[ROM] B196-slim-v1

[Guest antonynext]

Hello guys, on the website of HTCMania I found this fantastic rom!

Many system apps have been removed. The system runs smoothly and quickly without ever manifesting lag. The free ram is amazing and remains free because the system does not have a lot of useless applications. With AnTuTu showed a score of 7491. At the moment I can not find bugs. I'll post the link of the discussion on HTCMania:

I preferred to remove the stock launcher and installed nova launcher and greenify.

Sorry for my bad english. :)

Some screens pls..

[Guest TangerineTractor]

Excellent. The slim series were in my opinion the best stock based roms on the g300, so hopefully the dev will do the same on the y.

[Guest Hassams]

Some screens pls..

If you have the phone with you then you know how a stock rom looks like and you also know how good is your preferred launcher looks like :)

@OP

Thanks for sharing and Thanks dev/modder for the ROM. Hope to see more customized rom's instead lite version of stock.

It is very fast. Definitely the fastest Rom I've tried.

Removed emotionui, installed nova, set up exactly as with other rooms, it is just faster. Stock on speed. If you're happy with stock look and feel, or customising yourself from a stock base, it's worth giving this a go.

The widget loosing from the homescreen problem is present in this rom too? All stock based rom has this problem : after rebooting the phone the 3rd party widgets gone from the homescreen if i using non-stock launcher.

Never had this issue.

There are some apps that have issues, like light flow, which never retains accessibility after a reboot on all stock based... I get round this by using Rom toolbox to make a backup of the app in question, uninstalling it, and restoring the backup. This seems to resolve the issue, so might work for your widgets. I use minimalistic text widget on nova or apex with no issues.

I tried a lot weather widgets with Apex on stock based roms. All widgets gone after reboot...only the preinstalled widgets remained...Strange.

[Guest TangerineTractor]

Have you tried one widget at a time?

Like I said, install rom toolbox, use the app manager, backup the widget, then uninstall it and restore it from the backup (app only, not data). That works for me for lightflow and for swype, both of which don`t reload fully after a reboot if installed from Play store.

If you read the OP, it`s just a link to the dev on HTCmania.

You need to go look on there for more info, it`s not fair to expect other people to go looking things up for you.

Three hours light use, including an hour on 3g, and a ten minute phone call... 10% battery consumption.

[Guest radu_sergiu]

this rom made my phone unrooted, blocked the bootloader and no recovery anymore. wtf? how come?

Must be a bad flash. No issues for me with it.

[Guest radu_sergiu]

anyway, no problem, I will do again steps about root, bootloader, recovery.

[Guest Ranx91]

are there any problem with notifications,when the phone is in stanby??? (screen locked) ...i need TWRP 2.6.3 or,can i use the 2.6.0???

thanks

[Guest TangerineTractor]

You should be able to flash with any custom recovery.

No issues so far with anything in this rom.

[Guest tomtruckie]

I have installed this ROM on my y300-151 using latest twrp. I have had no issues or bugs. Removed more hideaway crap sy as weather and music and running nova prime.

[Guest Bob@Desire]

What is the latest version of thisROM?

[Guest joba69]

v2 is latest version ...could be found @htcmania

so far i think it is the best rom you can use for g510

[Guest TangerineTractor]

What is the latest version of thisROM?

The latest version is B196V1.

[Guest joba69]

The latest version is B196V1.

Right ... v2 is previous version .. strange versioning :-D

[Guest asro]

V2 = b194

V1 = b196

[Guest TangerineTractor]

Try Lunatic Pandora. It's even faster. (IMO)
