[ROM] (Unofficial) [4.4.2] SlimKat Weekly 3.1 [Jewel] W/ New partitions

[NaterTots]

SlimKAT 4.4.2

Installation instructions

1. Download the latest build
2. Download the latest SlimGapps 4.4.x or other 4.4 specific gapps
3. In recovery, full wipe, and manually format /system
4. Flash ROM and the gapps you want, reboot

Note 1: This rom comes with DPI set at 245. This will make the fonts/icons smaller than usual there are many ways to change this to the stock 320... Edit: The latest builds have a DPI adjuster in Settings/Interface/

Note 2: Superuser comes disabled by default! Please find the Dev Tools app in your app drawer, select Developer Options then look under "Debugging" for Root Access. select apps only or apps and ADB. (Btw ART is working great on this rom, if you would like to test it it is under Select runtime)

Note 3: Build's based off the new partition layout

YOU MUST FLASH AND RUN CAPTAINTHROWBACK'S SENSE 5 4.3 UPDATE ROM BEFORE FLASHING THIS

Or have used the RUU from HTC to upgrade to 4.13

REQUIREMENTS:
-HBOOT 2.10
-RECOVERY WITH NEW PARTITION LAYOUT
-FLASH AND BOOT INTO THE SENSE 5 4.3 ROM FIRST OR THIS WILL NOT WORK!

see Captain_Throwback's instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639180

Also once you do update everything you will need to do the HTC Unlock to be able to flash your recovery. Don't worry, you will still be S-Off, if you already were.

I have to say it again DO NOT FLASH THE BUILDS FOR THE NEW PARTITION LAYOUT UNLESS YOU HAVE PERFORMED THE UPGRADE TO THE LATEST SENSE 5 4.3 upgrade! You must actually flash the rom not just the recovery. You have been warned.

Changelogs can be found on the slimroms website
http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/news


Download Links: There are 2 versions of each build at the moment. I'm not sure how long I'll support the old Partition layout so it would be a good thing to upgrade to stay current. PLEASE pay attention to what you are downloading and Flashing.

And huge thanks to @Captain_Throwback and @xHausx for working on the parttion layout and @GoblinZ for helping me, help him.

There really is no reason to not update your Firmware, Hboot and recovery to have the new layout. It uses the storage the same way as newer devices and allows you to format your SD card to a different format if you desire.

Reminder: Any previous backups you have will not work on the new layout. But this is a great time to clean up your SD card and start fresh which will probably make things quicker in the long run.

Screenshot's Post #3
SlimPie is in all builds from 2.8 and up.

I see you pulled the trigger...good for you. I have been building this for a while and can tell you some days when you sync things work and some days things are broke. Interested to see where you take it.

Cheers

I haven't seen any comments about data connectivity yet. This have the dropped data issues I'd read about with CM?
Thanks. ROM looks great.

Scott, my device isn't active anymore so I can't answer that.
My understanding though is that there may be a hang up on data when switching networks. Like 3g to LTE and vice versa. An airplane toggle resets it usually.

I also saw in a different thread that someone uses tasker to turn of mobile data when they arent using it. You could probably set it to turn data off for one minute every 20 minutes or so. You'd probably never notice it and wouldn't get stuck without a data connection.

I only have lte at work so usually driving when it switches to 3g but I haven't noticed any issues and WiFi to 3g works great to

I have noticed the connection dropout requiring a data or airplane toggle to restart. This first build was a vanilla unmodified SlimKat. Future builds will integrate fixes to these and other issues.

SlimKat is being released in weekly increments so I will keep that release schedule.

Thank you all for the feedback! :thumbup:

Great Build

Great job on this build. I have been working on one myself, but I haven't actually gotten a successful build compiled. That aside, I haven't noticed any problems with this ROM at all. I haven't even noticed any data dropouts, although I'm not a heavy data user.

There were many changes to the Kit Kat builds of android to include selinux features. This requires an update to the recovery software. Please make sure to use either deck's patched TWRP or selinux capable TWRP.
