[Q&A] SlimKat

[adil089]

thx

btw, very fast and smooth rom, maybe the best KK.

but i've a strange bug:
- screen brightness adjustments doesn't work
- led notification doesn't work

is there a way to solve this?

Led notification doesn't work on any kk ROM.(hope someone finds a way to make it work) and screen brightness can't be adjusted on certain custom ROMs like carbon and slimkat (don't know the reason for this it maybe something in the code). For the screen brightness you could install 'root dim' from the play store and that would solve your problem until it gets fixed.

thx, the solution works fine

after few days of using this rom, i can say that this the smoothest kk rom fot the xperia L (before i've used freexperia cm11).

the bug that i've found are:

- no notification led
- no screen brightness adjustment (fix with rootdim)
- seems that only 2gb of the 4gb of the internal memory are read. someone can confirm this?

Notification led and screen brightness are working fine for me with latest nightly (8.2) =)

Just a potentially dumb question: how can I change the weather unity in the lockscreen from ºF to ºC?

I couldn't find the settings button, but I solved my problem removing the widget and adding it again.

Thanks for the hint

Slimkat doesn't have theme chooser, AFAIK. Same for the network speed indicator.

It does not work moving applications. Clean master announces "Not enough space for moving to SD card"
Any solutions?

Mobile data wasn't working for me in 8.2.
Solved by flashing ThunderZap.

Did anyone else have this issue?

help with install

this bug really makes me mad. every time i try to flash any rom it gives me "E:Error executing updater binary in zip 'long path': set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed". i am using c2015 and twrp. unlocked bootloader please i really like this rom and i want to install it

Slimkat 8.6 Taoshan

Just a few words of encouragement - absolutely love this ROM on my Xperia L. It's quite incredible and is leaps and bounds better then the stock JB ROM. Now that brightness and notification lights are fixed in 8.2+ my only complaint is speaker-phone volume is quite low. The only other issue "I've" found is the wake up bug but that's present in several of these types of ROMs but isn't much of an annoyance to me personally. Keep up the great work, updating weekly! Thanks

Hi! Can you make it to work on locked bootloader? I want to use it on my device, but it has locked bootloader and I can't unlock it ( I will test it if you want someone, and will make some donation to you, just please try to make it....:angel:

It's not for unlocked bootloader only because the devs. don't want to make it for locked ones, but because you can't install custom kernels on locked bl. This is the manufacturers restriction. So there is no way to make this rom for locked ones.

What files to download release.zip and what else? how we install it (steps) using CWM?

Download the latest nightly and SlimGapps from the official page (slimroms.net) and save them in your phone.

Go to cwm (press volume down when the led turns on on the Sony logo screen during boot.

If you want, make a backup in cwm.

Wipe data and cache. Go to advanced and wipe dalvik cache.

Select Install zip from sdcard and choose the ROM. Do the same for the Gapps.

Reboot and you're done.
