Root [ROM][BETA][4.4.2] SlimKat for Virgin Mobile and Sprint 4/7/2014

[Dark One]

It was a touch laggy before but it seems better after the update. The memory management stuff helps a lot. You have zram enabled by default right?

Sorry if I am being annoying about the undervolt but are you sure its in the kernel? Were you able to test it and see if undervolting works in kk. Didnt work for me in 4.2 either worked in 4.1 it did. instavolt says it cannot the vdd file. So I go to advanced set custom sysfs path and for the path I say /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels is what I set what am I doing wrong?

Okay here's an update on what I found

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels does exsits but for some reason the app says it doesn't.

you can currently only to get it to work by typing this in adb or a terminal emulator as root.

Type this to lower the voltage by 25mV

[HIGH]echo '-25' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels [/HIGH]

Type this to up the voltage by 25mV

[HIGH]echo '+25' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels[/HIGH]

If you want to undervolt a specific frequency then type this

[HIGH]echo '1024000 1425' > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/cpufreq/vdd_levels[/HIGH]

The example above is telling it to only undervolt by 25mV at 1Ghz.

To get a list of all the frequency

Cool do I have to set this after every reboot?

yes but you could make a init.d script if you want.

Camera is not working

 

[JumpinJupiter]

Also its undervolted but it seems like its using more battery
Any reason for that?

 

[JumpinJupiter]

Have you noticed any battery difference undervolted?

Couple things:
Camera not working
Alarm notification flashes in corner when alarm is turned on
Can't install .apks downloaded from web browser (when i try to install lucky patcher for example, nova launcher says doing so will erase the desktop layout but nothing happens)

Flashed this yesterday with minimal gapps, clean flash, everything wiped. No errors. Had terrible lag, some graphical glitches, and camera didn't work. Notifications were delayed, or didn't come through at all. "acore" and "phone" processes repeatedly crashed. Those were the only issues I noticed while using the ROM, but there may be more I missed. I really appreciated the working 3G/1x indicator. Lol. WiFi worked perfectly.

All in all, I don't particularly care for SlimRoms and ended up reflashing AOKP 4.2.2 from Nandroid pending improvements and bugfixes on this release.
As always, thank you for your hard work and dedication Phenom! I look forward to a stable release of KK! (Maybe AOKP? )

Are you flashing clean or dirty? I don't know the ins and outs of everything, but I have the same problem with dirty flashes and a clean flash usually helps. Also, try the gapps packages from slimROMs page. I think it solved a few play store issues I was having when I was on this ROM

Wether I Clean or dirty flash, I get the same issue.

Is there a way to add lockscreen widgets and is SElinux status suppose to be disabled? I have looked it up and it seems it should be in either Permissive or Enforce Mode.

Widgets are disabled because of the low ram settings and yes selinux is supposed to be disabled since we don't have selinux support
