Hi

I prepared short review for SlimKat 3.4 unofficial build for XT910 UMTS.

I use it for a last few days and my general impression is positive.

But lets start from beginning...

1. Instalation

I use SafeStrap, so installation process is very easy: create slot, install software and gapps, clean cache and Dalvik cache. That's all.

After booting of phone there is sort setup and phone is ready to work. ALMOST...

After next restart phone stops connecting to network and to fix that problem it is necessary manually delete CellBroadcastReceiver.apk what is very easy because SlimKat is delivered with SlimCenter containing SlimSizer when user can delete any app.

So, delete it, reboot and forget about network connection problems. Why this app is delivered with most of KitKat ROMs for XT910 UMTS I do no understand. All of them have the same problem after rebooting.

2. Daily usage

I use it as my daily driver last days and it worked really good. I noticed just one crash when I used Any.do app but I cannot reproduce it so far.

Battery life is good for me - see BatteryLife.jpg attached. On the other hand I was totally surprised when I charged battery to 102% - see Battery102.jpg - really strange.

I turned system to use ART instead of Dalvik and I haven't noticed any problem so far. Every app I used worked properly. Of course app installation time is a bit longer now, but good information is that apps starts faster.

Call/receive calls - not problem. Sound is clean.

WiFi - I haven't noticed any problem with connection/disconnecting WiFi networks. Everything worked good.

GPS gets position really fat, I was very surprised with that.

SMS sending works properly but I still cannot send any MMS message. Nevermind data transmission is enabled. I does not work. To receive MMS data transmission must be enabled. This is the biggest bug I noticed.

Flip actions to dismiss call or alarm also don't work what confuses me. It worked perfectly in CARBON 4.2.2 version I used for long time.

It looks very strange in action: flip down - no action performed, flip up - phone seems to be blocked for some time and after a few seconds you can finally dismiss alarm or call.

Memory usage is much better than in 4.2.2 ROMs. After boot there is used 434MB and free 405MB of RAM with all of my services and widgets started. Great result.

Bleutooth I didn't test. I use it very seldom and it is not much important to me.

What was new for me - used apps display. It is changed in SlimKat - nice right side panel is displayed with list of used application.

Generally I must say that I like SlimKat. It has all options I really need to use it every day. I'm happy with Real dark option which turns system and most important apps into black theme, performance good enough without replacing kernel, ART support without problems and smoothness of GUI.

I hope that strange battery behavior and MMS sending problems will be fixed in next releases:)

And maybe XT910 will be officially supported by SlimKat team?

Small update:

MMS issue: installing 8sms application solves problem. Probably Messaging app does not resize image and whole MMS message is declined by network as too big.

SlimKat umts_spyder build 3.6 2014-03-09

I performed dirty flash of SlimKat 3.6 over SlimKat 3.4 - no problems.

Everything works as it worked before. I haven't noticed any new problems.

I'm still not happy with bad flip actions support but that this problem exists in every of tested KK ROMs - looks it is general malfunction.

Waiting for new version...

bluetooth

Hi I would be curious to know if the bluetooth works, in particular in the car. also if the bluetooth has any problems pairing and keeping the pair when you change from flight mode to normal, if you have to pair again or not . thanks for the review
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rys1908:
Hi

I have tested bluetooth with other phone and headset and haven't noticed any problems. You do not have to pair devices again after going off flight mode.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rys1908:
SlimKat 3.8 upgrade

Hi

I performed dirty flash to SlimKat 3.8 without problems. CellBroadcastReceiver.apk is still delivered so you have to delete it manually to get rid of cell connection problems

After that device works good. Still great memory management:)

I noticed that problems with flip actions seems to be almost resolved and now I can dismiss call and alarm flipping down my phone.

For calls it works immediately but for alarms I need to perform flip down - flip up - flip down and after some delay alarm is dismissed.

What I'd like to see in SlimKat are Performance options in settings. Of course I can install some app to manipulate processor settings and governors but I think this should be part of system delivery.

And, of course, XT910 is still not supported officially, so forget OTA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] apturic:
How about slim 4,any surprised？
[Motorola Droid RAZR] MadZed:
I used SlimKat for a while and I found it REALLY FAST AND SMOOTH! I reccommend it!

Now I'm installing the 4.0 build and we'll see how it works

the only problem I experienced: when discharging completely to "0%"...my phone resets itself, quite strange/frustrating...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rys1908:
I'm still on 3.8. Yesterday I dischrged battery to 0% and phone shot down correctly , not restarted automatically.

Abou 4.0 - I'm a bit confused. SlimRoms.net does not mention that so far but in changelog we can find 3.10 version: http://slimroms.net/index.php/changelog.

I'll wait a bit:)
[Motorola Droid RAZR] bcbarco:
hello

I installed 4.4.2 build 4 and I got the network problem and after i deleted the cellbroadcast.. it worked!! but now i have a problem with the hotspot ;( my brother tried to connect but he couldn't ;( do you know what to do to solve this little problem?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rys1908:
I havent tried wifi tethering before (no need) but it looks problem exists. I also cannot connect to established hotspot (I still on 3.8). I remember that there was tethering problem on beginning of work on kitkat custom roms for Razr device but it was fixed long time ago.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lexor1969:
Hello, 1st post here :) I LOVE Slimkat for our Razr, I've been running the latest updates in slot 1 for months and for the last few days I've run the latest build in the stock slot and love it even more.

But I have to agree that AP / hotspot / wifi tether is not working anymore. It was working fine for a while there -- here are notes in the update log:

29DEC2013 - CM's netd code "hopefully fixes wifi tether" [I think it started working around here for the 1st time]

09FEB2014 - "mobile hotspot fixed" [might have broke again along the line ? ]

In the last 2 builds (20MAR2014 first then tried 27MAR2014 both as dirty flash and then fresh in slot 1), I can create a hotspot but nothing can join. Too bad because I really make use of it, hope it gets fixed again soon :)

And thx to original poster for posting a quality review of what is one of the best ROMs for our classic spyder.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rys1908:
After a week on SlimKat 4.0 i have to say that it is really solid and stable. Wifi tethering is known problem (reported to dev forum). I also noticed that my favourite governor "hotplug" is no longer supported and battery usage over night is now 4% instead of 2% I used to. I'm not sure hotplugging is supported by interactive or ondemand governors. I think I'll try to use JBX kernel with SlimKat and see how good it is. If you have any experiences, plz share with me.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] lexor1969:
Whew this guy figured out that the CM11 WiFi AP fix still also works for us:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51713472&postcount=1592

just installed and it's working.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rys1908:
Finally I tested SlimKat with JBX kernel (only battery saver enabled) and I havent noticed any better bsttery life. There was even worse than without it: 5-6% over night consumption when phone did nothing. I also played with governors enabled in JBX what almost every time caused system hanging.

So, finally I resign of JBX and made decision to give another chsnce to Carbon Rom that was my daily driver for months (release 4.2.2).

I must say I'm surprised how good is Carbon now - I remember first 4.4 releases. Everything seems to work properly including tethering. What is quite important for UMTS razor users we can disable CellBroadcastReceiver in settings - no need to delete it and restart phone.

There is one feature I love especially: lockscreen notifications. This is killer feature for me.

What is also important for me, Hotplug governor is enabled in kernel and again I have overnight usage 2-3%.

I must say I'm currently very satisfied with Carbon Rom. Looks it became my daily driver again.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Wyneg:
Hi!

I installed Slimkat version 7.0 stable and my cell phone (S3 I9300) lost network connection randomly. Duration of connection is 1 - 2 seconds max. If I delete CellBroadcastReceiver.apk as you say, network connection will be stable, without disconnect randomly?

Thanks!

hello all! :D I'm new to the site, so I thought seen as this is my first thread I would say hello etc.. *waves*.. I got my XDA mini s last week and with some help from this place have it working nicely (on the stock rom might I add, as it appears to be the latest from O2..).

However, I noticed that after leaving it under my PC moniter it had effected the colouring of the screen (as a magnet would), it took me about 5mins to realise that the case that comes with the XDA from O2 has two magnets in it to hold the flap down when the case is closed. The only thing I am not sure off is how this will effect my XDA? I was never one to trust companies to think before they act so producing a case that would damage the product it is designed for does not stretch my belief, but I'm honestly unsure of how it would effect things... Thoughts on the subject?

On a slightly related note (and something I asked in another thread, but figured I would put it here also due to it being related)..

What kind of screen protector do people recommend? What about a link to a decent case too? Do you guys keep your wizards in a case or just keep it hanging around in your pockets? Worried about damaging the thing but getting it out of the case to answer a call is a tad annoying..

Thanks for any help and advice :D

*waves more*
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] [sYn]:
I decided to just buy a new case :D! This one will make it easier to use too, so all is well once more.. :)
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mosgeo:
So which one did you decide on? Interested for my own XDA Mini S. Cheers.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] [sYn]:
I went with the PDAir book type leather case (review: http://www.onppc.com/forum/article_read.asp?id=12) which are on sale on ebay for £14.49 with free shipping.. it is however coming from hongkong which could mean a fake :\.. we shall see ;)! To buy them new from PDAir.com is around the same price but you have to pay for shipping, which I thought would probably fairly high, so I decided to chance it with ebay..

The review plus some feedback of another forum member in another thread (http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=29227) sold the case for me.. Ill post a review when i get it in a week or so.

For me the issue with the case I had (the O2 default case) was the hugely powerful magnets in it and the fact that it was a slip out (and one that was not easy to slip the phone out off) which would take me 5mins to get the damn thing out to answer a call..
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] 3waygeek:
I also have a PDAir case (flip style rather than book), which I bought direct from PDAir. Shipping from Hong Kong was quite fast; IIRC, it took only 3 days to get to the US. Total cost including shipping was $28.

Hv u ported dis kernel???? Hv u tested it???
[Samsung Galaxy Star] TripRex:
First,never quote the whole O.P because its the XDA rule and these kernel will surely work so please kindly edit your post
[Samsung Galaxy Star] insomaniacdev:
Okk bro
[Samsung Galaxy Star] Vortex99:
So I can't install any tweaks. ?? or r der in any specific tweaks which wnt cause any trouble.. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] TripRex:
Best is don't install other tweaks because tweaks are just for optimising stuffs and anyway the kernel is already packed with lots of tweaks so there is no need for installing tweaks
[Samsung Galaxy Star] Vortex99:
Thank u will test it soon... :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] roozbeh158:
anybody test it?

for s5282 or 5280?

Could you attach your stock boot.img kernel here?
[Samsung Galaxy Star] @rchit:
nope i tested it too

it doesnt work

maybe a programming glitch

(bootloop)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] sambathpkr:
Glad to hear that a dev working on a custom kernel.btw you are using the source code of single sim version of galaxy star s-5280. but most of our members using dual sim version s-5282.both sources might got a difference.better to take look at the source. for the stock kernel go ahead to the following link and download the boot.zip.it is a slightly modified version of stock kernel of s-5282.

[Samsung Galaxy Star] TripRex:
New build with booting fixed.Please test

Okay thanks for the stock boot.img and I wasnt using S5280 source code,i was using S5282 source code but its just that compression error cause the kernel to not boot at all
[Samsung Galaxy Star] @rchit:
umm...

wer is the new build
[Samsung Galaxy Star] Vortex99:

Could you help me test the new build now?
[Samsung Galaxy Star] insomaniacdev:
Hey buddy, It's a framebuffer problem and the solution is pretty known; just paste it from TeamRegular repository and put inside BoardConfig.mk with related sources.Hope this kernel will be now stable :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] :
Framebuffer problem happens only when porting CWM.The kernel is not related to the device tree but anyway thanks for spending the time to help fix this kernel.Appreciate your help :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] thenatureboy:
just tested,,, still no display
[Samsung Galaxy Star] insomaniacdev:
Ook buddy...I havent made any kernel yet. I thought this problem is same as cwm :p
[Samsung Galaxy Star] Vortex99:
btw in the next build can you please add some option that will make the phone to boot into recovery through key combo... because right now my phone can enter the recovery through reboot recovery command not through the key combination. ..
[Samsung Galaxy Star] insomaniacdev:
Buddy i have already maded a kernel for that purpose :)

Soon i am coming with a new rom in which u will get full nexus look. And i will add that kernel in that rom :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] Vortex99:
Seriously. ..?? if it works den I owe u a big thanks... :) :)
[Samsung Galaxy Star] insomaniacdev:
Yea buddy :) . Main problem is dat i dont own this device now.. so this problem makes this process a bit slow.. but soon i will come with a kernel for that purpose :)

Is it working???

Is this kernel ready to use or still fixing bugs ??
[Samsung Galaxy Star] :
Custom kernels do not work on this device.. well at least on stock/stock based roms.. :confused:

Yeah, this whole thing is weird.. and TripRex, Unjustified Dev, cleverior.ipul all agree on this. :silly:

The only custom kernel that works without s/w rendering is by psych.half.. but that's for CM10.1 :eek::eek:

And, sorry to say buddy.. but no developer is working on this device right now.. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Star] @rchit:
but what happened to cm 10.1 development u were so close to fixing network so darn close what happened to that bro?

*** Disclaimer

I have no responsible for your device if anything goes wrong!

Please use CM Specific kernel 4.0 to have a good experience. Since my Galaxy Y has been dead, I've sent it to repair and I'm now using another phone, I will be back in few days. Thanks for supporting me.

​

Features:

What's not working:​

USB tethering

FM Radio (Not tested)

HW (Partially)

If you find any bugs, please don't hesitate comment to this thread, if this bug is not related to the base ROM, i will try my best to fix it.

Installation Guide:​

(RECOMMENDED) Be on a stock ROM, installation will be cleaner

Download THIS EXT4 tool, the Kernel and the Rom on your device.

Flash on Samsung recovery (or your recovery if you are not on stock), my temp. CWM.

When you are on the Temp. CWM, flash the EXT4 Formatter tool, so whole system will be converted to EXT4. (Stock filesystem is RFS)

After the installation, flash my kernel you have downloaded before.

When the Kernel is installed, go, on the CWM, to advanced --> reboot recovery (this will reboot the device, and turn it on on the new CWM of kernel)

Wipe data, cache and dalvik

(IMPORTANT) Go to mounts and storage, and make sure system is mounted (will show unmounted) mount it 2 times!

Go to install zip from SD Card, choose zip from SD card and install your MIUIv3. (MAKE SURE installation last more than 5 seconds, if is less than 5 secodns, your system is unmounted! repeate step 8).

Mount the System again and install GApps.

After installation, go back and reboot system, if you made it good, ROM boots, so no problem on it.

Please follow the instruction carefully or you will have to do it again (or worsely brick your phone).

Known bugs (and will not be fixed):

Icon in launcher is so small, SOLUTION: please try to apply the default theme.

Backup function doesn't work properly, SOLUTION: don't backup Gallery, Music, Voice Recording, DND. Some system applications give error when backup them.

Your phone is a LDPI phone, so please don't try to apply MDPI or HDPI lock screen and theme, it will absolutely break the framework.
