Root [MetroPCS/CDMA] [ROM][4.4.2][Weekly] SlimKat-d2lte [5.6]

Nothing that I can see but I believe it is more stable. I haven't had my apps crash and get stuck in a reloading loop like in beta 3. The sound gain in my video recording is lower than beta 3 (which is a good thing) since that's caused distortion during playback. MMS works. Nothing bad that I can see for now. I would like per app dpi settings but I guess I'll have to wait for that. I tried installing xposed framework but busybox doesn't seem to install properly on 4.3 roms.
 
I have been running for a few days now and not alot of new stuff in beta 4, just some subtle differences. Mms works great, wifi turns on and off with data resuming just fine. Have noticed a couple times that bluetooth gets stuck off but a reboot fixes it and pairs right up again. Runs smooth and battery life is good. Will keep everyone updated if i find any more issues.
 
I'm beta 4 and my only complain is that the phone gets extremely hot when playing Pandora for over 6 hrs.

Any good kernels out there to run with this?
 
Just had my first running app restart loop on beta 4. It only happened once last night. Since the restart it hasn't happened yet.
 
Beta 4 has been great. Everything has been working as it should...except. The gapps I used were the pa 4.3 gapps. & the only problem I have is on my big buttons keyboard. Gonna try slim's gapps on the beta 5 & see what happens there. That also may explain why rom toolbox won't change my fonts & sends me into a bootloop.
 
Beta 5 didn't load for me. It fc'd the aosp keyboard. So I couldn't even logon to anything. Anyone else having problems with #5?

& now I can't get into recovery mode. Thanks

Ok lol beta 5 gapps are bad.

Turn phone off. Press power bottom, back home bottom and up volume all @ the sametime the will take you to recovery.

What recovery you use if it's twrp thats your issue also must do clean install factory reset wipe caches format system manually.

OK just to clarify please go to the slimroms.net and read the home page before flashing.

Yes, I am using twrp. Never had any problems before:confused: & I did wipe everything before I flashed beta 5, a complete data wipe (except sd card).
Beta 4 was working just fine. Finally got into recovery. reloaded beta 5 with pa gapps. Now it's all back working just fine.
I did notice on the home page about flashing the rom & gapps. I flashed them both together. Now, if I read it right, are they saying to actually flash them separately?

I had probs becuz of twrp but like nick said its twrp. I then switched to Cwm touch and wiped everything manually and it fixed the issue ur having
 
I just finished flashing with cwm & everything's working great :confused: Don't understand it. Been using twrp for a year now with no problems. LOL, I think I'll stay with cwm now

Except for rhapsody. My downloads won't play on beta 5. Goin back to beta 4 in the morning
 
Flashed with CWM, its wonderful, smooth, everything works so perfectly. Ok well ran into my first snag..Using Titanium Back up, and trying to do some back ups its telling me there is no room on my memory card, when i have 11gb of 32free. Any fix for this? It freezes apps just fine.
 
Has anyone paired their phone to their car? When I spoke to my gf, she said that she could barely hear a word and that there was a lot of garbled sounds in the background. I restored my rom back to Carbon 4.2.2 and she said that I sounded crystal clear.
