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.

just in case

I just flashed this, so not much to say at the moment, but it works. I'll update this post as I use it more.
It'd be nice if you can get the CM10.1 keyboard. The stock keyboard doesn't allow long pressing for numbers and symbols.
Is it just me or are the keyboard clicking sounds different? Anyway, this thing is slippery fast. I like it.
I just restored back to CM10.1, but then I already missed the smoothness of this ROM. lol. Really enjoy this ROM. I hope you stay around.

Didint flash this based on using all the roms available right now, the biggest issue is wifi not reconnecting after sleep. I'm currently on jellybro. It's the most stable and reliable, well some nightly releases are better than others. The available oc kernal is not entirely smooth or bug free. So if you can somehow fix or create a rom with a good custom kernal, you have something going here.

I always feel like I'm setting up a tent in someone's living room when I go into a forum like that. So I start small and try to get a feel for it. It didn't seem like there was any lack of ROMs and I misread the couple comments I got I guess. Thanks.

Well, there are definitely a lack of ROMs on the N10. There may be a total of at most 10 ROMs (and I think that number is more than there really is). The N10 is a great device that isn't seeing the developer support that I expected it to see. Yeah, it's a tablet, but I was expecting to see much more variety for a tablet that a lot people consider to be the best Android tablet on the market. So, the lack of ROMs is disappointing, and when I see a dev like you whose fantastic work I've seen on the GNex venturing in to the N10 forums, I definitely welcome it and most certainly desire it.
Your ROM will definitely help the N10 developmental and consumer community grow, so seriously stick around!
Also, I watched Muzzy in German when I was in high school.

I was so confused when I saw MMuzzy ROM in the N10 thread. Thought I had clicked on the GNex thread. Haha.
I've been running your rom on my GNex for several weeks. Can't wait to flash this and see how it goes.

LOL I think I've watched about two episodes or so of Muzzy. I don't remember much but I just remember that there were a royal family of mice and that evil guy who clones the princess and my God, I wasn't even sure what I was watching at that point.
And yes, the N10 screen is absolutely great. I just wish the colors were a bit more saturated (a teeny bit more), but regardless, it's a great device.

Hey- don't give up on us yet! I'm a big fan of your GNex rom and have been looking for something like it on the 10. Have downloaded and flashed- so far so good. Will follow-up tomorrow with any issues after i've run it for a while...
Thanks again for the hard work!

I just notice Craig Gomez had a ROM in here. If I had seen that earlier when I was trying to decide I wouldn't have bothered. That's the ROM i'd run if I had a Nexus 10. He's helped me out countless times with all sorts of technical issues.

Haven't flashed yet but I'm right about to, its great to see another well known dev here on the N10 forums making us all a fantastic new ROM! I have heard only good things about you and your work mmuzzy, thanks for starting up here with us! I'm sure all us on the N10 forums will greatly appreciate your work into this build and will be excited to see future releases from you. Thanks again man!!

downloading now thanks for the great sounding rom. have your gnex rom on my wifes phone right now and about to rock this on my n10. im gonna wipe my internal "SD" as im being plagued with either not charging sometimes or tablet wont wake up. ive been loyally flashing PA's rom with every update and i think its time to try this bad boy out. as the others have stated, will post any discrepencies i find, if any.

I'm going to flash your ROM too! It looks to be exactly what I'm looking for: clean, fast, and stable. Until I really get a feel for my new Nexus10, I'm not ready to fight with some pre-alpha, nightly ROMs at the moment. Just wanna cruise on a buttery highway for a while! Your work is appreciated, keep it up

@mmuzzy did you get yourself a N10? Nice to see you here...

From previous Android 4.3 builds at around 99mb to 140mb for 4.4... What's the extra that is included?

So for anyone trying this, here's my results after a little trial & error
Latest twrp didn't flash, aborted installation, error 7, etc..... In the n4/mako threads the majority of users were having this issue (worked fine for me). twrp for mako has been updated, but still waiting on a manta update
In the meantime i went over to cwm recovery thread. Haven't used that in ages and it seems there may be issues with some of their updates in general. There are flashables available for the last several versions. Here's the one that worked for me:
Clockwork_MOD-6.0.3.8-Touch-manta.zip
edit: just now signing in, everything booted well....happy flashing!

although when using google's launcher, the keyboard pops up everytime i use the home button
and for those asking about features, most are not available....have a little patience and we will see them arrive in time. the slim team has much planned (or so i hear )

Went ahead and no problems so far (FCs with a couple of apps, but I guess that's to be expected coming from 4.3). Yeah, the keyboard popup with the Google launcher is annoying as hell. Went directly to Nova. And I hope TWRP gets updated soon. Not a big fan of CWM.
Edit: CWM recoveries are written to the system partition, correct? So they're not accessible with any ROM/Nandroid management app?

Is wifi, sound and bluetooth working or are we going to need to wait for the 4.4 binaries? Either way I'm looking forward to seeing how 4.4 progresses on the Nexus 10.

can confirm all work just fine here...only issue i've seen (other than that keyboard) is netflix/youtube aren't playing nice....they open but won't actually play anything
could be something i restrored, gonna wipe/flash all over again, no tb & I'll report back when i get the chance

How is the performance and smoothness overall? Compared to 4.3? Is it worse, better but not noticeable, better and totally awesome!

how about you just give it a shot yourself?

OK, fully wiped again. No mods, only signed in. YouTube isn't playing back for me. Only app I downloaded was Netflix, didn't work either. Not complaining, it's early, just thought if give a heads up for everybody. Otherwise the performance is excellent. Can't wait for this to move forward :good:

Car vs driver said CM has a couple of patches that should enable it in the near future and I assume it will be showing up in Slim shortly thereafter.

Initial Impressions
This is just too tempting, so I'm going to play around with this tonight. A few things so far:
1. Have to say the boot animation is just too sweet!
2. I just ran ART and for the first time on a 4.4 ROM it went smoothly (that alone is impressive). I have tried the dialer, voice commands, camera (did not try to record yet, sorry!), Play, and settings with no FCs. Next I'm going to restore my apps from TB and see what happens. Installing apps does take longer as expected with ART but they open lightning fast.
3. After installing and setting up, the ROM froze up a couple of times. After ART installed, so far so good.
4. Those who might be wondering, the ROM can't be themed as of yet but I can live with that if things work & play well together.
I'll report more stuff after I've had a chance to use this and post a few screenshots in a bit. This is a very nice alpha build that could be labeled as beta. No disrespect but @prbassplayer & the SlimTeam seem to be ahead of the game on getting 4.4 going for this phone IMHO. Each build I have tried for CM11 so far has been a nightmare from the get go, and keep in mind I love CyanogenMod as a ROM in general. I'm sure ultimately however they will have 4.4 perfected though. This is no easy task to say the least!

is there any guidelines as how to enable ART? each time i tried, the phone kept updating all the apps, and then f/c repeatedly all the process..

With this ROM it's the same process, just enable it in developer options. The phone will reboot and you will get the usual "android is upgrading, optimizing apps". Takes a while as OP states but things are good after. Like I said, ART just hasn't work on CM11 for me so this a great. Now the next question will be if my normal user apps are going to work. Course I know if one doesn't, it's not the ROM, it's the app's inability to adapt to ART.

[ROM][I317/t0lteatt][KitKat/4.4.4][UNOFFICIAL]CarbonROM[Final](11/22/2014)

I have decided to build an Unoffical build of CarbonROM specifically for the t0lteatt/Samsung Galaxy Note 2 I317. Information about CarbonROM can be found in the official thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2640030 or at the CarbonROM website at https://carbonrom.org/. This is just a build from the official source at https://github.com/CarbonDev with a few of my own edits to allow it to build for the t0lteatt device tree. If you have any questions, or issues, please post them here, or try the official build available at the CarbonROM website at https://carbonrom.org/downloads/?d=t0lte/nightly. I am not a developer or maintainer, but I will try to assist you with any errors you may encounter.
I would just like to say thank you to Team Carbon for developing such a great ROM, everyone who have contributed to the project, and all other great projects which may have a part in making the ROM what it is.
Flashing instructions:
Download both the ROM and a GAPPs (I use PA Gapps, but other GAPPs such as Slim Gapps will likely work as well)
Reboot into recovery.
Full wipe: Wipe cache, dalvik, wipe data/factory reset, clean to install a new rom.
Flash ROM and GAPPs.
Reboot into system.
Enjoy your new Carbon experience.
Downloads:
ROM: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=21020

Have a good one!

Happy to give it a go...
Carbon is a top pick of mine for AOSP...
Many thanks for building this....g

This is a very good ROM, everything works smooth ...thank you

Not really sure why I cant flash this. I'm on twrp 2.8.1.0, T-Mobile note 2.

Unable to flash also on twrp 2.8.0.0 and 4.3 bootloader
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Free mobile app

I haven't been able to find any definitive reports of problems with flashing from TWRP 2.8. I use Philz and haven't had any issues with flashing this, or any other ROM. Have you had this issue with any other ROM? Have you tried flashing the official t0lte CarbonROM? My only other thought, right off hand, is to try a different recovery, but I know that isn't always such a good option. I'll keep an eye out for a solution and I'll let ya know if I find anything. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Have a good one!

This ROM is fantastic! On the official builds any theme would cause my System UI to crash multiple times, but not this one!
If you're looking for any requests/suggestions, I have a few:
-Search in Settings
-Disable Menu and Back button haptic feedback when they are disabled (I like it on the navigation bar)
-The battery icon doesn't seem to want to work with Tinted Status Bar Fix: Use Flat Style Colored Bars
-Apps like Reddit Sync don't take account for the navbar, and have the comments behind it, keeping me from reading/interacting
I think that's it! Thank you so, so, much for getting me a great daily driver!

I cant remember if it has an option or not but the ringtone only rings once then vibrated till i pick up i want it to ring always is there and option

Thanks for that synopsis. One of the main reasons I stopped using carbon was because of system ui crashing. About the boot this piece up! Thanks!
In Samsung the word Note 2 is pronounced t0lte.

Carbon source bug I believe...
Try downloading a ringtone of your choice using zedge...or any other free ringtone app....then set your new tone under settings...
That should fix you up...
I usually delete the on board tones anyway...since most of the choices are rather plain to me...
Good luck....g

It is my own ringtone from zedge I used the system ringtones and it works perfectly hmm must be SD card thing

Looks like this may be a one off build. Team Carbon is currently working on porting Lollipop to their various devices, so they've put a code freeze on any KitKat commits other than bug fixes. Only 4 merges were made prior to the code freeze, but these merges don't seem to be overly important for our devices, so they'd likely not be noticeable even if a new build was made. Also, there are reports that subsequent changes to repositories may have broke the build for KitKat, at this time, anyways (I can probably fix this in my build, if necessary). I'll keep an eye on gerrit for any useful bug fixes being merged, but until that happens (if it happens), I'll likely not do anymore builds for KitKat.
Have a good one!

I guess I was wrong about a one off... My final unofficial build of CarbonROM has been uploaded. Admittedly, this build is a minimal update and you may not notice any obvious changes, but there may be some changes behind the scenes that may correct an obscure issue, or not. As always, if you have any issues from a dirty flash, please try a clean flash before asking for help. Thank you.

It would appear that this is supposed to be a "feature" included by Google. In order to remove the "feature", Google's devs would need to decide to remove it. There's been a fair few theories on how to disable the "feature", but none of them seem to actually work, so it would seem if we decide to continue using Chrome, we'll have to deal with it for now.

I just used xfloatingwindows from xposed and black listed chrome and it seemed to work. One more question and I think I've got everything all set. At first I set an app to open when I swipe it left in the notification panel. How do I disable that feature? Overall this ROM is pretty damn smooth, I like it a lot

Been searching and would like to potentially give this ROM a try. Can't find out or not, does this have heads up notifications?

I would wait to install any Android 5 rom on anything. Its VERY Buggie on every Nexus device that has it.. So i would assume atleast wait until 5.1 or above is Release and see how it goes. My Nexus just freezes for no reason. other times it gets so slow its nearly not usable ..Yes its on a STOCK Factory image from google.

Been running this one for about 12 hours:

Using the 12/12 update.
no major trouble, only downside so far are no rear camera, and screen cast doesn't find my Roku, not sure if that's a bug or not.
Missing some of the customary CM personalization, but for an early rom, seems pretty stable.

Weird. I keep hearing that but my Nexus 5 is smooth and fast and totally trouble free. I sideloaded the OTA back in November when it was released and haven't had a lick of trouble at all. I'm also totally stock, not rooted, no custom recovery.

I Think its some kind of sleep or cpu throttle Bug.. I can be using it just say on google plus. All of the sudden the screen will freeze . Sometimes go back to lock screen. Only fix is to push power button on and off to toggle the screen a few times then its ok.. It Does seem to Run apps faster But seems the UI Is a bit slow.. I Thought i had a bad flash so i re- downloaded from GOOGLE And fastboot flashed totally stock same outcome.. It Could be my Device who knows. But i have seen others complain as well. Lately i do not use my nexus 7 much anyway. I have a note 10.1 2012 Version .
Other thing I do not like the new drop down notification thing. The two sided one was MUCH Better. I think the old list type settings menu was better as well. Someone needs to remind google we are not Children or icon yuppies.
Anyway i think my comments here are off topic as this is about the note 2. My note 2 is running stock rooted 4.3. I just see no need for custom rom on it at this time...
Thanks for your Opinion. as said maybe its JUST Me..

Thanks for the tip Was just coming to take a crack at that kernel, then I noticed the new rom by Team UB so I decided to give it a go. It's a decent, well rounded rom, and the rear camera works.
That brings my issues down to one, still can't throw screen to Roku, but I can't blame the developers for that.
