Amazing rom! There isn't any noticeable bugs that I can see, multitask is a beast, and battery life so far lasts about the whole day using about 2% battery per hour. I used your pink kernel with intelliplug on. The only thing that seems to not work is changing the governor. It always switches back to interactive. Other than that, very impressive for an alpha build! THANK YOU!

Do i need to flash cm11 first? Got a bootloop

Sent from my XT1052 using XDA Free mobile app
No. But if you're coming from CM a data wipe is needed likely which is why you're probably in a bootloop. CM 11 --> CM12 should be fine with data. CM11 --> other lollipop based roms = most likely a bootloop.

The first boot will take quite awhile so just be patient. Also, it seems I can't set my own ringtones and notification sounds.
Im coming from the original ROM, with root and some mods from Xposed... Did a wipe factory (TWRP), installed ROM and then Gapps, First time took more than 10 minutes to boot and nothing.
Now I did wipe cache, data, dalvik and system, then reinstalled everything... Again it is taking more than 10 minutes to boot.... I will wait more 10... lets see, hope it boots!!!

update: 22 minutes waiting, I guess it will not boot... any ideas?
Thanks guys!:D

Try CWM recovery and see if it'll work.

I first flashed an unofficial build of cm12 (before the issue of builds needing to have cm 11 installed first) then let it boot, then after that go back to recovery and install SlimPL :)
Took 5-10mins to boot

Just flashed the Jan 11 build(with basketbuild 5.0 gapps), seems pretty solid.
Noticed a few things, though:
  • There's no outgoing/incoming indicator for network activity for Wifi and Data(the arrow up/down on their respective icons)
  • Total display seems zoomed out a bit? In a nice way
  • Carrier name on lockscreen is a little to the center, shouldn't it be on the left?
  • Camera's not working for me, even google camera(freezes upon capturing a photo, though can swipe from left to bring up a menu)
  • AudioFX isn't working for me, tried playing around but couldn't get it to work with Google Play Music, can't really tell if it's the player or AudioFX as there's no stock Music player to try on
  • Superuser out of the box is not working, though flashing SuperSU 2.40 worked.
  • Had a random reboot while playing video, probably nothing
Other than what was mentioned, really enjoying this rom and already planning on using it was my daily driver. Cheers!

Great ROM over all. Got a few issues:

1. When you try to import contacts from a backup on the phone it crashes the import (finding file via file manager then opening that way works fine)

2. When I use camera it will take pictures no problem but wont save them. Also when you press the back button when camera is open it won't close. Have press home for it to close. Does this on other camera apps and other lollipop builds so maybe a cm12 issue.

3. When enabling the dark theme in messages it doesn't do anything (cm12 issue would say)

I flashed cleanly per the instructions.

Would be nice to be able to change battery icon and have a clear all under open apps option but these are just extras can love without.

Thanks for your had work so far

Yeah Slim always changes the dpi. But compared to kitkat it is much more humane now.
[*]Carrier name on lockscreen is a little to the center, shouldn't it be on the left?
Cm12 error. In cm 12 fixed since a while
[*]Camera's not working for me, even google camera(freezes upon capturing a photo, though can swipe from left to bring up a menu)
use google camera
[*]AudioFX isn't working for me, tried playing around but couldn't get it to work with Google Play Music, can't really tell if it's the player or AudioFX as there's no stock Music player to try on
[*]Superuser out of the box is not working, though flashing SuperSU 2.40 worked.

All CM12 bugs. Still this has a lot better multitasking

Look above. After a reboot it worked for me

Camera issues persist to Google Camera too, though haven't tried other cameras if any.
