[ROM][P93x][SU640][Unofficial]SlimBean4.2.2 build 8

[lordcheeto03]

Introducing SlimBean for the P93x and SU640. This is Android version 4.2.2. This build is unofficial, and as such, is not supported by the Slimroms dev team.



About ROM
1. To read more about SlimBean, check out their website: www.slimroms.net
2. Built from SlimBean source using the CM device tree.
3. Stock CM kernel on build 8+
4. For a full list of features, see here.
5. SlimBean changelog can be found here
6. This ROM requires a modified DPI play store. Please read the instructions below.

Installation Instructions
1. Place ROM on SD card.
2. Boot to recovery
3. If coming from other ROMs or from SlimBean v3.x, wipe data, cache, dalvik, and system before flashing. If upgrading from a previous version of SlimBean 4.2+, simply wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the zip.
4. Flash ROM
5. Flash gapps

**Important note: Gapps are not included with this ROM. Although there is a slim-gapps and other extras listed on the Slimroms website, I have had no luck getting them to function correctly. It wouldn't hurt to try them; the worst thing that could happen is you would have to re-flash the ROM. If it works for you, let me know. Otherwise, to get around this, I flash the standard gapps package first, then the modded multi-DPI play store found in I hope it really goes without saying, but be sure you are using the correct version of gapps and the multi-DPI play store; which is 4.2+.

Credits
Thanks to the SlimRoms team for the permission to use their source and release to the community; HO!NO! for allowing me to use his kernel source for v3.1.0 and 3.1.2; thomas.raines and Team FahQ for the use of the LZ kernel; tdmcode for offering his knowledge and expertise; and x0dus for helping me get it ready-enough for initial release. If I have left anyone out, it's most certainly not intentional; just let me know and I'll add you to the list!

Downloaded, but couldn't get openpdroid to patch correctly so waiting to try it out. Will give feedback once that's all fixed.

Re: [ROM] [P93x] [Unofficial] SlimBean

Running since yesterday. So far, real good. Knock on wood. No bsod, no random reboots, bluetooth, wifi, network all work fine, no glitches so far. Started with a clean install. Gets a slight bit warmer than Ho!No!'s FT9, but nothing crazy. Battery is not throwing any red flags with crazy drainage yet.

There will be some BSOD's and random reboots. I woke up this morning to a dead battery, even though it was on charge all night; it had BSOD'd while I was asleep and drained completely. I am working to resolve them, but no real ETA.

Are you saying that's a problem on my end or with OpenPdroid?

I'll keep an eye on the thread. Thanks for the heads up. I'll report back with any issues that might arise.

My apologies. It is nothing on your end. It is with the patcher provided by pdroid / openpdroid. I just don't use a ROM until I can get it working. I love denying permissions with it.

Weird, it reported GMail as not compatible with this rom..

What gapps did you use? I haven't had any luck using slim-gapps. I'm personally using 20121011 gapps with the modded DPI play store that I linked to in the OP. Again, I've had no luck using the modded play store that slim provides. No specific reason I'm using that particular version of gapps, just that I haven't downloaded a newer version since it came out. Flash gapps, then the modded play store and everything should work as it's supposed to.

I know the problem is with the LCD density that is set in build.prop; the Nitro's original density is 320, but build.prop sets it to 241. The original play store doesn't like that; hence the reason a modded DPI store is required. You can change it and there wont' be a need to use a modded play store. I mean it doesn't have any adverse effects to set it back, but the ROM will look completely different.

Got another BSOD last night while sleeping. Got a last_kmsg, now to learn how to read and understand what they tell me.

Downloading, will try it out later today, i ll report later, should be awesome, love HO!NO!'s Hyper Sonic Kernel

Love the rom, but big problem for me is that, most of my apps arent compatible with this rom ... cant load them from play store ... any idea ?

Android Keyboard is broken on my phone. I've tried Fixing Permissions and that didn't seem to help any, I'm going to do some research on this and see if it isn't something I can fix myself but if anyone has an idea on how to fix this I'd love to hear them.

edit- After installing Hackers Keyboard, I was able to bypass the message completely. If anyone else has this issue they can download the keyboard here.

Did you use the modded play store i linked to? A lot of your apps will report as incompatible unless you use that play store.

I don't recall having any problems with the aosp keyboard, but I also flashed my TiBu update.zip after the initial boot as well; which included my previously set-up SwiftKey Flow. But i will try it on a clean flash to try and reproduce the problem.

EDIT: I tried reproducing the problem with the Android Keyboard and I didn't have any problems. I'm not saying you didn't, I was just unable to recreate the problem. What was the message it was giving you?

No biggie. I understand it's a little different than other ROMs in that sense. I should probably make that section a little more visible; I actually fought with that same exact problem for about 3 days before I realized why Gmail and various other apps were saying I had an incompatible device.

Also, if anyone can point me where to get the correct vendor proprietary files for the su640 - if they're different from the p930 files that is - I will try to get a build posted later tonight.

Has anyone tried Google talk on this? I Have been having audio issues on other cm10 ROMs.

I use Google talk, but I don't use the audio portion; what problems are you having?

During video chat I can hear the other person fine, but they can't hear me.

Last time it worked for me was when I was using full throttle ROM.
