This ROM is built for Vodafone 858/Huawei U8160 - It may work on other phones, I don't care.
ROOT + RECOVERY INSTALL HELP HERE...(my own method)
After I relese Omicrom v1.1, if after 24'hours I don't get 100 downloads in total, I pass this project to anyone else who has time developping. I am working for a cause and I need money donated...
The idea of the ROM is very simple:
Let's say you get bored of stock and root you phone and download a 100 mb JellyBean ROM, but you find it useless and download another 100 mb ICS ROM. You get bored of it and download, let's say MiUI. And so on. A lot of wasted time. I decided to make a package of ROMs so, in case you get bored of one, you simply reboot in recovery and flash the other one. But,my package isn't like downloading two .zips and putting them on SDcard, it's more than that. I took the best ROMs out there, tweaked them for more performance and added some options to flash along the ROMs (for the first release just launchers, more to come)
First off, I want to thanks the people/developers who made this possible:
-Brokn.Down for his CM7 base and for helping me out with the updater-script;
-ylynka, my friend, for testing the ROM as I don't have the phone avalaible;
-ReloadedICS for an awesome app;
-xda for hosting the thread;
What you get with the package:
-ultimate CM7 (JellyBean like);
-lite and lightning fast CM9;
-AROMA Installer (not many options though in the first release);
-Reloaded app for CM9 only (is still under testing, so please report any bug caused by this).
What is AROMA?
Find out more here.
AROMA may or may not work with our devices' touchscreen. Do not panic. Use the volume keys to navigate and the power button to select.
Why trusting my ROM?
It's hard for me, as its developer, to tell you because I can only say good things. Take 10 minutes of your life to test it and tell me why you trust it!
CM7 features:
~Hightly optimized rom for play games and multitask
~Beats Audio™ By Dr. Dre (ported from HTC One X+)
~Holo Launcher Optimized
~99% LDPI resized
~Opera Mini included for fast web browsing
~QuickPic instead of stock cm7 gallery
~Notes, Stopwatch, and other essential apps included
~U8160/80 device parts settings modded
CM7 not working:
-GPU (as the device has integrated GPU in CPU) - shouldn't be a problem
CM9 features:
2D acceleration (using copybit)
Audio
Bluetooth
Bluetooth tethering (?)
Camera - preview, picture taking, barcode scanner mode
GPS
Lights
Sensors
Telephony - calling, messaging, mobiledata
Touchscreen (multitouch)
USB Mass Storage
USB tethering
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi Hotspot
Swap
zRam (i.e. compcache)
CM9 not working:
Camcorder mode
OMX encoders/decoders (e.g. Youtube HQ video playback)
Bluetooth - when enabled, Bluetooth will cause the phone to constantly hold
a wake lock, preventing the phone from sleeping. Turn off Bluetooth when you don't need it.
FM Radio - no CM9 radio app yet exists, but libaudio has support included. This means that some third-party apps (e.g. Spirit FM) can work.
Gallery - after installing Google Apps, you will have two different Gallery apps installed. We need to use the legacy Gallery app, because the newer Gallery2 (and Google's version, GoogleGallery) requires OpenGL extensions that our phone cannot support. You are free to delete one of the duplicate applications from /system/app using CMFileManager (in root mode).
Trebuchet - after first installation, the default background wallpaper may be misaligned, leaving some black banding at the sides. This only occurs on first start, and the problem will correct itself on the next reboot / relaunch of Trebuchet.
USB tethering - the phone will freeze if you remove the cable during tethering. Make sure to disable tethering via the menu option manually when you want to remove the phone from the computer.
Aroma Options:
For CM7 - launchers only (more to come)
For CM9 - launchers, mini gapps and ReloadedICS (if you do not want to participate in telling me if app works or not and want a stable system, don't flash this while it is beta)
Downloads: v1 - http://d-h.st/mzq
v1.1 - http://d-h.st/TIt
Mount /system before installing anything!
After you install CM9 it may not boot for some reasons. Try flashing this fix, then reboot. If it still does not work, flash this fix and reboot.
Upcoming:
None.

Changelog:

App packages: None yet!

Known bugs for package:
The system chooser displays no text. (unknown fix)
Can't make ICS boot from AROMA. (flash ICS fix)

Ok, I get it. The bootloop is caused by aroma which does not support the command to retouch the binaries. So I created the first fix with this command and the second fix to reset te build.prop, but as I can see it does not work. My friend told me that he booted ICS from aroma so I will ask him how he did it.
Anyway, tomorrow, 24th March, I will release a new version, with more options than release 1. So, just use CM7 till then. I will try to fix the bug!
Thanks for the feedback!

I haven't got ICS yet, and I haven't got any more ideas what to put inside AROMA..if you give me ideas, I will mare a 1.3 version. Moreover, if anyone could fix ICS, I'd be grateful.
I am starting this thread so all issues related to SlimKat Rom can be documented in one single place. Please post your Questions & Answers in here instead of in the SlimKat Rom Thread, lets try and keep that thread clean.
SlimKat ROM Thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2511512
All Credit goes to the developers, Please support them for continued development
I will try my best to keep the thread updated and have questions and solutions posted in the first three posts of this Thread:
How to Install SlimKat ROM
Assuming you have already rooted, unlocked boot loader and installed custom recovery. If not there are multitude guides to do so, search in the forum.
Step 1:
Download the following:
Current SlimKat ROM: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/979-hammerhead
Note SlimKat Rom is in beta currently
Current SlimGapps: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/978-addons4-4/downloads/dlsearch
Note Slim Gapps are also in Beta, You can choose to download the full Slimgapps or the minimalgapps thats your choice. You can also download the photosphere addon.
Current SuperSu: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Step 2:
Place the downloaded file onto your nexus 5 using the provided cable, alternatively you can also download the files directly onto your phone using the browser.
Reboot into Recovery
Wipe data/factory reset (required)
Wipe Cache Partition (required)
I also always do the following (optional)
In mounts/ Storage
Format /system (optional)
Format /data (optional)
Format/cache (optional)
These are not necessary but I have made it a habit to do so.
Once you have performed the required resets, select Flash Zip file and flash in the following sequence
Flash SlimKat Rom
Flash SlimGapps
Flash SlimPhotoSphere (optional) Note: Does cause audio lag in recorded video with some kernels also videos are darker after photosphere flash. See Q&A section
Flash Kernel ( optional: only if you want to use a custom kernel)
Flash SuperSu ( I prefer SuperSu, SuperUser does not work properly for Me)
Reboot
Now your good to go and setup your phone.
Step 3: (optional)
~ Note for ART I follow this procedure:
After Flashing, once the phone starts I skip through the setup screen
Go to Settings-> About-> tap on build 7 times to enable developer options
Go to Settings-> Developer Options -> Select Runtime --> Art
Reboot and let it finish what its doing takes 10-15 mins.
Once done setup your phone how you like.
Reserved : Guide To SlimKat Features
Features And Guide
Once I have time I will break down all the slim settings and what they do
Features Not Included
PIE - Can be installed using Xposed Framework
HALO - Can be installed using Xposed Framework
NOTE: Xposed Framework does not play nice with ART, You will need to stick with Dalvik to use Xposed.
Feature Request
I will update this as users request features but please dont request features that can be added via addons such as xposed. There is no point adding those features to the ROM, those who want them can always install via Xposed

Questions and Answers
Frequently Asked Question
http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq
These Are for SlimKat 4.4.2 beta 1.95 + Slim_AIO_gapps_4.4.2 beta1.x
These will be updated/removed as SlimKat updates
DPI/ Screen Issues
[Q] What are the default DPI's
Stock Kitkat = 480
Stock SlimKat = 361
Lowest DPI working for me = 370
[Q] Water in the Google Maps app is distorted, streaked or all over the place when zoomed out
Its a DPI issue, this is how i resolved it:
Download: Rom Toolbox lite ( Free) from PlayStore
Run app -> Swipe left to switch tab to performance --> click build.prop Editor button
on this new screen-> swipe right to bring out menu on the left side of the screen
First option is LCD density Click that-->change Value to whatever you want --> click ok and reboot
once Rebooted do the following :
Settings-> Apps-> Maps-->clear data, also clear Cache--> Force Close
Open Maps and confirm everything is working.
Some users have been able to get the maps to work properly at 361 DPI, but the lowest value at which it will work for me is 370. Default Stock Kitkat DPI is 480. Default Stock SlimKat DPI is 361
[Q] Everything is too small on default SlimKat, how can i fix that
two solutions:
go into settings-->display-->font-->change font size to make it bigger
change DPI:
Download: Rom Toolbox lite ( Free) from PlayStore
Run app -> Swipe left to switch tab to performance --> click build.prop Editor button
on this new screen-> swipe right to bring out menu on the left side of the screen
First option is LCD density Click that-->change Value to whatever you want --> click ok and reboot
Default Stock Kitkat DPI is 480, stock SlimKat DPI is 361, 400 ~ 420 DPI works best for me
Recovery
[Q] TWRP asking for a password, even though user never setup a password
When TWRP asks for a password, hit cancel.
Then go to Wipe and Factory Reset.
If that doesn't work, then restart your recovery.
If that still doesn't work then try reflashing TWRP again.
Camera
[Q] What is True View in the Camera App
True view is a camera feature to show the whole field of view of the camera.
By default the field of view is stretched and cut on the sides to fit fullscreen.
http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/323-what-is-true-view
[Q] Why is the Camer app Missing HDR+
HDR+ and Photosphere are closed-source. AKA no way to be built from source and must be distributed as an add-on.
Flash photosphere camera if you want HDR+.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832042&postcount=27
Note: PhotoSphere Addon currently adds a audio lag in recorded videos and recorded Videos are much darker, Read Q&A below about audio lag when photosphere is installed, link for photosphere is in the first post ( Slim gapps/addons)
[Q] Audio Lag in recorded video after Installing Slim PhotoSphere
Flash a different kernel, that will fix the issue
confirmed fixed with trinity.
in Recovery, without wiping:
Flash ROM
Flash Gapps
Flash PhotoSphere
Flash Kernel of choice
Flash SuperSu
Reboot
NOTE: Videos are much darker when Photosphere addon has been installed
Misc
[Q] How do I access the chamber of secrets on SlimKat
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48830608&postcount=25
[Q] Where are the QuickRecord recordings stored, are they cleared at boot and are they overwritten
/data/data/com.android.systemui/files/
It's never cleared from a reboot, but yes, rewritten each time you record.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48832011&postcount=2577
[Q] Where is the clear all in the recent apps list
Clear all is not there as it is not needed, the list just shows the recently ran apps and provides the means of switching between apps quickly. Android will kill apps when needed there is no need to kill apps
[Q] I have no Mobile Network ( not data but no coverage at all)
This applies to only those who have no mobile network i.e they do not have a signal at all on their device and it does not say no service.
You somehow wiped the radio firmware, That needs to be restored.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2514095
[Q] What is ART and what does it do
If you really need to know what ART is then you should not be using ART.
ART stands for Android Run Time, it is an experimental run time which is being developed by google to replace the current dalvik run time. Once released users would be able to get better performance and better battery life.
Currently, as ART is in experimental stage ( I would say Alpha, not even beta) the benefits of switching to ART are minimal. Not all apps are compatible with ART and most users will not see any performance or battery life improvements.
Thats why google buried it deep into the settings. Use at your own discretion. I suggest staying with Dalvik run time till further progress has been made on ART.

I'm not sure how to get that, I think you have to connect the device to the computer and use something in the SDK to be able to record screen, I could be wrong. Try searching for it. If I find a solution I'll let you know.

I am not sure if and when PIE is implemented if it would include LMT with it therefore i left it out. I believe the xposed framework PIE does have LMT support.
Hope there are enough people here to help me out. I've been using Slim ROMs for a couple years on G-Nex and now Nexus 5. On the last couple releases I've been having issues with Google Maps not getting a GPS fix, or when it does get a fix it's off by nearly a mile. GPS Data, Waze, Gas Buddy, etc. all work fine. After spending nearly a day re-flashing the ROM, app, clearing data, etc., I finally tried another ROM (Purity) and discovered that Google Maps gets a fix in less than 10 seconds and is within 20' accuracy. I used the latest Slim Gapps on Slim 1.95 and the CM Gapps on the Purity ROM. Has anyone had similar problems?

I just reflashed slimkat on my phone, took less then 5 seconds for it to get a GPS lock. Check the following:
Settings-> locations -> mode
Make sure high accuracy is selected
Also are you using a custom kernel ?
Flash sequence for ROMs is
Slimkat ROM
Slimgapps
Kernel ( if using custom kernel)
Supersu ( supersu always comes last)
Reboot.

Anyone have any issues with the stock Slim Explorer app. I've never really used it before as I've always been an ES Explorer user but want to switch having the auto toggle TRDS modes. The app loads up but as soon as I scroll the screen the app closes and I get a "Slim Explorer has stopped" message. I've seen it in the past a handful of times I went to change DPI with it before installing ES. I did a complete clean install(ie. manually wiped everything and re-downloaded and re-setup all my apps instead of restoring them with Titanium), sha matches, so I can't think of anything else that could be the issue. Maybe it doesn't agree with Super SU???
Yep, did all that except for the SuperSU bit. I did use SuperSU on the Purity install though but haven't had any problems with the built in Superuser before. I'll nandroid back to the Slim ROM to give it a try. It was with the stock kernel.

I did a complete clean install(ie. manually wiped everything and re-downloaded and re-setup all my apps instead of restoring them with Titanium), sha matches, so I can't think of anything else that could be the issue. Maybe it doesn't agree with Super SU???

U mean simple explorer ?
Its working for me.
It could be super user, I've had issues with it
First post on this forum has link to supersu, download zip file flash in recovery. C if that solves the issue

Yep, did all that except for the SuperSU bit. I did use SuperSU on the Purity install though but haven't had any problems with the built in Superuser before. I'll nandroid back to the Slim ROM to give it a try. It was with the stock kernel.

I've had issues with super user so always use supersu, but maps has nothing to do with either.
Did u check the settings?
Also sometimes you have to be outside to get a GPS lock,
Also try this:
Settings -> apps-> maps.
Clear data clear cache force close.
Reboot
Go outside and open maps c if that fixes it

OK, but it will be a while - when I went into recovery (TWRP) it asked for a password (which I haven't set) then failed to backup the existing ROM.

I have Super SU installed and working already seeing as I use Faux kernel as well as I've always had issues(even on a SlimBean port on Evo LTE)with Superuser unmounting the system as RW. It's weird. It only happens when I scroll from within the emulated/legacy/0 storage. I can scroll within the device partition and change settings just fine.
Do you use ART??? Only other thing I can think of.

Rom Feedback
Hey this new Rom has real good animations and stuff and i really liked the material theme and the sounds. But just some issues i found, removing which this Rom would be one of the best roms.:good:
I saw that the camera issue is fixed but now it shows two camera's and gallery's which doesnt look appropriate, I dont know the reason for it.
Secondly an R icon is always showing on my network bars which shows that i am in roaming but i am not! and it doesnt allow me to start the internet till i check the allow internet on roaming. This is certainly a big issue .
The browser icon is changed to google chrome which makes it very confusing coz i have both installed.
And the last not such big issue but still i cant access voice unlock in the settings. it says settings stopped after i press on it.:cyclops:
thank you
regards,
Abhishek

Hi there, I don't think your file is correct because nothing happens after flash. I am sure I've d/l the full file correctly.
i have flashed the file over cm11 armv6 and its working did you wipe?

Yes, I do wipe and make a clean flash from scratch. My phone is HTC one X with CM11 ROM.
but i say no need for wipe
open your app drawer if you found the mentioned apps that means installed successfuly

Sorry, maybe I didn't make it clear. what I was doing is fully wipe and flash CM11 ROM for HTC one X from scratch, and afte rall my google apps abd data is download back to normal from server, and then I flash your mod WITHOUT WIPE. But I don't see any app or other mod inside the system after reboot. I check it with root explorer. So I think I do follow your step, right ? Do you ever try to clean-wipe flash from scratch and then flash your mod ?
i checked it again and it works without aby problems on a clean install

Check if you had system partition mounted when you were installing the package, if there weren't any files installed thetn this might be the problem.
@shiftyHungary did it work for you
Good Luck !!
can any one confirm that it works
Wowza...just beathed alot of extra life into my ZTE Awe. Lolipop launcher and quickboot dont work on my device, but i can live without them. Well done
Quick boot mod only works on official cm11 builds and some other builds like armv6 build but the quick but apk works on any android device
The app just force closes whenever I try to open it. We at the Awe forums on androidforums are running an unofficial build, so it makes sense to me the mod wouldnt work but the app is not as well. Again, I can do without. Everything else, minus the launcher, appears to be working.
Though I can't find any difference when running the "boost" command. What is it supposed to do exactly?
its apically for games
Well again I didn't notice much of a difference with or without running it. Real Racing 3, GTA San Andreas and Modern Combat 4/5 run significantly better than before the mod. I was able to even record some decent game plays on each with Rec Screen Recorder with only about a 10fps drop and minor lag, something I struggled to do initially. All in all, I'll confirm this works and have already spread the word to my fellow Awe users.
Many thanks for your hard work

All aroma versions can be started with TWRP or similar. Only install proper system files if needed. Wipe not needed.
It´s made to install usefull apps like xposed or for recover system. It is not to get root or TWRP.
Just flash via twrp and choose needed app. If your system is working skip system files!!!
To install xposed first flash
android 7 sdk 24 // http://dl-xda.xposed.info/framework/sdk24/arm64/xposed-v89-sdk24-arm64.zip or magisk sdk !!
android 6 sdk 23
Some useful apps inside aroma rom:
some xposed modul of my aroma file:
MTP as Default USB Connection
Led-control but better -->
Led blinker works well for me. To use power led as notification light (red/green) but only if blinker app is not activ
More xposed modul i use: AppsOps Re, CameraNotify, BootManager, CleanLockscreen, Marshmallow SD fix and the prevent running modul is powersafer
LightningWall I use as main wall. Af+ to switch between custom online permisson
Af+wall you can find premium versions of both walls #maybe not working 100% if both are in use
Roaming on national network? It can be fixed with https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/app-roaming-control-v1-0-t3267154 v19 fixed roaming issue no need modul at the moment.
None xposed related apps: >>>>
2 bootanimation (black or white google) .. links to another working boot file 1080p - landscape from https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/bootanimation-android-marshmallow-t3180984

VLCforAndroid_v2.xx
MediaConverter_v0.9.3

A video of my aroma installer rom on API23 (Android 6.0)
https://youtu.be/zqyDmiqTdhc
Additional i like to suggest more apps to install yourself to your phones.
1. I use Whatscall, Dington, TalkU to make "free" phone call. You pay by watch ads. Whatscall is good to get fast free credits. TalkU and Dington are pretty similar. Autor is "our" phone manufactur Cheetah.
Benefit you can make real phone-call via wifi, safe expensive calls, etc.
If you have no playstore running you get less ads = less credits!
I use them since one year no problems. Me tested other "free" call/sms apps but did not find better once. Please no referal request!
2. shake2safety
Now i use it to enable emergency call by quickly press 4 times Power button. It can be enabled by shake also. That is a feature of new IOS as well as Samsung Galaxy. The benefit is you can automatic call even is screen is broken, eye or finger issue, else.
You can test your setup by automatic call friends number to prevent by mistake calling emergency
Only sms is working if not installed via playstore :/
** For location please keep your GPS on. When there is no Wi-Fi, GPS or mobile data then no location goes with the message/picture. Also it gives your last location if GPS is off.

So go and install that app!!! Alternative maybe SOS Stay Safe
Still no reply :/
However maybe not worse to have a 3 post contiguous (last -if no reply), to add details or infos.
You can replace shutaudio.mp3 at root floder system/media/
with attched silent once it increase free space in rom a littel. Play time is shorten so shutdown seems to be littel faster too.
Archiv contain a silent camera.ogg to replace them just rename the once you like to replace.
camera sound at system/media/audio/ui/
Here is a big silent system sound pack:

Not replace bootaudio.mp3 in v19. The mp3 worked on v14 but not with v19!!!
All my tests on replacement of bootaudio.mp3 in v19 end by bootloop. ( Guess same md5 hash is needed to replace! )
So if you can´t boot anymore run aroma installer and select install system media fix that.
1. edit:
Someone replaced gallery with old v02 version to get video preview back?
Not sure since when it is gone i believe since v14. or less?!
2. edit:
After a while i realize turbo download mode is not available in v19.
Turbo mode enables data transfer via wifi & cellular network at same time.
Can you please tell me how long first boot is meant to take please

If you just re-install less data e.g. boot / shot audio it´s fast as normal. If you are going to install all additional apps it maybe take some minutes. In case you do no install from slow external memory.
On Anroid 6 you can not reboot directly, hold power about 10-15 sec. till system (screen) full turn off and device reboots. Better choose power off device in twrp after finish aroma installation. :fingers-crossed:

This most likely happens if you:
- install exposed modul without flashing exposed sdk first.
- flashing sytemfiles ( increase by wronge firmware - aroma version)
- on android 6*: - if you reboot direct after installation ## or twrp screen off timer is set & reached * That is a bug of all our 6.0 twrp not a bug of rom
You can fix by:
- flash exposed sdk
- restore a twrp backup (guess you didn´t backup)
- flash proper systemfiles (check firmware i provide for most of them an aroma to restore system)
- flashing full stock rom via MTK tool = 100% fix
I found this topic today and will try it when I have time! For now, I've only changed the irritating boot sound!

I replaced the bootaudio.mp3 with yours shutaudio.mp3 and the system is booting normally (firmware v19)!
Ok idk why i always failed so maybe other user now also try. May i going to retry
Once again, only flash system app if you have no chance to recover.
Example:
I messed with contact app which may cann´t be recovered with aroma so contact crash by doing wrong. However it still works so i do not flash to repair that little bug.
Keep in mind xposed is tricky and maybe kind of risky to set, so make fresh trwp dump befor going to use "first time".
Hope u have fun with some additional apps.
