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'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.

i have flashed the file over cm11 armv6 and its working did you wipe?

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
So basically what I have done is I simply flashed open gapps pico package around 40mb in size from TWRP on stock rom 5.1 of Moto g3.
The results are as you can guess all the google apps that came preinstalled in the device were removed now you can see only core apps needed for playstore functionality. It removed Google app and Google now launcher too so before flashing you should install any third party launcher and integrate it in system too(optional).
It improved performance and battery life a bit and let me get rid of unwanted Google apps and the needed apps I have downloaded them from playstore.
So try it take a backup before hand if you wanna revert back(why will you do that.)
Installation
The Google Applications packages should be installed via recovery. Exact steps vary, but the general process is the same as that used to install CyanogenMod, or any other flashable zip.

READ EVERYTHING HERE BEFORE FLASHING:
-Updating to TWRP 3.1.1-0 is recommended
-Use BeansGapps Mini https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=171927
-Not prerooted. SuperSU stable or Magisk stable recommended
-No camera included. Google Camera 2.5.052 recommended http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/camera/camera-2-5-052-release/
-As of the 4/23 release the ro.opa.eligible_device=true is no longer in the system/build.prop. This will cause the Google App to use Google Now interface instead of Google Assistant. If you want to use Google Assistant use the Get Assistant - Root app on the PlayStore (choose NEW method when prompted) OR if you use Magisk theres a Google Assistant Enabler module for this.
-Want a Pixel Launcher that allows swipe up to App Drawer in landscape? Sideload the Android O Pixel Launcher from apkmirror.com http://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google...ixel-launcher-o-3952143-android-apk-download/
-Netflix casts fine but throws an Error on playback. Sideload Netflix 4.8.5 from apkmirror.com OR use the zipaligned Netflix4.8.5-signed.apk in the ROM Download folder https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=529152257862715472 . The zipaligned apk will never show up as needing an update on PlayStore.

Hi is it compatible with f2fs format?
Hmm, looks interesting... lets give this one a go, shall we?
lollyjay said:
Hi is it compatible with f2fs format?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Kernels support f2fs, firstly, not ROMs. The stock AOSP kernel with this ROM doesn't support f2fs. But if you find a custom kernel that supports f2fs you can use it and format your data and cache partitions to f2fs on any ROM. Secondly, f2fs is only faster on writes, so only data and cache partitions benefit from that file system. ROM support for f2fs (as had been popular a couple years ago) would only be to allow system partition to also support f2fs, which this ROM doesn't have. That type of support is pretty much a thing of the past because it's a pain in the ass to do since ROM zips started using block storage convention and there's no speed advantage to having system be f2fs anyway. Make sense?
I don't wanna hear about all the common f2fs issues that have nothing to do with the ROM if you do try it. These include:. Couldn't flash ROM/GAPPS because it says system partition too small, couldn't make or restore a nandroid, lost all my data because I didn't offload it first, lost all my data when my data partition got corrupted, wrong internal storage size reported, can't take photo/screenshot write to internal storage.
If you're smarter than the average problem solver and have a PC, an OTG, and enjoy offloading and moving stuff back, then the modest (if not just placebo) speed gain of going f2fs may be worth the risk of wasted time and lost data. If you're the user that uses a toolkit instead of a terminal, then I'd let that sleeping dog lie.
Your point(s) well taken. Personally I have found little to gain from f2fs., except for my old TF300T
This rom is superb!!! It contains just about everything I had ever dreamt of seeing on the lovely, old Nexus 7, from Nougat in full flow to Google assistant and Night Light. I can even watch some previously impossible TV by
using the 'hide' function in the new version 11.6 of Magisk along with Magisk Manager from the Playstore. Many thanks to the Dev for giving my Nexus 7 a new lease of life. This is super work.
this rom is great
but one problem i think.
if its possible, in next build remove some apk from system, like chrome, calendar, calculator, gboard, google fotos
please
its to free some system space

The ROM is in sync with @BeansTown106 source with the exception of my removing Google Camera 4.x from the Gapps because it's incompatible with Flo. Removing gboard would leave you with no keyboard, see the changelog in the OP.
Are you bumping up against a full system when attempting to flash more mods?
You're welcome to remove whatever system apps you want (before or after booting) if you need more system partition space. That said, the only apps I'd consider removing from built in Gapps, if they are still in source on the next go around, would be Hangouts, Chrome, and Photos.
@buffal0b1ll
Maybe there is a meaning remove gapps from rom...
That there were no questions on this topic)

Hi Everyone,
Okay, Let's come to the point.
We all flash Roms on frequent basis. After we flash any Rom, we flash Gapps, our favorite Kernel, Magisk (to root) and Favorite fonts, bootanimations, ringtones, apps like Launchers, File Managers, etc and many times we delete the bloatware when we never use them.
Having to flash all these files, we end up maintaining several zip files in several directories of our phone. Many times we get confused with the order of execution and end up messing things.
This starts to become a headache when you have to look for each file and follow a proper order. Especially when you're a flashaholic like me.
Here, with the help of my tool and Aroma Installer. I present you my After Flash zip which I use to flash everything from a single zip after I flash a rom.
Be it Kernel or Magisk, fonts or bootanimations, Everything in one zip. Exciting. Isn't it?
What it includes?
Bare minimum (and latest version of) google apps to run play store.
Facelock and Google Camera (with Google Lens and Portrait mode support)
Magisk to root
7 mido kernels to choose from
Android Boot animation (will add more as per user requests)
Google Sans font, Made Evolved Font (will add more as per user requests)
Several Ringtones and Notification tones (the ones I like)
Best Chosen System apps
Choice of deleting several bloatware (those we don't normally use)
Reset Password in recovery when system fails to recognize the fingerprint/password
Addon.d support (this will preserve the installation of files that you selected in aroma across multiple roms)
If you like the idea kindly press 'Submit to Xda Portal'. If nothing, that'll encourage me somewhat. Thanks!
Note:-
"Core" Gapps include minimum apps required to run playstore
"Basic" Gapps include Core + Google Camera + Facelock
"Full" Gapps include Basic + few more google apps which we use in day to day life
Packages starting with "AF" contains Gapps, Kernels, Magisk, etc files

Yup, if people find it useful, I'll release pie gapps soon. Everything else from the package works on pie anyway, except for gapps.

Actually the screenshot in post #2 shows options to flash multiple kernels, when I tried that myself, I ended up flashing all the kernels one after the other and the last one was flashed eventually.
This is not right so I made changes in my tool to only allow 1 kernel to be flashed.
Flash the zip, you would only be able to choose one kernel at a time. No include/exclude options.
I'll update the screenshot in #2 post later on.

If you wish to be able to uninstall what you installed, uncheck when you are on addon.d screen, that'll not preserve your changes when you will flash the ROM again.
Flash the ROM again, that will Uninstall everything.
I'll give it a shot!
