I can install slim rom 4.3, but not 4.4.

I'm using ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.2.3

Warning No file_contexts

set_metadata_recursive: Some changes failed
(status 7)
Installation aborted.

Built myself a new build from source, everything works great except for the known bugs.
Thanks kufikugel and Slim team, looking forward for a great rom :)

Koush's Superuser now works with 4.4, beta0 download link

WARNING!! this rom has a file that needs to be removed, /system/etc/.has_su_daemon, this file is a leftover file from SuperSU and im not really sure why its even in the rom install zip
Tried it but in Titanium backup, I get the prompt that it might not work reliably with some 4.3+ roms.

This is the best ROM I've ever had on my Nexus 7, very smooth indeed and fast.

Isy there any way to change the colour of the WiFi and battery in the status bar, also rotation is a bit wonky, when it went to lsndscape I had to reboot to get it back to normal but asides from that i think this is any excellent piece of work.

Hi Jonny68,

Yes, it is a good ROM, and will probably be the best once final.
So far it's only "Alpha", which means really early development.
The landscape "bug" has been reported numerous times and is mentioned in post #2 by the developer as a known bug.
There is a third party app that will allow you to rotate your screen back to portrait without rebooting the Tilapia. Just do a search in this thread or the Grouper or Mako thread and you' ll find out that app's name.

Regards.

it is currently a hard task on the one hand we bring all our devices up on the other hand we put back our features...some are redefined some we programm completly from scratch with new stuff. Eg today we pushed about 200 commits from 4.3 into 4.4 for our other devices + fixes for current devices

but mostly ppl are interested in new features...so new build has:

- superuser included (need to be enabled in developer options!!!)
- a lot new features just discover them...to much to write up
- a new crt animation...check it out
- fix settings locale language problem
- and tons of fixes under the hood

and new build is up

I added a simple list yesterday but it is actually more we have already included:

- all keyboard features are back (force auto rotate, disable landscape fullscreen, force enter button, ime notification, volume key cursor control)
- clock statusbar features
- crt animation
- statusbar brigthness slide
- safe headset volume
- volume rocker features (wake device, sound skip)
- slims privacy guard
- volume panel features we had
- keyguard on supported devices shows now transparent navbar/statusbar as well
- wifi country code
- advanced reboot menu
- custom LED battery and notification features
- swipe qs -> notification and back
- disbale OTA from google
- slims camera and video features (smart capture, image quality, image size, gps indicator etc)
- implemented root (needs to be enabled in developer settings or in superuser settings. Disabled by default)
- tons of fixes in google code and optimizations
- a lot under the hood stuff
- and whatever I forgot to mention lol

CM 11 has fixed rotation, could it help or it s different code?
where? I did not saw any patches according to this....beside that this still is only a temp problem till new blobs are out. But if you could give me a hint where to look I will integrate it of course
