Freenode IRC: #SlimSensation

This is an unofficial SlimBean ROM compiled for the Sensation. The ROM is experimental. Please include logcats, kmesg and dmesg when reporting problems. If you don't know how, search.
I am not associated with SlimBean, but I liked the idea of a small ROM and some of the tweaks. It's built using Team-Hydra's source and kernel; that includes Albinoman887's and Bruce2728's work.

A massive, massive thanks to Albinoman and Bruce for their work on bringing the Pyramid to JB and Team-Hydra for supporting it.
Arco also deserves a line -he fixed the video glitches/tearing along with so many other fixes.

No disrespect if your name is not on here and it should be. Let me know and I'll be sure to add it.

Bugs:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Halo lag
- DSP Manager (process randomly dies)
- Video autofocus (normal picture taking mode works fine)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To do:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- libwvm.so
- Port over CAF MSM kernel to build for Sensation.
- Fix video auto-focus
- Fix DSP Manager
- Add option to choose between Slim customisation (lockscreen handle and wallpaper)
- Refactor a few things

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FAQ:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Last App/Button mapping doesn't work:

- Settings > Interface > Hardware Keys > (Select your button) > Screen Off
- Reboot.
- Settings > Interface > Hardware Keys > (Select your button) > Last App/Your button map

My phone is getting hot!:
- Flash another kernel. (Sultan recommended)
- OC to 1.5GHz if not done so already.
- Make sure min CPU freq is above 384MHz.
- The phone will get hot while charging.

Help! My phone reboots when I turn on 'USB Storage':
This is caused by an application running on the SDCard. The phone can not kill the application so reboots, and this in turns allows you to turn on USB Storage.
A simple fix is to move all applications to internal storage.
- Go into Settings > Apps > Slide to 'ON SD CARD'
- Click on the applications with a checkbox.
- Move to Phone.
- Rinse and repeat for each application on the SD Card.

Facebook or an application is acting up:
Halo does cause issues with some applications. Try closing Halo and closing all applications through the 'Recent Apps' menu.

I can't install an APK, I can't click the install button:
Again, close Halo temporarily and try again.

(Build will be uploaded after I've compiled and tested them!)
OpenPDroid:
- OpenGL errors corrected.
- Latest kernel from Albinoman. S2W and fast-charge enabled.
- Clean source. No fixes other than wired-headset fix and OpenGL fix.
- All build.prop tweaks from ROM w/o OpenPDroid included.
- Other fixes will be added, this is more or less a test.

Without OpenPDroid:
- Fresh source.
- Reapplied all (almost all) fixes.
- Added init.d script to calibrate proximity sensor on boot.
- S2W enabled.
- Fixed 01slim init.d script. Now runs and zip aligns/fixes permission on boot.

The tweaks are listed on their site, if I tweak anything myself I'll let you know... (Link in post #1)
I'll just list the apps left without GApps, or you can check the last screenshot. Whichever works.

1. Browser
2. Calculator
3. Clock
4. Dev Tools
5. Downloads
6. Gallery
7. Music
8. Contacts
9. Phone/SMS/Contacts
10. Torch
11. Slim Apps and tweks, including PIE (I think), Slim File Manager, HoloLauncherHD, SlimIRC and Slim Centre.

I haven't added any myself, so all tweaks are Slim tweaks or CM tweaks (since they seem to be similar). This is just a first compile to see what works, what doesn't and what needs to be fixed first.
Possibly the first big bug has to be the missing Camera... opps.

Thanks! I'll add it and see if it runs, as soon as I fix the camera.

MHL??

Do you know if MHL is working with this ROM??

I really want to use my phone to display videos in my TV via HDMI...

BTW, nice ROM!!

Going by other CM10 ROMs, it may not be. As I don't have an MHL cable; if you're willing to test it out for me I would really appreciate it!

 

[buzzboy]

Great job on the build.

Zero problems to report. All extra interface options are all working.Having used the official S3 ROM, I have to say that this is just as good.
I've attached a few extra screenshots to help wet the appetites.-(The Dark/Stock theme switch is a winner).

Thanks to the OP for the share.

Regards

 

[gururoop]

eagerly looking forward to working camera... great rom overall...

 

[haifish9999]

Will try this when I'm home. I like 4.2.2 and love Slim. Thanks man.

No problem. This is experimental though!
Logcats and dmesgs please!

I'm working on fixing things but need sleep right now... and pop tarts. If you guys find more bugs or errors let me know.

 

[pushpann]

Seems like Camera libs are broken. Camera app is installed yet doesnot appear in drawer.
I tried the camera from 16:9 mod thread, and same problem there too.

Otherwise, the ROM's pretty smooth and love the dark theme. Some tweaks available on interface menu are pretty cool. Thanks alot.

 

[Hellmanor]

I was about to release my SlimBeam, but I think I will help to fix this one...

If i was you i would ask albinoman or bruce for help getting the camera fixed on this one...pretty sure they can help you out, anyways im glad to see you delivering such a great ROM to the sensation as I'm running it right now on my replacement Samsung Galaxy S2 and its smooth as butter:good: good luck!

 

[explosivequack]

Sweep2wake isn't working, which isn't too big if a deal to me, but headphone playback isn't working (from my limited testing on YouTube and the music player)

Slim bean has been my favorite rom since the 4.2.2 version was released and I will be switching back once headphone playback is fixed, but for now back to cm10.1.

Fantastic first build keep up the good work.
