nova launcher (default) and apec launcher same problem. :(
if free RAM is 150MB, will be like that, the system automatically kill the launcher when it was a check keep mmry in setting.
here is my observation
for apex launcher I've always had launcher redraw problem with every rom
for nova, when i used nova beta with slimsaber it got killed a lot so i reverted to the lastest stable version of nova which will stay in memory and redraws happens

When I'm holding home button, it shows me around 650MB RAM used. When I enter apps in settings menu, it shows me only 480 used RAM.

@fusionjack hi bro, hav been using ur custom slimbean n it's really good, and tbh, this is the only aosp rom that I can run every games smoothly (like Fifa14 for instance) :p. Anw, how about 3.0.101 kernel man? i haven't seen any around here. Tell me if I can do anything to port it like I did for my galaxy S 4G as I'm still a new noob in here :p. Thanks for ur work :).

Besides the RAM used for apps, there's also RAM used for caches n other things as well :)

disable the 'wifi scanning always available' in wifi advance settings. it is enabled by default in 4.3.

He is gonna recommend and flash for his friends too...

Thanks for the Super SABER awesome ROM :good::good::good::good::good:

Everything is nice and dandy with this rom. Its super smooth n super stable.
What I don't get is, why can't it play 720p videos without stuttering. I can play same video file even 1080p videos with touchwiz based roms. But not with saber . I haven't tried it with any other cm based rom.
If its a cm thing, then I am curious why ? Lack of proper drivers from samsung ?

Almost perfect Rom

One thing I cannot accept is the volume of the inbuild earphone.
What is wrong with it in this Rom.
How to correct that?
Is there a setting or do I need a separate app?

Thanks for your support

hmm...i can play any 720p videos fine on my device. i'm playing the video per streaming with wlan. try using mx player and enable h/w encoding even using streaming.

Hi fusionjack

of course I was disabling this setting in advanced.

But still the earpiece volume is really low whatever I do.
Before I was on Sweet ROM (Touchwiz) and the earpiece volume was much higher.

I was searching on Playstore for an app, maybe volume+ but don´t want to install apps not really necessary.
Is there any other possibility to increase earpiece volume (not phone loudspeaker, not headphone) without an app?

Thanks

ROM is amazing. I love it.

How do i get this ROM into silent mode?

Volume rockers aren't doing it. Volume down just goes into vibrate mode and I can't find an option to enable silent mode.

I don't want the phone to vibrate or make noise while at work....anybody?

Go to Settings > Sound > Advanced options > Lock volume keys. Disable it.
Or just use the "Sounds" Quick Settings tile. Or press the power button and select silent mode (bottom left).

    SlimSaber n7000 Uber 4.8
    Making SlimKat more faster and smoother
    0pvn.png

    SlimSaber: Uber toolchain 4.8.4
    SlimKernel: Uber toolchain 4.9.4

    Disclaimer
    I'm not responsible for any damages on your device.

    After having a good response for some months in the i9100 thread, I decided to share this build since I also built for n7000.
    My focus is to optimize the ROM in many areas and compiled it with custom toolchain Uber for more performance and smoothness.
    I choose SlimRoms as a base because it is a lightweight and not a bloated ROM, but it still has rich features. Combined with some of CM features, I bake a ROM that has more useful features but still lightweight.
    The ROM and the kernel are tested by me first before I make it available online. I could have overseen something during testing, please be understand.

    Features summary
    See here. Thanks a lot Harsha Raj!

    Installation instructions
    Coming from 4.1.x or 4.2.x or 4.3.x or another ROM to 4.4.x:
    • Flash a kitkat compatible recovery from here. A kernel is a recovery and a recovery is a kernel.
    • Reboot to recovery. Not to the system!
    • Full wipe: data, cache, dalvik cache.
    • Mount system and format system partition manually.
    • Flash the unofficial build.
    • Flash gapps from here. Please use the 'minimal' one since our system partition is not big enough to carry the 'full' one.
    Coming from previous unofficial build:
    • Wipe cache and dalvik cache.
    • Flash the unofficial build.
    • No need to re-flash gapps. Gapps will be restored back automatically by backup tool during flashing.
    Known Issues
    • Music player stops playing music from sdcard after some time. See here - Fixed since 20141221.
    • Occasional freezes if using governor other than ondemand. Use only ondemand for the time being.
    F.A.Q
    See second post.

    Latest release
    Latest 4.4.4: 20151021
    Latest 4.4.3: 20140616
    Latest 4.4.2: 20140604

    F.A.Q (Freaking Annoying Questions)

    How to disable CellBroadcastReceiver
    There are three possibilities to disable it:
    • Disable its setting: See here
    • Remove it: Settings - SlimCenter - SlimSizer - Delete CellBroadcastReceiver
    • Freeze it: Use Titanium Backup and freeze 'Mobile Broadcast'
    Root doesn't work!

    • Enable 'Developer options'
      • Go to Settings -> About Phone
      • Tap on the Build Number 7 times
    • Go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access
    • Choose 'Apps' or 'Apps and ADB'
    How to set zzmoove profile
    Available zzmoove profiles:
    1. Default
      Will set governor defaults
    2. Yank Battery
      A very good battery/performance balanced setting - DEV-NOTE: highly recommended! -
    3. Yank Battery Extreme
      Like yank battery but focus on battery saving
    4. ZaneZam Battery
      A more 'harsh' setting strictly focused on battery saving - DEV-NOTE: might give some lags! -
    5. ZaneZam Battery Plus
      NEW! reworked 'faster' battery setting - DEV-NOTE: recommended too! -
    6. ZaneZam Moderate
      NEW! setting based on 'ZaneZam Optimized' which has mainly (but not strictly only!) 2 cores online -
    7. ZaneZam Optimized
      Balanced setting with no focus in any direction - DEV-NOTE: relict from back in the days, even though some people still like it! -
    8. ZaneZam Performance
      All you can get from zzmoove in terms of performance but still has the fast - down scaling/hotplugging behaving
    9. ZaneZam InZane
      NEW! based on performance with new insane scaling active. a new experience!
    10. ZaneZam Gaming
      NEW! based on performance with scaling block enabled to avoid cpu overheating during gameplay
    How to set the zzmoove profile:
    • Go to Settings - Advanced options - Performance - choose zzmoove governor
    • Press menu key and choose Governor Settings
    • Search for 'profile_number' and pick a number from above
    • Press 'Apply values' and eventually enable 'Apply on boot'
    Only profile_number can be persisted, any other gov settings will be changed based on the chosen profile template.

    * Media scanner eating my battery
    * CPU stuck at 1.2 GHz
    * Random music player stop

    For media scanner problem, try this following solution first: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47868557, also see this.
    At these problems could have the same root cause: The kitkat sdcard fuse daemon issue on the Exynos 4210 family of devices. There is no fix yet. See this thread for more information.

    How to check corrupt partition

    I have excessive RILJ wakelocks

    My recovery won't flash the 4.4 zip... aka "Status 7 error"... what do I do?
    You need a kitkat compatible cwm. See installation instructions in 1st op

    How to change DPI?
    Currently, this feature hasn't been ported... so you'll need to install Texdroider DPI from the playstore... or edit /system/build.prop and change ro.sf.lcd_density to the desired value

    Stuck at the Samsung logo
    Follow this steps to get rid of the stuck and to have back your valuable data:
    • Go to recovery and make a twrp/cwm backup.
    • Do a full wipe + mount system + format system.
    • Flash the rom + gapps.
    • Reboot to rom and skip the setup wizard.
    • Go to recovery again and advance restore your data only.
    • Reboot.

    What is the difference between these builds and the official builds?
    Short version: It is unofficial nightly builds whereas official one is stable and weekly builds.
    Long version: It is built using the same source (github) like the official one but with these following additional changes:
    What is Toolchain?
    In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.
    A simple software development toolchain consists of a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system, and a debugger. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.
    Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toolchain

    What is SaberMod?
    The term "SaberMod" is coming from:
    SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124 . Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.
    Source: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2158698

    What is Linaro?
    Linaro is the place where engineers from the world's leading technology companies define the future of Linux on ARM. The company is a not-for-profit engineering organization with over 120 engineers working on consolidating and optimizing open source software for the ARM architecture, including the GCC toolchain, the Linux kernel, ARM power management, graphics and multimedia interfaces.

    SlimKat

    SlimSaber 4.4.2

    Flashing instructions
    • Flash a kitkat compatible CWM from here. Thanks to GeeckoDev.
    • Reboot to recovery. Not to the system!
    • Full wipe: data, cache, dalvik cache.
    • Mount system and format system partition manually.
    • Flash the unofficial build.
    • Flash gapps from here.
    Changes
    • Synced with official release beta 1.9.
    • TRDS: Updates to some components and glowing border for dark images.
    • SlimCenter: Now you can check SlimSaber updates through SlimCenter. You'll be redirected to goo.im n7000 folder.
      This is still experimental and I'm using UbuntuOne hosting to check the version. Not sure if this free account can give enough bandwidth to handle version checking.
    • Some updates in framework base.
    • See changelog for the rest of changes.
    The changelog is incremental. If you want to know what has been changed since the first SlimKat, take a look into changelog folder on my goo.im.

    Notes
    • SlimKat is still WIP (work in progress), so some 4.3.1 features are still missing and they will be added gradually.
    • ART is working in this build, but beware of the consequences that ART needs more time to optimize the apps and takes more RAM.
    • If you find the icon or font too small, you can change the dpi with build.prop editor for example with this app. Change the "ro.sf.lcd_density" with your desire dpi.
    • The ROM is compiled using SaberMod 4.8 toolchain and the SlimKernel is compiled using SaberMod 4.7 toolchain.
    • The SlimKernel contains latest mali r3p2 and latest video drivers s3cfb.
    • From now on, SlimKat is using TWRP, a much better recovery than CWM.
