[ROM][4.4.4][10/21] SlimSaber - n7000

[ashoksoft]

Missing stuff and options + request

Even with the latest update I find Music players freezing randomly. Alarm failing at times. FM Radio not working. Here are some solutions which other users could use :

Music : Get "Winamp" freeware version .. works like a charm - google it
Alarm : Get " I Can't wake up " - never failed till now for me.
FM Radio : Sprite FM ( freeware version) - works pretty well.
Another generic suggestion for Indian users - Google Maps sometimes shuts up the navigation mid way (I'm a biker and would not even realize that google has stopped prompting me for quite a bit) - try Sygic map my india ... works awesome


Feature request : Call Recording. A feature that could be easily enabled on AOSP ROM's seem missing here. Any thoughts ?

My phone still freezes intermittently and needs a reboot wondering if the issue is standard across users

Its commonly known that Spirit FM is the only option to use band radio in an AOSP Rom.

And FYI, please be informed that Call recording feature is broken in other ROMs than stock since 10.2.
So you can't say it's missing features & request for it.

It's a request mate nothing offensive there . Won't you love an addon feature to the already powerful ROM ?

Maybe legal concerns. Call recording is illegal in many countries. Even in the US, the legal situation is tricky. @ashoksoft Solved. Thank you.

Done ... Though keeping it as an addon option should be useful. Anyway I'm trying to create a call recorder for CM right now lets see... if things get going - hope to see a post on that

Will we ever get a new Slim JB build? Slimkat is nice but I still have a lot of apps (mainly games but also some non-games) that work either very badly or not at all with KK.

Sorry for noob question.. I'm using this kernel "raw_kernel_r4_j43.zip". Is there a new kernel for this build?
Thank you!

The status bar's tint is weird in recent apps on the latest build. Does anyone else have this issue?

@fusionjack I just did a clean flash (wipe data, system, preload, cache, dalvik cache, everything) of the latest build (02/24).
This issue is still present.
It first started happening for me on the build from 02/17, so I guess there was a commit that broke something then?

I flashed latest 02.24 release.. i like it so much. I think this is the best rom for n7000 with Asylum. Tnx for the lock screen battery circle identification. And its faster than Asylum for now. I dont know how but i use both on daily bases. Keep up with the good work.....

Any battery saver feature in the future?

I think only complain is fast battery draining in comparison to Asylum... otherwise... great , fast, smooth rom...

This build more responsive than 17 and 21 builds.

Agreed. However, I think the delay period set for the "long press" is too short (Hardware key custom action).
For instance, when I set long press home button for screenshot. when the device is in sleep mode, pressing the home button will do screenshot. @fusionjack, is that possible?

thanks.
there was more battery usage when screen on some weeks ago as i changed the gpu steps to the default one: two gpu steps. i have reverted back to 3 gpu steps like before. the battery usage when screen on should be improved by now.
as always, it is recommended to full charge your battery after flashing a build...

yeah, some users also said like that, instead normal press action, the long press action is triggered. either it is bug on the hardware key rebinding or a bug since home button to unlock/answer call feature. i'll take a look again into the code...
with my settings: normal press - home screen, long press - recents app, home to unlock/answer call are both enabled, i never experience the issue that you mentioned.
