No worries. It wasn't your comment that made me feel like a noob as much as it was the simple realization on my part that I forgot to do the basics before posting. So, it's definitely on me.

Regarding supporting two E-mail apps, I guess you're right... although, I will only admit that begrudgingly. :) I just turned 43 a few weeks ago, but you'd think I was in my 80s or 90s when it comes to certain issues. I guess I've been using Android for so long now that I've become a bit set in my ways in some areas. I just liked that my personal and work E-mail never mixed (oil and water, so to speak). I preferred and actually liked using separate E-mail apps.

But I completely understand what you're saying regarding supporting multiple different solutions that essentially do the same thing. In my line of work, we develop and manage complex web-based solutions for clients, many of them which include custom programming. So, I can definitely understand and appreciate Google's desire to simplify things a bit moving forward. I'm sure I'll adjust to using GMail for both personal and work E-mail, even if I don't like it at first.

I would tend to agree with you and the others who were in favor of removing the stock E-mail client. It seems pretty useless and pointless to keep now. If it's using up valuable and limited space and memory resources, I can't think of any good reason to keep it. I'm sure there are some who could perhaps make a compelling argument to keep it, but I can't think of any good reason I will continue to use it any longer. I say toss it.

Thanks for the invite to participate more in the community and with the SION testing group. I will definitely get in touch with lovejoy777 via PM and will try to make an effort to participate more, rather than just lurk in the shadows. :) Honestly, I got a little burned out a few years ago while helping with another ROM. I just needed a break from some of the immaturity and petty bickering that unfortunately went on in some of the forums. But, I would be happy to help out with SlimPop in whatever way I can, as you guys all seem to be friendly, mature and reasonable. :)

Happy New Year to you all!

Forty three was a long time ago for me. But....change is good, learning new things helps keep us young.

This is a relatively small but friendly community. I don't think that you will find a whole lot of drama here.

For which I am very grateful.

Cheers.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
hi guys, just a quick one. im nearly there with sion. ive had to completely rewrite it :( its taken me days of coding (till 4.30am every night/morning. but im nearly there :). hope to get it finished in the next few hours so hopefully i will release V0.7 later. (hence the reason of not excepting your invite yet [MENTION=1967709]cgrucelski[/MENTION] :) ).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lllukas:
Its not a problem my friend. We will wait as long as it takes :) take Your time and happy, full of success and happiness new Year !

Even better for Steve if Nottingham Forest beat Rochdale in the FA cup on Jan 3rd! [emoji2]
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I would like to thank everyone here for the lack of drama. I get enough at work. :)

You should take a break and relax with the family. The last build is running smooth with no major issues. I'm sure we can get along for a while and enjoy your work.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
woop woop :) working perfect at bloody last. i am uploading to playstore now, it will take an hour or so. not forgotten you [MENTION=1967709]cgrucelski[/MENTION] ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
it will be V0.8 as i messed up on V0.7
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
if Microsoft can skip versions, you can too.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
google still not upgraded to v0.8 yet :(
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
At last..... a new version of sion. Sion3 V0.9 is in koops hands, flashable.zip installer code all good and cleaned up. init.d script installer code all good and cleaned up (as long as it passes koops meticulous tests) I will upload to google. "now that has been an epic journey" lots learned though :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] netreign:
sion v. 0.9 stop working to me....!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
KOOP APPROVED! Tested installation of init.d scripts and OTA and they work. Do remember with installing OTA scripts that they take a long time to complete. As we discussed, there is that whole back up process. Be patient and it gets you there.

Cheers, [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION], good job.

Can you explain what you were trying to do and what happened?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] netreign:
when i try to searching in my dir for init. d... stopped
[Kindle Fire Android Development] koop1955:
Haven't seen that behavior, but thanks. Hopefully the new build will sort that.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] netreign:
maybe i try flash zip... but i dont have a zip... where can i download zip
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skyungjae:
Flashed Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.7.zip last night. It's amazing how much snappier this device is than my Note 1.

The Gapps link on post 2 didn't work for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
That file has been removed from AFH, because it has been updated.

new pa_gapps-modular-micro-5.0.1-BETA5-20141225-signed.zip
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i know what you are describing. (small bug) its just that your trying to go back with "parent direct" button. its only coded back as far as sdcard (i will fix this soon). to check hit the delete button that takes you straight to the init.d folder. :D then back button to come out.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i do take it your trying to check if it installed before rebooting??. if your just trying to install an init.d follow instructions. then check it took effect by using trickster etc. but if its in the init.d folder then it can not fail to take effect upon reboot (as long as its one of my scripts :) )
[Kindle Fire Android Development] skyungjae:
This is sooooooooo important. I thought for a while it was going to be an infinite boot animation. Thank goodness I had other things to do that kept me from wanting to hold down the power button. :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
happy new year guys :D

@lovejoy777 , [MENTION=4630246]joshuabg[/MENTION] I need some help. Can you upload the whole CM source code if your Internet Service is fine uploading such a huge file? Our Govt. Has blocked Github.

http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/now-modi-govt-blocks-32-websites/article6742372.ece
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
OK guys, nvm. They are going to unblock github soon:D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
I read that, why would they do such a thing. i have a few friends in the slim dev group from India, they were gutted when the news dropped about gihub. hope they really do unlock it :) Happy new year to you too guys :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ha just read your link. bloody IS again. very sad we can't all get along with each other. maybe they should join the otterx-slimpop thread and see what its like to be nice to each other :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] :
Ugh not unblocked yet.:cyclops:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i could upload some source but my upload speed is so slow, you may get it by 2016 ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
I am supposed to get 35 Mbps upload speed so I might be able to upload it.

Edit: where should I upload it to?

---------- Post added at 10:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:08 AM ----------

Have you tried a proxy? I know you can configure git with one
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sd_shadow:
mega?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
josh just posted this. http://freeproxylists.net/ not sure if it helps ;)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Hashbang173:
I've never used that before, quick DuckDuckGo search found that. Might work.

[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok just sorted the file chooser (parent dir button) in Sion. uploading now V0.10 this may be the final beta release as i think now everything is sorted. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Now i just need an ota to give your piece of magic a run. I clean flashed the last ROM update.

By the way, I have a chance to pick up a 16GB nexus 7 WiFi for $50.00. Comes pre-rooted and unlocked. Don't worry, I'll still remain active here for testing. If I do pick the N7 up I'll give my kindle to my wife and will use hers for testing this SlimPop goodness. Win-win for all.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i have a N7 but think the kindle works better, ;) new ota coming tonight
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Really??? I'm still going to pick it up. If I don't like it I'll give it to my wife and still use her kindness for testing. Still a win-win

Sweet.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
building now. nearly finished :) ota coming soon :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] Ixthusdan:
Will the old sion work? I do not have access to the new sion.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Sion V1.00 (this will be released as the 1st production build), it now has Russian translations as well thanks to Vladimir Duda (not sure who he is here on Xda though :)

I will post in a minute as its on my laptop.

new ota flash with Sion Link: Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717074217
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Sion Version 1.00, you will need to delete your old version before installing this, if you have v0.10 then i would not update with this as the playstore updates will be broken. you will have to delete this to reinstall the released v1.00 when its published in a bit.

Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717074212

out of curiosity why can't you get the latest version 0.10 from the beta?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Device should be all charged up and I should be home in about 15 minutes. Time to play me thinks it is...
[Kindle Fire Android Development] arogon:
Got it working with no problem on my first try. Thanks!
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Just flashed ota v0.23 with Sion v1.00 everything looks to have gone well :)

Just 1 ? Is the build date correct or did it not update as it shows wed Dec 31 2014 not Jan 2 2015 as I would figure since its a new build just wondering.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] nighthawkca:
Is there a way to get a version to clean flash from twrp? I made a mess with the last version with pico gapps and some fiddling with TiBu. I need to start fresh. ?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
well spoted, im using a new bash script to make my builds automated (the future will be slim nightlies automated :) ) unfortunately it didn't update the date but it is todays build. also i found 1 last bug with sion. the flasher delete chooser returns you back to the init.d activity (woops) also there was no way to delete the copied .zip file that resides in /data/data/com.sion.lovejoy777sa.sion/otaroms/ so i just fixed the bug and added an extra button for deleting that .zip. the old way meant that you always had the last.zip in that folder until you flashed another.zip which overwrote the previous one. the new button allows you to simply delete that .zip. im uploading it now. do you fancy trying it? if so don't delete that file manually yet as you can try it out for me.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] gnexdude:
lovejoy777 the latest update is working great, used sion 1.0 no problem to do the ota.

Hey quick question, I just noticed that smartreflex is control is on should it be off? Also, I don't see smartass...lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yea smartass is on hold for now, i had issues with deep sleep. it will be back though
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i will upload one now for you :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
uploading full v0.23 now. it will have the old date still as it was built with the same script as the ota. i will post link as soon as its up.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
full rom V0.23 for clean flashers and 1st timers

Link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717074296
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
anyone up for testing the new sion with clear previous button?
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
1) Sion worked like a champ upgrading to SlimLP v0.23. The Kindle booed up within five minutes ready to go.

2) How do I delete goggle photos? Can't find the .apk for the life of me.

3) Speaking of which does this ROM really need gallery and Google Photos? What photo viewing app would the community like? Any space of resources we can save on this device will help.

---------- Post added at 10:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:32 PM ----------

I'll give it a go.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
uploading now
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
sec laptop ran out of battery :( just booted back up and uploading
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
while we wait. can you use a file browser and check in /data/data/sion.com.lovejoy777sa.sion/otaroms/ you will see the renamed .zip in there
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
Sion Version1.00-b with new button for deleting previously installed.zips, just unzip it and install it then go into flashable.zip installer and hit button 5 then recheck with file browser to make sure its gone (hopefully the new install wont clear the apps data and do it before hand) watch for the popup text :) https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95864024717074324 .

Cheers Steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Sure I'll give it a go :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
also it should of fixed the bug where when you went into flashable.zip installer and chose a file with the delete button it returned to the init.d screen. just test that as well. Cheers
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
that should save us 160 odd mb after flashing ota's :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GIL0802:
Can you describe the instructions to flash new builds with that Sion.apk that everybody is talking about ? . I was watching the post reply but i saw that people have problems with it so i wait a little more to try out, now it seems to be Ok.

So, Where do i start ? :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Yes I can see a zip called otarom.zip :good:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
[MENTION=5558383]GIL0802[/MENTION] its really only for the ota files i post. it will flash any.zip file (but at the minute only one at a time) which means that you would still need to boot back to recovery to flash gapps. but if you are already running a previous build of my slimpop rom, just follow the instructions in app. its very simple and makes updating fast and easy.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
There is a file named otarom.zip at 154.41MB and a file named romudatescript.sh at 235 b. This the files you looking for???
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ok now follow my previous post to delete it from within Sion. just open flashable.zip installer (button 2 on home page) then hit the last button. its only in that last build version 1.00-b. then check again with file browser :) it should be gone. so from now on, just install the ota's then return back to Sion and hit that button :) saves 160mb of space. :D
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
i need sleep 4.30am here :D [MENTION=5558383]GIL0802[/MENTION] if you have any questions regarding Sion ask here the guys that have been using it for a while will help you I'm sure. now [MENTION=2784430]mlkjuggalo[/MENTION] i would sleep easier if you told me it works fine before i head upstairs :D (no pressure/rush) lol
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
yes mate the .sh file is the script that's generated new each time you flash a .zip. try the "delete previously intalled.zip" button and then recheck, it should delete that whole folder :) please let me know. cheers steve
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
That did the trick. Deleted the entire ota folder. Well done, Sir.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
the buttons in the flashable.zip installer at the bottom. i will rewrite the instructions tomorrow (if it works fine).
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GIL0802:
Ok so, those OTA files are for testing ? Because I'm good right now with the latest build from the threat, Slim-otterx-5.0.1.alpha.0.8-V0.7... or those ota files are the follows up from alpha 0.8 ? :confused:
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
Worked as advertised my end, Steve. Now go and rest easy, you have had a busy day. :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] mlkjuggalo:
Yes it worked just fine folder and files inside are gone after pressing button :)

Thanks and have a good night
[Kindle Fire Android Development] sabres032:
I have a couple of whiskeys in my at the moment so forgive me of I miss understand you question. Did you flash the most recent ROM [MENTION=4410674]lovejoy777[/MENTION] uploaded today? If so was it a clean flash with the latest PA Gapps? If so you'll have to wait for the next ota update to run Sion updater.

If you are not on the most recent ROM release download the Sion v1.0b and the ROM ota v0.23 posted a couple pages back. Then follow the instructions for flashing the ota within Sion.
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
not tests full working builds, but your better doing a normal install 1st with a 5.0.2 build, i posted the latest build on the previous page. after flashing that then use sion for all other updates. the otas are best if coming from the same version of android. the difference is an ota just copies all your apps and settings etc to a temp folder then installs a new system image etc then reinstalls all your apps/settings back again. its like a dirty flash just much quicker. the otas and the full rom .zips are the exact same builds, there built at the same time. its just a more convenient way of installing a rom. its identical to how cm do there inrom updates, except you download the rom manually then use sion to install them. hope im making sense :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
coooooool now i can sleep. big production release on googleplay tomorrow :D thats why i was desperate to have it tested. koops with his daughter so i didn't want to bother him. thanks and gooooood night :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
woop woop cheers mate. night
[Kindle Fire Android Development] lovejoy777:
ps i must update the op :)
[Kindle Fire Android Development] GIL0802:
Thanks, now i got it. I will download the latest 5.0.2 build tomorrow and try out.

You really have to update the OP because i always see the first page first for any updates...
