WHAT'S WORKING:
Everything

WHAT'S BROKEN:
Mostly nothing. Camera, as you know, is the same as all other MM ROMs.

Instructions:
If you need them, this ROM probably isn't for you. However, here they are.

-> The new kernel requires the new bootloader that comes with the .236 official update. So make sure you've flashed that FTF atleast once.
-> Make sure you have a compatible recovery. TWRP-3.0.0-0 in the new recovery partition is recommended.
-> Wipe data/Factory reset.
-> Flash ROM, and then GApps.
-> Reboot. Profit!

DOWNLOADS:
All builds can be found on my AndroidFileHost folder linked below. It is recommended to use Open GApps.

Sources:
This ROM is based off OmniROM's sources for our device.

Changelog

[B][U]20-May-2016[/U][/B]
-> Use UBERTC v5.2 for kernel (old one was 4.8)
-> PowerHAL permissions fix for random reboots in deep sleep.
-> Latest slim updates

[B][U]12-May-2016[/U][/B]
-> Switch to AICP trees
-> ROM and Kernel compiled with UBER toolchain
-> Sensors and other misc. issues mostly fixed.

[B][U]10-May-2016[/U][/B]
-> Initial bring-up.

Info:
As of the latest build, I have switched to AICP based trees, which means everything works fine now. Camera works of course, and takes great photos in good lighting. In low light, however, you will face issues. Only the stock camera app is able to handle 20.7MP pictures, but 3rd party apps do work, albeit at a lower resolution. Full manual controls are present of course, and other than some lag and occasional crashes, you should be pretty happy with the camera. At least I am. We must wait for Sony to bring in further improvements.

fast but too basic, nothing is tweak-able.

Yep, Slim6 is basically a WIP, and they haven't merged much of their staging commits to their stable branch. Right now, as I said, it's basically a glorified AOSP ROM, but more to come soon.

its pretty good, if it had cm13 theme engine, I'd stick to it,brings back memories of Paranoid Android.

 

[gauravbhakuni90]

Looking forward to it.

Pretty Good

I've decided to stick with this rom for now, its fast and has less bugs than other MM roms I've used, one bug that freezes the phone on my side is when I open the gallery.
Other than that, with Gravity box and Layers Manager I have no complaints.

First off, you should try posting in those threads for issues with those ROMs.
Second, disable screen lock sound in Sounds -> Advanced Sound (whatever).

Sorry for that i accidentally replied here . Anyways your solution(disabling screen lock ) didn't help but what interesting is when i flashed your rom . The music runs fine with screen locked and the option enabled which you said to disable . So i guess i'll stick with slim . I don't want no fancy features kinda like pure aosp but only thing i want is theme . Will layer manager work here ??
Thanks .

Edit 1 - Found out the default music app which is in RR/AICP was giving the problem after i installed power amp , VLC and other app . No such thing was found and by chance your rom didn't had any default music app .Hope this helps .

Again, you should've probably posted that in those threads, seeing as this ROM doesn't have that issue.
And yes, all MM ROMs have layers support by default, even pure AOSP.
