Flashed the ROM, been using it for the couple of hours and honestly it's flawless and super smooth. (Ask me, I use 1.5x Animation Scales).
The best part of all, U-TOUCH has been implemented and works just fine.
This is the very first build so it's very close to complete stock Android but that's very understandable. However, will certainly be looking forward to newer builds with more functionality included.
Also, flashed SuperSU to gain root access and no issues with that either.

However, MX Player did indicate some error (screenshot attached) but nevertheless didn't affect video playback.
Also, tried to change DPI manually in build.prop file which works on every ROM used but here somehow the default value gets restored on reboot.
Anyhow, fantastic ROM! Will be following the development closely.
Thanks a lot!

I was using NucleaRom Nougat previously and I'm sorry I didn't use SlimRom 7 for long enough to measure the battery consumption. Since the ROM is in very initial stages it lacks extra features like network speed monitor etc which I rely upon a lot.
But having said that, I'll be really looking forward to updates of this ROM since it's AOSP based and really very smooth and when Xposed framework for Android 7.0 comes out, it's going to be a delight using this ROM.
I think for the sake of getting the feel, you should try this ROM.
And I think battery life should be better than other ROMs since it comes with minimum preinstalled apps and services.
