You can find all the current bugs (and solutions if any) here, maintained by [MENTION=4916555]okij[/MENTION] :)

Also one build of PA here by [MENTION=4173406]Kayant[/MENTION]
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
There is and it's quite upto-date about 2 wks or less old.... Too heavy for the defy so abandoned for now

https://github.com/Kayant/Central_manifest_4.2/tree/PAC4.3
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
so not worth doing then.

or just needs more attention than can be given to it.
[Defy Android Development] HammDefy:
I agree - tried PAC some time ago, its definitly too huge because of the rom-mixture. Now i'm testing SlimBean 4.3. That's really slim, smooth and fast :)

Gesendet mit Tapatalk HD
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Not worth it atm..... Maybe kitkat will change that :p... But it uses a more ram than anything else and UI performance is slower than other 4.3 based roms.
[Defy Android Development] skeevydude:
it was like that for the Ahd too for a while there, but now, at least for us, its buttery smooth.

I still wanna try it anyways, just because ya know.
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
I've been using SB build 2 for a couple of days.

No data drops.

But I have one question. How's the battery life with 3g on?

I have a 1% discharge per hr on standby.
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Uploading new PA build now... Find it here when it's done ----> http://www.mediafire.com/folder/i09gganxn5uvz/PA_4.3

Sorry for the delay :p...

Changelog ---> Check CM10.2 thread for device stuff & here for PA stuff....

[MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION] should we make the 4.3 thread now and just add KK when it's here or just leave it as it is for now?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
SB guys will be making only one more 4.3 build, they have already started working on 4.4. Their 4.3 build 2 is anyway stable enough. But CM will start on 4.4 only after finishing CM10.2. Also Quarx is working on 3.0.8 right now it seems, So this will probably continue on CM10.2 mostly. So if we follow his lead then it might be better to open a 4.3 thread.

I made a 3.0.8 based SB today, it is pretty unstable so will not upload it. But it works, and memory usage for some apps like settings is half of that in 2.6.32 :)
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
Oh kl... Makes sense I guess will open one later today if that's ok with you. Currently doing some school work :p
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
No problem :)

But within the next 5-6 hours, I'll have to crash after that.
[Defy Android Development] Roshan_P:
Thanks for your reply!

But that didnt work either. Still getting "setup wizard not working" and"process.gapps" not working. :/..

I started from scratch this time, Still the problem is there...:(
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Are you sure you are using the jb4.2 gapps and not jb4.1?
[Defy Android Development] Roshan_P:
http://d-h.st/users/AnTerNoZ/?fld_id=12789#files

(this was in Anternoz's custom gapps thread)

I downloaded gapps package from this link. I am not sure whether it's the 4.1 or 4.2..

Can you please give me the correct links for minimal gapps? Thank you for your help!:good:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Look in themes and apps section for my thread
[Defy Android Development] UncleDan:
Tthese are for 4.2.2 for sure

[Defy Android Development] Pottkopp:
I'd like to build it myself :) which .git do i have to clone? :)
[Defy Android Development] Kayant:
repo init -u git://github.com/Kayant/Central_manifest_4.2.git -b PAC

Also found new tip for better ram performance reduce the background process limit to at most 3 processes or less if you want

And Halo works I just haven't played around with it much
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
No offence to anyone but nothing in the ROM seemed to work

The lockscreen the hybrid settings quick settings nothing! Ended up upgrading to cm10.1 :)
[Defy Android Development] stirlitz99:
I've been using the PAC for 5 days by now and it is far better than my previous CM10. You need FULL wipe (data, cache) to make it work properly.

Everything is working fine on my green lens, but BT headset and the battery meter (that is a bit hectic, jumping to 42 from 70, and to 20ish from that 40), but battery life is also better than my previous CM10. ;)

Will try rol525's version...

Kayant made a pretty damn good job for a first release.

---------- Post added at 08:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:44 AM ----------

Just copy the files over the originals with Total Commander for example?
[Defy Android Development] rol525:
No,is a .zip for flash with the recovery,but I recomend put the files manually.
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
I did every goddarn thing including wipes and everything

But still

I couldn't change the ui to phone ui

Lock screen never showed up

The quick settings wouldn't open ( two finger swipe/ set it to quick launch) nothing

I would love to try it only if someone propped a fix!!

Would actually love to try it .
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Sorry, everything works absolutely fine here too. Can't 'pop a fix' for something that works fine. Does "every goddamn thing" include checking how much free space you have on /system?
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Didn't check that well :(

But how would that help with the problems?

M on cm10.1 and system is full 325/325 MB

But so far no problems

But well if you do say so I'll try something out!
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Well if your /system becomes full halfway through the flashing, where will the remaining files go? You need to remove any unnecessary files from the ROM zip file before flashing, and use minimal gapps: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2296931

Here is an EXAMPLE list to files I have removed for myself. However you need to remove only what YOU don't need. Eg if you use LiveWallpapers, don't remove them.

/media/video
/usr/srec
BackupRestoreConfirmation.apk
BasicDreams.apk
CMFileManager.apk
Email2.apk
Exchange2.apk
Galaxy4.apk
HoloSpiralWallpaper.apk
LiveWallpapers.apk
LiveWallpapersPicker.apk
MagicSmokeWallpapers.apk
NoiseField.apk
ParanoidWallpapers.apk
PhaseBeam.apk
PhotoTable.apk
PicoTts.apk
QuickSearchBox.apk
SoundRecorder.apk
Stk.apk
SwagPapers.apk
UserDictionaryProvider.apk
VisualizationWallpapers.apk
VoiceDialer.apk
VpnDialogs.apk
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Oh cool

Well try asap

N is this safe?

What if some thing goes wrong?

But anyway Tysm
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
That's the thing, you need to know what to remove, hence the example file list. Start with only what you are sure you don't need. And if you don't know what a certain file does, don't remove it...

Anyway this is enough clutter in Kayant's thread, you should probably use the Q&A Forum for any more questions...
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
In your list I know about half of their uses

The other half ( backup restore confirmation, photo table, STK, VPN dialogs) what's all this!

Btw I don't use any included wallpapers !
[Defy Android Development] Pottkopp:
I'm currently building PAC myself :) needed the last few days to set up my mac for that :D lets hope the best :P

EDIT: wow this is taking a veeerryy looong time to build.. lets hope for it to work in the end :D

EDIT2:

Total time elapsed: 628 minutes (37686.919780761 seconds)

ok.. lets check this out..
[Defy Android Development] Pottkopp:
ok now I built it and it's working ;)

known changes:

- the wifi & kernel changes of cm10.1 ;)

- HALO :)

have fun with it ;)

Download (Drive)

EDIT: ok one issue is persisting.. also had this one on kayants build:

- SystemUI is starting extremely slowly so there's long time no Status bar & halo..
[Defy Android Development] mato_d007:
BTW if someone wants to try halo, Mokee OS open source also haves it. Im using it right now and it works fine, so you could check their code if you want too. Just my 5 cents.
[Defy Android Development] lexer98:
OHHHH !! !!! :D:D thanks Kayant for your work.

Testing and report later
[Defy Android Development] rol525:
Some feedback for PA 3.99 RC2.

My device is a MB525 green lens.

-Now the camera have a option to set quality 480 and 720P (on stock camera and camera ICS) but i can´t record videos in 720P.

-I can set the brightness of buttons

-Bluetooth is ok in this build (same bugs of CM10.2)

For the moment this is the principal changes i note.The rest is super smooth and fast,games like real racing 3 work good (25+ FPS)
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
AFAIK, SoC camera can't record 720p.
[Defy Android Development] rol525:
I know.

Enviado desde mi MB525 usando Tapatalk 2
[Defy Android Development] Antiga Prime:
Oh, ok, it just seemed like you were wondering why you couldn't record in 720p.
[Defy Android Development] rol525:
In the new build now i have a wake up delay.

[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
I m on Illusion 2.1

i want to flash SB 8.1 (the latest version) android 4.2 though,

so i just wanted to know the bugs of SB 8.1 (4.2)

and the performance ?

pls lemme know
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Slimbean 4.2? I don't know about its bugs. But if you wanna come to 4.3. It has literally no bugs. No data drops. No battery drains. No wakeup delay. Nothing. And BT works too.
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
how's the memory usage ?

i mean RAM usage ?

can i play games on it ?

on Illusion i get random reboots sometimes when i uninstall an app or turn on usb or play hd games,

p.s

i use greenify and hibernate almost the apps which run in background,

shall i flash 4.3 ? SB ?
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
4.3 should be faster. The i/o-sheduler deadline causes very rare reboots in games that are heavy on the ram for me.
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
I use greenify too. And with quite a lot of apps (100+) I have around 100 mb free. And if I ever want more. I get up to 160 mb free. Games? Well you can play all games. They're smooth. The ones i tried were "nun attack, real racing, warpdash, doodlejump, jetpack joyride. They all work awesome. But my main use is g+, tapatalk, texting, whatsapp and other IM's and it handles all that well.
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
thanks dude ^_^

gonna flash it tonight ^_^

---------- Post added at 01:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:09 PM ----------

thanks :D

gonna flash it tonight
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
And do try PA too.

PS cuz I wanna know how it is compared to SB. :P
[Defy Android Development] adyo13:
In every phonecall with Slim 4.2/4.3 I end up with the notification drawer pulled down when I move the phone away from the ear..very annoying if I want to end the call fast. Brilliant roms in rest, even if Slim 4.3 is not that smooth for me (do I need to overclock?).
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Its really smooth here. Are you using the latest 4.3 build?
[Defy Android Development] razorinc:
I tested the lateast slim, it s a good rom, but compare to quarx 4.3 it has poor battery life and little less performance...
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Are you sure you fully wiped? Here I get better performance and slightly better battery life.
[Defy Android Development] razorinc:
yes, I did a full wipe... shame I don t have two defys to make real comparison. but big thanks for developers for their hard work!
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
As quoted already. Im not sure of performance but battery life is a lot better.

---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
couldnt record videos on my green lens defy :((

on SB 4.3

pls help :((
[Defy Android Development] hotdog125:
Set video quality to 480p.
[Defy Android Development] UncleDan:
I moved from SB to latest PA. It is really snappy but it is awfully battery consuming. Anyone experiencing this?
[Defy Android Development] prashant_ch:
I am also on the new pa build...first 3 days had the battery drain...but then it started to improve...
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
i m unable to install picsart photo studio

when i try to install it shows

error -24 ?

any way to solve it ?

its one of my imp apps
[Defy Android Development] dkv2222:
Can anyone compare SB to PA?

Performance wise, battery wise.

Don't wanna waste my time cuz of really low speeds :P
[Defy Android Development] themaker69:
SB is the lightest ROM I've ever seen with only 100MB, and adding TKJV minimal gapps, this results in more than 1.2GB of free internal memory space for your Defy. SB has many customizations compared to CM. Some examples: interface transparency, PIE, DPI change, Nova launcher as the default launcher, SU built-in settings, etc. The last build (4.3 build2) is very stable, except for the bluetooth call problem, that is robotic, as all other 4.2-4.3 ROMs.

Unfortunately, I never tried PA, so I can't compare.
[Defy Android Development] erdnuesse:
You should know that it was most likely not the battery draining issue. When you change roms you shold fullwipe. When you do that, your battery stats file gets deleted(which is by the way what any recalibration app does). It takes a few charging cycles to rebuild after flashing.

So, no draining issue, but battery calibration.
[Defy Android Development] kom1812:
how to :rolleyes:set apn mobile data
[Defy Android Development] fabiosarts:
sadly for me, 20131027 of 4.3 version has a chance with that filesystem bug, which will make the system not booting again, unless reinstalling and deleting the data partition, besides, my battery was almost gone, so, i'll need to wait a bit to get an external battery charger

too sad, since SlimUI is my favorite android mod, since it's very very fast

i've used Paranoid Android, i've heard on a repply on this post, some people which tryed with an custom kernel and they run like CM7, but i never tryed, my experience with it with one hour, as we're talking in speed, it's like any cyanogenmod vainilla port, sometimes slow :B
[Defy Android Development] swapn:
Downloading:o

Now how long your battery lasting.?

u using with internet or without internet also mention that

Thanks in advance
[Defy Android Development] prashant_ch:
Already shifted to the new quarx build 24/11 kitkat....testing it

About PA build, I should say it was very much stable...I was using it with internet .

was also missing the volume rocker wake in the build...:)

SB and PA both are very good u can go ahead and try...
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Slimbean 4.3 Final Build 2.2 uploaded.
[Defy Android Development] justjr:
Thank you TJKV!

I have one question, in the changelog you state that some gapps are updated, it means the rom come with gapps included?

Looking at the rar file I can`t see apps updated, like youtube and google play (stated at the changelog).

Sorry to ask, but in the first page you state that Gapps are as in first post, there it says I can use any gapps and so, I confused. Ty!
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
the changelog refers to the gapps, that you can download from their site under addons. Gapps are never included.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yes any gapps is fine, it also says you can use my minimal gapps. Also there is one for slimbean, where play store and gmscore is patched to support the custom DPI settings in SB.
[Defy Android Development] ela1103:

[Defy Android Development] ebol94:
Can anybody help me with this BIG issue? I'm using last Slim in a MB525 and my battery is working wrong (N) Take a look.

Is it like it charges up to 25% and then it goes straight to 100%.

Thanks in advance.-
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Image doesn't load. But the issue is probably that your battery has aged. You'll have to buy a new one. Ask in the Accessories forum...
[Defy Android Development] prashant_ch:
Facing Blue tint display problem in videos and camera on the new sb build.... Other than that everything works great thank you.....:)
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Thanks I missed that. Didn't realize it affects 4.3 as well.

Tjkv

I do not get root permission in SB 4.3
[Defy Android Development] Rawwr:
Go to developer options and enable root from there :)
[Defy Android Development] ela1103:
i know that option .but in slimbean there advance option in superuser .But in superuser enable the declared permission so it access the root permission .but in cm 10 other build the declared permission is enable by default
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Another build with the colour (hopefully) fixed is uploaded. I haven't had the time to test it though, so someone please let me know when you do.
[Defy Android Development] prashant_ch:
TJkv ....The colour problem is still there...in the new build.

for camera i think its working good but for online video apps like YouTube, the blue tint still appears...
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Ouch, appears I took this but missed this.

Okay will include this and upload another build tomorrow or day after.
[Defy Android Development] flunk03:
New Build looks fine . Didnt test camera/video. Had one random reboot could be a chance event though. Will test it over the course of the day and update . Thank you for the new build .
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Is someone willing to test this build? http://d-h.st/kMg

A friend accidentally took my phone home from college today, I cannot test it myself :p
[Defy Android Development] MB525:
Strange. I don't get access to sd card. Tried two times. Back to v201312011204.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Yup that's what I thought would happen. Thanks.
[Defy Android Development] MB525:
I need a working version. Do you plan to upload a new version in the next hour :confused: Please :angel:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
No like I said it was a test thing. Would have tested myself under normal circumstances. You can go back to the previous 2.2 build or wait for a day or two :)

It is 3:30AM here.
[Defy Android Development] MB525:
Okay, sorry. Never mind. I swapped 'ramdisk' with older version. Anyways a great ROM for the Defy. Thank you!
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Slimroms has released their official final 4.3.1 builds, I think so has CM. So Slimbean 4.3.1 final build is finally final for Defy too. I cleaned up my local manifest file and sorted out some small niggles here and there like sd card, inverted colours etc.

Go and grab it, and hopefully see you guys later on the kitkat side of the break :)
[Defy Android Development] ela1103:
Tjkv

we are want to taste slim kitkat
[Defy Android Development] Hasuris:
All your base are belong to us.

Just kidding :) Slimkat is still "alpha" but I think it's close to beta now. I hope we don't have to wait too long for it reaching our defys. Till then, I changed my wallpaper to the one Slimkat is using and pretend it isn't CM :silly:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
If you guys want a taste then I have no problem in whipping one up, just don't complain about borken stuff :p

For one, in slimkat reboot to recovery boots to stock recovery rather than twrp, so we have to do a normal reboot and press vol down to get to it. Might be that slimroms hasn't integrated all the required code yet, they are doing things slowly so as to make the best fit for kk rather than bulk integrate old code and then fixing the numerous problems and incompatibilities that will popup.
[Defy Android Development] Nemado:
I'm currently on Quarx CM 4.1.2 and I'd like to try Slimbean 4.3.1. I have a few questions if you don't mind.

In the first posts I read that it is recommended to wipe the system partition. The problem is that everytime I asked TWRP to do something, it crashed. My question is, is wiping the system partition "recommended" in the "or else it will definitely bug" way or is it "recommended" in the "it's just cleaner" way?

I plan on wiping data/cache, installing slimbean zip, minimal gapps and rebooting. Do I forget anything? Is there anything specific to transition from CM 4.1.2 to SlimBean 4.3.1? Sorry for your trouble, I just don't want to flash a SBF today.
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
You can use my safewipe.zip to do the wipes before flashing, find it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=47856069#post47856069 or in my devhost where you downloaded the rom.

Nope that's about it. You can use the slimbean gapps I have uploaded with the rom if you want.
[Defy Android Development] Nemado:
The wipe script is a must-have (TWRP did crash again!) and your minimal gapps are great. As for Slimbean, I read that every update of the playstore requires a new patched playstore for Slimbean that's why I switched to another ROM.

Thanks for sharing your hard work with us!
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
Play store updates haven't been a big deal, because the updates aren't that often. Also slim team releases gapps quite frequently so in the past one never has to wait long for updates. Also the official play store (from androidpolice.com etc) have worked just fine for me all these days, it's only recently that I started using slim gapps because I felt like :p

Text to speech

[MENTION=4148153]TJKV[/MENTION]

Sorry if this is rubbish...

Your final ROM includes PicoTts.apk but there is no /system/tts/lang_pico/

Does it work this way?
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
I am assuming it does, otherwise slimroms guys wouldn't have configured their roms to include picotts.apk but exclude lang_pico ;)
[Defy Android Development] adyo13:

[Defy Android Development] adyo13:
Very stable and full of features rom, but a lot slower than CM (and I hate CM..with its big buttons and stuff :P). Do I need to overclock it ?
[Defy Android Development] NeoPreacher:
is the last build of slimbeam 4.3 already the final? i´ve got no probs with the latest build and its the snappiest rom i´ve ever tried ( and i tried them all more than once ). really kicks my defy´s ass man. also wondered bout the antutu results. got around 1500 points in the 3d section, never recognized such before. just like to know if there´s hope for another suprising build!? :fingers-crossed: . I tried some tweaks but doesn´t matter which one i used they all are more or less pulling the breaks in your rom. it´s simply great as it is :good::good:
[Defy Android Development] TJKV:
There is no new code to add to 4.3, so if someone compiles it now it will be the same as the final build except with a new build date. Personally I found Slimkat to be better at memory management, and system_server doesn't get bloated with time. So even though I have been uploading slimkat (4.4.2), I was planning to use 4.3 myself for a while longer. But I have switched to my slimkat builds after noticing this. Don't ask or tell me about benchmarks though, I don't care :p
