This is lightweight and fast JellyBean 4.2.2 AOSP-based, with tweaks from CM10.1 and AOKP. I like it as it is a powerful ROM with many settings and options but without feeling too bloated with features that many don't use. You won't find a PIE option or Per-App dpi settings here, but you will find many customizations to make this run exactly as you see fit. Here's some of what it offers:
-8 Lockscreen targets
-Notification bar and drawer transparency settings
-Custom carrier label
-Battery bar
-CM Power Widget
-Hardware key custom actions (including back button)
-Disable lockscreen widgets and/or usability hints
-Quiet Hours
-DashClock Widget built in
-Widgets Viewpager (a kind of locker at the bottom of the screen for widgets that can be called by a hardware -key assignment, very cool)
-linaro -O3 flags
-Dark Slim option (a built in theme to darken everything)
-much more...

​
Credits:
kushdeck For making CM possible on this phone, his kernel source is what is powering this ROM. His endless hours of work made all our non-sense ROM's possible.
SlimRoms They really put together an amazing ROM.
jamieg71 His roms motivated me to start compiling my own, and his help allowed my to dive into adding linaro toolchains.
thicklizard For giving me a fix for a problem of headphones not being connected, wouldn't have gotten this without him.
Evervolv Using their sources helped fix some errors I was running into when porting this.
Downloads:
Gapps:
Slim Aroma Selectable Gapps 4.3 Build 1
***Use these for all 4.3 Slim builds. ****
***If you have a problem with Google Now FC'ing on a dirty flash, it is due to a security update. Please uninstall Google Search, reboot, and then reflash.
Aroma Slim Gapps 4.2.2 Build-8
These Slim Gapps are recommended for use with this ROM, they are in an Aroma installer and feature the toggleable Gapps (for a Google apps dark look when The Real Dark Slim option is toggled)
Also, if you want a toggleable Maps, Google+, or Multi-Dpi Play Store:
http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/526-apps
Misc:
SlimBean offical add-ons (this ROM comes slimmed down and many things are available as an addon, email is located in the Extras package).
Themed Deskclock
4.2 Camera with Photosphere This zip name is camera42patchedv2.zip, does anyone know the creator of it? I can't give proper credit as I downloaded it a while back and don't remember from where.. sorry
4.3 Camera Flash the 4.2 Photosphere zip above and then install this like any other apk. Works great!
Hints
Enable Developer Settings: goto Settings --> About Phone --> Build Number, and click 7 times
Enable Rebot Menu (Reboot Recovery, Reboot Bootload, etc), goto Settings --> Developer Options --> Advanced Reboot, pick one
If you prefer the stock lockscreen handle, here is a link to set it to stock.
Explore their website, there are many add-ons for this ROM
Looking for a sound mod?? Check out this excellent how-to for Acid V7 and the Noozxiode by AndrasLOHF.
Bash features:
-Modified login to say "Good Morning", "Good Afternoon" etc, based on the time of day,
-Outputs kernel version, uptime, current time, and who you are logged in as (color coded) at time of login (see pic).
-TERM and TERMINFO variables assigned by default. Nano, htop, etc. will work on every ROM now.
-Custom aliases (quick commands)
diskspace - show you a listing of directories and their size
x - exit
ff - find a file (type the name after ff, i.e "ff Term.apk")
lsd - list only directories
.. - go back one directory
... - go back two directories
... - go back three directories
I recommend you switch the default shell in TERM to use this, (Preferences --> Command Line --> enter "/system/xbin/bash").
Enjoy!

** HOW-TO COMPILE THIS YOURSELF **
Here are my notes on how to port SlimBean to our devices, should anyone be interested in compiling their own. I ran into a few headaches when I attempted this, so I’m hoping these notes will save others from that. The point of this tutorial is to teach newbies how to port a ROM, while I could do some things on my end make it easier to compile this ROM, I think it's important to outline all the steps involved in doing this by hand, so the methods may be applied to other ROM ports, not just SlimBean.
I compiled on a Debian Wheezy system, 64bit (squeeze should be the same). A 64-bit computer is required to compile Jellybean (ICS and above for that matter), so don’t attempt this on anything less. If you are unfamiliar with installing Debian, you can use LMDE, it's a live Debian system that you can install with minimal linux knowledge and works pretty nice. However the installation process is pretty easy for vanilla Debian and a good learning process, so give it a shot if you have the time.
Do this all as root
Download dependencies:
Code:
apt-get install git-core gnupg flex bison gperf build-essential zip curl libc6-dev libncurses5-dev x11proto-core-dev libx11-dev libreadline6-dev g++-multilib mingw32 openjdk-6-jdk tofrodos python-markdown libxml2 libxml2-utils schedtool pngcrush xsltproc zlib1g-dev lib32stdc++6 lib32ncurses5 ncurses-libs.i686 libstdc++.i686 libgcc.i686 lib32readline-gplv2-dev lib32z1-dev
Link files:
Code:
ln -s /lib32/libncurses.so.5 /lib32/libncurses.so
or for Ubuntu 10.10:
Code:
sudo ln -s /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so.1 /usr/lib32/mesa/libGL.so
Install Google’s repo script:
Code:
mkdir ~/bin
PATH=~/bin:$PATH
curl https://dl-ssl.google.com/dl/googlesource/git-repo/repo > ~/bin/repo
chmod 755 ~/bin/repo
Make your working Directory and start syncing with SlimBean
Code:
mkdir ~/slimbean; cd ~/slimbean
repo init -u git://github.com/SlimRoms/platform_manifest.git -b jb4.2
repo sync
Create a local_manifests file with Cyanogenmods sources for our phone and kernel (thanks to Deck’s work). This is porting part.
Code:
mkdir ~/slimbean/.repo/local_manifests
echo ‘<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<manifest>
<!-- CyanogenMod -->
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_jewel" path="device/htc/jewel" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_s4-common" path="device/htc/s4-common" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_device_htc_msm8960-common" path="device/htc/msm8960-common" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<project name="CyanogenMod/android_kernel_htc_msm8960" path="kernel/htc/msm8960" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<!-- Add HTC Proprietary Files -->
<project name="TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_htc" path="vendor/htc" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
<!-- Add qcom-caf source for our phone -->
<project path="hardware/qcom/media-caf" name="SlimRoms/hardware_qcom_media-caf" remote="github" revision="jb4.2" />
<project path="hardware/qcom/display-caf" name="SlimRoms/hardware_qcom_display-caf" remote="github" revision="jb4.2" />
<project path="hardware/qcom/audio-caf" name="SlimRoms/hardware_qcom_audio-caf" remote="github" revision="jb4.2" />
<!-- Add personal fixed bash -->
<remove-project name="SlimRoms/android_external_bash" />
<project path="external/bash" name="mikshepard/android_external_bash" remote="github" revision="cm-10.1" />
</manifest>’ > ~/slimbean/.repo/local_manifests/jewel.xml
Sync the repo again
Code:
repo sync
Create your device file for Slimbean (adapted from CM’s cm.mk file):
Code:
echo '$(call inherit-product, vendor/slim/config/common_full_phone.mk)
$(call inherit-product, vendor/slim/config/cdma.mk)
# Enhanced NFC
$(call inherit-product, vendor/slim/config/nfc_enhanced.mk)
# Inherit device configuration
$(call inherit-product, device/htc/jewel/jewel.mk)
# Device naming
PRODUCT_DEVICE := jewel
PRODUCT_NAME := slim_jewel
PRODUCT_BRAND := htc
PRODUCT_MODEL := EVO
PRODUCT_MANUFACTURER := HTC
# Set build fingerprint / ID / Product Name ect.
PRODUCT_BUILD_PROP_OVERRIDES += PRODUCT_NAME=htc_jewel BUILD_ID=JRO03C BUILD_FINGERPRINT="htc/jewel/jewel:4.1.1/JRO03C/147243.3:user/release-keys" PRIVATE_BUILD_DESC="3.16.651.3 CL147243 release-keys"
# Release name
PRODUCT_RELEASE_NAME := jewel
# Boot animation
TARGET_SCREEN_HEIGHT := 1280
TARGET_SCREEN_WIDTH := 720
# Copy compatible prebuilt files
PRODUCT_COPY_FILES += \
vendor/slim/prebuilt/hdpi/bootanimation.zip:system/media/bootanimation.zip
-include vendor/cm/config/common_versions.mk > ~/device/htc/jewel/slim.mk
then create a vendorsetup.sh file
Code:
echo “add_lunch_combo slim_jewel-userdebug” >> ~/device/htc/jewel/vendorsetup.sh
now we build our environment:
Code:
. build/envsetup.sh
get a list of all devices:
Code:
lunch
Choose slim_jewel-userdebug (it should be option 9), and then create your ROM:
Code:
make bacon
when finished, it’ll be located in ~/slimbean/out/target/product/jewel/
NOTE: if using a multi-core processor use "make -jX bacon" where X = the number of cores you have. For my duel-core processor, I use "make -j2 bacon".
TIP:
If you are into building, checkout my acompile script in my signature, it'll email you when your build is complete using Gmail's snmp and will include the time it took and the last few lines of the output. I find it very useful for knowing when my build is done (especially since they take me about 3+ hours apiece)
SOURCES:
This page helped a lot with a great tutorial on building ROMS
This forum is filled with great people who others with the building of ROMS. A great source when you run into errors you don’t understand.
Hope this helps someone,
-Mike

Really interested to try this, but before I do:
How are the cameras in these AOSP roms these days? On par with the Sense camera or is the quality still degraded?

This ROM is slimmed down, so some of those things aren't included in the stock install but available as a extra addon. What you want is located here. I'll make a mention of it on the OP.

Flashed and for some reason I can't flash komodo. It installs fine, and after it boots up it freezes up and reboots just to do the same thing again. Any thoughts?

Did you get the one capped at 2.1 or a lower? I use komodo 29 capped at 1.8. My phone does not go past 1.8ghz. It will freeze and go into boot loops.

I'll download one again. If 1.5 is an option I'll get it. I usually never go past that.

Cool let me know if you get it working. I do know that the 1.8 capped kernel is set to 1.5 as default setting.
