Security updates

Hi to all,
Just want to say that update the security patches here will be a bit tricky and will probably need more time since they need to be backported.
Cheers!

@Rortiz2 I just wanted to say how grateful I am for all your work. Thank you so much for this, one of my favorite ROMs.

Thanks for your work! Can anyone say how this performs compared to the LineageOS ROM?

They're almost the same. The principal difference is that this one is more customizable.
Cheers!

EDIT: Also video recording is working on this one

One thing I noticed is that the long wait before starting Google Store download reduced a lot, now less than 30 seconds. This might be due to the version of gapps, but very comfortable for me.

Really? What version of GApps are you using?

So I'm assuming no need to flash Magisk with this ROM for root? Or is that missing in the steps by accident?

No,
SuperSU is included in the ROM. You can flash Magisk aswell, which will uninstall SuperSU.
I forgot to add it in first post
Cheers!

Slimrecents bug

If i open majisk go to home if I don't force stop majisk before I press the recent button system ui crashes.

 

[dontpanic-xda]

No,
You need to flash SuperSU or Magisk to get ROOT.

It looks like there's a older version of SuperSU installed by default.

If you go to Settings, and scroll down to "System", there's a "SuperSU" button.

Yep, since flashed Magisk and deleted it didn't noticed.
Thanks!

Cheers.

Did you use this version with the Lineage ROM as well?

 

[Korin67]

Did you use this version with the Lineage ROM as well?

Well, in LOS12.1 I used a little bit older version, I forgot the version, sorry. Anyway, this version of gapps works like a charm in SlimLP. Now SlimLP is my favorite ROM, I will be stick to this ROM.

No. If you want to pass safety net, use Magisk Hide Props.
Cheers.
