FAQ

Flashing Instructions -

First Time flashing Slim6

1. Make sure you have latest TWRP installed.
2. Make a nandroid of your current ROM.
3. Wipe everything except for internal storage and external SD card if you using one. Clean Flash is mandatory.
4. Flash ROM + Gapps. I use Open GAPPS Pico. Adam uses Open GAPPS Micro on his V400. You can use GAPPS of your choice, but it is advised to stick to recommended GAPPS.
5. Reboot.
6. Enjoy the awesomeness.

Updating Slim6 build

1. Dirty flash ROM and GAPPS.
2. Reboot.

If you want, you can wipe Cache, Dalvik/ ART Cache and System before flashing ROM and GAPPS. Do not forget to flash GAPPS.

Root

The ROM has root built-in. You can enable it under Developer Options.

WARNING - DO NOT FLASH SUPERSU. THE TAB WON'T BOOT.

Strange. I do not use SD Card, so I cannot confirm. May be @Adam Myczkowski can give us some logic behind this?

From the mountpoints in device tree it should support any type. Can you check if it works on CM13 or not? If it doesn't work on CM13 fefifofum did not add support for exFAT yet, alternatively you can reformat your sd card to FAT32, Im 100% sure theres a tool that allows you to format storages bigger than 32GB into FAT32 which should be supported by any rom. I've got 16 and 32GB cards for my G4 and G Pad 7.0 formated to FAT32 and never had any issues.

I just tested with 32GB SD Card formatted to FAT32, and it works well in TWRP and ROM.

 

[k3wlar]

This problem I had earlier ... unfortunately we can not use FAT32 because I often zip and rar files larger than 2 gigabytes and films more than 2GB ..and if I remember correctly for FAT 32 file one registration is limited to 2 gigabytes
what amazes me that there is no support for NTFS twrp 3.0.2
clean cm13 try and let you know how it went

Let us know how it goes..

So I successfully applied cm13 .sdcard works as it should. from five at the beginning .. and wipe again applied SLIM ... and now exFAT works ... do not know what it was but nothing here changed the sdcard. Barrel is that it already goes

Im glad to hear it. It might have been some internal error or something with sdcard itself, that can happen sometimes.

Good to hear you got it working.

My tablet feels smoother than ever on this ROM.

Thanks to Adam. :good:

 

[k3wlar]

I'm sorry but I have a back problem .. I have some applications that require root .. unfortunately, one that is built into the system for some reason is not working as it should.
tried here on supersu.2.46 bootlop..... then I tried 2.76 bootlop again .....

Any suggestions on how to solve it?

edit : Then I tried the 2.76-SYSTEM MODE ... bootloop

Can you hold this till tomorrow? I don't have access to my tablet to test. I flashed 2.76 system mode before putting together the FAQ and had no problem. But let me confirm again tomorrow.

Slim does not support superuser, you need to go to developer options and enable root for apps and adb.

So it is a pity .. but nothing can do nothing but wait
