Hi, I just got my 4GB Lenovo P780 from China today and I am really confused which ROMs are at all worth to install, since I see that even official ones cause some problems. I would like to ask those of you who have good stable ROMs, which ones should I consider.
Here are my priorities in order:
1. STABLE. No resets out of the blue etc.
2. EVERYTHING WORKS. Wifi hotspot, CALLS, 2 SIMs, camera, SMS, stable connection, radio, bluetooth etc. If something doesn't work, I don't want to take such a ROM into consideration.
3. NO APP PROBLEMS. I read about messed up call logs, google calendar not synchronizing, gmail checking all mail as read, some youtube and gallery problems etc about some ROMs. I don't want any of that. Normal working ROM without such a strange problems.. I want all things to be normal.
4. LONG LASTING BATTERY. Battery is one of the reasons I bought this phone and I want it to be long lasting.
5. FULLY ENGLISH. I don't want to see Chinese mess there.
6. FAST. Smooth, powerful in games etc. Lot of RAM available etc. The faster, the better
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
7. KIT KAT. Only if all above is true. If not, I would even prefer Froyo. I would like newest system but "bulletproofness" is simply more important to me.
8. NICE UI. Those Vibe UI themes seem to be interesting, but it isn't really important for me. Would prefer old boring but bulletproof. I also don't care for those Lenovo apps if they are there or not.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
9. GOOGLE HOTWORDS. "Ok google" etc. I didn't really use it with my last phone, but wouldn't mind
10. PRE ROOTED, with all the necessary tricks already applied. The less work needed, the better.
11. FREE SPACE. The more, the better. But not so important. Always can use MountsS2SD or something similar.
12. USB MASS STORAGE. Not very necessary but would prefer.
13. POLISH LANGUAGE. I don't know if I will use it at all and it's not really necessary, but wouldn't mind to try
In other words stable, fully working, smooth ROM with long lasting battery. Points 1-6 are the most important and I would like the ROM that fulfills them all. All other things extra in specified order. 9-13 are not really important.
Do you know any ROM I would be happy with?
Thanks in advance
Try ported oppo os. I have good experience with this rom. So smooth with 4gb ram

Thanks. You mean this one: lenovo-forums.ru/topic/4066-oppo-color-lenovo-p780 (can't post links)? I like how it looks. There are few versions there, which one do you use? Unfortunately Google Translator doesn't provide me with useful translation so I don't know what's the difference between them. Is it fully english? Did you have any problems with this ROM? Could I PM you if I had questions?
Cheers

LiFe is one that I considered based on my research before asking this question. Do you use 0.7 or 0.9? I'm asking because 0.9 seemed more problematic / less stable from what I read.

Hi i used both of them. V.07 for about 7 month and V.09 for 2 month.
Both were stable for my phone. No crazy freez, no sudden restarts, no errors, simply and functional.
I have installed about 45 apps and have not experienced any error.
I do not know what other experienced but this is my experience wit this two roms.
Good luck.
LiFe Is the way

I have also been on LiFe v07 & 09, 09 is kitkat but when i uprgraded had this phone for a while and have tried many many roms but i stuck with LiFe for 2 reasons still had the performance but with out the bloatware apps, and also for the flexibility off storage space. But no matter what rom you choose stick with it have had issues with corrupt backups, havent lost anything but has cost a lot of time getting everything back, also if you have the chinese version with 2014 firmware some roms will work without any hassle others will get you a bit more involved, so make sure what version of p780 CN or ROW
I would recommend slx rom.
I installed LiFe 0.9 and will test it. All good for now but I can't find app drawer in this launcher From screenshots on needrom website it seems it doesn't have app drawer. Does it or do I need to install different launcher? I loved the launcher I had before (especially notification drawer toggles), but don't know which one it was (I believe it might be one from screenshot below).

}
EDIT: It seems that new VIBE UI is "App Drawer less" (link). I need to go back to old one or change the launcher.
I would stick with the stock Lenovo JB ROW v24 ROM. It works perfectly, no lag, stable, responsive, plenty of memory, no bloat (you can remove many of the apps if you don't want) and nice and quick. You will need to install Light Flow to get the LED working but this is the same with all ROM as Lenovo think you only need LED notifications for missed calls and SMS.
You can root JB easily enough, no need for pre-root and it has Polish language. You can also use the repartition mod here http://forum.xda-developers.com/lenovo-p780/general/p780-repartition-storage-t2668744 to get more storage space if necessary (you can install apps to SD card anyway).
Best of all, the stock JB battery app is very good and this ROM had the best battery life of all the ones I've tried.

Did you repartition it yourself? If yes, which option from the above guide did you use? With Option 4 I would have system, apps and apps data on the same partition? (I would love to have it that way)
I sure recommend Sale's Aosp Neatrom v8. It's perfect for me.

No, I mean the official non-rooted P780 ROM from here http://www.needrom.com/download/lenovo-p780-2/. Install that and update through OTA to s124.

Yes, I updated myself but I would use the option that gives you 2.5GB as you will need at least 1.5GB to install KitKat OTA if you decide to upgrade.

After bricking my phone and trying dosen of different ROMs I finally got s124. ROMs from your link didn't work for me (couldn't update them). What worked for me was this s123 ROM that updated through OTA to s124.
Now in one of your post you are saying v24 and in the other s124. Those signatures are different. If I remember well s116 was V20. My current ROM is S124 V23 and OTA update shows that I can update it to S220. Is this what you meant?

Yes, I meant firmware S124, small typo there (sorry!), but the way to get S124 is to install S123 which was the link I posted above, and then OTA update to S124 which is the last official JB version. As you have seen, there is an S220 OTA update available which will update your phone to Kitkat so unless you want KitKat, stick with S124.
If you do update to KitKat S220, then keep doing OTA updates as it's currently at S226.
Thanks for help. I'll stay with S124 for now as there are still issues with S226 (as well as previous KitKat ROMs) - forums.lenovo.com link.

Hello everyone.
This is my first ROM here, I'm not a fan of "big customized ROMs", so I'm posting my own CM9 build here.
As the title name suggests, it's a lite version of the CM9. The full CM9 has ~130MB [without Google Apps], and my lite version has only ~100MB [with Google Apps].
Now, I'm posting my own CM10 build here too. It isn't too lite as CM9, but full CM10 [144MB] + Google Apps [85MB] is bigger then CM9, so the minimum I got was 118MB, making it similar with my CM9 lite.
My main goal here is to provide something simple and clean. Hope you like...
Some of the features [CM10 and CM9]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not even a little bloated [even update-script was cleanned]
Siyah kernel [gokhanmoral]
ThunderBolt! scripts deactivated + screenstate scaling modified activated [pikachu01]
Trebuchet launcher
Gallery app from CM9 zip [not the one from Google Apps][only CM9]
New boot animation [thanks to someone I don't remember who is]
Stock appearence [nothing visual changed]
No CWM manager. Siyah installs it automatically, so I disabled it
Some small build.prop tweaks
Lots of apks removed. Email, Voice Dialer, Google Search, Browser, and more
Google Apps also cleaned. Removed some stuff like some libs, Talk, Search, Voice Search, and more
Seems fast and economic enough to me. If you do not like Siyah, I provided a zip to restore to "stock kernel-defaults"
Undervolt init.d script inside, if you want to undervolt by script and not by apps
Separated zip with Google Search + Voice Search included [only CM10]
Multi-DPI support [only CM10, for now]
218dpi [only CM10, for now]
LQB RIL, which suck less. Better compatibility using LQ6 modem [only CM10, for now]
*Maybe other stuff you may only find out after installing [in other words, I may not remember]
Some tips for you
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
ThunderBolt! scripts are disabled by default. Please, read it's original thread, and then copy the scripts you want from /system/etc/scripts to /system/etc/init.d. [you may want to use main script {S97system_tweak}, it's awesome. Please note it sets i/o scheduler to sio automatically.
Gallery from Google Apps isn't good. I'm using the one from the CM9 zip {Gallery2.apk}. It's pretty good, runs faster, it's cleaner, made my Media server battery % go down a little bit... [only CM9]
You may want to use AdAway to block ads. I didn't put that because it gets updated very easy. But it's usually the first app I install after I install the ROM.
If you don't like Siyah and want to go to another kernel, please flash the "default kernel zip". I optimized the ROM to don't install busybox, as Siyah already installs, and also, blocked CWM manager install. "default kernel zip" will delete my Siyah optimizations by cleaning old files, installing busybox and flashing stock CM9/CM10 kernel.
If you want CWM manager, delete /system/.siyah n' reboot.
You won't find any browser after installing. It's because I'm using Chrome, so I don't need stock browser. I recommend Chrome very much, but just make sure you disable Tilt Scrolling, to don't get the damn wakelock which will absolutely drain all your battery.
I included a undervolt script {/system/etc/scripts/S92CPU_Voltages}. PLEASE, before copying to init.d, edit with YOUR undervolt set. Those are mine, and I'm using only 5 steps on Siyah. Make sure you adapt it to you.
Don't flash Google Apps. Everything you need at one zip.
Some good Siyah settings for ExTweaks: ondemand, sio, 5 cpu steps, logger disabled, choose any vibration level [i use 3]. Please, don't limit the performance a lot, leave everything else stock except undervoltage [if you know what you are doing]. Don't care a lot about battery, always prefer performance [smooth performance at some point, where you get no lags]
Don't care about battery. Use and abuse your phone. If your battery isn't going further than 2 days, just plug your charger at day one. This ROM may be economic for you. What I do: if the battery can last at least from morning to evening, it's good enough to me. Then, I plug to the charger and sleep. Much better than looking at battery % all the time.
Screenstate scaling scales your CPU depending on your screen state. Screen-on: ondemand/1,2GHz max-200MHz min. Screen-off: ondemand/500MHz max-200MHz min. This may save a lot/some juice.

Since you speak portuguese too, it's "Rolar ao inclinar" in the "Ferram. para desenvolvedores". Just disable it and done. If you don't, you will get the suspend_backoff wakelock, which can drain from 100% to 0% in some hours, even with screen off.

Anytime you want, you just flash the "default kernel" zip. Then you can flash any kernel you want.

No, just need to copy. But the remounti9100 needs to be activated on Script Manager(as root and boot). I think Siyah already include many parts of ThunderBolt, but I'll take a look.

You can't. Those are apks from a Samsung ROM, so CM9 is incompatible. If you want another dialer, you may try exDialer. I tested it sometime ago and it doesn't seems bad.
Downloading... gonna try it in a bit
I have one "tips" tho: IMHO one of the best way to make a LITE rom is to include everything (for everything I mean CM9 + gapps things ) and let the user decide on what he/she want's with the aroma installer!
Well, download almost finished gonna try it as a second ROM on siyah kernel, or i will get problem if i install this as second ROM?
Thanks and keep up the good work

the problem with aroma is that u will have to provide everything in one package. the goal here is i think to keep filesize as small as possible. i like the idea about a lite stable cm9 version. every addon can be found here on the forum or in the play store so no need to include them. its a good base to build on. thx marcello!

Yeah, i know that! I think the goals are 2:
1) Provide a lite stable rom
2) Reduce the package file
Maybe he can create 2 separate files: with and without aroma, this way he can bring the user experience even further obviously this is my "idea" and only giving a different point of view
Actually I'm on test, no problem atm
How about a Lite CM10?

I did this to myself (the one I'm using is adapted a little for me, a bit optimized for Brazil and some other system apks), something small, that I can leave on my phone without killing too much space. And include everything with aroma I would have to change the name from Lite to Full But anyway, if I have time, I could make it with aroma, but not with everything, just with the stuff people usually uses.
But mainly, I want to provide small file sizes and fast downloads. [100MB and download at mediafire {the best, full speed, no ridiculous waitings}]
Thanks, btw

Hi all, this ROM is amazing, so fast, smooth and superb battery life.
Question: if I update syiah kernel in the future, the optmizing for cm9 lite + syiah 4.1 beta 6, will be lost?

No. Explaining better those optimizations:
1. removed busybox. Siyah already have busybox.
2. Blocked CWM manager install. I don't like it, and is much easy to go recovery from power dialog
pretty much that. So I don't see any problem in upgrading Siyah, or even changing to another kernel. The default kernel zip is only to users who likes the stock cm kernel / the kernel they are installing doesn't have busybox / clean up old siyah files. Oh, i'm going to make it also hide siyah's boot logo. Next version, maybe.
Working on CM10. In a few hours (maybe 1h, depending on my upload rate ["1mpbs on paper", but not very true]) I'll put it here. Is someone interested on the Google Voice Search? Just in case I'll put in a separatly zip later (first, CM10), because it costs like 30MB, and I want to get in the double digits (<100MB). If anyone knows some tweaks on 7z rather then "ultra" it would be very useful.
edit: no more double digits... full CM10 is 144MB and Google Apps is 85MB. The minimum size I got was 118MB.
updated thread with CM10... hope you guys like it. Please, some feedbacks, if anyone installs it

Thanks you guys! Let me know if you find any problems. Ill see what I can do to fix them. Also make sure you follow the install directions all the way through. In the future post-install user edits wont be required. I just need to work out some kinks first and im learning as I go. =)
Nice! This is definitely different (ICS with Google Now). Just curious, how essential is Launcher 7? I'm guessing not at all, but I'm curious. I'm enjoying CM7 currently, but this is highly tempting.

Noo it's not required at all. But consider trying it out you might like it! :good:
Also, in case any of you are wondering why the base isn't JellyBean... I had been using JB ever since release and went back to ICS one day and had completely forgotten how smooth and easy on the battery it is. I figured as long as i could get some of the main features of JB (Google Now) working it might be worth it to revert back to ICS until our JB matures a bit more and/or we get those missing components from Moto.

Does it fully work like the voice and all that? Or do you still have to hit enter?

Fully works. No need to press enter.
Looks nice, I like the blue color.
what's modded in the launcher 7..? I had already bought the launcher 7 donate for an older phone. If I install it, will i have to extract the apk and modify it?

As of right now the only thing modded are the default 1x1 and 1x2 icons used for tiles, but this will change shortly. You can achieve the same result with the paid version of launcher7 by downloading the icon pack i linked to in the Addons section of the op. The only irritating part about this is you will need to use a program like Quickpic and set its background color to white to actually 'see' what you are selecting when changing a tiles icon due to them being black.
I have to host the rom elsewhere, my links went down. Hmm not sure where would be good though.. Sorry for the inconvenience to those wanting to try the ROM. I'll be reuploading later today and may have a ROM update too if all goes well.
Double post woops.

Nope, not wondering at all! Your reasoning makes a lot of sense.
And I don't need to consider trying Launcher 7; I have in the past. I do like it, but it's not for me. Launcher 7, and WP7 in general, I feel, is not very app-centric at all. It's for people who use their phone for phone stuff and have maybe a couple apps. I have 51 apps installed (in Google Play) and I use probably a dozen at least weekly (if not more). I feel like L7/WP7 are more minimalist than I need. But I do like the idea. I actually like a semi-minimalist appearance on my phone; apps are grouped in folders, and aligned to the bottom of the screen, with widgets at the top. But I have access to a lot of apps in a short distance from any given point. That said, I do like seeing you base the presentation of your ROM around a launcher that doesn't resemble AOSP. It's a fairly unique approach. And that's the mentality I like to see in devs. It's thinking outside the box, as it were.
Links are back up. Will be updating the ROM soon.
::UPDATE::
Version 1.1 is released.

You flashed version 1.1? Within the aroma installer did you choose to do a full wipe? Did you choose gsm or cdma? Did it appear to install correctly or hang at a specific part? What recovery version are you running? I use joker v3, haven't tested it with anything else. Did the dual core screen begin to make little waves as if trying to boot? I'll see if I can get you sorted out.
:EDIT:
Thinking it was a bad upload I downloaded the rom and flashed. Within aroma I selected full wipe, cdma, and installed it. Booted up just fine for me.

I've been thinking of ditching the aroma installer too actually. I will make the next version without aroma. Again though, can you give me any more details? Does the aroma installer actually go all the way through and seem to install fine? What options did you pick? What recovery youre using?
Hi folks from XDA:
This will be a rom to improve in every aspect, battery and performance, graphics not so much because it is low-end, and in my opinion it is best battery/performance.
So far I've used (or rather, my girlfriend has used it), and says it has better performance than the first Gingerbread (Stock and Latte rom).You test the performance and tell me we can do, we remove or put, and will do according to the performance test for me, I will continue with the next update.

An apology to everyone for leave pending comments, but I work all day (I'm a automotive mechanic). If you do not want to use sdmerge just have to install the rom and gapps, the step4 is for sdmerge.

Let my girlfriend come to my house this weekend and see if there is a problem with the installation without sdmerge.
This is built using the Samsung GT-P5210 P5210UEUAMI8 [4.2.2] Jelly Bean base.
This is not debloated it's fat and sassy like Samsung intended it.
If you would like to debloat I highly recommend using DutchDanny's debloater which can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2482582
Jelly Bean P5210UEUAMI8
Fully Deodexed
Rooted
BusyBox
Zipaligned
Extended Power Menu (Wanam Xposed)
Will Not Delete Internal SD
This doesn't have much for bells and whistles but I have included Xposed framewok - Wanam Xposed and Pie Control. If you just want bone stock all the additions can deleted easily with App Manager.
To used Xposed framework and Wanam Xposed do as follows.
After booting the first time go to Exposed Installer App- click the - Framework tab - click install/update.
Next hit back button - select the Modules Tab - check Wanam Xposed module – reboot.
Once it reboots you can go to the Wanam app and choose the options you like. Not all will work on the tab because many features are phone related. Clock location – Color – Circle Battery do work also the the extended boot menu which includes recovery works too. After making your choices you will need to reboot for them to take effect. There are many more modules you can experiment with just be sure to make a Nardroid backup first because all aren't compatible.
Please go to the links below for more detail and be sure to thank them.

I've Been thinkin about something.
IF This is an original Rom only deodexed and some xposed stuff. Nothing else removed. Why dosent This Rom recognize My router when i have it on chanel 13. But IT finds it on chanel 5? Stock Rom recognized it with chanel 13..
And The other thing is The autobrightnes. My stock Rom had a bar with -1,2,3,4,5 and +1,2,3,4,5 when auto was enabled. But This One have only manual or auto nothing else.
Is there a way to get those back?
Other than that, Good Work with The Rom!

I used Samsung's original file for this build which came from http://samsung-updates.com/. Been using my wifes tab to test with and this was the current version she had after it updated. You are right there are some slight differences from the file I used and the automatic update version. I'll take a look at the two and see what i can do.
Anybody out there still with this device? I just got mine today and was curious if anyone has heard anything about the newest OTA update. Mine came out of the box with MI8 and is trying to upgrade with wifi on. I'm weary of this, because I own an att galaxy s4 that was one of the lucky ones to root before the locked bootloader OTA upgrade. From what I understand this device doesn't have a locked bootloader so I should be ok to upgrade? I plan on rooting to be able to use root apps and I'm a huge fan of xposed and wanam, I just want to make sure all of the hardware works before voiding my warranty. Any insight is much appreciated! TIA

Not a ton of choices and developer love for this device -- probably due to the x86 architecture. Too bad because it is a very nice device. That all said, this ROM works great.
I'm pretty sure my wife's 10.1 upgraded beyond MI8 and I ended up flashing this ROM anyway mainly because it is deodexed.
I followed this guide for root and recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432467
Only thing to beware of:
uncheck the reboot option in odin and just hard power down...
Also, to me, it seems like vol up and down are reversed from what I expected to get into recovery. If you get into donwload mode, just try the other volume up button
Finally, there is a script in this forum for decrapping but it seems to mess up the galary. I ended up jet deleting .apk's for stuff I didn't want.
Good luck! -- Bud
Anyone know where to get the rooted MJ3 firmware after flashing the debloat from above thread it blew the gallery away no sammy script killed it.
If anyone has a way to get back please let me know i installed this rom and its working but i like to go to latest firmware and more stock.
Thanks in advance
Hi !
how to flash this ?
Via Odin or Recovery ?
It will great if somebody can post images or videos about this rom running. I really really don't like TouchWiz on my Tab 3 but I cannot find any other rom only this but I would like to know who it works and how to flash it.
Thanks!
Agreed, Touch Wiz Sucks
You don't have to use this ROM though just to 'change' the Launcher (Home Screen)
I use Smart Launcher after trying nearly every other 'Launcher' I could find..
Now I cant live without it..

But its not the same thing. TouchWiz its not only a launcher, it include services and apps who make Android works not excellente like the vanilla android. That's why is better for me to flash a custom rom. But apreciate your suggeston.

Quick FAQ: (wip)
Q- This ROM won't give root access to my apps?
A- Yes it will, you need to enable it in developer settings for apps/adb.
Q- I click on the download link but there aren't any files for me to download?!
A- Turn off ad-blocker or try a different browser.
Q- Everything is smaller on this ROM than what I'm used to?
A- DPI is set at 245. You can change it in build.prop in your system folder. Make sure you set permissions back once you have messed with the file! 320 should get it back to how you see it on most ROMs with no tweaking. You can also use an app such as ROM toolbox to change it.
Q- What has changed since the last version?
A- Versions are clearly marked, please check slimroms.net for updated changelogs.
Q- GPS issues??
Here you go, GPS fixes that worked for me...<br />
<br />
GPS edits:<br />
Edit the file at /system/etc/gps.conf (I use root explorer). Uncomment these lines by removing the leading #:<br />
NTP_SERVER=north-america.pool.ntp.org<br />
SUPL_HOST=supl.host.com or IP<br />
SUPL_PORT=1234<br />
<br />
Save, and reboot. If you still don't have gps, download a Verizon based touchwiz Rom (I had alliance and used that), reboot into recovery and back up slim kat. Then, wipe and flash the touch wiz Rom. You should notice that your GPS is off even though it's a clean flash and it should be on. Turn on GPS, and get a lock - I used GPS status app so that I could verify the number of satellites that locked. Once you get a solid lock, reboot to recovery immediately while it's locked in. Now restore slim kat, then boot into it and now get a lock<br />

All our great testers for testing all our builds and providing great feedback.
Awesome! You have your own thread for this now! I will flash and report back my results here in a little bit. Thank you for adopting this project by the way, one of the best ROMs out there, and I appreciate the fact that you're keeping my (almost) two year old device up to date!
Also, side note, update the link to the Slim GApps... It seems to be broken. (Just update it with this one here.)

Updated the link, thanks!
Wohoo! Thank you nwh , this is awesome and I will definitely flash and let you know.
Thanks again so much for keeping this project alive for us note2 users. This is by far my favorite ROM for this phone so it means a lot to me to be able to keep running it and getting updates.

One suggestion for the op: maybe include a link to the differences between gapps versions? Slims site does not do a good job at all listing the differences between the three gapps packages so this could help us here. I know that's not device specific, but more just general helpful info.

Straight from Slim so they should be keeping it updated with future releases.
I've been running the ROM for a couple of hours now and everything seems stable and fast (as we all have come to expect from this ROM). Thanks again for all the hard work!
Also, brilliant idea posting the explanation of the GApps... I know someone had previously asked what all three packages included.
It's very rarely I create a post unless it's justified or paying compliment, however: I was running the SkyNote Rom for a few months and when I wiped (several times) and installed your Rom and Gapps I could not access data or even phone service, even after re-installing several times.
I mean NO data or service at all.
I even restored Skynote and another ROM from a TWRP backup and still no service.
To be aware Skynote is a 4.3 ROM.
Could it possibly be the 4.4 Gapps I installed causing the issue?
I'm (for once) bewildered.
ANY help would be MASSIVELY appreciated.

This is really weird... I've had radio issues when I tried to install a KitKat ROM, but if i reverted back to a backup I made (4.3 JellyBean for book keeping), it always fixed the problem. My best guess, and I'm no expert, is that some important files got damaged during flashing - maybe files that pertain to the radio? If there are files floating around on here that have JUST the radio, I would try flashing one of those, preferably, the baseband version you had if you knew what it was. Though I have not seen any that have been readily available.
Fortunately/unfortunately, with that said, the only option that I know will fix the issue is doing a full restore to stock via ODIN. I reverted all the way back to the VRALJB stock ODIN image, rooted and ROMed and have had no issues since. This fixed the radio issues that I was having when installing an Android 4.4 ROM... So I'm confident that it will fix your issues. Of course, this is time consuming, and will take a couple of hours.
You can see how to revert back to stock using the files and instructions found in this thread. Someone else may have a [better] solution, but this is what worked for me when I had radio issues.
I will flash the new build tomorrow thanks for taking over this ROM is really great for the past week I been running it

Firstly, SonOfUncleSam, thank you for your speedy reply and assistance :good:.
I was really trying to avoid restoring to stock (which I had to do) as I REALLY liked the look and feel of the SlimKat.
I Googled SlimKat and I discovered that I'm not alone in regards to SOME people who installed the ROM also faced the problem of having no data or any form of network connection, even though APN's where installed and edited.
If this issue could be fixed I will most definitely be ready to install it again (Actually I'm waiting for you to resolve it :silly
Looking forward to seeing the couple of minor fixes,
Pikeypete.
Commenting on the radio issue: I had a similar thing happen to me on a different KitKat rom (PA), when I flashed it and my baseband said "unknown" and nothing I did could fix it. I tried via recovery flashing new base bands and nothing.
What I eventually wound up doing that did fix it was like sonofunclesam said, restoring to stock, reroot, flash alliance 4.3, Odin mj9 baseband, wipe, flash slimkat.... And then everything was fine. Took forever but it did work.
I don't think this issue has anything to do with slimkat itself, more like its a general note2/KitKat issue.
I resolved the issue, somewhat.
I had to change the preferred network type from LTE to 3G.
I'm on AT&T. 3G isn't anywhere near as fast, however at this point I have the network connected.
I'm sure a few tweaks will get me back up to the maximum speed bracket.
Thank you both for your input :good:

I agree with Jarm3r... It seems like when everyone WAS making the transition to KK ROMs, it was hit or miss as to who had radio issues. My phone had issues with the radio when my father's phone didn't when I decided to test his. After that, the only logical action (in my mind) was to try and restore everything to stock, using the baseband version he had on his phone. After that, I've had no issues and its been a couple months since I've done that.
And like Jarm3r said, once everything is restored, re-rooted and re-ROMed, you should be good to go. Sometimes it seems like when you re-flash so many times, files can get messed up, and you'll eventually have to do this. (I even had to revert back to stock on my Note 10.1 because it was acting wonky too...)
Is there a way to change per app DPI? I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Install Xposed framework and then install the per app DPI module.

I love this ROM. The camera works unlike cm11 and pac. And super smooth!
Is there a way to make the volume pop-up always expanded? I can't find a slim setting and the few xposed modules I tried didn't work.
I'd also love a way to have have something like CMs profile feature. Is there a zip or flash or module that would add that?

Switch from expandable to expanded.
Been running build7 for a day now with zero issues, thank you @nwh5024 !

Is that like where you set it to "home" ... "Work" etc... And it changes a bunch of settings like volume and WiFi and stuff like the old blackberries used to do? I would love to have that as well if it is! I currently use tasker to kinda emulate that but its clunky.
