Seems as though people like Slim 8.0

I'm uploading Slim 8.0 Gapps to my dev host now so it's all in one place for you guys.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
I for some reason have build 8 installed on both my Epic 4g's and youtube never plays any videos. Do any of you have the same problems?
[Epic 4G Android Development] ninj0r:
installing the AIO_Addons.4.2.2.build.8 from slimrom's website allowed me to use the voice dialer to open apns to fix mms issue.

I had to install the big mem patch to fix this. look for JB_BigMem_26-aug-12.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Flash this http://goo.im/devs/didhiy/sph-d700_cm-10.1/JB_BigMem_26-aug-12.zip
[Epic 4G Android Development] :
This is cm based right?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Yes.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
No they started from google source . :)

Good catch, my bad.

Where'd everyone go?

[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
It's like the old Maytag repairman commercials. When you have a product that good there's nothing to say!

Although I COULD ask why by default my email alerts are set to silent, and will not allow me to set a notification tone to them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Just installed

I just installed it and it is my first JB install after snoozing on playing with my phone in a while. I do dig it. I had one issue that the guys at the IRC chat seemed to fix...

They also noted that this is an unofficial slim build and stated they could offer little assistance as a result. I thought hta twas strange...

I think the only issue I have noted presently is that I do not appear to enable 4 g on thes phone. I did when I initally flashed but I was having the keyboard FC on me so I had to take care of that. Presently I have not got it enabled yet... strange. I would typically read through the whole thread prior to posting as I know this has probably been reported... but you guys seemed to be begging for someone posting....

Thanks for the killer Rom

[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Now upon looking into it, it's also my sms that is set to silent, and I am unable to change it. It let's me open the menu that lists the notifications, and lets me select one, but when I do it doesn't actually change despite having previewed the sound. I can't for the life of me think of a setting I have changed that would have caused this. Nor do I know how to change it back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Do your ringtones work?

Have you set the quite time setting to silent for notifications? Just throwing that out.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
The quiet time thing was one of the first things I checked lol. Ringtones do work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
How about in sound/advanced. Scroll to the bottom. There are settings there for notifications. Actually in that menu, there are several options for notifications.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
All of the options in that sub (advanced sound) menu pertain to quiet hours.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Are you on build 8 with the new menu options? The reason I ask is, that sub has several options in it that do not pertain to quite time.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Well, I guess that depends. How many updates have come out since 8 dropped? I think I am on the 1st (and I thought only) release there was.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
I am not sure but in that sub, under the ninth option is some of the menu options for notifications. There should be 3 options.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
The reason our device has unofficial builds are because the Slim Rom devs didn't want to make the Epic 4g officially supported when these roms were first built.

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:04 AM ----------

I've only released one version of Slim 8 for clarification. I don't have those issues, keep looking in settings.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Yeah I've hunted it down exhaustively. Just such a weirdly random thing to have happen. It was't that way, and then suddenly, it was. Not giving me notifications is just more excuse to stare at my phone all day lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Djinn23:
Thanks.

I am about a tenth of the way through the thread now but realized a couple of things.

First ... (and if this is anwered a lot then I am sorry) I tried to go straight from a stock BML to this after flashing CWM 5 on it. I dont know if it was CWM five but I suspect it was the fact that it was BML that caused my issue because I seem to recall it not looking very productive on the flash at the part where it is dong something with storage... I too hung at the splash...

I flashed to CM 10 which installed an updated CWM (6?) and then flashing Slim on top of it went really well. Formatting that partition is key though if you dont want the keyboard crashing on you.

Now I have a question while I am reading through the posts. I noticed that I still have the CM Kernel on my phone... is there a prefered kernel? I know it is a matter of opinion but maybe unjustified or someone who has been running this for a while can let me know? I know there are specific kernels to use the other devises modem from Effis (sp) and there are aprobably some opinions based on the "need" to use that modem... but I wanted to poll as I think I should change to a slightly more tweaked kernel.

THanks in advanced.

PS. I was amongst the first pre-ordered Epic owners and was dissapointed with teh community support at first like many speak of and this is truely a great and vibrant community ... thanks dev's and hobbiests for keeping this phone on the charts.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Slim 8.0 is the only build I've done that I did not include a kernel simply because I figured you guys would flash one of your choice. I recommend flashing one of Didhy's Nitest kernels found here http://goo.im/devs/didhiy/sph-d700_cm-10.1
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannyzen:
Hey guys,

Long time listener first time caller. Flashed Slim Bean 8 on top of CM10.1, using FC09 / Stock Kernel. Absolutely love the rom's features, exactly what I'm looking for. The challenge I'm facing is that the device has become unstable after changing some (can't figure out which) settings.

Symptoms include the screen not turning on (but the hardware keys are lit up) when re-powering and the device becoming non-responsive after reboot. Any ideas or fixes or warnings around what settings should not be played with? Happy to provide logs or troubleshoot my way out of this if someone is willing to help me out..

Thanks much!
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Sounds like someone should be making more nanoid backups. It also sounds like you should just rewipe it and start over. All part of the flashing game.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dannyzen:
Fair point. Format /system & /data enough or should I be Odining back?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
If you're just reflashing Slim you don't need to Odin.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Try augmentor's suggestion but you could always go into recovery and wipe data and cache (just to see if that helps).
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
That's a good point. And one I never think of because I'm so used used to completely nuking my own sh!t.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Lol me too...

Nvm, wrong forum.

:banghead: to many devices. Hard to keep track.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Here: Have a laugh at my expense. I have no idea what you just said means.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Look at previous post.

I did laugh a little.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
Howdy y'all! Hope everyone's doing well! I sure am with this rocking ROM!! So I was just wondering if anyone else had an issue with the notification sounds (along with a vibrate) going off multiple times even after I've looked at them.. It's a simple thing that I've looked over since forever lol I'm gonna do a clean install later today n fiddle around to see if I can find anything. It seems to do it whenever I hit the power button to check the screen.

My contracts coming to an end soon but I think I'll be hanging on to this ol' OG til I've got better cash flow. I really love Slim and the fact that I have it on this ancient beast is an amazing feat that astonishes me e'ryday! Haha :] I really appreciate all the work that's been put into this phone, it's great!

Random question (I'll scratch it if I find the answer previously posted): will this ol' dag see the light of 4.3 Slim?

Thanks again, for everything!!

[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
There's a chance you guys may see Slim 4.3 on this 3 year old phone but no eta.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Yeah but I can't build it . But I can help dynamicn if he wants but I'm out of town again.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Your all over the place lol. Gtalk me.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
When you say going off, do you mean that your notifications no longer work? I have had a problem since my last flash that my SMS and email notifications do not work. I GET The emails and SMS's, but there's no accompanying sound. When I go into settings and try to select a notification, it doesn't change off of silent. I have been looking for a different setting that is bypassing it, but have had no luck. So I guess I'm just looking for clarification.
[Epic 4G Android Development] boruko:
By "going off" I mean every time I check my phone, the notification sound plays and it vibrates. Sometimes repeatedly, even just for Calendar reminders.. Just by pressing the power button to see the lockscreen. It's just a nuisance for me, not quite as serious as your issue it seems..

- b
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
I know we have discussed this issue before but have you tried zedge to see if that app would work?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Figured it out last night. After I flashed AGAIN to see if I couldn't reset it that way, I found it was set (by default, after a fresh flash) to the night time profile. That explains why the phone would ring, but no other notifications would come through. I never thought to check that, as I didn't know you could change the default setting. I usually have it set that was from 10p to 6a. So annoying that after having looked at so many things it turned out to be that. But I am happy it's fixed. And yes: I am as dumb as a shoe in case this whole thing hasn't shown that conclusively.
[Epic 4G Android Development] niteNarmor:
Nah. Occom's Razor, "The simplest answer tends to the right answer." (Roughly translated of course). We all think that sometimes it should be difficult then it really is.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
So I'm having problems with my bluetooth still. I don't see many people posting issues with Bluetooth. Are you guys running a different kernel? And if so what are you using, can you send me a link?

Thanks

(I'm just using stock kernrelwith ROM)
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
What problem are you having specifically, and with what device(s)? I am paired with several head units, OBDII interfaces as well as speakers and hands free devices. The worst I get is occasionally I have to restart because BT will no longer turn on. But I ultimately connect to everything I have. Sometimes it takes a solid minute for the magic to happen though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
It connects to plantronics voyager pro HD, Motorola oasis, Kenwood DNX9990hd, and an alipine head unit.. But it will quickly disconnect or sometimes lockup....
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Try the BT fix that is in this and the CM10.1 thread. I haven't needed it, but I used to use it up until the latest build.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Are you on Slim 8.0?
[Epic 4G Android Development] nathan951:
Not yet, I'm about to upgrade
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Does the capacitive search key do anything for anyone? For me it does absolutely nothing for both long press and short press. I usually configure it to open the recents but noticed there is not even a setting for it under "Hardware Keys". Maybe I'm missing something?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
The search key in SlimBean 6.0 has no functionality. 6.0 was the last time I flashed a SB ROM. This was a while back...I'm not sure if the programmer ever intended on implementing the search key. Hopefully he can shed some light for us.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tbob18:
Yeah, I tried 8.0. I'm just too used to using my search key for recents, so I had to switch to something else.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Your still going to have the same kernel after you upgrade to Slim 8.0 because I didn't include a kernel with Slim 8.0 for stability reasons. Flash one of Didhy's Nitest kernels.

No you're not missing anything. The search key does nothing as of right now but there are many other options and customizations available.
[Epic 4G Android Development] razortooth:
Just now I've upgraded from Build 6 to Build 8.

Everything seems great for now. but VIBRATION option is missing in the "Sound" Settings menu.

Anybody else facing similar issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Going to see if my friend wants to drop builds for you guys :)

4.3 if dynamicn is too busy since his new job
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
He said he would I forgot to update your source I have been busy with a few more things. Notice I have a new phone. Can't have a phone without a ROM took 2 weeks to get cm10.1. Back on topic I can try sometime soon to update source. I am so dang busy. Devices on list of importance Oppo find 5, Exhibit, fascinate, epic 4g , and Sero pro 7 that's a long project I have been working on. I am going to drain out soon that's why I made the build guide some users have these beast PCs but have weak windows on it. Get Linux and build lol
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
Where's the guide?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
In android development it might be a page back click my name then under topics/threads
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
Wow, that's great . usually he likes to wait until stable build. Since Slimrom 4.3 build 1 is out..So greatful to you guys to get that done for Epic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] razortooth:
Strange, Build 8 do not have Vibrating options at all.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
More strange than that is yesterday, for no known reason my phone just crapped out. In a very odd way. The power button would not wake it up. If the battery was pulled and rebooted, you had the screen until you turned it off (I have mine set to never time out). But then it wouldn't come back on. And while it was on, it would, for no apparent reason, just freeze up on me, resulting in another pull. I screwed with it for a couple hours until I flashed it dirty. That didn't fix it. I factory reset, wiped everything and all was well. I thought my phone had finally shat the bed. So odd though. Nothing about my operating environment had changed.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
[MENTION=4599946]AuGmENTor[/MENTION] - Sounds like corrupt data somewhere in the system.

On a side note I have moved on to the Epic 4gt. I'll still be around these forums but I may or may not still build Slim Bean.

Edit: Looks like no more Slim Builds for me (there will be someone else doing the builds) so it's been fun and I appreciate you guys, if anyone has any questions you can still ask and I'll try and answer them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] dps33:
So will anyone take it form DynamicN and will we see 4.3?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Unjust and I are discussing it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] vzihome:
It has to do with the kernel, I just flashed the notest kernel with nexus modem loving it
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
Has development for Slim Bean ended? Would love to see this with a 4.3-4.4 version.
[Epic 4G Android Development] lcovel:
I guess so, LOL.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AuGmENTor:
Lol, yeah, I think it's done.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Unjustified Dev:
Lol, yeah, I think it's done too :fingers-crossed:

You decide if my sarcasm means anything .
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
The OG Epic will never die!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Because of this full slide-out keyboard, it's the best phone in history in my opinion.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DynamicN:
Reincarnate Slim?
[Epic 4G Android Development] DaKillaWilla:
Agreed
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Hmm... (Photon Q with superior QWERTY and official CM11 is looking at ya)

But yeah, it's at least the best until obviously fiercer competition came up by 2012 Q3. In other words, the throne of QWERTY for 2 full years. And it still has KitKat while many don't. Bravo. That's why I eventually decided not to sell it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Well I can't say if the Photon Q's qwerty is superior to the Epic G's as I haven't yet had the opportunity to play around with it. I might buy one next year just to see what you're trying to get at lol.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Photon Q's 5-row, spacious, not-flat-at-all, edge-lit QWERTY is my dream.

But don't sweat it to get a Photon Q next year, not the bang for the current buck it wants (unless you can get it for less than $150). For the same price concern I purchased a Relay 4G ($100) instead of a Q. Way outta my reach.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Well that's just the thing. Sure they have QWERTY keyboards but, are they better phones overall? Have there been as many ROMs released? Are their keyboards better?
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
Better internals (Dual-core Krait + 1GB RAM), official CM11 and to be continued (because they are Qualcomm devices and have a lot in common with Nexus family, so they share codes), and the Photon Q keyboard sure feels better (although Relay's keyboard is pretty lame).

Enough of that, now that my Relay 4G is stuck in the dilemma of not even recognizing my carrier's 3G network, I still love the OG Epic!

Sent from Samsung Galaxy Nexus @ CM11
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Wait so both the Photon Q & Relay come stock with CyanogenMod 11?
[Epic 4G Android Development] spartasr:
No phone (that I know of) comes stock with Cyanogen, he means it's officially supported by the community
[Epic 4G Android Development] Night AoX:
Ohh okay.
[Epic 4G Android Development] AndyYan:
:eek: :eek: :eek: You mean sarcasm right?

Getting official CM11 ahead of everyone is one of the perks of having a Krait CPU :cool:

---------- Post added at 03:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:23 PM ----------

A special edition of Oppo N1 comes with CM pre-installed. I hate that phone though.

No sarcasm intended. I thought that was what you meant.

Well guys, its been grand using the trusty Epic4G. I received the GalaxyS4 for Xmas, so I will be moving on.

SlimKat 4.4.2 build 3.8

Slim-epicmtd-4.4.2.build.3.8-UNOFFICIAL-20140319-0255

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B6C4m7E5KsaaWkhEbDl1Tjl5T2M/edit?usp=sharing

Uses the kernel from bbelos 0318 build since when I compiled I some how included a kernel with twrp which didn't work right and made me have to odin. probably some small errors here and there since I rushed this out. Data seems fine, haven't tested mms or anything much yet

I tried to upload to goo.im but can't seem to login my ftp?

Edit : data died at some point, replaced with my edited apn file from my cm builds and it kicked back in. Hardware keyboard arrows are mixed up, some stock files were also removed. When I get home in 8 hours ill reupload one with the apn file baked in assuming I don't run in to any other glaring bugs while running this today at work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
slimrom has an official build 2 or 2.1 out that needs to be compiled. I had no idea about the anorexic one uploaded and would likely stick with the other slimk upload as I tested one and not the other. I am assuming I tested the first one uploaded but maybe I did the second one too? it's been too long to tell now. use at your own risk. :P

I don't get how the other guy ran in to issues. :(
[Epic 4G Android Development] iamterence:
The second uploaded booted and ran well, so everything's good with Anorexic build... but I couldn't stay away from Helly Bean.......... lol. Can't wait for build 2.0/2.1, whichever comes first :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Effsi:
I could port it but theres really no point with unjustified doing his thing. so now we play the waiting game :)

I am going to be updating helly some time soon too. I think enough time has passed even if it is just syncing up with cm source it seems.

not ready for download yet lol i love making people wait

moving to nightly builds if this one is stable ;)

it appears Slim Rom no longer uses inverted apps so if problems occur that’s the problem use the download link in the thread.
