.pngs actually doesn't have to do something with RAM (Correct me if I'm wrong)

You could try lowering the font size, that's what makes it even more smooth.


directly or indirectly smaller images reduce RAM consumption and smaller launcher reduces RAM consumption too and this make the phone lighter and more responsive.
Also smaller dock pngs makes the phone faster.

and like you said smaller font size in framework make the phone faster too (but don't know about RAM consumption)



PS: this is maybe non related here but png's from Android 4+ like SGS4 or such have higher resolution than ours but its size is smaller than the ones we mod in our themes, this is why heavy themed roms lags a lot if you don't saturate the rom with performance/memory scripts, and at the end when we use SGS4 themed roms and such we are running heavy themes than the original high-end phones (with smaller resolution and smaller specs phones) :eek:

One more thing missing, calendar. I have downloaded business calendar from play store but it states that I have to choose calendar, but i cannot see anyone. In google account synchronization also is not calendar for sync.

Please, what is solution for it?

Thanks.

take calendar.apk from cm7 then push it to system/app n set permissions then reboot. use root explorer or something else.

Agree, I would add calendar and clock and remove other "less used" like htmlviewer, picotts and stk.

This happens also if I don't make any change in any file...
I tried installing CM9's framework-res but nothing, tried with -f(orce-all) while recompiling, nothing, tried without decompiling sources, only res, nothing... What should I do? :(

EDIT: in italian, white it says "Impossibile trovare il file specificato" means "Can't find specified file"

Sent from me. You don't need to know more. (Or do you?)

This is the stock settings app.No changes have been made.

What changes did you make? That's the reason for not properly recompiling.:(

WTF? You tried installing Cm9's framework-res? Just what are you trying to do?
Also, @-Anderson-, did you make any release? What's the changelog?

In case you didn't get it, by 'installing CM9's framework-res' i meant writing
apktool.bat if framework-res.apk
in cmd where framework-res.apk is Cm9's one... With some system apps of some roms it strangely worked... :cowboy:
Btw how can I succesfully decompile it?

Thanks for the update :)

I think tts folder (6,15MB) is no more needed.

And what about add calendar and clock? the original slim rom includes calendar, I think this two apps are essential.

Also thanks mathm2013, the link of slim gapps is working again :good:

EDIT:
slim gapps could be more slim since people only want it for the play store. (also, for example there is an google calendar sync app but there is no calendar app in the rom :D)

Check at post #91, there's the output I got. I thought it was AndroidManifest.xml, also @Blaze said me via Whatsapp he thought it was the AndroidManifest, but the error is here also without making any change to any file... Please I need help... Can I try with another settings.apk, like original CM7's or AOSP's one? Thanks in advance ;)

EDIT: @-Anderson-, great choice to replace Cooliris gallery with QuickPic! Thanks for this rom, I think it's perfect for a low-end device ;)

    SLIM CM7

    Tired of Themed roms and bloatware? Tired of CM7 based,heavily modded roms? Want something Fast,Stable,Lite and Bareboned but still enjoy Cm7?


    Here is your answer for all those questions--> SLIM CM7

    Code:
    /*
     * Your warranty is now void.
     * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
     * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
     * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
     * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
     */


    I was inspired by this thread to make it for our ace-i too :) I made this for my personal use but I thought I might share it with you guys too since our device doesn't have a lite rom based on Cm7.

    There's nothing special about this ROM.It can be used with any script like Adrenaline Engine or PurePerformances Mode or Fly-on script to boost your performance higher.This is just the first build.Will try to make this even better.But I won't be adding any fancy mods.I will try to add some simple mods in future builds.

    Use this ROM and decide what is best for you.BUT, their SIZE speaks for them ! It is only 62 mb,It is based on biletv3's RC4 CM7.

    Ram consumption is very Low.It is rock-solid and good for Multitasking and general use :)

    Do not install Gapps.Install only the apps you need.

    Bloatware has been removed as much as possible.It is very stable too.Give me suggestions on making this even better (if you want any app added or removed).I will try to add more roms to the slim series in future if you people want them.

    All the rightful credits are in the second post.

    All the downloads are in the third post.

    I really hope this rom will be useful.

    Finally,I know this is very simple to make and anyone can do it;I just wanted to share and help out some people who would really want this.:good:

    Features:​


    • Reduced the ROM Size to 53MB
      [*]Ad-free by patching HOSTS File
      [*]Rooted
      [*]Added Quickpic.Removed Gallery 3D.
