camera only records upto 3MP and video camera issues. will post a fix when i have it ready. Rest should work. Device and vendor folders from CM10, so specific errors would be common.
When you open System Settings you will notice quicklinks has now been replaced by ASS which is based on Codenamedroid settings layout, these give you access to further customise/control your experience in a much more manageable way. The options are as follows:

Other Options
Browser User Agent:
Now available from within the stock browser is the ability to set your preferred user agent e.g. desktop so that you no longer have to visit mobile sites before you can request the desktop version.
Accessible via: Browser -> Settings -> Advanced -> User agent
Kernel:
The kernel being used in Slim Bean is now a compiled version of Fluxi XX.03 (non S2W) and in order to control individual kernel settings such as BLN and CPU/votages it's recommended to download and use xxTweaker. You can also use other apps such as Voltage Control, Set CPU, NSTools or similar but xxTweaker was written by myfluxi himself.
New options have been added to the camera menu similar to those available in Slim ICS. When you start up the camera, press on the settings icon followed by the 3 dot menu icon and you will now see:
Storage: Allows you to choose between USB Storage/SD card/Internal Storage for where your pictures will be stored
Power shutter: Take the photo with the power button
Focus mode: Choose between Face detect/Fixed/Macro/Infinity/Auto
Timer mode: Allows you to set a timer before the picture is taken
Burst mode: Allows you to take multiple photo's per shutter press (5/10/15/20)
Ignore the colours in screenshots Airdroid messed them up.
Other useful information: Links, anomalies (aka not known bugs) and anything else
Changelogs of work in progress is contained at the website below. Please make sure you read known issues before submitting bug reports
- Other anomalies found and reported: I will add to this list so we can keep track
Some pop up selections give random text as the headers, cancel button is tiny and ok button is replaced with "Pressing the volume rocker up/down will wake the device". This has so far been seen when setting custom carrier label and setting slider shortcuts Fixed in 2.3
Phone answer slider isn't centred for below 240dpi: krarvind is currently looking for a better fix for this so it's currently off centre if you're using below 240dpi Fixed in 2.4
Stock kernel - Unable to change USB computer connection from storage menu (MTP/PTP/UMS) as always reverts straight back to MTP
Camera/Gallery - Power shutter causes FC Fixed in 2.5
- Miscellaneous
For those that don't know camera is merged with gallery in Jellybean so any reference to gallery2 or gallerygoogle also refers to camera
Gallerygoogle.apk which gives 3MP but allows for Picasa sync has now been moved to the OTA app
For themers: power widget in notification dropdown now uses different naming so old mods won't work e.g. stat_2g3g_off.png, stat_2g3g_on.png etc
My First impressions are that SlimJB is very fluid. After initial setup, have had no problems. (Apart from the standard ones, camera, etc)
I havent had time to do any extensive testing, but I have run some benchmarks, so I can have an idea of differences (if any) between the two roms, running on MY phone.
I know that no amount of benchmarking can account for real world usage, everybodies mileage varies, everybodies phone is different, some benchmarking apps havent yet been tweaked for JB's CPU usage (because of the higher UI priority), and that the answer to the universe is 42.
I'm just posting this info here in case someone is curious about this.
I'm not telling anyone to use SlimICS, SlimJB or to DualBoot their phones.
My Current setup is:
Made full backup in CWM, also backed up EFS, copied up to PC
1st boot slot: SlimICS 4.2 + common, after wiping EVERYTHING. Kernel: Siyah 4.0.1
2nd boot slot: SlimJB 2.1 + common, after wiping 2nd rom data/cache.
Upon first boot in both roms, I only installed the benchmarking apps from the apk's I have on my ExternalSD, and made sure stuff like rotation, etc were all disabled, and that airplane mode was enabled.
I rebooted the phone before each benchmark, and waited 2 minutes before unlocking the phone and running the app. I noted the results, closed the app, ran it again, and averaged the two scores, rounding to closest integer.
I did this first for SlimICS, then for JB.
Since both roms are "stock" with no changes, I am using standard as-is configurations.
Averaging all the percentage differences gives an overall score of SlimICS=100%, SlimJB=91%
Although, I do know that Antutu, Realpi and GLBenchmark have actually taken into account the CPU differences in JB, I will only regard those results as final, which gives SlimICS=100%, SlimJB=102%
And now I'll be testing other stuff over the next week or two. I'll only report back if I find something that really bugs me.
