Re: [ROM] Slim Bean [4.2.2 - build 3] (29/03/2013)

I do not and will never use anything but the kernel with most stability and best battery life from what I have come to find is the Matr1x kernel. I am on v25. And have been running the kernel since I believe v14 or 14.5 of matr1x kernel maybe before then. (tried all the others I have seen come out including stock kernels in ROMs. Not saying this stock slim kernel doesn't work well. I just prefer the other because I feel not better and more stable from past and present experiences. I hope u get your situation resolved. And MAKE SURE you are wiping all several tines like these ppl have said. It helps. And I hope you resolve and see why we all stand behind this ROM so strongly

Thats the beauty of being rooted... Mix and match what suits U best!

Or

U can always go back to stock unrooted and being at the mercy of Sprint.

Keep up the great work Slim Bean Crew!

I don't agree. It is true crespo is getting old but slim is well tested and it is very stable and keeps getting better and better by new features and bug fixes (even from aosp). For the included kernel, it is also well tested and very stable too. It just seems that it doesn't work well if flashed from some version of recovery.

Re: [ROM] Slim Bean [4.2.2 - build 3] (29/03/2013)

Agree.. I've had no other probs. With this ROM. I do find that if your flashaholik, you'll find yourself with more issues. I experienced it myself. Full wipe format system 3 times. Boot then delete data in android folder could help as well. .. Let it settle after full wipe and stop flashing between other ROMs. Hope this helps some of you.

Re: [ROM] Slim Bean [4.2.2 - build 3] (29/03/2013)

Is anyone else having anything weird with the lockscreen on build 3? Normally the phone boots to the lockscreen for me with every version of android on every rom til this build. Now the lockscreen doesn't work until everything loads. I'm also seeing the power button not locking the screen. I've tried resetting up the lockscreen and went back and wiped system/boot (just flashed the first time with a cache wipe) . I'll probably just hold out until the next build before I try a full wipe, just was curious if I'm the only one seeing this.

As for the other posts about rom/kernel stability, the download numbers vs. the number saying either isn't stable should speak for themselves and do imo. This is the only kernel I can run at 1200 without my phone getting freakishly hot. Only Franco kernel and SG ever performed this well for me. Phones are different but I'd concur with the full wipe stuff, getting rid of apps that haven't been developed in 5 years and for the occasional person, trying a different kernel.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jerusry:
Re: [ROM] Slim Bean [4.2.2 - build 3] (29/03/2013)

Only minor bug I have noticed is when I first use the phone after rebooting the lock screen pattern box will not appear. Can still be used to unlock but the shadow box isn't visible. If I hit the power button to screen off then again for screen on it will appear perfectly fine and work fine. Only after fresh reboot. Yet I find I never need to reboot so I never really cared at all. Such a small lil bug it don't matter to me. Just wanted to say thats only lock screen bug i experienced

AND THE COMMENT ON LACK OF DEVELOPMENT. this phone has more active developers than most on xda.. Especially for a 2+ yr old phone it is well developed and slim has the best dev support of any ROM on any device I have worked with I have a slew of family and friends I do this stuff for. Even many new phones have less dev support and ROM choices. And lots of great kernels to choose from. I really don't see where this comment comes from. Most the reason ppl still use this dinosaur phone is cuz of the development of this phone and stability of its roms. Pun Intended. And if ya don't like stock kernel try a different one. I don't think your instability is caused by your ROM/ kernel itself. Try matr1x kernel if you think the stock kernels no good. I have zero stability problems. As most people on here who flash properly don't either
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] angiest:
I haven't made it to this step yet. However, I just switched to Matr1x kernel, including cache wipes (which have been done before), and now Gallery is working. The media scanner is also misbehaving in its normal manner (working the CPU, making the phone hot and eating battery). Prior to this, it didn't see like it was running the way it normally does. I have no idea why changing kernels would make a difference.

Re: [ROM] Slim Bean [4.2.2 - build 3] (29/03/2013)

Coming off a clean install. Battery icon isn't working properly. Using aroma 1.2 only problem I'm having besides one freeze up a few days ago.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] amieldl143:
Found the issue music issue with dsp. The core apps in the last 2 versions of gapps was missing vending file. I took and copy file into latest gapps, I use aroma aio and copied it into the core file. Now everything works.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mrmondaynight:
Got one random freeze today

Buttons lit up, but screen remained black.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dpeeps74:
Am I missing something? Didn't there used to be an option to start lock screen widgets maximized? Now, it seems, either that option is gone or perhaps I'm remembering from another rom. I'd love to be able to start my lock screen widget in a minimized state. When using slider shortcuts it seems a bit more aesthetically pleasing.

If this is due to my formatting laziness then please just ignore me. I talk to myself a lot anyways so it will be normal.

[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jerusry:
Still getting the random freeze. Didn't happen for day or two. But froze today. Weird. It just freeze n show whatever's on screen at time. Doesn't respond to anything. Had to pull battery. Will try installing gapps without aroma installer and use normal gapps package. See how it goes. I tried install aroma v1 like ppl say. But i got all kinds of system ui errors and force closes. Will update if this fixes my freezing issues.

Also. I was wondering. I can't find where to update my pro in the about phone. I will keep looking around my menus. If I find it ill delete this.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] mrmondaynight:
Yeah, the screen comes back on(sometimes), but the touchscreen won't work.

It's happening a lot less than before, but still happening. I guess it's the phone?

Occasionally my phone will vibrate, and then try to send a bug report through gmail along with a screen shot. Is this a Slim Bean feature, and is it something I can turn off?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ircsmith:
just gona throw my 2 cents in here. love the look and feel of the ROM. I have left the new version on the set LCD density just to see if things behave differently even though its hard on my old eyes! love the dark setting. things I have had go on so far are few and far between. when I'm running Pandora over bluetooth the top half the lock screen shows a ghosted image of Pandora. only had one freeze so far. had Pandora running out to bluetooth with WiFi turned off and my phone rang. when I hit the call button on headset the phone went nutzzzz. it looked really cool. like the old Max Headroom TV show. the screen was bouncing between everything I had running in the background and the lock screen. the touch screen was still active. I could get the power splash screen to show up but never got the phone to turn off. had to pull the battery.

not sure if any of this helps. other than that no other issues.

cheers and thanks for ROM!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] amieldl143:
We are aware of some issues. Please use current kernel from marmite 8.4 v. Works well ..thanks.

My last request was granted instantly, thanks again! :)

Back with another request for keyboard. Now that the symbols keyboard is implemented, it would be nice to have the ability to change the duration of long press to select the symbols. As of now, it really slows down typing. :/

And a similar request would be to have option to allow long press of backspace to delete word.

I'd love to see brightness modes in the quick settings panel, similar to the sound modes, with percentages. It must be possible. If I understood the backend I'd figure it out and submit it :) oh well, im going to school to become an evil genius but they didn't have that course path listed.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Wafflcopterz:
Alternative: Enable the power widget, disable all toggles, enable brightness slider.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dpeeps74:
Yeah, I am just trying to move away from those toggles, while not using a slider. So far though, auto seems ok, just haven't used it enough to see if there is a battery consequence. Not that my battery is great otherwise but the 8-10 hours is usually sufficient for my usage.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] jerusry:
Don't use the brightness slider. Use the status bar sliding feature...much cooler. Where u slide across the status bar to adjust. Super easy and clean. I love it.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] dpeeps74:
You're more talented than I. When I use the status bar slider I constantly change the brightness without even trying.

Thanks for the suggestions guys but really many of these features havr existed since before I even had this phone. The modes functionality is just always what worked for me. Really though, auto seems to be usable for me at the moment.

added the ability to dismiss voice mail notifications? but we dont get voice mail notifications. wont even go into why someone would not want to know they have a voice mail waiting for them. to each his own but back in the day if the little red light stopped flashing on the answering machine you threw it out and got another one.

one thing that irritates me about all the ROMs out for the S4G is none let me know if there is voice mail waiting so every time I get back from a run or park the motorcycle or get out of a meeting I have to check for a missed call and if there is one I have to call VM just to see if someone left a message.

I'm done now :p
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] vidaljs:
Hmmm,

Well depending on where u live.... if u can, try using Google voice since it informs me of my VMs.

And if use the BLN then that will inform u of any notification with either the Blinking Light or non flashing light.

And the above work for ALL ROMs :)

Why don't they just send you an SMS to notify you?
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ircsmith:
I looked up the Google voice. vague on the pricing. looks like if I just use the basics its free? not real excited about managing yet another system.

forgive the ignorance but what does BLN stand for? I have never had anything on this phone flash for any reason. does not have an LED indicator as far as I know. that was the first annoyance with with the phone. I had to wake up the lock screen to see if I missed anything. my old HTC just flashed to let me know. love the size and feel of the phone but it really has taken a step backward with phone usability.

Thanks for the reply!
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] Nebucatnetzer:
IIRC BLN stands for Back Light Notification or so.

Means it uses the capacitive keys do display you when there's a new notification.
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] ircsmith:
oh yea that option. forgot about that one. its a joke as well right? never had those keys light up. does anyone have them light up for notification? I found the BLN under device options. the BLN was checked but has never come on. under BLD to adjust the time to turn off it was set to 4400! I slide it down and now it will not go higher than 30.

again not picking on this ROM! it is still the smoothest.

I did have an odd stutter. while on speaker phone when I went to hangup it wouldn't and then the screen started to "stutter" between navigation, which I did not have running in the background, and some instruction page I have never seen before. have not tried to recreate it yet. had to pull the batt.

The GV free version is all u need. Basically once u download the app and go through the setup, it will use Google's server to send & backup all ur SMS, phonecalls & voicemails. U can login via any PC or any web browser and see who texted U, what calls u made or received and U can hear u voicemails. It also stores them and u can download them to ur PC if u want.

The App is linked to ur regular gmail account so nothing new is needed. And if u hate it then log in via PC and u can just cancel anytime under settings.

I've had no issues since day one, so just see for yourself. Its been golden since I began flashing away on my old HTC hero back a few years ago.

BLN?

It can be better controlled via NS Tools app.

It can be set to blink or to not blink.

I installed slim for the first time yesterday. I'm really liking it so far. The real dark theme is great.

The jury's still out on the crazy small DPI. I like it in concept, but i think it might be a bit of a strain on the eyes after a while. I'm rolling with it for a week and we'll see how it goes.

Somebody mentioned BLN settings, but i couldnt find the anywhere. I put NSTools on and thats fine, but was curious if there's BLN settings in the ROM itself w/o adding an app?

Thanks for posting the ROM. It's giving my NS4G a new lease on life until the prices of the newer phones come down!
