i dont know what you have removed from the OS that makes it slim, but it is very buggy,
buggs donot mean just crashes, (because there are none, its very stable) but this one is a battery guzzler. i went from 100% charge before sleeping to 50% and reducing fast when i woke up. its been 1 hour since and the battery is already at 36%.
i checked the usage and it shows Gallery as being the culprit. 22% usage. android system 18%. WiFi 15%.there needs to be some look into the rom because i have tried Slim ICS many times but the bettery drain always puts me off.

There have many users using this mate and get excellent battery. you have to do a clean install that means wipe data and format system in mounts and storage. Never had a complaint about bad battery in all 7 devices i support. Don't be so quick to make dramatic statements.

Yeah just make sure that you have done a clean install.
This ROM is one of the most battery friendly ROMs I've tried.
I actually find that there's no need of flashing a custom kernel since it already performs fast enough for my daily use.

Agreed with above. There is no email addon within the removed addons.

you will need to update to 3.4 first. open ASS, scroll down to OTA, apps, email, download the 1.2mb apk and run it

i did this on the weekend but kept having authentication issues. I went back to 3.3 and my hotmail authenticated in seconds.

not sure if anyone else was having problems with hotmail but i will try again later this week when i have more time

Did you also download exchange? I believe email app needs exchange app as well. I could be wrong.

Thank you for your useful post. I would have just assumed that email would have been packaged within the removed addons.

Unless you're using an exchange based service I don't think so. I am using an IMAP enabled email (no exchange) and everything works fine.

Sometimes @home
Noob question coming from BuglessBeast: Slim is super fast BUT I'm really in need of Dutch system language since I get news and navigation only in English. Is there any way to add Dutch afterwards with a flashable zip or is this too deep in the system?

This ROM now in the UX GRAPH!

Now much easier to understand! :)

You can hover over the graph-lines to see which thread it is, or if you are using a phone, tap on the graph-line. http://goo.gl/IOpOE

Steeper is better (longer lines just mean longer threads).

    OUTDATED POST: Follow the first post link for detals.

    While there is no recovery image provided with v2.0, i recommend trying out the TWRP (everything touch screen) or CWM 5.0.2.3 ( better confirm menus)
    TWRP Recovery:
    http://www.multiupload.com/IQJ2UOE90N

    CWM 5.0.2.3:
    http://www.multiupload.com/ASP3QVH75F

    if you want to get back to 5.0.2.0
    CWM 5.0.2.0:
    http://www.multiupload.com/M0EMWWMOMZ

    Just flash the above in recovery.

    Default is 182 DPI ( use 240 for any incompatible apps or check here for market workaround)

    Slim ICS:
    Fresh/Clean Installation Instructions:
    Pre-Requisites: need to have CWM recovery or TWRP recovery installed.
    • Enter Recovery
    • Recommended: do a nandroid back up
    • Wipe data/factory reset
    • optional: format system in mounts and storage for extra clean install
    • select slimICS_vX.X.X.zip to install and wait for it to finish
    • optional: select addon.zip and face_unlock.zip to install and wait for it to finish
    • reboot to system.

    Coming from another 4.0.3 Rom :
    • A simple wipe cache and Install the zip file should do it.

    Once rebooted, you will most likely see a blank screen. Press the soft menu key and preferences to customize you zeam launcher.
