(Q) What would it take for slimics

[sy224048]

I was on the galaxy s2/3 forums and I found alot of slim and basic roms, aka slimics and slimbean. I'm very interested in getting a Rom that could potentially be 60mb, or maybe 70mb due to our qHd display. What would it take to begin porting or building one from source?

But it's amazing how these guys on the galaxy series and even the hox have managed to get roms so small.

I understand how bloated sense is, and every single rom I'm talking about is aosp based.

Nothing? Nobody has any experience with this stuff?

Take a look at the hypernonsense threads. They are pretty small. That was 1 of the main goals of the original dev to get those Rom fingerprints as small ad possible.

And most of that size reduction is just stripping out apps so the user can add only what he or she wants to to.

Hyper NonSense also stripped out Rosie and all most Sense UI framework, essentially leaving it as a defacto AOSP rom (even though it was still Sense at it's core) That removed a good amount of size, but the bulk of the small size was that it came with just the bare essentialls for it to boot. If you wanted SMS, you had to add the SMS app you wanted. Etc etc etc

That said, it worked great. I loved that ROM for several months.

Check codename Lungo. I have not tried it but probably is what you are looking for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1930403.

Hi,

I use Codename Lungo since very recently. I like it so far. I enjoy the fact that you can chose your own apps via packages.

Any other light ROMS? I'm mainly looking for battery life and not too much gimmik.

Best ROM

The best and lightest rom I ever used and belive me i tried them all it's hypernonsense.It keeps the good sense camera , it's light, I ususaly have 300 MB RAM free, the battery life it's the best.I usualy get 2 days with 3,6-4 hrs of sceen time.
My settings are :2G only , minimum brightness , data disabled, wifi off when phone is sleeping , autosync every 30 min.
I liked albino's and bruce ROM too but there are still bug's , and MHL isn't working.
Worst ROM's for performance and battery were Sense 4.x ROM's but i liked the interface and customizations.
Sense 3.6 are a little lighter but still eat the battery and slow the phone.
Hypernonsense just flyes and has all the features.
