How to close Recent apps from the new resents style?
opethehowdyman said:
In response to the "clear all recent apps button". I saw this in a YouTube video. While in recent apps, from top of screen with one finger and bottom of screen with thumb, pinch together and all recent apps will close. I hope this will help.
http://youtu.be/166MLgzcqnw. At 1:50 in the video he describes closing all recent apps.

Yeah, I don't see why XT925 is supported, but we aren't. Also, doesn't this come with SU integrated in the settings app?
[ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat (mb886) [Unofficial] [beta 2.1]
Trying to select APN force closes.
Slimkat is the first KK rom I see it show "HOME" instead of T-Mobile as my carrier, under Straight Talk.

It does have superuser and asks for permissions when apps request root.

That's very unusual as well. Never seen that one before if you ask me. At least for me it does show T-Mobile which is what I have.
As for the superuser yes it works without a problem. That is why I mentioned. SuperSU to be flashed as optional. I don't like to wait 3 seconds to give root permissions to a trusted app
I think this ROM have enough to be my daily drive. Battery is very good and is very very stable. Some xposed framework for some theming and add few other options and I'm very happy

I have tried everything for the last 2hrs and haven't find any problems. So rom is up to date and working perfect to say no less.

Now if only we could get some AOSPA builds! I already asked CJ360 (from drdevs.com, same name on XDA) since he has builds up for XT925/6 and XT907, he said he's gonna get it stable on his XT926 then start building for all the other qcom/msm8960 family members.
Once source is available Im sure this will be in our hands very soon. Also Pacman is coming in a week or so according to their Irc
Yeah true I am syncing repo but Ubuntu on APU systems suck so I'll see later how it goes since it always gives me crash errors

According to http://slimroms.net/index.php/slim-bean-features it sounds like their camera has unique features.
EDIT: What I have noticed so far is that the dialer doesn't have the issue CM11 dialer does. When you first activate the phone and press he keypad icon CM11 shows up blank. This one doesn't seem to have that problem.
EDIT: I would like to see this rom complied from source, rather than "cleaning" up the CN one. For some reason I can't shake the "untrusting" feeling

Try it but don't blame me if you have issues.
I noticed GPS was conspicuously missing from the list of 'not working' stuff - could that mean...it does!! GPS is working!
I noticed a few quirks with this beautiful rom
First i saw that the peformance menu was missing from setting.
And this is soorta bad for me atleast (Top half of my digitizer doesent work) When pressing on the optical trackpad, it doesent select like it used to in cm10, i guess this is an easy fix
And the camera gets super glitchy only when its in landscape mode.
I'll keep looking, THIS ROM IS LE BEST

I can't get voicemail to change to my Google voice number on this rom. May be a bug, or I may need to clear phone data first. Never had to clear data before though.

Google voice is not something I've ever used and I can't be of much help as I don't have an active line on this phone. I don't really want to call verizon to temporarily swap back to this phone unless it's simple. This is one reason I'm longing for GSM.
Can you test this tomorrow after the first official evervolv nightly rolls out? I want to verify the issue on evervolv before trying to chase down an issue.
Also, can anyone else chime in on this?
I'll test it after the next nightly and let you know. Great work you do for us

Check the OP and post 2. It should answer your questions. The swipe feature (don't call it swype as that's proprietary and a different company) doesn't seem to be working properly with this ROM and gapps yet.
I actually use the Swype beta from their website. Seems to be perfect on this build I'm using, no lag now

CHANGE LOG:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/...Yy3r5QuqV8PHFoQMb8hoBwQ/edit?usp=docslist_api
Notice: I am not the developer of this ROM. I do however, have the developers consent to post this information for all of you to enjoy!
CarbonRom is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project. We are dedicated to fast, stable, and feature-filled roms, honesty and communication with our users, and openness with our code. We like frequent builds, with the very latest and greatest hardware support and fixes. We strive to not only provide you with the best rom we can build, but also to give back to the Android community and our fellow developers. For us, this is about creating something we can be proud of and hope you will enjoy.
Please feel free to look at, build, and use our code on CarbonDev GitHub.
We would like to thank CyanogenMod for their device trees, framework/settings mods and their code that was incorporated into this project. We also extend our gratitude to the devs whose code that we have incorporated. Proper authorship has been maintained and can be viewed on our repository.
Special thanks also go to Slim Rom for some of their features, PA, AOKP, and anyone else we may have borrowed commits from that hasn't been mentioned here. If you feel you have been unfairly left out, please - let us know.
While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device, family, pets, or perception of reality. We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash! If you have questions, ask your fellow users or ask us in #teamcarbon on freenode IRC.
1.6 is a pretty big update for us! Check out the changelog on our goo.im page for more, but here are the highlights:
-We've fixed PIE! It no longer decides to be invisible from time to time.
-We fixed the battery charge light! None of us use it but apparently you guys are just nuts for it!
-Dark Carbon! Huge props to Slim Roms for coming up with this unique and awesome feature.
-Lockscreen theming
-CM skinny battery is back!
-Volume key lock on silent mode option
-Backup tool - if you're flashing a new version of Carbon and already have the required version of gapps installed, it will be backed up and restored during install. This applies to system apps and custom host files as well. Please note that you should only dirty flash from Carbon to Carbon. It's ok if it's another version or a nightly - just not over other roms. Super handy for you crack flashers. Make sure you've got the most recent Gapps though, and if you're flashing from a factory reset, you'll still need to install it after install of course.
-Long pressing the "clear recents" button clears the cache
-3.4 kernel on D2xxx devices. It's finally stable enough where we're comfortable with this - remember to only flash other 3.4 kernels or it will not boot as there are rom-level dependencies.
-AOKP's awesome new navbar settings
-NFC polling mode for when you want to keep your screen off and scan tags
-MMS and call "breathe" feature. Makes the notification icon fade in and out.
-Mute dings when changing volume
-Disable/enable CRT effect on screen on/off.
-3rd party keyboard bug fixed
-deodexed again
-stability and speed enhancements
-a million other little things as well - we basically don't even sleep anymore.

HALO is included in every nightly build as of 6/11
GAPPS: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip
Remember that we also have nightlies available. Please remember that these are unsupported - they aren't releases, they are automatic builds of the most recent code. Sometimes they'll be excellent, sometimes they won't work, sometimes they won't even build. Expect the unexpected. Not for anyone who finds themselves intimidated by this - you're on your own. Demands that we improve the nightlies will be countered with laughter, taunts, and public shaming. Really ridiculous demands will be memorialized on our social media feeds.
Support
We spend an astonishing amount of time developing this software. We can't spend much time on XDA as a result, so if you need support, please try the following:
1) Search. Search, search, search. Yes, you. I don't care how unique or important your question is, it's very likely someone has adressed it already. Especially if you're even close to new at this.
2) Read our FAQ, which can be found on our goo.im page linked above. It's new, but expanding fast. Just like us!
3) Ask a question here. Someone will no doubt try to help you. Warning: this help may come in the form of telling you it's a dumb question that has been asked before. See step 1 - such are the perils of asking questions when you haven't done the research yourself. Android is about helping yourself.
4) Ask a question on our IRC channel. Connect to #teamcarbon on irc.freenode.net or click here. You'll find several other Carbon fans and usually one or more devs as well. Please be polite.

Not saying that it isn't, but are you allowed to post a thread for someone else's rom? (I know you said your not the developer and your taking or credit or anything like that) I'm assuming they will make the thread themselves once they want to put it up on XDA.
Because I've seen this on goo as well and I have a link to their goo site in my Index thread, but they just started pumping out nightlies like six days ago so I assume they will make their own thread when they're ready.
But if it's chill, thanks for getting it out here for people to see cause I don't think many saw the thread in general!
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda app-developers app
I believe it to be fine. It was discussed on the Google+ page, when/If it comes to the point that one of the developers would like to post their own thread here, I will delete this one.
It seems recently that CarbonROM has stopped posting on XDA and turned to Google+ for updates and discussion.
I don't see enough discussion for the Sprint GS4 on XDA, especially on such a popular device. Getting more ROMs on here is imperative to the activeness of this device.
Edit: We have the developer's consent.

A lot of things NOT WORKING!
I've tested this for a good while, for the past 2 nightlies
I have tested the one with the Halo feature but there are a lot of bugs
I don't get the notifications, only the LED flashes but nothing on the notification pull-down.
another one is, whenever I'm in an App [any app] when i press the home button, it does not take me home.
It doesn't respond to any of that.
I am not sure what GAPPS to flash because it doesn't come with anything on there except the stock apps.
I also didn't see the SuperUser.apk
no signal as well, only 1x, doesn't show 3G at all.
I love Carbon roms but unless my downloads have been corrupted or something, then it sucks because in a lot of ways this rom is useless.
I'm going to start from scratch with new downloads and see how it goes.
Do you mean read on your text messaging notification?

ROM works 100% for me!
Make sure you do a full wipe before flashing for the first time.
You should flash the latest gapps found on goo.im.
Superuser is built into the system. You can find it in the settings menu, under superuser
Halo is still in ALPHA, there will be quirks. The developers are currently in the process of releasing the much quicker, more stable BETA version.
Your other problems are not listed bugs on these releases, and are most likely a result of a bad flash. Re-download the file and try again.

AOIP meets Growl = The Best of Both ROMs
This is a port of Jb 4.3.1 Growl v5 (DarkLiquid/Smooth/Gaming/Battery) Samsung Galaxy W i8150 by @ipromeh, I am using @camcory’s Team Insomnia AOIP 2.0 (4.3) alpha for Galaxy Exhibit SGH-T679 as base. I didn’t make too many changes to the ROMs as i like to give credits to the original Developers, they put so much time and efforts to gives this, Thank you
This ROM has the Camera and Gallery working with no freezes
Everything else works from the original ROMs
Installation:
Please Backup your ROM using either TWRP or CWM (i use both)
Wipe Data, Cache…etc 3rd time is always a charm
Install Growl_AOIP_4.3.1.zip (If you have a better name please let me know)
Install Google Apps for JB 4.3
Reboot and give the phone few minutes to boot

Nandroided my setup and checking this out for the hell of it. I'll report back when I get an idea of how this performs. Love the boot animation!
Far as a name change, how about "GNAoIP" (keep the "O" lowercase and "gnaw" on AOIP instead of "growl" which is harder to incorporate into one name with AOIP). Noticed the notification drawer FC fix isn't included, so anybody using this ROM will need it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46284485&postcount=1327

the link has several jb gapps, none of which state 4.3 specifically. I have three already, but when I tried one, the newest one I had, it clearly was not the correct one. rather than go down the list, trying jb gapps until I find the right one, I thought s question was justified.

Well I have to say this is pretty stable and fairly fast. Unfortunately some minor annoyances are too much for me, and the sad thing is it has nothing to do with the ROM but the android version I'm sure. Latest Viper works but doesn't play well with 4.3 IMO. You can get it to work with your music players but you can't get it to work with system sounds at all. So if this app is controlling sound you won't hear any notifications/ringtones unless you turn the app off. Tried a million things but nothing changes that situation. The other problem is that ad blockers like the one @BSDgeek_Jake comes out with don't work, although maybe Crossbreeder could do the trick but it is really for 4.2. The developer has been working on a 4.3 update for 3 months. This is what is so frustrating when new android OS are released, it takes FOREVER for everything else to catch up.
Anyway nice work porting this and anybody who doesn't need some of the things I need would be pretty happy using this ROM.

I am a noob, so I will, on occasion, ask noobish questions. what seems obvious to you wasn't so clear to me. thank you for the link. I look forward to trying it out. it will have to be pretty good, though, to beat out the other new rom we got today (I forget the name). this one's pretty nice.

back in the phone's glory days ahaha. btw did you get weird fc on the camera after flashing the settings fix for the rom?
For me everything works great, looks like a great and buttery ROM, however most of the market apps wouldn't download for me including Facebook, what's app, Google search update just to name the few. What happens is download would start for a spilt second you would see the download animation in status bar and then stops right away. Play store would show that's it trying to download forever with no result. Please help.
I have reinstalled ROM, cleared play store and download manager app restated tons of time with no luck. Thanks in advance for your help.

I am having the same problem, I am trying different combinations of files to see if that fixes it.
Maybe one of the Developers of Team Insomnia can assist us with some help to figure out what broke the play store.
@ArtfulDodger Thanks for the review, i always read your posts as they are straight to the point, I usually keep my installed ROMs the way they are, so i can say much.
Anyway, This is a try and i am sure thing will get better with time.

I had trouble with Play initially, same problem you all describe. I just hit stop on the downloads while in progress, then started them again. They downloaded fine after that. Weird but simple solution. BTW a fix for V4 may be incorporating it into the ROM. If you decide to just ask @zhuhang first.
Tried stopping and starting but no downloading of apps from playstore

Awesome! My all time fav
I've already been grabbing the nightlies from the site but glad to see a thread posted on here finally. Thank you so much for making an official version for us. I cant wait until all the features have been added because this will most likely be my dd.
I've run several of the nightlies and flashed them with furnace kernel and it all ran smooth and stable.

Well I didn't flash gapps just for testing purposes. The ROM does indeed boot. You were also correct. I am impressed. Very nice ROM. I have not had a single FC off the bat and am playing through settings now. Looks like you did a great job as of right now though. Looking forward to the N5 thread. Thank you.

Nice man thanks a lot Ill give you an hour or two to preview it and check it out before I create a thread..Keep me posted and thanks again.. Ill also give you testing credit in the thread..
Haha, sweet deal. I haven't found any bugs yet. Working my way down the settings menu. Going to install again with some gapps this time so I can test the reverse lookup, etc. I'm not sure about needing to flash root or not yet, as I couldn't install a root app due to lack of play store. I'll report back in a few minutes. Downloading the mini modular package from PA. ~85MB. Shouldn't be too long.
I use slim minimal gapps and recommend them for the darkness switch compatibility ..

True, I just went with the first small package that came to mind. Okay so root does need to be flashed after the ROM and gapps.
So far I found 2 things.
1. Quick Setting tiles > style > transparency goes from a flat gray (normal) at 0%. Once you get it to 50% it will be come slightly transparent. 51-100% transparency will just make it turn flat black with no transparency. Not sure if it's meant to be like that but I can see through them on other ROMs. Not a big deal though.
2. I'll try again with slim gapps, but I can't use nearby places lookup. Doesn't work even after toggling in settings. But that might be a gapps issue so I'll check and see.
This ROM is quick. I like it a lot. So that's the only issues I noticed so far, everything else was working good. Well polished for the first release on this device. Honestly I don't think it even needs an Alpha/Beta tag. No reboots no SoD. Feels like its ready for primetime. all in all it would take more time to list what isn't working rather than what is which is what I did. No force closes, etc. Ready for a daily driver. I'm going to stick with it.

Edit: would you ever consider SuperSU over SuperUser? I know some don't like it because it isn't open source (last I heard) but it doesn't give me problems with some apps like superuser.
