Yeah I myself am only concerned with glaringly bright white apps such as Gmail. Everything else I have that might be used in the very middle of the night has night mode or dark setting. I only use Tapatalk with its dark setting, and Google News with its Dark setting. Gmail is the other app I sometimes need in the middle of the night, and it literally instantly causes a headache even with the brightness down. My eyes just cant cope with dark text on bright white backgrounds, it should be the other way around. Imagine what the cosmos would look like if the space in the Universe was bright white and the stars were dark? That would suck... Text should be white on a darkened background, that is how the eyes naturally want to be used.

Anyway, after I update to the new version I will try to get material glass installed. Thanks for the heads up.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
EDIT: OK, I went a different direction today out of curiosity. I donated to Spectrum (used to be Pitch Black Pro) a while back and really enjoyed the black and blue Gmail theme he had. So since Spectrum has full Substratum support I decided to try all the updated stuff. So, I installed Subtratum, then Theme Ready Gapps v26, then Spectrum. Then I applied the blackness to Gmail, Youtube and Play Store and the result is stunning to say the least. Exactly how my eyes prefer to look at apps, lol. There is more that can be themed to black but I am not really concerned with those as they are not used nearly as frequently.

I would try Material Glass again but if I remember correctly there was a strip of white on the left side of Gmail that I didn't like much (seemed incomplete), but put up with all this time on Android 5. Does your Gmail have this strip of white on the left side of the gmail UI?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
Just tested material glass on gmail app its dark with white letters no white strip that i see, the theme itself might have been updated since last you tried it but looks nice to me.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Good to know, thanks man... :good:

EDIT: To dirty install a new build, all I have to do is flash ONLY the newer build correct? No gapps needed, and no wiping of any kind?

Edit: OK just like I suspected, if you dirty flash and wipe cache you lose the work you performed with the theme. I had to remove the theme and reboot just to reinstall the theme in order to get it working again.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
Yeah just flash is all, gapps survive update and su is built in.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
Flashed with open gapps nano and new theme ready gapps. Runs great, camera is working, YouTube is playing 1440p videos.

It may be too early for beer, but it's never too early for coffee, please have one on my account:

Thanks for keeping building for T700, so much appreciated!
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
Download addon.d script attached, remove the .txt from its name (I had to rename it to upload here), copy paste it to /system/addon.d and set permission the same as other scripts there.

I have just tested it working with dirty flash, all layers were in place.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] diegocr:
Thanks a ton !!

This afternoon I'll take a beer ;)

Updated to 1.9

Slim team don't update so much mm
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
Just Updated to the 1.9 its perfect no problems whatsoever Great Work Thanks again.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Same here for my T700 :good:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Dnorris55:
Updated to 1.9 from 1.8

After selecting front camera, can't connect to camera error
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah do not select front camera, it kills the camera app and you can't get back to the rear camera, which was working. I'm using A Better Camera app. Going to try clearing the cameras cache, maybe that will put it back on rear camera?

EDIT: Very strange, as the camera was working just fine until I tried using the front facing camera. Now the camera app no longer works at all, just freezes during start with a "unable to start camera" error. I tried clearing data but that does nothing. Maybe an uninstall/reinstall will do the trick. I'm not really a camera user, but I need the rear facing camera to send quick pics and video to my Skype friends.

---------- Post added at 03:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

OK, I figured it out. Just force stop your camera app, then clear its data, then reboot. It should now be using the rear camera by default and work just fine again. Just do NOT switch to the front camera as that will kill the camera all over again. :good:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
I just install open camera from playstore it works just fine , I have not tested the front camera with an app, has anyone tried it with an app like skype etc for video call?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
T700 on 1.8 Skype video call was working fine on front camera. Google Camera was force closing when trying to switch to video recording, AOSP camera app works for both, photos and videos.

I'll try to flash 1.9 in the evening.

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Dnorris55:
Thanks for finding the workaround. But for now, I'll stick with 1.8, as both cameras work in it.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
Hi.

I can't get the rom to boot, stuck on the Samsung logo. I performed the usual wipes. Any help would be much appreciated.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
Are you coming from a MM ROM or from LP? If LP you need an MM bootloader, you could get it by flaking stock MM for example.

m.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
Oh, I didn't know that was a prerequisite. I'm coming from CM 12. So shoud I flash AOSP 6.0 first?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
Yep, this could work too... .

m.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
I've never done this before. Can anyone please provide instructions on how to flash MM bootloader? thanks
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] robhug:
Lollipop bootloader is ok for this rom
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
Is it? Any idea why it won't boot then?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
make a dirty flash, helps me out, i hope you did a clean flash the first time.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
No joy.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] robhug:
Marshmallow bootloader is required for marshmallow TouchWiz roms. With Cyanogenmod based , aosp roms, etc , lollipop bootloader is required (for lollipop, marshmallow, nougat ) in general. But it's written in the OP in general. :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
Fine, so it's not a matter of bootloader since I was coming from CM 12, right?

So what could be wrong then?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] robhug:
Yes, (could happen mm bootloader is required sometimes but not this rom) so honestly is don't know. . Do you stuck on bootanimation or don't pass samsung boot logo?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
Stuck on Samsung logo, I've never got to boot animation.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
Update: I'm back to questioning the bootloader issue. I've tried to flash other MM roms: same result, none boots up. I reflashed CM 12 and it boots fine.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
make sure cache and data are formatted in ext4 , not sure if this rom support F2fs. Also flash only nano gapp and don't flash supersu, there is a super user option in this rom. You could try to flash only the rom then boot it and if it work, flash the gapp
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
no longer screen rotation, strange thing. I'm on 1.9, somebody else?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
Cache and data are ext4. I've never even tried to flash gapps or supersu.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tebra:
I'm on 1.9 t-700 and screen rotation works good
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
I'm sorry to contradict you guys. But I found out eventually that

this rom does require MM bootloader

. I flashed it through Odin and after that I was finally able to boot Slim6.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
That's exactly what I said m8 :)

m.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] saintjules:
That's true, sir, you were the only one! :)

Now, shouldn't this be specified in the OP?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
yeah, it works yesterday but not today :p on a T 800. will try with a dirty flash. ok thx bro

---------- Post added at 06:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:55 PM ----------

that's good to know. 3 cheers to u right out of the box (ur box ;) )
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
While I didn't try this ROM using the previous bootloader I did flash the latest MM bootloader just before flashing this ROM and have had no issues.

I just used the bootloader file and Odin to do so. I also clean flashed since I was coming from cm12.1
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Hey guys, today I went outside to use my GPS Status Pro to do a quick double check on my Altitude and discovered that both my GPS apps do not work on this ROM. I did a clean install of 1.8 and then dirty flashed 1.9. Everything else seems to work fine for me.

Is GPS a known issue that isn't listed in the OP by chance? Or did I possibly miss something obvious? lol

Thanks again,

Skorpn
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
Just seen on slim roms.org 1.11 is up Nov security updates
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
I've just checked after reading your post and the same, GPS Status pro doesn't see any satellites, it shows 0/0.

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Thanks for the confirmation bud. No biggie I guess.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
Yes, not a party breaker at all. Wife uses T700 for YouTube and web browsing. GPS is not on her list of concerns :D

The Answer to The Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything is: CLEAN FLASH.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Well I use it with BackCountry Navigator Pro and Highly detailed terrain maps and GPS Status Pro not to mention several other GPS type apps. So I will need it working again by next hiking season this may or so. But for now it's just a eReader during the winter months.

I will try it with my Bluetooth GPS puck, I bet that still works fine though.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
Oh Btw i was just messing around on my tab and realize that casting is working, wasn't in other builds but on the 1.9 works fine so minus the front camera not working all else is perfect.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah I been using casting quite often. I must have missed it not working on 1.8, but I wasn't on 1.8 for very long and before that was CM12.1 and it worked good there too.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
Just noticed the 1.12 is out on slim roms was just curious if this rom was still being worked on, just wondering is all not asking or anything I know people have lives but then again how can I know unless I ask :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
you have a point
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
Slim7 ? I'm sooo curious . . . . somebody else too ?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tebra:
[MENTION=4375260]diegocr[/MENTION] did you still have plan to update this great ROM?

Thanks for all you have done for this device.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
ok let's give some precisions. The REAL Nougat , CM or aosp will never happen fully on the T-800. There are some stuff that just can't be implemented. The Vulkan API is not supported by the T-800 . It's like asking to a developer to fix an old nvidia 500 video card so that it can support directx 12. It just won't happen. We pretty well came to a dead end as to updating the T-800 further. You might get a nougat UI on a MM set of blobs and architecture. That's about it.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
I'm not 100% sure because the development for the acer a500=Packard bell liberty tab stopped with android 3.2.1 but thanks to the developer we run android LP on it :)

m.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
Maybe but this rom is excellent , and I am happy with the slim 6 on this device, if we want other features there's always x posed , I'm not currently running x posed and enjoy this rom as my daily driver so not too concerned about slim 7 for this device. I do like the updates in terms of security, but for now I don't really see a need for nougat on the t800 for me at least. If we want the newer stuff will have to upgrade the device and tbh this screen and other features is enough to make me want to keep it till it dies :o
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
Slim is a very good rom... I wonder what Nougat would bring to it. I really don't know,I've tested Nougat for 30 minutes and came back to MM. I like MM better than LP though, mainly for the updated apps. I finally trimmed the Touchwiz MM, installed Nova launcher , made it slimmer and waiting for meaningful update from the DEV in this forum. Security updates will make me come back to Slim or RR. Just waitin on the final bugs to be squashed . That weird behaviour with youtube is puzzling, even on the real sammy MM. The real hardcore DEV never quit developing so we just have to wait and see ! Cudo to them. :good:

I just think that the T-800 has come to the end of the road for a new kernels.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
You Tube has changed the way the videos are displayed so unless they update or fix it its gonna be the norm regardless of what rom we choose which kinda sucks since our screen is so nice, but then again its just a little bit outside of completely full screen, Netflix is full screen and really nice quality, as is amazon video.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
I don't think it will happen until Slim7 becomes a weekly release (out of alpha/beta status). I'm more interested in 7.1 though myself.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
you crashed my dreams :mad: don't be sooo realistic, have a good smoke helps :angel:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
From my over five years experience I just disagree because it's finally depends on the dev, especially if it comes to kernels.

m.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
finally a positive message :good:
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
Yeah, we just need excellent devs, in my opinion is our HW still totally o.k..

m.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
well, this was mentioned by deadman himself. This is what he said. No Vulkan api for the T 800 . Sorry for the bad news and be a party pooper but it's a fact jack ! They can still implement many things though but it will never be a real nougat without the Vulkan API. This won't make the T 800 obsolete, it's still useful and working very well...

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 PM ----------

OK good to know that netflix and amazon are full screen, so, no video bugs in those roms. :good:

[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] Natakranta:
[MENTION=4375260]diegocr[/MENTION], latest klimtwifi (T700) build running great. It seams faster. Pity camera does work at all now as already reported, neither the build in AOSP camera, nor Google Camera.

Thanks! Keep it rolling!

Or port ABC ROM ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] tebra:
Hi [MENTION=4375260]diegocr[/MENTION]

can you confirm that the kernel of this rom include F2FS support?

If yes, which partition can be converted?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] SkOrPn:
From past comments it looks like system, cache and data can all be formatted to F2FS. I wouldn't bother with system though as there is zero evidence that it helps with a read only partition.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
christmas holiday ??
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
was just curious to if the camera can be fixed a port maybe? I know the 1.8 has working cameras so not sure what broke since then, but the 2.1 has the nov security in it so Im sticking with that until another release if there is one. This rom is awesome fast smooth.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
I think so... you have any beers ready ? unless a miracle happen, I don't expect a new ROM for at least 10 days .

HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO EVERYONE !
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
Ten Days? why Ten days ? whats going on? :)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
it's the time of festivities around the world. Usually from the 24th of December to 4th of January.

maybe there are some people who will work between both fiestas !
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
following slim6 all the time, but it's long time ago i read something new from diego (thinking schischu a little bit)

u know more than we know? i don't care about this christian "thing", but party is ok :good:

jan 2?, should i send a gift? ;)
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
naa , it's ok for the gift. :) unless you learn to compile and post a Rom !!!! ;) Here it's not a christian thing anymore, it used to be, but now it's just an excuse to be on the party for 1+ week and the new years events. Then it take a couple of days to recuperate.... :D

This must be quite universal... ( the new years event) except in China.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
yepp, like to party :angel: there's a new rom "vanir" that's a name from the "norrøn" - northern saga (thor, odin aso) it's not for vikings only ;) this education is for free :p

---------- Post added at 06:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:46 PM ----------

did u read about the "dead of cm"?
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] zigonneux:
yes, December 31 will be the end of CM. They say that CM never really took off as it was supposed to. I don't know anybody who flash his device. Most of them still bring their computer to the repair shop when they get a virus. Reinstalling windows is too complicated for them, imagine flashing a device.

When i went to download at some android files repo, I was surprised to see the low amount of downloads for some great ROM that took a lot of effort to make. It's a shame, I feel like my best hobby is going to hell. What we get right now for the T-800 are some forks of the stock MM , which I've tried and came back top the stock MM. There is only one left for me to try is the vanir AOSP. I'll try it and see...

Those developers, however, responded Saturday to the shutdown news by saying the loss of Cynanogen Inc. is a "death blow" to CyanogenMod. The blog pays respects to the community that it served for more than eight years and but bids farewell to CyanogenMod and touts the next open-source Android project called Lineage.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] kaodd:
lineage is not an independent project i'm affraid, it's cm2. but that must not be a bad thing.

maybe steve kondik comes with a new blast.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] DBCAB:
[MENTION=4375260]diegocr[/MENTION] just curious to if we have reached the end of the road for this rom ? Its an awesome rom will be good for some time just was wondering if you were going to continue on it. I do appreciate all the roms you have shared with us and ty.

it's always a way out, i'm more optimistic. BUT WHERE is diego? :confused:

Hello everyone,

I installed Slim 5.1.1 (Slim-chagallwifi-5.1.1...20160524-2300.zip) with the Slim_mini_gapps.BETA-5.1... on an SM-T800. This is my first non-CM based ROM and I think it is really great. So I would like to thanks a lot Diego and the others for their marvelous work.

I found out after installing and deeply testing the ROM that it was discontinued to develop the 6.0.1 version. Except the doze mode, I do not think that 6.0.1 is very different from 5.1.1 and maybe it should be called 5.2. So I wonder whether it is worth installing SlimLP 6.0.1 instead of 5.1.1 because 5.1.1 works so well.

After reading this full thread, I concluded this:

5.1.1 might be the best ROM, the most stable without flaws.

6.0.1 Mod 1.6 might be the second best or first best on the same level as the final 5.1.1.

6.0.1 Mod 1.8 might be the third best with camera problems on the T700 but working fine on the T800.

6.0.1 Mod 1.9 might be a regression breaking down the front camera of the T800.

So my questions are:

What advantages would bring 6.0.1 over 5.1.1, and should I use it?

If I choose 6.0.1, should I use Mod 1.6, 1.8, or 1.9?

Thanks in advance for any piece of advise.
[Galaxy Tab S Android Development] meduza:
I would say 1. is a general android question not necessarily SLIM related. Do you prefer MM features or LP?

To 2., I would say the newest build but I'm not sure if it has a working cam ... .
