Loving the app overall, but I can't figure out how to customize the hardware keys either. As of right now, if the app doesn't include a software menu button, there's no way to press menu unless you enable the navigation bar and just deal with the redundant buttons.

You can use pie controls as a workaround

Anyone more users with feedback? Love Slim on my phone and would like to introduce my friend who just picked up an M7 as long as there are no major bugs. Normally I would test a rom myself, but can't under the circumstances.

Thanks

I've been using for a about a week, and I like it so far overall...One issue I'm having however, is that every time I leave wifi, I have to toggle airplane mode to get me 3g/4g to kick in. Don't know what's causing that?

Also where are all the Slim features I've come to love with SlimBean!! I miss my horizontal notification toggles, among other things. Hopefully be here with an update soon?

Also I'll be trying the new 2.8 build shortly, so hopefully that'll fix my network issue.

Hmm sounds like a spr specific issue. Don't suppose you know if I happens on recent cm 11 builds?

Hyy @Flinny are you planning on adding the theme chooser engine in the ROM?
Not the one CM has/we had in 4.3 no. It's old, buggy and can be improved on :) Something's being worked on though....

the options in this rom are all mixed in with aosp stock settings, makes no sense at all to set it up that way, very hard to navigate and find the custom stuff
That's the exact opposite to most of the feedback we got about it, things are in their logical places.. Display stuff is under display... Navigation stuff under Navigation, I personally see no reason for things to be split off, it makes things less intuitive when you have 2 sets of display settings etc.

nope, it keeps happening on 2.8 too
Lemme throw some patches into a build for you to try..... I'll send you a link later.
