As usual, this wouldn't be possible without all the hard work from @crpalmer and the CM team in general.

In fact he already did most of the bringup for Slim, so apologies for dragging on this one - I know people were waiting for it.

Enjoy! I am thinking I can keep up with the weekly schedule Slim does, I'll try to coordinate my builds with their weeklies as best I can.

Let me know!

Other issues are still present.

Awesome. Of course this drops right as I'm heading out of town and can't flash, but that's how my life goes. If you're not sure you've got the right repo and such, ask the guys in the N5 thread. They often help people trying to make their own builds. Friendly bunch there. Thanks for your work on this (and of course crpalmer!).

See the post I quoted, it's fixed.

I've also fixed the keyboard issue... I guess I should play with different values, but the values used for CM didn't work... default is 4, crpalmer adjusted to 5... which worked for other ROM's. I just tried 15 for fun, and it worked.

Going to attempt 6 and see if that is good enough. I'm not sure what the negative effect would be of turning up this divider tho?

I finally got a chance to flash this and though I haven't tested everything possible, so far I've not encountered a single issue. I'm just thrilled to death. It's just like on my Nexus 5. I can't thank you, @arrrghhh (and of course @crpalmer for his device wizardry) enough.

I would never use it either if it weren't for my MOGA controller and Dead Trigger 2.

If using the Tab for WiFi calls (Groove IP, &c), Bluetooth becomes a useful feature to have.

I didn't say it was useless, I just didn't see a need for it.

Also, isn't GrooveIP basically dead now that Google removed support for third parties?

I wish Hangouts was as good on Android as it was on iOS... sad really. But I digress, I'll look at the issue...

lol, Slim likes to use a different DPI. I believe Slim is working towards a DPI updater on-the-fly... otherwise you'll have to adjust it in the build.prop.

Understood as to your statement of its utility, inasmuch as one person's feature is another's bloat. As to Groove IP rendered dead, it was given another span of life via the entity Ring.to. Swift to establish, and a host of additional numbers to grab. Works flawlessly.

I as you am dumbfounded by the superior quality of Hangouts for iOS.

Thanks for all you do.

I've noticed apps seem to treat the tablet as though it has a menu button. No three dot button in UI or menu button appears in soft keys. Is there a build.prop edit or something that can fix this?

    Not sure what the issue is, if you've heard of it?

    Anyhoo, I think Slim has fixed the issue on their side - I just had some simple overlay problems to fix and I have a new build!! Will be flashing shortly, assuming it's good I will upload.

    Stay tuned!

    Edit - build 7.4 is up and ready to go - working great here!

    The camera focus issue is interesting, it's still present. Only continuous is available, and the option becomes unavailable completely with the flash enabled. I may bug the Slim devs about it, not sure what could be wrong...

    Hm, I'm actually a bit worse now with the new msm8974-common change...

    https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12691845/Android/logcat_gtab.txt

    @crpalmer, sorry to ping you but if you wouldn't mind giving me some suggestions.... Bluetooth was broken previously, but now wifi is as well:

    Code: 
    01-01 01:54:56.140 E/WifiHW  (  368): Failed to open wlan fw path param (No such file or directory)
01-01 01:54:56.140 E/SoftapController(  368): Softap fwReload failed
01-01 01:54:56.140 E/WifiStateMachine(  857): Failed to reload STA firmware java.lang.IllegalStateException: command '1 softap fwreload wlan0 STA' failed with '400 1 SoftAP command has failed'
01-01 01:54:56.140 W/CommandListener(  368): Failed to retrieve HW addr for wlan0 (No such device)

    I've updated with the prima definition and matched the dependencies you have for CM, plus a few required for Slim...

    and for BT, I saw this and thought a kernel issue?

    Code: 
    E/bt_upio ( 3554): init_rfkill : open(/sys/class/rfkill/rfkill0/type) failed: No such file or directory (2)

    Thanks!

    You can ignore the rfkill error. I've never bothered to look and see if I can stop it from trying to use that (we don't need or have it).

    For the wifi, my guess is that your device tree isn't right. Do you have:

    TARGET_MSM8974_COMMON_WLAN_VARIANT := prima

    before including the msm8974-common board config? It looks like it's not using the right "firmware" path and hitting that path is what causes wlan0 to be initialized.
