Build 4.2

SlimBean 4.2.2 build 4.2

We've added half a dozen new features and fixed quite a few other minor issues, which should hold us over until build 5. There was a major issue with video playback in build 4.1 that we have (hopefully) squashed with build 4.2, and that alone makes the upgrade worthwhile!

You do not need to wipe between minor update releases. buuut if you do have problems full wipe, reproduce & report appropriately ;)

Changes:

Update to JDQ39E

Added Music Playback Control Tile

Added Developer option for MediaScanner Behavior Control on Boot

Added TextArea size to Mms

Enhanced Auto-Brightness UI

Updated PlayStore to v4.0.26

Fixes:

Fixed issue with reboot on video playback

Fixed Translation issues [Spanish/Italian/Polish/Chinese/French]

Fixed SlimSizer FC

Fixed BlackList button behavior

Fixed NavBar menu hidden on softkey devices

Fixed SlimIRC bugs

Fixed DashClock extension icons hidden when minimized

Fixed PIN entry disabled by some apps

- Download build 4.2

Once again here's the build 4.2 addon kernel. It's actually the same as the build 4.1 kernel and since nothing has changed..:

Addon kernel:

Latest CM changes as of 04/22

Minimum 192mhz frequency

Added governors: wheatley, lulzactive, dancedance

USB fastcharge

Vibration control (Settings -> Performance -> Vibration Strength)

Faux sound control

morfic/trinity colors

It's a kernel for people who don't want anything too fancy, just a little something extra.

The source is on my github here. Thanks to ktoonsez and GideonX!

I took all sound mods off and fauxsound app still doesn't open
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CZ Eddie:
Flashed 4.2 on two friends d2tmo and both got the screen flickering.

One was a full & complete wipe, including data format.

One uses SwiftKey and the other uses Smart Keyboard I think.

One with stock Slim kernel and the other got the 4/22 BMS kernel.

Already told them to disable hardware overlays. Just wanted to post in this thread to confirm the issue. I have not followed this thread since I'm an ATT user, so please don't jump me. I'm sure you guys already know about the issue. :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
Hey guys, if you're suffering from flickering here's a flashable zip fix. This zip is supplementary to the 4.2 build and only replaces your build.prop -- it is not a full ROM.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Habs69M:
is this patch like disabling HW overlays? if so that might explaine the faster batt drain, other than that this rom is solid for me :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
It shouldn't affect battery drain in any significant way.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Habs69M:
ok thks :) maybe my tasker playing games on me ,will check it out, love the rom :)

Whats the best OC kernel for this ROM, i tried faux, ktoonsez, but it wont boot?

And whats yur experience on performance and battery?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Faux and Ktoonsez' kernels are amazing. If your phone isn't booting that's on your end. You're re flashing the wrong kernel build.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] fadi33:
thats not true. some phones just cant handle ktoonz kernel. my old s3 would never boot any version. but i had it replaced and now i can flash kt kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Yours was hardware related wasn't it?. This one seems to be fine with all the flashing he's doing so although I may still be wrong, it's most likely on his end. Besides, the most common way a phone can't handle a kernel is when the user OC or UV way past the phone's limits. You're bound to run into issues if that were the case.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chipis:
Finally found it guys, ktoonzes and faux are great on both ways

But I was flashing the wrong kernel after all.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] jasminka:
Quick question. Photosphere add should bring that ability to camera but after flashing zip nothing happens, any suggestions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
Speaking of battery.. here's my first full run with build 4.2. Take this with a grain of salt since everyone's battery is different depending on their apps/usage habits. I have 2 google accounts & 1 exchange account syncing but I get excellent reception & I'm on wifi mostly.

Has anyone notice a random reboot when installing an app? I have Ubuntu skins for UCCW and when I installed them it rebooted the phone... Hopefully its not on my end... I did a full wipe before installing this rom..

Edit: Seems to have only happened once. Will keep testing and see how it goes.

This ROM doesn't touch your internal storage. Make sure you've installed the latest version of TWRP before you flash the ROM and make sure you don't completely format /data since your internal /sdcard/ is actually located on that partition. Instead you want to do a factory reset IN TWRP RECOVERY.

TL;DR: This ROM is no different than flashing any other ROM. If you don't understand how to do that then you need to educate yourself on it first so that you don't lose data.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] CodyRst:
Not showing up in gallery?

I know after flashing It takes a bit to load all the stuff from storage, so pictures and music,etc do not show up right away.

Did you try to wait about 5-10 minutes?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] galahadUSA:
Not sure where to go with this, Rom/kernel...the issue is with gps. Running latest Slim and latest ktoonsez kernel.

I turn on my gps and within ten minutes or so the phone gets really hot. By the time I noticed it the temp was 114°. I shut it down cause I still had a ways to go. TelNav for TMO is the app I use and have been for some time. Slim and Ktoonsez have been my daily drivers forever and this is the only issue I have ever had and this just started....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
Try it with the stock kernel and see if you still suffer from the heat issue. If not then you know it's the kernel.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] stephanes:
Thank you for this rom. I install it yesterday and it seem fast, smooth and stable. It also contain all the features I want. I just want to know what's the difference between the Slim_Gapps and the "official" gapps-jb-20130301-signed ? Is there a problem if I use the official gapps ? Also I notice in the build.prop a bunch of d2att, can I edit this to d2tmo ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] egren58:

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
You can (edit the build.prop) but I don't think it makes a difference. As for the apps/gapps issue, our gapps are always going to be the latest as of their release. Ours are the same as the official ones (they're literally the same apks, straight from google), except that ours are more up-to-date and are updated to work with our DPIs and TRDS feature.

Also, I notice if I enable compression and/or equalizer in the dsp manager or musicfx, the sound skip every 3 seconds or it's very bad. Is there something I can do ?

Is there a way to get the TW keyboard?

Is it different from the AOSP keyboard or am I imagining things?

I only ran the stock TW interface for about two days before switching to SB, but I felt the prediction was far more accurate.

I'm sick and tired of swiping out completely routine words like "you" and having it suggest garbage like "Tiu" or "Tupi"... which was one of the reasons I ditched Swype (that and it's insistence on learning garbage words). I had the feeling the TW keyboard didn't do that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
You might want to check out SwiftKey. It's the #1 best selling app in the Play Store and the predictive capabilities in the stock TW keyboard I believe are based on it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] taco7712:
Dumb question but what do you mean by "Addon kernel"? You mean the add on page on the download section? I can't seem to find anything at all.

+1 on Swiftkey. I got it during the 10¢ sale and it allows me to troubleshoot more underlying issues and not focus on a keyboard. It also lets you to bring you a keyword dictionary with an app restore. It also has a Flow tick that allows swipe functions. Well worth the money.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] phidung3721:
touchwiz and aosp use different partitions of internal storage. there are a script somewhere to fix it. or you can manually move things around. look around in root browser sometimes it moves everything under sdcard0 and sdcard1

xpost from my SlimBean AT&T thread, thought you guys might dig it too.

A little something for all you battery lovers out there. You may or may not realize, but BetterBatteryStats recently added a DashClock widget. It looks like this:

​

Awhile back I fleshed it out a bit and added some more options:

​

I'm going to be submitting my changes upstream to the BBS author in the future, but if you would like to try out my BetterBatteryStats build w/ this new DashClock functionality, you can download it below. This is of course based off the latest version of BBS. Note that you may have to uninstall your previous BBS version since this one is signed by me & not [MENTION=1330150]chamonix[/MENTION]

- Download BBS w/ enhanced DashClock widget

Enjoy!

p.s. Please show some love to sven, the author of BBS. He has a paid version of BBS on the play store, and even if you use this one instead, I recommend you buy his too. He's a talented developer who made BBS open source and deserves all the praise he can get.

This works great but i lost my gps with build 5
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gavilan2010:
My gps is working great...i did a clean lnstall.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Habs69M:
Yeah did also a clean install, went back to build 4 and can only see and lock on 3 sats, so maybe its my location, will retry tomorow when i leave the hospital :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
There is an upstream issue right now w/ GPS. Basically the fix involves flashing back to your previous build, enabling GPS, getting a lock and then rebooting & flashing the new build over top of it (dirty). Ridiculous, I know. I personally have never lost GPS, though I do leave it enabled always.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Habs69M:
Ok thks will give it a try
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
As promised here is a kernel build with the new Faux sound commit in it. This kernel is exactly the same as the one in build 5.

You don't need this unless you use the FauxSound app.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JungWoo:
I am experiencing some "burping" on build 5. It seems to be choppy very frequently.

I did a full wipe/clean install, and am using the kernel that it included on Wheatley/row.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JungWoo:
I switched to another kernel, and the jitteryness went away.

I'm having issues getting SwiftKey to remain as the default input. It keeps reverting back to the AOSP keyboard. Is it a ROM issue, or SwiftKey issue?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
Definitely not normal, check to see if you have an app causing high cpu use.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
Note to all people who launch the camera from their lockscreen (widget or shortcut), there's a flashable fix up for the d2 on the slim website here.

Pie control doesn't have option how fast notification info and transparent background pop up it has like couple seconds delay. It would be nice to be instant.

That is an old issue. If you search the forum you'll find the fix (I don't remember what it was).

Otherwise, just freeze or uninstall the AOSP stock keyboard. I believe the APK for it is "LatinIME".

---------- Post added at 01:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:37 AM ----------

Yep, stock is 320. You can adjust it in the ROM settings.

But even after setting it to 320, there are still a few things/menus that show up with small font. Does anyone know how to get *everything* to change back to stock DPI? I usually go into Display settings and make font bigger. Would like to know if there is a more thorough fix/change though.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] garymachete:
Try using a 3rd party DPI changer.

But why is goo and slim center showing my phone as d2att??

Because this is a d2att build their isn't a specific one for tmo you can go in and change the build prop to make bit show the right thing as for developer options you have to click on build number a bunch of time under the about phone

Bug reporting.

When turning the screen on, a lot of times I get a lock screen that goes crazy with multi color static. I can unlock it still though.

This happens to a friends phone also.

Ps, hoping that Slim camera will have samsung's hdr software built in one day.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] TheLastSidekick:
That happens to me when occasionally locking and unlocking my phone. Might have something to do with AOSP.

The static is an upstream issue. Software HDR may work in the future, but we need to fix the exposure issue first that prevents it from working.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Naturesretard:
Still going through all the pages, but since I got my sgs3 this is my first aosp rom since my Gingerbread days on my Evo 4g. This rom FLIES! I love how fast it is and all the beautiful animations. Everything seems to run SO smoothly and efficiently.

Using Trickster Mod, I lowered the gpu one notch, enabled zram, trying out fast charge, using wheatly with default frequencies and this is just beautiful.

No real qualms with this rom aside from the fact it thinks it's an ATT GS3. I assume h+ is another way of saying you have 4G, and for some reason, enabling transparent status bar at 100% makes the bar completely unreadable within certain apps. Pandora for example. IT's all White on White. Set it to 80% and it's still hard to see, but much easier than before. Thinking of flashing an actual transparency mod and see if this fixes the issue. Would love to see a torch widget in notification bar eventually. :D

Keep up the great work!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Naturesretard:
Also, one question. I can't seem to bind s voice to double home key. It keeps triggering Nova screen display. Possible fix?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] abc123pro:
Why do you need a torch widget? Just add torch to the quick settings toggles
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lvlonkey:
have you tried going back to normal colors and not using trinity colors? i had the same problem too and it progressed from just the lockscreen glitching up to normal operations of the phone such as switching screens or apps causing it. i switched to normal colors and so far the issue has not come up again.

edit - nvm it seems that it doesnt matter
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Naturesretard:
How would I do that?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] abc123pro:
system settings -> interface -> notification drawer -> quick settings panel

personally i have it set so that pulling down notifications from the right will open the toggles. very clean & convenient, much more than the power widget
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Naturesretard:
That just made me fall in love with this ROM even more. This truly amazing and set it up just like yours. Hell, I even started playing with the nav bar. Less real estate, but is easier to use then a physical home button.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Naturesretard:
I can't seem to get a GPS lock with agps, I had it working somewhat decent in my previous Rom. Possible fix?

Edit: guess GPS turned off when I wasn't looking. Lol nevermind

OK last question I swear.

When I was running touchwiz stock ROM, I had the option to voice dial when my screen was off and in my pocket with the Samsung headphones that came with my s3. All I had to do was hold the single button and it would beep prompting me to start talking. Is there a way to do that on this ROM ?

Also, I can't seem to bind either s voice or Google now to my home double tap, it just shows desktop preview.
