[MENTION=4732064]DennisBold[/MENTION]: well i couldn't check the s2w fix with included kernel (in 5th May build) as u did not compile s2w with it... so, i had to flash sultan kernel separately to check s2w... however, i did check albino's 3rd may build and s2w doesn't cause frozen screen in that build... i will now try flashing kernel from albino's 3rd May build with ur 5th May build and post further results... however, i still have a bad feeling that albino's hack indeed couldn't fix the issue... I have crazily fallen in love with ur ROM and now its difficult to move back to albino's or any other...
[HTC Sensation] Sage:
any chance of adding hold back to kill app? In dev options or inherent? Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
its already there... just go to settings>interface>hardware keys... enable custom mapping and then select back key (long) and select kill current app option...
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
does the latest beta already has gApps??

I want to try the latest beta

:D

[HTC Sensation] haifish9999:
Nope.
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Wifi of my phone is always on. But I turned off wifi router last night.

this morning, phone auto connected the wifi and I did access internet.

But after a while, my phone could not find the wifi router.

I have to off/on wifi to get it reconnected. Never happened with other ROM.

Don't know whether this is occasional or not.

Will keep on using this ROM to test.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I included the source code fix in the 5th May build. Which makes the script redundant. If it doesn't work I'll add the script as an init.d script.

I know this sounds strange. I don't use my phone for calls very often. In fact, it's rare I make or receive calls. Meaning I have very little chance of testing it. All my friends and even my parents text instead of call.

I'll hopefully being calling a few people and enable S2W to test it.

That is strange.

Just to clarify, WiFi turns off completely?

Try cleaning the connectors, as I've not had any problems. If you can logcat as much as possible I would love it, and it will give me an insight into what's going on.
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
nothing strange mate... conversations are becoming less day by day... in fact, i installed ur test build in the morning yesterday morning and realised frozen screen bug late in the evening... anyway, i tried flashing kernel from albino's latest build but that resulted in no wifi so couldn't test... if u want some testing with s2w, u could compile ur kernel with s2w option and upload the kernel only so that i can test and report...
[HTC Sensation] teddybear3k:
Hi,

This is a good ROM very... light.

But, i've a problem. This ROM manages the memory badly. I am usually with 60-90 mb free. (After taskiller : 300Mb)

On another light ROM (HyperNonSense) I've 200-250 mb free. (After taskiller : 380Mb)

:confused: Any idea? the other user have same memory free? :confused:

TED
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Sure. I'll compile the ROM and kernel in a bit, and upload for you to test.

That isn't bad memory management.

Mine has 180MB/213MB free (look at the attachment), and I've been using it nonstop for two days now.

I don't mean to be rude. I need to make sure you understand this, as it's not a ROM problem.

If no-one has told you this; you're wasting memory. Do not ever use a memory killing application. The applications that it kills are needed by the OS. Those applications free memory for a few minutes, and then the OS just runs the apps it needs again using more memory. This means you end up with less free memory then you should have.
[HTC Sensation] haifish9999:
No way, I've over 280mb free ram. Using latest test build. Everything seem to be fine( changed to latest DK kernel with a little changed inside by my self and no hot anymore). The one can I've 114mb free cache for swap .
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I need to run out for a bit.

It's compiling now, should be done in less than 10-20 minutes. The build is auto set to copy the ZIP to the TestBuilds folder, for you to download.

The file to download should be called: Slim-4.2.2-S2W-EXPERIMENTAL-Tuesday07May2013-1217PM-BST

Edit: I forgot to change the 99kernel file back to Albinoman's (it's using Sultan's init.d script AKA 99z_kernel). You may need to use Kernel Tuner or edit 99kernel in /etc/init.d/ to turn it on).
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
downloading right now... :D

can you tell me what GApps should I use for this version??

there are 2 gApps in the FrontPage
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Either will work.

The Slim GApps made by TestUser has the latest Vending(Play Store) application.
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
Been using this build for past one and a half hour... had a few calls here and there... till now no freezes... awesome work.. will report if I come across any bugs...
[HTC Sensation] damjan006:
What do you think about Greenify (you can download the app from the marker needs root only)??? I think its the only app that works and its not killing any applications just puts them in hibernate mode
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Thanks. I really appreciate the feedback, and bug reports.

I need the kernel to be heavily overhauled, as it's not up-to date for building with CyanogenMod source (using CAF libraries). I'll probably be working on this at the moment. After that everything else will probably be easier to fix, and I may be able to switch to raw source from Slim to compile.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Anything that doesn't affect Android's application management sounds great. I don't recommend hibernating background apps (only because android might just force the app awake or restart it... or you could end-up breaking or not getting content from sync data).
[HTC Sensation] testuser0072:

how are u today dannis.

sorry if asking too much.

any news about uv?

is there any changes to make installer in aroma for choosing apk and config kernel ?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
not a single screen freeze till now... no other noticeable bugs as of yet... stable and rock solid build so far...
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
I;ve been running this rom since yesterday

here's my report

1. I have FC on google search...

*and I fix it by downloading google search from playstore and delete the /system/app/QuickSearchBox.apk

2. It seems battery Charging tooks forever, really slow... comparing with albinos cm10.1

3. After full charge, I'm Installing Sultan Kernel R24b5 and it's works really well, although the bettery seems drain faster,

*can't report more about battery because It need run full cycle first...

4. It seems the font is a bit blur, or have shadow behind it...

5. the apns-conf.xml is not detecting my carrier, so I have to added the mobile data apns settings manually

6. the Sound volume is weak, I can't hear the ringtones when the phone is in my pockets

Overall I love this ROM, slimbeans really is slim and light, and it will run faster with another tweaks...

good jobs dennis... :good::good::good::good::good:

Really Awesome ROM you got here..

I'll use it for my daily rom
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
i got too

for volume, I didn't know how to use this, total noobs

but many devs suggest it to use this

Tuning System Wide Volume Level

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1389756

my last questions

why adb root access with android commander not working??

if manually via terminal it can get root access

is the recovery is secure? or I need adb insecure?

ro.secure=0 ??

- - - - - - - - edit - - - - - - - -

so the reason why android commander can't access /data and /system folder directly

is because ro.secure=1, after I change into

ro.secure=0

and add few more line

ro.debuggable=1

persist.service.adb.enable=1

android commander works perfectly
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
what really is the change in the slim gapps?

what has been removed to make it slim?

I am using gapps from the below link and which is official apps

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2012857

Any benefit to use the slim gapps?

BTW: what is "DPI hacked"?

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Several libs and packages are removed (mainly photosphere libs/packages). I've tested it, and it works. However, Google Search doesn't. (If that's where you draw the 'line', I understand)

DPI (Dots Per Inch) 'Hack' means that the Play Store works for every phone even those with super low, or super high DPI settings. Even though, it technically shouldn't as some applications don't support the DPI.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I'll update those in a little bit! Thanks for your work!

I'll only be including core applications, so far I've only added Apollo, DSPManager and E-Mail. I also changed the launcher to Apex (because you have more settings to toy with). If there's any you want to remove, please tell me.

As far as the ZIP package goes, yes. I can add an Aroma installer and I can let you choose your kernel config. The only problem is. I'm using a server to compile the builds (because my own internet connection sucks) and you guys are downloading the builds straight off the server. I can download and edit the packages, then re-upload but it'll take an awful lot longer to release a build.

If I undervolt by -50 using an init.d script. Would that be OK?

Thanks!

Thank you!

1. Only with Slim GApps made by TestUser. I'll probably ask him to remove the Google Search application so it can be downloaded from the Play Store.

2. Fast charge is disabled. I know, I know. Slow charging. It does mean you get a little longer battery life (first charge is horrific I'm afraid).

3. It should improve. If not, wait until your battery reaches 5%, then turn off the device (battery pull). Leave it connected to the mains over-night.

4. Strange. Settings > Performance > Surface Improvement > Fix colour banding and blur effect.

5. Can I have your APN? I would like to add it to the build.

6. Ouch. I always use DSPManager to compress the volume for my headset (extreme). I'll find a fix.

Thank you. I'll checkout the volume tuning link.

I just added that yesterday night. :laugh:

I normally use logcat so didn't notice it, but yesterday night I tried to edit a file and ended up with an error, so added the fix.

Many thanks.
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
WOW Awesome Devs

You are really awesome...

I never met a kind and open devs like you
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
No problem.

Although, it looks like your MNC is meant to have a leading zero.

MMC MNC Brand

510	08	AXIS

I added the values you gave me, as they work.
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
its ok for me if i have to edit from init usully i edit maxfreq from there.

btw i cant find log from couple last build :)
[HTC Sensation] testuser0072:
Hi Dennis and everybody, I uploaded updated version SlimGapps 4.2.2 build 5.Now does not contains Google Search, because some people had problems. Dennis update the links please.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Logs? I don't release changelogs for test-builds.

This if for the latest build (Slim-pyramid-S2W-EXPERIMENTAL-Wednesday08May2013-1114AM-BST.zip)

I'll just post it here:

Replaced 99Kernel with Sultan's as it's got a few more options.

Fixed 01slim init.d file. Now zip aligns and fixes permissions on boot, as well as setup crons.

Added 20uv UnderVolt init.d script (Undervolt -50).

Fix ADB.

Added ASEC Fix (will add init.d script also).

Fixes from Albinoman's phone application (cred. to NBJ or NJB (someone correct me please!))

Slim changed launcher to Nova, I changed it to Apex (a lot smoother)

Hopefully made system volume louder (headset, speaker unchanged)

Sweep to wake disabled by default, enable using Kernel Tuner or 99kernel init.d script.

May add script to force calibration of Proximity Sensor on boot.

Added AXIS APNs (thanks to [MENTION=1989166]spiderio[/MENTION])

Removed build.prop tweak to hibernate instead of turn off phone.

Can't thank you enough for making these packages! Link updated as you requested.
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
Waiting for your release ...

BTW: I don't see wifi issue during the past days.

Haven't tried other ROMs yet. it is hard to move away ...
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Turns out auto connect was randomly being turned off. I used forget all networks, and then reconnected which seems to have solved it.

I'm hoping to release a few soon.

I am working as fast as I can, and as long as I can but I do have other commitments too that deserve just as much attention!
[HTC Sensation] haifish9999:
I hope this version work for me. Always got FC when pushed in search button on all older version. Thanks
[HTC Sensation] shose:
hey there

I am still on build 4-5-13

today I was with 16H of battery with less than 3 hours of screen on time

I have anker battery, and I am used for about 4.5h of screen on time and could easy past 40h of battery

in addition to this, the device is fricking hot

played some Temple run 2 and the device was on 67c! barely could hold it anymore

I still on defualt kernel with default settings

is there a progress since that build or should I try something else?

thanks
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Yeah. I think you should try the latest build, and I highly recommend Sultan's kernel with the ROM.
[HTC Sensation] testuser0072:
No problem, I just try keep everything slim as possible. I don't like roms where "everything" is included, think that if someone need something extra, always can install from market or external apk. What a point wasting space for additional content which we never use. This rom allow me pretty easy realise idea of swap file on fast partitions located in MMC memory, so I thank you very much ! :)
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
[MENTION=4732064]DennisBold[/MENTION]: some strange behaviour i noticed in the wednesday's test build. although my phone has automatic brightness turned off, the screen sometimes gets automatically very dim. when this happens, the icons on screen (whether in app drawer, homescreen or dock) all stop responding. i mean if i try to open an app/widget from anywhere, it merely gets dark but the app/widget does not open/respond. it gets normal automatically after some time or rebooting the phone. i could figure out nothing which triggers such behaviour, seemed random to me.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Sounds like the phone is putting itself to sleep. The phone will normally fade to low brightness, and then the display will switch off. It seems it might be skipping the last part.

Can I have a logcat please?

Can you also try tweaking the screen time out? I have mine set to 1 minute and all seems to be fine.

Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
I have strange problems.. Wi-fi switch is keep the wi-fi off it's not turn on,

Even after reboot and wipe data/cache

- - - - -- ---- -Edit--- -- - - - ---

Solved with Reinstalling sultan kernel
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
will pull the logcat next time this happens and post the same...
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I think you installed with the BCM WiFi driver?

Thank you!

Please please logcat anything! It helps immensely and saves hours of digging around. I'll be more than greatful for any debugging info.
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
well, the same problem occurred again. i have attached the logcat. hope this helps.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
...I could hug you! (I won't. I swear, but huge thanks).

I'll update and tweak a few things and all should be well.
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
It happened to me when i set minfreq to 1920000.it running well in 384000
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
It does seem to be a kernel problem. I'm checking myself now in an attempt to reproduce it.

[MENTION=4399622]gururoop[/MENTION] [MENTION=4870154]mhejek[/MENTION] Only one question. Are you using the kernel with the ROM or have you flashed a kernel?

OpenPDroid (first build) has been added to the second post. I haven't tested it or flashed it yet as I need my phone for today.

If you do flash it, let me know about bugs, errors or anything that isn't working right.
[HTC Sensation] buzzboy:
Just flashed the openpdroid build, and had problems straight from booting, no boot screen, and unresponsive screen when booted, which made it impossible to access any debug/logcat tools to help you. I am not in range of a computer so cannot use ADB unfortunately.

Any users please remember the OP'S advice and backup first when flashing test builds.

Apologies to the OP for the lack of logs.

regards.
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
Im using Using 8/5 build.with build in kernel.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I need to re-apply the OpenGL fixes, and here was me thinking I could get away without reapplying them.

OK. Thanks!

Next build should (I hope) fix it.
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
Dennis.since androis 1-7 (sultan) recommend minfreq is 384 so my problem is not majority issue. So take your time to another issue.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Thanks, but it needs to be fixed either way. I may as-well try and fix it now.
[HTC Sensation] XeloOw:
Thanks Dennis you latest build (05/8) is very fast,

I'm falling in love with Slim roms :)
[HTC Sensation] gururoop:
i'm using the included kernel with no changes to frequencies.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I'll revert my changes to 99kernel file and use Albinoman's.
[HTC Sensation] mhejek:
What governor ar u using?
[HTC Sensation] dirtytwo:
Hi,

can anyone use a navigation program? Do you have GPS??
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
yes. I have
[HTC Sensation] dirtytwo:
Which version and which kernel are you using?
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
He is most probably using ondemand.

Works fine for me. I'll be compiling an update tomorrow that will make thing smoother. (Hopefully smoother)

I'm currently using Sultan's kernel but both GPS and navigation work on Albinoman's kernel.

If you're having trouble with them, can you give me a logcat or a detailed explanation. Both would be cool too.

Also, a working OpenPDroid version should be released tomorrow too.
[HTC Sensation] spiderio:
if we have openPDroid for this roms

can I remove it?

or have the option to remove it?

it's just I didn't want hassle with privacy :p

kind a lazy :p

I love slimbean because the simplicity and the small size :D

more report

Latest Build still not getting access with android commander

I should Change default.prop - inside boot.img manually into ro.secure=0

noob question

and what does the folder cron do??

this is my first time I see it in ROM
[HTC Sensation] Incredible_Culp:
my screen isnt going off when im in-call.. using latest build.

like i said waay earlier, it doeant bother me since i turn it off using the power button when i answer a call.

just thought i'd share since the change log said its fixed
[HTC Sensation] henrik.dk:
thanks. Waiting for you openpdroid release. Will definitely give it a try.

What is the development model of the slimbean?

Does it includes update from CM mod on daily base?
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
I'm not forcing anyone to use OpenPDroid. I don't even want to use it myself. See post #2, you have a choice.

Remember to enable root for apps and ADB in developer options. I'll try and force ADB on by default.

Crons do exactly what they do on a Linux box. No change what-so-ever.

Sigh. I've been calling 453 (Orange UK's mobile credit checker) to test S2W and the proximity sensor. I've got no errors, however. I am leaning towards incorrectly calibrated proximity sensors. I'll add an init.d calibration script and see if this helps you guys.

Slim kang features from CyanogenMod but they do not(sort of) use CyanogenMod's source. I figured that out when I ran into the OpenGL problems early on. They rely heavily on AOSP code and most (but not all) of their own tweaks (because they broke OpenGL, sigh). Hardware trees and device trees come mostly from CM, and by the looks of it they've just changed a few CM files to work for their own build.

(No offence Slim team)
[HTC Sensation] Incredible_Culp:
Oh ok..

Sweet man, once you add it,, ill flash it asap, and let you know

---- EDIT ----

Correction, my screen does go off. It goes off when my screen time-out hits the mark (30 sec.) It does not go off when i put the phone to my ear.. When i was through with my call, the screen was off, and i had to use the power button to turn it back on -- it didnt come back on automatically like its supposed to.

(i tested it again -- and just sharing the results :))
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Thanks, I appreciate the testing, the bug reports and the logcats (especially the logcats). I've been swamped this week and hopefully I can spend the night switching between the ROMs and another project.

I'm compiling a version to run a few quick tests on, and I'll compile another with any bug fixes before midnight. An OpenPDroid version will be released before midnight too. I've added the init.d script to the build that will (hopefully) calibrate the proximity sensor, and I've added the ASEC script in the form of an init.d script too.

I'm just fixing up and compiling now!

I will eventually get to adding fixes tomorrow for OpenPDroid, but I need to establish if it actually works as it should, and if not what needs to be fixed. That's all today's build hopes to accomplish.

All bug reports, logcats and requests welcome.
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
Hi Dennis, I am running the May 2 nightly build v. 4.3. Occasionally, albeit not often, data drops. I don't know if it is the infamous data issues that plaque alot of other users. It is not the blinking H deal, data just drops, but only for about 2-3 minutes max, and then it returns. I know I am on an older build, so I wanted to ask if a log would be helpful to you in your future work on the rom. If not, since newer builds have come out, no problem. I was able to grab a log through terminal while it was happening. I will post it if you want and will give all the specs of my settings as well. Let me know what you think. Thanks for the great work, good stuff..:good:

Edit: Signature is up to date.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Thanks. I haven't had that issue (I flash every build I release) but I would like any information as there may be other users who have the same issue.

Try cleaning your connectors, wiping dalvik cache and so on.

Also note, the grey icon means there is a data connection. The blue connection means there's a data connection to Google servers (same applies to WiFi).

ROM updated. OpenPDroid version still compiling (sorry!).

Check post #2 for links.
[HTC Sensation] papikev:
Dennis, thanks for responding. I'll just pm you the log in a bit so I don't clog your thread with old build info. Also, on the data, with all do respect, not a noob (used to be), on the grey and blue and what they represent. Thanks bro.
[HTC Sensation] DennisBold:
Sure. Thanks a million.

Don't forget other people read the thread too! It's not necessarily for our benefit, but someone skimming over.

OpenPDroid version compiled.

Basically OpenGL errors fixed, wired headset fix. Other fixes coming tomorrow.

Link in post #2.
