The most fluid CM9 available till NOW
Re Uploaded with errors fixed...
Hello all! I present to you, my 2nd attempt at ROM Modding (first on ICS)... thoughtfully named SlimCyan9.
Yeah, it is inspired by the SlimICS ROM available for SGS II.. but the OP has mentioned of no ports...
So i made my own! This is not in any way related to his ROM, which i have never used, because i'm not too rich!
I always prefer to thank some people first... as you may or may not know... And that is because im still learning stuff, esp related to compiling from source...
Thanks and credits:-
- Sakindia123
- Lirokoa
- derefas
- sherif maroon
- akya
- and some other people for guides on XDA...
Features:-
- Based on CM9 #8 latest build by lirokoa sir
- A tiny boot animation... 600 Kb vs 2.15 MB
- SlimCyan Ringtone..
- /system cleaned up a little
- Gapps included...
- Dark themed apk's like messaging, contacts, calender, news&weather, Apollo(with a black widget)
- Xloud sound engine
- Bravia contrast management
- Supersmooth scrolls tweak
- Darky zipalign, sdext booster, and all that good stuff...
- Partial implementation of Project Butter. PARTIAL.
- Forced GPU rendering for better battery
- GPS tweak for faster locking
- Some apks removed and some added...
- Display density to 145
- Themeing fix preinstalled, see the instructions for more
- Centered clock and date
- Lockscreen rotation enabled
- Fling velocity and qualcomm specific tweaks

- Zip is only 108 MB... with Gapps.. so quite slim. :P [CM9 without Gapps is 110 MB]
- Zipaligned as default
- Zipalign on boot for better memory
- SuperUser removed. SuperSU included. Better suited for some apps, like dspoilt
- Fling velocity, Friction, Max events/sec optimized after trial and error

Instructions and Tips&Tricks
Instructions:-
FOLLOW THEM AS IT IS OTHERWISE A FAIR CHANCE OF STRUCK AT SPLASHSCREEN OR BOOTLOOP
WISE PEOPLE CREATE A NANDROID BEFORE DOING ANYTHING
If you are on ANY CM9 build by LIROKOA:- (Group 1)
- Reboot to recovery, Flash Slim Cyan 9, wipe cache, reboot.
If you are on any other ROM except lirokoa's CM9:- (Group 2)
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash Slim Cyan 9
- Flash Original apk's .zip
- Wipe Data/factory reset
- Reboot
- Finish the setup and everything...
- Reboot to recovery
- Flash ROM again. NO NEED FOR A WIPE NOW
- Reboot
Post Flashing, Post Booting instructions:-
Since the DPI is changed to 145 to make CM theme engine compatible with nearly all the available cm9 themes,
Phone.apk keeps on crashing, when making or receiving calls.
The only feasible fix was using the included Jellybean theme.
So, Settings>themes>Jellybean> APPLY ANYWAY...
Run terminal to bring back the status bar... YOU JUST NEED TO RUN IT, any notification in status bar will do...
USB plugged message will do too!
Oh, and once you have applied the JB theme and rebooted your phone, EVERY theme will work properly without any FC on phone.apk.
Just don’t apply the Default system theme.
If you have upgraded from cm9 build, you may want to try the Slim Cyan ringtone.
This is set as default for people of the group 2
Optional is the Ubuntu Fonts pack, of which I’m a fan of...
Flash via recovery, if you like open source too!These fonts suit lower density better too! Roboto looks a bit pinched.
You need to Activate S2E if moving from any ROM not using S2E...
If you were using d2ext or ungaze or anything else, I’d recommend a clean install, EVEN if you were on cm9...
How to activate S2E:-
- Make sure you are running a SD card partitioned via Yannou's recovery... I can’t help more than this.
- Open S2E settings, Mount as ext4, set read buffer is optional.... works for me
- Reboot
- Reopen S2E... Options should now be available... tick em all and reboot.
- Profit
If you are having problems in getting the device booted up, then the best advice from my side is, "GTF back to stock"
If you make a nandroid of Slim Cyan... IT IS POSSIBLE THAT because of handicapped systemui.apk, the phone may end up in a boot loop.
So I suggest you to download the original apk's.zip JUST IN CASE.
Want to make Slim Cyan even closer to the smoothness of Project Butter?
- DONT USE ANY CPU-HOGGING APPS LIKE FACEBOOK OR WHATSAPP... BEST ADVICE!
- Settings> Developer options> Show all ANR tick> kill app back button tick
- Developer options> transition animation and window animation scale to 1.5x
- Performance> CPU > Governor=interactive and set on boot tick
- Performance> Memory> zRam> 18% or 26% and tick Purging of assets, if not...
- Apex Settings> behavior> animation style> Jellybean
Reboot to slip on your phone...
I CAN GURANTEE that in stock Slim Cyan 9 Condition, after finishing the instructions and the tips and tricks, without using any bloat apps,
(For devs, without using terminal commands or any other funny things), YOU CANNOT HANG THE PICO.PERIOD.
At least, I was not able to do it... :P
