If you follow bugs in LP from the start you'd know these are minor
Recent bugs in LP were WiFi, Mic and Camera
these weren't working, and these were the major bugs, so now all of them are solved,
and we're left with these less important bugs
Regards,
Omar.
This rom is very fast and smooth, and battery life is better than cm12! keep it up! :good:
Hi Omar,
the ROM works fine, thank you (only the build-in SMS app crashes, now i use another app), but could you give me a link to a working TWRP?
I'm now on 2.8.4.1 but I can't mount or read File-System, the Recovery says: no OS installed and so on.
So I'm now very uncertain about the correct TWRP-Version.

You can use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/general/fota-twrp-recovery-amami-t2909719
or the one from MultiROM, both are working great.
Regards,
Omar.
thanks a lot, Omar,
now I've got an working recovery, but one more Question:
change Filesystem to f2fs is in this combination of ROM and Recovery not working?
I wanted to play around a little bit, so this is not important.
Karl
now I tried the TWRP from the Multirom-thread, there I've got the button for f2fs.
Do you know, how long the next boot after formatting cache with f2fs needs? I was waiting about 30 min with running boot-animation and nothing happened, so I made a reset, boot into recovery and go back to ext4, but device runs animation, nothing else.
thanks for an info

Option to display the battery as percentage would be nice! Can be added manually I know but would be nice to come with stock.

Made this my daily
Hope this also gets regularly updated
Awesome work! Quiet Stable For An Alpha Build Keep Up The Good Wok
anybody tried to record video with any third party camera?
SlimLP Alpha 0.91 [2015/02/02]
ChangeLog:
- Included video recording and playing fix
- Included youtube fix for playing 720p and above
- Included all latest Slim Changes (and CM device specific changes)
Download Link:
Slim-amami-5.0.2.alpha.0.91-UNOFFICIAL-20150202-1239.zip
In order to provide you frequent updates easily, I had to change download link to AFH,
though the source and build server is the same (so the build is the same ether ways).
Regards,
Omar.
Thank you Omar!
Updated without any problems!
switched from your RR Rom to SlimLP for my z1c, since i have SlimSaber from @fusionjack as a daily driver. seems all pretty alpha but very very familiar, stable and smooth. all works fine so far, video recording working fine, musicplayer was missing from the rom, RRO is integrated, layers working brilliant as on my bacon. using the same layers as on my bacon, same goes for viper4android working also great.
many many features are missing from what you already have ported from the RR roms, but i guess they will come cm12 amami nightlies are out there, so it would be nice, if you could port some old features like HW button remapping, quick settings tile reorienting, network indicator and percentage for the battery, kill app button (would be very important at first i guess) to the Slim rom. ask @fusionjack for the commits/code/features, i guess he would be pretty happy to share it makes it a bit easier to get along as fast as a single person can get
for the bacon, besides temasek as a cm12 using engine, i prefer slimLP for the RRO and layers. much better to get a style working.
thx for the amazing port of slimLP for the lil brother of my bacon, my amami <3. keep up the good work. good to see, that someone cares about the little things in life xD
best regards
Mike
Many thanks for this great work. I have only 2 questions. Hope you can help me.
1) Is it possible with this ROM to install apps on the external SD? In the past I had SlimROMS and was able to move apps to a SD card.
2) Is the camera working with this great ROM?
many thanks for the feedback
Rom works fine.
Thanks for that. Only one problem. When i go to recovery i always get the Red Triangle Dead Android.
Skipping this with the hard ressetbutton. Everithings fine. Just seem to lost my recovery.

dexter93, Tylog, SlimRoms

Version Information
Status: Stable

Some hints:
1. Be sure you are on latest CWM or TWRP recovery!!!!!!
2. Not all gapps packages right now are nice working. You can try others but at least I know that the one linked here is working. If you have other gapps which are working you can link it here of course
3. Full wipe when coming from any 4.3 or 4.4 rom (as well format system manually please)
Reporting Bugs
When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist.
The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.
1. Make a nandroid backup.
2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways depending on what kind of problem you're having.
3a. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.
3b. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.
4. Start a logcat recording and reproduce the bug (if possible more than once) while taking the logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat read this tutorial or this.
5. Post the logcat in a txt file (this is important because you otherwise clog up the threads with your log) in the correct thread.
Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).
@kufikugel The recovery linked in post #2 is for the Galaxy Nexus (maguro)

During bootup, error "Unfortunately, messaging has stopped". Not a big deal though, but if anyone feels like getting rid of that, it is the mms.apk that needs to be deleted.
Other than that, everything else seems fine.

yeah..same error here.and camera also no go..
but others is good..hope tiles customizations coming soon..its the most important features..!
for camera we just need to wait for the 4.4 binaries google will hopefully release soon. I think the effort to hack now around to get the old camera blobs working and then reverting in some days back to the new is not really usefull. So a bit wait on camera
Mms....lmao unbelievable that google still not solved it in the source....next build will have mms fixed Man everything we need to do on our own
hehe
cheers
new version is up guys
with mms fix
Fixes new version:
- added dalvik optimizations....so speed up step one
- reworked and adapted status bar clock and date customization to 4.4
- added some of our camera features (smart captchure, jpg quality, color filter, gps indicator)
- reworked the complete camera to the new google style. Google stoped it after they finished the photo camera interface lol. So all into new PIE style + some fixes + more consistent now
- added a bunch of Mms/SMS fixes
- activated on supported devices lockscreen transparency on nav and statusbar
- some stability fixes
- fixed some google 4.4 code derps
- a lot small stuff
have fun and cheers
PS. the camera features for tilapia of course you cannot use right now
Cool ROM! i like it, but i hope more performance optimization coming

I wonder if you would be so kind as to add something to your 2nd post? A step-by-step procedure to activate ART. This would be a work in progress I suppose, as more info comes in. At the moment there is no central place, just widely spread out posts in numerous threads.

I can report newest build works flawless so far. ART is working, breaks Superuser though. Use SuperSU instead. Had the same with an early build of Slimkat on my Nexus7, no idea how they fixed this.
Awesome work TJKV!
/Edit: It won't boot anymore Don't know, what I did that caused this. I got everything ready, rebooted to backup and that's it.
/Edit2: again :-/ I flashed again, got ART ready, flashed gapps, SuperSU and restored /data from the backup I took. Booted up just fine, with all apps but greenify (that one was missing, no idea why). Installed greenify, didn't do anything else of note. Doesn't boot anymore.
/Edit3: after 3 times battery pulled the phone finally booted!
/Edit4: restoring a backup of CM now, maybe I give it another go tomorrow.

z2 status bar not work
but The rom very smoth and great i will back with any new for bugs or any thing else
PA GAPPS works fine
Still works fine great work, thats what I am waiting for!
Google Kamera is working, but I prefer to use Camera FV-5, which don´t work... And the picture quality of Google Kam is not the best I have to say.. The red sensor light is on when phone is in stand by. If I reboot phone, all apps which are moved to internal sd are lost. And then I have no access to internal sd... I will test batery lifetime tomorrow. Hope my feedback helps
Edit: after waiting 5 minutes after reboot, my apps which are in internal storage are back. But I put them on home screen and those who are in internal storage are away after rebooting. Hope you understand my worse english...

I'm so happy!!!

Yes of course, this means you can download directly from SlimRoms website,
And you'll have a weekly as soon as Slim team release one (you don't have to wait for me to do it )
Also you should be able to update using OTA updates between releases.
Enjoy.

Omar.
Great
Wowo! I have a question, isn't Slimroms based on CyanogenMod or is it only ASOP?

Nope, it is almost based on AOSP, there are some minor parts fetched from CyanogenMod repos (but insignificant to say it is based on CM )
Maybe a question you hear alot,but hows the battery life?

When making phone calls through a Parrot MKI9200 bluetooth car system on this rom, the person in the other end says that my voice stutters and is not easy to understand.
It does not happen on "stock" roms.
Anybody having the same issues.
Other than that it Works great.

No problems here with BMW bluetooth calls, only thing is that I can not access messages from car, but this is since ever on Amami with SlimKat (Stock is working),
with SlimKat on old Galaxy S2 it was working too. (But that is nothing important would be just nice to have )

Go to the link in OP and enter Weekly and amami folder will be the very last one,
Also if you go to Official dir instead, you'l find an empty folder called amami it will be filled with big releases (8, 9, 10....)

I've paused this project, since the DU team has not published a official Nougat release (v11.0) yet.
Please be patient and wait for a release.
Thanks!
Dirty Unicorns v11.0 (Nougat) (unofficial)
for Nexus 7 (2013)
About Dirty Unicorns:
Dirty Unicorns is a project that started out with no name. It was a project that was first based off AOKP back in the early days of Jelly Bean. In the early days it was just a one man show on one device, the EVO 3D. Since then, many others have joined the project and it has grown exponentially.
We have seen a lot of talent contribute to this project of ours. Big or small, the focus was always on contributing to the community. That is ultimately why we do what we do. After Jelly Bean, we decided to move to a new base, OmniROM. While AOKP was fun, OmniROM proved to be even more exciting base because it challenged us to see what we could do with a project that had different goals in mind. We learned a lot and again, gain contributors. With Lollipop, we moved to an AOSP base with a lot of patches from CAF to make our older devices function as they should. We grew even more and learned a whole lot more.
It has been an awesome learning experience and is still not over! We are still learning every day and continue to move forward. Lastly, we DO NOT accept, nor ask, for donations. We don't believe in that. Everything that is necessary to keep this project going is out of our own pocket. Gerrit, Jenkins, Websites, Devices, etc. We will never ask for a dime. All we do ask, is that you have patience, search, read and try to enjoy the process with us!!

Thanks, will give this a runout later (as soon as I can get it...afh is playing up a bit ATM)...
Cheers.
Been running these builds since they first appeared on AFH. Running the 9/19 build and I must say they are the smoothest nougat builds thus far. Awesome work! Thanks.
Afh is under maintenance for a while . Gonna try again later, can't wait to try it out. Thank you for sharing this ROM with us !
Edit: I can't see any files on afh . has it been removed?
Seems to be so. I am going to re upload the file when i am at home.
Edit: The ROM is now available for download. Happy flashing
Flashed this , seems to be working really well. Titanium works fine, got all my apps moved over, etc. It's super speedy especially once the thing settles down, battery life, I'm not sure about yet, but so far, so good!
*Updated*
Can't seem to get Landscape to work, it's set to auto, the only options are auto/portrait, landscape isn't even an option at this point in the settings... hmmm
Just finished flashing. Works great but the sensors do not work , please fix them. And it's the first 7.0 ROM that has inbuilt advanced reboot options ! All it needs is the circle battery icon, bit that will come with time Thank you once again !
Edit: I've attached a screenshot from a Sensor App.
do you know if this will work on Deb (with no mobile data)
and what GApps are folks using? Open Mini?
Micro gapps flashed fine.
Auto rotate and brightness slider are busted here too.
Brightness slider works if you disable adaptive brightness.
Does it work also with the LTE version ?

No, however you can try the one on afh for deb. That works well too until op decides to make one for Deb too.
New build is up!
The sensors should now work.

Hi ! Would you consider a deb build too?
Short summary until now:
Works great, but the following flaws are still unfixed (and yes, I know that it is still in beta):
-> Alarm clock can only be set to ring tones
-> Tweaks nearly completely empty
-> Battery Icon can not be exchanged
Else great work!
I've also uploaded a build for deb now. Happy flashing!

That's because not all features got ported from Marshmallow to Nougat yet. The DU Developers just need some time.
@Mazda did you approve this release? Beacause du nougat isn't released yet. @reyscott Can you close this thread as this release has no permission.

Doesn't work that way, Alex has stated that he wants no one to build publicly yet multiple times on his g+ account.
No idea why people can't wait for officials, then unofficals are no problem.
