[xswxm]

What features does this have?

I have already mentioned in my post, xslim is an ultra slim officail ROM.

 

[xswxm]

Does support C6806 LTE?

it should be ok on c6806, but because of the shell command in xslim, maybe it will flash the c6802's firmware and you would get no signal for your phone.
after all, tks for your question, i will try to solve this problem.

ok, i have built a zip package for the modem of C6806, while if it's work or not, I don't know.
If your want to test, please flash an official kernel or the kernel provided here using flashtool, then flash XSLIM, and then flash modem_for_c6806_test_1.0.zip.
Wish it works all right.

 

[xswxm]

no signal on C6802

really? could you provide your firmware(".ftf" format) you flashed before, better with download link. Thanks!

Now i have build an package for the modeom dumped from "C6802_14.4.A.0.108_Customized_HK.ftf", pls flash this package after XSLIM.
Wish it works fine.

 

[KiiKeEp]

All working very well, only one problem, I can't install "WolframAlfa" app, it says is not compatible, and in other official based Roms I can install it without problem :/

I've try to flash fota modem & stock kernel on "C6802_14.4.A.0.108_Generic_IN.ftf", i got same issue "no signal"

Pls try to flash this modem i dumped from "C6802_14.4.A.0.108_Customized_HK.ftf"

 

[xswxm]

All working very well, only one problem, I can't install "WolframAlfa" app, it says is not compatible, and in other official based Roms I can install it without problem :/

because i have simplified the google services (app, priv-app & lib...), and some apps relaing on google service may get fc or others unknown problems like cannot be installed, you can use XSLIM to delete the Google Services and then try to flash an full google services package.
wish it will help you.
