hey guys,

new build is up.

Due that now longer we had no update their are really to much changes to write them all down lol. A lot features went back were partly redefined like navbar and navring....etc etc

Just discover it :)


Official binaries are included now.....please do a backup and then a CLEAN FLASH!! IT IS ABSOLUTLY NEEDED!!!!!. Otherwise you will get problems :)

thanks and have fun and report back
 
Hi Kufikugel,

Well, things seem to move really fast forward :) Even for the Tilapia, which goes unsupported for a lot of other ROM's :)
Can I assume that I can now customize the NavBar and NavRing ?
What about the StatusBar ?

Those 3 are the most important to me, so if I can customize them, I will give this build a try...

ONE IMPORTANT QUESTION THOUGH : after installing the first Alpha on my Grouper, I was unable to go back to a previous version. A Slim team member said it was a recognized bug. Does that bug also affect the Tilapia ? Or will I be able to downgrade, if needed, without a problem ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Did something stupid : I flashed the wrong GApps :(

So, everything crashes on boot. And reinstalling the good ones does not fix things :(

Will restore the BU and reinstall the 4.4 Alpha 2 and re install the proper GApps hoping that will do :)

NavBar and NavRing are apparently working good.

Cheers.

format system and reflash and it should stop crashing after flashing the correct gapps

The battery life is great with this build. The best since 4.4 upgrade.

so and new build is up....changes:

- global power menu in settings (check it out....a new slim unique feature I just programmed yesterday to our liking)
- media scanner behaviour (as well a slim unique ported over feature)
- turn off camera shutter sound
- possibility to turn of wifi thether over notification
- improve scrolling cache
- speed up statusbar
- don't wackup when device is plugged on charger
- tons of fixes we had in 4.3 we ported over into 4.4 which google still missed
- settings got a lot love....maybe not directly noticable...but a lot changed there
as reference see: https://github.com/SlimRoms/packages_apps_Settings/commit/f4de69495b2309bc2b748a5d6a66a7211b4b8379
- major system core updates
- and a lot minor stuff and for sure here and there I missed a commit/feature to mention...to much is changing at the moment lol
- aaaah and our themer as well did again same UI tweaks to get google UI finished like they thought it

aaaaand new gapps are as well up.

have fun report back and cheers

PS and next build will be with kernel source due that google today published the kernels...then we can go on with USB OTG
 
Hi Kufikugel,

I love Slim and I love you !

Not only is your ROM about one of the best I know (and I tried pretty much everything available on XDA... and not only on my Tilapia but also on my Nexus 4 and Nexus 7 Grouper), IT IS ALSO almost the only one that I can install on all my devices and thus have the same features on all of them... which is handy to configure :)

SO : long live Slim and all the developers involved !

So far, I did not install 4.4 as it was in too early development. Now I've installed on the grouper and think it's mature enough for my "production" devices and will so install it :)

Regards.

Tried

and you cannot enable it with pressing the first settings entry?


if not try pleas as well in settings->more->default sms package if you can chose it there
Tried to press it multiple times, sometimes the android permission manager gave me an allert that I need to enable the sms app,and when I did, it didn't do anything :D
P.S:I didn't find the more section, you sure it's there?

    Some hints:

    1. Be sure you are on latest CWM or TWRP recovery!!!!!!

    2. Not all gapps packages right now are nice working. You can try others but at least I know that the one linked here is working. If you have other gapps which are working you can link it here of course

    3. Full wipe when coming from any 4.3 or 4.4 rom (as well format system manually please)
