SlimRoms is a custom android operating system. The main goal is to offer users a slimmed down but still feature rich alternative to other android operating systems.
The entire SlimTeam work together to bring you this tailor-made beauty straight from Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code.
All of the sources can be publicly viewed through GitHub and you can stop by the public Gerrit to submit patches of any type.

Note
Since this is Alpha build Bugs are bound to Happen.

SlimLP is the project name for SlimRoms based on Android 5.1.1 Lollipop and offers the following original features:
  • Slim Dialer
    • A full replacement of the official Google closed source dialer with added features. - We've got you covered.
  • Privacy guard
    • Disable unnecessary permissions set by app developers. - Privacy is part of the experience.
  • Slim Center [WIP]
    • Downloads, contact information, system app removal. - More fun than you can shake a stick at.
  • System-Wide Keyboard Controls
    • Rotation, cursor control, optional emoticons..etc. - You'll be tapping away to your heart's content.
  • Custom Shortcuts [WIP]
    • Hardware keys, Navigation Ring, Navigation Bar, Lockscreen, Tiles, Notifications etc. - Customize it the way you like it.

Hello people, this is the first public build of SlimLP for grouper on 5.1. Soon tilapia will follow

While internal testing was successful, I need someone to check out how it behaves in real life scenarios. Features included but not tested are f2fs support ( /data and /cache) and multirom.
Let me know of any bugs/missing features and other annoyances. Cheers

Is USB audio working and is DSP Manager functioning with it? Never tried SlimKat and would be eager to try this but headphone amp on this tablet is terrible.

BTW, it works on CM but they use half-baked AudioFX instead of DSP Manager.

all slim builds have audioFX by default. DSP manager is ancient and it's phased out ;)

It may be ancient but it has the Bauer stereophonic to binaural transformation which IMO is essential when using headphones.

On CM12 (from last month, at least) AudioFX doesn't even work with USB audio, though it works with headphone port.

So the question remains, do USB DACs work on this ROM?

Thanks for the new build, happy to see that you're carrying on for grouper. I really like layers and I know that Slim has not yet committed to it for 5.1.1. Will you possibly be cherry-picking layers commits in the meantime from @ezio84 in your future builds, or will your builds be pretty much straight from source?

Thanks again,
Mike T

Installed just fine on multiboot as secondary rom. No issues so far. Installed all my apps ok. Looking good.

Hi, due to time restrictions, I'll mostly release mainline merged code and possibly experimental on device trees. That is subject to change in the future

Just flashed.
F2FS (data/cache) works fine.
I will report back if there is any problem found.
Good work!
Nice to hear. keep it up!
Please port IBSS mode on this ROM from CM or at least show how it could be done on slimrom. :(
I thought we were supporting ad-hoc.. I'll take a look

The download link is dead. Rom is not available on old SlimRom site. Anyone have a link ? Have used Slim in the past and loved it. Would like to try 5.1.1.
