem I flash different roms.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
I've never used WECHAT so I can't say from personal experience. But if the app stores it's messages like any normal app should, yes, they won't disappear if you dirty flash. They will disappear when you flash a ROM different to the last one you were on of course, because you full wipe to change between roms ;)

Hi Hopper,

Anyway to speed up the slim rom to another level? Such as removing some unpopular functions etc.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bikeryder007:
Ha, Do you even root bro?

This rom already goes to 11.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] choosetobelieve:
Faster is better. :thumbup:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SteveMurphy:
Speed up? Saber is fast enough as it is! Both the rom and kernel are built with the Sabermod toolchain, which adds a level of harmony that other roms might not have. Slim has long been known for their speedy and optimized base, but the work [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] has put into his code has only helped make this one of (if not 'the') fastest things on any mobile device.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
:eek: what :eek: wow... The short answer is no. The long answer is that it's already highly optimised for speed. You can delete apps you don't want using the built in slimsizer: settings - slim centre - slimsizer. Make sure you only delete it if you know what it is ;)

Cheers guys, appreciate the support :D

Please get rid of some unpopular features like... umm.. err... hmm.. Oh never mind. One point I'd like to make on the dirty flash. I always just flash over my current build then wait for apps to update and then flash my mods. This time I did something which turned out to be stupid. I followed some guys silly advice about formatting system and that mounting garbage. Yep.. boot loop and had to restore from a couple of days ago. Point being, just do it as you always have or clean flash with a single data wipe swipe. Build looks great, thanks Hopper.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Konsumhaus:
Hey ho...

Just tried today Minux31´s new build, wich is even great.

But after 4-5 hours I´m back on SlimSaber.SlimSaber is still faster and smoother for me.

Keep up your great work guys :good::cowboy:

Unpopular functions...? Hold up .. Crystal ball time again...lol...Have you tried purity ..I think that has less functions if you keep away from the laggy theme engine version...Supposed to be rapid...Slim ftw...
[Nexus 5 Android Development] choosetobelieve:
The only rom can have the same performance of slim rom is purity which does not have much functions.

[Nexus 5 Android Development] fusionjack:
good idea, i'll remove all functions except phone, sms and contact :D:D:D

joking by side...there is always room for improvement. it could be in the compiler flags or in the source code which have been fixed/improved day by day...so, who knows that next 10 builds will improve the performance by 2x? :p

Just a note - agps patches seem to work. Was having trouble getting a lock, even outside on a clear day. Would take 5+ minutes. I even did the antenna fix and no luck. Now it locks within 30 sec - and I'm testing indoors.

That was bugging the shyte out of me. Thank you thank you!

When something actually works, the pleasure is all mine!

I don't normally use gps, not a whole lot of roads around here, I think I know then all within a 100 mile radius, but wanted to get some yardages this morning when playing golf and was surprised to see a lock in 17 secs. I fired up my app, set the phone on my cart expecting it to take a few minutes, it had a fix before I could get my driver out of the bag! Indoors it wouldn't lock at all, no problem now.

That's how it should work!

Double posting for you too hey? Tapatalk is having a fit this morning.

Yes we already have that build 8. The code is online from slim. The post you're referring to said there was testing complete but a few troubles with Jenkins, which is what does all the builds for slim team. But because I only build for hammerhead on my own computer, I have no troubles ;)

I've mentioned code_blue plenty of times in this thread. If I were to use a custom kernel, code_blue is my first choice. But I agree, stock kernel works very well. Of course I use stock kernel, I kind of have to... If I build it, I use it :p

Has anyone had below experience:

When you are using a app such as xda, when you touch the touch screen. Suddently, you will see a strong flash appeared quickly in that touch point between you finger and touch screen. The flash is similar with camera flash. I had this issue twice in the last week. It just happened again. I cannot recall if this only occurred on the xda or aother apps.

stock kernel setings?

auto brightness?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Phazmos:
Which rom? Your kidding - right?

Kernel is uber - sm4.9 Franco 7-29 - intellidemand tweaked, tweaked mpdecision.

Never used auto brightness. I keep screen only as bright as needed - a retina friendly brightness.

@42k antutu - not latest version though, the previous. Got tired of changes that made results incompatible with previous versions.

I wouldn't expect to see same results unless your usage/environment is exactly same as mine.

My #2 rom is liquid, well, I don't have a #2 now that I'm running this, but considerably better battery here, and same performance.

I have no idea :( It could just be that certain things when doing skype -> landline has issues since that is something I couldn't test. I assume you have already tried a clean install but have you tried narrowing it down at all? Like trying different roms that are built with SaberMod 4.7+ and roms that aren't Saber -built? Is there another common nominator aside from (possibly) SaberMod?

I have tried to calling mobile and landline but the call cannot be connected. I have tried other roms such as stock slim etc. No issue can be found.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
The whole point of these builds is to make Slim more optimised... Faster & smoother. I also get better battery than the official builds. Adding a theme engine is directly opposite to this, it's big and drains a lot of resources.

Sent from my Nexu5
[Nexus 5 Android Development] SteveMurphy:
Well said.

Everyone, please stop asking about the theme engine. If you feel you must use it go flash another rom that has it. It's buggy (at best) and introduces too many issues "under the hood". I'm very happy to have Saber for hammerhead, exactly as it was meant to be!

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
It is Slim stock kernel included in the build, yes. Although the kernel is also built with sabermod :D it is actually a very nice kernel, thanks to the hard work of kufikugel on this device :)

But, you can use another kernel as long as its AOSP base ;)

Edit: I like your signature banner ;) :highfive:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Flamehell:
So i will use the stock kernel inside the rom....last question....are you planning to create a build after every slimkat official weekly?Tnx a lot mate,your rom is amazing,you deserve my signature....:D
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
Cool :D I'm about to upload a build with an i2c commit in the kernel too, hopefully that will increase battery life too. I just have to wait for my internet (low on bandwith so it's slow :p ).

And yep, it will be updated for weeklies. Also if something noteworthy is added to Slim git/gerrit, and looks 'finished', then I might include it to save waiting a week :D but note that usually it won't be added unless it is finished, or close to finished, else it can cause problems later on.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Flamehell:
It's possible to add an ota update inside the rom?:good:
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
It is possible. But not an easy thing to do... I won't be doing this in the immediate future. For now I'll just be uploading zip files to flash normally :)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Flamehell:

[Nexus 5 Android Development] Flamehell:
Sorry mate,i will.....tnx for everythings ;)
[Nexus 5 Android Development] Hopper8:
A new build is up! :D Only one change in kernel, but hopefully a good one. If you use a custom kernel, then no need to update (unless you are a flashaholic and like newer version numbers :p)

SlimSaber-hammerhead-4.4.4-20140829.zip

Changes:

-Add i2c kernel commit. This changes the bus frequency to 19.2Mhz instead of 50Mhz, as in latest Franco, uber, code_blue (and probably other) kernels.

Official changelog is now working too. It's short for now but will grow with new slim weekly ;)

Let's hope battery life increases even more: :highfive:

If I stick to a particular rom, what is the point to have nexus 5. The fun part of nexus 5 is to trying different things on this phone.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] DsturbD:
you can try different things with different phones, the nexus 5 isnt unique in that regards. but if your plan is to keep trying different things then you shouldnt be complaining when something doesnt work. if skype is something you cannot live without, then find a rom that works and stick with that. plain and simple

on the other hand, if you can provide logcats or other information to the devs then maybe they can figure out why that app isnt working on this rom...then again it could be skype that needs an update, who knows?
[Nexus 5 Android Development] bobby janow:
The point is that you can pick a rom that works for you. The fun part is enjoying what devs give you for free.
[Nexus 5 Android Development] choosetobelieve:
I have posted the issue of skype on this rom is to raise an awareness for other users. Maybe someone has the same issue with me and someone does not. I did not complaint at all.
