Notes on SLIM
So in case anyone wanted to try SLIM - I came from WeUI so I followed the steps on slimroms.com and worked like a snap. Also did the following:
1) Updated gps.conf to be 0.ca.pool.ntp.org
2) made my build.prop changes
3) put on Nova Launcher (making the grid 7X5)
4) switched to swiftkey x keyboard
5) installed exdialer as I missed the MIUI/WEUI dialer too much (added an ICS theme)
So far so good - with the ASS settings you can change a lot:
- change the battery (%)
- Lots of cool lockscreen mods - 4 app wheel, weather, and calendar
- tweak sound you can quickly adjust all the sounds (alarm, ring, media, etc.)
- power saving options (shut off data when phone is sleeping, etc)
- toggles and brightness in the status bar.
- lots more that I haven't played with yet.
The display is very small (like surface ics) but I'm digging it thus far. Battery life seemed good today, but needs more testing as the phone was heavily used today.
So that's about it - if you like to make the most of your display with small icons/fonts, then this is great - its pretty tight.
Also, there is an OTA app to get new roms and essentials - and missing apps - I added back in voice search, exchange and email, as well as some other apps.
Pretty good thus far - I'll run for a while ... maybe AOKP next
