Is this from a clean install? (wiping Cache, Dalvik, Data, and System)

As for the screen issues, are you using "The Real Dark Slim" under System Settings?

I'd recommend this kernel http://goo.im/devs/didhiy/sph-d700_cm-10.1/nitest-jb42_er-twrp-0410.zip then flash this bigmem patch http://goo.im/devs/didhiy/sph-d700_cm-10.1/JB_BigMem_26-aug-12.zip

"Bootani" problem

I've been on Slim since 2.1, and overall very happy with it. Thanks all the dev's for their hard work!

Would like to report on my experience with the "bootani" boot animation problem.

NOTE: I have tried NS4G modem before, but this report is just from plain Epic FC09 modem.

1) did have bootani freeze initially with 2.1, but changed recovery's, and added nitest kernel, and was fine.

never happened again

2) I am now on 3.4 with 0410 nitest kernel, and TWRP recovery. Did not have bootani problem originally. After a few days now (and after changing DPI to 240) am having bootani freeze problem. (!!! weird)

a) on 3.4 with TWRP, rebooting to recovery, repair permissions, and reboot seems to fix it every time (weird!)

b) Both on 2.1 and 3.4 have noticed that it is not really "freezing" on the boot animation. After waiting a while, and phone is fully booted up, if you rotate phone I can see part of the desktop on the right side of the screen, and it is not frozen. You can push power button, see menu pop up, and select (by guessing) power off.

I wonder if this "bootani freeze" problem some people are experiencing is because the default Slim bootanimation sometimes prompts the phone to get in a weird screen mode (DPI, resolution, or color depth)

If this is true, is there a recommended way to change the bootanimation for Slim?

thanks
[Epic 4G Android Development] kstephens98:
Boot ani freeze is due to optimized jpgs

Effsi newest kernel that we uploaded on github. Twrp2.5 built with it. No tweaks or custom settings pure aosp. It does have init.d support if you did want to tweak it. Of course it does have root.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
I've updated but haven't pushed it out yet. There's a test of it on my goo.im area

Sorry it just finished building. I'm uploading it now. It has charger images kernel size looks OK. Boot animation may work. You guys know the drill about the jpeg optimized thing.

[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
Nice gonna give this a go....so what kernel where has twrp 2.5 :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
I'm not completely understanding but its the last commits I grabbed from effsi and put on team regular. So it has most of his work except his newest and I just built it with twrp so you don't have to flash it and dynamic said it was choppy looking when he flashed it that's another reason I built it with it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
What has twrp 2.5 built in??I wanna update twrp :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Lol I was saying that the boot animation may not work. The kernel has twrp2.5 which is the latest .I built it from source with effsi's kernel. You won't need to flash twrp if you like it.

[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
The issue arises when I do a clean install or dirty install. I was able to dirty install once to can get it to come back to life so I could back up a few things before wiping. I've tried that kernel along with the bigmem patch, same result. Most of the time, the hang happens even after reinstalling the kernel, so reinstalling each time I need to reboot does not solve the problem.

No, I'm not using Real Dark Slim. I think my phone may not like kernels with Voodoo as I've seen this before, but usually not right away and it usually goes away.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Does super nexus work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:

Yea its bare as can be lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:

[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
not yet ( but I will eventually ) , I'm still trying to get SLIM / AoCP / Xylon to run smoothly for more than 24 hours at a time , I'm still encountering the PlayStore problems ... the ROMs themselves are really nice , and like I mentioned before , maybe it's just me or my phone or the combination of me and my phone , but I keep encountering the same problem after the phone's set up and running over night - next day ... BakedBeans9 does NOT give me ANY problems at all ...
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
SuperNexus doesn't really have anything. I wanted to at least add touchwiz to it. Im still learning how to theme and I did get photoshop 6 trial. I haven't got it installed yet on ubuntu.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
I tested out the SuperNexus myself.

1) Smooth, real smooth. Even smoother than CM10.1.

2) I can't get quick toggles. The button is there in notification drawer, but pressing it won't filp the view to tiles.

3) Absolutely no customization makes it somewhat boring :)

[Epic 4G Android Development] VitoHGrind:
Downloading Slim4 now. For the record, somehow I downloaded v2.1 instead of 3.4 so that's probably why I was getting the reboot errors. I have absolutely no idea where I found the link for 2.1 lol. Thanks for the great work!
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
That is indeed weird =/ Maybe something got lost in coding which is why quick toggles don't work for us, but do on your Fascinate? Despite how barebones SN is, I'd actually run it permanently if the quick toggles at least worked. This would be the first pure AOSP rom for us, right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Thank you, me too! This is all just for fun and I think sometimes people loose sight of that. Everyone has their own real life responsibilities to worry about and take care of. When you get a chance gtalk me.

Your welcome:highfive: I haven't forgot about that Xylon boot splash screen you want and I will get it for you, just have to figure out where it's located.

We move at a fast pace here in the Slim world lol.

I changed a few things in Slim 4.0 with the boot animation and boot image but if you're getting any reboot errors as always let me know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:

[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
Thank You for the effort but that's not the same one ... I cannot figure out where the other one exists inside the ROM ... is it in the kernel package itself ???
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
That one that Effsi linked isn't it? That's the boot splash screen that I got after I deleted the bootanimation.zip and flashed the rom. Which one are you talking about:confused:

---------- Post added at 03:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:02 PM ----------

Yes, have you tried the Slim v4.0 that's up?
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
don't worry about it DynamicN , I guess I'm not explaining myself correctly ( not using the correct terms ) .... when I had originally downloaded Effsi's XylonK , I immediately deleted the bootanimation.zip it came with because I knew the bootanimation.zips had caused some problems previously , but was surprised to see somekinda Xylon slashscreen-animation when I loaded it ( I even mentioned it to Effsi at the same and he seemed to be surprised by it as well ), so somewhere in that ROM it exists but it's NOT the bootanimation.zip ... it's no biggie , U guys are doing an awesome job for our benefit and I thank you greatly
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I did the exact same thing and I got the Xylon splash screen that said Kanged Elegant Simple Fast. I want to figure out what one your talking about, it's going to bug me if I don't lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] epic559:
Yea running build4 now it Has the same app orientation issue to apps that would never be landscape like voxer was always only portrait but when keyboard is closed it goes landscape opposite of keyboard till keyboard is out :\ ima go with ns4g modem with effsi 0308 kernel see how that goes
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
I thought this last build fixed that issue but I will figure it out this weekend. Let me know if it's any better using Effsi's 0308 kernel.

[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Quickly tested out Slim 4 but again, quick toggle tiles won't work for me. Apart from that, lockscreen doesn't appear at all. With a MD5 correct zip, I don't know if it's because of a setting hidden somewhere...

And [MENTION=3878858]didhiy[/MENTION], sorry to say but the second boot screen (where typically there's the Galaxy S /CyanogenMod) looks very bad (I know that's in your kernel). Please revert or at least refine it.

Sent from Xperia Mini Pro SK17i @ CM10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Where did you go to enable the quick toggle tiles and do they not work at all? Also for the lockscreen did you enable a custom background? How does the second boot screen look bad? I'm asking so I know where and what to fix.
[Epic 4G Android Development] TexasLTE:
toggle tiles seem to be working for me ... :fingers-crossed: :p

you can replace bootanimation yourself if you'd like ... :rolleyes: ( I use ROM Toolbox Pro ) ;) :cool: :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
1) I had the ROM fresh, i.e.

I hadn't touched anything after I boot

and quick toogle tiles doesn't appear when I press the toggle button in notif drawer. And of course, lockscreen settings isn't touched at all, too. I'm not into too much customizations.

2) I mean, [MENTION=3878858]didhiy[/MENTION]'s changed the "Galaxy S / CyanogenMod" 2nd boot screen to a (maybe) personally (but very badly, seriously) done picture mix. Check it out yourself. Not a big deal to me, as I already hate Voodoo and will flash a kernel from the latest CM nightly the instant I detect Voodoo Color's existence. That will get rid of the pic. But for you Voodoo / NS4G lovers, I still want to shout out to [MENTION=3878858]didhiy[/MENTION] to revert the change. Maybe you can do it.

---------- Post added at 08:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:37 AM ----------

2nd boot screen is PRIOR to the bootanimation.zip I can typically replace with Root Explorer or ROM Toolbox. It's in the kernel.

On normal CM builds it says:

=====================

=======GALAXY S=======

=====Cyanogen(mod)=====

=====================

And same thing goes for [MENTION=3878858]didhiy[/MENTION]'s kernel as of 0401. But this time in the latest kernel there goes a poorly PSed picture. I don't see why... :)

It was working when I was on the Epic Modem......I decided to switch over to the NS4G modem......and now it doesn't work......

No biggie really, just thought I'd throw it out there. Strikes me as odd the modem would have some kind of a direct dealing with the FaceLock...

Oh....and yes the NS4G works perfect on 4.0 :D

Thanx again to all the awesome Devs :good::good::good:
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
1) For the quick toggle tiles go to System Settings > Interface > Notification Drawer > Quick Settings Panel and make sure it is set to "Enabled." Also under the "Quick Settings Panel" is many options to customize how it works such as Quick Pulldown, Quick Pulldown Without Notifications and Quick Settings Style. For the Lockscreen settings go into System Settings > Interface > Lock Screen and under "Background" change it to "Color Fill" or a "Custom Image" of your choice. Please give this a try and report back if you have time. Your feedback is much appreciated.

2) That second boot screen isn't Didhiy's fault/doing. I put that in myself because I saw Pacman had it, I liked it so I pulled it and boot it into Slim 4. When I tested myself it booted fine 3 times in a row with no problems/hiccups. There is no voodoo color in this rom or kernel because I myself have had bad experience with it.

If you could give this rom another chance doing what I stated above and remove the bootanimation I'd appreciate it.

unfortunately back, home, and menu are only customizable. Search is not :( found an app to remap it, but lost haptic feedback on that button only:confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
You are correct, the modem wouldn't effect the Facelock feature. My guess is the ns4g kernel is the culprit. The Epic modem kernel, that I put into this ROM, would have had to be replaced with a ns4g compatible kernel in order for the ns4g modem to work. By no means am I bashing the ns4g kernel you flashed (I know the amount of work it takes to create this stuff lol) I'm just stating what I think is the culprit.

I can confirm this after now trying it and you are correct. I will look into it.

Edit: Try downloading Google Search from the Play Store then it should work.

Edit 2: I just tested it and it looks like the hardware Search button all the way to the right does not work. As a temporary workaround you can add a Google Now widget/shortcut to the home screen.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:

If you're on ns4g radio coming from another Rom here is the proper procedure:

[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
[MENTION=1257850]dps33[/MENTION] It seems fine for me.

I did notice that under mobile networks I can't change the CDMA roaming mode.. It stays on "Home only" no matter what else I select... Anyone see this also? I'm in the mountains so I don't get Sprint's service consistently. I noticed that roam helps on certain occasions and is nice to have.

[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
You're welcome.

Run a speedtest and compare the two. I didn't change any files pertaining to the signal strength display so it should be good. Yes, use .ogg format and the ringtone will loop continuously. Also in the file info you will need to create a field called Android_Loop=True (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=20424177&postcount=4)

A new build huh? The last one I tried kept locking at the boot animation. I'll try this one now. I know there is a work around for boot hang in here. Can someone link it or at least summarize to save an old guy some digging? Also, is there a way to change the size of well... everything? It's all so small. More evidence of my oldness!
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Sorry to hear that and I hope this one works better for you. I would upload another version without the boot animation but I'm at work right now, it's pretty straightforward when removing it though. Go into the zip after you download it but before you transfer it to your phone, go to System then Media and remove the whole "bootanimation.zip" file. Yes you can change the size to whatever you like, go to System Settings > Interface > General > LCD density and follow the steps. By default Slim's lcd density is 182, standard is 240. You can change it to whatever you like, I think 213 is a good reasonable size but that's just my opinion.
