THIS ROM IS FOR THE CANADIAN SGH-I757M ONLY... DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANOTHER DEVICE!
By flashing this ROM, you are voiding your phones warranty (Unless you return it
to complete stock which is possible, but beyond the scope of this thread). You
also agree that I will in no way be held responsible in the event that your
device becomes bricked (Not likely to happen). In addition, you are responsible
to take the necessary backups of your apps, data, sms, contacts, calendar events, etc.
If you agree, then please continue on ;)[/COLOR]
NEW RELEASE INFORMATION
The latest release is finally up. Build 20130831-1335. Released September 1, 2013. See the change log for changes in this build.
Introduction
SlimBean is a ROM developed by the SlimRoms team. It's built on CM (which is derived from AOSP). In addition to being a minimalistic build (only about 120MB zip), it incorporates features found in CM, AOKP and Paranoid Android. Among the notable features are finer control over the aesthetics of the UI and performance tweaks scripts included for running at boot (universal init.d app from play store required).

What Works
* Phone
* Wi-Fi
* Mobile
* GPS
* Bluetooth
* SMS/MMS
* Data Usage
* Camera/Camcorder
* BLN Notification
* init.d only supported via third party app Universal init.d from the market. Used for startup tweak scripts.
What Doesn't Work
* We do not get voicemail notification and never have since our first custom Rom. There is a solution that is undocumented. I will try to contact the developers who are said to have applied this fix to see if I can get some insight into fixing this for our ROMs
* While in camera app, selecting:
Settings -> Restore Defaults -> Settings = Force Close
Restarting the app clears the issue.
* BLN does not turn on when screen is activated. Only after a 6 seconds timeout, and also works for BLN notification.
* init.d does not work. Use Universal init.d from the market to imitate this behavior to enable the startup tweaks.
* YouTube video overlay only works with hw overlays disabled (requires developer options to be on).

Code:[B]August 31, 2013 - Build 20130831-1335[/B] * Rebuilt kernel to enable the necessary modules for Data Usage * Fixed Yahoo Weather API to enable weather on the lockscreen * Fixed MMS bug that wouldn't allow an MMS picture to be downloaded. (This may have broken the Group Messing feature implemented by SlimBean * Applied a fix to the media provider which should speed up initial media scanning by optimizing the calls to the sqlite db. This may also have a positive impact on battery usage, but would be very smalland missy likely unnoticeable * The random reboots seem to have been fixed by adding the data usage modules to the kernel. Let me know if this has not resolved the random reboots for you [B]August 24, 2013 - Build 20130824-0545[/B] *Initial release

Without all of the hard work and efforts of the two teams mentioned above, this ROM would not be possible, so we owe them or thanks for providing us with such excellent ROMs.
In addition, I have received a lot of help on my journey to understand and be able to develop for the android platform, so I owe the following people my thanks for helping me to make this ROM possible.
