i had been using build 8 and there weren't any problems. build 9 seems to have brought on these problems. i think i'll revert build 8 until a solution is found. thank you for all your help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eternal70:
[MENTION=5773568]theBlackEnd[/MENTION] the ROM are pretty good. Fast and great battery life. Maybe can I request something ? Pleas make 320 the default DPI rather than 280. It make some issues when installing apps from play store even if I already change the density. Thanks !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
Which gapps are you using?

Play Store works fine here, that error usually appears when you shut down\reboot your device while it's updating\downloading an app, if I'm not wrong.

Which kind of issues? I can install apps from play store with no issue, and every issue should be gone changing the density. Also, that's the default DPI value in official SlimLP, so I don't think I'm going to change it by default.

Thank you :)

Yeah, holy crab, I'm getting really tired of this. Something is breaking the hot fix to VYL00M eMMC chip once again.

[ 3.915588] mmc0 : Failed to fixup Samsung emmc firmware(-110)

The only change to the kernel since B#8 is a commit that's included in bsmitty89's one since the beginning of this month.

I'm going to dig in the code to get what error 110 refers to.

Meanwhile, could anybody experiencing bootloops give a try to these boot.img?

You can flash boot.img even in TWRP since 2.8.4.0

Try boot_1.img first. Thank you in advance.

Edit: If the first img works there's no need to try the second one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rd. Vortex:
Boot_2.img fixed getting stuck on the Google logo for me. Boot_1.img didn't seem to help.

Same here.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashish__s:
I'm using Slim_mini_gapps but it still didn't let me install other apps. I didn't shut down or reboot while apps were installing. I'd record my screen but i can't download the screen recorder aha
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
I'm not saying I don't believe what you say. I just can't replicate that error.

I guess you're using latest gapps package [2015-02-21, 486].

Are you on 3G or WiFi?

Thanks for testing guys :)

-----

Build #9v2 is up.

If you had no bootloops/you're using bsmittys/flashed boot_2.img, there's no need to flash this, as that's just B#9 with booting kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashish__s:
latest gapps and WiFi! :) I'll try and do it all fresh with build9v2!

Same error here.

Keep up the good work OP!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] werty100:
Installing v9v2 plus SlimLP mini gapps:p:p

Very beautiful boot animation but it stops a lot

First time waiting for full boot up

Puff a long time for nexus to boot up maybe it not boting

Remove batery and plug in and bualla magic cames it boots app
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
I thought that the issue could be caused by ART commits and missing framework and tried removing the framework, but I'm still able to install apps.

Did this happen on previous builds?

First boot takes some time to complete, there should be no need to pull the battery.

-------

After a few hours of work I got updated domx and camera working on our device.

At first, I had to forward port all [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3390093]MWisBest[/MENTION]'s workarounds to make camera work, but once it was almost done I noticed that Focus capability (manual and auto) was gone.

It's working fine now. Unfortunately green lines are still there in recorded videos, but I hope this will help somehow.

I still have to clean up source and commit history a bit, it's quite a mess atm. Anyway, if anybody wants to help testing, here's a flashable zip.

I think this should work on every LP ROM, but I'm not sure [EDIT: if it doesn't that ROM needs a full build with new repo, as some libs may be missin in the zip]. Please report it you notice any improvement (or regression :/).

EDIT:

Possible fix for camera FC: try cleaning camera cache in settings -> apps -> camera.

EDIT2:

Please, report long term stability of camera and video decoding. (ie. video decoding not working\camera FC after some hours of uptime, ...)

EDIT3:

I'm starting to think I uploaded the wrong file :|

I'm attaching the right one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rajputrajat:
Going to try right away :p

Edit:

Working alright.

As already explained focusing is somewhat wracked.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
... well, I thought I fixed it LOL it's working fine here, now.

Which ROM are you on? Just to know if this works on other ROMs.

Thanks for testing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jjrojo:
In resurrection remix force close aosp and google camera.

Flashed with wipe dalvik/cache.

Edit: I believe in resurrection remix camera focus is more or less working.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashish__s:
I am unable to update any app except for those that came with the initial google package. i'll try the update you posted!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alboz83:
Thank you very much!!! So with this update what changes are there? Because i'm waiting in a fix for not FC camera and torch anymore, working 1080p video recording, green lines in a video.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
Oh... :blush:

I think last time I uploaded the wrong package, that's why focus was not working :/

Meh... did this happen on build 8?

That package is just for testing purposes, and that is not meant to fix anything but camera.

I don't use camera very often, so I don't know if there is any real improvement. I hope to get some feedback :|

----

I just finished with cleaning up code and commits history. Sources are available on my Github.

There's still some work to do, but that's something, I guess.

Here's the new package. This is meant for testing purposes, so please, report if you notice any improvement or regression [after some usage] over previous package\stock.

P.S.: this package should work on most Lollipop ROMs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashish__s:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nautilus74:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiagofernandex:
I have a problem with team viewer, when i open the app its says: "this device does not suport OpenGL ES 2.0....."

I have no problem with CM12 and Liquid Smooth. Whats the problem..?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
What I meant is "Did this happen ALSO on build 8?"

Anyway, you have to post a logcat. I can't help without one as I can't replicate the error.

Thanks for bringing this out. I removed this line in build.prop by mistake during some test. You can re-add it or wait for next version.

ro.opengles.version=131072

If torch tile works fine you just have to kill camera app and clear its cache in settings->apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashish__s:
how do i pull the logcat?

Hello, [MENTION=5773568]theBlackEnd[/MENTION] I've tested some 5.0 ROMs and I found this is the stablest ROM for me, I like it :)

There is just one feature I want to request...

Can you add an option to left arrange the clock? (maybe in the next build (maybe 5.1? ;) )

[IMG="Left clock option"]http://i.imgur.com/DSmK4kK.png[/IMG]

Thanks for the work and the time!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r.albu:
Hi,

I've searched but didn't find the answer: whats the density value that comes with SlimKAT?

I've seen that, in build.prop, lcd.density=320. But I'm trying the, for now, new FML5.1 and I miss the density in SlimKAT.

Is it OK to change the default value (=320) to the one in SlimKAT (if anyone is kind enough to tell me what that value is)? Or is there anything else I've to change in order to have all that "space" on display?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sumsar94:
It should be all right to change the DPI to the one from SkimKAT. I think the value is 210, but I might be wrong. Try to google it.

As far as I know, you might need a multi DPI play store to see all apps
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
New build is up, this will be the last 5.0 build I think.

I already updated my repos to 5.1 and I'm waiting for SlimROMs guys to update theirs to start playing with the new version.

Changelog 9v2 >> 10:

- XPosed updates to ART;

- Revert to old working controller for headset buttons;

- Netflix and other DRM using apps should work fine now; [TBC]

- OpenGL ES 2.0 support has been brought back;

- New Install App interface (more details, comparison between current and new permissions and more);

- Some improvements and fixes here and there (RRO, memory management, ...);

- Switch to new Camera\DOMX [Hashcode's omap4-next];

Use these gapps, as the ones in OP are out of date now.

If you're missing TRDS mode give this RRO theme a try.

Oh, there's also the new XPosed package in Download section.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peppo6:
Sorry guys.. Can anyone tell me how to change dpi settings in SlimKat rom (build 9)? I really can't find it out!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxSAKISxx:
there is no build in settings to change it. Download Texdroider_dpi from play store and you are good to go. I make the same.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peppo6:
Thank you.. But your app does not work for me.. After rebooting nothing changes :( any alternatives?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] creeve4:
Try again, sometimes it doesn't work the first time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rd. Vortex:
Open /system/build.prop in a text editor (Personally I simply use Root Explorer for this). Find line: "ro.sf.lcd_density" and change to the value you want to. For example if you want to have same dpi as stock rom you'd type in: "ro.sf.lcd_density=320" (without quotes naturally). Reboot and you should have new dpi.

You do need root enabled in order to be able to do it this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] peppo6:
I didn't need it. The previous app worked, it was just a permission issue, it couldn't get SU privileges.. Now it's ok. Anyway thank you a lot guys!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxSAKISxx:
guys anyone that run build 9 of slimkat when you press the power button and the menu appears when you press reboot option you see the options reboot - recovery - bootlosder becuse when i press either reboot either power off its the same. can anyone confirm that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
Hello!

I moved back my wife's phone from android 5.1.1 to slimkat r2... after first boot, it did not ask me about which apps I would like to install back on the phone, is it correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
I can't remember any first boot backup function working on KK to be honest...

-------

Well, since 5.1.1 is taking so long to land (*), I think you will appreciate these files:

- boot.img: flash this through TWRP -> flash IMG -> boot. That's the easiest and safest way, you can also ask Google how to flash img files through fastboot.

- replace.zip : flash this over your current installation;

They fix, respectively, offline charging mode [#] (charging animation is still broken, and will be probably fixed by 5.1 switch) and most of the camera crashes.

The kernel has some improvements and will let you shut down your device by long pressing power button, too. Check my GitHub for more.

You have to flash them both (or none).

A huge thank you to [MENTION=2633638]Ziyan[/MENTION] for the kernel fixes. Buy this guy a beer! (or a coffee, as an engineering student coffee is never enough).

[#] According to logs, everything is ok. Anyway, avoid leaving it charging whole night before checking that's not overheating or sh*t when fully charged.

(*) SlimROMs devs are working really hard on it. They had some issues with servers on February and they got everything working only on March.

I wish I could help with development, unfortunately (well, not really) I'm still quite busy with my semester.

On a side note, I hope I'll find some time to update SlimROMs maguro repos and bring back official builds.

Edit: ... I forgot to press the upload button :|
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
Ok, I wasn't sure if it was a feature introduced from 4.4.4 or 5 ! I mean the one that at first login after boot asks you which app to put back on the device :)

Your last kitkat build works pretty good, much better than any 5.x we tried on the nexus ^^

Is that last / final version for android kk? I mean no further builds... right?

PRIMEMD04

Hi!

Does this rom update the bootloader to PRIMEMD04?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
Good news, I've got a working 5.1.1 build! :)

Although it seems pretty stable, this build is meant FOR TESTING PURPOSES ONLY.

I need some "alpha" testers before marking it as stable and uploading changes to SlimRoms maguro repos.

What's not working:

- Trusted faces;

What's been fixed since 5.0.x:

- Offline charging (including charging animation);

- Green lines\glitches in 1080p video recording (thanks to [MENTION=1048318]zzpianoman[/MENTION]!);

- Airplane mode;

...

What needs to be tested:

- Screen cast (I don't have any device to test it with);

If you get com.android.phone FCs, you will probably need a factory reset.

Alternatively, you could try erasing "Telephony (SMS/../APN)" (data only!) through Titanium Backup, that worked for me but I'm not sure that's enough.

Also, use Mini gapps package, new Normal one won't fit our system partition.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akosijasper:
Done full wipe and flash but no googleplay and apps from the gapps flash i did a full,normal and mini gapps.

edit: i think i have to flash also the addons. but still the boot animation si not that flawless :(

edit: [MENTION=5773568]theBlackEnd[/MENTION] i got "Googleplay services has stopped" and only zero gapps wors with the addons.

also i can't restore contact for google no options for google sign in.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kongha:
After three days with the latest version I must say Im impressed with the work you modders are doing. The rom is a bit slow but its in alpha/beta/dev so I dont see that as a problem.

The issues Ive run into is the following:

a) 2 random rebots

b) losing 3g connection (a rebot did bring it back).

Hope to see more of what our old gnex can do :)

- Some fixes here and there;

- 5.1.1 r3 has been merged

- SlimPIE is back;

- More;

Bootanimation stutter will be fixed in next build.

Thanks, I never stopped updating\testing, though.

f2fs should work fine, you don't need to switch to ext4.

Double check gapps have been flashed correctly. Mini package will fit our system partition. Also, if you're not going to change DPI there's no need to flash addons package.

I've not got a single reboot in 1week+, nor 3g issues (I don't use data very often, though).

Have you dirty flashed over 5.0\other ROM? If so, please, perform a factory reset or post a logcat and a dmesg of the issue otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akosijasper:
Downloading ....... i'll flash it later :good:

edit: done flashing... better that last build.... still i'm searching for some bugs... not that snappy as zmod but so far its okay... still i don't like the boot animation coz its a bit lag... i'll report again if i found bugs.. thanks for this [MENTION=5773568]theBlackEnd[/MENTION]

edit: downloading apps my apps from google play works fine :) still hoping for no bugs, freezes etc.

but THUMBS UP TO THE FIRST LP HO HAVE PIE NAVS!

edit: stock messenger FC when i tried to pressing the 3dots for its settings.

solution> use other messenger. :)

Edit: video recording

Front cam video recording not that good a bit laggy.

video playing on VLC app got HW acceleration error "an error occured with hardware acceleration, would you like to disable it and try again?"

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] theBlackEnd:
Yeah. I noticed it as well. Seems like it's gone now, it fixed itself (?!). IMHO that was due to some of the sync\gapps. I have no idea.

Battery stats screen shot attached.

Try setting your DPI to official value (320). . Looks like phaleg gave this a try already. (?)

... That fix is for 5.1 ROMs. You can't really replace a 4.4 lib with the lollipop version and expect your device to boot.

r2 has been working fine for ages. If you're experiencing Google Play Services FCs you may need to flash latest SlimKAT gapps.

I know they're out of date now - they dropped support for 4.4 gapps :| -, but this should work for a while. I hope next GPServices version will fix this.

Could anybody check the GPServices version that keeps force closing and provide a logcat of the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phaleg:
Yep, we did a super clean install and used slim gapps. DPI droid set to 320 (the original setting had too small items to be useable for us).

FC happens sometimes, but they do, they repeat for a bit...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MarcosSilva88:
I got the Play Services FC again, when I activate the location service(GPS). the FC stops when I deactivate the location services, its only me with the FC related with location service?

EDIT:

My problem is related to Location modes. In "High Accuracy" mode, i got FC all the time, and I cant get my location in some apps, GPS Fix cant find my location. Here Maps works fine. In "Device Only" mode, GPS Fix cant find me too, but the FC stops.

EDIT 2:

Installed Google Maps to test, and the FC stops using "High Accuracy" mode, and the GPS Fix can find my location.

I will try a another clean install using the full GApps version(with Google Maps included) before i sleep.

Edit 3:

FALSE ALARM

It seems like this FC problem is random, after reboot, the FC comes back, apparently has nothing to do with Google Maps, but was weird how everything worked normally after the installation
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldlocke:
OMG! I really need to get more sleep! I only found CM11 (official nightly) working for me so far of all the AOSP/CM Roms out there atm. Slimkat 9 gave me the same exact behaviour as described by MarcosSilva.

Thanks for testing.

That's not meant to fix our issue. Also, I'm definitely not going to build any r3.

I've been using SlimLP 5.1 for weeks now. I must say I'm quite impressed.

Last build is stable, battery life is pretty good (since the battery drain fixed itself LOL) aaand main issues that came with Lollipop are fixed now.

I think next build will be usable as daily.

Thanks.

Well, that's some gapps issue, not related to the ROM (... this is affecting various devices running KK and LP).

The only fix I can suggest is reverting to older Google Play Services version until Google minds to fix this.
