If Sony would be release the kernel sources...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] siddharthisback:
Hi guys

Is there any chance that Slimbeam Photosphere addon will work on this? If yes, how are the results??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I want to update Calendar app, it is astonishing. I see Google Calendar in Google Play but it says Install, not Update. Is it because Slim uses moded apps or Calendar is different than Calendar provided in G. Play?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akkiannu:
The Google calender app is a stand alone app.. the calender app in the Rom is provided by developers and not Google...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Okay, thanks.

And, one last question for now - how to lower minimum brightness? It is very bright for me, especially when I use phone in dark. Where can I change those values myself?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhavikgupta:
Its in display.. Under system settings
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I want to lower that minimun that is accessed with slider ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhavikgupta:
Try this, does the same thing u asking

ScreenFilter From Google Play
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhavikgupta:

latest flash tool here

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kives:
Sources are out. :)

http://developer.sonymobile.com/dow...es/open-source-archive-for-build-6-2-b-0-200/
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I hope SlimBean will be updated as soon as possible wih all those goodies that new kernel brings :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kufikugel:
Hey guys,

sorry I was not much available last time...I am still ill and just going slowly better.....hope it is soon over

Whatever we just released build.6 with a lot lot changes and stability optimize.

check our changelog on www.slimroms.net

and download as usual the build and important you need to flash the new gapps this time please :)

and yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaah about sony source :D This is a big step for us and I will work now mainly to get this stuff to SlimBean :) I think next weeklies should contain first stuff for sure

cheers and thanks

Lars

PS, and with sources we have now the chance to figure all out and to get it perfect :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I used it before, it doesn't dim screen brightness, it just puts an extra semi transparent layer upon app or homescreen.

Can anyone tell me which settings sould I change in build.prop to lower brightness?

And yes, I am downloading build 6, can't wait to see how will work now. Build 5 works fantastic, not a single reboot in 3 weeks! Only thing that it a bit annoying is laggy notification bar when pulled on homescreen. And brightness :D

Other than that - SlimBean is the best ROM for Xperia S out here :)

EDIT: [MENTION=4790322]kufikugel[/MENTION], 999 posts, only one to go! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] agentinani047:
I'm on build 5. Can someone tell me the precise steps to upgrade to 6? I have downloaded the Rom. I know noob q. Sorry :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anightfire:
Just factory reset and wipe data, cache and dalvik cache and install ROM and gapps. And your good to go.....
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Bugs:

(most of them are already familiar but I'll list them anyway)

- camera freeze when taking photo @ 12Mpx

- video recording freeze @ 720p (fixed: reboot saves the day!)

- network is lost after several reboots

These bugs were noticed on build 5 and are still present in build 6:

- when listening to music via PowerAMP and when I get message on Viber music starts to play on speaker (even though headset is plugged in) - it happens rarely but still... oh and I don't have this bug on other ROMs, stock or custom

- choppy notification drawer animation when in lockscreen, especially compared with animation when in some app. Examples (not on Xperia S but it's the same thing): link 1 , link 2 , link 3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xmixmaster:
try a clean install from start..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I tried clean install, several times to be honest. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] carthage:
same for me
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kufikugel:
the 12Mpx freeze after some time as well the network loose error we reduced as much as possible. All other we can work now on due the new source from Sony now. Working with the blobs from the leak only worked for stock camera eg....but had much problems with 3 party apps. So I decided to wait now for the sources. As well the 1080dp recording and HDMI

This was the most stable thing which was possible in the current situation and now we can polish :D Already have the sources and tried first tests here localy. Just need to get better now myself to work 100% on it :rolleyes:

but just a fyi due that this is Official SlimBean we will of course going with the current releases and changes + the device specific changes we can start now :) And I think as well we need to prepare us now finally for AOSP 4.3 which imo will come this month. So a lot lot to do
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
Quick feedback on build 6;

It is stable and fast just like build 5, I like that True View on camera, picture is not streched and it really is progression. Also, I don't know is it placebo or what but it seems that picure quality has greatly improved. When zoomed to 100% I can't see those darker dots anymore.

Here are two picture taken from same spot with different builds. 100% crop.

Build 5

Build 6

Update: I'm sorry but photo comparison is not good because later, build 6 picture was taken with lower light conditions where those dark dots aren't so visible. I took some pics on daylight and that grain is still present :(

Unfortunately mouse cursor still won't work. I mean, I can control my phone with mouse but there is no cursor displayed on screen. I really hope it will be implemented soon.

I optimized my Android with disabling and uninstaling unneeded stuff and now I have arond 350 - 450 mb free. After opening Dolphin, Camera, Settings and 3-4 more apps there is still around 250mb free RAM so I don't experience almost any lags that are RAM related.

There is some stutter present but it's because of my CPU settings (192MHz min, 1080MHz max, sakuractive governor) but that's only on beggining, CPU needs some time to ramp up frequency. It is intentional stuttering :D

With Apex Launcher I get the most smoothest performance. I didn't used Nova launcher for longer period of time but in that little time I noticed it stutters occasionaly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Kuroyukii:
Hello. Does this rom support Phablet mode?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] SymbiX:
Sound Recorder

Sound recorder gives me an FC. Anybody else?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Oh, I can't wait, I need to post it here. I'm receiving my XS this week and I'll be transferring from my Slim Nexus S to this. I was a bit worried when I read that 12mpix, 1080p and hdmi are not working but I hope that it'll be fixed till version 7 or even in nightlies. I was thinking about trying some stock roms here but now I think I will pass them and flash SlimBean right after my first boot :) see you soon guys, I'll post right after I'll get my Xperia. Cheers!

wi-fi problem

i am coming from stock base

why when i turn wifi on i cant see my router ????

any help?????????
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhavikgupta:
Yes just use flashtool to flash the kernal then install the ROM using the recovery .. nothing more

Feel free to ask if u don't understand anything on the instructions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anightfire:
I doubt u can flash custom Rom kernels via flashtool, flashtool is for stock based kernels only... You have to fastboot custom Rom kernels.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dreezz:
no problem to flash custom kernels...

start flashtool, go to fastboot mode, reboot into fastboot mode (adb) (or do it manually via power up+vol.up key), select kernel to flash... go.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhavikgupta:
yes you can .. i did

Just flash the kernal and put the ROM zip on the Internal storage prior to flashing the kernal..

Once you flash the kernal, go into recovery and install the ROM.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aerogenes:
Data stats

Somehow my data usage has significantly increased... ?

Since flashing Build.6 i'v used 256mb mobile data... apparently...

But as you can see in the attached the individual apps have used 600 mb which is more than the total of 256 mb is showing.... Strange!

Somwere a error in calculation of the data usage??
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhavikgupta:
Can i update without losing my settings and installed apps.

It has been around a month... The ROM has settled nicely and i have tweaked it according to my conforts don't want to lose the settings and apps.

Certainly the best rom for my SL.

Absolutely no issues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] shingers5:
lol yeah i got a 2gb warning but in actual fact i had only used 64mb. ignore that mate

---------- Post added at 03:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

yea you can................

first can just upfate by flashing only wiping cache and dalvik

or can backup rom via recovery and restore only sd-ext which will put all your apps and data back like before
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kufikugel:
yes this is just a visual bug......it is because of one of our JIT optimizing changes.

So do not worry the real data usage is as usual. It just calculate it wrong.

Will be fixed with next weekly

sorry for that
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aerogenes:
Thanks for confirming this is a known bug.

Had other app installed for 3g data counting and verified my data usage was indeed normal and the amount shown by Android was false.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I think we have a winner here :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ciaastek:
Hi! I just received my Xperia S as I wrote before and after... 2-3 hours of fighting with root, unlock bl, root again, recover from semi-brick etc etc I've got SlimBean working :D it's just great to change phone and keep my data and apps. I guess I will mess around with new stock firmware but SlimBean will definitely be my daily-driver.

I'm coming from Nexus S SlimBean thread so I don't have much questions for now I guess. Yeah, I just wanted to say hi :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mr-tical:
Hey guys, please tell me about MMS messages.

When it comes it received automaticaly or you must enable data manually?

On stock ROM the data enables automaticly for receive MMS, how this works on this custom ROM?

I remember that on every custom i've tried on X8 (every MiniCM and MiniCM based) everytime i needed turn data on manually to receive MMS :/

Thanks, cheers.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I think you need to enable data manually but I'm not sure. I'll test it right now.

EDIT: Xep, MMS will not arrive if mobile data is not enabled.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HarpingOn:
The Gapps package downloads gmail 4.3.1

Trying to update gmail from market says

"Package not signed correctly"

If I delete gmail with titanium, and try to install market version of gmail, I get

"incompatible update"

So, how can update to the latest gmail with slim bean?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kufikugel:
yes that is due that we have modded all google apps to get them to work with the TRDS toggle. If you want to update from playstore delete the old....reboot and then install from playstore....

or ask me....finished the new apps from google yesterday but are not published yet...just push them to /system/app set permissions and reboot

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/106208842/apktool/Gmail.apk

cheers and have fun

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HarpingOn:
That's great thank you.

I must also say, I migrated to Slim Bean from PAC 4.2.2, and on the Xperia S, Slim Bean is so much faster, it's totally awesome. Thanks for a great ROM.

Used to use Slim on my old Galaxy S i9000 too, which the Xperia S replaced.

I just like 'phones with S in the name.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wendigogo:
Same here : Got a Galaxy S on Slim rom (switching from paranoid) and now my Xperia S will stay for a while in Slimbean. Tried differents others roms : eos, pac, stock but none is as great as Slim (light, lot of features I need etc.). It only miss some stuff from stock rom (Walkman, Camera, eap-sim etc.) but some of them may be fixed with new kernel sources from Sony.

Thanks for all this work !

PS : tested gmail/calendar apk given before : works great !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kufikugel:
Hey guys,

thanks a lot for this incrediable nice userbase and the nice words!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

still ill myself so the progress is a bit slower beside that the new 3.4 kernel sources are pain in the a*** :p lmao

whatever we just published a new 6.2 weekly build....normal I do not say that.....but I suggest to everyone to flash it. IMO this is in general one of the most stable builds SlimRoms ever had.

Interesting fix for nozomi.....the camera freeze should be fixed at all now. All other like HDMI etc will follow then when I am finished with the new sony sources lol.

So go ahead flash (as well new gapps...google fixed some stuff) have fun

cheers

Lars

PS. dirty flash is no problem from build.6 to 6.2
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Basian Mile:
Which CWM is recommend to use? I still have here "CWM Touch 6.0.3.0"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lilude56214:
Looks promising :D Skipped Slimbean for a while and now is a good time to re-enjoy all slimbean facilities :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] gnahanut:
I have not seen the download link for Nozomi 6.2 @__@

Edit: Found it, nvm.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
When auto rotation is enabled and when I scroll through gallery in landscape animations are a bit choppy. No issues in portrait mode.

Slowdown is noticed in build 6 and 6.2.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kufikugel:
guys I am on the way....we had a small error with the new google calendar (it does not sync right).....for the ppl who already downloaded and flashed new gapps just flash this upgrade package

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...grades/2873-upgrade-build-6-to-6-x-slim-gapps

wipe dalvik/cache......go into calendar settings....readd the calendar you want to sync

and you are fine.....for all other who did not update till now do not worry all gapps packages were updated and corrected.

sorry and cheers

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] GTDarthYoda:
Just picked up a Xperia S and SlimBean is my favorite rom.

That said, any issues I should know about before I commit to micro-sim phones?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] HarpingOn:
Hi

Is there any way to change which camera app gets launched from the camera shutter hardware button?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Wendigogo:
Don't find it in Nozomi rom folder ... |-[

Saw it ... In "weekly" section !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
With build 6.2 I can't turn on camera with camera button. Also, on half press camera focuses but on full press it seems like phone thinks I released button.

It happens in both ways - when upgrading from build 6 and when doing clean install.

EDIT: I don't want to make impression like I don't like SlimBean with my constant bug reports, I really like SlimBean (I don't even think of replacing it) and exactly because I love it I want for it to be better and better. Don't take this bad - I just really want to help :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] asdfgj69g:
With ghost commander I am almost unable to copy large files (>100 MB) from a windows share to my XS. I am new to Slimbean, but I have used ghost commander a lot on other ROMs on my XS. Is this a familiar problem?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] aerogenes:
Camera is opening with camera button only when not active. When camera was active and then home button is pressed camera will not open with camera button till you open the camera app from menu and close camera app with back button, then camera button wI'll open camera app again.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wernerzero:
Can't get my WiFi to work on the 6.2...

It finds the network, I can put in the password, but when trying to connect...nothing... :confused:

Also problems with ANT+. Won't connect and freezes the apps ie. Endomondo.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Ashray_Vk:
Is there a loop partition zip file available for dual boot?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RazorMC:
Xperia has frequent problems with Wifi.

Change your router settings from b/g/n to either G only or N only. Then restart your router and try to connect again.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wernerzero:
I got the WiFi working, after installing the ROM from scratch again... :)

But something's not right with the ANT+ and I also noticed that almost all apps that uses GPS freezes or crashes and after that the phone is really slooow and laggy and unstable... :/

I was going to restore an earlier Slim-ROM, but it didn't work anymore...file was corrupted (was OK before)... :confused:

W.Z.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kubekpop:
Hi. Why do AOSP roms have such low 2d/3d performance? I mean the games, not benchmarks. I can hardly play CSR Racing or other quite heavy games which work on stock Sony rom. Why is that? On my previous phone (HD2) AOSP roms were the best, better than CM and Sense roms... Except this, cool rom :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I don't have problems running 3D intensive games on SlimBean (I tried Real Racing 3).

It is possible though to have slightly lower performance because custom ROMs tend to use drivers from different devices. As far as I know almost every 4.2.2 ROM for Xperia S uses modified drivers from Nexus 4 (correct me if I am wrong).
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kubekpop:
Could you please try CSR Racing? I found it laggy, maybe something changed...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I tried and I don't experience any major stutter.

Sometimes I experience frame drops but it is rare enough to not affect gameplay.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DavidTiger:
Same here, Siting 30cm from the router with a -40dBm signal.. I try to connect the signal drops to poor while connecting. Fails with authentication error.. then the signal is back to full excellent signal..

Going to reflash the rom, fix permissions and see what happens..

EDIT: No joy.. Will flash 6 and see if it works then try 6.2 without wipe and hope that it still works :)

EDIT2: Success.. Flashed 6.2 over 6 and WiFi works straight away with full strength signal :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] 15131331231:
i have flash it at the moment.smooth and fast,but i do not know how about battery-dripping.

a feature request: app drawer organizing

I use this fantastic ROM and tried the stock Xperia launcher v2. It is quite good launcher, but it lacks app organizing in app drawer (folders, categories ...). Is there a possibility to implement any app organizing feature in future versions? thx
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tania247260:
wait and see and please inform about the battery life
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RazorMC:
Sorry. I haven't used ANT+ or any GPS-based app lately so I can't comment on this. :(

Try installing another custom ROM and see if these two work with that. And you can report back here for the dev to check.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] phixom:
All 4.2-based ROMs hasn't a working ANT+ support. So I've make a decission between using my hrm-belt with endomondo or using Android 4.2 in my XS.

There is the hope, that someone get working this with the fresh released kernel sources.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] wernerzero:
Ok, I tried to search, but I didn't find any mentions about it not working, so I thought it would (as it is also included in the ROM)...

The ANT+ is no big deal really, I've used it maybe twice a month to check my pulse on workouts and see my progress.

So now I only have to find a solution for the GPS-problem.

Really like the Slim ROM,so it would be a shame if I had to dump it...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] JotaJgreen:
Hi guys, I'm using SlimBean 5.0, and I have one problem...

Im new with my driver license (:D) and now I usually use the GPS with Maps and Navigation. I observe that the mobile goes high temperature (probably around 45º), when i use it. Does anyone experience it? Im seeing the yellow spots... :S when i tested it, it didnt appear :S:S

Thanks, and great rom job.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
It is normal for phone to heat up when used that way. Yellow spots are known issue with screen when it reaches higher temperatures.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Th3DON:
I downloaded the ROM. Can someone tell me about 2G connection , is there any problems in connectivity like in official .211 firmware .

i am from india, i can't access 2G connection in jellybean ..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] DavidTiger:
45 degrees is nothing, Try using it with GPS+3G Data+Music plus have it in a pocket and see how hot it gets. I do regularly, though I never actually look at a temperature reading I can tell you its hotter than 45C xD

It's completely normal and won't harm it, Think of your PC/Laptop, although they are bigger, stronger chips they take a lot more heat. Especially if its a laptop.. those regularly exceed 70 and 80 degrees celsius :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bhavikgupta:
Absolutely no problem with 2G/3G

Thanks.

PD: I cant go when i bought because had been bought in Orange, and now im not with them, im in other company.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I'm living perfectly fine with build 6 and I think I will update when SlimBean gets HALO, 3.4 kernel and 1080p video recording.

Under "update" I mean using ROM as daily driver, I still try weekly build every now and then ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] akkiannu:
1080p is still far fetched dream... you'll use it soon...3.4 kernel is close!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] switzerland92:
I don't want to rush anyone, as I said build 6 works almost perfectly for me.

I will always encourage new features that are not rushed, just for the sake of publishing. It this means 1080p recording will be available next month or even year but with almost 100% functionality - I'm fine with that. :)

kufikugel and co. make one of the best ROMs for Xperia S (imho), stock ROM is not a option anymore. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] xyrer:
Is there a way to enable the navbar and disable the hardware keys? I've been looking but nothing works, I don't know if it's because of the rom or what
