This is by far the most stable rom I've used on my i9300, at least perfomance and free ram-wise. Would it be possible for someone to build this with latest security patches? I've flashed the stagefright patched version, but it's been quite a while since those were fixed.

I've been using CM13 and now CM12.1, but IMHO this ROM, Slimkat 9.0, is the best I've ever had. I'm currently weighing whether sticking to Lollipop or "sacrificing" the latest features for a stable ROM. I'm this close to switching to this ROM again, this close.

Hi.
This rom is by far the greatest Rom that i've ever had on mY S3 (yeap, Samsung S3 is still my primary phone).
But sometimes i wonder to update it...any chanche to have another Slimrom for S3, with a more recent Android Version?

There are no further updates for this ROM. You may want to look at Resurrection Remix or crDroid for Nougat ROMs. Even then, that's where it stops as there are no Oreo builds for the i9300.

Thanks for the answer. I will look at them, but for me most important thing is to have a ROM which is lightweight and with nothing except the 3-4 features that I use. So, Slimkat is prefect, but the possibility of having a more modern Android is quite tempting.
Also, in my previous post, I didn't mention that I am running right now with a Slimkat version, so I have Android 4.4.2. and this is why I am considering an update.

Mirror link???

2020. The BEST ROM for i9300! Please re upload SlimKat somewhere.

All other ROM is a big bloatware.

    Some hints:

    1. Keep in mind that this are early beta stage builds!!!!!! Means bugs can happen. So please only use this builds if you want to help us and iron out the bugs with proper bugreports etc (see third post about how to submit a bugreport)

    2. Be sure you are on latest CWM recovery!!!!!! download it here:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2200501

    3. Not all gapps packages right now are nice working. You can try others but at least I know that the one linked here is working (it only does not have the new google launcher). If you have other gapps which are working you can link it here of course

    4. Full wipe when coming from any 4.3 rom (as well format system manually please)


    Download:

    please only use our gapps for now

    Reporting Bugs

    When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist.

    The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.

    1. Make a nandroid backup.

    2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
    Now we have two different ways depending on what kind of problem you're having.

    3a. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.

    3b. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
    Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
    Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
    Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.

    4. Start a logcat recording and reproduce the bug (if possible more than once) while taking the logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat read this tutorial or this.

    5. Post the logcat in a txt file (this is important because you otherwise clog up the threads with your log) in the correct thread.
    Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.

    6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).

    Lots of roms are based on SLIM but what you have to remember is the amount of devices that we now maintain means stability across the entire spectrum of our supported devices is of paramount importance to the entire team. Maintaining a handful of devices is much easier, especially when the hard work has been done by someone else. No disrespect to other rom builders for porting our rom (and giving credit in their op) but our aim is to make stable builds and then implement the amazing,unique features that makes SLIMROMS such a success amongst our huge following of users. And all for free (other than the odd donation) i might add. ;)
