I flashed Slim Bean 4.2.2. Build 1 doing a complete wipe along with the Slim Gapps package yesterday. It installed fine and I was restoring my apps with Titanium as usual. After this completed I restarted my phone and now my entire status bar is gone. I can't pull down notifications or the quick settings. It's completely gone.
I've done some searching and only found a couple other people with this problem on other phones. Some suggestions have been forcing gpu rendering and playing with the status bar transparency. None of these work.
I also re flashed the rom again (just on top of the existing one as I'm at work and don't have the means to do a complete wipe + flash) to no avail.
I would like to say I love the Slim Bean roms and 4.2.1 was working just great for me but I am probably just going to wait for 4.2.2 Build 2 as this is not acceptable at all. I would have preferred to post this on the Slim Bean thread in the development thread but of course I'm not allowed cause my post count = noob (IMO this is a stupid rule)
Any help would be much appreciated.

Build 2 of Slim Bean has TRDS implemented into the settings, so make sure to download both the ROM and new Add-ons. During installation, be sure to fully wipe the phone meaning Wipe Data \ Factory Reset, Wipe Cache, Wipe Dalvik Cache and format /system, flash the ROM and Add-ons. Also, the launcher has an ability to hide the status bar, so make sure it is working before restoring any backed up launcher settings.

OK I don't usually format /system or flash the add-ons, I will try this. Does nova launcher have this ability? Both holo and nova weren't showing the status bar either way.
Thanks for your help. I will give Build 2 a try as soon as they get their servers all in order.

If any launcher you have tried hides it, then probably flashing the new build will fix it, but yes Nova has an option to hide the Notification bar in 'Look and Feel'.
You don't have to flash the Add-ons but at least flash the Slim gapps, you need the Google framework to sync your account, and also so TRDS will work for the Google apps. Format /system this time because of the new TRDS implementation in settings. It's always good to format /system when changing ROMs, when the base has changed or updates are made that will affect the system partition because during the flashing process, it actually copies everything out of system and puts it back, it's why some issues from one ROM can carry over to another, if it isn't done.
A good dirty flash would be to do all of those steps except Wipe Data \ Factory Reset.

Thanks for the flashing tips, Good to know! I just got Build 2 installed with the new gapps, my status bar is back and it's running beautifully so far. Hopefully my titanium backups aren't the problem... I originally started using titanium back sometime during ICS so I hope some apps aren't corrupt.
So this probably wasn't even a ROM/Device specific problem so next time I'll just post in the general Q&A.
Thanks again and have a great weekend!

I think you misunderstood the question LOL
When you restore from titanium backup a popup will come up saying your android id has changed with three options. Ignore, keep, and cancel(I think is the last one) which option are you choosing? Keep will bring over any build specific data that has been used by the apps and will cause issues, ignore is the best option.

Yes, its device specific. Any time you flash a new ROM your device creates a new id which is then assigned to the data of your apps. Ota automatically discards this id and assigns a new one, where restoring from tb would try to keep that info and it would cause conflicts

Well, I didn't follow through with reading this whole thread but there was a similar one last week. If you can't see your status bar in any launcher turn off extended desktop by holding down the power key and selecting it. Save you a lot of reinstall time in the future.

This could have been the problem I didn't check before I flashed build 2. It doesn't appear in the default power menu but rather Slim settings > Interface > Power Menu.

That option allows you to select whether it will be shown in your extended power menu... The Expanded Desktop has different options to hide the Status and / or Navigation bar... You can also bind hardware keys to the Expanded Desktop... It may have been your issue, but now you are on Build 2 with a fresh install, things should run great...

For my new ROM please go HERE
Installation instructions & other useful information
To install on your Evo:
1. Copy OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip to the root of your SD card.
2. Shut off your phone and boot into recovery.
3. Do a full wipe (Data, cache, Dalvik, SD Ext.) Do it twice to be sure if you want to!
4. Install OmegaEVO_v1.0_by_Ricsim78.zip. It should take a few minutes to install.
5. Reboot the phone. It should take a long time to start up the first time. Please be patient!
6. If all goes well, enjoy your new ROM!
7. If not, start over from step 2 after pulling your battery.
To install a custom kernel: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the custom kernel and reboot.
To install a theme: Let the ROM load up first and then reboot into recovery and wipe the cache and Dalvik. Then install the theme and reboot.
How to backup and restore using Titanium backup Here is the method I use to backup my phone information before I wipe and install a new ROM
I backup my entire phone with a batch "Backup all user apps + system data"
Wipe and install the new ROM,
I open Titanium Backup (TB) and give it super user rights.
I hit "Updates?" in TB and make sure I am running the latest.
I hit "Problems?" in TB and make sure I am using Busybox 1.60
Hit menu and select batch
Select "Backup all new apps + newer versions of apps", if any.
Select "Restore missing apps with data"
Go over the list and make sure you are restoring only what you want
Hit run batch operation
After it completes, go back into TB and backup restore.
Restore contacts twice
Restore MMS twice
Restore Mail twice
If any of the 3 above do not take, do it again
Restart your phone
Verify mail, MMS, and contacts restored. If not, restore again.
Why Amon RA and not Clockwork recovery?
Clockwork does not wipe the Dalvik properly (if at all). I personally have had nothing but problems with both Clockwork and ROM manager
I have said countless times that if you use either of the above, it is at your own risk. Install Amon RA recovery and I bet any wiping/installing problems will go away.
If you already are using ROM manager, pick the option to install a custom recovery, choose Amon RA 1.8. If that option is greyed out, reinstall the latest Clockwork then install RA.
Note: Do not do a fix permissions with anything unless you need to, you can screw stuff up that way.
Trust me, the new ROM is devoid of problems (I have never tested a ROM this much before releasing it). If you experience any, it is either something you are doing wrong or incomplete wipes thanks to your recovery not doing it's job properly.
What is the proper method to install the ROM and other things (kernels, themes, and mods, etc.)
Lets say you want to add a kernel, a theme, and then a clock modification.
Nandroid first!
ROM: Wipe data, cache, Dalvik (twice), SD:EXT.
Install the ROM.
Let the ROM load up the first time.
Sign into your Google account
Let it sync
When the sync icon goes away, reboot into recovery.
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the theme
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
In recovery, wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the kernel
Reboot
Let it load all the way up again.
Reboot into recovery
Wipe the cache and Dalvik (twice)
Install the clock MOD
Reboot
This is my method and works every time without issue. Obviously, to install another item, you would repeat the process.
Hope this both helps and clarifies.
Which kernels work with this ROM?
Any that are designed for a Sense ROM. This includes:
Netarchy's
Kingclick's
Hero Over's
Ziggy's
HTC's
Which kernel do you recommend to use?
I cannot recommend a kernel for you because each EVO reacts different. The best for my phone can be the worse for yours.
You have to try the different ones available and pick the one that works best for you. What I do is start with their latest and work your way down until you find one that works well. Then stick with it.
This also goes for overclocking, SetCPU settings, etc.
Which themes work with this ROM?
Themes make your phone look nice but can also add problems to an otherwise smooth running ROM. You can use any theme you wish, but Nandroid first and if anything is broken, please do not blame the ROM as it is the theme that added the problem.
This includes my older modded themes and any theme made for 3.29 and 3.30 OTA updates They may work or they may work but break things.
Using my theme avoids this problem. It matches with my ROM perfectly and breaks nothing. Also, my theme is optimized for maximum speed and reduces the overhead of a theme (most themes are not optimized and add a bunch of stuff which increases system overhead, reduces battery life and speed a bit). As an added perk, it is a small download.
Hey, what gives? How come this ROM is saying it is 3.30.651.2 when I thought it was the 3.30.651.3 OTA?
3.30.651.3 is NOT a full ROM, it is a kernel and a few other minor changes. This is why the OTA is 7 MB or less instead of 160+ MB like a ROM usually is.
There is no issue, this is the 3.30.651.3 update. Hence the HTC # 17 kernel. Notice the screenshot in the first post also says that mine has 3.30.651.2? That is because basically this is a bandaid for a recently released OTA. That is why the number went up in the last decimal place. A major update would be like 3.31.XXX.X
sounds good, any screenies?

Well, without recooking it or using a theme (which would take out my wallpapers) no. Let me see if I can come up with a better solution. If not I will re-cook it with a different battery icon.

That was how this ROM was born, I liked almost all of the ones on the board, but none had the ringtones, notifications, or wallpapers I wanted.
Problem solved! Glad to see it is working for everyone as well. I had no problems with this ROM, think it helps that it is based off the OTA and not a custom ROM.
I will keep this ROM updated. Future plans is to come up with a Sense removed, AOSP element version and add more customizations. I also need to update some of the apps (TB, to name one). I kept some of the stock Sprint stuff in just so no one had problems updating the Voicemail or other Sprint apps left in.
Please rate the thread and let me know if there is anything I should include, change, etc. etc.

Sounds good man, hehe. Please let me know what you think and I hope you like this ROM.
I begin work on the next version of Azrael today, expect version 2.1 out soon, By Wednesday I should have it tested out and ready to go.
Known changes I am going to be making:
-all apps updated
-battery indicator changed to Smooth battery with percentage (far more useful than the one Azrael 2.0 is cooked with and so far the only complain heard about this ROM) *knock on wood*
-Another custom wallpaper or 3 thrown in for good measure
Whatever changes I make, I will of course note them in the release notes.
I also want to get some more theme options available, maybe modify some themes so they do not take out my custom wallpapers. That way you can make this ROM more how you want it to be as well.
I really hope everyone who tries this likes it, I know I am up there with some really good ROM makers here that have far more reputation, but so far everything has been positive and I hope that at least a few people find my work useful.
Lastly, I am glad to offer another ROM option and give back to a community that has given me much.
I had recently rooted my phone and had installed Titanium backup using which I backed up all the apps+data.
Using Titanium backup I tried to remove a stock app provided by lg. During this process the phone rebooted twice and after that I saw that the phone had been reset to the factory settings.
I restored by following the below steps
Titanium backup > Backup/Restore > menu > batch > Restore > run Restore missing apps + all system data.
After restoring I observe that the phone is not being able to connect to any wifi, however previously when it was in factory reset it was being able to connect to wifi. Could anyone please help.

I think it was one of "Dhingana", "Bollywoodji" or "AG indian newspapers". I had restored after that but currently I do not find "Dhingana" among the installed apps.
It would be the best of you would factory reset again. If you have a custom recovery, then reboot into it(either from ROM Manager or with phone off holding Volume Down+Home+Power) and wipe data, cache etc. If you haven't got a custom recovery, then power your phone off and use the key combination above. It should work.
And don't use "restore system data" option in Titanium. Better restore individual apps in the "Backup/Restore" without going into the Batch mode.

Which setting/file are the system settings saved in? Things like the nav bar, notification bar, display, account syns, etc....? I know all about the pitfalls of restoring system data across different ROMs and for those cases, I just bite the bullet and redo all of those settings. But it seriously takes an hour or two to go in and redo all of those settings and if a RM is getting updated every couple of weeks, this just gets way too tedious for it to be worth it.
I know I can just do a system data + app and data restore for those cases and I do use that but there are times when I do not want every single thing restored and it would be nice to know which file all of those settings are saved in. I tried tinkering with just a few of those but I could not seem to find it.
Thank you in advance for any help, much appreciated.
And/or which file(s) cause the android.process.media to stop working and in general causes apps to crash? Also, does the Android ID cause/affect that? Thanks again.
[Edit] After much trial and error, I found the cause of the android.media.process and all apps in general crashing as a result problem(s). It was the file(s) Download Manager eng.prbassplayer and/or Downloads eng.prbassplayer inside Titanium Backup - Restore System Data selections. Just fyi for those wanting to know. I restored all other system and app data besides those and had no problems whatsoever with all Interface settings restored. I still did not figure out which file restored the Interface settings, if anyone could still shed some light on that.
This post relates to custom ROMs and restoring stuff with TB. Hoping someone can help.
I have been playing with Resurrection Remix for the last 7 months and have recently switched to Vanilla Rootbox.
With these two ROM's (and probably others) when an update is released a wipe/factory reset is required before installing the update. This causes a great amount of inconvenience as I have to manually re-setup all my shortcuts/widgets, email accounts, custom settings such as custom settings (toggles, etc...) ringtones and notifications sounds and so on.
All this takes ages and I'm getting a little tired of having to do it. There must be an easier way? Can this sort of stuff be restored with TB? I could be wrong but I don't think it can.
Many thanks.

try to save them in TB, if you can find in TB and save them it will be restored to any rom you will use in future
I was under the impression that those settings caused problems if formats were needed and especially between different ROM's?
And yeah, tmarinos I definitely her you there. I have stopped using those extra customizations for my ROM, though I can usually restore my home screen and app drawer settings safely, thankfully.
The developers of my ROM (Slim Bean) have started that they want to include a feature to restores those settings between resets, so hopefully that type of feature becomes more integrated as time goes on. Hopefully.
On another note, my phone's TB is having issues. When it runs an automated scheduled backup task, it keeps saying "insufficient storage" but if I manually run that exact same task it runs just fine. Anyone have any idea what that's about?

I don't know if it is already answered but I can't find a clear answer for my problem.
Every time I flash a new ROM I have to factory reset so to judge fairly the performance and the stability of each ROM.
I use Titanium Backup to backup/restore my apps and the data of these apps.
My question is :
Can I restore, after a clean install of a ROM, my system settings? When saying system settings I mean my home widgets, my wallpaper, and every setting of my system, so to be the exact same setup but with the new code of the ROM.
Is that possible or I am dreaming...?

I do not think this is possible.. But you can take screenshots of all the launcher's screens, and write each widget's name on a paper so you can just install and move them as you have had them before.

And your welcome
For the history, I was trying all night and finaly I can tell that TB cannot restore all settings.
The best result was when I check from menu the choise "Migrate Data". TB restored some of my settings. Only wallpaper and widget I had to setup again. From android settings menu almost everything was there as before flashing. Although I have to check all settings for right config after each flashing attempt.

Do you know which specific "app" in Titanium restored your settings?
Titanium backup
I do not think that TB will do what you ask for.
In general, when you switch from one version to another of the same ROM all settings remain unchanged. When you move from one to another ROM and then do a full wipe the settings are lost.
You can facilitate your work, use a launcher (Nova or others) that they have in themselves the function backup / restore and also import from other launcher. In this case'll get your wallpaper, your widgets etc ... But not the Wi-Fi settings, audio setting, etc. ...
Frank is my testing source, I don't regularly update it unless I am testing something new.
Don't ask me for features, I won't give them because I only add what is considered essential

Going to flash this, love your work on layers. I'm sure I'm gonna enjoy this!
Edit: It booted, with a little bit of nostalgia, lollipop boot animation with a twist. nice! However it went straight into "android is optimizing" even after a clean flash. Will report back after I've played a little.

Did you make sure to wipe your caches? Coming from the factory image, you should mount your system in twrp, wipe it, wipe dalvik and dalik-caches and most likely data
I'm working on fixing the camera, didn't realize it was broken till I took a actual picture (I just loaded it up and checked but didn't take a picture)

? Android pay works by cts verification, people are having a hard enough time on even keeping it working on stock with root, it will be a long while till we get it on working on aosp.
Been running it for few hours now, no major bugs so far.
Missing the camera app in the rom tho.
Using snap camera and it is as good as the stock one

I remove old aosp apps since most people replace them with Google apps or equivalent, that includes aosp browser, MMS, and a few others which is pretty standard in aosp ROMs since the apps still look like ics (I kept gallery because quickpic was bought out)

There is a themable MMS by Dave Wilson that works for aosp.
I don't have the link but I will post it once I get it from Dave
Hello. This is my first ROM, based off of Cyanogenmod. A few Cyanogen features have been removed, and some non-CM features have been added. I am still testing it, but it seems to work fine for my t769.
WILL NOT WORK ON EXHILERATE
If any moderator wants me to remove DL links and close thread, notify me immediately.
This is my personal ROM, I build one after every CM nightly that comes out. I'm just uploading it here/my Dropbox for anyone who wants the same experience.
What exactly have I done?
-UberKernel v1 1.89GHz stock clock
-Removed CM's annoying Statistics and Bug Reports
-Removed stock CM apps
-Added ES File Explorer Free in place of CM File Manager
-Added Kernel Tuner
-Added stock 4.2 AOSP Launcher in place of Trebuchet
-Replaced CM's Torch with the one from CM10 (now has strobe, a useful feature that was removed in KitKat)
-Replaced Browser with AOSP 4.1.2
-Added Anthony Resario's Afterburner theme
-Replaced CM's boot screen with a generic Android boot screen
-Replaced DeskClock with the AOSP equivalent from 4.1.2
-Removed some live wallpapers
-Added Link2SD system app
How to install
1. Make sure you have a recovery installed. If not, I will be uploading an Odin-compatible package in the future. I recommend Philz Touch, although a different CM based recovery will work. Not tested on TWRP, use at your own risk.
2. Make a NANDROID backup.
3. Wipe Data
4. Wipe /sytem
5. Wipe /cahce
6. Factory reset
7. Install ROM
8. Wipe the Dalvik
9. Factory reset
10. Reboot, and keep an eye on it. Apps will prompt for SU on boot.
11. After it's done, reboot and install GApps if you want/need them.
DISCLAIMER:
I am not responsible if you brick, fry, or otherwise destroy your device as a result of flashing this ROM. I will not claim liability or replace your device. All features included in this ROM are properties of their respective owners, I merely assembled them into one place.
Changelog:
1/10/2016 - First beta/testing release
Planned features:
-Better DSP manager
-New default background
-possible shutdown sequence
-Flash Player support
-maybe 2.0GHz clock rate if it doesn't burn my device
-Tweak battery/4G
-Button light fix
-AOSP KitKat launcher

Whats the battery life on this build??!

I'm behind on a nightly, so not as good as normal. Right now, my Blaze hasn't had its 4 year old battery replaced, but when on standby with WiFi, min/max frequency set to 192/1890MHz and Governor set to Samsung with a ROW I/O scheduler, get about 3 days until it completely dies. The temperature sensor in my battery is shot, so I can't accurately report temperatures until I can find a decent OEM battery replacement. WiFi doesn't work properly, which is a bug in the kernel I have to fix in the updater script. My suggestion (until I fix various things with my ROM) is to download the latest CM nightly, flash UberKernel V1, and use Link2SD to uninstall all of the CM bloatware. If you're feeling adventurous and daring you can flash this and report the results.
Im on Validus by GZRoms 4.4.4 and the thread seams to be closed.... Cant ask questions. I have NO more internal space, with barely any apps installed. It partitioned my internal to have its on storage, built in SD, and my ACTUAL external SD. I cannot figure how to move apps to SD, it will not work, Ive tried the app2sd fixes, ive gone to apps and enabled 'App moving' and rebooted. No dice. Any help?
---------- Post added at 04:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:33 PM ----------
My battery life is terrible most times on Validus 4.4.4 as well, even with the UBER 4.1 kernel. Thats why i asked you about the battery life on yours cause I need more. Have you used that 4.4.4? That one and yours seem to be the only ones and I need to be able to move apps2sd so I can actually have the apps I want. Literally have only 10 apps installed probably.

Try Link2SD, and try my ROM. I just released a new nightly, the WiFi should work, if not I need to update it again.
Also, the Blaze only comes with 1.4GB of internal storage. I use PA GApps pico, and install anything else I actually use (like maps and Hangouts Dialer). GApps can easily take up massive amounts of space. Battery life has been fixed in my latest nightly. Please try out the ROM and see what it does. You have to do a FULL SYSTEM WIPE, except for EFS and RADIO partitions. I use PhilZ Touch. app2SD is frankly a terrible app in comparison to Link2SD, which is included in my ROM. If you use the SAMSUNG governor and ROW I/O scheduler and the battery life still sucks, get a new battery. If you also constantly have 4G, Wifi, and Bluetooth as well as NFC on, that will definitely drain your battery. Open Battery Stats in Settings and tell me what uses the most battery. Turn your screen brightness all the way down.

Development has been halted as of now because some [email protected] stole my Blaze. I'm saving for a new one but I kinda need the $70 because its part of my food budget.
Every time I try to install setup wizard fails and the phone doesn't fully boot correctly. Any suggestions??

If it's the Cyanogenmod setup wizard, I cannot help, as I said development has been halted until I can get another Blaze.
It if's the Google setup, boot the phone without flashing GApps a few times, finish the CM setup wizard, change a few settings, browse the web. After that then flash GApps and add an account through settings.
Another thing you can try is booting the phone in Safe Mode by holding the Vol+ and Vol- keys during boot.
I can't seem to be able to clear the defaults for Launcher so that I enable a new one. Am I missing something or is it just not possible?

Use Link2SD to make the launcher you want a system app and then uninstall the one I included. I just bought another Blaze (mine was stolen) so I will resume development as soon as it arrives.
Also, how do you like the ROM? Does everything function properly?
By the way, the thanks button is right at the bottom of all of my posts.

Havent used it much, everytime I try and install, I get the error of Setupwizard force close and can never set up the ROM. When is your Blaze arriving? Any chances we will get any new updates or advances? I will try and reinstall today.

I don't know when, probably next week and depending upon where CM source is at in development we might see NoobROM 5.1. I like KitKat better, and this is more of a personal project so it might stay KitKat with 5.1 APIs.
I might just scrap the CM wizard. It's pretty useless and only serves its purpose for new users.

Hey I got it up and running pretty well, couple problems.... battery charged all night over night and my battery will not move past 26%. I dont think this is ROM specific as I was having weird battery issues before. I don't know what to do tho? And I have quite a few Force Closes of apps, including Facebook, and ESPN. They force close regularly and are pretty much unusable. Valadis ROM seemed a lot more stable. I love the link2SD tho it works almost flawless! I can now have my apps back, even tho 1 of 2 internal storage still shows only 20+MB free internal? Why? I have all my apps installed externally. Anyway, if we flash a different kernel, or the one from Valadus ROM, will it break the link2SD feature?? Idk what it is, but that ROM is smoother and less Force Closes. I'll keep running this and look forward to an update!

Slow down, speed racer.
To answer your questions:
Q. What's wrong with my battery?
A. The Blaze is known for battery issues. Go into recovery, wipe everything (SD card, system, dalvik, factory reset, and data+cache), and then flash a new ROM. If your battery issues persist your battery is shot. Order a new one online.
Q. Is your kernel stable?
A. It's as stable as I could get it. If you're having trouble with FCs, reinstall PA GApps 4.4.4.
Q. Will flashing a new kernel break the ROM?
Short answer: Yes.
Long, complicated answer: No.
Q. I have no space left.
A. To free up internal storage, make sure your SD card is at least 16GB, I recommend 32 for this ROM. Install all the apps you want and then get rid of the Play Store. I use Blackmart, and will include it in the next update.
