Any news on slim upgrading to 4.4.3?

Why yes, there is news.

fusionjack said:
fyi, i'm merging 4.4.3...it is not finished yet. i'll continue tomorrow...and hopefully it compiles well.
for builders, don't use my github since it is not complete yet and i use it to backup my merging changes...[...]

I was unable to run a build off last night as a result of the in-progress changes, and I'll be away from my build-machine until next weekend.

If someone cares to build it on their own and post here, SlimSaber's repositories have all of the necessary components.
You'll need to use Oracle's JDK, not OpenJDK.

Cheers all

Question:
peter goebbels - 11:34 AM
Was wondering what is the difference between the two versions of Minimal Gapps that were uploaded today?

Answer:
Daniel Koman - 1:28 PM
build 67 has 4.4.2 services framework, build 68 has 4.4.3 services framework.

If you load 67 onto 4.4.3 it will update itself I'm assuming, right?

cyril279 · Jun 16, 2014

Personally, I don't like to dirty-flash/over-flash GApps packages.

I suggest the semi-clean approach:
-wipe /system
-flash slimsaber
-flash gapps
-wipe cache/dalvik
-reboot system

the only items that I have to "fix" after this method are:
-re-enable xposed installer
-re-establish my favorite DPI (build.prop)
-check TiBu for orphaned data, and delete if present.

All apps and their settings are untouched, and I am assured a clean GApps installation, all with very little added effort..

Wiping /system doesn't nuke your apps in the process? I don't honestly know...

No only system apps and they are replaced buy the new install of the ROM and gapps

Another question: I changed my dpi and my media scanner now feels the need to go berzerk on me. Is that related or pure coincidence?

Well, I realized that the one listed in the OP is only updated to 5.8.60, so, I don't think there's an issue?

cyril279 · Jun 17, 2014

I'm not aware of any media scanner-dpi issues, but that doesn't mean that they aren't somehow linked. The method that I outlined, is the method that I use to upgrade each week, and I promise you, I don't re-install and configure everything each week.

You're right, the note about versions 67 & 68 do not apply to the stable GApps packages, which are recommended for use with this firmware.

For those feeling frisky, there are other options.

As David mentioned, Your /system partition is typically only populated by the firmware (OS and included apps), and Google Apps. All play-store and sideloaded apps are typically installed to /data. Even the settings for /system apps are actually stored on the /data partition.

Also didn't realize the SlimKernel used TWRP... not that it matters, but I had not gone back into recovery after flashing yesterday, so assumed it was CWM.

Looks like my media scanner issues had more to do with Google Play Music than my dpi...

Idk about y'all but I'm getting much better standby battery life with 4.4.3.

Been messing with it too much to let it sit and see.

BTW, I meant to ask...Cyril's "Clean/dirty install" method...would that work for a new version of the ROM itself as well? I'm assuming so...

Saw that there was a new version of TWRP out...worth trying to get it loaded onto this ROM? Not sure what changes are in it.
