Nice to hear from you again
Well, I reflashed Slim and that didn't fix my problem. But after rebooting my phone 1 time, now I can't even boot into Slim. It gets stuck at the splash screen and doesn't go anywhere.
I had just flashed to this rom from MIUI, since I felt out of date and wanted something new. Looks great, decided to run the GO Launcher instead because I like having my own custom homescreen with widgets, and I tried installing Swype again since it's my preferred keyboard.
... Only, it won't open. In fact, no keyboard loads on any application. Zedge, browsers, SMS, nothing. I can't get a keyboard to display at all, which means I can't type. This is a major setback. How do I even fix this, or should I just chalk it up as a major bug and try another rom instead?
...Not really a bug since you are the first. So you didn't factory reset or format /system did you?
If you meant prior to flashing the rom, yes, I did. And it was working fine up until I tried activating Swype in the settings menu. Prior to that, the Android keyboard was functioning at least, but after enabling Swype, it would simply bring up the "choose keyboard" in the notification panel, which I could select and try to choose one, but it'd just close it back to the notification panel and still not actually display any keyboards, no matter what was selected.
Did you restore the app with data? Else I figure you need to give the keyboard a min to load after you select it.
Titanium Backup. But I only selected to restore the app, I believe. And I wouldn't have expected it to make it so not a single keyboard works. None of them load, at all. Even if I select one and leave it alone for a while, it never shows up.

So, I've been on Slim since 3.6 and I'm on 4.2 now using the stock kernel. Recently I've started seeing this "Low on space" notification. I searched this thread and found a post with a few replies that describes the same issue here:
http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27678214&postcount=2322
I havev uninstalled some old apps that I don't use very often and I've been moving some apps that support App2SD over to the card and the notification might go away for a day or two, but then shows up again. I've found in other searches to "clear cache" on some of the apps that seem to keep large amounts of data while using them like Facebook, email, browser, etc, and I've been cleaning those out as well but still see the notification. I also found in searches to delete MMS messages with photos/videos attached as those tend to fill up the too small datadata folder as well. Is there a way to see what the content of the datadata folder is (assuming that is the issue which I think it is)?
Any other ideas or fixes that might gain me a little more time before I decide to take the plunge over to the "Slim Bean" thread? I used to have a backup cappy that I could "play with" and install the latest cutting-edge ROMs to try out while still keeping my trusty Slim ICS but that phone finally died (water damage, I think - not too much flashing -- hah).
You can use a root explorer type of app (like solid Explorer or es file explorer) and navigate to /datadata folder and take a look at what's there.
As for Slim Bean Powered its still early development but (I think) stable for every day use for most.

I do have ES File Explorer and I looked in the /datadata folder and see numerous files. Most look current to match my current apps. I tried using ES FE to check the size of the /datadata folder bylong pressing on the /datadata folder and choosing Properties but it said the folder had 0 folders and 0 files when it obviously has content in it. Using Root Explorer app, I opened /datadata and it showed 158.91MB used and 13.09MB free. HOWEVER, I did find another "datadata" folder inside /datadata (so /datadata/datadata) which appears to have the same content. I'm not that food with "symlinks" and whatnot so that may be a true folder.
In any case, I'm going through the items one by one to find the ones that are multi-MB in size to see if they are still valid, installed apps to see if I still need them or can clean up the files/cache settings of each.
EDIT: So, I just found that my "android.providers.media" folder was 19MB so I went and cleared data on it and the low space notification went away immediately. I recently moved lots of images and video off my internal SD to the external SD and when I looked in the old media DB, the old references were still in there. Once I rebooted, the same media folder was down to under 1 MB. I'll wait until a full rescan is done but I think that's going to "clean up" a lot of the issue there.
Swype-user here. I haven't come across this problem, been on slim since 3.8. Try uninstalling the restored Swype and re-downloading/installing...

If you go to settings-data, there's a built in data monitor (new feature of Android 4.0), you can set a warning and a shut off, by sliding the horizontal colored bars on the graph. You can also set your billing start date.

Factory reset, format /system. Then flash Device Specific and THEN flash common. I'm assuming you where coming from another ICS rom
