WARNING!

NOTE:

  • Keep in mind that this are early Beta builds!!!!!! Means bugs can happen. So please only use this builds if you want to help us and iron out the bugs with proper bug-reports etc.

  • If you get error while flashing, go to advanced->reboot to recovery and flash again.

  • If you get SU issues, flash SuperSU v1.80.zip from chainfire's thread.



BUG REPORTING

When you submit a bug-report, you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise we might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist.


The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.

  • Make a nandroid backup.
  • Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system) Now we have two different ways depending on what kind of problem you're having.

  • When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS, and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the home-screen.

  • When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.

  • Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard. Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet". Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.

  • Start a logcat recording and reproduce the bug (if possible more than once) while taking the logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat read this tutorial or this.

  • Post the logcat in a text file (this is important because you otherwise clog up the threads with your log) in the correct thread. Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
  • Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (PLEASE don't ask for ETAs).

Dunno if this is intended or not, but :

1. In System Settings, there is no Performance section (I've clicked 7 times on build number and it unlocks only Developer options). I am using Semaphore Manager anyway but just wanted to point that the section is missing.
2. There is no arrow animation on the Network and WiFi icons in statusbar when internet is used.
3. There is no Kill All button in Recent Apps window (long press Home button)

These are not bothering me, the ROM is fast and looks good.

2. This arrow was removed in KitKat.

You must have a cm10.2 stock kernel (recovery) to flash it, that means you need to install cm10.2 first then reboot recovery, do a full wipe and then install slimkat and gapps.
