Hello, does anyone have the weekly 7.4 (6152) download link. I've looked in the website, but can't find it. Thanks in advance.
Edit: Nvm, found a copy.

Probs installing slimkat Slim-crespo-4.4.4.build.9.0
Just FYI to anyone trying this - first a dirty flash, then a clean flash of Slim-crespo-4.4.4.build.9.0-WEEKLY-8321 with the Slim_normal_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385. Both installed fine but wouldn't connect to google servers during initial setup - i'd connect to wifi or 3G data (which I verified was connected and working) and enter my google login and it would immediately say "Couldn't sign in". This was the same behavior for both the dirty and the clean flash. Then I clean flashed the Slim-crespo-4.4.4.build.8.20-WEEKLY-8172 zip with the same gapps as above, same problem. Then I flashed the full gapps, same problem. Finally, what worked, was I clean flashed the Slim-crespo-4.4.4.build.8.20-WEEKLY-8172 with the MINI gapps (Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385) from the slimroms apge, and then that worked, and connected to google account login..... hope it helps someone else.

Hello guys, I'd like to install the latest stable version (Slimkat 4.4.2 build 5) on my gf's Nexus S. As this will be my first custom ROM install, I wonder which (minimal) slim_gapps build to use. I managed to get a copy of the 4.4.2 build 5. Or is it safe (or recommended) to use the 4.4.4 build 9?
Thanks in advance.

Hi!
Currently I have a CM11 M8 installed in my Google Nexus S.
I would like to know how much SlimKat is faster and lightweight than CM11?
Does it uses considerably less RAM memory?
Thanks!

Yes it's "faster" on benchmarks, but by only 100's of points.., and yes it is lightweight (nearly 100mb smaller).., and ram usage is very similar per how I used them..

I decided install SlimKat on my phone yesterday (Google Nexus S/crespo) and I could check this with my own eyes.
It is slightly faster.
It is lightweight in size.
And the TOTAL RAM available in Settings, that was 386MB in CM11, is 409MB in SlimKat.

It is a very good ROM, many options and smooth.
However, after installed, I have a big issue.
After installed gapps and sign-in my google account, almost all apps are back except Whatsapp. When it is downloading to 63% starting to install but failed because the APK is invalid. I think it is not completely downloaded yet.
How to fix this issue?
The battery seems that it is not as long as stock ROM (4.0.4).

Thank you Q&ABot for making this thread for us, it helps a bit. Ok, as for your question popo, I find that whatsapp issue very strange since it installed fine for me every time.
Maybe try backing it up on another rom, then restore the backup on AICP. And yes, its battery time is like most of our KK roms.

I think u should put your questions here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877166
This topic is only for LiquidSmooth questions
About your question: Install BMM and do partition stuffs then you will be able to install 4 more custom ROMs on your phone :fingers-crossed:
But first, read this great tutorial (including videos)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2602229
System 6 Error when loading Nano/mini Gapps on LS v32 Atrix2
I got brave today, after much reading on the forums and watching Tech ArnY rooting videos and BMM 0.3.4 - Great information.
Here are the steps that I took today and their results:
1.) Rooted the Atrix 2 MB865 (AT&T) that has OTA ICS 4.0.4 ROM. Rooting was successful,
2.) Post install of MBB 0.3.4 and SuperUser, I kept the ICS 4.0.4 ROM on System 1 of the phone.
3.) Next, following Tech Arn Y's teaching, I was able to successfully flash LiquidSmooth (AcePort-LS-KK-Milestone-3.2-edison.zip) onto System 3 post wipe clean /dalvik, et cetera and successful install.
4.) So far, so good. Next I attempted to load GAPPS from this link (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2397942). Again, post check of MD5 check sum for both mini and nano GAPPS - no issues.
5.) While attempting to flash either the mini or nano GAPPS onto the Atrix 2 into System 3, it shows the following (E: Error in /ext/pa_gapps-modular-nano-4.4.4-20141121-signed.zip) (Status 6) Installation aborted.
6.) I can boot into either ROM without issues, however, even after a reflash of System 3 and again successful install of LS-KK-Miestone 3.2, GAPPS gives Status 6 install error.
Looking for clues in these forums, but I have not come across anything yet. Any/all help would be very much appreciated!
@Starrider17 I'm betting your gapps are too large for your partition size. Find the PA gapps thread and download the pico gapps then try again. If it fails again the PA gapps will generate a log and place it on your SD card to tell you why it failed.

Thanks 1BadWolf for the reply. At first, I thought that the size of the GAPPS was perhaps the issue, but it did not end up to be the case. After continuing my search in XDA Forums (a wealth of great information here without doubt!), I stumbled upon a video that explained Status 6 and Status 7 errors which are the most common when flashing GAPPS post ROM into any phone. In my case, here is the summary of the events:
1.) Flashed pa-gapps mini 4.4.4 (at 229 mbytes ) - Status 6 error.
2.) Wipe clean System 3 and then flashed pa-gapps-nano 4.4.4 (at 120 mbytes) 2x - Status 6 error.
3.) Being somewhat frustrated, and yet challenged, I took the clue for the status 6 error and by chance, I grabbed the Slim_mini-gapps 4.4.4 (at 65 mybtes) - Gapps successfully loaded!
4.) Wanting to confirm whether the issue lives in the size of the GAPPS - or - something in one of the scripts (Meta-INF > com > google > android > update-binary or update-script), I went ahead and did another Wipe-Clean and flashed Slim-normal-gapps 4.4.4 (at 183 mbytes) - Gapps successfully loaded
Summary: In business and in life, something a solution or a work-around is found and implemented without knowing the root cause!
Hopefully, the documenting of my journey here will be beneficial to someone down the road just as many of the posting in this forum have been (and continue to be) to me too!
I have installed this ROM on my Atrix 2.. Stable rom as mentioned.I just found one bug,i.e The microphone for sound recording,Google voice or Whatsapp recording doesn't work But during a call the microphone does work.Please find a solution for it.

Hey guys, thanks for trying out my Liquidsmooth port and offering your feedback. Unfortunately, I'm no longer able to work on the existing ports or even lollipop since development has completely died down.
This is because our current recovery, BMM isn't able to boot any lollipop rom and it's the only working one we have. All developers and supporters have moved on pretty much, so all you can do is just play around with what's there. I'm still kinda around with my A2, but don't have the time to do anything anymore since I've moved onto a newer device, work, life, etc.
If you want someone to blame for this, firstly blame Motorola for the locked bootloader and then blame Google for making 5.0 have enforced SELinux which is why we can't boot any LP rom. Aside from that, this device is amazing to have and I hope you all have a wonderful time with it.

Wifi Getting disconnected in lockscreen
Hi Rohan. I have been using the 10th feb - aicp rom for some days now. ROM is pretty stable with TZ 4.13. One issue I faced is wifi gets disconnected after some time the phone is locked. When installing apps from play store, if I install 2-3 apps and leave the phone....phone gets locked and wifi gets disconnected. Throws error that "couldn't be downloaded" after unlocking.
Apps are installed perfectly if phone is active all the time while installing apps.
Is it a known issue ? Any workarounds ?
Can you tell how the kernel needs to be installed after flashing the rom?
I installed tz 4.14 on a stock rom and then installed Dirty Unicorns lp 5.0.2 and it changed the recovery from philz to CM , so I thought of again installing the Thunderzap and installed it again using flashtool but this time it didn't boot up.
Any tricks to get TZ working on this rom?

CM12.1 build error
Hi mikegapinski, I'm trying to build cm12.1 but got error when repo sync..
Kernel source aren't already into staging/cm12.1 branch, so I'm using AOSP source but still got error..
I'm doing right with kernel or not? Thank for your good work
Why doesn't CM autoupdate to 12? I'm using CM 11 and it shows up as updated. I tried manually checking for updates and no luck. :\
Thanks, updating now.
Set up CM-12.1 yesterday with build 20150327, looks like everything works just fine on my nexus 5. Bluetooth, Telephony, SIP-Telephony, SMS, WLAN works normal.
1st I flashed bootloader and radio from Google Factory Image 5.1.0 (LMY47I), the I did a factory reset, cache wipe and dalvik whipe in ClockworkRecovery, next thing I did was sideload build 20150327 and gapps-5.1.x-20150324-minimal-edition-signed.zip

Hello fellow PACs.
(Possibly) quick question on otg and PAC ROM. (Apologizes if it has already been asked)
Recently been using a otg ready memory stick to store photos and what nots..I had noticed in settings that under the information for apps there was an option to move to USB storage.
However when I select it it gives me not enough storage space on device.. It is a 32gb stick which have tried formated in both fat32 and NTFS yet it doesn't seem to work.
Do I require an additional app to fulfil this request or must I change kernel.. Would be greatful for some advice or guidance to a post explaining it:good:
Once again apologizes if it has already been asked
