Sounds great but can you provide more details? What features were cherry picked from CM9 and AOKP? Is the removal of some apps what makes it so 'slim' or is performance improved as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bradleyyy:
How can I download the stock launcher on Slim ICS. Working well so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:

Giving this a shot. Curious to see if the screen won't burn up battery like on CM9.

Edit: This is a beautiful ROM. Keep up the good work!

Why is everything tiny? Has the LCD density been modified? Is there a way beside adjusting font size to get the size more stock so I don't have to get my reading glasses lol. This is a very nice rom and I would like to keep it. One more question; voice input? I don't see the mic icon on my keyboard. Am I missing the bus?

I tried that, and it's still not working. Just to be sure, here are the steps in loading this ROM.

1) Wipe data

2) Wipe cache

3) Wipe Dalvike

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashleygreene:
I am having an issue with Google Navigation FC'ing after awhile.

I had the problem on 3.6 and again on 3.8. Mapquest FC'ed on 3.6 as well. I haven't tried it on 3.8. I confirmed checksums and wiped before flashing both times. Running the included kernel.

When i first flashed 3.8 i opened Navigation, typed in an address, and let it sit on my desk for about 30 minutes and it worked fine. Once i am driving i get the FC usually in under 15 minutes though.

One peculiar thing i have noticed is when i open either app it tells me i need to download something for the voice navigation to work, but the problem happened with and without the app it mentions.

I scanned the thread and poked around on the slimroms page and couldn't find anything about this. I am hoping there is some kind of fix because this is honestly the best rom i have flashed to date. A big kudos to everyone who made it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zetsumeikuro:
Just flashed 3.8 base/essentials, did my usual wipes etc.. Now I have no mobile connection o_O. I've pulled sim etc, tried installing the rom again with no dice. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I sometimes get random force closes on advanced slim settings, anyone else have this problem? Other than that it's running like a champ
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
Flashing a ROM formats system on it's own, not really any reason to do it again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juanzr1:
Is it normal for battery drain 1% every 3 minutes while I'm using the phone, basically checking out the forums on xda, seems a be draining a bit to fast . I guess its just the 4.65 screen
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zerocool79346:
That's roughly 300 minutes or 5 hours of screen on active use. You will be hard pressed to do any better than that.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedorda:
Thanks I will re-wipe and flash must be a glitch somewhere on my end. Hopefully not bad hardware.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jaseglenn4:
It's probably just something minor. I forgot to wipe /system one time, and it wreaked havoc with my device. Lolol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ashish8:
I went back to stock Nexus DPI because widgets look weird on the 240dpi. Now that I realize I like the look of the default ROM dpi, I set it back to 240, but the launcher and a lot of other things are still displaying items like they are set to the 320dpi. Any way to correct this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
just reflash ROM with no wipe. Change your launcher to whatever. you should be set.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] doubleojon:
How did you fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stashtrey:
I had the same thing happen with the loss of phone connection. It kept acting like I was out of the country. I think somehow, briefly the download OTA had the maguro, GSM ROM or Essentials. Possibly briefly? That is my theory. I deleted everything 3.8 related and redownloaded it all and mine is working perfectly.

Make sure you wipe! I didn't wipe that first time.

I might be crazy but I was almost positive when I was flashing that first time I saw maguro in all the text on the screen as it flashed. That is why I think it was a had download.

Just my theory. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zedorda:
I did a re-wipe and flash of 3.8 now swype beta will not install saying wrong screen size? Was working before.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
3.9 Released. I will say this, read the changelog and FAQ, before posting questions. If you find ppl posting without reading, just direct them to them the changelog page, don't give them the answer, its a few lines not that hard.

You need to d/l and flash Base, Device essentials and Slim Gapps. From next time on you just need to d/l base and device essentials as long as you don't lose Slim Gapps or i don't change it. Happy Friday Everyone!

NOTE: Read the changelog below carefully and the FAQ before posting questions .

All Devices:

Apollo ( CM9) music compiled from sources - thanks cm team

Updated germant translations for DeskClock - thanks Basian Mile

Reduce processing in WebCore thread while scrolling and zooming based on this

External Webkit changes based on this, this and this.

Hide storage option in camera for devices that don't have external storage based on this

Don't try to create an ad-hoc network when no wireless network is available based on this

SlimPapers.apk with a couple of wallpapers, nothing fancy. Will put it in OTA app for those who want to use it. - thanks jeffyca at rootz for slimlogo wallpaper

CM9 Quiet Hours

New boot animation - thanks jeffyca at rootz

Basic gapps included in base is pulled and made a separate flashable zip, reason is two fold,

make google happy as they prefer this route and

they don't change often, so why bloat the base unnecessarily.

Whatever was in UpdateMe ( GenieWidget etc etc), Apps, Stays there,

Make sure to flash slim_gapps along with base and essentials to get working multi dpi playstore, gmail, talk, video chat, email and exchange. If you flash another gapps, you are on your own, don't complain apps are not compatible if you are not on slim gapps. This is the way moving forward, you can cry about if you want

Base is now 44 MB

I flashed 3.8 this morning, right before I saw 3.9, and didn't have any network connection(3G/4G/Voice), but my wifi worked fine. Then I saw 3.9 was released and procceded to flash that hoping that it would fix the issue. Well I still have no network connections, anyone have any ideas? Should I try flashing radios? Link to stock radios?

Thank you

fyi I was on Gummy 1.2 with zero issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
I don't own a Toro, but nobody else has reported this issue. you sure you flash the toro(verizon) essentials and not toroplus ( sprint)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jarm3r:
I have been keeping an eye on Slim for a while now, and with the release of 3.9 for the toro gnex, I took the plunge. And just let me say: WOW. This is an amazing Rom...!!!! I have been flashing roms since the og d1 days on a half dozen phones and this has got to be near the very top in terms of best roms ever.

I can say this for sure: it's FOR SURE the best rom I've ever used for the GNex, and I've tried all the popular ones.

I freakin love the lowered DPI (higher res) screen. Also had never heard of Lightning Launcher, but I love the cutsomizations on it as well.

Here is my home screen:

http://mycolorscreen.com/2012/06/03/slim-rom-lightning-launcher/

So thanks a ton for creating this awesome Rom krarvind. Loving it...!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jarm3r:
I do have one question though:

2 factor authentication is different than on other roms. On Slim, when I sign into my main account with 2 factor authentication, it takes me to a "browser sign in page" where it asks me to enter my normal account password, NOT the "special" password you generate in the account settings on the web. Then it asks for the 6 digit code "generated by your mobile application" ... so it's acting like it's signing into the web for some reason. On other roms, it took the special long digit code you generate.

Any ideas on this?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
I haven't tried thusr in a while, but last time I did it asked me for the "special" password. I will try again sometime tomorrow or day after
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jarm3r:
My phone is working fine as is,its syncing fine and all that, but I'm wondering if its going to time out every thirty days because that's all the browser sign in page will do...

I'm planning on sticking with this rom for a long time so that's why I ask. Thanks for checking man, its rare that you can talk to the devs.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Stashtrey:
I agree 100%. This is hands down the best rom I have ever used. Agree with everything you just said. The resolution is outstanding.

Bravo!!!!!

Suggestions?

I've been trying to use Slim since its port to the Verizon GN but I tend to restore my nandroid because the ROM won't restore my apps.

Thans+Q

Krarvind,

Thanks 4 the excellent work. My video skype improved a lot with SLIM.

Things are in generally lighter and the customization is awesome. Some minor things:

My Gmaps crashes constantly -navigation to be more precisely- when in 241. Weird thing it does it even if I change the DPI to 320. Did not have this issue before. It may not be related to the rom/phone etc as I have seen this on several phones/carries/roms. I have tried everything your glims pack clear data resets etc..

I am on Navigon for now, I like it.. Garmin has better GUI ( taste I guess)

My browser slowed down ( when loading pages) when going from 3.8 to 3.9 so I have reverted to 3.8. I could try to use Dolphin. Wonder were is this coming from.

Suggestion- please rename toro_plus in toro sprint- would reduce confusion.

Q in 3.9 is and future releases( several a month -READ this VERIZON !) is there a way to flash the old slim booting animation? I like it more. Matter of taste again.

Thanks again for you great work.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jarm3r:
This is the first time I've upgraded a rom without doing a full system wipe, and it was super easy. It did the whole "upgrading android" and said the "optimizing applications" but then it just booted into Slim and everything was just like it used to be. Used same gapps as 3.9 and so far so good!

Thanks so much man. This rom still rocks for a daily. Best I've used.

---------- Post added at 07:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:00 PM ----------

okay I spoke too soon. Also I do have some info on the 2 factor authentication info..!

So when I did the upgrade to 4.0 -- I did what you specified:

1) wipe cache

2) wipe dalvik cache

3) install samsung base 4.0

4) install toro essentials 4.0

5) reboot

It rebooted and said "upgrading android - optimizing applications" -- and booted into the homescreen. Everything looked fine, but gmail wouldn't load, play store wouldn't load, etc... and I had no accounts in my "accounts" section in settings. And of course other stuff like my contacts weren't synced, etc...

So I rebooted into recovery, and flashed slim gapps 4.0 and rebooted. It did the whole "upgrading android - optimizing apps" again, except this time far fewer apps, then rebooted to home, and BAM! everything was working. I had to add my primary gmail account again to the phone though, is that normal? I thought with an upgrade it kept all the settings including accounts. --- Anyway, once I readded my primary google account it asked for permissions for the rest of the apps and so far it seems everything is working fine.

Any idea why I had to install gapps?

Also, on the 2 factor authentication, I think I figured it out, may want to add this to your faq if I'm right:

When I first add my primary google account, it asks for the password (of course) and if you use 2 factor authentication, here is where you should access your account on the web, go to security settings, and generate a new application-specific password for the rom. If you input this at that FIRST prompt, everything goes smooth. If you enter your normal password here however, it says it needs to sign in on the web, and then once you go forward from here, it asks for the temporary 30 day password with the 6 digit code generated by the Authenticator app, which I don't think is right. So basically you just gotta remember to enter that app-specific like 16 digit special code from the web into the FIRST password field when adding your account to the system. I hope that makes sense, and is that what others have found?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
I mentioned in the change log to flash base, essentials and gapps. That would have kept your account info.

I haven't looked into 2 factor stuff. I will next week
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 24601:
@krarvind-

The way I read the changelog RE: installation is that if we are running Slim 3.9, we should NOT flash 4.0 gapps with the 4.0 upgrade . . . is that correct? I flashed 4.0 base -> 4.0 essentials -> 3.9 slim gapps, and everything (gmail, google play, etc) remained logged in and fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] krarvind:
what you did is right but not what you read. I said if you are an existing user who had slim gapps already d/l no need to re -d/l however flash all the 3 files ( base, essentials and gapps) in that order and your accounts will remain intact with just wipe cache and dalvik.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jarm3r:
ahhhh, okay, well then I guess I just read that wrong. It says:

"( Download Manufacturer base 4.0, device essentials 4.0 and Slim Gapps ( only for new users, existing users use the same one from 3.9 until i explicity say d/l new one). Flash all 3 in that order"

which I read as if we were on 3.9 we didn't need to do anything with the gapps zip (like I thought it meant only for new users flash all three, upgrading from 3.9 just flash two zips.) My bad. Thanks for explaining.

And you don't have to check on the 2 factor stuff, it's working perfectly, I was just posting that as info for you in case others ask.

Thanks for the hard work and the awesome rom!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BeardedB:
Start from the beginning.

1. Download are required files. [Manufacturer base, Slim Essentials and Slim GApps].

2. Make a NANDROID.

3. Wipe system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.

4.Flash in CWM starting with manufacturer base and ending with Slim GApps.

5. Reboot and enjoy!

EDIT: And if the manufacturer base takes 5 seconds or less to flash, flash it again.

voice button and dbm

krarvind,

I have tried to fix the gmaps crash with ivona tts. works better but still crashes..

Oh well. I am ok with Navigon.

I have several Q:

Is there a way to define long click press on the BT to start a custom app- voice commands for example?

Can we add somehow the dbm's at the top - I believe more in dBm that in "bars"

My speed test results go down when I move from 3.8 to 4.0. I know is a complicated q, but what could it be? ( I have reverted to my back-up and works better)

Any hope we will get Slim Jelly Bean for GN -toro/maguro?
