An unofficial SlimBean build for S4 Active (I9295)

build 20140316-2010
SlimRoms: http://slimroms.net/

  • device makefiles and kernel originally by LeJay, modified by me to work with Slim
  • sources unmodified from SlimRoms github
  • built by me

DISCLAIMER
  • UNOFFICIAL build, so complain to me, not SlimRom devs
  • I nor SlimRom devs are responsible if something unwanted happens
  • I am not actively developing this, fixes and updates might or might not come and will not come fast

Credits
SlimRoms: http://slimroms.net/
LeJay for kernel and device stuff

Bugs
  • Recording audio: second mic not working (how to test this? :) )
  • Camera might hang. Fix: reboot phone. Apparently this is a bug with Quallcom cameras... nothing i can do about it
  • Google Drive FC's
  • You tell me :)

How?
grab the rom: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0BzJzDM42pkRvZzZlOEJxV0ZNZzQ&usp=sharing
grab gapps: http://slimroms.net/ and Downloads -> Old releases -> Addons 4.3

flash in CWM (yes, CWM or similar needed)
flash gapps
report bugs if new one found

SU: make sure to enable root in Settings->Developer options->Root access

Sources for kernel, device files and roomservice.xml

Thanks again for a great Rom.
I am positively surprised about the camera pic quality.
Using focal app. Top :)

Seems to work fine. Thank you.

Any issues with root though?

I came from stock rooted. Formatted and installed and not sure how to get root back

Possibly, i haven't confirmed this bug myself, it was posted on SlimRom forums. Actually didn't even know there was two mics :D. But the kernel sources are the same with CM and my AOSP build so either this bug is in those roms too or it's Slim specific bug.

Seems to work fine. Thank you.

As alirey ointed out, just install SuperSu. But when i had Slim installed it did have root, so i'm not sure why you didn't have it. Did you check the setting in Settings->Development-> root access (or something like that...)? It should be set to Apps or Apps&ADB

One question.

Hmm, haven't tried Full Screen. Maybe i'll install latest build with dualboot to check some things out.

Alright, installed latest build as dualbootable rom. Some testing with camera:

- first try with HDR result was hanged camera app and Cannot connect to camera when trying to start camera app. Logcat spits out some streaming errors as mm-camera-daemon tries to connect to camera, to no avail.
- reboot and second try. HDR works out of the box :eek:. Turning HDR on and off works, however Gallery FC's when taking a pic with HDR :(. Some outofbounds exception in logcat, related to decodeYUV422P. Hmm, haven't seen this with AOSP, but haven't actually tested camera in AOSP very thoroughly

All in all, there's stuff to do to get Active's camera working reliably.

Oh and the latest build is uploading, built yesterday

Just made a dirty flash. Everything seems fine. Thanks again... :thumbup:

Can you tell me for what GalaxyS3Settings.apk is?
I have deleted it but came back with the ROM.

It seems to be part of msm8960-common: https://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_device_samsung_msm8960-common.
Meaning it's part of SnapDragon device stuff. I don't know what it actually does, but apparently in Cyanogenmod it adds some additional options to settings perhaps? Propably with Slim also...

it doesnt boot it just bootloops.i followed the directions..... i would like to run this ROM.... thanks

As nasaprinsloo pointed aout, did you do format? Factory reset might not be enough. To be sure, format /system, /data and /cache manually (maybe dalvik-cache also, and /preload).

Also, i assume you have CWM installed?

Personally, i've had no problems with installations. When coming from some other rom, facory reset and then flash. When flashing newer version, just dirty flash and it works.

Just fyi

With normal tw my useable home screen area was extremely small. As well as the apps list could hold prob 50 apps. I liked it very much (the small size)

Using Nova launcher, back to normal full screen usage. With standard size icons.

    That took longer planned. But anyways, been testing some things with the camera etc, results:
    • sub-1080p video recording fixed :). This bug has been with every rom i built since i started tinkering with Android. And now it's fixed... yay :D
    • HDR still FC's when taking picture, but now i've located the code responsible for the crash. I'll look into CM how it's done there, hopefully it can be fixed
    • Moved all props to github, now they come when syncing with Slim roomservice.xml
    • Included all latest pre-CM11 kernel changes
    • Google Drive FC's. Seems that's not a new problem with Slim users, but no good explanation found yet.
    • tuned some audo volumes etc. so check video results. Also compare picture quality. Seems good to me though...

    Build Slim-jactiveltexx-4.3.build.2.1-UNOFFICIAL-20140313-1814.zip uploading now.

    Another build Slim-jactiveltexx-4.3.build.2.1-UNOFFICIAL-20140316-2010.zip:

    • HDR doesn't crash the camera anymore. However, looking at logcat tells me pictures propably aren't hdr, seems Active's camera parameters need more tweaking

    Same here... only problem i had was the app Google Drive... anything else rocks like a charm - quick as a jaguar to.
    Damn good work!

    Hmm, i'll have to do a repo sync and make a new build when i get some time. Currently trying to get CM11 to boot and phone is in development mode all the time :). BTW, is you install the gapps from SlimRoms page or generic gapps? The logcat you sent looked like something google related is not installed properly.
