I really really do wish that someone should consider the "inline/invoice call recording" like seen in "January 28: New Version Slim ION Honami Cyanogen Way UB/LB" by [MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION] [MENTION=4329876]Olivier[/MENTION] did you yet find anything for it ? Anyone else found anything ? Even a 3rd party app ? Dont you guys love to hear voice of your loved ones once you are away and cannot call them ? Or to record when they sing for you ? :(

Am still trying 3rd party apps but none of it got the inline feature..only everything got loudspeaker record only

I tried that but still not working . I even tried to move SEMCPHONE.APK into system/app with correct permissions but it didint workout
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
I think I found it..inline or invoice call recording seen in .96 firmware version. That might help the developers
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
Try Call Recorder: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=polis.app.callrecorder

Once you find the right settings for your phone it will record your calls flawlessly.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Can you tell me the settings also please ? I tried changing it but still can't hear opponents voice or phone line is not effective
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
For "Audio Source" I have selected "Phone line", for File format I have selected MPEG-4, that works for me. The settings might be ROM dependent.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Am using slimbean too . I have done same settings as u said but can hear very feeble voice. What about "audio channel" and "recording quality" . I selected stereo and medium quality respectively
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
I have two Ions, I'm not using Slimbean on the Ion I do call recording on. Like I said it's ROM dependent.

When I go to select wallpaper, it just selects the one with the Android, I can't choose anything else. Is this happening to anyone else? Very frustrating.

Also, Google search force closes with long press of hardware search button.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Najuto9tail:
What launcher are you using? I always use nova.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
This rom has an excellent holo launcher, which is lighter than Nova, but has all the features. Plus, holo is open source.

For those who want to use encryption on CM based roms: it works without slowing down your phone, and you can use an app from F-droid encpasschanger to have a separate (long) password for boot and short one for screen. You just need to do a little extra step:

Start encryption, when you see green droid, immediately remove power plug for the rest of the process.

When you are up and running, the only way for corrupt powers to open your device would be breaking your fingers (one by one) until you give up the password. :)

Camera and Kitakat gallery for CM based roms

Many complain about the low quality of camera in CM based roms. Here is the thread for 2 separate apps, camera and gallery that work together. Camera has 12mp resolution, option to save to SD and many more. Generally, it looks and acts fancier and snappier. Gallery is just latest Kitkat, but unlike others, it won't override your camera when installed. You can install both apps as regular ones. Try them. Work fine on my Slimbean.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50461118

Remember, gallery2 is camera and gallery is album/browser
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Olivier:
I use the CM camera and the pictures are as good as on Stock. Just saying.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I did not complain about original CM camera, but this one does have an option to save to SD. Plus, the interface is prettier in my view and you have more screen dedicated to the image...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
Can I just use the camera app which is gallery2.apk and not install or use the gallery.apk because I want to use the Sony Album?

Is this the right way to do it?

1. remove default camera and gallery by using Titanium Backup

2. install gallery2.apk

3. install Sony Album

Thanks.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You can use separate apps, but I am not sure you can use Sony album in CM roms without additional files...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Olivier:
Ok guys, this build should work for everyone. This is exactly the same ZIP, I just removed some lines in the updater-script as requested and hosted it on my team's server as a bonus. Sorry for the delay. Enjoy!

Here is the latest battery stats. 11 hours including over 1hr of screen; 90% wifi; sip client (got rid of csipsimple and instead use linphone), voice calls, moderate web browsing and syncing 4 email accounts on K9 mail. And using only 20% of battery. Keep in mind, this was not overnight, but rather during the day use. You can't beat that. Slimbean is positively the best combination of lightning speed and battery life. Also, unlike other CM based roms, this one doesn't have google analytics in jar files that wastes your battery even if you untick report usage in settings.

I have encrypted my device and am done with flashing. There must be a major war at the least to force me to change to another rom. :)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] intoxic8:
Not laggy at all... I don't know why others are having problems with this rom... it's probably they installed a few memory hungry apps.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
If you do a clean install, format both internal storage and SD, and stay away from dumb init.d scripts, you will have zero lag/problems. If you, on the other hand, jump between diferent roms every two days and burden your device with useless and most of the time damaging scripts, you will never get rid of f/cs, lags and other problems. Stay away from "thunderous", "amazing", "beautiful" roms with "wonderful" kitkat feelings, especially when compiled by those who know very little about what they are doing and spewing version after version where they "fix" one bug and produce 10 new ones... . It is your choice.

3- wipe cache/dalvik

edit--

i cannot find log because the sdcard needs to be formated afterwards i cannot access it without formating

i tried again this time with wiping the system before and it says no os and get stuck in the sony logo

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Olivier:
According to this post -

It should work... Sorry, but I can't help you then.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkangel9685:
after flashing, did you wipe the following?

-cache

-dalvik cache

-/data

you should have options to do all those in recovery. If you don't you be stuck in a bootloop
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zEaK47:
i wipe cach/dalvik (it's one button in TWRP that i click on it says wipe cache/dalvik) so i think i don't wipe data

and i don't get stuck in bootloop i just boot into the stockrom like nothing happened except the sdcard needs to be formated
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
You don't need to wipe anything after flashing. The key is to wipe data, cache and system in BEFORE flashing the new rom.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zEaK47:
when i do that and click reboot it says "no OS installed! are you sure you wish to reboot?"

i reboot and it get stuck in the SONY screen.

alright i got it!

i installed the old version (slimbean-20140213-nozomi-LB-BETA0.zip) and it's working fine

the other one (slimbean-20140306-aoba-LB-BETA0.zip) doesn't work for me i don't know why

anyways it's fine smooth and really fast

the camera doesn't take time to load it starts immediately and the recent apps thing doesn't freez the phone like in cm10 :laugh:

thank you so much for your hard work ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
OK. If you installed Nozomi, then your device is Xperia S, which would explain your previous problem. If you installed older Aoba, then that would mean that the OP might have missed on META-INF script in that one.

Anyway, in my view, this is the best rom for ION. Take it from me (I have had a few roms of my own)...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zEaK47:
yes i have xperia s and this rom is great :good:

btw i noticed you have shared two files to flash what do they do ? because they make me not able to use wifi anymore !
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
The patches were made specifically for ION. You shouldn't use ION's files for Xperia S: won't work. You'll have to reflash Nozomi rom again...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Olivier:
And I didn't dare to ask if you really have an Xperia Ion... :D

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
Get LG Camera from Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=rubberbigpepper.lgCamera

It's the best camera/video app I've used and supports the Ion's 12MP resolution. Lots of nice photo features, like it will focus on zero accelerometer, lets you set a separate focus button, fine-tuning of camera settings, and more. It also includes a video camera that supports HD video. I've tried other camera apps and I keep coming back to this one. I paid for the Pro version because I support developers of high quality apps. It also supports opening the camera with the hardware button.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
Is that a really big deal? The hardware button works fine for taking shots...

Besides, the recommended lg camera is closed source and begging you to buy a pro version. I bet it has malware too...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] darkangel9685:
It really isnt a big deal, just a convience option that a lot of us have gotten used to:angel:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
By that logic you must think 99% of all apps have malware, haha

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] optimumpro:
I disagree. You are not saying that 99% of apps for android are closed source. On the contrary, most apps are open source, which means one can examine them and see what's inside. For example: CM 10, as well as other versions, contain Google analytics, and it is enabled by default. You can undefault or remove it completely. AOKP roms have analytics too, but at least they give you the option to opt out before the app connects to their servers. Only Slimbean rom has no such google garbage. In a closed source app, you would have no idea that your phone regularly connects to some server on the internet and transmits there whatever is going on with the phone and possibly in the surrounding area...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
So I am on this rom for a few weeks. One real annoying bug is that my phone crashes after I select any app from the recent apps list (after long-pressing home button). This often causes me to reset/reboot the phone (Power+Volume down). Any suggestions would help. Thanks.

I have done a completely clean install... wiped everything three times and formatted the internal storage. Everything else is working great for me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jebep:
Hey imm1304...

I have been using this rom for several days and have not had this problem at all. It runs really well and I like the option of the recent apps / long-press. I'm even using a different launcher than the built-in one but I tried it even on that launcher and it works correctly.

I noticed something you said about rebooting - "power plus volume DOWN button"...Are you running the ROM on an Xperia ION (LT28)? Because reboot on an Ion, AFAIK, is volume UP and power!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] EEngineer:
Well, this is an example of an open-source app: Spy Camera Open Source with all source code available. The downside of an open-source app like that is people download the source code, make some mods, and then put it on Google Play as their own.

For 99% of apps you will not be able to examine the source code like Spy Camera OS.

I solve the privacy issue by using DroidWall to block network access for most of my apps, which protects my privacy and also dramatically improves my battery life. Yes, I'm suspicious, but I also use common sense. For example, if a camera wants access to my contacts I won't install it. Pretty much any game is suspicious - I have an early version of Angry Birds and I block network access, and I also have a chess app. Those are the only two games I have.

LG Camera only uses a handful of permissions. The paid version does not have network access permission. IMO it's the best camera app out there.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Same problem here too . I trying hard not to use recent apps list as i was used to that and it has been said by many earlier in this thread. Guess someone will bring a FIX
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] imm1304:
hey, thanks for your response. Its great that its working for you but it seems like a known bug for some users as I just browsed thru few pages here and read other people reporting it too.

Yes, I am using LT28 and I typed wrong volume key earlier .. the point is that the phone becomes unresponsive/crashes and needs to be rebooted before it can be used again.

---------- Post added at 09:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

hopefully someone knowledgeable enough will attempt a fix. It would be nice to have this rom as my regular rom. On my other ion, I am running miui because its just very different and packed with features. In terms of battery life, nothing comes close to slimbean.
