Hi miguelidanez,

I have the same problem with my Parrot Bluetooth hands free car kit. Which is quite old.

In my case, it happens the same with all Android 4.4.2 ROMs that I have tested, except with the Mokee ROM.
So, I tried to replace the Bluetooth APK file with the two Bluetooth APK files from Mokee. Obviously, without success. :crying: But, I had to try.

Since my point of view, SlimSaber is the quickest 4.4.2 ROM. But I need the hands free running correctly.

So, if anybody has any idea of how to solve this problem, please, let us know.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I had a problem connecting phone to car bluetooth. It connects sucessfull, but when bluetooth car tries to Access to phone contacts, phone shows a message asking permission for this, as others rom do. I accept, but car can not read contacts and obvisouly I can't select a contact and also names are not shown on car screen.

Others rom Works perfectly. I thinks it could be a kikat security problem. Is is posible?

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Miguel

How is the battery drain in SlimSaber 4.4.2? -sorry for this question

Well, see what I got here.

 

[mrumais]

This is getting great. See what I got with Build 20140125. Thank you very much @fusionjack . U rock... :highfive:

 

[vantootvelve]

5 hours screen on?
Are you using a 4000 mah battery?

On the last build, with one of my 2 Sammy batteries, i'm not able to exceed 3h40 of screen on...
It's a brand new Samsung battery.

 

[fusionjack]

i have uploaded a new build...i'll make summary tomorrow. dashclock is removed again. it looks like some users have trouble using it.

hi. iv been on a tw based rom since i first got my note 2 years ago lol. but i am really bored of tw. from what iv seen slimsaber rom is the best aosp cm rom out. i just want to know what do i loose going from touchwiz to slimsaber? like i know i will loose spen functionality.

You won't loose **S-Pen** functionality. You will loose ability to run **S-Note** app as it relies on TW framework. I use Papyrus as a replacement and it feels like writing on paper! It's that smooth thanks to KK.

Thanks

Thanks for your answer. I am trying Mokee ROM and bluetooth Works Ok. But now I return to a previous problema: camera storage at internal SD. However an user gave me a solution. I installed xposed framework and pictures2SD module, which changes camera storage to external SD.
@fusionjack

Is there any solution for bluetooth problems?

I like to use this rom, so it appears to be faster then others kikat ones.

Thanks in advance.

Insufficient storage space

So guys, this might be a little off topic (to the last 2 - 3 posts) but thought this could help someone who gets stranded here. Have been on slimrom / slim saber or a slightly tweaked version of slim saber for a good part of the last couple of months. Upgraded to the latest 4.4.2 27.01.2014 release day before. Had installed facebook from an earlier backup - flawless. That's when a friend sent me an updated version of facebook (he's an FB dev). Tried to install - failed, uninstalled the earlier version of FB, and then tried to install - got an "Insufficient Storage Space" error.

Searched around, someone suggested to remove data\Lost+Found tried - no luck. Eventually this is what solved the problem for me ...

1. Install Link2SD from the play store - and in settings change all installs to "Automatic"
2. Install SD Maid from the play store (I have a paid version) - clear corpse, and do a complete App Cleaner run.

Reboot device and boom the installation errors I was facing was suddenly resolved. Can other users who face this validate this ?

Cheers
Ashok

well of course if your internal app storage is full (because you have a lot of apps) this will work because you are installing to the internal SD card now

 

[ashoksoft]

Internal storage was empty barely had 4 apps .. Whatsapp (With no data), facebook, XDA, and adaway..

It was surprising to see that when I had almost over a GB free (in fact after installing all my apps (115 of them) i still have 1+ GB free

Anyway to enable call recording here ? Tried to check through the xposed repository - but secphone does not seem to be used here.

with swap storage feature, you can use your external sdcard to be used for internal storage. therefore you have a plenty space rather than the normal 11 GB internal storage.

i don't have bluetooth on my car, so i can't test it. based on @HardCorePawn posts here, the bluetooth connection to the car should work. whether it can show your contacts or not, i'm not sure:

it could be that our rom is still missing some bluetooth protocols. as far as i can remember, in 4.3 i have some cm bluetooth commits applied additionally to slimroms.

manually installing app could cause some problems, especially between official and unofficial version of an app or if you are using an app to patch another apps to remove ads or keys.

No.

Audio line call recording has been broken since CM10.1. The only way to record is via Microphone input meaning you need to have phone on speaker in a relatively quiet environment to get a decent recording.
This will never be fixed, so if you need call recording, install a stock Samsung ROM. This means your phone will slow down, lag and be of limited use. Slim (and other KK) ROMs have extended a usable life of our beloved Note.

• Reverted some bionic commits that could cause some problems in some games.
• Some fixes in framework base.
• See changelog for the rest of changes.

Hi fusionjack,

Thanks for your answer.

Incoming calls works fine with the bluetooth of the car. The problem, at least in my case, is only with the contacts list, which is empty. So, I can not do any call.

Does you know if it is posible to solve it replacing any APKs from a CM11 ROM (like Mokee)? Or does you know any other easy solution?

Thanks again fusionjack.

ic...probably the phone book access is not implemented yet in slimkat. i'll do a research this weekend...:fingers-crossed:
edit: actually, it is there. phone book access should work...

No, it is not shown the phone book in the display of the Bluetooth hands free car kit. Neither with this ROM, nor other 4.4.2 ROMs that I have tested. Except Mokee (CM11).

Anyway, thank you very much for your answers, and for your work. This is the best 4.4.2 that I have tested.
