This is an unofficial ROM which I have built from source.

Unique SlimBean Features
• The real dark Slim - Invert the whole ROM including Gapps with one click.
• Notification drawer and and lockscreen shortcuts - Access your most important apps from everywhere.
• Custom Quick Settings Tiles - Why just settings? Use whatever you want.
• SlimPIE - Based on CM's PIE, inspired by PA's PIE with a light touch of Slim. A true community feature.
Camera - Discover our unique Camera feature we are now using the google camera
• much more

SlimRom Addons / SlimRom Stuff
• gapps are no longer included, so use any gapps package you like, for example the gapps from opengapps. There are some problems when using Slim Gapps
Slim Settings Navigation (by SlimRom for slimbean (android 4.3) - hope this will help by navigation through the settings)

Take care about what bootloader you are using, this ROM is only for the new bootloader.

Always create a backup before flashing, to have a rescue option when something bad happen.

IMPORTANT NOTE before installing
Create a backup of your existing rom.
You can't go back by just flashing over an older android version.

Clean install is recommended

Installation
new installation
(if you are coming from other roms)

  • Download the zip file
  • Reboot to recovery
  • make a factory reset (wipe all)
  • Flash zip and gapps
  • reboot
update

  • Reboot to recovery
  • wipe cache and dalvik cache
  • flash the zip
  • reboot
ota
OTA can be found here: Settings -> About Phone -> System Updates

If you are using "SlimKat 4.4.4 (build 6.9 - 20140729-2210)" and you like to use OpenDelta OTA, you have to replace the apk.
I had an error inside the OpenDelta config, so the included app wont finde any updates (This is fixed in later releases).
To replace you will need to use adb and replace the apk (apk can be found at the end of the thread). Therefore open comand window and type:
- adb root
- adb remount
- adb push OpenDelta.apk system/priv-app/

How to change filesystem to f2fs?
Since 8.4 this rom uses f2fs as filesystem for system and data partition.
Here is how to change the file system:
- Use the latest twrp recovery with f2fs support form here.
- Boot into Recovery
- Select Wipe (1)
- Choose Advanced Wipe (2)
- Choose system and data (only one at a time) and than select Repait or Change File System (3)
- Select Change File System (4)
- Select F2FS (5)

Test to install with full wipe and with none-neon gapps and found first boot take a little bit longer time and got many error about setting can't do any thing so decide to make new install with slim gapps YES i can pass to use the phone like normal rom :good: BUT now switch back to JB because

-WIFI not work as said at OP but I need wifi.
-InternalSD not mount and error notification said blank sdcard or unsupport BUT external sdcard can use via /storage/sdacrd1 so /dtorage/sdcard0 unuseable.
-Camera and gallery force close I think because of not detect internalSD.
-random reboot BUT it very fast to back to lockscreen.

hope WIFI work next version and will test again.

I am trying to fix wifi next.
Than internal sd-card will follow. I think I know what needs to be changed. Now that the phone boots again, I can do something. :)

On LG E610 L5 there have also been reported some issues regarding wifi, not sure if the same as here, but on L5 the issue are related to wifi cryptation where wep and wpa2 works, but not uncrypted......just wanted to mention just in case. @PecanCM works on it.
Thanks, I will take a look at it.
I know the people from PecanCM, so if its the same problem it should be easy to ask them for help.
