Haven't seen any other thread so I'm posting here.
To start off, playing with the swiping keyboard is troublesome for me... I never liked Swype and I suck at swyping anyway tapping seems faster... Or maybe my finger isn't greased properly...
Otherwise, I have noticed that Agent Dash seems to stutter less in my 5 minutes of testing. The kernel's changed so I don't get those frequent flashing and random reboots (not yet anyway) (knock wood!).
No miracast streaming. No change in the radio performance thus far. There's a new antialiasing option in the Dev options though.
Seems alright, I'll say. Sans the swiping (which is a personal preference, cause it slows me down if I type carefully... Which you need to do if you want to make any sense... Go figure!)
sent from my mini tractor

I sense a lag after the update; even after two reboots.
The lock screen is almost rubbish IMHO. Its like having multiple screens with widgets.
As for the toggle I was expecting much much more. Don't mind the keyboard at all.

I don't have a 4.2 OTA, but I've been running the leaked apps on my Gnex for weeks.
Here's my impressions:
Keyboard is great for one-handed typing, I don't care who you are you have to admit that it makes it a little easier to type when you only have one had available and I'm a fan of it.
Camera is alright, I feel like the pictures (at least on the Gnex) didn't look as good as they should've but that was a .apk from a Nexus 4, so it's understandable. Also Photo Sphere works pretty well if you know how to take the pictures correctly and not move the phone around too much.
From what I've seen of the official 4.2 features, lock-screen widgets look really unfinished, quick settings needs some work and the ability to customize it, and I still don't know if HDR is on the Gnex yet.
Overall I'm a little skeptical if this will be a definitive "upgrade" or not.

Bad one, downgraded to 4.1.2
First thing is, that you cant use gesture typing on my languange (finnish) so useless feature. Locksreen is crap i think like comparing the ways to widget locker, android loses 5-0. the build is also laggy, and apps is crashing and i get reboots. Would not recommend this, maybe later when batter version is avaible

Everything seems to be running smoothly so far. I flashed 4.1.2 stock, unrooted, flashed the 4.2 zip and re-rooted and all that jazz.
Starting from new sucks (have to re-do screends and such), but it's also nice to start over fresh.
Lock screen are interesting but I find myself trying to swipe to the next one, but registers as a pattern instead (pattern password lock). When I start getting more texts/events I'll be able to find the usefulness of it all.
Swipe is really nice on the keyboard. I'm a button-press guy, but this is sort of refreshing. I like seeing the word develop as I move my finger around. Will I use the all the time? Maybe. I'll give it this week to test out.
Pull-down with quick settings is a useful feature. If it had data as well, that'd be amazing. I usually turn on wifi, turn off data just to make sure I'm not wasting it on my ATT plan. The icon for my name in the top left is kind of useless though. Just shows a small amount of contact information. Maybe it'll be the spot for profiles in the future.
Speed and performance is amazing as always. Ever since Jelly Bean it's been responsive and quick to load apps. Only when something is downloading in the background does the OS get a little sketchy. That's nothing to worry about though.
Remember to tap 7 times on About > Build Number to enable Developer Options. It's only been maybe half an hour, so I'll keep running through the various features to get the full experience down. Next up: Photo Sphere.

It's really smooth and stable for me. Even better than 4.1.2. I like the new styling and I fell in love with new additions right away. Like I mentioned before, I'm a bit bothered by a "recent apps" menu. Everythime I close (slide) an app, it laggs. The whole thing just blinks for a bit. Otherwise, everything runs well.
Oh, and I don't have "pinch to zoom" in Gmail.. checked in the settings, if I missed anything, but nothing... any ideas?

Damn, I must be blind... thank you so much!

Not particularly impressed with the lockscreen widgets. And the colors are terrible! Can't wait for a custom kernel to drop so I can get that sorted! Apart from that, it's been okay so far, except for the slightest bit of lag, which seems to have settled in now. I guess it's a little too early to tell since most of us would still be installing our apps and customizing it, etc. Can't say much about the keyboard since I'm not a very big fan of the swipe keyboard. I'm happier with SwiftKey!

Swype feature is working well. Camera looks good but forced closed few times. Once it hung and I had to take out my battery to restart.
Setting panel is a disappointment ..was expecting toggle to be available. Didn't face any lag.
Btw i don't see the thumbnail of clicked snap when my camera is on so I had to go to gallery to check the clicked snap.
Also new play store doesnt show manual updates seperately.

Just realized those aren't toggles. Disappointed as well. It's just telling me what is on instead of allowing me to quickly chance. Well, back to power toggles again.

On another note, zoom/fit-to-screen isn't enabled in Gmail by default. Go to Settings > General > "Auto-fit messages" to enable it. Now those HTML formatted emails from companies looks decent.

This build is so ****ing slow! I can't even tap on the keyboard because it's very very very lag guy, seems like this room makes my nexus touch screen a hundred times slower then it should be

Can anyone tell me if wireless display is activated via the OTA? Am extremely interested to know if Miracast is a software feature or not.

The Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S builds still use the old 3.0 Linux kernel. Only the Nexus 4 build uses the newer 3.4 kernel. Is there a good reason why the new kernel isn't used in the other builds?

It can't be activated since the GN chipset doesn't support it.

There have been apps available for years that accomplish the exact same thing, I can stream music/video to my AppleTV & PS3. So I see that as a total cop-out, if true.

[APP][2.3+][Need Testers]Kakudo an app switcher and multitasker

I am currently developing an app to make switching between apps faster. I need testers to test the stability of the app and since I don't have any devices below ice cream sandwich I need to know how it works on devices below 4.0. I need about 15-20 testers with phones or tablets running 2.3 and above including ICS and JB testers. If your interested send me a message with what device you have so I can send you a link to download the app with a checklist of what to test. Testing the app shouldn't take more than a few minutes to do.
For testing you will have the full version of the app when it is completed for free.
here is a video of the main feature of the app
http://youtu.be/tWjeLht0Z54
EDIT
I have put the app on the play store instead of on my dropbox.
heres the link to it
Kakudo
this is the checklist for testing:
Swipe left or right to cycle through recent apps
Make sure home screen doesn't come up
Swipe up from the bottom to open favorite apps drawer
Add toggles to check that they work correctly
Add apps to see if they open properly
Hold down to remove app/toggle
Click notification to change settings
Change all settings to see if they work properly
if the app crashes at anytime click the "send a report" if possible with what you were trying to do when it crashed. If the option to send a report doesn't come up if you could just send me message or leave a post below with what caused the crash that would be great.
when beta testing is done you will still have access to the full app and all future updates even though it will change to a Lite version with certain features disabled as long as you don't remove the app after testing is complete. I will let all testers know when testing is complete.
thank you for your help,
Acela1230

Hi,
Update the post with link and what to test list would be better option then to wait for your pm reply
I have gb 2.3.6, ics 4.0.4 and jb 4.1.2 devices, I can help in these firmwares.

thanks to everyone who is helping me test this app. I have just uploaded a new .apk to the play store which should (hopefully) address some of the issues that everyone was having. The update may take a little bit to be published but when it does, if everyone could see if they are still having the same issues I would appreciate it.
The issues that some testers were having seem to be a bit hit and miss because I could replicate them on one of my nexus 7's but not my other one.

Got the update
Will test now and report later
Would be great if you could implement a small changelog in the new functions-section next time

Just posted a new update that includes:
translations into German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese
Stability fixes when opening new windows
Changes to how the settings menu works
ability to change gravity of side bars
changed the add favorite button so it can't be clicked more than once in a row (still working on a visual feedback)
thanks to all who have been testing and giving feedback to help me improve Kakudo

Thanks for testing my app. I just released a new update that should address the issue of the dropdown list for the background; its a scrollable view now to fit all the colors in to the list. when you have time if you could check to see if it works properly I would appreciate it.

I get FC when i try to use the app drawer or change the sensitivity of the side swipes and every time I open it after, it force closes when i try to configure.
I freaking love the idea though, keep on at it!

thanks for the support.
just a few q's:
What device are you using? Could you try restarting your device to see if the problem persists.
Does it FC everytime or only sometimes for the app drawer?
Is there an option to send a report? This is the best way for me to find out what might be happening.

I have a HTC EVO 4G LTE
Super Jelly Rom
ARC REACTOR KERNEL OC TO 1.89
Sent from my EVO using xda app-developers app

for anyone who is still experiencing force closes and is sending reports please include:
Android version
What you tried to do that caused the crash (ex. Swipe right/left and if it happens everytime or just for a certain app, open favorites drawer, adding favorite, changing a setting/what setting you were changing)
I received two reports today one for activityNotFound which I believe is on an Android 2.3 device but can't be sure of. The other was a nullPointerException in which the log only shows a problem with the standout library that I use and nothing about what window in my app caused the crash. Without context as to what the user was trying to do I don't know where to start to look to solve these issues.
I am trying my hardest to improve my app and appreciate all the help I have received but I can't improve it further when I don't know what action is causing these force closes.

Just released what I hope will be the last beta update. Changes include:
Rewritten Toggles
All toggles except GPS should now work on Samsung toggles. I didn't change the GPS because I like they hack for the power controls so I don't have to leave the activity I am in. All toggles however will now change image to correspond with on/off and brightness level.​
Notification Icon
The Notification Icon can now be hidden from the top bar. On newer devices it will hide after you hit done.​
Certain Stability issues were addressed
Hopefully I found the problem with android 2.3 giving an ActivityNotFound exception when swiping left and right​
If all the testers could just check to make sure these things are working correctly I hope beta testing will be complete.
A big thank you goes out to all the testers who helped me improve my app.
EDIT:
I had accidentally deleted the code that would allow beta testers to keep the full version after testing is over. So if you get another update this is the only thing that changed so make sure to download it. Also in the developer console it shows me what version is being used by how many people and I'll try to make sure everyone has the correct version before ending testing.

**VERSION 1.1 WAS A MANUAL UPDATE SO MAKE SURE YOU CHECK TO MAKE SURE YOU'RE UPDATED TO THE LATEST VERSION**
Anyway, just uploaded another version which will be the last for beta testing unless I hear from anyone that something is wrong. This version is 1.2 and adds drag and drop for devices running honeycomb and above. I realized last night that I had to waste time just to reorder the drawer and decided to learn how to do drag and drop to implement it in Kakudo so it would be really nice if you guys could test this feature and make sure it is working correctly.
After you download the newest version you may notice that the toggles and the favorites drawer background are wrong. Just reset them and they should work correctly (it has something to do with me adding new items to the sharedprefs that makes it all screwy).
Make sure if you want to keep all pro features that you update to the latest version. If I don't hear about any problems I will be ending beta testing at 8pm est (-5 GMT) today (5/15). If you haven't updated to at least version 1.1 which is a MANUAL update you will lose these pro features. If you deleted the app and want to have pro features you will have to download it before I end beta. After beta is over do not delete the app or you will lose pro features.
if you PMed me about beta testing I will PM you to remind you to update the app. If you didn't PM me this will be the only warning to update or redownload the app to maintain pro features.

Ok testing is now complete and the both the Pro and Lite versions are now available on the Play Store.
Thanks to everyone who helped test Kakudo and if anyone is interested in continuing to help me out testing upcoming versions PM me because Google just updated the developer section to allow for beta and alpha testing apps through Google groups or Google+ Community and I think this will be the best way for testing changes to apps. If anyone experiences any problems with features after downloading the newest update also PM me so I can fix it.

With the new beta testing in the developers console I can now keep testing my future updates.
If interested to become a beta tester you need to be apart of this Google Group: https://groups.google.com/forum/m/?fromgroups#!forum/kakudo-testers
After asking to join I will have to confirm you as a member which I will try to do as quickly as I can. Once your a member of the group you will see a topic that says Beta Link in the group. Go into that and click the link to get the beta version of the app.
As a beta tester you will have full access to Kakudo and I ask that you help improve my app. To do this you will have to participate in the group letting me know how the app is working. If at anytime someone isn't giving feedback about the app updates, I will email them asking if they still want to be a tester. If I don't receive a response I will remove you from the group and you will lose access to the beta version.
Anyone interested just go to the group link and ask for permission to join the group.
Thanks in advance for everyone willing to help.

[Q] Rooting the Captivate Glide for an old WM6.1 newbie

Hello all and been awhile since I've been active in these parts.
This is probably a faux pas on several levels, but here I am. I used to be rather adept at rooting/ROMing/modding my smartphone years ago in the days when I was using HTC Windows Mobile phones, up through 6.1. Then my phone died, and I "upgraded" (several years late) to an early cheap Android 1(.2?) Pantech Crossover a few years ago. Given there was really no dev community for the Pantech, and I was relatively satisfied with the performance, I never even experimented with modding that phone. It lasted until present and served me well, but my wife just presented me with the Captivate Glide as an early Christmas present and so here I find myself, and somewhat out of the loop.
Given most of my experience is on outdated WM rooting, and it's been quite awhile, I'm looking to school myself on what I'm doing before I start messing around with the new Captiate Glide.
Can you point me to the do's and don'ts, resources, or newbie threads, and what-i-need-to-know-not-to-brick-my-phone links or threads before I dive into this? I have found some basic info thus far, and I guess I'm hoping for something more comprehensive for newbies, or any relevant info for someone who isn't up on the latest methods, tools, etc.
My apologies if I have looked over obvious resources. Children, work, family, and lack of time prevent me from finding everything I need by researching and sorting through gobs of info to learn the traditional way.
Thanks in advance.

Sent from my Kitkatified I927 running CM 11

So after a few hours of tinkering, I successfully flashed the cyanogen ROM you linked above... but the voice recognition didn't seem to be present? I expected a microphone button on the keyboard as on my stock 4.0.4 (which works, but requires a data/internet connection), but none was present, and couldn't find anything that indicated a way to use voice typing elsewhere. I couldn't seem to find anywhere to activate it or indicate it was on the ROM. Per the thread for the ROM, it says you needed to go into settings --> system --> hardware keys to make it active, but under system in settings there was no option for that. I went through the entire settings menu and couldn't find anything. And then I realized I didn't have my contacts backed up to the cloud (or SIM, apparently) anyway, so i rolled back to my stock rooted ROM at least for now in order to be able to transfer those over to the new ROM. And then lol I discovered that about 2GB was missing from my internal SD space, not leaving me enough free space to move my CoPilot (GPS) maps back to the phone.
Finally I figured out the CWD backup folder (duh) was what was hogging the space, so I'm copying that over to my PC to save for a rainy day and then will get everything back to rooted stock from before the ROM flash. I'll have to give it another go on a different day. Mostly I wanted to get rooted, and then try to run 4.3 to get the off-line voice typing and easy screenshots, so I'm yet to figure that out if you have any ideas (I didn't actually test the screenshot function, so that may have been working).

For voice(and OK Google in Google now) you have to install offline voice data (The only file I have is en-US) you have to do it manually
Its in my new thread. Then try settings>language and input>google voice typing.
Also screenshots work by pressing
Vol. down + power
Example
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This is where you set custom buttons in KitKat but it should be in the same place . (I'm a late night person lol)
Anyways I hope you get it figured out the custom ROM life is sweet!

Yeah, it's enabled. At least as far as I can tell. It's installed, I have the microphone when I go to google search. But it's not on the google keyboard, as you can see. There isn't anything listed about it in settings.... I think I'm missing something. I've installed/updated Google Keyboard & Google Voice Search...

OK, so now when I go into Google Keyboard settings there is an option to "activate voice key" or something like that... and now I discovered if I hold on the comma key (with the "..."), the 2 options that popup are a microphone key and a settings key... the settings key takes me to the google keybaord settings, and the microphone key does... nothing. I verified in the settings that the voice key is checked.
See screenshots. And thanks for your time.

There's the crux of my problem, under input methods there is no "Google Voice Typing" present. I only have Google Keyboard (and Swype, which I installed just to have something to change the input to other than Google and back to see if I could get the mic). See screenshot.

Is Google Now(Google search) installed?

Fixed! Your screenshot did it. I had to install Google Search for the Google Voice Typing to show up... I guess I just assumed it was included with the ROM. Anyway, now I have the microphone key on my keyboard. Now I just have to extract the offline files to test that out.

If you do make sure you set the right permissions

Can you walk me through that using rootbrowser? I tried making all the permissions active and now Google Search force closes when I try to use it.

Have the phone slid open and quickly go to Google now settings and disable hotword then enable it again

I finally got my AOSP/CM look and on touchwiz.....fair warnings, pics in post

Well I finally did it, I got my phone with Touchwiz, but AOSP style/themed, mostly a themed look I guess you'd say
I had to buy a couple or 3 apps but it's well worth it to me, so this is not a free solution, but for me, I'm ok with it, because now it's paid for and I can customize it a lot!
(Note: I am not advertising for these apps just explaining what it does in case someone wants to know before buying.)
Apps I use are:
-(PAY APP) Widgets locker (for the aosp style lock screen),
It also has android style sliders, and Iphone slider style, and of coarse the AOSP circle. You can customize this locker a ton, and add widgets and shortcuts to the lockscreen as well, it's the most intensive customization locker app I've seen yet.
-(PAY APP) Nova Launcher Prime.
I bought the prime because 1: I love it a lot, and 2: the paid version lets me hide apps in the app drawer and I personally use that feature so, as well you can customize the icons to look how you want to in the drawer and on the homescreen as well....other than that free version works fine. but it's good
to support some companies, and this one I highly respect, because they are tried and true.
-A flashable zip that changes the Touchwiz messaging to the AOSP/CM style messaging
I am not sure how to revert back though, so if you flash it your stuck with it as far as I can tell, unless someone figures out how to flash back to stock. I also do not do MMS, but basic sms texting, so I am not sure if that works with this, but I read it did. I also do not remember where I got this file at, but I can host it if someone would like it, just let me know.
-(PAY APP) exDialer (for the dialer of coarse)
Well worth the money to pay for it, because you can theme it as I did to look like the ICS/AOSP/CM style dialer and contacts, paid lets you have more functionality, such as single click dialing,as apposed to 2 step dialing with stock CM/AOSP dialer, you can theme the dialer to a style you like, IE: ICS style, Iphone style, Touchwiz style, etc..., just overall good and has good customization for a dialer.
-Gallery apk file, has the CM/AOSP camera and Gallery in it. It's a simple apk you jsut install it. I can also host this if anyone is interested.
As for the underneath part like settings and such, they are still Touchwiz style but I am using an AIO add-on with 3minit and quicktoggles in it, and gives me the 3 windowed settings and I can also customize the toggles, which are also Touchwiz style.
Some of the internal stuff is Touchwiz and can't be altered. I freeze a few touchwiz things such as gallery, camera, and contacts, but for the most part you can't modify the touchwiz stuff without messing up the system. Overall though it looks and feels more like the AOSP/CM/Stock android look and feel to me.
You can get rid of the contacts, gallery and camera if you wish, but I'd recommend against it, I would just leave them frozen since you may need them later down the road for whatever reason....a good example of this is, contacts......I froze it, then had to un-freeze it because I found out the exDialer would not export/import contacts, so I just un-froze the touchwiz contacts, imported my contacts then re-froze it and it's working fine. if you ever have to export/import though you will have to un-freeze it again, so I'd highly recommend leaving it frozen as well as the other stuff, because it doesn't hurt the system performance or eat up THAT much space when it's frozen and you won't have them in the way of your modified stuff either such as the cm style gallery and camera.
All I really wanted was the base stuff, so there are also other added modifications you can get or do and are a lot simpler than what I haev done such as AOSP mail, AOSP keyboard, AOSP calculator, etc..etc....I just shot for the base of it.
I'm posting pics to see what you all think....let me know, I personally am happy with the results.
I tried to grab a snapshot of every aspect of the system, so hope I covered everything.
This is my lockscreen app I bought called Widgets locker.

I added shortcuts and widgets so you could see it all.
The winamp player is a shortcut, The circle is built into the app, and you can customize each of the 5 around the circle, the other things are app shortcuts.
Each one works within the lock screen so it never leaves to the home screen, only the app, and once you finish it goes directly back to the lockscreen. Maps even works with it, I thought that was kinda cool.
This is the modified Touchwiz recent apps clear section, by holding home button down, it comes in the AIO mod I have, and adjusted to use the stock touchwiz icons look.
You can of corse, swipe each one away, or clear all.
This is the stock touchwiz settings with the 3 sections, also in the AIO mod I am using, but it's still the touchwiz look somewhat.
The sliders on the wifi and 4g are kinda messed up, they don't work once you slide them once so the work around is to tap it and go into the settings that way.
Here we have the CM/AOSP style messaging I use, it's a recovery flashable zip.
As stated above once you flash it, I personally do not know 1: if MMS works, as I use only sms, and 2: I don't know how to revert back to stock messaging, so do this at your own risk......I have used this and for sms it works fine, no problems found on my end.
This is of coarse the desktop with a basic wallpaper of choice, and themed icons, using nvoa launcher.
Here is what I meant about some stuff being touchwiz, and can't be changed, not as far as I know of anyways.
Notice the toggles are touchwiz. I'm ok with that though.
This is nova launchers widget drawer
And this is of coarse nova launchers app drawer.
Nothing special here, just typical nova launcher stuff. I just posted them to see the look is all.
This is the CM/AOSP camera.
I froze the Touchwiz camera and gallery and I use this apk instead.
Everything works good on it, and it has panorama, camera, camcorder, and also the photosphere, all of it works fine without lockups or force closes.
This is the CM/AOSP style gallery, also in the apk file above.
The camera and gallery are both in the one apk file.
This is the exDialer app I was referring to. This is the Contacts part of it.
and of coarse here is the dialer part of it
exDialer is ICS themed.
All in all I am very happy with the results.

That's something I'm always trying to achieve. The perfect set-up. I think I get there, but I never do. I don't think I ever will. It's great that you have it like you want it. Good job. It looks great.

Yeah, just keep plugging at it. I spent almost a month of endless trying roms, reflashing to stock, back and forth, because touchwiz just works, and I always seem to have 1: 3g LOS or 2: GPS lock on issues, with most every rom out there. I've tried a ton of them, and always end up reverying back to stock touchwiz. In the meanwhile I was always lookign how to make touchwiz more asop/cm/stock android like, and this is about the closest I could ever come.
I did however find a glitch with this. Not so much a glitch but a I guess you'd call it a hangup.......the touchwiz dialer can't be frozen, becasue somehow it corelates and connects with the dialing process, therefor you can't freeze it or else the dial part of the phone doesn't work, not even with a dialer.....it has to have the stock touchwiz dialer in tact before any dialer apps will work....my gues is the app calls on something from the rom in the dialer part instead of actually being a stand alone dialer.
That being said, useing shortcuts from apps or even stock android, it brings up the dialer of touchwiz, not the dialer app.
Even though the dialer part and contats part looks what the app shows, it's still calling on the dialing and connecting part of the rom.
My guess is it's part of the framework, and a lot of work would have to be done to get it to work like aosp or even use the aosp dialer instead of the stock touchwiz on touchwiz roms, that's why no one has delved into trying to make aosp stuff work on touchwiz, to much working with the framework to be worth the effort.......of coarse if I knew ANYTHING about programming I'd give it a tackle myself, but as much as I try, and I have tried for years to understand the programming end of it, it all just goes directly over my head.
So this is about the closest one can come without actually having aosp/stock android on their phones via touchwiz. The ONLY thing really left to tackle is the dialer/contact part of touchwiz, everything else is taken care of, so I'm hoping someone somewhere can find a resolve to using aosp dialer on touchwiz rom, but I don't hold much in that thought sadly........come all this way and have messaging, camera, and gallery all usable in touchwiz, and not the dialer part.
I've seen a TON of posts about using the aosp dialer in touchwiz, so I'm sure if anyone gets a fix on it or a working version of it for touchwiz roms, it would be a major downloaded file. I'd be on that wagon in a heart beat

Unfortunately I always end up back on TouchWiz as of late. It does just work. I don't have to flash certain kernels or mod to get it working the way it should.
Props to all the devs that do what they do.
I use hangouts for all my messaging, nova prime, and just the stock lock screen. And Google keyboard because Samsung and Swype suck! Also have action launcher pro.

Yeah I do the same, always end up on Touchwiz, simply because it just works correctly.
This way I have now is still GC01 touchwiz, just using apps and such to get the aosp look and feel, so it's not really aosp, although it still gives the impression of it.

Hey, that's not fair you are cheating! The fun part of the AOSP game on our device is to find out what doesn't work or stops working when you need it most!!
J/K glad you finally found something you like

Wow dude you put a lot of wok into this. I have a suggestion about the phone but it might brick your phone. Let me try it myself...
I'm glad you got it working ^•^
[Edit]
Never mind!
Didn't work at all. The only way to do it is to install a kit Kat phone dialer and hide the other dialer ^-^

Heh, thanks, yeah I searched hi and low to try and get things the aosp way. I'm still itching ta put on an aosp rom, but every time i do I always get gps lock-on issues and/or 3g los issues. I think I've tried every rom out there, and every one (for me) has either the gps lock-on or 3g los signal, most of them have the gps lock-on issue, as apposed to the 3g los though, while some have both and some jsut the 3g los.
The 3g los is weird for me though, it's not a full blown los, it's more a flicker affect...it flickers in and out, other times it just gets lost in limbo, while the 3g signal still shows it's connected.
I worked on this setup about an hour in all I think it was, looking and searching and trying things out. I already had the AIO tweak, so that part was done, the hard part was finding a messenger, dialer and camera. Wish I could get the aosp dialer to work in touchwiz, that's all that's left really, other than the settings. If someone could jsut get the aosp/cm dialer to work in touchwiz, so many people would be on cloud nine.
I keep hoping that dastin will fix the 3g los issue, but it hasn't happened yet, otherwise I'd be on the kitkat version of his.
I also get the 3g los issue in cm10.2 now as well as hood pope, so not sure what's going on. I tried beanstalk and couldn't get the gps to work right, again the lock-on issue, revolt had the gps issue as well, Slimbean had the 3g and gps issue I think it was....One other one that everything worked on, started with an S< and was VERY basic aosp, but got pulled because the sorce I think it was.
I am (paycheck providing) next week on Friday upgrading to an s3, so I'm hoping that the gps lock-on issue works better on it than it does this s2.
Weird how some s2's have the issue, and others don't.....same company, same model/make, one has it other does not.
I guess that's why it's kinda hard to track down, is because while some with the EXACT same phone say "I have no issues with this or that" others say "I have this issue, or that issue"
Everything is touchwiz, except for the parts that are CM/AOSP.
Gallery, Camera, Messaging are all aosp/cm, dialer+contacts is an app, lockscreen is an app, the rest is the launcher and touchwiz.

Seems odd but even on the same chips therein lie minute differences that make them unique. So your device will be different and it will work in some Roms better than other. It also does not help that this phone's users seem to crave cutting edge over stability (my self included). So although we have kit Kat and nightlies and unofficial builds for everything we actually have nothing as stable as touch whiz. Mostly because it's funner to add features than to fix and debug. I'm currently working on an honest to god vanilla build for this device and I want to make it stable over feature rich since I believe xposed does that. But my I internet has be so poor lately ? it'd take me weeks to sync the aosp source... It'd be easier if I had a laptop ? but oh well. That's life. Good luck with your gs3 I want to upgrade as well.

To God be the glory, my Slim7 Nougat project finally works!
This is a very slimmed down version of Android Nougat, almost a "vanilla" experience with a few tasteful perks! By design, this ROM comes without root for those who wish to have a "pure" version without the entanglements that come with root, but it can also be easily rooted by using chainfire's SuperSU (see below). In it's default form, it is perfect for those banking apps, workplaces, and games that require you to have a phone without root. No need for tricks or hacks, all while having the latest and greatest Android on your Samsung Galaxy S4.
If you do decide to use root, then you will be pleasently surprised to know that Substratum and layering works with this ROM. While not every part gets updated, for the most part it functions quite well in my initial testing.
**** This is an UNOFFICIAL ROM. Install at your own risk! ****

OR
http://www.mediafire.com/file/w6a196xvq6712j3/supersu279.zip
Gapps link:
http://opengapps.org/
-Which I personally only tested Pico. Be sure to choose "Arm" and "7.1".
This Rom has been stable for me for the past few days, however, Nougat is new, so be prepared for some little hic-ups here and there. Be sure to follow these installation steps very carefully, as they may be different then what you are used to.
!!!FIRST BOOT TAKES LONGER THAN 5 EARTH MINUTES TO COMPLETE!!!
!!!IF YOU FLASH SUPERSU, IT WILL REBOOT SEVERAL TIMES DURING INSTALL, THAT IS OKAY!!!
Installation instructions:
-Download ROM, and if desired, SuperSU, AKLU kernel, and gapps, and put them on your phone's external storage.
-Reboot into recovery mode - TWRP (I personally installed this using 3.0.2-0).
-Backup what you had. (Just to be safe.)
-Wipe. (I personally wipe everything prior to flashing new roms, but at least do the basic wipe.)
-Install Rom.
-Install Gapps. - Optional
--> OPTIONAL - If you want to install SuperSU, let the ROM boot up once first, then go back to TWRP and flash SuperSU zip. If it is stuck in a boot loop continually (it boot loops 1 to 4 times normally) then go back to TWRP and wipe cache and try again.
-Reboot to system and enjoy!
-OPTIONAL - After first boot, then go back to recovery and install the AKLU kernel.
Code:
What works:
So far everything that I have tried works, such as
- Camera for pictures only!
--> See notes section about video recordings.
- Phone calls/receiving
- Data 2g/3g/LTE
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- PTP/MTP
- GPS
- WiFi hotspot
- Multi-Window
etc....
What doesn't:
- Video recording with the camera doesn't work right, see the notes section.
- Choosing to reboot the phone sometimes takes a loooong time. It may be better to Power off and then start the phone, which is faster for some reason.
-Let me know in the forums if you find other issues so I can work on fixing them.
This SlimRoms Nougat ROM was built for the JFLTETMO using modified LineageOS JFLTEXX trees. I have not tried this on any other device, but you are welcome to try it AT YOUR OWN RISK. It should flash on all JFLTEXX variants as well. Chime in if it worked on your device.
A huge thanks to the SlimRoms Project team!
Disclaimer: SlimRoms is not responsible for any damages to your device.
All of my work is completely available for any who wish to use or modify it. I didn't make SlimRoms, the device trees, or vendor blobs. I simply used and edited existing material. A huge thanks should go to those who actually created this stuff.

-->Updated security patch to Feb 5, 2017
-Fixed home button wake function. Now you can wake the phone with the home button.
20170117
-Synced with Slim source
-Added OmniSwitcher as optional switcher.
-Initial release!

Rom Notes, Pictures, Features, and Thanks!
Main Features:
-Merged with android-7.1.1_r13
-SlimDim, now with 100% more dimming
-SlimAction, Splits screen action
-SlimRecents, an alternative recents
-Notification log (longpress statusbar header)
-Kill app from notification (long pres app notification)
-Substratum support (if rooted)
-OmniSwitcher built in so the kill function works with or without root.

Using the camera for videos and pictures:
Currently, the camera only technically works for pictures. I am working on a solution, one may be provided by work from @side. However, as it is right now, there are two optional ways to record video.
-My S4Camera app. The latest version is in this github repository as well as the source code. I am leveraging root permission to allow you to record videos up to 3 minutes long, there is currently no audio. You can download that here:
https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser/S4camera_app
or
-Camu camera, an app on the Google Play Store can be used, which technically strings together photographs to make a video.
Neither of these are the solution, but they are workarounds until the camera issue is fixed. Thanks for your patience.
Multi-Window mode:
Included in this ROM is "screens" a nifty tool to set multi-window shortcuts to open both apps that you want at once.
If you do not use the screens app, you will (currently) need to turn on the Nav bar to allow you to multi-window, as long pressing the recents button does not currently put you into multi-window mode.
Open Source apps:
There are quite a few really good open source apps included in this build, such as:
Screens app
Browser app
Amaze file manager app
SatStat GPS app
QKSMS texting app
All of these great apps and more can be found at https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/. You can also download other great apps there like music players, games, and everything else you might need. The Fdroid app allows you to maintain up to date version control and simple downloading and installation of these apps and is a lightweight alternative to the Google Play Store. that is certainly worth taking a look.

Whoo its time! Downloading it now:good:

Thanks for the kind words, but it really was @side who fixed the video camera.
Unfortunately, I have not gotten it to work on Slim7 yet. There is a problem with the stream in Slim7, so I am investigating that still.
However, the baby is due any day, so I think it will have to wait a while.

There was a similar issue with video recording on XenonHD HTC M7, ljjehl was able to fix it a day or two ago. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...hd-5-0-2-beta1-27-12-14-t2986038/post70801111
Maybe you can talk to him and see how it was fixed.
He provides us with Snap camera, not sure what you're providing here with Slim.
My wife is still using an S4 (M919, TMO), that's why I'm lurking around these forums
I'd love to get her off Touchwiz 5.0.2, too old and too slow... And would love to get Substratum running on her S4 as well.
EDIT: The official site only has download links to MM, I don't see any N builds under any of the S4 variants.

My wife is still using an S4 (M919, TMO), that's why I'm lurking around these forums
I'd love to get her off Touchwiz 5.0.2, too old and too slow... And would love to get Substratum running on her S4 as well.
EDIT: The official site only has download links to MM, I don't see any N builds under any of the S4 variants.

Shpitz461,
Thanks, I will look into that.
As a side note, there are not any official builds for SlimRoms Nougat that I know of either. My build can be downloaded from post #1, but it is unofficial.

Many thanks ALU!
Which camera app is included? is there any way you can port the S4 Touchwiz camera?
And DUH, not sure how I missed the d/l link in the OP...
Thanks!

The current build has the snap camera but I tried both snap and camera 2 apps, and the problem is the same. I also tried some third party apps just to be sure, and they didn't work either, because the problem is in the framework.
Unfortunately no, we cannot port the tw camera, as that is proprietary closed source. Great thought though!

You and me both! When I get back to building, that is near the top of my to do list.
SlimRoms has always been one of my personal favorite builds, second only to Liquid Smooth and tied with Omnirom.

I flashed both RR and this SlimRom, and although I like both, I kind of prefer Slim. I'm a bit of a minimalist, so the closer to barebones I can get the better, then I add what I want. Along those lines, is there a way to remove the Google search bar? (I didn't install gapps, so not sure where it came from). And is there are a way to remove a couple other of the built-in apps (such as SatStat)?

Great questions, are you rooted or not? (Makes a difference for how to do that.)

For the Google search bar, I think you can turn it out like so:
Go to your home screen.
Hold your finger on an empty part of the screen until the options pop up.
Tap settings.
In the list, usually at the top, deselect search bar.
Hope that helps.

Since you are rooted, this is easy. There are tons of apps on the play store, Aptoid, or Fdroid, like system app remover, app uninstaller, link 2 SD, etc.
Technically, you could do it with the terminal or file browser in the /system folder, too, but if you are unfamiliar with that, I recommend that you use an app for that.

Installed this on my jfltecan and having a major problem. When I use the dialer to make a call, the screen shuts off and doesn't come back on, but I can hear the audio from the phone so the handset is still on. I have to do a battery pull or hard reset. Anyone else experienced this? I am using exDialer and Fongo (VOIP).
Edit: Seems like the phone becomes responsive again after a few minutes. Don't think this is specific to this ROM, I experienced the same thing with LineageOS. Not sure what to do here...

Fattest,
Other users of nougat rooms are complaining about VoIP apps, and Fongo has been mentioned quite a few times.
If you really need VoIP, I recommend that you stick with a marshmallow build until that gets sorted out.
Since it happens on multiple nougat ROMs, I suspect that either the device trees that we are using need pruning, or that these VoIP apps are not fully nougat compliant. (E.g poor implementation of the api's.)
However, I an willing to look into the problem if anyone will provide me with a log cat after making a VoIP call, along with a description of the problem, like you have here. The logs show me what android says the problem is, so I can troubleshoot.

Thanks for the reply Alaska. I did some more experimenting with roms and dialing apps and found the following:
- Not localized to Nougat, I installed Slim6 and I have the same issue
- Not specific to VOIP apps (also tried Viber and WhatsApp), I have the same issue with stock dialer and exDialer.
As soon as I dial out, the screen goes blank and neither home nor power button will wake it. Back and menu buttons are not active. After the call ends and dialer closes, the phone becomes responsive again. At first I thought this was a proximity sensor issue, and maybe it is, but I was previously on stock touchwiz LP 5.0.1 and didn't have this issue with dialers or VOIP. I haven't tried recalibrating or taking the phone apart to remove dust around the sensor. I'll upload a logcat later today.
Edit: Looking more like it's an issue with my phone. I installed slimLP 5.1.1 and same issue with the screen. I'm going back to my stock backup and hope that it's ok there as I need the phone working during the week. Will try again next weekend.
Edit 2: OK it was a proximity sensor issue. I used this app and recalibrated the sensor, now it's working fine in calls. Back to testing Nougat on my S4.
