so here is the new edition with uk kernel, basically pretty much the same as before with correct sensor drivers now.
Changelog v1.3 (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here or mirror
- xavwanted's libOMX and MediaGallery.apk which seems to fix HD recording and playback
- Riley600's interactive governor fix
- callwaiting fix
- kousik's mount-o typo fix
- Mioze7Ae move /oc to /system/oc
- bootanim by helmi666
- Email.apk replacement
Changelog v1.2b (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download patch here
- fixes problems with callwaiting functionality.
Changelog v1.2a (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here
- 720P recording fix
- re-added old MediaGallery as Camera app requires it.
- there can be possible hickups with mediascanning (so you know)If you do see many FC's its a symptom of not having done factory reset, so this should indicate whether you need to do it or not.
Changelog v1.2 (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid image here
- fixed mediascanner issue
- removed old mediagallery (not supported) , now only Gallery3D available.
- removed VoiceCommands app, cpu intensive and taking much storage.
Note, due to the bug in mediascanner and decoding and on top ext2sd support, quadrant benchmarks drastically drops when ext2 is enabled, if the sdcard is not a class6 or higher.. but media decoding bug alone caused incorrect reportings, so dont be surprised when you test now.
Its a full nandroid for new and existing users. if you're using 1.1+ you do not need to WIPE settings, just restore nandroid and reboot, signatures will be recalculated and bootup takes maybe little more, but it works fine.
Patch update Changelog v1.1b (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download patch here
- HDMI added to settings menu, let me know how it works (not tested)
- different proximity sensor module (tested with z-devicetester seems better)
- facebook fix still included.
- Support for loading overclock module at startup.
- apps2ext partition support , will mount at startup if a 2nd partition is found.
its not advanced, so you need ext2/ext3 partition for now.
NOTE: Patches goes into /OpenRecovery/updates and is applied in openrecovery menu "apply update".
Changelog v1.1a (Android v2.2.1 edition) Download nandroid v1.1a link
- Based on 2.2.1 milestone framework leak
- Sync facebook is working
- Lockscreen is new (Blur like)
- see this link for framework theme's.
Changelog v1.1 (Android v2.2 edition) Download v1.1 link
- fixed: OCR camera function currently FC (crash) (Mobireader.apk added)
- fixed: Contacts apk will be replaced in next update.
- fixed: HDMI through media player
- fixed: /mnt/sdcard mount issue
If you want stock korean 2.2 with just english language and working sensors, download this nandroid dump, if you will probably need the 1.1 including recovery.apk to install this the easy way.
but else follow instructions in my other releases, and put nandroid backup into the /nandroid/openrecovery folder and restore using OpenRecovery.
See this post, if you wish to restore a stock rom, or to enable apps2sd filesystem on sdcard
Install instructions:
Make sure sdcard is visible, when you get to step 6 of instructions, or it all fails, same with restore..
A: users with stock 2.1 can proceed to step 1 in instructions.
B: users with stock SBF korean 2.2 rom , need to flash stock 2.1 and goto step 1
C: Users with 1.1+ of rom with OpenRecovery , can skip WIPE and factory reset, and a restore of the new nandroid backup included in the download link, and goto step 8 (and skip step 9 for factory reset)
root it (SuperOneClick ) - included with zip
install OpenRecovery , use included apk.
reboot phone once
copy the folder "nandroid" to root directory of your sdcard.
Make sure sdcard is not attached to pc using "mass storage share" to pc.
Run OpenRecovery app and "install Recovery".
Press Boot recovery
restore the backup "stock22xxxx"
wipe / factory reset in OpenRecovery
reboot
Issues reported by users in v1.2a:
- Radio FM volume cannot change.
- MediaGallery does not do videoplayback
Issues reported by users in v1.0:
- Radio FM volume cannot change.
- Sync account option for facebook / Twitter is not added in settings when account is configured.
- Camera language not going to change (its korean app, so not support for other langs)
- LEDS do work, its sensors that makes them go off/on (no need to report this anymore)
STATEMENT:
Please don't keep asking the following question directed to me, public or via PM;
- Can you include language XXXXXXXX .
Answer: NO
- Can you teach me how to do custom roms
Answer: NO
- will you include RTL for hebrew
Answer: NO
- will you make other roms like cyanogen,htc etc..
Answer: NO
for new users unable to write in public forums, i cannot answer all your PM's personally, as that gets to be a quite a few per day and many monthly...i am not a support central for xt720 community..i simply don't have that kind of time available.
Dexter_nlb said:
if i press camera button here (1-2 sec) it opens?
media button (the small one becide the cam button?) ? yes i see its not doing any action
from what i read now, the known accelerator driver issue + led,hdmi is 2 majors, im not sure about other issues becides the extra languages which for some seem to cause issue..
the way the launcher works is a matter of taste (seeing like 20+ android devices)
- if you're coming from stock 2.1 there is differences and more functions, but if you tweaked alot maybe less features are here, like dalvik.
- rotation is a problem if you plan alot of games with acc. functionality..
- I personally dont experience problems, except the buttons which personally i would love to fix now..
I think overall there is a positive feel about the first working release.

hi there ! is it the final version of 2.2 or still in testing process?
nice job and thank you all...
FM RADIO also missing.....
@Dexter, thank you for contacts.apk. But how to install it? After replace in /system/app it's says - It's not installed, and when i try to install it - it says: I can't be installed.
For more issues: how about light sensor, that detects when you speak on your phone?
On 2.1 when you speak touchscreen goes off and you cant press it errorly.
Thank you very much.

ok, i went back once more and flashed just 2.1 kernels from uk rom, and indeed all sensors work now.. but,but,but... no 3D accelerator is currently activated, so screen lags really alot..

edit: update - ITS WORKING!!! running with 2.1 uk release kernel , its working now, all sensors activated..

In the facebook app if you tap on "Facebook" at the top you go to the page to navigate to news feeds, friends, etc. If you hit your options button there there is a settings screen that includes preferences for how contacts are sync'd.

Yes i saw those settings, unfortunately they have no effect or bearing on the accounts.
I believe this is a bug, yet no one has confirmed or denied being able to reproduce it.
All sensors activated!!
I think smurfb deserve a little thanks, for pushing the request/idea just to try loading the old uk kernel once more, so i did and this time i fixed the problems with loading the old kernel and lib/bin required, its not much and most (2.2) korean state is kept intact..
ill do some testing after the new nandroid backup and start uploading v1.0

yes, 3d is fully functional now. I dont think it will work, but i will find a way to add the functionality..
the korean rom has only english, which im sure not many appreciate, although camera as one is used from that rom so only english is enabled.
but i will for sure try and get HDMI working..
I got FMRadio app added, does it help?
Thank you so much for making this, Dexter. We are hungry of froyo, asking for more. But you deserve to take a break
which languages does it have?
I will install it soon. can someone upload a video of it?
Hello there guys!
Please Read:
From next week, I won't have much free time, so this is something like a goodbye thread to xda community. This is maybe one of the last mods(if not the last I upload). Of course I will visit the forums every once in a while but probably I won't have much free time available to mod ROMS. Anyway. Let's see the new ROM features
Special Notes - Please Read:
This ROM is based on Final Full B928 ICS Baseband as uploaded by Broxnitas here(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793014) on xda and is using Official ICS Baseband(404029). Make perfectly sure that you have a working CWM backup, or that you have a copy of your GB amss.mbn file. Alternatively download this flashable CWM .zip that returns your phone back to GB Baseband from here(https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_kPUrNkk3T0QmRkTld5SFh5Vm8/edit?pli=1). If you use any GB based ROM while on ICS Baseband you won't have network access so keep that in mind.Also this ROM is as small as 170mb so you don't need to repartition your system by flashing step1 from official upgrade.Finally System Language is English. Change it like usual from settings(I disabled the annoying to me feature that adapts network's language).
Changes:
1) Removed lots of apps. As usual with my release,you only get a basic system. Install every app you want from PlayStore. This time Sync is perfectly working(tested it personally). Stock Browser is also there.
2) Added Volume Rocker Wake & Search Button Locks Screen
3) Updated hosts file. No more ads in free apps!
4) Added DSP Manager and Trebuchet Launcher (Official CM9 Apps)
5) Removed almost all media files (in order to save space) and disabled camera sounds.
6) Changed default CPU Governor to userspace. System seems more smooth in my opinion.
7) Added init.d (added battery and Wi-Fi network tweaks)
8) Using kamatozko boot.img for better multitasking & unlocked fps by default
9) Zipalign
10) Added Battery Percentage in status bar
11) Updated media_profiles.xml for better HD video recording quality
12) Slightly Jelly Bean themed (Added Default JB Wallpaper + Galaxy Nexus JB Boot Animation). Optionally you can also install Holo Locker from Play Store if you want a JB lockscreen.
Installation Instructions:
1) Copy ROM .zip file to your sd card
2) Boot into Recovery
3) Wipe data/factory reset
4) Advanced->Wipe Dalvik Cache
5) Install .zip from sd card
Reboot & Enjoy!
Note:
You may not need to do Wipe data/factory reset while in recovery in an attempt to keep your apps and not having to reinstall them. However, if ROM does not boot after installation complete, then this is probably the cause.
First Boot is gonna take a while. You'll even get bored But as long as you see the soft buttons light up, then everything went fine.
Download:
http://www.mediafire.com/?zreoo9noqqcrqpb
3G & data usage fix:
Only do the following if you want 3g & data plan internet usage.
Open /system/build.prop with a root explorer
change this line(number 100) from: ro.use_data_netmgrd=false to ro.use_data_netmgrd=true
I've changed this value when I was testing the ROM in order not to waste any money, since the phone gets the time from network and this costs me 1 euro!!!
Sorry for the inconvenience!
Hope you enjoy now!
Thanks To:
Giris for porting newest ics baseband to gb baseband
Broxnitas for the same reason + the actual ROM in which this mod is based on + GB amss.mbn flashable CWM .zip
eng.stk for his CM9 DSP Manager port
matt5eo for his Trebuchet Launcher mirror
kamatozko for modified boot.img
sr21 for Galaxy Nexus JB boot animation
Happy Flashing
I have a question: My device is u8800-51 and in the official ICS rom from huawei the wifi not works, so, it works in this rom?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry for my bad english.
No.

3G signal works fine in my phone.
Maybe you didn't change mobile network settings, or you have low 3g signal in the region you live.
You can more easily control your mobile network's type by doing this:
*#*#4636#*#*
>Phone Information
>Set Preferred Network Type
if you see in network type saying HSPA than your are on 3G. If it says GPRS you are on 2G.
Choose WCDMA only if you only want 3g network.
For more information on networks, read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=966172
Anyway,I just want to say that the ROM can use 3G. The problem is with your settings

....for me same problem...
I really don't know what is the cause of this.
Have you however see your network type in *#*#4636#*#* menu?
If it's HSPA it's 3g. Here it works ok. Maybe it also works ok for you also, but because framework-res.apk and systemui.apk are modded for battery percentage, maybe 3g icon in statubar somehow "broke".

I check network and it's UMTS but data network doesn't work... I'm at home, my son has the same operator and his phone has HSPA and data network are ok... may be this issue is because i didn't make wipe data/factory reset to not reinstall my apps (my previous rom is yours B927)... tomorrow i'll try to reinstall your ROM but first performing all wipe (data, factory reset, cache and cahce dalvik) and system format...
however thanks for your fantastic job (now i use your rom B927, perfect for me)

@Ironbeast to restore search button original function do the following:
open a root explorer
go to /system/usr/keylayout
open qwerty.kl as text
change: key 217 POWER WAKE
change to: key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED
Save & Reboot
Btw did you mod build.prop to change your dpi or phone model?
Cause this can cause problems with playstore
@quangcon1980 & @vispo60

didn't test it,but I think it's gonna work
give it a shoot and tell me please

Now, when i press search key, nothing appens i think it's because i haven't installed google search, that is still unsupported for my phone (this is play store say XD)
This Rom is also available for Samsung GT-I9000 variant from HERE.
There is also a port for X-Bean from GT-I9000 from HERE.
This is it folks. If you think you've seen fast, you're in for a surprise! Please NO derivative work without permission.
LANIGHT is a pure AOSP build, meaning it is NOT CM or built from CM source, so please do NOT ask for CM features. However, it does use device/hardware files from CM10 and rest from Nexus S.. so any device specific problems that is in CM may or may not be in LANIGHT. If you don't like AOSP, move on.
I will rarely post on the thread mostly because of well known reason. It is a development thread, if you can't flash or download apps(Gmail and such) from market or simpler tasks, YOU ARE spamming the thread. Help yourselves by flashing stock firmware from Kies. Remember, I can't fix stupid or lazy. Please read the whole OP and search before you start typing. There has been NO bug that i have faced since my first release except the ringtone problem(4.2)(SOULTION) which has been solved with the latest release(5.2). If you have WiFi problems, flash anything 2.0 and above or below 5.2 (For 5.2 FLASH THIS.) because there is no telling what is the issue, i didn't face that issue so i don't know unless you provide log.

Hit thanks button and/or consider small amount of donation if you think i helped.
FAQs are HERE.
Here's what you can do if you are facing battery drain problems(I put together this battery help thing back in Darkyrom website. Out-Dated but most of it still applies):
- Toggle airplane mode couple of times
- Calibrate the phone and read the guide(There are some helpful tips) OR
- use dark themes and wallpapers, avoid live wallpapers. OR

- Try a different kernel OR
- Try a different modem OR
- uninstall tw4 OR
- try fast dormancy OR
- Download Juice Defender OR
- Try search for "CSC" either on google or on here and pick the right country (Does not apply for US users) OR
- Go to "Applications / Settings / Display / Animation / No animations."
- Go to "Applications / Settings / Applications / Samsung Apps" and check "Disable"
- Go to "Applications / Settings / Location and Security" and check "Use Network", "Using GPS satellites" and "Using help of sensor" (off course "Using GPS satellites")

No reason, just a bit cautious. Will update kernel in future.
EDIT: Trying out newer kernels to see which one works and which one doesn't, use this kernel for now unless you wanna help test newer kernels.

Thanks for that. Hows the rom feel like? snappy or what?
EDIT: Not sure about the latest since he been using LVM partitioning on 08/20 onwards? I'm not sure this rom is compatible with it? If it is then its all the reason for me to support this rom till the HB exist.
EDIT EDIT: I might have to steal some of your init.d tweaks from your MIUI rom for my next version

What do you mean? Try flashing 1.0.4 datadata cappy kernel.
EDIT: Flashed this build 4 times and still no problem with wifi or kernel. Did you wipe?
yea i wiped several times, ill try kernels and modem combos again again
oh and also ext sd card wouldnt mount in USB mode only internal so im guessing its kernel related again

No, listen just flash JVT or whatever modem you used to use on your previous JB build. Why are you swapping kernels? I don't understand. Did you have this problem before?
EDIT: Also, let me know which datadata kernels work for you. I need to know for my future release.

This is an old kernel and i choosed it for cautious purposes. Please don't poke around and cause yourself problems. Flash X-Bean or CM10 or AOKP first and try this rom. May fix it.
About the Ext SD card. I don't have an External SD card to test so that's why i put in the op it's untested. Not necessarily kernel related.
i did flash a modem i used with CM10 and wifi still couldnt turn on, and USB mount of ext sdcard problem was with kernel it came with right out the box. thats why i swapped kernels, but yea ill let u know which datadata kernels i use. just gotta find those kernels. havent kept up with all the new stuff and just saw this at the top of the forum
i been flashing this phone for years so i have a lil bit of clue of what im doing. i can usually solve some of my problems

I have downloaded the ROM from original site and flashed as per your recommendations in STALLION thread. It's great. I have some queries.
1. There were five patches whereas you have given seven.
2. How do you lock the screen? Is it only to be locked with POWER button. I use third party screen lock app tied up with long press search button which is not working here as this function is tagged with camera. Any alternative for screen lock?

1. Sorry, i made a mistake, there are only 6 of them, not 7. I dont know why u have only 5, and it doesnt realy matter.
2. I dont use any buttons to lock, screen timeout locks itself, or i use power button, but if u want, u can use search button, by doing this:
System Settings>System>Button>MI button>Trigger Toggle>Lock

I installed this rom yesterday from the chinese sources,you don't need all the 6 patches.There are 5 update patches and the 6th is the one you need,this is the final patch that includes ALL the other ones (20130101_U8800Pro-MIUI2.3.7 by FCS fix 20130104-12_update.zip)
to OP:There are 4 other files that came with the rom and i don't see them in the post.They are Sakura's Atmel screen fix,geno's gapps,flash player for this rom and the new miui compass that was not included in the original rom.If you don't have them tell me to upload them
If you want to put power button to search button go with root explorer to system/usr/keylayout open qwerty.kl with text editor,find key 217 and change it from ''CAMERA'' to ''POWER' and in the same line from ''WAKE DROPPED'' to ''WAKE'' .Save and reboot.Now pressing the search button closes the screen,long pressing it brings up the power menu.
People this is the best MIUI so far and the latest one with final release date 14/1/2013,Everything works.This is a special rom started by Geno,then Hay modded it,then Ry09iu modded it farther and lastly Sakura combined the mods of all of them together with his own and released this amazing rom.you got to try it

To korekore.
Great post. Very supportive.
I agree to you with first point. Five patches replaced by one single patch and I am using the same.
I will surely try your method OF search key lock /power button. I will surely try that.
Lately there are four more files of which I am using the gapps lite. My touch screen send to be working ok and I have not flashed the atmel kernel mod. BTW how to know whether I have a ATMEL or SYNAPTICS hardware?
Lastly waiting for Your English version apks.
Great ROM. Dream of similar JB ROM.
Thank you.

On your phone dialer you dial *#*#2846579#*#*
A menu will appear,then you go to project menu->upgrade->touchscreen firmware upgrade->touch screen version query and it will show you if it is ATMEL or SYNAPTICS.
Be aware however that this menu does not appear on all custom roms. For example in CM7 if you try it, nothing will happen.
For what is this FIX?
For me the 4 button does not lighting

That fix improves speed, stability, adds V6 SuperCharger script, improves power saving, etc.
No button backligt is not a bug, but you can "fix" it by doing this:
Download any root exploring app, go to sys>class>leds>button-backlight> edit it like text, and write 255>save it

Yes,I tried it too on MIUI but like CM7 it doesnt work in these roms. It works on official/stock rom 100%, i checked it on my official rom before installing this MIUI.
If you have a recovery backup of the stock/official rom you can restore the official rom and try it there, it will work there 100%.
Which kernel to b flashed for this Rom?

if anyone use it let's tell us if this rom is for one day or for often use and someone please post screenshots

SlimJB4.3 for Canadian Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M)
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** Disclamer ***[/SIZE][/B]
THIS ROM IS FOR THE CANADIAN SGH-I757M ONLY... DO NOT FLASH IT ON ANOTHER DEVICE!
By flashing this ROM, you are voiding your phones warranty (Unless you return it
to complete stock which is possible, but beyond the scope of this thread). You
also agree that I will in no way be held responsible in the event that your
device becomes bricked (Not likely to happen). In addition, you are responsible
to take the necessary backups of your apps, data, sms, contacts, calendar events, etc.
If you agree, then please continue on ;)[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RECOVERY REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
Due to the addition of user control in Jellybean 4.3, you are required to update
your recovery to a supported recovery. As of this writing, the latest available
version is CWM6.0.3.9/Philz6.07.9 for the SGH-I757M.
If you flash the new ROM with the old incompatible recovery, you risk loosing
your sdcard under a bunch of subfolders.[/COLOR]
Code:
[COLOR="red"][B][SIZE="4"]*** NEW RADIO FIRMWARE REQUIRED ***[/SIZE][/B]
As of SlimBean4.2, ICS radios (I757MUGLH2) are no longer supported. You must download the new JB radios (I757MUGMC5).[/COLOR]
Introduction
It's finally here :-D SlimBean4.3 (Android4.3.x) for the Bell Canada Samsung Galaxy S2 HD LTE (SGH-I757M). Among the most notable new features are new adreno graphics drivers with triple buffering (this is project butter). This is the latest SlimBean4.3 and has all of the features of a SlimRom that you've come to love. Don't forget to download the special gapps package to get the full SlimBean experience while using "The Real Dark Slim" feature.

What Doesn't Work
* I experienced an incompatibility with some of my existing mp4 media files and when gallery tries to load them they cause a soft reboot. Loading these videos into the gallery media player using a 3rd party file manager seems to work without issue, it is the loading of the preview in gallery that causes the phone to crash.
Solution: The solution is to use a file manager to move the mp4 files to a new directory and add a ".nomedia" file to that directory so that when browsing photos in the gallery, it does not try to load the offending mp4 files. You can still view these mp4 files, but you must open them with a file manager directly into the video player instead of using the gallery to access them.
* The camcorder records just fine, but when playing back the video, it's just a distorted video. Audio is fine, and I have not tested video with a third party app. If you test one and it works, please post that here so that others may benefit from your findings.
This seems to have been fixed as of the 20140121 build
* The latest Google Drive seems to be missing classes and will not open. This may be due to a missing content provider or may be a bug with the Google Drive app itself.
Solution: The solution for this is to uninstall the latest version of Google Drive, then go to Settings -> Security and enable Unknown Sources. Then open the Play Store and turn off automatic updates or it will end up overwriting the older version and you will be left with a non-working Google Drive again. Once all that is complete, download and install this Google Drive instead:

Pre-Installation instructions
1) Download to your sdcard, the new CWM6.0.3.9 or Philz Advanced/Touch Recovery flashable zip which is compatible with SlimBean4.2/SlimBean4.3
2) Enter your existing CWM Recovery
3) Install Zip From sdcard
4) Select the CWM_RECOVERY_6.0.3.9_I757M_20131005.zip (or the Philz one) that you downloaded to your sdcard
5) Flash the new Recovery
6) Go back to the main recovery menu and go Advanced -> Reboot Recovery (This might not actually reboot you into recovery, you may have to do that manually by turning off phone and using 3-button combo)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Now that you have the new recovery flashed to your device, you can continue to install this ROM.
Please be aware that the new recovery detects your sdcards (internal/external) in a different way. Your internal sdcard is recognized as /storage/sdcard0 and your external sdcard is recognized as /storage/sdcard1.
Installation instructions
1) Download the Rom and Gapps (Use only the Gapps downloded from this thread. It is customized due to our small cache partition)
2) Enter CWM
3) TAKE A NANDROID BACKUP
4) Wipe Data/Factory Reset
5) Format Cache
6) Advanced -> Format Dalvik Cache
7) Mounts and Storage -> Format /data,/cache and /system (Required for a clean flash)
8) Flash the Radios
9) Flash the ROM
10) Flash the Gapps
11) Reboot Phone

FAQ
Q. Why is my screen flickering?
A. There is a bug in this ROM where the board can't decide whether to display the frames with the cpu or the gpu, thus the flickering while it resolves the issue. To fix it, disable HW Overlays in Developer Options. There is a script that has been included with this ROM in the init.d that sets that on every boot so you shouldn't have to.

This helps fix some issues with VPN and some other system services.
Logcat what is it and how do I get one?
A logcat is the system log of events that occur on your device. This log provides the developers with some useful information pertaining to crashes and other bugs you may encounter while using the ROM and/or apps running on the ROM. Getting a logcat is generally a very simple thing. Just open your terminal emulator on your phone and type the following commands without typing the $ as it denotes a command on the command line:
$ su
$ logcat -v long > /sdcard/logcat.txt
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The first command above will ask you to grant superuser permission to the terminal emulator which you must accept. The second command will create a file at the root of your sdcard called logcat.txt and then start writing the logs to this file. Since the logcat is a continuous function, your terminal emulator will not return you to the command prompt after the second command as it will continue to write logs until you stop it by pressing the x to close the emulator.
If you are experiencing an issue with an app, then you need to do the steps above to get the logcat recording, then press your home button so that you don't close the emulator, but put it in the background. Then you do the action that causes the bug to occur and then open the emulator and terminate it to stop the log from writing. this ensures that the error is located somewhere around the end of the log and makes it easier for us to spot
What is dalvik-cache and why do I need it?
To explain dalvik cache, you must understand how an app is pieced together. An apk (android app) is like a zip file and contains a bunch of files inside. Two important files to note are the resources.arsc and the classes.dex files. They are compiled versions of the resources (images, sounds, xml files) and classes (source code files) of the app. When android boots into a ROM for the first time, and everytime you install an app, the system performs an optimization called dex optimization which means that is pulls the dex file out of the app and places it into what is called your dalvik cache. The system can then pre-load these dex files and allow the app to start quickly.
Dalvik cache is stored in two locations, at /data/dalvik-cache for user apps and at /cache/dalvik-cache for system apps. We unfortunately have a very small partition for /cache, only 100MB and this sometimes causes a side effect on first boot where it fills up to much with apps that only ever run on the first boot to setup the system and then other dex files cannot be written to the /cache partition which causes them to Force Close (FC). The trick in this situation, is to bear through the FC messages to get the system to the home screen, then reboot into recovery and Wipe Dalvik Cache from the Advanced sub-menu. This will delete all the dex files in both locations I mentioned above and will force the system to regenerate them upon reboot, and this time, those 1-time running apps don't start up and don't end up being optimized which allows the necessary dex files to be created for the apps that were FC'ing.
I have moved what I could from the system partition to the data partition to spare some extra space on /cache but this still sometimes happens, especially as the ROM's get slightly bigger every new major version.

Yay a slim bean of 4.3! Woot.

titanic_fanatic, I just bought a pawned SGH-I757M and flashed your ROM on my device.
I love it, but there is one problem with my device. I find that the AMOLED screen is much too warm for my eyes. I know that CyanogenMod has in color modifier sliders but in this case, the kernel doesn't support it.
Is there any chance you may point me in the right direction in order to get this feature working? Or am I at lost with the SGH-I757M?
Thank you very much for your hard work, much appreciated!!!

Hey
Is this any different from the Cyanogenmod 10.2 iteration other than aesthetics? Does the battery and performance offer more seeing that it is supposed to be a much smaller and compact kernel?. I really have to urge to flash this, but I don't know if its worth my time considering I have already flashed CM10.2 recently and am very happy with it. Thanks!

Only difference is in features and it's been slimmed down.Other than that, it's the same ROM. I just posted it for those who like the slim features check this page out for the list of slim features:

I've only posted or ROM's here since that's where dsixda was told to post them back when he started with this device. If the mods would prefer I post them in the dev section, I'm more than happy to oblige

Amazing
I just flashed it, its amazing! Especially "The Real Dark Slim"! However, I did notice Google + doesn't work properly asking me to re install it at the play store. Had to uninstall using Titanium Backup and then install it back via app store, not sure now whether it has the the real dark slim feature integrated in google +. Other than that, it's really smooth so far Great port.
UPDATE: Google drive also doesn't work as it force closes continuously even after wiping dalvik's cache. I'll try redownloading the gapps tomorrow, might have a corrupt downloaded file.
I Fashed latest slim as well. It is running really well so far. I had the same issue with Google+ until I uninstalled using TB then reininstall from play store.

Can confirm issue with Google+..
Thank you t_f for looking into mdnie. Also, flashing the unmodified lock screen handle available on Slim's website did not work, I still see the Slim logo. Aaah I wish I had time to figure out the android build environment.. I mean its probably just ant lol

I noticed while testing the latest slim that hw overlay is disabled by default. Is this by design or necessary with this rom? I know this issue is addressed in your other ROMs but not sure about this one. BTW with fairly heavy use I am currently at 40% battery over 20 hours. Quite acceptable.

It is intentional. Disabling the hw overlays is a performance hit, and it seemed that slim didn't need that hack because the overlays are working correctly
I know, the latest ROMs are running smooth and battery is much better since I tweaked the kernel for both.
I'm also really enjoying my new computer so much that I'm playing with paranoid android too. Got it booting with a bunch of hacks and to my suprise, it's running quite well. I'll post that after I test it more and clean up the build process. Then we have choice of which ROM too use. That was the problem before, no choice strange though, there is no branch for kk in paranoid android's repo.

Just a word of caution to everyone using philz latest 6.07 cwm recovery. There is a know issue where the update-binary has now been updated as of kk and the recoveries built with kk like the new philz 6.07 are now giving assert errors (error 7).
There are two ways to fix this:
1) Revert to the older 6.01 version of philz.
2) extract the updater-script from the rom zip file, delete the assert lines and replace the old updater-script with the new one.
If you're new to all this, or consider yourself inexperienced, I recommend you go with option 1 and revert to the older philz as it's a less risky method of doing things

Here's the link to the older philz 6.01. You can use either the 6.01.0 or 6.01.2.
