[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kufikugel:
Slim stands and that was never other:

Slim in size, ram usage...nothing added which we did not saw as usefull

Slim ever was highly customaziable without to loose the focus on the first point

Maybe a small story to how SlimPIE went his way.....I (and I developed it) was one of the biggest PIE hater....because the PIE which are allover kanged is imo useless for my needs....especially for hw key devices. Beside that it is resource wasting as hell. A part of our team wished to have a pie so I started to think of how can we implement it the slim way....first thought was...ok it must use minimum resources....ok that was fast done. Then was the question.....how to use it....our first idea and this is still the main idea was to use it as a shortcut replacement....for apps eg, or contacts, direct calls or whatever (for that I use SlimPIE).....so it started it's way talked a lot to the team etc etc. Result....you can bind and add whatever you want....trigger sizes are minimal so that it does not overlay anything....you can exactly say where do you want to have trigger zones....when keyboard is up trigger zones are off around etc etc....turn off the damn background dim...or the clock....so you can setup it just for an app shortcut bar....(btw most of our team are using it exactly for that).....at the end it is a pie which you do not find in any rom at the moment....resource friendly...cusomizable...usefull for hw key devices as well....and when you just do not want it do not turn it on. As all other features it is totally off then and does not use any resources. So I see as well not the point to add that as addon (beside that this is not possible)

We are at the moment from resource view slimmer then ever......from feature view more then it was before of course. But more or less is Slim the mirror of that what the Slimteam wish to have for their own. And sorry that was not ment that bad....last time I got some messages about what we are kanking....a lot just do not see that SlimBean developed a lot features you see in other roms. Really a bunch off them.....check other gihub....liquid, carbon, xylon, root-box just to mention some...all filled up with features from us.

and sometimes it feels a bit weird then to read such things when you think off how much hours the team worked on that...because developing from scratch is something other then just to kang (btw like it was for Slim before it got a team on most part ;) )...and to be honest to decide to change the rom for a feature when you do not go into settings you will never see.....I just do not understand....or do you uninstall your browser, youtube and whatever all apps which have pie and most not optional????

And I think, thats what we get as response from our user base....that we got a really stable SlimBean together with mostly usefull features and still did not loose the Slim idea.

Or do you found another rom which is that slim? :p

cheers

EDIT: check this here thats how I am using it....just shortcuts setupped thats it
