SlimRom is a custom android operating system. The main goal is to offer users a slimmed down but still feature rich alternative to other android operating systems.
The entire SlimTeam work together to bring you this tailor-made beauty straight from Android Open Source Project (AOSP) source code.
All of the sources can be publicly viewed through GitHub and Gerrit.

SlimLP is currently in alpha stage, some settings are already in place, much is still missing and would come with time. Stay tuned!

Hello.
This supposed to be only test builds for my usage. I shared links (without separate thread), but some users PMed me to create that thread.
Do not expect frequent updates, i even didn't test those builds thoroughly (against my own rules;)).
But maybe someone will find this ROM(s) useful and nice.

I love SlimRoms. They do an outstanding job at keeping everything minimal, with a very low memory footprint. Glad it was compiled, I was actually just thinking about starting a thread for Slim. I'm going to test your build out at some point, just to see how it runs on this device

I almost forgot about that build:)
It has last ultima kernel version (so problems with overheating may occur). Without any of optimizations, just the first build... I tested it for a very short time. It's a good base for further work for sure

Edit: i love slim ROMs since 4.2.2 versions

I got to play with this ROM for a little while earlier on my D415. It ran great, and aside from the typical bugs, the only thing I noticed, was that I couldn't access a recents menu. I think I might just have to compile SlimRoms, since you will be mainly focused on RR, and won't be able to provide frequent updates. The L90 could really make use of the minimalistic approach

Hmm interesting, not even long-pressing the home button worked? I suppose you can remap the menu button to recent to solve the issue

I think it's connected to the fact that i disabled some overlays (hardware keys) due compilation errors. There supposed to be submenu to enable recents i think

Man, I'm currently building SlimLP for w7. I really didn't see your thread about this ROM. Should I make another thread or post it here? Because I think I'll update it often...
Feel free to open your own thread:)

I see no problem in having two independent threads for the same ROM.
There is much space for making it very different...

However, disclaimer time (to all):
Do not expect that I'll answer any development-wise questions or help in any other way. If your PM stays unanswered for 2-3 days, I'll not answer it at all (probably). Why? Doesn't matter, thank some other devs, they know how helpful they are (at least some of them)

stuck on PIN window

Hi, just came here by to test a ROM and got some weird glitch with no "OK" button on PIN verification window. I could enter PIN code, could delete it, could enter emergency mode, but there's no "OK" button to pass it :)
Before installing SlimRom i did all possible format/wipe in CWM (came from CarbonRom).

New build, new place ;)

https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=32652

I'll make better changelog later...

BUILD 2 [2015-05-31]
* Slim sources update [up to 2015-05-31]
- ROM version upgraded -> Alpha 0.3
- Fixed Slim Recents on Home button longpress
- Navigation bar submenu restored
- Hardware buttons menu restored
- SlimPie Added
- Ambient Display / doze implemented
* Device Source update [up to 2015-05-31]
* Ultima Kernel replaced with KernelSanders (bit laggy on my settings)
* Compiled with default Toolchain (kernel) and Sabermod TC 4.8 (ROM)

TO DO:
- change toolchain to something higher than 4.8.3
- upgrade kernel base to 3.4.107
- add some functionalities to kernel.

I don't want to make second ultima kernel from KernelSanders, so i plan adding only minor updates. And some fixes, when we find something out;).
