NOTES - MUST READ

1. All credits goes to @Grarak for making the sources. The kernel, device and vendor sources are using Grarak's sources as base + the changes i've did. Also I've been able to build by using Google Cloud platform since my PC is crap... It took me 1h 30m to build with Google Cloud platform, while with my PC was still building after 7h of building and then got an error regarding my PC (was too slow or out of memory).
2. You dont have to flash root because it is included.
3. Don't use encryption. I don't know why, but Grarak mentioned this on his twitter at the last build for CAN-L01.
4. ROOT is included. Enable it from Settings > Developer Options > Root access.
5. The DPI is set smaller by default. However, you can change that in Settings > Display.
6. SlimRom team has abandoned the development of MM version, so there wont be any other release unless there are fixes / improvements to the sources.
7. Few screenshots are attached at the end of this post.

SlimRoms is a custom android operating system. Our main goal is to offer users a slimmed down yet 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 our public Gerrit to submit patches of any type.

Slim6 is the project name for SlimRoms based on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow and offers the following original features:

• Slim Navbar & Hardware key rebinding
  • ​Single tap action,​​ ​long press action, double tap action!-We’ve got you covered.
• Slim Actions & Chamber of secrets
  • ​Customise your device to the fullest​​ ​-You’re a wizard!
• SlimRecents
  • A Faster alternative to stock recents ​-Your device, your choice.
• SlimLauncher
  • ​An​ ​Open​ ​source,​ ​feature​ ​filled​ ​launcher!​​ ​-Make yourself at home
• Status bar customisations
  • ​Clock and Date? Battery? ​-More​ ​fun​ ​than​ ​you​ ​can​ ​shake​ ​a​ ​stick​ ​at.

Requirements

- Huawei Nova CAN-L11
- EMUI 4.1 (Android 6.0). I've flashed it successfully from EMUI 5 ( Android 7.0) too and I didn't encounter any problems.
- Unlocked bootloader ( here's a guide about how to unlock it)
- TWRP by @Grarak. I don't know if it works with the other TWRP.

Installation

Make sure you meet the requirements listed above.

1. Download the ROM and put it on sdcard. If you want GAPPS too, then download Open Gapps too (choose arm64, 6.0 and pico).
2. Reboot in TWRP by pressing all 3 buttons (Volume UP + Volume Down + Power).
3. Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik-cache.
4. Flash the ROM from the directory where you've placed it.
5. Flash GAPPS (OPTIONALLY).
6. Reboot.

Bugs / Changelog

Bugs

- offline charging / offline charging animation : it seems to show ??/100. Probably i'm missing something. It will be fixed in next build. Offline charging means when phone is charging, but it is turned off.

Same as LOS:
- FM-Radio (at this moment the app isn't even included)
- signal icon becomes empty / gray when you are using 3G, but the network is working
- camera recording / video playback issues (sometimes, when you play the recorded video it gets stuck / frozen)
- camera doesn't work for some people, while for me and others works

If you've found a bug, please report it along with a logcat.

Some info

I've made following changes to Slim6:

- added microG support
- fixed drag-n-drop for SlimLauncher (paged drawer style). @YAJATapps from github is the one who shared the fix. This bug was left by the team of Slim ROM since the development of Slim6 has stopped.

I don't think that i will do other changes (such Substratum or something else) because this rom is meant to be slim, you know..


The following changes were done few days ago and will be available in next build of LOS too, but i won't make a new LOS build just for those changes:

- allow emergency numbers in call log
- enabled extended font support
- enabled TARGET_BOOTANIMATION_HALF_RES to speed up boot: more details here
- init.qcom.usb.rc: removed HiSuite
- unlocked 2160p for YouTube: found this here and the XDA article is here. Test it with this video. If you can't see 2160p resolution, then try to clear data and cache at Youtube app and then reboot. Note that i didn't notice any difference at all, but the XDA article says that there are improvements. If you encounter problems with that resolution (such lags or something), then just don't use it.
