My favourite. Loved it on my xperia ray, wondering how it will look on a bigger screen. Downloading now.

Enjoying it very much.

Only unusual thing is that the CWM recovery in this ROM doesn't allow me to mount the external SD card. So no back ups, installs or restores there - some of my nandroid back ups are 2GB and the SP only has 5GB of internal memory for the user...

Otherwise, working really nicely, thanks!

This rom is almost PERFECT!
I'm always a fan of slimbean ROM as I use them as my daily driver during my gt-i9100g days :p

The only problem is like what @Parkside has said, the recovery does not recognize external sd card
but that doesn't stop me from using this while waiting for CM11, because this rom is just awesome!


Thanks for this :good:

edit: found another bug,
got some problem with wifi I think, it can't detect or connect manually to wifi that is encrypted by WPA2-AES security. (that's what my windows 7 state here)
Other than that wifi is working flawlessly.

oh and also, the performance is MIND-BLOWING!

edit2: the wifi can't detect network that the encryption type that is ONLY WPA2 (does not care AES/TKIP/Whatsoever)

yay this going to be my daily driver right now woohhooo (so happy LOL)

I am not facing this issue, maybe problem in your AP.
@all who need ext sdcard in cwm, faq updated.


Sent from my C5302

change some settings on my AP and working well :good:
tested the boot.img (OP experimental) and now I can use external back in CWM.
All in all, working extremely well :laugh:

Just a question though, the internal memory seems like it is being emulated.
I found that this rom use a folder (the name of the folder is"0") as 'emulated' internal memory.

The folder is created on the root of internal memory of the phone (which I can't accessed after booting the phone)

Weird? Dunno. I believe it must have it own reason :)

That's the default folder structure since Android started having multi user capabilities. Don't worry!

All AOSP ROMs does that it emulate internal memory cm, pac, aokp & all others use folder "sdcard0/0" ad internal memory not Just "/sdcard0"
It even effects recoverys you won't be able to restore any backup stored in internal memory up from folder 0 :confused:

You can access internal memory by using any root Explorer and go to root/shell/sdcard0 you'll get your stock internal memory and you'll see folder 0 as a internal memory for aosps roms

Friend, I'm testing your ROM and so far it seems that the best is based on AOSP, Your new kernel works perfectly, and the rom is very smooth, and battery'm still doing tests and I expect a 3 charge cycles ...
Inverted GAPPS is very cool, a great ROM, my Greetings

Thx for the explaination regarding the internal memory.
Never noticed when I'm using the PAC nightly rom. Seems like I was far behind. Was using s2 but then had to use blackberry for some month, must be missing out lots of things in android world :3
Anyway, battery for me so far is about the same as stock. But the performance is much more outstanding of course.

Just amazing.I installed it now and it looks great, fast and with more features!!
Good job, and the new CMW with swipping and the fixed SD card issue is also great.Many thanks DEVS!:good:

EDIT:The selectable GAPPS installer has a bug though.When you go to the apps selection screen it flashed and vibrated for like 50 times and then the installation froze...
And with the non removable battery the only thing i could do was press the reset button which seemed to work after a few seconds.

The gapps issue must be from slimbean team itself, as the gapps is provided by them. I just use the basic slim gapps and works flawlessly for me. I never opt for AIO/aroma gapps.

Anyway, love this rom :D
