So I love SlimRom, and all I really wanted to do was build it to go faster. Weeklies from Slim come out on Sundays, and I'll be realising my weeklies a few days later. I want to test stability before I give it to you. Anyways, I'm not responsible for what you do to your phone :angel: , and do a nandroid backup, because if you don't, you're stupid.

I'm guessing you know how to flash.

For F2FS you must use Chet's 2.8.1 TWRP recoveryTWRP 2.8.0.1

8.4 w/ Custom Toolchain, -o3 = Dev-Host
XDA

Thanks to Chet, Emmanuel, and the SlimRom team.

Future plans: build my own kernel, remove some apps, add some apps, clone to github

Here's a toolchain I built, based off Linaro 8.14 -o3, but I updated all the libraries to the newest ones:
GMP
Cloog
isl
mpc
mpfr
pkg-config
zlib

Dev-Host Toolchain
XDA-Toolchain

Quick question about this, since you credited Chet in the OP...

To my understanding, LiquidSmooth is a Slim-based ROM, right? And Chet is currently working on Liquid (using a customized UBER kernel)

Can you outline the main differences between your customized SlimKat and Chet's Liquid builds?

I am currently running and older build of Carbon with Wild v.7, but I am considering trying out both your ROM and Chet's LiquidSmooth. Appreciate your help. :)

P.S. - Back in weekly 7.4, I tried installing Wild v.9 but it caused random freezes. Would you happen to know what changes in that kernel caused it? Also, will your own custom kernel be based on Wild?

4.4.4, custom toolchain with o3 and built with o3 and ofast, plus all toolchain libraries are newest versions, and I forgo the extra stuff in interest of size as d simplicity. I built 7.4 with v8 wicked because it was more stable, also the governor that was most stable was intellidemand. I can't vouch for the others. And yes it will be built based on wild, but it'll a little less aggressive. I credit Chet with showing me ways to incorporate ideas into roms. He's super helpful

May I port this rom to my quincyatt (that's if you're not part of SlimTeam)? Of course proper credit and links will be given of course...

Hello all, I'm getting a message that root cannot be found on this rom, however, I see it has superuser? Does anyone else has this issue?

Edit: Nevermind I fixed it. Anyone else having trouble getting Wild Kernel to work?

Hi how did you fix the root issue as I'm also facing the same

First go to System settings, and click on Advanced options (it's at the bottom). Next click on Superuser, and go to its settings by either clicking on the settings button on the device or by clicking the 3 dots on the top right. After that click on "Superuser Access" and change it to "Apps Only". Next click on where it says "Automatic Response" and change it to "Prompt". You should be good to go. Also just FYI if you want to use a Wild Kernel with this rom it must be version 10, and below because ver. 11 freezes..

Is your SD card dead? I would try using a different one. The only issues I had with wild kernel so far is that the newest ver 11 would not let the rom boot and some of the overclock frequencies freeze the device. I running version 10 and its working very nice lol. Been on for like 2 hours with no freezing or nothing lol.

Edit Build 3 boots.
