Grouping icons in folders / what a pain - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Greetings,
I successfully flashed SLIM 4.4.2 build 2.8 RC3 on my Nexus 4 (mako).
I find it very difficult to drag icons over folders. They keep bumping each other. I am eventually able to do it, but it takes several attempts.
It is very frustrating. :crying:
The same would happen with Cyanogenmod 10 and 11, but not as much as I a experiencing with slimkat.
Thanks.

What launcher have you been using? No problem here on slimkat either with the stock launcher or apex.

[Q] LMT Launcher is not working with 4.3 Stock ROM

After I flash the Stock 4.3 ROM and rooted I installed the LMT launcher. The Back/Search/Menu Keys are not functional. The only working keys are Home and Recent Apps. Is there any fix for this issue? :crying:
The app probably needs to be updated

Thanks for your answer! I was thinking maybe I missed some thing, I have this issue with some CM 4.2.2 ROM before. The LMT will work 100% functional after I flash the Gapps package. PS: I tried the Pie Control from Google Play it work fully functional....interesting

I tried installing supersu in my SGG3 because I still needed additional permission to access the root and it worked. This is the only solution I found and many seem to have not done. Hope this helps.

ART on Nexus S (Android 4.4 KitKat)

Hello!
I've installed our alpha build for Nexus S and installed Gapps. Than I tried the ART function instead... It worked..with Google services FCs.
So I believe that it could work as long as we flash compatible google apps?
What do you guys think?
I'd really like to see ART in action on my Nexus S
ART FC too
Im try and FC all GAPPS too... then reboot.
In dalvik all Ok
I've heard of ART. I understand it is suposto make apps quicker. Is there a sticky FAQ on ART VS DALVIC virtual machine?
You need to get odexed gapps to get ART working, here's one from a build for the N4:

So do you believe art on nexus s would work with those gapps?
I will give it a try later today.

Assuming the Nexus 4 and S both use the same gapp builds than I'd assume yes. If they use different builds of gapps normally, then someone would need to make an odexed build of them for the S. But I'm curious how it goes, turning on ART on mine would be nice, anything to eek out a little more speed would be awesome.
Use latest PA GApps
Whatsapp doesnt work with ART for me... Also it kind of screws up my system. I'll just stick to dalvic...

Firefox or another third party browser seems to work for the web, but google now will still be messed up... I am sure you installed correctly, but a clean install may help with ART?? You could try odexing, I liked how that worked with ART (minus the 15min initial boot time??) I don't like the gel / 4.4 laucher, I use Nova with no issues (not the 4.4 beta).. Devil kernel works well with this rom and has more available ram.. I did the full setup and restore of all my apps before switching to ART with no issues and no issues switching to ART after odexing..
If some one use openpdoide you cant use ART (mabye it will be fixed). I tried it an the whole system rebooted.....
AMAZING! I knew Android 4.4 is optimized for devices that only have 512 MB memory, but I thought that is just another Project Butter: won't be very obvious on low-end devices. As soon as I loaded CM 11, I found out I was wrong. It just bring my Nexus S back to life and I can't believe this is the successor of CM 10.2. Don't know how good it will be after switch to ART. Although I have a Nexus 4, I just feel happy that I don't need to throw this phone away.
I will try pa gapps .thx !
I am using [UNOFFICIAL][ROM][4.4][21112013] CyanogenMod 11 for Samsung Nexus S with Devil Kernel on ART. It works ok, but device gets really SLOW from time to time. With that I mean it is unusable for more than 5min.
It might be the kernel, I flashed Euroskank CM11 now and won't flash any kernel to see whats going on.
I am usign THOSE GAPPS.

Few Questions
I am running the D800 from At&t. I am coming from LiquidSmooth. I am running the stable version of this rom. All seems well but I have a few questions.
Is there anyway to enable knock to lock? I see knock to unlock works, not sure if I'm missing something?
Also, it seems my nav bar buttons are not working. I need to use the pie menu for on screen nav. And I can only launch it from the bottom right portion of the screen. That is the same thing when trying to use the regular nav bar, I can only use the most right button. I have wiped and reflashed a few times with no luck. I know that portion of the screen works because the keyboard works fine on that spot. It seemed like it stopped after changing LCD density? It seems like the phone thinks that portion of the screen is more towards the right, instead of the center. Because even when I open pie, I can only do it from the right bottom side of the screen not the middle.
EDIT: I tried changing the LCD density back to 480 and this did help with the nav bar, it seems to work fine. However the keyboard was useless. Using swipe it measure 2 lines each time when trying to use anything on the top row of keys..
The keyboard brings me to my next issue. I can't seem to select a predicted word? I try to touch it and it just clicks somewhere else around the word.
I am not sure these are ROM related, it could be another issue all together? But any help or ideas would be great appreciated! Thanks, Chris.

I use the fire chili theme and it works fine. Drgravy mentioned that most themes are made for cm and pa and that aicp framework is very different.

I'm on the latest but I didn't realize it was stock. I use hangouts.
I was downloaded the newest release (v7.0) based on android 4.4.4 but i noticed that the newest AICP Gapps release are for Android 4.4.2, its ok to flash those Gapps with this version ?
I have d802.
I used slimroms gapps
Is there any way to remove the Bluetooth and alarm icons from the status bar? I've searched through every setting and I can't find an option to disable those icons. I'm using Timely instead of the stock Clock app; I changed the setting in the stock app to get rid of the icon, but that didn't work.
I tried using GravityBox, and while it did work, all of the changes don't seem to stick on reboot. Also, it causes the navbar height reverts back to 48dpi (which I changed in the AICP ROM settings). Without GravityBox the navbar height sticks to the setting I select.
Other than these two minor issues, this ROM is exactly what I was looking for!
Hello all,
Planning to give this rom a try. I want to use a custom kernel with this. Can anyone please tell me that which kernel combo works best with this rom in terms of battery life.
Thank you for reading.

Problems with contacts sync

Thanks in advance,

Camera
Any modded camera works on this rom? Pls
where is option to change battery style ? I'm on AICP 7.0
problem with speaker
Hi, I flashed the 6.0 stable and up to far so good, then I went back to stock because I did not like the camera, but I can see that turning the speakers are much more quiet and the sound is very distorted I tried ll possible hack but I could not improve anything, besides the cases the problem is also in microphone that records badly. What i have to do now?
There is a meter of network speed in the status bar in version 5.0? What are the differences with the CM12?
Lost Data
Posting this in case it helps somebody that has lost data after flashing and sees this before they freak. Flashed the latest Lollipop build (and of course the 12b baseband) and lost data. I thought through everything. It didn't make sense and I'm pretty good about following OPs. I read and read and read, google searched, searched XDA, Phandroid, etc. I went back thru nandroids w/ correct basebands, stock, Liquid, AICP, PA. ?Nothing worked! I was about to revert to stock and start over. Then?! Ahh...hardware...that's it! Powered off, pulled SIM, cleaned contacts with a little alcohol, let dry, rebooted...voila! Data!

[Q] Widgets size problem

Good day everyon,
recentyl I reflashed my Nexus 7 2013 LTE from stacok kitkat 4.4.4 to Paranoid Android pa_deb-4.6-BETA6-20141103. Alotugh I am quite happy with that rom, there is one thing that bother me greatly. I will show you this on screenshots. Some widgtes f.ex. email are now a bit bigger , hence I cannot place for out them one screen, like I used to.
You can see in attachments what I used to have, and what I have now
Anyone can help with getting those widgets to be like sized as in stock kitkat?

Widgets are handled by the launcher, not the ROM

I don't know what launcher you were on with KitKat.
You can literally install any launcher from the play store and use it instead
