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.

Slim8 is the project name for SlimRoms based on Android 8.1 Oreo and offers the following original features:

Slim Navbar & Hardware key rebinding

Slim Actions & Chamber of secrets
Customize 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 customization
Clock and Date? Battery? ​-More​ ​fun​ ​than​ ​you​ ​can​ ​shake​ ​a​ ​stick​ ​at.

Code:

Kernel and GPL concerns
I'm actually not violating any GPL license due to the unreleased kernel source from Huawei.
The kernel used here, it's just the stock one without anykind of modification.
As the kernel sources will be released by our beloved Huawei Opensource department, it'll be added over here.


Support
I'm do offering support and some chitty-chat times over this Telegram group (over XDA support of course).
Feel free to join.
