Unless your ISP is Traffic Shaping your connection in such a way some or all of Speedtest's servers are misrepresenting your actual speed either for much better (trying to look better when your connection is crappy) or for much worse (if Speedtest is seen as a bandwidth hog), in which case the measurements are utterly meaningless.

I've actually been on both sides of that TS. Simultaneously. One particular server was given max priority in the network (the one on the ISP's network), all the other national ones were on "normal priority" (so, "iffy" would be a generous way of describing the results), and international ones were "best effort" at best (results were atrocious). And, at the same time, I had my connection severely limited on some aspects, but not others (downloads ran at 60KBps max, Twitch was a no-go, but YouTube was mostly wide open, and such oddities), to seem like my connection was functioning perfectly, when it clearly wasn't. Worst ISP I've had, ever, got rid of it after only 2 months,

So, yeah, Speedtest is not that reliable, especially because pretty much every ISP out there will apply some sort of TS on all their connections.

OK, this was completely OT, so sorry everyone. Back to lurking now.

I was using a different VMWare Player version, we are now in sync.

I followed the steps you posted here and came to:

repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b jb4.3

That ended in the following:

error: could not verify the tag '1.12.7'

I'm stuck again :crying:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
I don't know what causes this, but going back in my command prompt history, I found this:

$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo

$ chmod a+x ~/bin/repo

Try it...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
Thanks, that did the trick, now doing a repo sync :good:

Edit: sync it's finished, 25 GB of data downloaded. It's now to late to start building, Will be continued :)

I'm having issues with Titanium Backup although I tried to follow the mini-faq in the first post.

When I try to change my backup folder from /storage/emulated/legacy/TitaniumBackup to /storage/emulated/legacy/ I just can't. If I go up one directory ( to legacy ) the button to set the directory as backup folder isn't enabled... :(
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
After the latest two TB updates there is no more need to change the folder in TB. Install TB from play store and use it.

The faq in the op is not up to date , we wait for a answer from the op if I can take over the thread. I have send now the request to blk and slim team again and hope for a quick answer.

Compiled my first Rom today :D

Everything looks great, one thing. The size of the zip is larger than the released version 156MB vs 119 MB.

The difference is mainly in the app folder, there are 73 files in mine while in the released Rom there are only 61. Any idea where those extra apk's come from?

I haven't flashed yet.

EDIT: did a repo sync today before building the Rom
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
Congratulations! :D

Mine are 156 mb too. I don't know where these extra mb are coming from.

I guess it is debug stuff.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
OK, thanks for all your help, like you said once setup it isn't difficult. You only need a lot off diskspace (~55GB) and something to do while waiting for the build to complete :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Kondra007:
So, if I understand you right, I need to create VirtualBox hard drive with at least 70gb free space?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
If you are using DevDistro, everything is already set up. While you are building, the virtual hard drive will grow in the process.

For Jelly Bean you need about 60 gb, for KitKat 100 gb!

Tylog, could You ask dev-team, do they want start a new thread named (for example) "SlimBean for i9505 - Unofficial Builds" to publish such latest ideas packed into nightly builds?

I own S2 (i9100) and now S4 (i9505), and there is latest (nightly) build on my S2 from thread below (fusionjack do sync to SlimBean git hub then sync his own fixes/patches to official SlimBean and compile using linaro/toolchain for best performance/battery)

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Tylog:
At the moment the team is very busy with the work on 4.4 , and sorting new team members, this is one of the reason why the last 4.3 build takes so long time.

I speak with two team member about this thread here and the I9505 Maintainer and the plan I will do this job ( thread/maintainer ) , at the moment they talk about it.

I have myself a few ideas and plans but I will wait for the official go. For now I have to wait myself but if anybody want to make a unofficial thread/rom I see no problem.

I do my best to support fast as I can and bring informations and I hope I can bring in the future a few of my ideas to the rom and to the XDA Thread/Community :)

I love slimrom , I love this thread, I really like the community in this thread , very great , friendly and nice guys here and I hope I can do more here in the future for all guys.

I did some further reading and I now use these commands to compile the Rom and it gives me an almost same size as released "119MB" zip.

$ mkdir Slimrom

$ cd Slimrom

$ repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b jb4.3

$ repo sync

$ . build/envsetup.sh

$ lunch slim_jfltexx-userdebug

$ make -j4 bacon
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
I'm only using "make - j2", since I spent my VMware only 2 cores. ;)

I saw the "bacon" switch, but I forgot to use it.

There are new commits for 4.3, so I will do a new build today.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
For everyone who wants to give compiling Slim from source a go I made a short HowTo based on my experience during the last few days.

Please remember I was a complete novice when starting this a few days ago, no Linux experience and I never compiled a Rom in my life.

First I want to thank [MENTION=4305273]harise100[/MENTION] for guiding me through the process, without his backing I probably wouldn't have started this adventure :highfive: and also [MENTION=4354408]broodplank1337[/MENTION] for the easy to use DevDistro.

Download the “[VM]DevDistro 14 x64” from here, use the torrent in post#1

Download and install VMPlayer 6.0.1 from here

(for me a reboot was needed to get internet working in the DevDistro)

Make a folder, name it whatever you want, and copy the unzipped DevDistro there. You will need at least between 50 and 100GB so make sure to select a disk that has at least 100GB to spare.

Start VMPlayer and open the DevDistro file copied in the previous step (my VMPlayer settings are 2GB memory, 2 cores and 200GB hard disk the rest is default)

When everything is loaded first install VMWare Tools using the shortcut on the DevDistro desktop (this will make things much simplere later on because it will alow you to copy files and command between VMWare and Windows)

Open the Terminal on the DevDistro desktop

Execute the following commands:

$ curl http://commondatastorage.googleapis.com/git-repo-downloads/repo > ~/bin/repo
$ chmod +x ~/bin/repo

Now the real fun begins, while still in Terminal execute the following commands:

$ mkdir Slimrom
$ cd Slimrom
$ repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b jb4.3
$ repo sync
$ . build/envsetup.sh
$ lunch slim_jfltexx-userdebug
$ make –j2 bacon

(*1) If you want to compile for an other phone type only use the "lunch" command and it will give you a list of all the possible platforms you can build for.

(*2) -j2 tells to use 2 cores, rule of thumb is to use one more than you have cores to get the best performance. One core -> -j2, Two cores -> -j3...

If everything goes well, you can find your home cooked Rom.zip in:

dev’s Home>Slimrom>out>target>product>jtltexx

Please be patient, the first run will take some time. Depending on your internet speed and machine power. On my Core I7 PC and 150 Mb/s internet connection it took about half a day before everything was finished.

The only thing left is to flash your own cooked Rom and enjoy the proud feeling of seeing it boot :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hisname:
just a heads up, make -j* bacon should be the amount of your cores of your computer +1. it isn't limited to 2
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] harise100:
DevDistro came with 1 cpu enabled. To use more cores, you have to edit the VMware configuration.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] hisname:
yea, well. advanced users will know how to do that :rolleyes::D

I did attempted to compile omni rom(4.4)before but the kernel couldn't boot and I gave up for a few days as I was wiping my device every few hours just to test the rom

Is there a way to take a screenshot without using the voice under the submenu of the power button?

Also, how is it supposed to work the "hours of silence" thing that can found inside the audio settings voice? After I set up the range of hours during which I want my phone to be silenced, notifications still produce sounds during that period.. I tried sending to my phone a watsapp message but still there's sound...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
You can make a screenshot with pwr/vol down.

Second question I can't answer, I never used that function. I use Tasker to mute my phone at night.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] CallumMarks77:
i dont like the small default dpi that slim bean has though :|, and when ever i change it in build prop or with the inbuilt dpi changer i always end up with issues :|
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FlanjeUK:
Are you running Slim now? If so at what DPI?

EDIT: I see Carbon in your sig

for the record I had no issues changing to 320 DPI it works fine if you follow all the steps
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] kantjer:
I have my dpi set to 450 in settings-interface and it's running without any problems. And a big plus is that it survives a Rom flash so no need to edit the build prop every time.

"make bacon" does the trick. My build has shrunken from 156mb to 119mb.

Did anybody flash the new official 2.2 from the Slim homepage? According to the changelog, the last change was on 15.11.2013, so it should be the same as our unofficial builds...

My own build is actually better, because the german translation is fixed. ;) :p
