Slimkat is already rooted (with koush, same as cm11).
If in any case su prompt doesn't show (usually from a dirty flash), go to the developer option menu:
Settings > Developer Options
Change root access to App and ADB (you can change back). This is to activate the superuser permission.
Then reboot.
Good luck!
Thanks, I have gotten root access working again.
Coming from Android 4.1.2 with no profile support (I am guessing it's the profile), how can I access the old internal sdcard0 area. In clockwork mod, I can see this sdcard0 data, which is where I have the slimkat Rom installer and gapps installer, but when i boot the rom i am getting a virtualized sdcard0, pointing to a folder 0 i think, which is a subfolder of the old /sdcard0. I wanted to access my old data as well as clean it up.
Edit:
Never mind, I found the old sdcard0 data under /data/media, and the new sdcard under /data/meda/0.

A slight bug, the wifi connection seems to stall sometimes (especially notice this as I am restoring games that have 500mb+ data to download), and then after a little bit it works again.
Anyone else seen this bug?
Edit:
I found its a little better behaved if I turn off the setting to conserve battery while wifi is on, in the wifi settings area.

Cannot thank you enough for keeping our device alive!
Question please, is the microphone fix that is implemented in your CM11 implemented in this ROM too?

I installed this on my sch-i815 and did a data and cache wipe. Everything looks good except my device reboot randomly. This happens even if I am running the latest omni rom. I could be doing anything , in the browser, settings etc there is a 2 to 3 second pause and bam i reboots.
I would say in the 3 hours I was playing with this ROM it rebooted at least 8 times.
Anyway to fix or address this ?
Thanks for your great work.

Yeah, same codes are shared but don't know if it work...:cyclops:
I have put a new ril lib to test the Mobile data (since last omni). It might cause the random reboot.
That's why I need to get an i815 which has more hardware difference...
In the mean time, I'll revert the ril blob in the next build.
Hi, did you get random reboot as @insomnia?

Daniel : any log or information I can provide to help you track the reboot issue ?
I do not have mobile service, and I even tried disabling mobile data but it still reboots.
Thanks

Just flashed in SlimKat 4.1 and got the latest GApps AIO package from SlimKat site, noticed the following issues:
1. Google Play doesn't show up. While other Gapps seems to be installed, but none works because Google Play is not there.
2. Screen Rotation is erractic.
3. Camera doesnt work.
4. Notification pulldown works(Top left), but am not able to pulldown the status bar(Top Right), when i lay my finger on the top right of the screen, the bar will show up, but just unable to pull it down.
Pretty sure its something that i did wrong, but need help to point it out.
was using erobot 4.2 previously, and Using CWM 6.0.4.5,
i copied the SlimKat4.1 zip and GApps.zip into my sdcard,
wiped user data/Factory Reset, Wiped Cache, Wiped Dalvik Cache
Install the SlimKat 4.1 zip, and wiped all again, then reboot to CWM.
Install the GApps.zip, and wiped all again, then reboot to system normally.
any help is appreciated.
Thanks!

Thank you Daniel.
Flashed yesterday,
I disagree with above issues except nr 3.
I have only GPS (not working) and Camera trouble. Front and back camera are not seeing anything, fully black..
I wonder if, I install, another camera app can work out...

why does the launcher is very laggy
i think im gonna switch back to your omni build
Try Nova, much better IMHO then Google one.
+1 , but I couldn't recover it even after reboot. It worked just first time.
Also had some freezes and had to force reset.

Hi all
I'm trying this on my P6810 and its working really nicely, no reboot issues and all very smooth. The only glitches I'm having are
the clock app wont run, just says it has stopped (clocks do that sometimes!) and
when streaming bluetooth the volume control is controlling media volume and not bluetooth volume.
Otherwise its great and thanks to the developers for their hard work. Love my P6810, nothing else of this quality build on the market and still very useable.

bids on sch i815
found two for sale here in the states. one is buy now 75 broke glass - i sent an offer for 50 - waiting
The other is for auction on ebay - nothing broke but no bids or min so i put in 50 there also. five days for that auction.
I am sure you will post if you get one although I would not care if i was to get a working one for 50. Don't really need a third tab but who could complain.

SlimKat was one of the first few released right after the Official Kitkat released. As its name implied, it has the smallest footprint and yet it has some of the cool stuff. I plan to port it for a long time. Although there are still issues in my Kitkat roms, I want to add this to our list. Enjoy!
*** Slimrom is rooted, in any case if root is lost, follow this ***
*** To disable media scanning: Settings > Advanced Options ***
Release Note:
2015/1/6
New bluetooth patch can't turn off.Flash this View attachment bluetooth-patch2.zip in recovery will fix it. Gool luck!
2014/12/30
New bluez doesn't work on 4.4.4. A patch is needed. If bluetooth is not working, flash this View attachment 3089546 in recovery. Gool luck!
2014/12/15
No more update now so this is the final release. Slimkat 8.20. Enjoy
2014/10/10
It is the outraging and encouraging monment for Hong Kong. The protest for democracy is ongoing. Difficulties show what men are!
I returned home for changing and refreshing. It's been too long for an update and Slim is now 8.4.
2014/8/16
Slim is now 7.2.1. In this build, I add the performance settings to advance settings. In GPU settings, a new option Mali_use_vpll is added. This enables the frequency lock of mali and is the way to add frequency steps. Stock is disabled. Turn it off will return to stock values.
goo.im takes a few minutes to show and I can't display the files in AFH. I don't know why hosts always give me hard time...

Just check my new slim build. Voice search and input is ok. I'll try to relase the new slim this weekend.
Make sure wifi is connected. Voice input requires to connect togoogle server.
If nothing helps, you may try a factory rest. Some data might be corrupted.
Good luck!

To be honest, I really don't know what you meant by tearing. Something about scrolling? but I try a lot of scrolling. Didn't observe any apparent abnormality.
May be a bit laggy right after boot. Background process are still running.
eg. account login, fstrim, media scan (which can be disabled in advance settings), etc
If you want to report something, you need to let me know what it is. Treat me like your grannie.
Take a video and explain as detail as possible. Test it before install/restore any app. And next time state which model you have...
I haven't changed OV/UV for a long long time. Just checked, still there. Clear your app data or try others.
Occasionally clean up or better still format your /data is a good habit. Fragments or lost data might grow as time passes.
To all,
I want to answer every question. But if it is already stated in posts, I rather let you find out yourself instead of repeating again and again...
Read the posts first, someone might have already spent time sharing his experience. Most of the time, you would get your answer.
Good luck!

Google Maps?! Obviously, you can get it from Play, right? :cyclops:
Media scanning will be done at boot. Depends on how much data is in your SD(internal and/or external). If they are quite full, the first time would take much longer to scan. Tab might respond laggy and consume power. After the first scan, it would not be noticible. That is the way new Android behave. You may disable it.
If it is right after the first boot, It might be the media scanning mentioned above.
Haven't touch graphic part for a few months. :cyclops:
