it's always better to make a backup of internal and external sd card before doing something!

beware of using twrp 2.8.7 f2fs !

with that recovery, you will be able to make a nandroid backup.

when it's done, copy this backup on your computer, in case of emergency: :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
Thanks for quick reply! Will try it in the following days.

edit: which kernel is recommended?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droidblitz:
Ambient Display :D

I dont see it on the settings menu.

So im guessing SlimLP Rom doesn't support it?

Because with CM based rom there is a Ambient Display inside display settings http://imgur.com/a/i6K0x

Anyways, thanks for the reply :D No worries.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
i prefer Alucard kernel. better for smooth device and battery stat ! :good:

it's inside the build named with alu word.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
Good! What about camera issues like with SlimKat (cannot connect to the camera)?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
no issu for me, camera work fine!

what kind of issu do you have?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
OK, good. Here and there the camera app cannot connect to the camera, restart is needed.

One more thing; if I backup my current system/data, then convert FS, install SlimLP and then restore my SlimKat backup. Do I need to convert it back to EXT4, before making restore?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
not include for the moment.

i've asked to slim dev if they plan to add it for next build! :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] wishm:
Really the best ROM. The only ROM based on AOSP here on the XDA forum in which I have no problem with interrupting BT connections.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
yes, you will have to convert it back to ext4 before making restore.

but don't worry, you will never go back to slimkat! :p
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
thx for compliment! ;)

seems i've missedsomething because ambient seetings is in slimsaber bacon rom...

gonna watch and try to add it too in our s4 build!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] boybill:
Glimpse Notifications app from the market is working for me until Ambient display is incorporated into this rom.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
As i said, i missed something in commit...

Ambient setting is in source but seems i didn't add them in my build for our device.

watch the screenshot made by a slimsaber user for bacon (one+one) device.

will try to add it in next build!

Hi. Tried this rom a couple weeks ago, clean flash, supersu 2.46, but had major problems with TiBu getting stuck and not restoring apps (from extSD card). Some would restore fine, with some others TiBu would just get stuck.

I remember I had the issue on and off in the past with SlimKat official.

I am on jfltexx.

Anybody else experiencing the same problem?

Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droidblitz:
Just download a fresh install on the play store.

I once had that stuck restoring apps with facebook app and facebook messenger.

Solution?

Download it to the playstore.

Not a big problem IMO. :D

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
I never restore apps, because it make the device unstable...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droidblitz:
And i solved my problem with the Data Conncetion.

With Samsung TW stock base rom.

I get to choose if i want to lock my signal to Wcdma only / 3g only in settings.

While playing around with this rom i noticed that my signal wont go to H+/H while using Data Connection. ( i have a bad reception with 3g thats why i need a setting that lets me use 3g only signal )

So what i did is install "Advance Signal Status" and confired that when you select the "3g" tab in the settings its more like a Wcdma "preferred" thats why its not locking to 3g only signal.

So with the said app above.

I can now choose WCDMA ONLY"

It will lock my signal to 3g now.

Hope this helps anyone having difficulties switching data signal.

And hoping that soon we get a somewhat more 3g only ( wcdma only ) function when you choose 3g in the settings.

Cheers...

Hi.

I have installed it successfully. For now everything looks good, thanks! Very stable alpha so far, GPS, wifi, lte and signal without any problems. Have to check BT.

Few questions:

Is it possible to have more detailed pattern on the lockscreen (4x4)?

How can I set simple lockscreen where you immediately start drawing pattern instead of sliding/tapping first, to get the pattern net?

Why is there character "#" in the status bar?

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] alburke47:
The # usually means Supersu is "running".
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
Thanks, I found toggle under Developer options.

What about lockscreen?

I have noticed higher battery consumption, in 10hrs after night only 54% left, more or less no usage. I have to repeat a few charging cycles to verify this..

One more thing; when playing tunein radio, it randomly blocks the sound (like a sound freeze, very unpleasant sound). Is it possible that cpu freq is too low? I have to check with other radio stations and apps to verify it.

Mines dropping really quick as well, using alucard version. Clean flashed yesterday after swapping to F2FS

Regarding tunein problem; reinstall worked somehow, don't know why.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] angelcalibur:
So, i've make a test build yesterday, and it's the same thing: no ambient display...

it's strange because when i make a search in this display menu, i find this :

So, it might say that this option is in the build, but we don't have the menu to activate it no?

i will try to make another build today and add another commit, and see if it work! i've seen that yesterday, 5.1.1 r9 was merge in slimrom review.

i will be on holyday this afternnon for 3 weeks so, i will answer and release new builds when possible!

Anyway, I have found out that my s4 does not go to deep sleep when the screen goes off. I have waited for almost 5 mins and all that time it was on minimum CPU freq (378MHz).
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droidblitz:
CHeck WiFi Settings.

Maybe your wifi doesnt go to sleep aswell ? Check it on settings >> wifi >> advance >>

and install CPU Spy Reloaded
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
Hi.

I also tried with wifi OFF. I have CPU Spy since the day I had similar problems with ZTE Blade, many years ago:)

Like I said, it goes to 378MHz, that's about it. Can you tell me how to find the app/process that keeps the device awake? I will post you Wakelock Detector screenshot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droidblitz:
post it and i'll check it later.. :D

EDIT: Using Alucard kernel build as always
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
Where do you thing is the problem on my phone?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] FlanjeUK:
It must be an app... You can use Wakelock Detector or Better Battery Stats to see which apps are keeping your phone awake.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] droidblitz:
I think what he's pointing out is that the minimum freq doesnt go to lower than the set mininum freq which is 380 something mhz?

Or the possible cause thhat the device wont go to sleep is theres an app that keep the device up and running at a low freq.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] DVDeus:
I am sure it is some app/system. Otherwise all other users would have the same problems. Here is cpu wakelock; sleep time 0mins like told. What is going on with android system?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] niicoland:
You could start with AppOps or the equivalent on this ROM (I'm still new to this one) and see which apps wake your device and keep it running.

Hmm, I'm running an older build of optimised LP (07/25) and hitting 4hrs doesn't seem hard for me (I've always charged before it's gone below 20%. My best effort has been 2hr 10min SOT + 1hr 30min Phone calls by 50%.

F2FS working for data and cache, and system is on ext4 (maybee i've forget to switch partition...) with optimised build ONLY!

For your information, hardware button (menu, home and back) doen't do anything (they seems to work but no action), but now, we have the navigation menu came back, so we have to use the navigation bar.

Think hardware button action will came back later.
