Thanks, Slimrom, light and smooth ...
Good to see another custom ROM for Che2.

 

[Bob1900]

This is great, I am going to try both of these (Slim and RR). What is the main difference between EMUI and SlimROM except for it's smaller? Reviews?

-Newer android version
-Some(most) people like slim/RR/some other custom rom overlay better.
-If you had some problems in EMUI with background user apps stopping (like whatsapp message notifications arriving too late or google photo doesn't sync) you won't have those problems any more.

For me battery in deepsleep goes bit faster on RR than it went on EMUI.
EMUI ~3-8% in 10h
RR ~10-14% in 10h
But maybe it's because the background apps work like you would expect them to work. Or maybe it's something else.

RR ~10-14% in 10h

Thanks. I get only about ~10% per 10h on my EMUI, and I'm running modaco rom, which is a slimmed down version of stock EMUI. I haven't had any problems with background apps or other things on modaco, but I like the idea of finally advancing to Nougat on kirin with a functional dual sim.

What about Apps2SD or adoptable storage? Maybe it's not necessary on Slim or RR? Honor 4x is almost useless without adding some internal storage via some such solution.

I think System will always take ~4GB (unless you do some re-partitioning) so you would still need Apps2SD or adoptable.

 

[ksrt12]

Youtube 720p60 works fine?

No

 

[Gringo03]

hello,

the rom is not compatible with g620s l01

you should edit a link because you put hhttps ^^

Is adoptable storage improved in nougat? It was not good enough in MM to really expand storage, so Apps2SD was needed back then.

No idea, I haven't tested adopted storage because Apps2SD is more flexible.

 

[overwatch1234567890]

Will it work on che1-L04

 

[keikari]

[mike13dash]

is it possible to make a custom rom for cherryplus that will utilize the storage being used by the system?!? like from 3.6 GB usable internal storage to 5-6 GB?!? I mean that would be a great help!

I think you could try to re-partitioning your device. Though it might be a bit risky if you are not sure what you are doing. It's safer to just use adopted storage or apps2sd to get more space and performance lost in that is unnoticeable in most cases (and I think it only affects to loadingtimes)

Agreed. There are only a few apps that load significantly slower if you link them with Apps2SD, and you can put those apps on /system partition. (For example "HereWeGo" navigation app takes very long time to load, like ~25 sec.)

 

[player615]

It have the same battery consomming like RROS?
I think you should compare with Che2-ul00 B580 last build, only 1~2% in 12hours at deepsleep.
