I usually don't test out AOSP roms, but I'll give this one a shot. I hope that I can get good battery life.

Oh if only somebody could fix the low recording volume when shooting video, it's the only aosp bug left that affects me! Anyone test it out on this rom yet?

Awesome!

think I found a bug...with nova launcher, I usually have long press menu key to trigger Voice Search.. now it only brings up Google Search. Can't get it back to normal.

Click to collapse

That's not a bug... it's mapped to Google Now, which IS Voice Search... You can remap it to the regular Voice Search in Interface => General => Hardware Keys

Change Long press Menu to Voice Search

Can't turn on Bluetooth at all on mine via dirty flash from the first 4.2.1 beta.

do you really NEED them? Honestly, if there's a setting in a ROM to turn off the backlight for the capacitive buttons, i usually turn them off. It's not like it's something difficult to remember.... left is menu, right is back..... plus, it looks quite sleek having them off.

Dude.. No I DON'T need them and could care less if they light up or not... I was reporting that the change log has a fix listed that isn't fixed... Why respond to my post like that? Keep it to yourself next time...

    what are the chances of having "halo" added this weekend?

    Would also like to see halo added to this great ROM. Would only make it better IMO.
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    So I'll go ahead & spill the beans -- we've been testing Halo internally & it's making the rounds in our code review. I can almost guarantee it will get merged at some point in the near future. It will have some slim-only modifications done to offer a few extra things.

    Not going to say too much, but I'm adding a "big" feature on top of Halo myself that I'll get started on this weekend & next week (vacation!). That said, we're pretty anal about code quality & while I'm sure PA has done an excellent job, we always modify features we borrow for slim and co-opt them in our own way. So it definitely won't be in this weekly, but there are some Slim devs very excited about this and it's getting its share of internal attention.

    Hats off to the PA team for yet another innovative & brilliant feature!!

    Just to break the 4.3 silence...

    4.3 beta 2 for d2att/d2tmo will be released tomorrow with our automated weeklies. I'll be starting a new thread for it so stay tuned for that. This thread will effectively be retired and all 4.3 discussions should be sent to the new one (which I'll link).

    4.3 is very stable and very fast for the d2att, I think you guys will be very happy. All Slim features have been ported over with even more bugfixes from issues we didn't even know we had in 4.2.2 but were found through rigorous testing.

    Is it generally true that whatever bugs cyanogenmod has, that slim bean will also have? Or is slim bean more stable than cyanogenmod?

    Sent from my Nexus 7
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    Yes and no. Slim uses (like most/almost all AOSP based non-nexus device roms) CyanogenMod's device repositories. These repos consist almost entirely of upstream code and in the case of this device specifically, qualcomm and their code aurora forum branches.

    So there is and always will be what a lot of people have coined as upstream issues (bluetooth, camera, call hang up freezes, audio glitching, etc). Issues between our hardware and libraries that is in a constant state of development. The difficult thing about these issues is because we're only provided binary blobs instead of actual source, our hands are tied until those binaries are updated for new versions of android or (again in our case) qualcomm updates their chipset branches. As for the device level code that qualcomm provides, I would say that it is beyond 99.99% of XDA's "developers" -- especially considering most devs/ROMs on XDA contain little to no original code or features and that a lot of ROM authors are actually just chefs, cherry picking other people's commits with slight changes here & there to make the code work together. Lately we've been calling them kitchen sink ROMS, since some people are just throwing everything in but the kitchen sink, regardless of how it affects device speed or stability.

    Any and every feature you add has the potential to introduce new instabilities and problems. Pick your poison, really. Though I'd like to think we do a pretty damn good job of testing and reviewing all our code before it's merged in github, let alone release to you guys. We have a strict gerrit code review process where in each commit lives for review while we test on all our supported devices. One thing you won't see in our source, which you definitely can't say for most other ROMs, is commits with messages like "Oops!" or "Derp!". That is a very telling sign that the ROM you're going to flash has "developers" who are just pushing broken and buggy code to the github before really testing it themselves and have no actual development experience themselves.

    When I put on my typical user hat, that kind of thing is very scary and I stay away from those kinds of ROMs.

    Build 4.1 update

    SlimBean 4.2.2 build 4.1

    I know we normally don't do this kind of thing, but given the circumstances with the CM display updates and the fact that new kernels would not be compatible with build 4, we pushed an update to address that. You shouldn't have to do a full wipe to upgrade from 4 to 4.1. Obviously if you have nutty issues then wipe, reproduce & let me know.

    Changes:
    • Display and Audio CAF updates (CM)
    • Loads of kernel updates
    • SlimIRC nickname pop-up fix
    - Download build 4.1

    I've also been providing you guys with an "addon" kernel. It's based entirely off CM's stock kernel with a few extras. The build 4.1 addon kernel has the following:
    • Latest CM changes as of 04/20
    • Minimum 192mhz frequency
    • Added governors: wheatley, lulzactive, dancedance
    • USB fastcharge
    • Vibration control (Settings -> Performance -> Vibration Strength)
    • Faux sound control
    • morfic/trinity colors
    It's a kernel for people who don't want anything too fancy, just a little something extra.

    - Download build 4.1 addon kernel

    The source is on my github here. Thanks to ktoonsez and GideonX!
