Hey guys

I've been using Slim ICS for a few months now, and I thought I'd share some of the tweaks that I have been making to it so that you can all reap the benefits.

I have been messing around with how to maximise usage the "fast" storage on the phone. Right now I am using a heavily rewritten version of the 30datafix script that is floating around on the forums here. It accomplishes basically the same thing, although it links ALL directories and files from /data/data to /datadata EXCEPT /libs and /lib (Gameloft games use libs for some reason). Simply leaving behind the lib folder saves enough space to comfortably install ~150 applications. I haven't noticed any appreciable performance loss for doing so; things still start fast, save fast and close fast. I have attached the script to this post, but please take not that it does NOT remove the symlink located at /data/data OR copy the data from /datadata to the data partition. Hopefully this is something that can be integrated into the ROM from the start so that everyone can reap the benefits.
On a similar note, I have symlinked the /system/lib folder to /data/local/lib. I have saved ~60mb from my /system partition by doing so, and I have not noticed any slow down or stuttering while accessing the SD card (i.e. playing music and using other applications at the same time). If we did this from the start, we could remap the MTD partitions to provide an extra 50mb or so to the /datadata partition at the cost of a ~200mb system partition. I've seen this done before on another ROM, but I don't remember which.

Naturally, if I'm wrong about there being no appreciable performance loss for writing the lib files onto SD instead of NAND feel free to correct me, but at present I feel that this is the best utilisation of my phones's resources.


I hope, and I'm confident, Krarvind will take note of this for the future release.
Isn't it?

Maps / Navigation consistently crashes in last version of this ROM. What can I do? I tried "clear data" but it didn't help... Any ideas?

I find this workaround:
Try to access first in maps, search a destination then select navigation. So navigation app should start correctly.
I also had same problem, only in 3.3, but i solved with this workaround.
Hope you solve, bye

    Slim ICS v2.7 - Stable
    IMPORTANT NOTE: :
    Starting with 2.7 I am forming a common base for galaxy variants, so every user needs to flash the Slim_ICS_Base_2.7 and their device essentials, so a I9000 user has to flash the Slim_ICS_2.7_I9000_Essentials as well, if you don't your system won't boot. I am doing this so i can make it easier on my side and allow users of vibrant and captivate to become Slim.

    • Smaller but common base for galaxy S variant phones
    • Modded Market where paid apps work ( if it doesn't, try this, manually push it in system/app, set permissions, reboot)
    • Modem provided in Essentials - it will leave your modem alone if there is one already.
    • Introducing ASS ( Advanced Slim Settings) - thanks to Roman and AOKP team

    Market Workaround at 182 DPI:


    • Use this Vending.apk if the inbuilt one doesn't allow paid apps.

      or
    • Change to 240 dpi, reboot, clear market cache, and verify that all apps are seen ( if you can't see any at 182 dpi), then change it to 182 dpi and don't clear cache. All apps will show up until you clear cache next time.
      or
    • Buy LCD Density Modder Pro. Easily allows to change DPI and downloads a modded multi dpi marketplace.

    Memory Issue related to Apps, See here for a possible fix
