SlimRoms presents: Slim7 Nougat
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.

Slim7 is the project name for SlimRoms based on Android 7.0.X Nougat.

Although some of these may not be present yet in the ROM, Slim typically offers the following original features:

• Slim Navbar & Hardware key rebinding
  
  ​

  • ​An​ ​Open​ ​source,​ ​feature​ ​filled​ ​launcher!​​ ​-Make yourself at home.

Flashing instructions:

Coming from another ROM, OR if a CLEAN FLASH is required

1. Download the Slim7 zip file (See Post #2)
2. Download a 7.0 GApps package(optional - See Post #2)
3. Boot into recovery (TWRP)
4. Full wipe (Dalvik Cache, Cache, System, Factory Data Reset)

6. Flash Nougat-compatible GApps
7. Reboot

3) Flash the Slim7 zip file.
4) Wipe Dalvik & Cache then Reboot
5) Please give first boot a good few minutes

IMPORTANT - PROBLEMS/ISSUES:
For one, this is a Alpha Build. That means not all the features would be present. It is NOT Called a Stable Build. So if having your phone working just the perfect or is mission critical, then this isn't for you.

Having said that, I do want to know the issues or Feature requests if any. However, if you want to report issues, I need the following:

Logs from you (logcat, last_kmsg, dmesg) linked to on pastebin.com or hasteb.in, showing the failure. A clear description of the steps that I need to take to exactly reproduce the problem.

Please DO NOT complain about problems without offering ways to reproduce them. I need you to help me help you.

Oh and 2 last Things.

1. NO ETA REQUESTS!
2. No Best Kernel Discussions. Although in subsequent posts I have linked Nougat Kernels, any discussion thereto needs to be in THAT thread.

Great ROM, thank you for your work.

Sweet! Haven't rocked slim in a long while. I'm ready to dive back in. Hoping it's Fi friendly

Works great on VZW so far. Thanks :good:

 

[SFG]

I'm sure I'm overlooking something but my phone is stuck in portrait mode. Quicktiles is in autorotate, autorotate is selected under display settings. Tried multiple launchers including nova.

Fresh install

Confirmed on Slim Launcher or Google Now Launcher.

Love customizable nav buttons (size and adding stuff like torch, screen off, menu, etc.). First ROM in Nougat to allow this :good:

Thanks both. Noted and am able to reproduce. Post #2 updated. Will add that in next build.

Awesome job Perseus! I think from the not so scary working/not working list, I'll be flashing this soon. Feedback will follow. :highfive:

Appreciate it. Look forward to that ?

Do Substratum themes work with this?

Domination does but took several tries to enable without errors. If errors out, restart and manually enable features from point of crash (including item that crashed)

 

[Perseus]

Appreciate it. Look forward to that ?

Can you please try some other launchers other than the stock Slim Launcher and see if the orientation works ? I am using Pixel Launcher and it did rotate for me.

 

[SFG]

Will do. I need to run a backup and then I'll reinstall to test. Give me a few hours on that.

Installed and running smooth! Got dt2w enabled, didn't have that on my stock 7. Missed it.

Still setting up and messing around. But nice to be back on Slim. All my devices ever have ran slim frequently. :good:

Kudos to the chef! :highfive:

Edit: About rotation. Nova doesn't rotate, or apps. But, I ran Netflix, and it rotated when the video started. Then, phone was stuck on landscape, for everything, til the screen timed out. When I woke the phone, portrait was back. So not a huge deal. Turning screen off then on brings back portrait anyway. But no auto rotate for anything. Hope that info helps.

Edit 2: Camera no rotate. Just reporting, but I guess this is known issue, so I'll shut up.

If you still have it installed can you test to see if the rotation works on the pixel launcher. Was about to run a backup and reinstall to test but it'd be nice if you could save me the time. ?

Sorry it took so long. I was able to get slim7 fresh installed to test the pixel and Google launchers and both failed to switch to landscape after I enabled autorotation.
