Fastest ROM I have ever get, since I bought Note 3! I mean it has quickest response even when comparing with CM/Temasek ROMs. Not insulting them just saying. Give it a try!

BTW: Is it possible to open all system files in zip instead of zipping 1 system image file ? Like Temasek's one. I hope I could explain?

Does anyone have ok google everywhere available in their google app settings? I've tried a bunch of different fixes but nothing works..
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] piats:
Flash proper gapps
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] imsiin:
Beautiful worked , thanks
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] piats:
No.

You need GApps where Google app is installed in system partition.

So I highly recommend these official Slim GApps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53632481

Here's latest version of Slim mini gapps: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347817048

Banks or TK GApps should work too but I haven't been using those in years so don't take my word on it.

I flashed these two and the google.app.zip one said enjoy ok google everywhere after flashing .. Everything is awesome now. Thanks again [emoji106]
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] piats:
I wouldn't use those GApps because they are outdated.

And that Google app is old too but maybe you can update it via play store.

But anyway good that it works now for you.

Thanks for bringing new life to our beloved note!

Do you have any plans in the future to support intelliplug?

Lähetetty minun SM-N9005 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
That's how it started last time :) Scooby or someone else asked for intelliplug, then I started pulling all kinds of commits, rebasing kernel, etc. So it became bloated, slow, and unreliable. I might actually have 'testing' branch to try things like that, but this time one at the time. Will see.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] piats:
Yes I understand you. Kernels are indeed really tricky. But mpdecision isn't really effective in terms of battery life. And yank tema and Arter97 prefer intelliplug over mpdecision so...

Or would it be hard to port over Temasek's or Arter97's kernel?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
Tried that, didn't work as I expected. Hence 'back to basics'. They moved to lazy plug, AFAIK.

Ok, stupid question: how can I change font? Do I need to use an app to do this?

Also, is there a way to enable reboot menu? You know, reboot to recovery, reboot to download...etc. Thank you

It's there in 'Security'
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] jonny908:
Thanks mate for the fast response ☺

Now, if someone could help me with the fonts....
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
There's an app called Font Changer on Play, you can use downloaded ttf's as well as the included ones. There's also a flashable zips thread: http://xdaforums.com/android/themes/fonts-flashable-zips-t2964304 which has a flashable in the op to be used in case of unrecognised characters like the clock colon. Flashable may be the way to go, nice and easy to flash each update. If the font you want isn't there, you can always edit one of the zip files.

I don't see many changes in your git but man this build feels fast. Thanks again
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
This is not much? :D

New build is out of testing folder, ready to flash.

Rom wise, it is still beta 0.7, but now with f2fs support for system partition. And of course, full Layers support.

In kernel department more things going on. Somebody mentioned that the rom has great standby battery drain (flat lines), but the percentage goes down while in use. I have checked the cpu freqs used, and all seems to be normal, the drain must have been coming from the gpu. Therefore, new build has powersuspend mod by yank integrated, as well as adreno idler by arter. Enjoy and report.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] piats:
Yes sir!

Yeah but most of those commits were already included in that first September 17th test build.

Thanks again!
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
OK, got you now, thought you were comparing it with previous build. That fix build was to bring the buttons back.

I did a clean flash and everything is working fine no problems here.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
To all with button problems: you got your build from the test folder. Working build is in root folder. Alternatively, you can just flash slim kernel 1.2 (in kernel folder) and you'll be up to date.

To all: this is the correct build, other one was deleted yesterday. You were just too fast. :)

System partition doesn't

Many Many Thanks encho. You made my day once again.

All the best (to the best :) )
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
...and THE Slim is back! Development picked up the pace especially in last couple of weeks, and Slim that we all used to love is here now. Feels smooth, light and polished.

Needless to say, new build is up.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] costasparisis:
Seems like I got you again -HEHE ;) take a look to the post before this :p

Back with 1st impression

Light - fast - snappy - stable, as expected.

Literally NOTHING missing in terms of customisation for a plain, serious ROM:

MOST IMPORTANT ASSET is BUTTON REMAPPING (to one's heart's content ! ) which basically means: (to me at least) NO NEED FOR GRAVITY BOX thus avoiding all sorts of conflicting code bits creating potential problems etc etc.

If it weren't for a specific x-posed module ("auto correct always ") which enables word prediction to all text fields in apps (which is essential for the basic application of my daily work saving me tons of time and effort) and to a lesser degree for clipboard manager modules (currently using "native clipboard" but "clip history" also an excellent alternative- of course there are non x-posed clipboard managers around unfortunately with less functionality and speed) and to an even lesser degree "no keyboard popup" (major annoyance), I personally WOULDN'T NEED TO FLASH EXPOSED FRAMEWORK at all to this ROM.

Saving camera pictures to SD, enter key instead of emoticons in SMS keyboard and volume buttons remapping to move cursor, which I consider (almost) essential, are all natively there, not to mention date in taskbar, network activity arrows, quick settings tiles customisation and quick/smart pulldown, Navigation Bar and SlimPIE for the ones that use them and even proximity speakerphone (still no phone keypad T9 localizations but who cares) all being there too.

I'm still trying to figure out how can this ROM feel so light and snappy with so many features squeezed inside, but then that's the spirit of Slim.

Wrapping it up:

On first look ROM is excellent in all terms, managing to look and feel plain and fast without missing any essential customisation option. It seems to currently be the best candidate for the daily driver of a user focused on functionality, stability and speed rather than toys, gizmos and "overcustomizing".

The only thing that could make me personally "look elsewhere" would be a working USB Mass Storage option prefarably utilising the USB 3 hardware which is "just sitting there laughing at us" but this is mainly a Kernel thing, although there are scripts and apps which unlock the UMS <not USB 3> function in some phones. So, maybe, one day, I might try to twist your arm a bit for this.

Many Many Thanks encho
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
I have noticed that you seen it, it was expected though. [emoji41]

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] costasparisis:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
BTW, this new version is quite solid. I am using it for a day now and having great battery life. And it is smoothest ROM yet.

Forgot to mention, it is (almost ironically) using cm hlte device tree, meaning it is few months of commits ahead of official Slim. Also featuring arter's audio and Bluetooth fixes.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] piats:
How about RRO layers?

I tired a few different layers but none of them worked/themed properly settings menu and notifications.

Main settings background stayed white which should have been black and notification text and background was black so notifications were unreadable.

Idk if there's some missing layers commits which would solve this problem.

Anyway thanks for a great rom
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] svbarbosa:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] hom.hom:
First of all, thank you Encho, for building slim alpha's; it is smooth and simple. However, I do seem to miss 2 features; disabling the backlight of the soft keys as earlier mentioned and long press to skip a track does not seem to work. If it is not implemented, please do, if it is, where do you change the setting to enable it; because for me it doesn't work (neither with play music or poweramp).

Finally, regarding the vote for features; is it maybe useful to have a poll in the OP? And for each feature to be implemented to have a critical mass for such a feature. For example, at least 5 people need to vote for the feature in order to have it implemented (5 seems low, but we are not with a lot of people here). Maybe, it is also useful to first do a call for feature ideas? Now, wr at least have the call for disabling the backlight of the soft keys and, now from me, skipping tracks by longpressing the volume button (if this is not already inplemented of course)
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] scoobyjenkins:
If you reboot to recovery, wipe system, cache and dalvik cache then flash rom, gapps and any other zips you may use, you will effectively wipe out system apps like gapps but immediately replace them. So when you reboot, you will still have your google account information somewhere in data (as you didn't wipe data). If you were to wipe system and flash rom only then reboot, of course you would lose your gapps and if you were to then go back to recovery and reflash gapps, you would need to set up your google account again.

System partition should have been working, I'll need to have another look. Built in superuser apparently has some issues with applying layers. As a workaround you can first press the 'paint' button, without anything selected, and then manually chose your layer.

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Lyokacanthrope:
So, eh, I've only had this device for a short while, but I'm absolutely in love with this ROM. Used Slim before on quite a few devices (Nexus 7 2013, 1st gen Moto G, Moto X 2013) and it's nice to see it's still one of the slickest, fastest, smoothest ROMs around.

I have a question though. Any possibility of enabling Ambient Display in these builds? I don't really care about the lack of a pickup sensor or what have you.

I'm not too sure how similar the hardware between jflte and hlte are but these two commits might be worth a look:

[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
Last time I heard about it, it caused huge battery drain. Unless they fixed it? But what would be the point in using it if there's no sensor, how would it activate?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] newintage:
Can you set SELinux to permissive default ? Or Slim will overwrite it in new builds ?

I know SELinux Changer app but just wondering, why is it enforcing ?
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] Lyokacanthrope:
Well, the first commit I linked introduces a low power mode for the framebuffer driver which would probably help with the battery drain. If it still exists, it's still an optional setting.

Secondly, there's apparently a service that uses the significant motion sensor along with some timed proximity sensor polling to simulate the pickup sensor of the Nexus 6/Moto X devices.

And it still activates when receiving a notification and it's e.g. sitting on a table. Which looks nice.
[Galaxy Note 3 Android Development] encho:
There was long debate about this, especially when it comes to samsung devices and our chipset. It is determined that it is generally safer to use the enforcing mode.

Ok, will have closer look, definitely sounds interesting if it is not too taxing on the juice.
