[Q&A] SlimKat Rom

I am starting this thread so all issues related to SlimKat Rom can be documented in one single place. Please post your Questions & Answers in here instead of in the SlimKat Rom Thread, lets try and keep that thread clean.
SlimKat ROM Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511512
All Credit goes to the developers, Please support them for continued development
I will try my best to keep the thread updated and have questions and solutions posted in the first three posts of this Thread:
How to Install SlimKat ROM
Assuming you have already rooted, unlocked boot loader and installed custom recovery. If not there are multitude guides to do so, search in the forum.
Step 1:
Download the following:
Current SlimKat ROM: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/979-hammerhead
Note SlimKat Rom is in beta currently
Current SlimGapps: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/978-addons4-4/downloads/dlsearch
Note Slim Gapps are also in Beta, You can choose to download the full Slimgapps or the minimalgapps thats your choice. You can also download the photosphere addon.
Current SuperSu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Step 2:
Place the downloaded file onto your nexus 5 using the provided cable, alternatively you can also download the files directly onto your phone using the browser.
Reboot into Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset (required)
Wipe Cache Partition (required)
I also always do the following (optional)
In mounts/ Storage
Format /system (optional)
Format /data (optional)
Format/cache (optional)
These are not necessary but I have made it a habit to do so.
Once you have performed the required resets, select Flash Zip file and flash in the following sequence
Flash SlimKat Rom
Flash SlimGapps
Flash SlimPhotoSphere (optional) Note: Does cause audio lag in recorded video with some kernels also videos are darker after photosphere flash. See Q&A section
Flash Kernel ( optional: only if you want to use a custom kernel)
Flash SuperSu ( I prefer SuperSu, SuperUser does not work properly for Me)
Reboot
Now your good to go and setup your phone.
Step 3: (optional)
~ Note for ART I follow this procedure:
After Flashing, once the phone starts I skip through the setup screen
Go to Settings-> About-> tap on build 7 times to enable developer options
Go to Settings-> Developer Options -> Select Runtime --> Art
Reboot and let it finish what its doing takes 10-15 mins.
Once done setup your phone how you like.
Reserved : Guide To SlimKat Features
Features And Guide
Once I have time I will break down all the slim settings and what they do
Features Not Included
PIE - Can be installed using Xposed Framework
HALO - Can be installed using Xposed Framework
NOTE: Xposed Framework does not play nice with ART, You will need to stick with Dalvik to use Xposed.
Feature Request
I will update this as users request features but please dont request features that can be added via addons such as xposed. There is no point adding those features to the ROM, those who want them can always install via Xposed

Questions and Answers
Frequently Asked Question
http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq
These Are for SlimKat 4.4.2 beta 1.95 + Slim_AIO_gapps_4.4.2 beta1.x
These will be updated/removed as SlimKat updates
DPI/ Screen Issues
[Q] What are the default DPI's
Stock Kitkat = 480
Stock SlimKat = 361
Lowest DPI working for me = 370
[Q] Water in the Google Maps app is distorted, streaked or all over the place when zoomed out
Its a DPI issue, this is how i resolved it:
Download: Rom Toolbox lite ( Free) from PlayStore
Run app -> Swipe left to switch tab to performance --> click build.prop Editor button
on this new screen-> swipe right to bring out menu on the left side of the screen
First option is LCD density Click that-->change Value to whatever you want --> click ok and reboot
once Rebooted do the following :
Settings-> Apps-> Maps-->clear data, also clear Cache--> Force Close
Open Maps and confirm everything is working.
Some users have been able to get the maps to work properly at 361 DPI, but the lowest value at which it will work for me is 370. Default Stock Kitkat DPI is 480. Default Stock SlimKat DPI is 361
[Q] Everything is too small on default SlimKat, how can i fix that
two solutions:
go into settings-->display-->font-->change font size to make it bigger
change DPI:
Download: Rom Toolbox lite ( Free) from PlayStore
Run app -> Swipe left to switch tab to performance --> click build.prop Editor button
on this new screen-> swipe right to bring out menu on the left side of the screen
First option is LCD density Click that-->change Value to whatever you want --> click ok and reboot
Default Stock Kitkat DPI is 480, stock SlimKat DPI is 361, 400 ~ 420 DPI works best for me
Recovery
[Q] TWRP asking for a password, even though user never setup a password
When TWRP asks for a password, hit cancel.
Then go to Wipe and Factory Reset.
If that doesn't work, then restart your recovery.
If that still doesn't work then try reflashing TWRP again.
Camera
[Q] What is True View in the Camera App
True view is a camera feature to show the whole field of view of the camera.
By default the field of view is stretched and cut on the sides to fit fullscreen.
http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/323-what-is-true-view
[Q] Why is the Camer app Missing HDR+
HDR+ and Photosphere are closed-source. AKA no way to be built from source and must be distributed as an add-on.
Flash photosphere camera if you want HDR+.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832042&postcount=27
Note: PhotoSphere Addon currently adds a audio lag in recorded videos and recorded Videos are much darker, Read Q&A below about audio lag when photosphere is installed, link for photosphere is in the first post ( Slim gapps/addons)
[Q] Audio Lag in recorded video after Installing Slim PhotoSphere
Flash a different kernel, that will fix the issue
confirmed fixed with trinity.
in Recovery, without wiping:
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Flash PhotoSphere
Flash Kernel of choice
Flash SuperSu
Reboot
NOTE: Videos are much darker when Photosphere addon has been installed
Misc
[Q] How do I access the chamber of secrets on SlimKat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48830608&postcount=25
[Q] Where are the QuickRecord recordings stored, are they cleared at boot and are they overwritten
/data/data/com.android.systemui/files/
It's never cleared from a reboot, but yes, rewritten each time you record.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832011&postcount=2577
[Q] Where is the clear all in the recent apps list
Clear all is not there as it is not needed, the list just shows the recently ran apps and provides the means of switching between apps quickly. Android will kill apps when needed there is no need to kill apps
[Q] I have no Mobile Network ( not data but no coverage at all)
This applies to only those who have no mobile network i.e they do not have a signal at all on their device and it does not say no service.
You somehow wiped the radio firmware, That needs to be restored.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514095
[Q] What is ART and what does it do
If you really need to know what ART is then you should not be using ART.
ART stands for Android Run Time, it is an experimental run time which is being developed by google to replace the current dalvik run time. Once released users would be able to get better performance and better battery life.
Currently, as ART is in experimental stage ( I would say Alpha, not even beta) the benefits of switching to ART are minimal. Not all apps are compatible with ART and most users will not see any performance or battery life improvements.
Thats why google buried it deep into the settings. Use at your own discretion. I suggest staying with Dalvik run time till further progress has been made on ART.

I'm not sure how to get that, I think you have to connect the device to the computer and use something in the SDK to be able to record screen, I could be wrong. Try searching for it. If I find a solution I'll let you know.

I am not sure if and when PIE is implemented if it would include LMT with it therefore i left it out. I believe the xposed framework PIE does have LMT support.
Hope there are enough people here to help me out. I've been using Slim ROMs for a couple years on G-Nex and now Nexus 5. On the last couple releases I've been having issues with Google Maps not getting a GPS fix, or when it does get a fix it's off by nearly a mile. GPS Data, Waze, Gas Buddy, etc. all work fine. After spending nearly a day re-flashing the ROM, app, clearing data, etc., I finally tried another ROM (Purity) and discovered that Google Maps gets a fix in less than 10 seconds and is within 20' accuracy. I used the latest Slim Gapps on Slim 1.95 and the CM Gapps on the Purity ROM. Has anyone had similar problems?

I just reflashed slimkat on my phone, took less then 5 seconds for it to get a GPS lock. Check the following:
Settings-> locations -> mode
Make sure high accuracy is selected
Also are you using a custom kernel ?
Flash sequence for ROMs is
Slimkat ROM
Slimgapps
Kernel ( if using custom kernel)
Supersu ( supersu always comes last)
Reboot.

Anyone have any issues with the stock Slim Explorer app. I've never really used it before as I've always been an ES Explorer user but want to switch having the auto toggle TRDS modes. The app loads up but as soon as I scroll the screen the app closes and I get a "Slim Explorer has stopped" message. I've seen it in the past a handful of times I went to change DPI with it before installing ES. I did a complete clean install(ie. manually wiped everything and re-downloaded and re-setup all my apps instead of restoring them with Titanium), sha matches, so I can't think of anything else that could be the issue. Maybe it doesn't agree with Super SU???
Yep, did all that except for the SuperSU bit. I did use SuperSU on the Purity install though but haven't had any problems with the built in Superuser before. I'll nandroid back to the Slim ROM to give it a try. It was with the stock kernel.

I've had issues with super user so always use supersu, but maps has nothing to do with either.
Did u check the settings?
Also sometimes you have to be outside to get a GPS lock,
Also try this:
Settings -> apps-> maps.
Clear data clear cache force close.
Reboot
Go outside and open maps c if that fixes it

OK, but it will be a while - when I went into recovery (TWRP) it asked for a password (which I haven't set) then failed to backup the existing ROM.

I have Super SU installed and working already seeing as I use Faux kernel as well as I've always had issues(even on a SlimBean port on Evo LTE)with Superuser unmounting the system as RW. It's weird. It only happens when I scroll from within the emulated/legacy/0 storage. I can scroll within the device partition and change settings just fine.
Do you use ART??? Only other thing I can think of.

Notification lights are limited to LED lights, to enhance battery life.

I guess!! you haven't wiped cache & Dalvik Cache before/after installing update. So, it's showing same version no. even after update.
Missing icons are due to lacunae in stock kernel( I've tried a lot, but Needs custom kernel)

(FIX) Force Close Problems

This is for all those guys there who are having force close problems after flashing a custom rom.
I myself was having force close problems in my Nokia X after flashing Lewa Rom. Loved it's looks but after I installed and opened apps/games like temple run , UC browser they started force closing.
So here's what you should do to stop apps from force closing-
1.Go to settings<apps.
2.Select the app/game which is force closing.
3.Select clear data and then clear cache.
4.Rebooting is a choice.
This should fix all the force close problems(well it did for me )
.
.
If this did not work for you then you can try this-
1.Reboot to your custom recovery.(CWM/TWRP/LEWA whatever)
2.Select advanced.
3.Select fix permissions.
4.Select/swipe to confirm.
5.Reboot
.
.
If this did not work for you either you can try downloading the Fix Permissions apps from Google Play Store.
Link:-https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stericson.permissionfix&hl=en
These methods should fix Force Close problems in your device.If yes then plz click thanks and support me.

Getting "unfortunately trebuchet has stopped" on CM 12.1 & RR 5.7.4 after wipe/format

Getting "unfortunately trebuchet has stopped" on CM 12.1 & RR 5.7.4 after wipe/format
Hi,
Ive been running Fonz's build of CM12.1 for over a year now, a few months ago I was updating some apps when my phone rebooted, and once I got to the lock screen I got the message "unfortunately trebuchet has stopped".
Nothing i could do would fix it, wiping davlik cache and main cache then dirty flashing the same rom again, no joy, so I bit the bullet and decided to install a different rom. This time I decided to go for something a little bit newer, don't want to use Nougat yet so flashed the last Marshmallow build of RR (5.7.4). After wiping everything except SD card and installing, all seemed ok until I started to install apps from my history, then it did the exact same thing. Booted into recovery, this time formatted instead of wiped, install went fine but the same thing happened again.
It does this on both roms an it seems to happen if I que more then 1 app to install at a time from the app store, or just randomly if I install each app one at a time. Does anyone know whats causing this ? :crying:
Thanks in advance.
here is another one. like you, i too was on fonz's CM12.1, was updating apps and ROM rebooted. i had a booloop first corrected by wiping cache and dalvik cache. however after booting normally it ended in launcher crashing indiscriminately, it crashes all type of launchers. i even did a clean reinstall of fonz's ROM after restoring apps it came back after a while. another telltale symptom is going into app manager (apps in settings menu) crashes settings app when you meddle in it (mostly crashes immediately).
my guess is that reboot while installing/updating apps corrupts something (not the dalvik cache) irrecoverably in the system. after the clean install, app store was only killed/crashed during app installation (there was no reboot) before the launcher started crashing again. just wiping/formatting other partitions(non-system) or dirty flashing ROM doesnot fix it.
i think some apps now are too big to be inflated for ART within 1GB of RAM for the app store and it gets killed by the kernel when it runs out of memory thresholds. i dont see how the app store could have been killed when i was doing nothing while installing the apps else. or in the unlikely but probable event it is a rogue app (hence app manager crashing).
have reluctantly moved to noughat since then (2 months now). in noughat app installation/update is lesser of a burden though. they have hybrid of something like the JIT (kitkat days) and ART. seemingly apps install/update way faster with less resources. i dont think we have choice.

Update: I installed lost101's optimized 5.1 stock, works perfect, but its 5.1 and still has stage freight vulnerabilities, at least Fonz's rom was 5.1.1 and had the security patches back ported up until he stopped developing it. I might give Lineage 14.1 or RR a try once they figure out all the bugs or move to Oreo, thanks for the info .
BTW, my phone crashed every time I tried to install Open Camera on cm12.1 and RR, works fine on optimized stock 5.1 so I don't know if its a ram limitation.
