[ROM] [AOSP] [4.2.2] Perfect Android [MANTA]

This is a ROM based off of the Android Open Source Project that I'm maintaining for myself that I'm sharing with the community.
This ROM doesn't have any special features found in most ROM's, instead I am more focused on keeping this a "STOCK" open source alternative to the shipped firmware.
If you are looking for something that is more developed I would suggest CyanogenMOD, AOKP, TeamEOS, or ParaniodAndroid, that offers more.
THIS ROM IS NOT ROOTED:
There are 3 different root apps out there in the wild and in the spirit of keeping everything as open as possible I have chosen NOT to include root, also I don't need root for anything that I do.
THIS ROM IS ODEXED:
De-odexing a rom has many pros and cons to it, one of the pros being that any modification to any apk such as theming is easier since all of the parts and info would be in one place, the apk being modified. One of the cons of de-odexing is that apks would take longer to into memory and this takes a hit on performance, not anything that is major but one example is first boot after a flash takes way longer on de-odexed roms vs odexed roms. There are apps and scripts out there to run if you need to de-odex.
If you have an error or something pops up I ask that before you post about it please make sure that you are running the ROM as provided. I cannot troubleshoot anything that is related to using other kernels, mods, or themes.
Google Apps are NOT included:

No problem.

Just flashed this. I'm really looking forward to it. I hope it doesn't give me issues like all the other roms I've tried so far.

Lots of random reboots. The last one I flashed would reboot while in a game, then wouldn't boot back up.
So far this seems great. My only issue is Mint isn't working. At all. I go to log in and it just sits there saying "Downloading data. This can take a couple minutes." Or something along those lines. Then it just sits there. When it does do something, it says "Unable to connect. Please check network connection."
I've cleared data, uninstalled, reinstalled, everything. But still won't work. No other apps are having issues with connectivity.
Any ideas on what it could be?

Sorry, totally forgot. Haha. I got home and tried, and it worked! So, it probably was what you said. Wouldn't have been the first time...
But it's working!

I'm getting a lot of reboots now. Several a day. This last one I was saving a video from the Play Store onto my tablet for offline viewing, screen off, and that was the only thing running. Then it just restarted. It also restarted while playing a game, The Simpsons game, and also browsing the web using Chrome.
I'm running yours completely stock, with no mods or anything.

Any plans to bring in aosp browser like you did for the nexus 4? Using this on the N4 and I plan to use it here for the the N10 too.

yeah I will waiting until 4.2.2 hits aosp before I update the rom

Hi there,
This update is running great, no reboot yet (fingers crossed).
I just have 2 "complaints" : reboot options on power menu and kill all on recent menu.
Cheers
Edit: one thing to add, my calendar is acting funky. Just one color for events and the events can only be seen on a widget. I used the latest gapps from goo.

Glad that this is running good for you, now about your complaints. I am not gonna add those "features" because to me it would be like google inventing the "notification pull down" then apple adding a "notification shade" and calling it innovative, those are common in almost every rom if I am gonna make something common I'd rather keep it pure but functional and not "keep up with the Jones'".
I do provide my source, if you want to build and cherry-pick whatever feature in that you want.

Cool, I respect that. Baking my own ROM is on my bucket list but grad school is too busy

OK please try to go easy, Im not a noob (Im just getting old) I just had my i717 note 1 stolen and i got an att Galaxy S3 on the way... Just prepping, I want to do the most stable paranoid android build out and get into some phablet action. Where can I get the install files for the 3/15 version, it sounds like thats the most stable at this point, any suggestions or points to the contrary, but most importantly where can I find the basic files for the 3/15 and whatever else you need to get from stock ui to PA... Any tips are so greatly appreciated, seriously. XDA love..
Just need to be pointed in the right direction, need full camera/main functions to maintain functionality so whats the way to go for stable tablet style PLEASE HELPPP, LOL
Sincere sincere thanks from an overworked and slightly behind the curve but loyal and dedicated Android user.

I am using 3.11. The OLED changes to its battery fully charged color @ 90%. Is there is there a way to fix this?

Everything is running great. I came from ParanoidKangDroid because of a couple programs where expanded desktop didn't stick.
I haven't been able to make my lock screen pie be the same colors as my device wide color scheme. It always defaults to stock colors for that. Ideas?

S3 lockups and LTE?
Hi
I put this on my GS3 (I747 AT&T) last night and so far it's pretty good.
I have noticed some weird occasional lockups and reboots, which is find for unofficial rom, I know what I'm getting into.
My other issue is that it seems to prefer 3G, HSDA, or HSDA+ over LTE even though I'm in a market with extensive LTE coverage. Is there any way to "weight" this?
Also the on-screen soft keys seem redundant, is there a way to disable them without disabling the status bar (PIE mode hides both)?
Thanks!

Lockups and reboots are kernel related you can try flashing another kernel (or wait for an update) I use this. It's the 4/09 All-Star Devs Kernel. You have to make sure if you flash a kernel not to go any newer than 4/09/13 or it won't work this this ROM until it gets updated.
Make sure your APN settings are correct, make sure LTE is selected in your settings and if all else fails do a Speed Test to check your speeds.
You can disable Nav Bar (Bottom) Settings > Hybrid Properties > Nav Bar 0% Apply and reboot if it prompts for it.

Awesome, thanks for the advice, I'll give it a shot!

Actually, I have noticed the same thing for me, only in the past two days.. Specifically: random sleeps of death with no regularity, and when trying to use Spotify, or I Heart Radio when plugged into my headphones (Samsung set that came with the phone) phone will not play music through the app, but it will work just fine when plugged into an aux cable... I have changed nothing in my kernel settings, or system settings since things settled down.
Very strange.

Thanks I was having some problems that kernel seem to fix them.

tablet ui statusbar clock size
Is there anyway to change the clock size and position of the date in tablet ui. The giant clock and date rilling off the edge is a deal breaker for me and this ROM. I've searched everywhere I know of and would apprieciate any advise. Thanks

Yup only nexus devices and now the Oppo Find 5 are supported other devices are not supported. Someone has ported Paranoid Android over to unofficial devices.

What do the instructions mean by "update recovery"?
Thanks!

I'm on the latest version of Paranoid Android. I've been experiencing this weird noise. It happens when the phone is placed down or just the screen turning on or off. In the video, it sounds like I'm placing the phone down with some force but I've activated the sound even when putting it down super gently.
Here's the video:

If anyone can tell me how to disable this noise or what causes it, I would be greatly appreciative!

Simple answer:
The instructions are simply telling you to make sure that you have the most recent recovery for your device is installed, and if not, to install it. Oftentimes not having an updated recovery is what causes the Status 7 errors when trying to flash new ROMs.

Uhm, that is odd? Though it sounds like it might be the notification sound of the microsd card disengaging and re-engaging?
Just a thought.

I read in the PA development thread that ATT and TMO roms are.interchangeable. Has anybody tried flashing the T-Mobile PA onto their ATT s3?

Other than the updated kernel and displays drivers there is no difference in roms. Regardless if it'll work it won't give you anything you don't already have.

From previous Android 4.3 builds at around 99mb to 140mb for 4.4... What's the extra that is included?

So for anyone trying this, here's my results after a little trial & error
Latest twrp didn't flash, aborted installation, error 7, etc..... In the n4/mako threads the majority of users were having this issue (worked fine for me). twrp for mako has been updated, but still waiting on a manta update
In the meantime i went over to cwm recovery thread. Haven't used that in ages and it seems there may be issues with some of their updates in general. There are flashables available for the last several versions. Here's the one that worked for me:
Clockwork_MOD-6.0.3.8-Touch-manta.zip
edit: just now signing in, everything booted well....happy flashing!

Went ahead and no problems so far (FCs with a couple of apps, but I guess that's to be expected coming from 4.3). Yeah, the keyboard popup with the Google launcher is annoying as hell. Went directly to Nova. And I hope TWRP gets updated soon. Not a big fan of CWM.
Edit: CWM recoveries are written to the system partition, correct? So they're not accessible with any ROM/Nandroid management app?

OK, fully wiped again. No mods, only signed in. YouTube isn't playing back for me. Only app I downloaded was Netflix, didn't work either. Not complaining, it's early, just thought if give a heads up for everybody. Otherwise the performance is excellent. Can't wait for this to move forward :good:

​
[SIZE=+2]This thread has been created for people to share issues,
question and help
while using SlimKat 4.4 for the T Mobile Galaxy S4​[/SIZE]
PLEASE make sure to thank the entire Slim Team for their dedication to this ROM
Please do not clutter any Development thread with non related development chatter
*​
I am not the developer for SlimKat, SlimBean, Slim Fast, Fat Boy Slim, or anything else with Slim in the title.
This is NOT a development thread and as such is designed to be a little more noob friendly than a development thread. Please don't hessiate to ask any questions you have here, but please do try to search first to see if there is a known sollution to your issue before posting a new question about it.
If you have development related bug issue, send an bug report to the Slim team. See post 2 for instructions.
Please see this note from the Slim development team and PLEASE take it to heart!
Please note: SlimKat and KitKat in general is in an early stage. Still some apps are not compatible and still some devices have to fight with smaller issues on the other hands a lot devices are already quiet stable. Whatever please keep in mind that this builds are labled for a reason as beta builds. As a lot slim user know we only tag our builds stable when they are already 100% stable and all features are back. But you will be surprised how stable it is already

Indivudal apps need to be tweaks to run on KitKat. If you have a favorite app that doesn't work, check with the developer of that app first to see if it runs on 4.4 before asking why it doesn't work here. (If it was last updated in February of 2012 or something like that, it hasn't been tweaked for KitKat.). In short, it's probably not the rom's fault.
As of December 8th Blk_Jack is back on XDA with a new thread for Slim Kat!
Click here to view it
That is a development thread. Keep your posts there development related. That does not mean "How come my phone no boot?" or "Thx for this ROM iz smooth like butta!". That means specific issues tht haven't been reported 900 times previously. Search that thread for a similar post to yours BEFORE posting!!!

Reporting Bugs:
The Slim Team has a very specific way they ask that bugs be reported. You can do it right through the bug report feature of the ROM. But do it this way...(This is right from the Slim site. It is the best way to make errors known to the Slim developers)
When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist. The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.
1. Make a nandroid backup.
2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways, 3A and 3B, depending on what kind of problem you're having.
3A. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.
3B. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.
Now when you're done with either 3A or 3B proceed with the following:
4. Now reproduce the bug (if possible more than once). After you reproduced the bug go into settings and SlimCenter and click on Bugreport. A bugreport.zip will appear on your sdcard in a directory called Slim.
5. Attach this zip in the correct thread along with your report. Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).

I know the device maintainers have been testing the S4 builds for a couple of weeks now and making improvements among their team. So you're not getting an early Alpha release here or anything.
The maintainer for the international S4 is very active in the i9505 forums and has been talking about SlimKat for a while, saying how stable it already is. That's pretty standard for the Slim team. They do not putz around with releasing buggy builds.
That said I'm sure it's not perfect yet. SlimKat isn't going to be 100% error free just yet and isn't going to help you create sustainable cold fusion or anything like that (yet...). So be prepared for a little wonkiness early on. But if history is any indicator, you can probabyl expect a really nice experience from from teh start.

Running good so far!! Missing some things from SlimBean that I really liked but being in beta they will eventually come. Will be my DD assuming I don't have any issues.

The main things are all the status bar tweaks (hiding battery and signal bars), no theme engine, quick settings are missing a few things, widgets on the lock screen. All I can think of right now.
Still a very solid rom though. Currently will be my DD.

You can enable the widgets for your lock screen. Only bug I'm confronting is that NFC doesn't turn off some times. I have to click it a couple times through the quick toggles. Besides that, I get FC's with gapps but that's been mentioned before.

No theme engine? What are we?
ANIMALS!? What's next, do we have to eat our young?!
I kid! I kid! I understand it's a beta. I'm just messing around. It is funny though, I've gotten so used to my orange themed Androids that its a shocking concept to think I might have to use the standard blue for a week! The horrors! :laugh: (Again, I'm kidding. If anyone takes this seriously relax)
I do look at people who love TouchWiz and I can't figure out how they put up with not being able to change the colors. This is like the single greatest feature in AOSP ROMs to me, even more than all the actually important tweaks that make AOSP run so well.

Is anyone's NFC working? It never turns on for me.

Downloaded but haven't had time to flash yet. Is the Real Dark Slim in here??

Never used it but mine seems to be stuck on. Can't attach a screenshot for some reason.

There is already an update!
It's called Beta 1.1 Weekly and there is no changelog included with it so I imagine it's just some upstream updates and tweaks since yesterday and not a lot of major improvements. But an update is an update!

So far the beta builds give me trouble booting. I get hung on the splash screen a lot. It akes a bunch of chances to get it to boot. It always eventually works though.
Here's a list of what I've found is missing so far...
Transparent status bar
Dark Slim
Theme Engine
DPI changing in settings (Can probably still do it in build.prop)
List scroll animations
Probably more...
But it's all superficial stuff like this. The 'under the hood' type stuff all seems to work well.

Ditto to that and thanks:highfive:

Been waiting for this ROM since 4.4 dropped. None of the others could do the trick. Thanks!

Let me know if it's all good. Skyrocket I'd so this shouldn't be any different

Car vs driver said CM has a couple of patches that should enable it in the near future and I assume it will be showing up in Slim shortly thereafter.

Initial Impressions
This is just too tempting, so I'm going to play around with this tonight. A few things so far:
1. Have to say the boot animation is just too sweet!
2. I just ran ART and for the first time on a 4.4 ROM it went smoothly (that alone is impressive). I have tried the dialer, voice commands, camera (did not try to record yet, sorry!), Play, and settings with no FCs. Next I'm going to restore my apps from TB and see what happens. Installing apps does take longer as expected with ART but they open lightning fast.
3. After installing and setting up, the ROM froze up a couple of times. After ART installed, so far so good.
4. Those who might be wondering, the ROM can't be themed as of yet but I can live with that if things work & play well together.
I'll report more stuff after I've had a chance to use this and post a few screenshots in a bit. This is a very nice alpha build that could be labeled as beta. No disrespect but @prbassplayer & the SlimTeam seem to be ahead of the game on getting 4.4 going for this phone IMHO. Each build I have tried for CM11 so far has been a nightmare from the get go, and keep in mind I love CyanogenMod as a ROM in general. I'm sure ultimately however they will have 4.4 perfected though. This is no easy task to say the least!

With this ROM it's the same process, just enable it in developer options. The phone will reboot and you will get the usual "android is upgrading, optimizing apps". Takes a while as OP states but things are good after. Like I said, ART just hasn't work on CM11 for me so this a great. Now the next question will be if my normal user apps are going to work. Course I know if one doesn't, it's not the ROM, it's the app's inability to adapt to ART.
