slim or not to slim, that is the question

Is there there any difference in stability slim vs normal? and is there any prerformance difference comparing those 2? Storage is no issue for me.

I had 1 random freeze after waking up phone (sport tracker only app installed at this point and it was running on backgroud). Flashed: fullwipe, philz recovery, v. 6 slim, mj5 modem. Had to remove battery. Also had 1 random reboot after alarmclock "tried" to wake me up :).

Downloading rom again atm and making a new flash later today (in case of bad download). I like the slim idea but stabily before everything.

Sorry for the bad english :p

I like faux kernel with this rom but its missing 3 apps (faux123 kernel enhancement pro, fauxsound audio/sound control, speaker loudness & amp control) from play store, do i have to buy them or can they provided in the rom kitchen? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] grac:
Perfect and stable ROM :) but Downloads doesn't work in Echoe Rom section :/

Thx for perfect work :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Emmertje:
+1 !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
We have stated it over 30+ times now probably.. The downloads section DOES NOT WORK as of now, but WILL BE FIXED at some point. No ETA. We will upload all the downloadables to our own website under the kitchen section. It is really easy to navigate with your phones as well.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
My friend (ooops sorry!!!) if im not mistaken they are paid apps... So we cannot ethically and legally probably put the in the Rom...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Laurentiu27:
theme

[MENTION=4401403]friedrich420[/MENTION] there will be other colors theme like blue or something else?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
The theme was not made by friedrich420, but by the one and only [MENTION=2887540]Rixsta[/MENTION]. You would have to ask him, even though I think it won't happen.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Laurentiu27:
thank you!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diddsen:
hmm, download don't work.

tested with dolphin and boat... nothing happens push download button :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] chavdar:
Thanks for the reply, but the problem is occuring with the 2.3.1 version of the xposed installer. I already updated

Sent from the GT-I9505 Galaxy
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iron@ss:
Thanks friedrich420 for listening! :good:

v6, Slim, unthemed and without the extra built-in apps/kitchen is so much better for me as I prefer, as hawkerpaul mentioned, to have my apps in the app drawer and allow them to update from Play Store. I like K.I.S.S.... Keep It Simple Stupid. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
Noticed the same myself after you said it.. it has something to do with the mobile site not working correctly i assume.

EDIT: Found the issue! The mobile site "mobilized" the download link as well and that's why it didn't work.. I edited it the way that the link doesn't get mobilized, and now it should work perfect with our mobile site as well!! :)

Could you try if it works now?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tschulieh:
Glad you enjoy my SLIM version. I was a bit afraid, to delete the kitchen, but I think finally it was a good decision.

I like your K.I.S.S ;)

Thank so much for all your work with the Slim version of this amazing ROM!!!

I really feel that your work should be more appreciated, so here is my attempt to do that:

Have a nice day and keep up your good work! :highfive:

You might need the VpnDialogs.apk here https://mega.co.nz/#!MpFGXYAJ!ckzzJFK4o8Ht2AftY3PCMUlQrfJgcAishdNR2yHW0jY

Use a root explorer and copy/paste to system/app and then reboot. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iron@ss:
In that case, my thanks go to you as well tschulieh! Keep up the good work... it is appreciated. :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tschulieh:
THANK YOU SO MUCH my dear adl.

My 1st donation, that is so cool. Thank you so much also for you kind words and your support.

Enjoy your SLIM Version my friend :highfive:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] diddsen:
ok, switching to desktop mode helps.

but should be optimised to mobile ;)

installed but after there xposed framework must be reinstalled too ... now working :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:
sorry if i bother you.. but i would like to know if it's normal that on your site is not possible to download the theme jooode... thanks in advance...

and btw the v6 no kitchen is a beauty :) !!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
As i added in my post, I optimized it to work with mobile site now as well! So give it a go and let me know if it works ;) It did work on mobile site for me now. Just press the Download-link and the file will be downloaded immediately! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
It's themed .... Otherwise, a little research into the OP. ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] xionation:
V.6 is unreal, i have much better battery life than V5+ and i havent had it crash yet! great job, looking forward to new releases!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
your website, custom apps, and anything else like that are all yours to theme and grandiose all you want.

we just like your delicious roms looking like stock and running clean, as a starting point ;)

decided to move to the slim rom for my next reinstall, figure it might help with battery life (and you guys are nice enough to have downloads for all the removed stuff, in case i need anything)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tschulieh:
AH NO, EchoeSLIM V6 is unthemed.

I'm just uploading EchoeIllusionSLIMV6 now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
is there a reason why you went a kernel that requires paid apps to work correctly?

it seems a step backwards from the previous ones, where we had full control via free apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] tschulieh:
Cause it is atm the only kernel where WIFI works without the WIFI trick. And it's always better not to use too many workarounds. ;)

Use trickster if you wanna tweak :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Actually theres is... faux was the only kernel at the time of creation of v6 that didnt require the wifi trick...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
thats a good enough reason.

what are the downsides to that wifi trick, if you dont mind me asking?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Tbh I havent noticed any but it makes sure that any potential wifi/ connection problems will not occur... plus its better for my OCD ;) You can control it with free apps my friend (ooops sorry!!!). And even with cpuspy that u have in the EchoeSettings... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kasakka:
It's very nice that there are useful apps included, but they should definitely be user apps so they can be easily updated or replaced (for example if you prefer Light Flow to Light Manager). I think the main issue is being able to either remove them or update them, which is not possible right now as the update option in Play Store simply gives an error.

Having a pack of them that you can install to user space wouldn't be a bad idea as it would also cut down on the download size slightly. Of course, that probably means you can't have precustomized settings...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] franzyroy:
Yet this is what has me been said !
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
CPU-spy and the other one had the names backwards, btw. confused me a fair bit at first - find they have a lot less control than Ktweaker and such too, but i'm really only concerned with good battery life. if it works well at stock, no need for tweaks. (will find that out after i format and go to slim tonight - kept bloating the phone with tweaks and mods and need to start fresh)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
thats the flashaholic's excuse to flash more ;) just kidding ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
MJ6 is now up, and unlike MJ7, it has a higher changelist than MJ5 (1882437)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
they cant just let me catch up, can they?

will my phone ever keep a rom/kernel for 48 hours? stay tuned for next weeks exciting episode!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
i can guarrantee you one thing: there is not going to be an update this weekend....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
you are right... its a win-lose situation but im thinking for next updates to just have any extras and addons on the website and maybe remove the echoe settings...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
that does give you the maximum compatibility and stability with your rom on a fresh install, so its probably for the best.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
You're slacking Friedrich! Must try harder!

:D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
i just read friedrichs name as fried rice.

cant unsee it now. (sorry, friend-rice XD)

(yay slim has downloaded - i had 0 bytes free on internal and 20MB free on external, i gotta stop leaving all these roms and kernels on the phone itself)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
lol :D

YOU ARE NOT MY FRIEND!!! :D

hahahahaha :D

Seriously though now my not friend ;)

If it was just the update of the base i could have it out by tomorrow...

Its the modding of all the apk's from the beginning thats making me have a panic attack :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
Fried Rice, Fried Brain, Fried "charlatane and phony psychologist" :D

Everything goes with Fried ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
fried friend with extra rice?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
hahahahahaha :D see?? :P
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
so i have to ask about the new faux123 kernel:

what does the faux say?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
I have to say im very SATISFIED with it!

I left it as is though.. with its default settings....
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
not sure if you got the joke, viral (semi-terrible) youtube video 'what does the fox say'.

just wasting time waiting on my phone to empty so i can get some slim goodness on there. i'll stop with off-topic stuff now, apologies to all friends and dudes and dudettes and friendettes and friedettes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
No i didnt :(

Very slow today ;) (i mean my brain's Ram and Processor Speed)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] nitramcek:
If I flash new slim rom I'll lose home and center clock with screen lock function. How can I get them back? I really like it. Any flashable zip in kicked?

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
If you go into our website http://echoerom.com and into Echoe Kitchen section for S4, you can find and download the mods from there (center clock with and without home, right clock with and without home). They are flashable zips :)

anyone know how to remove the green house icon at the left side of the status bar?

In the stock v6 full version as seen in the OP
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
Could you read and/or use the search? You are not the first one to ask about it. Download my battery mod or stock systemui.. you can find it in both OP and the website http://echoerom.com
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kasakka:
I actually do like the settings menu (though it should probably be under "More..." rather than device) as it has easy access to ROM-specific or modded features. If possible, it would be nice to be able to add that + the extra apps as a flashable zip. Of course, that is more stuff to maintain and keep up to date so might not be worth it overall...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
theres a flashable zip, mentioned a dozen times. slim version doesnt have it.

now that i'm on slim without kitchen:

feels just like stock, loving it. less stock apps = better battery too.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mr.Yawnie:
Added a poll to our website on the right side of the pages. Not on the home page though. Please go there and give your vote!!

Question of the day is:

Should we open an Echoe Forum to our website as well, or just stick with XDA only? Or maybe run both? Give your opinions here and remember to vote in the poll as well!!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
i am 100% of people

i vote xda - i never would have found the rom without XDA, and we end up linking back and forth between the two anyway.

your website is great for hosting the files and mods, while xda is great for hosting everything else android - why take your rom away from here, when the kernels you use, and the tweaks we use are all based here anyway?

as a moderator of a fairly large forum, i can say this: either this thread, or your forum will end up ignored and the other preferred. you'll just waste your own time fighting spambots and answering the same questions 20x over in 50 different places (people asking for support on your downloads page, etc), where a single thread here suffices. fragmentation is never good.

edit: a bunch of FAQ's and how-to guides would be great on your website instead.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Wuby986:

I'm right there with you. Some of the team members wanted to give it a try so I decided to ask you guys about it before making it happen. It would be too drastic change I think. Just my opinion .

They are coming (i mean the guides and more FAQ) and all your suggestions are brilliant and very helpful :)

I think in a weeks maximum time the website will have everything we are planning on adding:)

Keep throwing your suggestions out though :good:

I had an idea of creating a "Useful Links" section there and link you to important android related stuff...

btw i didnt vote (b/c it would be stupid) but i agree with the voters so far...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] friedrich420:
No my friend :)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] superbegita:
I have found the solution if in your browser options you maybe had a option called User Agent.On Opera mobile it s the case.

Choose Computer rather mobile and the links will be ok.For the picture i have seen that they appears now even on the webskte mobile version.

But you shouldn't have some problems i think.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Mussels84:
i've just downloaded that and installed it problem free. try another download program/none at all (i used free download manager aka FDM.)

lite version of the rom is much better on my battery - its been unplugged for 15 minutes and hasnt dropped even 1% yet.

i'll update with proper results in the morning (8 hours of idle should do it), but for now its my recommendation for sure.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] go0gl3:
Yeh wouldn't have thought download manager choice would've affected downloads. I've got 99.39 and 99.24% so far and fails to resume :(

What is that "kitchen" from viruslaura about?

I never find it in OP and echoerom website! :(

TureIcons pack from keygenSVK is not written for 4.3, but I want the world globe back when I make a phonecall.

Did anyone know how tho set a background image for the phonecall surface?

BTW: The BLOATWARE List have become a huge update, take a look inside if you want to personally debloat your ROM ! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] m8980:

Which slim version is themed with this nice illusion theme?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] superbegita:
Yo ! So for respond to you you should maybe try anlther link? I make my download with Opera mobile and never had some troubles with.

However they take a little for beginning sometimes.step 7mo by 7mo each time.Try again or use a downloader make for

But it s strange unless you have some problems with your internet it should be fine..

The Full version is thèmed nlt the SLIM version.I am on the Slim and wait for a flashable zip or something like that.In wlrse case you will be able always to flash it after as you like.

Yo fellow Echoenians, loving v6. Just trying Ausdims v 11 4.3 kernal and have to say I think this ROM performs a little better with it. Much smoother when scrolling. Not sure about battery yet but I'm not to bothered, I'm always near a charger. Had to flash the wifi fix also.
