It would be nice to get included Slimroms "SlimRecents".

Google's broken software developers are doing very poor job.

@s3xxt0y

As per you request rom is up :fingers-crossed:

 

[IMissMSN]

Doesn't work for me; I get stuck in a boot loop after flashing the zip.


EDIT: Alright, after a bit of trial and error with options in Aroma I've got it to boot properly.

You need SuperSU root (the Magisk one is the one that put me in a boot loop), and do not install BootLoader or install will hang

Hello everyone.

First, thank you for your work to yash92duster.

When I see this ROM and the LightROM, I see that they are very similar.

I understand that this ROM takes to install the Google applications, apart from everything in the LightROM.

Any more difference?

A greeting.

 

[0pritt0]

The BL is the ARC5, however the CP is the ARC4, is this normal?

The new ARCC could be used.

A greeting.

 

[rsktkr1]

Would this work on SM-G965N (Korean Version) with Exynos processor?
