The apps inside gapps package seem to be pretty old... I guess its whatever the slim roms team has?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
You might be able to find a different gapps to install that is newer.
[Galaxy S II General] Arodg25:
I'm likening it so far. much smoother for me than dadoes. I've had no real probblems. anything I've had has been fixed by an uninstall and reinstall of an .apk. so far best ROM I've used for this phone.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
just had a reboot when pulling down notification drawer.... was in the middle of restoring apps from play store
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Question - is there a way to get the CM10 alarm tones and ringtones (and all notification sounds for that matter) onto this rom?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Copy the content of /system/media from dadoes zip and use adb to push it to your media folder or use root browser to copy it over.

I could make a flash able zip for you when I get home maybe. I'd love to see tf keep the ROM slim.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Cool thanks... follow up question - is there an app which can extract files/folders from zip archives? I have dadoes rom zip file on the phone already.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I suggest zarchiver
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
TF, would you be able to modify the config.XML at build to allow more than 3000 levels for the automatic backlight settings? I think our sensor supports up to 16000 lumens.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
I have FX file manager and turns out, it can extract from zip archives too :)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'm really in love with this ROM! I wish I had the time to work on a new kernel. Are you planning on making a custom kernel at all titanic fanatic?
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Is there a bandwidth tracking feature like in dadoes rom...or an app?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
No, there isn't. You could use an app like 3g watchdog though. If I can find the relevant code, I can merge it with the build.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I used this as some practice for cm10.1, so probably not right away. I also built aokp successfully. I was investigating the differences in our device tree when used with other branches of cm10. Now that I'm confident with my building skills, I'm pretty sure it's libs that are causing me grief with cm10.1, actually, I'm certain of it. I just need to figure out which libs are the cause, and of that I'm certain it's these new adreno drivers.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I'll add this into the next build. Maybe a monthly build, unless you guys want to flash more frequently.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I can add these too.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
There's supposedly a way to invert the gapps in this rom, and it's accomplished by hacking the gapps, so it's specific to slim. If you do not plan on inverting the gapps, you can update the apps.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I need someone to test to see if they can receive picture messaging. I cannot!

Aokp would be a nice build as well!
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Monthly build is fine with me
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
H'm, I can't seem to either. The bell flex apn didn't have mms setting so I added those, but still didn't work. Not sire why but I can send them fine
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I had installed slim bean on a friends HTC evo 3d and this was an issue for him as well. I forget which version, but I think it was same. It was earlier this year. Maybe there is a fix or its a known issue. I havnt looked into it.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Well guys, it seems there is a bug in the way that group SMS is handled and that was causing MMS to not download.

I have fixed the issue with a patch to the framework. I'll upload it in a bit. I ace to make a flashable zip out of it ;)
[Galaxy S II General] microcontroleur:
JB 4.3

Titanic_fanatic, is it your plan to bring our phone to JB 4.3 works with this ROM?

I've seen on SlimBean website that SlimBean.4.3.build.beta.3 is available and close to stable release.

Btw, once again, great work!!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yes, this will be possible as soon as I can figure out cm10.1. Getting closer ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Fix for MMS SlimBean JB 4.1.2 build 20138024-0545

Hey guys,

So here is the fix for MMS... One of the variables was returning a null value and was causing the pdu service to fail with a NullPointerException. I fixed it by returning a blank value instead of null. Works perfectly so far. Let me know if you notice any side effects of this fix (there should be none) ;)

Slim-3.1.0-i757m-20130824-0545-UNOFFICIAL-MMS-FIX.zip (9MB)
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
Flashing rukusx7's RKS-CustomLightSensorLevels-SGH-I757m-v7.zip in CWM causes the phone to stick in the boot animation.... I had to do a clean install. Has anyone else had this problem? Is there any way to fix it?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I think it only replaces framework files. If that's the case, you need only replace these files with their originals out of the ROM zip. I'll implement the light settings for next release ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Turns out my light level settings zips are ROM specific and are obsolete. Do not flash.

---------- Post added at 09:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 AM ----------

Yeah. Insert v7 into the ROM by default perhaps? Then users could still adjust to their liking if we can go above 3000 levels too.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:34 AM ----------

Also. Two reboots today in 4hours
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Do you happen to have your modified XML file from which I can work from? Or even just the zip as it's no longer in your repo.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
No. I don't have it with me up north. I'm at work right now. It might be unpublished on my dev host. I can look tonight or upload it when I get home tomorrow. Or maybe someone who has it could upload a copy.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
If I install Nova Launcher (or any other launcher), can I remove the Holo Launcher that's part of the slim rom? Is it even possible to uninstall it? Will that break anything?
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
It shouldn't break anything. I'm using Nova prime now (tsf was too damn laggy) and I have holo, amungst other things, uninstalled and everything's fine so far.

Also, I can't seem do download the mms fix or any of the mirrors...keeps saying "in progress" "unsuccessful" not sure if its on my end or the server...?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Just tried the mms fix link and it's working for me, can you try again. I'll attach to the thread if your still having problems ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Random Reboots & Updates

Hey guys, next time you experience a random reboot, please do the following:

1) Open a root file explorer

2) Browse to /data/tombstones

3) Copy all tombstone files (not directories) to a spot on your sdcard

4) Zip them up

5) Attach them here

These tombstone files give an insight into what may have caused the reboot.

On another note, I will be doing another build very shortly to include the fixes and updates already discussed.

1) Fix MMS

2) Fix lockscreen weather widget

3) Add CM10 ringtones and wallpapers

4) Add rukusx7's custom light settings (still need the zip please)

Anything else before I start up the build?
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
I have the zip from rukusx7 - how do I get it to you?
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
The mobile data monitor as an addition?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
You should be able to attach it the the thread :) Or you can send it to titanic.fanatic.xda@gmail.com
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Added to the list ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I'm okay with a monthly build. This is amazing. Heres my tombstones

[URL=http://d-h.st/bFI]rukustombstones.zip - 6.64 KB[/URL]
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
Sorry for the delay, here is the framework
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
How do i attach a file ie my tombstone?
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I don't know how to from the app, so I just upload mine to my dev host.
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
Here are my tombstones as well. I had two reboots within 5 minutes of each other last night.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Not sure what I've done while others are saying their battery is good, but mine is brutal. And I'm at work with very light use. I wanted to make sure it wasnt a fluke, but its been like this for the past 2 days since flashing.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Have you checked for rogue wakelocks? If so, who are the culprits?
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
I concur... battery life on my phone is poor as well
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Ooooooooooo wakelock detector tells me its Facebook and maps mainly. And I recall you saying facebook is a nasty one for those sort of things. My bad, that sorta makes my complaint invalid hahaha. Thanks though.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Get Greenify from playstore to hibernate your apps! Best battery saving app while your screen is off. Screen off Standby time is amazing.
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
This is more of an appearance thing.... but the OP says this ROM incorporates elements from AOKP & PA.... does that mean we could ever have those big block notification toggles? As opposed to the little white toggles.
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Had a reboot just now while composing email in gmail app

zipped with ES File Manager
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
There is the option to hide your toggles. With that, you can download a custom toggle app from play store if you like. I don't know much more of it After that. As in battery life of having another app running for what ROM already does. Just another option for you
[Galaxy S II General] neptune_:
Had another reboot, this time while playing Dots. However the time stamp on tombstone files hasn't changed. Is that normal?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
The tombstones are used for debugging jni code which is native c code. A random reboot may or may not be caused by native code. If the timestamp didn't change, I would say that this reboot wasn't caused at the jni level. I have my logcat running constantly right now waiting for my next reboot at which time I'll be comparing the contents of all of your tombstones and the logcat to track down the cause.
[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Decided to try this out after being on the stock jb update from Samsung. This is probably the smoothest one I've used on this phone. Reminds me of the old cm9. Gmail, SMS, phone, GPS, music, Facebook, camera and gallery all working smoothly. YouTube still has the overlay issue but that's something I can live with by turning off the overlays.

Only problem I've experienced so far is using instagram. Whenever I click on the "Following" tab the app closes without any fc message. Just straight back to the ROM homepage. I tried rolling it back a few versions and the result was the same. Its only crashing when I click that tab. Everything else works. I'm coming up on a full battery drain, really liking this ROM. Anything I can do to assist please let me know!
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Just test and report! No one is currently working on a custom kernel.
[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Forgot to mention BLN is not working for me either. Tried disabling/enabling , rebooting etc.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Bln is currently only working for notifications. It does not turn on when you turn on your screen.

Is it not working for your notifications?
[Galaxy S II General] m54:
Yea. When I receive a text message the lights do not light up.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Do you know how to pull a logcat? If so, can you please pull one for me after you should have received a bln notification.

Please note that the $ denotes each line of commands and should not be typed.

This will place a file called bln-logcat.txt at the root of your internal sdcard. Please post that here.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
So, regarding battery life. Wakelock detector says that the phone never goes to deep sleep and is telling me its 'android system' that's causing this with over 300 wake ups. I've used greenify to hibernate virtually every app that's running in the background, bit the battery life is still a let down. Unfortunately battery is very important to me. I may need to go back to dadoes (as much as I love this rom) strictly for the battery. I do love this rom though.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
This seems to be related to the kernel config. I used dsixda's defconfig, but really want to have a look at Strange's config. The kernel config is also to blame for the disappearance of the data usage. In my reading, I read that this for some reason causes battery drain which is why I've asked for anyone to pull me a kernel config file from dadoes ROM (I'm away from my comp right now and can't pull it myself).

If you go back to dadoes, read my post on how to pull the config file and post it please ;)
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
Jumping back and forth between nandroid backups right now, I'll edit this post with the config file in a few minutes.

EDIT: Here's the config file.
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Earlier this evening I had an odd thing happen. When I pulled down thw nnotification bar I got a very intense strobe effect between my home screen and notification bar backgrounds. When I switched to the home screen the corners were giving the same effect. Once I got fed up a reboot fixed it. If I can male it happen again will a logcat show anything related to display? If so ill post one. Thanks guys!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yes please, I'll have a look to see what I can find :)
[Galaxy S II General] Tronith:
Hello. So this is the second time that I was in the middle of a call and my phone reset on me. As well while using Firefox it will freeze and restart over again. This is becoming a big problem. Would a log cat show any of this?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yes, a logcat should show what's happening, the problem is that logcat is cleared on reboot so the logcat has to be writing to your sdcard as the reboot occurs which is the tough part. I'm constantly running my logcat for this reason.

On another note, I'm running a new build right now and this one uses the defconfig from strange. I'm pretty confident that this will fix a couple of things, like maybe the random reboots which I read somewhere has to do with the data usage modules not being enabled.

If your able to get that logcat though, I'll definitely take a look ;)
[Galaxy S II General] FuryriderX:
Looking forward to it! I'm getting random reboots too, most often after i've gotten multiple notifications while the screen is off. It just wont come back on and must be reset via holding power to fix. The missing data usage is a bit of a bummer too...but no matter, the phone is running better than it ever has and i'm loving it.

Side point, no issues sending/receiving pic messages here (i'm using the inet apn, not the flex one) but still no voicemail notification. What is the reason for the no voicemail notification? Is it known?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
We have unfortunately not figured out the voicemail notifications since ics. I'll see what u can find out thigh as I haven't looked into it yet.

On another note, New build is done. I've been running it for a couple of hours no reboots. Weather works, data usage works, mms works (may have broken group messaging feature implemented in slimbean)

I'll upload it later after I've tested it done more.
[Galaxy S II General] FuryriderX:
Hmm. I did replace the mms.apk in slimbean with the mms.apk in the latest dadoes' rom because the slimbean one was missing the 'read' quick action on the expanded notification. Maybe thats why mms worked for me? Just a thought...
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
That's exactly why mms worked for you ;) the offending code was not present in the mms.apk you used!
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
Slim Bean is really living up to it's name.... I've never downloaded a ROM that was smaller than the Gapps package.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
New Build Up

Alright guys,

The new build is up:

Download

Check the change log in the OP for all changes made.

Battery is still not stellar, so make sure you install Rescan Media from the market to turn off the media scanner after it has had a chance to scan everything for the first time. You should only need to run media scanner again if you add pictures, video or audio to your sdcard.

A .nomedia file has been placed in the system dir in order to prevent the media scanner from scanning the system partition as it's just simply un-necessary and only consumes battery and also costs performance.

I strongly recommend that you set the Governor to "On Demand" and the I/O Schduler to "Deadline". This has provided me with the smoothest operation of the phone.

init.d just won't fricken work... AHHHHHHH!!! Until I resolve this, just use Universal init.d from the market.

rukusx7's light settings have also been implemented and look great.

Have fun and Enjoy!!!
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
Just flashed and have been running for an hour or so. Everything's great! While restoring a few things with titanium I did have Nova launcher cycle thru FC's but a quick reboot did the trick. I do have a question. Will the script you made, TF, for the YouTube overlays on dadoes rom work for this rom? I tried on the last build bit it took no effect. Thanks for the mention by the way! Great work!
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Yes, it does work for this build. Only thing is, init.d doesn't work, so we need to use Universal init.d from the market to carry out this task on boot ;)

You said it didn't work for you, is that because you thought init.d was working out did you already have universal init.d installed and it didn't work? If it's the latter, open the script file in a text editor and make sure it starts with #! and not some sort of html. I ran into the same issue when I had to download a copy and it downloaded with all sorts of html inside which screwed up his the script is supposed to run and it crashed silently.
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
Installing the first time worked out fine, but it got stuck booting after a few reboots. I wiped and did another clean install, and this time it wouldn't stop rebooting halfway through downloading all my regular apps. Anything that might be causing this?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Sounds maybe like a bad flash :-/ I sometimes flash twice before booting although I haven't had to do that with this one yet.

Did you flash the new gapps or the old one? Either should work, but curious none the less.
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
It was the new Gapps. I didn't format /data, /system or /cache, I'll try that and see if it works.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
That could be it. If you dirty flash, you should always clear your dalvik cache and also fix permissions, but nothing beats a clean flash ;)
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
So, I checked the script. It does still begin with #! And looks normal, and on the previous build I was using univeral init.d, and it didn't work. Tried again on this build and developer options were turned on, bit the disable hardware overlays wasnt ticked.
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
Hmmm, can you try the following:

1) open a shell

2) type the following

$ su
$ chown root:shell /system/etc/init.d
$ chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d

NOTE: If you see a smiley in the code above, it's a : followed by an s ;)

This just changes permissions and ownership of the file. Now run the script right from the shell:

$ /system/etc/init.d/91fixoverlays

The result should be:

Result: Parcel(NULL)

Check if that applied the changes. If so, then great if not then we'll have to figure out why it didn't work. I would send you a script to run that would output something more than null ;)
[Galaxy S II General] formercontra:
Reporting back to say I reflashed after formatting system, data and cache... restored all the apps & everything's working great so far!
[Galaxy S II General] bijon440:
After running that a few times in terminal my results are permission denied everytime...hm
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
When you type *#*#4636#*#* into the dialer and access phone information, you have the option to choose your preferred network type. LTE is not listed as an option. The inverse issue is when I choose LTE preferred in mobile network settings then input *#*#4636#*# then access phone information, I get a force close.

Is LTE working properly for anyone? I thought it had been working on the blast build but I may be mistaken. I do remember having issues with connectivity and the force close issue I mentioned earlier. Can anyone look in and verify for me?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
So, I had the same thing happen when I tried. A force close. I looked into it and the force close is due to the list items not being fully specified in the RadioInfo.java file of the Settings.apk. The list was missing all LTE items, so when LTE was selected under mobile networks and you tried to access the testing menu, it tried to set the list to an item that didn't exist in the list (as it was not defined) and thus the force close.

I have fixed this and it should no longer force close. Just download the Settings.apk somewhere on your sdcard like /sdcard/slimupdate then run the following commands from a terminal not typing the $ of course:

Then your settings should no longer force close if you have LTE selected.

On the matter of are we getting LTE, I say yes and no. It appears that we are on an LTE network since that is what is detected and I can see that when it cycles through the networks while in Settings -> About Phone -> Status. That being said, running a speed test dictates otherwise. My speeds on lte are on average about 4Mbps while 3G is more like 2Mbps. That's not right, we should be getting like 15Mbps I think (I'll have to double check that). I'm not sure if it's a kernel module that needs to be enabled or binaries that need to be replaced, but I'm open to suggestion for this one.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Where do I download from?
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
This new app has some flaws, like why can I only attach pictures... Well, here you go ;)
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I see that I made a mistake in the commands I told you to run... Sorry aobout that, try these instead:

$ su
$ chown root:root /system/etc/init.d
$ chown root:shell /system/etc/init.d/91fixoverlays
$ chmod 0755 /system/etc/init.d/91fixoverlays
$ /system/etc/init.d/91fixoverlays

Notice how in my previous post I didn't include the "91fixoverlays" in the chown/chmod commands, that means that you didn't set the perms for the script, but the directory in which it resides (this is ok the first chown in my above code fixes my boo boo). The code above will do what we want and set the correct permissions, then the script should work for you. The above should output the same as I described in my last post, NULL, but this time the developer options should be set as required ;)

Sorry for making you type in so much code... I'll most likely include this with the rom in the next build so I can manage setting the permissions in the setup ;)
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
I noticed I now have the lte option. Not sure if actually working tho....
[Galaxy S II General] titanic_fanatic:
I definitely agree... if you go to Settings -> About Phone -> Status you'll notice that the LTE network is indeed connected while the 4G symbol is displayed, but speeds do not match that of an LTE connection :( Any idea why, was it the same on dadoes, I can't remember.

I can't find anything about kernel configuration affecting this, maybe it's the libs. I'll see what I can find.
[Galaxy S II General] RukusX7:
Took a bit to settle in.... 11mbps on lte . I'm about 500 metres to 1km from a tower in a condo building.
