Re: [ROM][4.2.1][19/01]Slim Bean - I9100 [RC1]

Sure you can install any of the above, there are apks out there.... I don't know how good they are as I've never used them myself.

I tend to use a kernel that has audio boost baked in (Siyah for one currently using Dorimanx). They both have configurable options for headphone/speaker and microphone volume. Makes a huge difference to volume levels of for any rom. Other kernels are also available :D

No need for all of those additional steps really. Just un install it or freeze it, one or the other. Or just leave it be and set what ever other launcher you are using as the default.

Hi, I'm new to this thread and haven't tested slim roms since slimICS (running JellyBam for a while now)

Question : has anybody tried to install Xposed framework with this rom and the per-app dpi changer module ?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Visual Focus:
Hello,to be honest i bought a second hand Galaxy sii yesterday.

It has slimrom installed and everything works fine except the low volume headphones issue (the speaker volume is ok)

Here is a screenshot from the kernel version etc.

Could i change only the kernel without affecting the whole system ?

To use one that has an audio boost tweak integrated ?

If so what's the procedure ?

Sorry for the noob question but i just got into the Android world.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1][19/01]Slim Bean - I9100 [RC1]

Use the MCM pached Siyah v5 kernel. Search for the respective thread.

Between I still didn't get how could this rom be developed in an 87mb pack. I mean I see every other rom worth 150mb, 300mb etc. Whats the difference in slimbean and others?

Jenny Craig... :screwy: :silly:

Seriously tho, it is the whole philosophy of the ROM... Hence the name ;)

We start we pure AOSP, so no leftover bloat in frameworks etc, and carefully consider everything in terms of functionality, performance, utility and size before it is added... You should have seen the discussions on the file manager, when we were looking to replace OI File Manager... "1 meg .apk??!? No way... Too big!" ;)

We try to avoid pointless "eye candy" and stick to the basics... Adding in things that we find useful etc.

Also, don't forget that we package our Gapps separately... So you have to take some of that into account as well ;)

Hey guys,is there a way to use Mass storage device mode ?

I tried to enable it via STweaks but i can't access both internal and external memories.

MTP works but when i try to copy a file that's like 2GB or more (mkv videos) i get a message that windows explorer has stopped working.

Thanks for the tip using a different kernel,just installed Siyah-v5 and boosted up the headphones volume about 20-30 % successfully.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1][19/01]Slim Bean - I9100 [RC1]

Check back a couple of pages... Coming soon....

You can set mass storage in Dorimanx kernel as default as I do anyways.

As always... Best to read through the thread prior to posting as the answer to most common questions have been posted already. You will end up getting flamed if you don't... And nobody wants that do they?

:D

Edit: Yes. Dorimanx has all Siyah features... And more. Other kernels are also available ;)

If the answer to the above is yes, you may flash Dorimanx kernel and hit the restore home key button on the others tab. That should fix it.

Very nice work so far! I honestly had a lot of crashes with Beta1, however RC1 seems much more stable. I'm tempted to try a Dorimanx kernel (the audio volume needs a bit of a boost), but I might just wait until SlimBean gets a stable release.

It's stable as "..." , I'm using the second ROM for testing and so far this one is "THE", it seems that this guys put together all features we miss from others!

Regarding the kernel, if you want a fast one try Dori and his settings ( you can mod them anytime on your own risk ) or Siyah MCM ... a little bit more friendly to batt.

Tried through ESExplorer, slimbean file manager and Astro manager

So I reverted back to 4.1.2 for now. SlimRoms have always been awesome and I have been using them right from the start.. but this 4.2.1 isn't ready for "my phone" yet.. :confused: .. I'll wait for the final release before getting on the bandwagon.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kufikugel:
na not true...you need them......minimum the normal gapps package. What you can do is open the slimgapps.zip and remove the usual apps you do not need. But there are (in every app package also from goo etc) some libs, some basic system apk's which are needed.

So delete all the usual stuff and then you have no visible gapps but all functions in rom you need. If you have any questions on that just ask.

EDIT: something other...our nomal gapps package does not include the usual stuff....it is already slimed up ;) but if you want you can get it slimmer.

Do it and all is fine for sure ;)

about the lagging.....did you a complete full wipe? means data cache wipe, also format system. We have since beta1 absolutly no lagging report from our testers. And also here in thread you do not read often. Most also in other threads did not flashed completly clean going from 3.1 to 4.2.1 which causes that for sure

jst a curiosity question

Is it possible to connect and use portable USB modems stick (such as Reliance net connect, photon+, etc. used in india ), using an OTG cable with Samsung Galaxy S II and use it?

i know how i can do this but i don't even knw the abcd of technical of kernel development...

Answer is below but is it practically possible

If i can build and install a modified kernel (or perhaps just drivers) and root filesystem, and there exists driver source to use these on a desktop linux, then it should be possible. ( i don't knw how to do dat )

i might be able to re-write the driver to function via the USB host APIs without root, but it would probably take root level access to get the result seen as a network interface. Though without that i might still be able to make an on-device proxy server to get a browser to use it.

if some1 what drivers i can provide them

Hi HCP,

First of all many thanks for such great work you do developing the ROM. It's really great. Tried many and this one is really the best, being simpe while still having some features not available in other roms.

I have a suggestion about fix/improvement in RC1 w.r.t SlimBean 3.1, I hope you can look at it:

Battery on status bar - if choose percentage, then it goes and displays percentage but with the little icon of battery which does not make too much sens. In version 3.1 it was just percentage and this was great option

There is no way to swich off the clock on lock screen, which was nice option in 3.1. If you use transparent background and some widgets on home screen, then it's really spoiling the screen. Transparent lock is often used to see what on the screen without unlocking the phone.

Both are visible on attached picture:

If I'm mistaken and there is a way to change the settings, I'd appreciate a hint. If not, can you consider the two changes to be implemented for the official release?

Thanks and regards, KRG

Slim is aosp base so I dont think we are included in that statement/warning? I may well be Wrong but perhaps a member of the Slim team can give a definitive answer on this. I doubt we are as I havent had any of the listed problems with it. I have been using Dorimanx since I joined the Slim club. No issues of note on 3.1.2.
