Things to know and Troubleshooting

Having Problems with Superuser?

Super user is hidden in settings, developer options. Have to turn it on.

How to close Recent apps from the new resents style?

opethehowdyman said:
In response to the "clear all recent apps button". I saw this in a YouTube video. While in recent apps, from top of screen with one finger and bottom of screen with thumb, pinch together and all recent apps will close. I hope this will help.
http://youtu.be/166MLgzcqnw. At 1:50 in the video he describes closing all recent apps.

Yeah, I don't see why XT925 is supported, but we aren't. Also, doesn't this come with SU integrated in the settings app?

[ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat (mb886) [Unofficial] [beta 2.1]

Trying to select APN force closes.

Slimkat is the first KK rom I see it show "HOME" instead of T-Mobile as my carrier, under Straight Talk.

It does have superuser and asks for permissions when apps request root.

That's very unusual as well. Never seen that one before if you ask me. At least for me it does show T-Mobile which is what I have.

As for the superuser yes it works without a problem. That is why I mentioned. SuperSU to be flashed as optional. I don't like to wait 3 seconds to give root permissions to a trusted app

I think this ROM have enough to be my daily drive. Battery is very good and is very very stable. Some xposed framework for some theming and add few other options and I'm very happy

Cannot select APN. No go for me. Seems smooth otherwise.

OK guys, @sickkside13, @joarce, @penser and @clockcycle

ROM updated to newest weekly and I have fix the issue of APN Force Closing and other few changes like stock phone apk and others.

I have tried everything for the last 2hrs and haven't find any problems. So rom is up to date and working perfect to say no less.

Now if only we could get some AOSPA builds! I already asked CJ360 (from drdevs.com, same name on XDA) since he has builds up for XT925/6 and XT907, he said he's gonna get it stable on his XT926 then start building for all the other qcom/msm8960 family members.

TecknoFreak · Jan 21, 2014

Once source is available Im sure this will be in our hands very soon. Also Pacman is coming in a week or so according to their Irc

sickkside13 · Jan 21, 2014

Yeah true I am syncing repo but Ubuntu on APU systems suck so I'll see later how it goes since it always gives me crash errors

How is the camera app? Is it not good quality like on cm11? Can store camera photos in external sd?

Camera works same as others. I haven't used it because I use the one from full pa gapps and that yes have that option to save on sdcard or internal sd

clockcycle · Jan 22, 2014

According to http://slimroms.net/index.php/slim-bean-features it sounds like their camera has unique features.

EDIT: What I have noticed so far is that the dialer doesn't have the issue CM11 dialer does. When you first activate the phone and press he keypad icon CM11 shows up blank. This one doesn't seem to have that problem.

EDIT: I would like to see this rom complied from source, rather than "cleaning" up the CN one. For some reason I can't shake the "untrusting" feeling
