Noticing a few problems. With the new pac
Cm10 themes don't stick for the status bar. Switching menus causes colors to default green.
SD card randomly unmounting. I have reverted back to cm7 due to this. SD card never has problems on cm7.
And dpi changing only works in Landscape.
Quick question, any chance we can get a contacts app with facebook fix integrated?
Thanks

I'm in the same boat as you in regards to the dev. forum. I had a small issue as well and I'm not sure if it was just me or what. When I flashed PAC3, I used the goo.im app to find the appropriate gapps for the phone, and it (several times) found the 4.1.2 version from October 2012. This caused the process, com.google.startup (I think) to crash as well as the setup wizard. The only fix was to pull the battery, boot into recovery, and start again with the 4.2.2 gapps in his thread. Maybe a quick note in the OP about not using goo.im or fix for goo.im to find the correct gapps would be helpful. I figured goo was third party so its probably not an issue Chilly can fix.
All that said. I've been DDing your roms for a couple of months now and they work wonderfully. No lag of death, good battery life, and all the features as advertised. As soon as I can post in the dev forum I'll be sending many thanks your way. I very much appreciate your dedication to the dinc2!

In order for a theme to stick it nerds to be aokp as well as cm10.1. Try the cobalt themes. Sticky real good.
The SD card issue is easy. Its the read ahead speed set at boot. Make sure set at boot is checked. Worked for me.
FB doesn't like open source platforms so much. They like to stick with sense. I know sucks to be us. As far as I know no way to get em yet.
Don't trust goo its in the op which gapps to use n even has a link.
Hope this helped.

Thanks to both of you for your work with this device. It's awesome that a 2 year old phone is still getting some love. I just wanted to let people know what was going on because I do some app development and am pretty well versed in the world of android, despite the fact that I've never developed roms or anything like that. I've read everything in the thread and it was just a bit unclear that goo might not do the job, and for others that don't realize to grab the gapps from the op, I just wanted to clarify. Thanks again for both of your great work and dedication to this device! :highfive:

So I am running MIUI 1.5.13 and I am having nothing but problems. It worked well enough for a bit but now I am getting force closes every thirty seconds. To the point where it is unusable. On top of this, streaming media does not want to work correctly. IE, google listen is playing like ****, as is audio galaxy. Has anyone else had this problem? I have reflashed three times. Twice after doing a format with caulkins format all. Any insight that anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.
Did you do a full wipe using amon 2.3 works great for such. What kernel you using? Stick to stock one that it came with see how it does . Then if u want try something different flash a kernel if everything is stable.
Redownload then reflash, you may have a bad download. Don't just use the format all, wipe too. I wipe everything except the SD card and battery stats. Or, if you're going to redownload anyway, download Stiff's version of 1.5.20. I just downloaded it last night, I'll be flashing it as soon as I put the final touches on my theme.
Steaming works fine for me, by the way.
(from... Evo/MIUI/Tapatalk)
I will try the above and see if that works. I am using the stock kernel currently. Strangely it seems to have stopped. I was running beautiful widgets and I just took it off (just the widget) and changed the vm heap to 40 restarted then changed it back to 64 restarted again and it is working. I was using 1.5.20 for a hot minute but I had a problem with a lot of it being in Mandarin still. Is there a good thread to check out for the best way to theme this rom? Thanks for all of the help!
I am using clockwork is amon ra superior? Everything I have read seems to say it is just a personal preference, but my noob ass is open to any suggestion.

Theming is super easy, especially if you have a base to start with. The theme I'm working on at the moment is mostly taken from other places then edited the way I want. A few pieces were actually made by me, but the framework was pulled from one theme, I'm using Aelous icons at the moment, but nothing else from that theme. I may change my mind and steal Raadius's status bar icons if I don't like the ones I'm using right now. I've themed the apps myself, using the official dark theme as a base. Even though I've switched back to WidgetLocker, I am using my own stuff for the lockscreen, just for those times that it pops up.
There are some themes over on Miui.us as well as the MIUI dev forums. I pretty much taught myself by using a complete sample theme and pulling the apks I wanted to theme - systemui, framework-res, phone, mms, etc. If you just want icons, they go in the icons folder of the mtz and should be named their package name and in png form. I'm sure there's a guide somewhere, but I don't know one off the top of my head. If you do find one, make sure it's fairly recent since they've been making a lot of changes to the UI.
Also, if you weren't using the miui.us English version of 1.5.20, try that one.

Can you explain the difference between format all and wipe?
I am helping a friend with his Droid Incredible. I have an Inspire 4G and have become very comfortable flashing ROMs on my phone. When I flash a new ROM, I boot into recovery and choose all of the format options that are available, then I mount the SD card and transfer the ROM to the SD card. Next, I install the ROM and reboot. This has worked great for me.
My friend used Urevoked to root his phone and installed MIUI using this same method and he is having a lot of issues with force closes. In some apps, like Dropbox, he can log in but it never transfers data. My research to help him out let me to this thread and then your post intrigued me.
Maybe I don't have an understanding of what is meant by a full-wipe. I thought the method I did with my Inspire was providing that task. Can you help me understand further.
I did pass the information about Amon Ra to him and he may try that.
Thanks,
Roger
Hi Guys,
Been an HTC guy, all my Android life. Thinking of picking up my first Sammy with the Sprint's version of Note 2. Just had a couple of questions about software and ROMs:
1. Are you guys expecting a Port or Updates from the new S4, coming to the Note 2? If so, when? Or if they've been ported already, can someone point me to the ROM or mods for those?
2. Been familiar with Sense and AOKP/CM10.1 for some time now. Never used TouchWiz. What are most of you driving with here? TouchWiz light and snappy enough with balance of pretty to be used as your Daily Driver, or are you guys AOKP kinda guys here as well? Either way, can you make some ROM recommendations for a new guy? I'd like to experience the Sammy experience, before moving on to AOKP, if possible?
Any other tips you can give me before I switch? I will be switching from an EVO LTE with CarbonROM running on it. Thank you for your time.
It's pretty much a 50/50 when it comes between TouchWiz or AOSP. There is already an s4 system dump.
For Rom recommendations I would suggest if you want TouchWiz stay on stock that's my opinion. And if you want AOSP is suggest CyanogenMod.
PAC rom is good too but for me I love simplicity. So that's why I'm currently on stock right now or CyanogenMod

I was an HTC guy before coming to Sammy. I can say I wasn't all that thrilled with Touchwiz, compared to Sense.
I ended up ditching Touchwiz for Nova Launcher and a couple extra widget paks (HD widgets for clock and Android Pro Widgets for Timeline aka Friendstream and Contact favorites).
I am very happy with this combination.

I was the same at first, but in the long run, I actually Prefer TW to Sense. By miles. Stock TW is (usually, with perhaps a small bit of configuring) faster, and makes more intuitive sense (haha).
AOSP is of course loverly, but TW has a few features w/o totally obscuring Android that I think are ok, even worth it.
Thank you everyone for the response guys!
Just was wondering that I should try out TW for a bit, since I have never used it daily before. The gimmicky features from Sammy on the S4 though... like the Camera app and gestures and eyes thing for scrolling... do you guys think those will be/can be ported to the N2?
Thanks again for everyone's input... getting excited! Just not sure if the N2 will be too much of a phone for me to hold LOL!

Those are coming to our device either this month or next month. And before this device, I as a big time rooter, but I say stay stock, it has everything you could ever need.

I too switched from HTC for 3 years.. And I can say I haven't been happier!!! Tw does take some getting used to after sense, but none the less its every bit as good as sense IMO... If I want a tweaked stock tw ROM, I suggest checking out the lab rats ROM.. Its pretty cartoonish stock, but the updater is chocked full of themes and different apps. Its been an amazing ROM. I used to be a flashaholic til the rats came my way. Not to mention they gotta be the friendliest, goofiest, most entertaining group of devs I've seen yet and as for requests, if its possible its usually pretty quick turnaround and they enjoy all they do probably even more than we do!!! Give it a shot and I can almost bet you will keep coming back to the lab!! Of course this is just my opinion, but there are many more who share it!! As well as, of course, some that don't..

Everyone,
Thank you for your wonderful responses. I just brought home the N2 and it's a MONSTER !!! LOL!
I do want to stay TW for a bit though... so can you guys recommend the most UP TO DATE, and MOST CUSTOMIZEABLE TW ROM with hopefully the LEAST about of bugs and MOST amount of speed? (LOL! I know, talk about Eutopian demands, right !?)
An example of that ^ from the EVO LTE world is Team Venom's ROM...
I will Root though,because I need apps like Titanium Backup to fully set me up on the new device...
Thank you again for all your help! Looking forward to loving the Sammy world !
And oh, for the folks saying that GS4 camera and other features are coming to N2... do you think there will be some features that will NOT work on the N2 for Hardware or Kernel (firmware) issues? Thanks again!

Thanks again for the responses guys. Tried my first few ROMs last night... JellyBomb... LabRats... Nice ROMs, but they are too "modded" and touched for my taste...
What ROM can you recommend that's kinda Stock, debloated, keeps the original spirit of Stock at it's heart, with performance enhancements?
Is Synergy a good one?
Also... what's the later build? M7 or something after that? I am forgetting the name right now ...

Hey sparytrainor,
Thank you for your response. Per your recommendation, I tried the Lab Rats ROM, but found a NUMBER of issues with them:
1. I didn't like the annoying PnB Bootanimation, and tried changing it via their built Customization app, but it just booted into Recovery and did nothing ...
2. The kept prompting an update, annoying
3. Flashlight toggle didn't work
Just seemed way too customized to me, without a whole lot of value for those changes.
I am now trying Stock MC2, Rooted and DeOdexed, but I can't seem to boot in. TWRP says, it needs to fix Root permissions at the end of the flash and in both cases (Fix or Not), the phone reboots and sits at the Samsung GN II screen...? Am I missing some firmware requirements here?
When I get that ROM going, I hope to debloat it with TB, and find ways to tweak it a bit, like find a Battery mod or something maybe...?
Thanks again for everyone reading my thread!

OK, in the updater, go into settings and select reboot type and select the recovery u use. This will fix the reboot and install not working.
Also there are fixes in the updater for all the other issue u mentioned with the ROM other than the flashligt , which I use one from the play store anyway..
Check out the updater website for previews of the mods and themes.
http://updater.team-nocturnal.com/labrats/
And as for the other issue, mine says it needs to fix root sometimes as well, but I swipe to fix and everything goes fine. If you didn't update to mc2, u may need to. Here's a link for that as well..

Thank you again, friend, that seems to have worked !
Couple of follow up questions:
1. In the LabRats ROM, if your Swipe to Capture function working?
2. Is there a "safe list" available for the apps I can uninstall to de-bloat?
3. If you run into a faster, less bulky ROM, please share with me , thanks!
Actually that goes for everyone else, as well. Please share your thoughts and inputs if you happen to have some cool ROM recommendations for TW ROMs that are the lightest and the fastest an least buggy !
Thanks guys!
You'd have to search around for a list of what can and can't be removed.. Or u can do like I did and make a backup so if u remove something that breaks the ROM, u can restore ur backup in twrp and be right back where u started..
Swipe to capture has to be turned on in settings. By default it is off.. I used it to take this screenshot for u..
As for a debloated ROM, you might do well with nowiz aosp in development section..can't get much more debloated than that..

Couple of questions bro:
1. What's the eye icon in your screen shot in the notification bar? I never get that...
2. What theme are you using? Link to that theme and other cool ones like it? (I love Red themes )
3. As for the swipe to screen, I've had the right settings enabled, but for the life of me, I cannot get that feature to work ... Even tried it on a friend's stock GS3, nothing. Saw videos on YouTube as well, mimicking the same thing, still no go ... wonder what's up?
As always, much appreciate your kindness and help !
We can help a lot more if you post in our lab rats thread.
I removed about as much as I could without complaints. I personally would remove more, but I wanted to keep the users happy. I would remove s voice, email, calender, Google search, Google now, voice recorder, and voice search. Themes are in the updater and screen shots are on our Web site. All PATB can be removed via the updater.
The eye is smart stay that you must turn on. Flashlight works perfectly fine for everyone else as well as swipe to capture.
Thank you sparytrainor!

Being that I'm a noob (<10 posts), I can't post this in the actual ROM thread (mods, please move if you deem it appropriate).
I wanted to ask if there was a way in Google Edition 4.3 to change the clock settings to *NOT* display the hour in bold font?
Is that functionality available and I'm missing it in the settings?

As far as I know you can't change the look and feel of the widget in 4.3, however you can always install Cyanogenmod cLock widget where you can customize it. Hope this helps.

Whenever you get a chance can you please let me know how's CM 10.2 working for you so far? I mean can that be used as a daily driver with major things (GPS, Bluetooth, NFL, camera etc) working without any issues. If so please let me know which nightly did you flash.
Thanks.

So far, CM 10.2 is rock-solid. I flashed The Sept 5 Nightly. Reason being - Friday gives me 2 days if something doesn't work.
I tried AOKP (too many options for me -- never thought I'd say that) and both Virgin and 'stock' GE (4.3) ROMs (a bit too stock for me).
I have so far set up email (GMail and Work using K-9 + Invitation Processor) and customized some options/appearance (cLock is da-shizznit). The camera works perfectly. I have not set up Bluetooth and not used GPS, yet, but will try both tomorrow on my way to/from work. One thing that I still need to figure out is the file-system layout inside Android (i.e. /storage/0 vs. /storage/legacy, etc...) as I'm apparently using 7.4GB out of 9.6GB available. This is probably because the stock T-Mo version left most of its guts behind and/or I incorrectly cleaned the device after having flashed all the ROMs.
One thing that I've noticed (with all the ROMs, except stock T-Mo) was that when you press the power button to lock/shut-off the screen, it ends up shutting off like an old-school TV. With the stock version, it would go dark seamlessly.
Regardless, I really enjoy having this phone now that I flashed CM on it. The fact that they provide an 'update-CM' option directly inside the settings is awesome in its own right. I'll update this thread once I give GPS and BT a run (can't promise I'll run TV apps on it, though -- that's not my cup-o-tea).
Best!
if you find certain things to be a bit buggy on CM, give Virgin Rom another try. the hardware elements of the phone work flawlessly. in an ideal world, someone would use Virgin Rom as a base and "Cyanogenize" it so that more things were customizable, such as Quick Setting toggles. CM is great, but the nightlies don't have the stability that the GE Roms have, obviously.
Thanks for your inputs...I guess back up of your old Roms may be eating up your internal space (if you have backed them up )...the old tv animation is the crt animation which Google introduced in ICS 4.0

Aaah! Good to know (about the TV animation).
I haven't backed up my old ROMs, but I'll definitely investigate space usage once I find some time.
Tested GPS and BT this morning: played a few songs over the car radio streaming over BT - awesome.
GPS is working good, too. I get a lock within 10 seconds of starting any app requiring GPS.
Thanks to all!

Even I flashed the RC2 last night. Using it for a few hours only, but it's rock solid as you mentioned.

SlimKat Android 4.4 for the T Mobile Galaxy S4[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]This thread has been created for people to share issues,
question and help
while using SlimKat 4.4 for the T Mobile Galaxy S4[/SIZE]
PLEASE make sure to thank the entire Slim Team for their dedication to this ROM
Please do not clutter any Development thread with non related development chatter
*
I am not the developer for SlimKat, SlimBean, Slim Fast, Fat Boy Slim, or anything else with Slim in the title.
This is NOT a development thread and as such is designed to be a little more noob friendly than a development thread. Please don't hessiate to ask any questions you have here, but please do try to search first to see if there is a known sollution to your issue before posting a new question about it.
If you have development related bug issue, send an bug report to the Slim team. See post 2 for instructions.
Please see this note from the Slim development team and PLEASE take it to heart!
Please note: SlimKat and KitKat in general is in an early stage. Still some apps are not compatible and still some devices have to fight with smaller issues on the other hands a lot devices are already quiet stable. Whatever please keep in mind that this builds are labled for a reason as beta builds. As a lot slim user know we only tag our builds stable when they are already 100% stable and all features are back. But you will be surprised how stable it is already

Indivudal apps need to be tweaks to run on KitKat. If you have a favorite app that doesn't work, check with the developer of that app first to see if it runs on 4.4 before asking why it doesn't work here. (If it was last updated in February of 2012 or something like that, it hasn't been tweaked for KitKat.). In short, it's probably not the rom's fault.
As of December 8th Blk_Jack is back on XDA with a new thread for Slim Kat!
Click here to view it
That is a development thread. Keep your posts there development related. That does not mean "How come my phone no boot?" or "Thx for this ROM iz smooth like butta!". That means specific issues tht haven't been reported 900 times previously. Search that thread for a similar post to yours BEFORE posting!!!
Reporting Bugs:
The Slim Team has a very specific way they ask that bugs be reported. You can do it right through the bug report feature of the ROM. But do it this way...(This is right from the Slim site. It is the best way to make errors known to the Slim developers)
When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist. The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.
1. Make a nandroid backup.
2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways, 3A and 3B, depending on what kind of problem you're having.
3A. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.
3B. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.
Now when you're done with either 3A or 3B proceed with the following:
4. Now reproduce the bug (if possible more than once). After you reproduced the bug go into settings and SlimCenter and click on Bugreport. A bugreport.zip will appear on your sdcard in a directory called Slim.
5. Attach this zip in the correct thread along with your report. Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).

I know the device maintainers have been testing the S4 builds for a couple of weeks now and making improvements among their team. So you're not getting an early Alpha release here or anything.
The maintainer for the international S4 is very active in the i9505 forums and has been talking about SlimKat for a while, saying how stable it already is. That's pretty standard for the Slim team. They do not putz around with releasing buggy builds.
That said I'm sure it's not perfect yet. SlimKat isn't going to be 100% error free just yet and isn't going to help you create sustainable cold fusion or anything like that (yet...). So be prepared for a little wonkiness early on. But if history is any indicator, you can probabyl expect a really nice experience from from teh start.
Running good so far!! Missing some things from SlimBean that I really liked but being in beta they will eventually come. Will be my DD assuming I don't have any issues.

What do you see is missing so far? (I haven't even flashed it yet. I won't have the time for another 5 hours until I get home from work and put my daughter to bed. But I'm drooling with anticipation!)

The main things are all the status bar tweaks (hiding battery and signal bars), no theme engine, quick settings are missing a few things, widgets on the lock screen. All I can think of right now.
Still a very solid rom though. Currently will be my DD.

You can enable the widgets for your lock screen. Only bug I'm confronting is that NFC doesn't turn off some times. I have to click it a couple times through the quick toggles. Besides that, I get FC's with gapps but that's been mentioned before.

No theme engine? What are we?
ANIMALS!? What's next, do we have to eat our young?!
I kid! I kid! I understand it's a beta. I'm just messing around. It is funny though, I've gotten so used to my orange themed Androids that its a shocking concept to think I might have to use the standard blue for a week! The horrors! :laugh: (Again, I'm kidding. If anyone takes this seriously relax)
I do look at people who love TouchWiz and I can't figure out how they put up with not being able to change the colors. This is like the single greatest feature in AOSP ROMs to me, even more than all the actually important tweaks that make AOSP run so well.

There is already an update!
It's called Beta 1.1 Weekly and there is no changelog included with it so I imagine it's just some upstream updates and tweaks since yesterday and not a lot of major improvements. But an update is an update!

So far the beta builds give me trouble booting. I get hung on the splash screen a lot. It akes a bunch of chances to get it to boot. It always eventually works though.
Here's a list of what I've found is missing so far...
Transparent status bar
Dark Slim
Theme Engine
DPI changing in settings (Can probably still do it in build.prop)
List scroll animations
Probably more...
But it's all superficial stuff like this. The 'under the hood' type stuff all seems to work well.

I think that any KK gapps should work, so perhaps it is sufficient to add a link to gapps in OP?
I tried quite a few gapps packages on different devices, and these are the ones I like best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2547250, as it allows to choose which gapps to install and/or remove. I usually prefer a minimal installation and then add gapps that are available from Google Play store (e.g. gmail, calendar, maps etc).
Sure, it is possible to manually delete from /system/app but it is nice to begin with a minimal clean installation, and avoid having stuff that doesn't work on our device anyway, such as photosphere, for example.
I think PA have several sets of Gapps to cater to different flavors as well: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942

I tried briefly last night, it booted, I tried with PA gapps (full) and had the google keyboard malfunction, so I didn't get far. I read that is an issue in other CM11 roms, and that the PA MODULAR gapps is the one to use due to the google keyboard conflict. I'll try it again on the next install. If anyone is flashing this, in the meantime, give that one a shot, it's in the link above.
The screen density (if that's the right term) is really tiny. Changing to 'large' font sizes under settings helped, along with changing lcd density to 200 in build.prop.
Thanks! And stay healthy Keifus.Rahn, hopefully building roms is theraputic and not stressful for you, otherwise, take KitKat's advice and 'have a break' for a while!
Thanks guys for the get well I had a rom up and working perfect last night but with my luck i received a email from a guy needing help with a whatsup app of a nokia well it ended up being a bad virus that was in every file folder I had so i had to remove everything to family photos and now starting from scratch im not going to post anything that may be a threat to the community so after i get threw re installing everything im going to get back after it and hopefully have something up by tomorrow eve. Ive already gave heads up to mike about the issue And a Heads up to you guys if you receive a email regarding help with any kind file bak,apk anything do not open and have them contact you threw your xda mailbox so if it is any kind of malicious files Ect XDA will be able to take care of the issue.

The OP did not compile or specify a set of gapps that work. It sounds like you need to read more of this thread. There is enough info that you should not need to have made this post.

Thank you for your productive comment on this. I am asking this question is not just for my benefit, but also for other members benefit as well. I, as one, can not test all the Gapps posted on this forum to see which Gapps works and which doesn't work. The more people test flashing Gapps the better and we can narrow it down to a specify one. I have read enough in this forum and have flashed countless devices, so don't tell me that I need and neednot to read. Off the record, I have flashed and a beta tester for more than 30+ devices.

Just flash any gapps- as long as they are for KK. Why do you think there has to be a specific particular set of gapps that works for our device?

Cause they usually are? I agree with him. Not everyone have the patience to try every gapps to see which works best
