You might wanna increase DPI in that case.

Spectacular I'm glad a lot of the ROM works. As for icon size, Slimkat likes toning down the UI size for elegance. I've grown attached to it

DPI is at 370, which is exactly what it's at on the Nexus 5

thanks! downloading now, will test the room this evening.

Great to see slimkat for Mi3.
What are the bugs? Sensors work?

None yet, judging from user feedback, and no idea. I don't own the device, but decided to spend the last 2 nights (kept me awake for a bit) to build this

Fully wipe your device from Recovery if you are not coming from SlimKat already.

I wiped everything but the SD card (to keep the installation file at least on the device), but I got bootloop after flashing the ROM and the according gapps package to both partitions. My previous ROM was a stable, 4.3 based official MIUI, and I have a CWM 6.0.4.8 by furiel.

Any idea how it went wrong? Do I also need to wipe the SD card?

can you share a kmesg? I have a fair number of people saying theirs are fine, so i need to investigate any anomalies. just to make sure it's not the obvious candidate: is your device a cancro? try the cm in original android development just for sure, as it uses the same kernel.

 

[s4tch]

Yes, it is a cancro, it is original, no doubt. I'll try to install an other CM-based ROM first, maybe I'll figure out something.

Do I need to wipe the SD card anyway?

Usually not....strange...Did the other users wipe their sd cards?

 

[s4tch]

OK, I got it working. I wrote this earlier: "My previous ROM was a stable, 4.3 based official MIUI" - that was the problem. I flashed the latest 4.8.8 developer ROM, than the SlimKat, and voilá, it's working. Camera works, UI is very fast, there's plenty of free RAM.

For those who have not used slim roms before, to enable root, follow this simple guide:

Yes

on a side note, can you guys use the Q/A Thread?

 

[k4mik4z]

Wow I'm so happy this is so fast!! Currently I'm in a situation, I can't experiment with phone, but once I get out of it, I will be flashing Roms,
But I had no hope there will be a developer room! But I'm so really happy I couldn't help posting this, kudos to Op, you are simply awesome
So excited

Flashed the rom, using cwm with TDB enabled.

Flashing in system 2 doesn't work. Had to flash in system 1.
Wifi stuck at "Obtaining IP Address" - Anyone else? Any workaround?
**Changing the contents of /system/etc/wifi/ with the one in attached file fix my wifi**

Camera is working both still pics and video. Though video is by default set to 4k, had to change it before start recording.

Thanks for the awesome work. :good::cowboy:

 

[Shahan_mik3]

[s4tch]
