Wow...I'm impressed and from what I can see it is the best KitKat Build available on S3.

Running this on my T-mobile T999 unlocked and rooted and your version 5.2 is running perfectly so far. Few items of interest that I need include:

• Bluetooth - works perfectly for me and my headsets
• Clean Interface
• Open Ended Customization
• Black (everything)

Keep up the great work and Big Thumbs Up! Sorli...

Nicklovell23,

I know this is not in the right forum, but by chance would this work on Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i8190 Mini (International) and presently running native JB and using ATT/Straight Talk cell service?

My wife and I have been waiting patiently for Kit Kat on our S3, but as you are aware both phones were dropped since they wouldn't support Kit Kat and TouchWiz with only 1gb of RAM. SlimKat is working pretty darn perfect and I'm not having any problems with it and not missing TouchWiz at all besides maybe dedicated VOIP (originally provided by T-mobile and that I'm looking now for other options).

Either way, would this be possible and would like your opinion if this can even be done? on a S3 Mini GT-i8190?

Thanks,

Sorli...

I am getting a no root privileges error. Nevermind it has to be activated in Developer Settings.

Thanks

Look for the link for "d2lte" - that's the one you want as it's a unified build that supports all US Variants of the Galaxy S3. It's near the bottom of the list in the second column.

Build I'm using is: Slim-d2lte-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4053

Only change I've made after restoring my apps what setting the default dpi to 300 that is a little closer to S3s default.

So far working very well even without LTE (not supported by my t999).

Launcher request

Installed the rom seem like everything is working ok. I have been using google launcher theme and like it a lot. Is there a way I could install Google Launcher theme on here. The part that I like about google theme is if you say OK Google the search come up with voice recognition. Thanks

Never mind found it it would included in the rom. Thanks

 

[DatNizzle]

Does this have the unrestricted tethering mod?
Since it's not a T-Mobile ROM is it even needed?

Great firmware. Just looking for expanded power menu, if there is one.

Thanks been waiting for slim for awhile


The expanded power menu option is in security which is weird, would of never thought to look for it there.

I love this Rom

This Rom is so clean and so far I haven't had any problems. I just came from liquidsmooth 3.0 beta, and that Rom had a strong UI crash problem. This Rom on the other hand is amazing. Clean, responsive, and customization is noted. Can't wait to see up dates.

 

[rezik1]

Such an amazing ROM.. Everything is running very stable.. Loving the smaller ui as well.. However at low battery percentages(15%) it starts struggling a lot? Is this normal? Maybe the kernel I'm using? I'm on slimkat 5.2 with kt747 kernel

Looks like this is the official build 5.0, not the 5.2 weekly build. Flashed it yesterday - finally got sick of all of the bloatware taking up storage space. Everything I've tried seems to be working as it should. I had run slimrom on a T-959 and really liked it. I'm going to have to change the dpi, though. My eyes are too old to enjoy the default.

Not sure what version I'm using since is reports 5.2, but this ROM is still ROCK Solid. Also bumped my DPI to 300 I think and working much much better for another older guy. :laugh:

Hope to see more from this developer and keep up the great work!!! Sorli...
