[Q] Installing Slim Bean 4.2.1 Stable from CM10.1? - Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
Sorry if this question is really basic but i need some help.
I recently installed 4.2.2 CM10.1-20130217 nightly and i am getting absolute trash battery. (kernel 3.0.63-g5f9dde0) and i want to switch to slim bean stable 4.2.1...
Questions:
Will i have to flash back to stock?
If so, do i have to flash CM10 or 10.1?
after that do i use the CM10 GApps or Slim bean GApps?
again sorry for the novice questions but i really need some help here ):
thanks in advance!

No, just flash slim on it. Wipe cache and factory reset. Don't forget to save your apps, sms and so on.

Okay so i've successfully flashed slim bean (thank you to previous 2 posters!) and i believe it has everything that cm has but all the bugs i can find are somewhat fixed. My first impression was 'wow why is everything so small' and this question was a FAQ on slim beans webpage which can be changed. The default launcher used was holo launcher HD which, in my opinion, looks exactly like trebuchet launcher for cm but you can add shortcuts! (yay) and has alot more that trebuchet cant do which i am still discovering. Another thing i like about this is that you can add a brightness slider in the notification drop down (really helpful). However, Slim Bean does have a performance setting but does not allow you to overclock to 1.2 MHz which is fine because it has all the other performance settings included. Slim OTA seems very convenient but i havent had a chance to use it yet.
Overall for me i find the battery life way better with heavy use (cant describe hours yet because i left it there when i was sleeping and havent charged yet) and performance is smoother. This is definitely slim and has many more features i have yet to discover compared to CM. Any questions you can look at videos, pm me, or post here.
EDIT1: GApps seem to only include gmail, play store, google calandar, Holo Launcher HD and possibly SuperSU, because i see it and i cant seem to uninstall it.

ok sir thank you very much! this is fun! im going to flash slim bean now..

done! im booted to slim bean! it faster to flash slim beam compare to cm10.1 and faster boot also.. time to restore my apps.. is it safe to restore data as well on titanium back up if im from another rom?
im editing
after 1hr.. well my phone forecloses the settings and youtube.. and i dont experience it on cm10.1.. om going to flash it again.. also gps is not functioning, if you toggle it off the SU ask you non stop! but on cm10.1 it function flawlessly..

AW: [Q] Installing Slim Bean 4.2.1 Stable from CM10.1?
Slim has semaphore kernel. You can update it separately, flashing in recovery mode.. Use semaphore manager from play store to tweak and tune..

MIUI Launcher in Jelly Bean

Does anyone have tested the MIUI Launcher (aka MiHome) in CM10? It's working fine? I would love if someone could test it. It's the only thing that keeps me from updating to JB.
Thanks

i don't think it will work, if u like miui wait for v4 stable.
I tried miui home not working in jelly bean.
Sent from my MB525 using xda premium
Thanks guys, I'll be looking for future updates.
I'm pretty sure it relies strongly on the framework (like the original BLUR Laucnher, i.e.), thus not working with any non-MIUI ROM. I also remember that, somewhere around here, a guy ported/found replacements for most MIUI apps, give the search tool a try, you might find it. I'm not sure that Launcher is included in these apps, though.

i9300 not at all smooth? :/

Good morning.
Ive been using my i9300 for about two months now. Im a former iPhone 4 user. I have noticed that the i9300 despite the fact that it has quad-core and 1GB RAM, is not at all smooth :/ I always get lag in the Homescreen and in the settings etc etc. I've tried like 20 ROMS or so :/ am i doing something wrong here? E.g. scrolling between homepages can get laggy! That wasnt supposed to happen right?\
Im currently at MIUI 2.9.14 ROM. Maybe im doing something wrong when i flash a new ROM?
What are the steps?
I delete the whole internalSD, i perform a data/factory reset via CWM, i delete cache and Dalvik Cache. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

The rom you are on has problem of memory leak.
Just use a samsung-based rom. Your trouble will be fixed.

Yeah try that combo. Wanam or Omega Jelly Bean XXDLI8 leaks are very smooth.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
there are plenty of custom roms out there,
most of the JB leaks are much smoother than the ICS roms i have been using.( i am sure there are ICs roms that are smooth as well , just that i have not tested before. )
currently on Omega v23 and happy with it, no lags. you may just have to spend some time experimenting which one is to your preference.
Sir, I suggest you try out Omega ROM (ICS or JB) doesn't really matter, cause Omega is really really stable. I'm not prompting whatsoever because I'm on MIUI 2.9.14 too with hardcore speed mod kernel and it is perfectly great.
One advice, try not flashing so many ROMs at one go because it might cause system error such as connectivity to wifi or packet data. Stick to one you really like.
Edit: Do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware on PC Odin and root again to remove any bad 'history' and the lag too.
Hope I did manage to help!
Great day

If you want a rapid ICS rom then use Foxhound 1.4.3, it is quite simply the best ICS rom there is, and believe me i've tried them all.
Couple it with Galaxsih kernel @normal and apex launcher not much comes close to it.
As for Jelly bean, take your pick but just know that there are no final builds as of yet and all of them are leaks, meaning that kernel support is limited.
Thanks everyone ive never flashed back to stock before i used custom rom and i think that May be it like one of you suggested. About that miui rom and hardcore speed mod. It works on any MIUI rom or only on specific ones? If it does work on every miui where can i find it? I really like miui

You are welcome mate hmm what do you mean?? I'm using hardcore speed mod on my MIUI rom and I don't experience any lag (Provided you use apex launcher PRO too) I even have great battery life (8 hrs of hardcore using; with wifi or packet data On). You can definitely flash speedmod on your MIUI 2.9.14 and you will know what I mean.
Omega ICS on the other hand, is really stable and having that 'stock-ish' feel. But on MIUI, you know we rule the game.
Edit: If you wanna try out Omega, do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware (It will unroot device) then root again then try out Omega. It is really your decision.
But again, you know who rule the game with MIUI. Haha.
Great day ahead.

i am also experiencing lag on my s3 i'm on wanamlite 3.3
To get rid of the memory leak, go to ES Explorer, give it root and write permissions (in its options), then go to system/bin/ and delete kiesexe. You won't be able to use Kies anymore, but it'll kill the leak because it's caused by that process.
you should use the stock TW without scrolling wallpaper mod =p
I just prefer you to flash DLI18 stock JB from sammobile, wipe everything before flash, and I would prefer you to change animation scale and duration scale from 1 to 0.5,

Just a suggestion.... If you really like MIUI, but want a smoother and more stable ROM, why don't you flash the latest CM10 build, and then install MiHome Launcher? MiHome Launcher is the default launcher used in MIUI and it comes with an optional MIUI lockscreen as well. Once both are installed, it's virtually indistinguishable from a full MIUI ROM. Plus, it'll have the speed and smoothness of Jelly Bean with the stability of CyanogenMod (or as stable as a pre-release build can be).
Anyway, it was just a thought. Good luck to ya'!

There's not so much JB 4.2 ROM for the SGTab. I actually run the CM10.1 Nightly Builds and it's a very good rom if you really want to move to 4.2.
There's also the ParanoidAndroid 2.99, I don't test it but if you're curious I advise you to test both by yourself but be careful due to multi-user on JB 4.2 the nandroid backups are now in a different folder. This means that if you make a backup from a previous version of JB 4.2 you can't restore it from JB 4.2. I think you just have move the backup in the general folder instead of the user folder but I haven't tested it.
Look on CM Google+
Hmmm, do you face any issue in CM10.1?

i tried jellybean by toldo,was pretty good.but battery drain for 1% per hour on standby was there which less than stock ICS roms
But toldos Rom is ICS.

The only issue I remember is the sound issue and the nav bar settings FC. When you mute the tab then press volume up it goes at max then if you press volume up again it becomes normal again. Strange issue but not so disturbing. I try not to mute the tablet during a song otherwise when I volume up it becomes MAX
When you open nav bar settings it force close.
I don't remember any other issue. I can browse the web, chat, play, take some pictures, Everything is smooth for now without overclocking.
Try it by yourself, really it's a good ROM
Best rom kernels thread are not permitted.
Try them for your self and decide which one suits your needs best.
Thank you and thread closed .

[Q]Galaxy S3 Android 4.2 Lockscreen with Widgets

I very, very like the idea of new Android 4.2 lockscreen with widgets, but I want it on my s3, too.
So ist anyone around who knows a mod that adds the lockscreen to this device (running wanamrom), or anyone who could make such a mod?
Pls.

Any custom ROM that is based on Android 4.2.1. Your current list is CM10.1, SlimBean, task650's AOKP, AOKP, Illusion, and LiquidSmooth. Jellybam will be updating sometime today for the I9300, hopefully soon for the other SIII variants (d2att, d2tmo, etc.). I have tried all of them so far except for Jellybam on my AT&T SIII, and CM10.1 nightlies were working the best for me, but the rest give you some more options since they are AOKP-based.
Good luck

Yep i had jellybam but it has a lock screen bug cannot wake up again after locked the problem is I don't want to loose s3 features like touchwiz, multi window amd others
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
You tried the Jellybam for I9300? He got that out fast
Just bear in mind that the only version so far of android to natively support widgets on the lock screen is jellybean 4.2.1.

Widgets aren't supported on TouchWiz since the S3 hadn't updated to 4.2.1 yet. If you want your ToucjWiz and stuff, check out an app called WidgetLocker.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Jellybam nightly for s3 already includes the new lockscreen with widgets and new quick settings and all the stuff but well it has that lockscreen lag that makes it impossible to use it probably
Edit: it's the thing that i want the new Android stuff always but don't like the original android looking as on nexus but different from many others I love the s3 touchwiz
Unfortunately the won't ever be stuff from the premium suite on aosp or aokp roms, so i can't wait for 4.2 for s3 ^^

What exactly do you mean by lockscreen lag? I know that on nearly every ROM I have tried out, there are issues with the screen wake function, where it sometimes takes two or the presses to wake it up. From what I can tell, this is a problem with AOSP in its entirety.
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
Lockscreen lag: when you lock your phone and try to wake up again (with home or lock button) screen turns on for a millisecond and shut down again so you cannot unlock your phone again and need to restart phone and this is everytime not just from time to time it makes the rom unusable I tried everything full wipe etc

Version 5.1.0 is notoriously unbootable. You get to a bootloop at the boot animation on all the d2 devices so far. iGio90 is supposed to be releasing a fixed 5.2.0 version on Monday.

Ok, so you can look forward to monday. Because this rom is nearly perfect. Just some issues with touchwiz indicator and the lack of multiwindow/ pagebuddy (samsung features that probably won't ever get into aosp/aokp unfortunatly =() - But for me, the best android 4.2.1 rom around.

Best JB as а daily driver so far

I'm a Froyo user and I want to try a stable JB Rom. The most important for me is the battery life and working GPS. Can you recommend a stable and with user-friendly installation ROM? THANK YOU!
The easiest installation and fastest ROM for me was xylon. Definitely and amazing rom

I use slim bean 3. It is jb 4.1.2. There an updated version slim bean I haven't tried yet, its 3.1. But I'm not sure about the version of JB. I found this ROM to run a lot smoother and with fewer crashes than cyanogenmod. Also the display doesn't dim from stock, like cyanogemod does. Slim bean is a great ROM to try out
