Note: This port is 100% built from source, based on the work of subskype. All credits goes to him!
I try to maintain subskype's original project releasing a new version when will be sensible modifications into CM7.2 git tree
CyanogenMod 7.2.0 "GalaxyMini" Port
Latest release: mebitek [11 November 2012]
Latest Google Apps package: official: 20110828
Pre-requisites:
Your phone must have a Gingerbread bootloader installed (as it uses the 2.6.35 kernel & Gingerbread proprietary files).
Any version of ClockworkMod that supports EXT4 partitions. Unfortunately, the build supplied with ROM Manager doesn't seem to be compatible.
Recommended: ensure that you have a backup of your current ROM and user data.
Installation:
Reboot into ClockworkMod. You can do this via adb reboot recovery, or by choosing the Reboot -> Recovery menu if you are already using CyanogenMod.
If you are upgrading from a stock or custom ROM, you absolutely must perform a data wipe: Select wipe data/factory reset and confirm the operation. Note that you will lose all of your user data, so be sure that you have performed a backup. Otherwise, skip to the next step.
Choose the option install update from sdcard -> choose zip from sdcard. You will see the two (or three) .zip files in the list.
install:
The base package named update-cm-7.X-GalaxyMini-KANG-signed.zip
The Google Apps package, named gapps-gb-DATE-signed.zip
Once all packages are installed, you can now reboot

it is safe to wipe data.
You can backup your apps with Titanium Backup, sms with sms backup and export your contacts in the contacts menu.
I suggest to do a nandroid backup before wipe and flash the rom so you can easily restore all your device in just one click from recovery menu
Nice work
Just one thing, please upload to mediafire instead. Github is not an upload site. Its meant for source code only.
Thanks i will try it immidiately
nice
but NIGHLTY BUILDS will be releasing the pure and official CM7.2 for our mini
so i think that would be nicer
thanks for the effort here
the unit is 5570
not 5770

well saying squad mod is not exactly correct.
he's just using mods that have not yet been merged into the tree..most of it is still up for review. it'll will be part of vanilla cm7 once it's merged.
so this nighlty by squad is his usual rom with source update(nightly changelog) i believe(just like what u've done)..i have not tried it so i'm not very sure.
----edit----
sorry i cant really have a say on this as i have not tried the 'nightlies'.
ok wait....nightly builds by squad are pure but with using his device config.
and the experimental builds implement unmerged mods frm the cm gerrit.

TheROM - take it or leave it
Okay guys, as promised I am sharing the ROM I made for myself to suit my personal needs.
I prefer stability and smoothness over features - so it focuses on some core features I love but isn't overloaded with each and every possible option out there.
All features are carefully and cleanly picked into the ROM without the use of nasty hacks wherever possible.
Please read the FAQ at the end of the first post before using this ROM!
If you appreciate my work on the LG Optimus 2x you can support me by donating!
I am doing this for free in my leisure time because I like working on Android stuff and helping others out.
You're not required to donate, but I highly appreciate a couple free beers or pizzas as a gratidue for my work.
To quote one of the most famous xda developers:
Chainfire said:
Don't be a leech, buy me a beer (and use the "Thanks" button!). Imagine if every CF-Root user has donated me $1...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I am nowhere near his usercount, but just imagine if every happy (and only those) user of one of my ROMs has donated 5€+.
Important:
Let me explain the "take it or leave it" phrase from the title:
You got two options, either you like the ROM and use it as it is without any complaints, or you don't and use another one.
I made this ROM for myself and am sharing it to you as there's a broad interest.
But I am not interested at all in feature requests, ETA questions, silly bug reports(!), etc. etc.
If I derped something (e.g. a FC within the settings app) you can of course post about it.
But you have to a) do a full wipe and confirm the bug is still there, b) describe your bug in detail, c) post a logcat.
It is the ROM I personally use (or for the CM10.1 version: used), so you can talk about the ROM, but you don't get to ask about any changes.
If we're clear on the rules let's go to the fun part.
This thread is in the general section for a reason. As we're not going to discuss which features this ROM absolutely needs we got a whole thread to our liking.
Which means: It's meme time!

FAQ:
Read the FAQ carefully before asking any questions!
Okay, I know you said no feature requests, but I really need [feature xyz]!
Why should I try this ROM?
I want to try this ROM, can I just flash it and be good to go?
I have a question..
New: I have a question regarding bluetooth...
Listen, I'd like to know if you could ...
I will donate to you if you include my beloved feature:
This is a joke right?
Really, I just want to know when you're going to release the next update?
I don't like the way you're doing this thread!
TheROM
Okay, this ROM comes in two versions. CM10.1 and CM10.2 based.
The former is based on my work on CM10.1.
The latter is based on my work-in-progress CM10.2.
If you're new to the LG 2x then you should check both linked threads and read about the differences, bugs and features of these ROMs.
I just don't see a reason to have two threads for this ROM, thus I'm merging them together in here.
The CM10.1 ROM is deprecated, it's been the ROM I've been using until I made the switch to CM10.2.
I just share it here for those of you who might prefer it. So don't expect any further updates.
FEATURES / INFORMATION:
Only features I made or ported are listed here, nothing that's already in CM.
TheROM CM10.2:
Hybrid Engine (per app dpi / layout)
Halo 2.0
Additional hardwarebutton customizations
(like Screen off, open Torch, Power menu etc.)
Notification Brightness slider
Center Clock option
Text-only battery style
PreferenceDrawer in the Settings
Custom Carrier text
Advanced low battery options
My memory management option
Fixed performance menu for Tegra2
Option for all home screen widgets on the lockscren
notification drawer background & transparency
standard softkey vibration lowered
ships with the awesome kowalski kernel by pengus77
comes with my non-neon compatible mini gapps package
Option to use the external storage as default one
comes with bluedroid which means speedup bug and no BT phone calls possible
If I find some time I might try to include bluez, but right now I don't and bluedroid will stay in until further notice.
App Ops option in the settings (with PAs changes)
based on the newest CM10.2 sources
and loads of small stuff here and there I forgot to list
Differences in the depracted CM10.1-based version:
comes with an older Halo version (1.0)
ships a couple more hardwarebutton customizations (esp. custom app)
comes with bluez and is compiled with GCC 4.7 which means a) no speedup bug but therefore b) no BT phone calls
based on CM10.1.2 stable + custom picks of the nightlies
Download:
Get the ROMs here:
http://tonyp.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/TheROM/
All ROMs are for the newbl - if you're using the oldbl use the converter (or wait for someone to upload the converted build).
Kowalski Kernel M1 rh and my non-neon compatible mini gapps are included.
Installation instructions:
CM10.2 (coming from another ROM than my CM10.2):
Do a full wipe. Do another reboot after the first boot. Don't *****.
CM10.1 (coming from another ROM than my CM10.1):
Do a full wipe!
Updating to a newer TheROM build:
Flash the ROM. Reboot. No wipes needed.
Do not update from any CM10.1 ROM to CM10.2 (full wipe it is!)
Known Bugs:
Do not ask about features on the known bugs list. They're known, there's no need for a reminder.
all CM bugs (no HDMI rotation etc.) are present - check the CM10.1 / CM10.2 threads for more details
This especially means that on CM10.2 bluetooth calls are not working!!
If this is a dealbreaker for you: move to a ICS / CM10 or my CM10.1 t-build ROM!
See this post for more details regarding the bluetooth situation.
Hybrid Engine: Sometimes changing the system dpi will produce a small layout error (an empty line below the statusbar).
Just do a reboot and it's gone
Credits:

This Known Issues List
should prevent one-liner finding reports related to already known issues
should keep later disappointment from end-users of tonyp's theROM and clean CM 10.2
defines an everlasting unique identifier for each known issue. Use the identifier for simplified unambiguous communication. Please write e.g. "issue #2" if you want to refer to the silent blue-tooth call bug
should show possible workarounds, or, even better, should motivate discussions to fix the issue.
should neither let you imply that the issue will be fixed soon, nor that it is fixable at all! It is technically really hard to analyze, find and fix the root cause. Please never ask for an ETA! The community is aware of, and is of cause already unhappy (see e.g. this post) about these known issues.
will not cover issues that exist in only 1 or 2 intermediate builds of theROM and that are already fixed in the latest build. Please also consult change log by @[email protected]
Known Issues List as of 2013/12/28 (theROM build 22-26 resp. clean CM10.2 incl. 2013-12-13):
HDMI doesn't work
Workaround: use stock LG GB ROM (I don't know whether stock LG ICS works)
Calls from BT headset connect but are silent for caller and callee
Workaround: use e.g. CM10.1 T-builds or ParanoidAndroid (PA) ROM
Root cause: not yet found; speculation: volume gain factor is set to 0 somewhere
Discussion: see e.g. post3, post2 , post1 issue b)
Mobile data counting doesn't work (blue arrows on mobile data indicator don't appear; e.g. Avast shows error message)
Workaround: use e.g. CM10.1 T-builds or ParanoidAndroid (PA) ROM
Root cause: bug in Android 4.3 (inherited to CM10.2)!?
Discussion: see e.g. note 3 in post3, post2, post1, report to Google
Stock camera
takes heavily over-exposed pics with flash
Workaround: tap the screen first before you click the camera fire button; this will correct exposure parameters
crashes often, or produces crashes of Trebuchet and gallery
Workaround 1: use e.g. cam app ported for CM10.1 by feav; it provides also features like panorama pix missing in the stock cam
Workaround 2 (not fully proven): flash the gallery.apk from build 23; some say the stock cam works without crashes then
BT media playback speeds up after minutes to hours.
Fix: at least fixed in build 22 (I dont't remember the exact build)
Some apps (e.g. Candy Crush) crash with the KK in the RAM hack version
Workaround: flash the no RAM hack (norh) version of Kowalski kernel (KK) by Pengus77
Slow GPS fix. Cause: missing file \data\gps\lto.dat that is up to date too.
Fix: seems to be fixed in build 23; some issues with the fix have been reported; under investigation
Literature: xda forum thread2, [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15271402#post15271402"]thread1[/URL]
Long lags after heavy filling and emptying the flash memory. Reboot does not help
Workaround: backup data partition, wipe it, and restore the backup
Root cause: kernel does not implement TRIM functionality that makes use of the SD/MMC ERASE (CMD38) command.
References: wikipedia TRIM, wikipedia TRIM#SD/MMC
Discussion: post4, post3, post2, post1
Mobile data mode keeps being disabled when switching airplane mode off
Workaround: either disable and re-enable data or toggle 2g/3g twice. In some rare cases these workarounds won't work and a reboot is needed
Root cause: yet unknown
Current time shown is that for GMT time zone instead of for your local timezone. Time shift is always in full hours.
Workaround 1: Reboot; normally this restores correct time display.
Workaround 2: Disable automatic time sync and install a time sync app
Workaround 3: If you'd like to keep using automatic time you should add "telephony.test.ignore.nitz=true" to your build.prop
Root cause: yet unknown
Discussion: post2, topic #3 in post1
Some apps always crash under theROM and they also don't work on stock ICS on P990. Some of such seem to be Viber, Instagram, etc.
Request: please report as soon as the app started working correction on a new theROM build.
Recommendation 1: Search in this thread if your app is known to be incompatible with theROM
Recommendation 2: Search the internet if your app is known to be incompatible with stock ICS on P990
Recommendation 3: Try your app on P990 under stock ICS
Rule: never post problems with your app in this thread if its incompatibility to theROM or ICS on P990 is already known!
Recommendation 4: Ask the author of your app for help
Workaround: Use your app on P990 under stock ICS, or on another phone. (sorry for bad news!)
Root cause: potentially missing NEON support by P990; many others possible
no FM radio
note: theROM builds from version 27 ship Kowalski Kernel 3.1 (instead of KK 2.6 M1). As this might solve old known issues and might bring new ones I decided to archive and hide the above list for builds up to version 26. The below list for build version from 27 starts as a 1:1 copy of the above. As I am not on build 27 yet, I am not able to bring in my own experience. Additionally I don't have the time to read and evaluate all posts regarding build 27+. Please notify me for necessary corrections and additions of the below list.
Known Issues List as of 2013/12/28 (theROM build from 27):
HDMI doesn't work
Workaround: use stock LG GB ROM (I don't know whether stock LG ICS works)
Calls from BT headset connect but are silent for caller and callee
Workaround: use e.g. CM10.1 T-builds or ParanoidAndroid (PA) ROM
Root cause: not yet found; speculation: volume gain factor is set to 0 somewhere
Discussion: see e.g. post3, post2 , post1 issue b)
Mobile data counting doesn't work (blue arrows on mobile data indicator don't appear; e.g. Avast shows error message)
Workaround: use e.g. CM10.1 T-builds or ParanoidAndroid (PA) ROM
Root cause: bug in Android 4.3 (inherited to CM10.2)!?
Discussion: see e.g. note 3 in post3, post2, post1, report to Google
Stock camera
takes heavily over-exposed pics with flash
Workaround: tap the screen first before you click the camera fire button; this will correct exposure parameters
crashes often, or produces crashes of Trebuchet and gallery
Workaround 1: use e.g. cam app ported for CM10.1 by feav; it provides also features like panorama pix missing in the stock cam
Workaround 2 (not fully proven): flash the gallery.apk from build 23; some say the stock cam works without crashes then
BT media playback speeds up after minutes to hours.
Fix: at least fixed in build 22 (I dont't remember the exact build)
Some apps (e.g. Candy Crush) crash with the KK in the RAM hack version
Workaround: flash the no RAM hack (norh) version of Kowalski kernel (KK) by Pengus77
Slow GPS fix. Cause: missing file \data\gps\lto.dat that is up to date too.
Fix: seems to be fixed in build 23; some issues with the fix have been reported; under investigation
Literature: xda forum thread2, [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15271402#post15271402"]thread1[/URL]
Long lags after heavy filling and emptying the flash memory. Reboot does not help
Workaround: backup data partition, wipe it, and restore the backup
Root cause: kernel does not implement TRIM functionality that makes use of the SD/MMC ERASE (CMD38) command.
References: wikipedia TRIM, wikipedia TRIM#SD/MMC
Discussion: post4, post3, post2, post1
Mobile data mode keeps being disabled when switching airplane mode off
Workaround: either disable and re-enable data or toggle 2g/3g twice. In some rare cases these workarounds won't work and a reboot is needed
Root cause: yet unknown
Current time shown is that for GMT time zone instead of for your local timezone. Time shift is always in full hours.
Workaround 1: Reboot; normally this restores correct time display.
Workaround 2: Disable automatic time sync and install a time sync app
Workaround 3: If you'd like to keep using automatic time you should add "telephony.test.ignore.nitz=true" to your build.prop
Root cause: yet unknown
Discussion: post2, topic #3 in post1
Some apps always crash under theROM and they also don't work on stock ICS on P990. Some of such seem to be Viber, Instagram, etc.
Request: please report as soon as the app started working correction on a new theROM build.
Recommendation 1: Search in this thread if your app is known to be incompatible with theROM
Recommendation 2: Search the internet if your app is known to be incompatible with stock ICS on P990
Recommendation 3: Try your app on P990 under stock ICS
Rule: never post problems with your app in this thread if its incompatibility to theROM or ICS on P990 is already known!
Recommendation 4: Ask the author of your app for help
Workaround: Use your app on P990 under stock ICS, or on another phone. (sorry for bad news!)
Root cause: potentially missing NEON support by P990; many others possible
no FM radio
Consider not flashing theROM in case you can't live with one or more of the listed open issues.
Please report any ideas, how to further analyze or fix the issue. Or please provide better workarounds.
The above list is to my best knowledge. I can neither guarantee it is correct nor it is complete. Please help to improve it.
Every bug is an issue. But there might be issues not caused by bugs (= errors in source code).

"THEROM CM10.2 - exp-opt OLD BOOTLOADER VERSION
Thanks and enjoy guys
Changelog TheROM - take it or leave it
Changelog build 27:
Ships with the awesome kk 3.1 bcmdhd alpha 15 by @pengus77.
Big thanks to @hjunii - without him this wouldn't be possible.
added option & quicksettings tile to enable/disable Halo
reverted my netd tethering hacks, they were bcm4329 specific.
I do not know if tethering works with bcmdhd, yet - feedback required
re-enabled wifi optimizations by default (they were incompatible with bcm4329, so i had disabled them)
in case you notice any problems (which you shouldn't) go to settings - wifi - advanced and untick it.
Changelog build 26:
merged CM10.2.0 stable codebase
merged all TheROM translations pull requests
Changelog build25:
fixed Stock Camera
cyanogen has merged in some Features which our camera blobs don't support anyways, so I've rolled them back
merged upstream
I believe this should fix the ThemeChooser some people posted here, at least I've seen a commit regarding that on Gerrit.
Please provide feedback.
Changelog build 24:
fixed the brightnessslider to only show when enabled
merged CM10.2 RC1
ships with a customized KowalskiManager by @wfd which automatically enabled auto hotplug as well
Changelog build 23:
added auto downloading the lto.dat file (for gps assistion data). Hopefully this brings up GPS back to the CM10.1 standards (at least after the first fix aka TTFF).
It's enabled by default, but will only update the file via WiFi by default (check the new option at Settings - Location access)
Properly enabled GPU accelleration.
I've found out that our device didn't fully utilize hardware accelleration. The reason is our low RAM - and enabling hwa takes about 8mb.
But with a GPU as powerful as ours I think those 8mb are well spent, we'll see how it turns out, make sure to post feedback.
In a first quick test the UI does seem more responsive.
Note that this is NOT equal to the "Force GPU rendering" option in the developer section! This one should stay off, as apps that for various reasons do not use GPU rendering shouldn't get forced into it.
enabled 2nd core auto hotplug by default. This will hopefully get rid of the plug-in BSODs of people not reading the threads (and thus not enabling the option at the KowalskiManager).
updated Torch overlay (this does hopefully fix the missing torch widgets some people had - please post feedback)
updated the OpenGL version. I have no idea how and if we'll notice that.
Thanks @DJNoXD for sending me a pull request.
removed the CMUpdater which slipped in under my nose.
I've slapped in a new more generic bootanimation, courtecy of +Dima Skvarskyi
Changelog build 22:
-Os buildflag optimizations
(smaller modules loaded into the RAM means more free RAM available to the phone)
synced to CM10.2-M1
Changelog build 21:
merged upstream
(3 weeks of CM10.2 patches and updates - didn't particularly check them, if you notice something new post it here)
included Google Maps (v7.3.0) by default
(as Google removed Tegra2 compatibilty for v7.0+)
reverted the Camera Wrapper for now, I am not convinced about it's usefulness and want to try it without for some time again.
Changelog build 20:
It's mostly identical to build 19, I just merged upstream and included the new translations (see below).
A couple days ago I read a tip somewhere to use -Os instead of -O2 when compiling arm modules.
So I just made another exp build to try this - you can find it labeled as "exp opt" (experimental optimization) in the download directory.
In theory the exp build should have a slightly worse performance (if noticable at all) but more free RAM which could help our low RAM phone (if noticeable at all).
Oh and I've included the translations I got sent (Spanish, French, Russian, Portuguese BR & PT):
https://github.com/tonyp/TheROM-translations/commits/master
Changelog build 19:
It's basically an upstream merge - but CM fixed the Camera image being "stuck" after taking a photo, which is the last bug that I wanted to see fixed before calling it the next stable.
Changelog build 18:
Quickmemo support
As @Firtecy already posted he fixed the Quickmemo apk to work with CM10.2.
Thus I re-added the Quickmemo support into the framework.
I've recoded it with a better, adaptive implementation. Now you'll only have the Quickmemo entry in the Buttons settings when Quickmemo is actually installed - if not it will be completely hidden.
Flashable zip download here: http://tonyp.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/TheROM/addons/
To open it you got two options: press vol- and vol+ simultaneously or assign the button at Settings - Buttons.
added a new bootanimation.
Thanks to @vviper for creating it!
replaced statusbar icons with the one from PA (which are a little lighter)
removed the Statusbar Transparency "always" option
Settings - buttons FC fix + another minor memory leak fix + merged upstream
Changelog build 17:
Network Location Toggle
Custom System Animations
Fixed a bunch of FCs & brought back Storage Settings content
merged upstream (Camera Launcher QS Tile etc.)
Changelog build 16:
removed ActiveDisplay again
disabled listview animation by default
You can turn it on at Settings - TheROM. I think they're quite fun to play around with!
merged upstream fixes
Changelog build 15:
Statusbar Transparency
Active Display re-added (I've disabled the proximity sensor properly now - it only gets used in the pocket mode now)
Still this does drain some battery when you get lots of Notifications. I'll look into creating a widget to toggle it on and off.
ListView animations
To show off and for the lulz it's enabled by default - you can disable (or change) it at TheROM settings.
I've added a a quick option to the Notification Drawer style options to restart the SystemUI.
I've been annoyed by the fact that I either had to reboot or use an external app.
changed default dpi to 213
(you can change back to the stock 240 at TheROM settings - hybrid)
merged upstream
(but removed the CMAccount, me no likey)
Changelog build 14:
Implemented the RIL_UNSOL_LGE_RESTART_RILD response.
This has been reported as missing by @gios_ some time ago here.
I'm not sure if the implementation is correct, I've adaptoed it from the P880.
We'll have to test and see if it changes anything for those who still have data drops every now and then (for me they seem fixed since kk 126).
(Note: This isn't related to the no signal after airplane mode bug, which you usually can solve easily by double tapping data in the QuickSettings (= disable and enable it)).
Replaced PerformanceControl with the KernelControl app by @Beene.
If you encounter any bugs make sure to report them to him and post your feedback about the app in his thread.
Merged upstream.
One of the changes is the integration of CMs PrivacyGuard into App Ops - called Privacy Guard 2.0.
You'll find it at Settings - Security - Privacy Guard.
Unfortunately the longpress on an item (where you could fine tune your settings in theory) isn't working yet (FCs), will get fixed soon.
Update: here is an updated Settings.apk which will solve the FC for those who need access to App Ops.
Needs to be pushed to /system/app. Then longpress the app in the Privacy Guard options.
Changelog build 13:
removed Active Display for now
(fixes the battery drain)
Changelog build 12:
cleaned some commits, especially Active Display
It works as expected for me - hopefully now for everyone else as well.
Additionally it's a "make clean" build, I assume the android version update broke something here in the last one.
fixed some logspamming
I've discovered a minor bug in the Processor settings in the Performance menu.
Thus I disabled it - to compensate it I included an updated PerformanceControl app again, which gots some decent additions compared to the old version
I removed ViPER FX again as I discovered you can just get it from the PlayStore
Don't worry, it'll be in English once you install it
restructured the TheROM Settings. I've got a PM from someone who wanted to translate it to other languages, this makes it easier.
You can download the strings here
After translating the file move it into the correct subfolder for your language and post it here, then I'll include it.
Changelog build 11:
I got great news. I don't know if someone remembers, but ages ago in my PA ROM I had experimented with hacking the framework and changed some ADJ values to protect the launcher from redrawing.
One shouldn't just change the values (that's what the SuperCharger does), as that would break androids default memory management, thus I re-arrenged the code in the ActivityManagerService to reflect those changes back then.
I just had a look at my old code and figured out a way better and way cleaner method to hook into that.
I've just compiled my testbuild and it seems to work. It's not yet ready, just a test if my theoretical concept works.
I want to introduce an option for that, where you can control the intensity. By the end of next week I will have a bit more time, then I'll expose an option in the settings.
My current idea is to call it "Prevent launcher redraws" with the levels "disabled", "moderate", "needtothinkofsomething" and "extreme".
Currently extreme is hardcoded.
I've uploaded the build to my TheROM folder if anyone wants to try it out. Please give feedback if you notice an improvement.
With extreme it'll be quite hard to get it killed, as only perceptible apps (like playing music) will be more important.
I've switched around between Google+, Boat Browser and the Reader+ app and I didn't manage to kill the launcher
Edit: good, opening webpages with loads of images in the browser does kill the launcher. We don't want to have it unkillable (keep in memory), when the system needs the ram it should be possible to get it.
It's a lot cleaner than the hacky way the Supercharger does to accomplish the same goal.
The supercharger hacks into the framework and changes the ADJ values directly - unfortunately these are directly accessed in the ActivityManagerService.java which causes some unwanted sideeffects with the default android memory management.
I'm just modifing the ADJ value at runtime.
Additionally what I really don't like with the Supercharger: It's prioritizing the Launcher above perceptible and even visible apps.
Killing the music player while listening to music or killing visible elements instead of the launcher when the system needs memory? That's insane imo.
To prevent confusion: visible apps are not identical to the foreground app - but could be some elements visible behind an overlay. Would still look bad if those suddenly dissappear.
Edit: I've decided to just brand it as build 11.
Additional changelog: Android 4.3 JLS36G merged
Changelog build 10:
- added Active Display options from ChameleonOS
- added notification drawer background options and transparency (requires a reboot to apply)
- QuickSettings: option to open the apps in floating mode ("in Halo") on longpress
- RAM usage circle on recent apps
- cherrypicked some memory leak fixes from various sources
- fixed some FCs
- fixed (?) the Trebuchet FCs (at least I can activate the searchbar again)
- merged upstream
Changelog build 09:
Based on the idea of alok.tari clicking the clock in the statusbar dropdown will open Timely if it's installed.
(Longpressing it will always open the clock app you set as default).
Then I reverted the dalvik low memory initializing, I suspect that to be related to some of the slowdowns. The system will use ~6mb more RAM again, but it might be worth it, we'll see.
Additionally I merged upstream of course - I've seen some fixes for headset plug-in (which fixes a bug if you don't have a music player app installed) and Trebuchet, I guess these will fix the issues reported here.
I will say it again: CM10.2 is in nightly status - which means there will be bugs every now and then in the sources.
Let's hope CM will try to build stable releases soon again, as soon as those are out the amount of new bugs will decrease.
I won't have the time to look into individual issues up until the end of this month.
I just quickly made this build for myself (and am sharing it here with you).
Changelog build 08:
- new options for Halo (ninja mode, ping etc.)
- ViPER FX replaces DSPManager
- back to the ramhack kernel (M1) - I just missed the additional RAM it gives which results in more Launcher redraws etc.
- Cyanogenmod account (check CMs G+ page for details)
- Trebuchet: Support for custom icons per shortcut
- merged upstream
Changelog build 07:
- notification sound bug fix while playing media
- enabled backlight button brightness options at Settings -> Buttons
- reverted gps.tegra.so to the one official CM10 and CM10.1 use (this fixes all GPS problems for me)
- included Kowalski M1 norh kernel
- merged upstream (loads of bugfixes from CM)
Last but not least I tried something highly experimental - I decreased(!) the playback buffer as I want to know if this has an impact on A2DP playback.
Unfortunately I don't have my BT headset at hand, so you guys need to test it.
> Is BT audio (listening to mp3s) still working?
> Does the audio still speed-up?
Additionally I added some missing bluetooth configurations which might or might not increase it's stability.
Changelog build 06:
Gosh I just hate bugs, so I just had to push out a quick fixup build
I fixed the SystemUI FCs (this has been a bit nasty!), the Bluetooth share FC after booting and @Firtecy fixed his disappearing brightnessslider after rebooting.
(you can push the Bluetooth.apk to the clean CM10.2 ROM to fix the bluetooth share FC there as well).
Changelog build 05:
I've added the Notification BrightnessSlider, ported by @Firtecy (thx!).
Additionally some other small fixes I stumbled across + I removed the QuickMemo option again for now - it only works for CM10 and CM10.1 until someone ports it.
Changelog build 04:
I've added the following hardwarekeys button actions to the ROM:
- Screen off
- Open Power menu
- Toggle Last app
- Toggle Torch
- Take Screenshot
- Quickmemo (this is optional, you need to use my Quickmemo installer)
The CM10.1 ROM had some more options (like custom app, re-assign the back key), but that would have required more work and time than I can currently spend).
The important ones are in now (I consider Torch and Powermenu/Screen off extremely useful).
Oh and in CM10.2 you got the sweet "double tap home action".
Google keyboard updated to v1.1
Trebuchet loosing icons should be fixed
Changelog build 03:
Hybrid Engine \o/
Focal removed - it's buggy and takes 12mb of space
Extract it from my CM10.2 ROM if you need it
Donation menu moved to the buttom to get it out of the way
Some new stuff for Trebuchet , including the option to use icon packs
Oh and the apk now takes about 6 instead of the former 12mb
Some small fixes here and there
Changelog build 02:
I have pushed a small bugfixing update online: cm-10.2-TheROM-20130826.2-tonyp.zip
I just did some quick workarounds which certainly isn't perfect, but fixes the FCs for now:
1.) I removed the SetupWizard.apk. The PreferenceDrawer Settings app is causing problems with it. I will fix it properly when I find the time, but the Wizard isn't really needed anyways.
You will just have to manually go to Settings - Accounts and add your Google account now after a full wipe.
2.) I have removed the two SDCards from the storage menu (it now only contains the option to use the external SD as default one).
I tried some quick fixes but they didn't work and I really gtg, so this will do for now. Again I will properly fix it when I get more time.
If you absolutely need access to the menu for something (although I don't know what this could be) you should be able to use the Settings.apk from my CM10.2 build for that.
I've hidden old changelogs to shorten the post. You have link to every original post/changelog from tonyp...

ROM OS Version: 4.4.4 KitKat
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.96
ROM Firmware Required: 10.26.1.18 bootloader
Based On: CyanogenMod 11 AOSP
Version Information
Status: Beta
Current Beta Version: 20140714

How to Upgrade!
HOW TO FLASH
Make sure you have prepared by copying the ROM zip file to your internal SD Card or external SD Card first.
Please Unlock using the Asus Unlock Tool first found here.
Note installing and running this app will wipe your device and void your warranty.
You can flash CWM 6.0.4.7 using the instructions here.
Direct File Link is here.
To flash a recovery you need to have the fastboot.exe file and cwm recovery.img file in the same folder.
Right click + shift on the folder they are in and choose open command prompt here
Boot into the Bootloader by either booting with the Power and Volume Down Buttons held down until you get the 3 icons or by typing the following into the command prompt.
Code:
adb reboot bootloader
Then type the following commands to flash the recovery image:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
Start the recovery by making sure the RCK icon is highlighted (use volume down to move) and push volume up to select.
If you need to move to the latest bootloader then manually install the 10.26.1.18 firmware from the Asus website.
In recovery choose install zip - install zip from /sdcard and maneuver to the folder you put the rom.zip (vol up and down) and select it using power button.
The AROMA installer will start - as we have no touch screen drivers in CWM yet you will have to use VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN to navigate and POWER to select. Choose as many options as you require
Finally reboot when finished.

1. Enable developer options by clicking the build number 7 times in settings - about tablet
2. Go to developer settings
3. In the first section click Root access and change to Apps and ADB
Enjoy your rooted rom

Good work! [emoji2]
Ballin out of control.
You must have read my mind, was going to ask if you could add options for disabling fsync and journalling. Awesome work, cant wait to test.
PS - How is dolphins performance? Now that stock is flash player free i will need a new browser
In this ROM don't work Home button and express settings in status bar. Maybe because I flash it without full wipe, only cache and dalvik cache. But perfomance is greate :good:

Thanks...I'm downloading:good:
Rom is great, installation went without a glitch. Some apps unchecked did install anyway (ie News & Weather) but that was also the case in 4.3 if I remember well.
The only problem I have at the moment is to load Google Agenda Everything seems to have synced well but the agenda. I get a message that "Sync is currently experiencing problems,. It will be back shortly" , so it might not be related to the rom.
Question/comment: I understand that you did not include lucius.zen's tweak with regard to screen unresponsivness?
edit: can I add it to 95CleanTWEAKS
Anyhow, this a great rom. Chapeau!:good:

Yes I agree it doesn't seem to help the cmbase as much. I need to look into the kernel to see how it is used.

thanks for your quick response. I still have this morning a problem with my google account (sync error with agenda). I'd like to know if anyone else has that problem?
Thanks. So should flashing this over cm11 be fine?

The OP would recommend that you do a full wipe before flashing, to get the most out of this ROM that's just what we advice.. :good:
If you do have issue, don't be surprised if that's one of the first things your asked... 'Did you do a full wipe' ??
Thx Josh

Ya I took the risk.
Not recommended (Google play, I'd issues, home button not working)
Sure is much faster though.
Still going through the process of getting everything all setup again. So far all is sweet.
And Props to the new boot animation, simple but very clever.

I have a similar problem with Google Calendar not syncing. And yes, I did a full wipe. I've also tried removing the Calendar from the ROM (both manually and through a re-install) and installing instead from the Play store.
But the ROM overall is very responsive.

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.
Code:
/* #include <std_disclaimer.h>
*
* Your tablet's warranty is now void.
* This is a custom ROM developed by p3dboard.
* You are flashing this on your Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 at your own peril.
* I am not responsible for hard bricks, damages to SD Cards, thermonuclear war,
* or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
* I would definitely help you out if you are stuck somewhere, provided that you give
* me clear details of the mishap.
* Don't ask for ETA's cause there is a thing called "LIFE" outside XDA.

SlimLP is currently in beta stage, some settings are already in place, much is still missing and would come with time. Stay tuned!
I am also new to development, so not as experienced as Daniel, and I also don't have a lot of extra time, so I'll do what I can, and fix what I can as I learn over time. But I wanted to contribute something new, and from Daniels survey, Slim was the second most popular rom after Carbon.
WHAT'S INCLUDED: (This is just a standard blurb, some of these SLIM extra's are not in their Beta yet)
Android Lollipop
Slim Center
Slim Launcher
Slim File Manager
Slim Heads Up
The Real Dark Slim User Interface
SlimPIE (inspired by ParanoidAndroid's PIE with a light touch of Slim)
Smart Card Service
Adaptive Backlight
Adaptive Brightness
Smart Lock
Privacy Guard
Sounds Tweaks(Audio FX and Music FX)
Status Bar Tweaks
Battery Saver Mode
Removed Bloatwares
Notification Reminder/Snoozer
Drawer Shortcuts
Lockscreen Shortcuts
Custom Quick Settings Tiles
Improved Performance
Camera - True View
Camera - Smart Capture
and Much More!
WHAT'S WORKING:
Camera
Video Recording
Wi-Fi
Bluetooth
ADB
Proximity Sensor
External SD Card
Internal SD Card
Video Playback
Speaker
Airplane Mode
RIL(Mobile and Data Network)
Compass - Can require calibration before being reasonably accurate (moving tablet around in a figure 8 a few times) - Might be a way to recalibrate this?
Automatic Brightness Sensor
GPS
POSSIBLY WORKING - TESTING REQUIRED:
Mobile Hotspot (can someone with a p6800 tell me if it works for them?)
BUGS/NOT WORKING:
Wifi Driver Bug that can reboot (ES Explorer Direct Send between two devices)
QS Torch Tile (Quick Settings Torch)
Touch Keyboard at initial boot - you need to either not flash GAPPS immediately or cancel the Setup with GAPPS flashed, then go into SETTINGS -> LANGUAGE&INPUT -> Current Keyboard and then turn on Hardware Input - After that the AOSP keyboard works - need to figure out how to fix this.
HOW TO INSTALL:
1. Download the ROM and the GApps and place them on your SD Card/Internal Storage.
2. Reboot tablet into TWRP recovery.
3. Wipe data, cache(factory reset), dalvik/art cache and system.
4. Flash the ROM and the GApps.
5. Reboot System. (First boot takes 5-6 minutes. Be patient.)
UPGRADING: If you are upgrading from a previous SlimLP build (not Kit kat Slim rom's, as you will get some issues)
1. Download the ROM, place it on your SD Card/Internal Storage.
2. Reboot tablet into TWRP recovery.
3. Flash the ROM
4. Reboot System.

Change Log and Downloads
Slim Gerrit - Slim Rom's change log
4 April 2016
SlimLP Beta 0.15 - Build #1.8 - Build Date 20160406 - Download ROM from this URL
- Updated Source Code to Beta 0.15 (Patch Level is up to February 2016 in Security - Possibly this is the last update Slim might make for Android 5.1.1, CM 12.1 sources have been updated to April 2014, but not Slim so far)
- P6800 & P6810 builds completed (just the NoZram version)
- Added Daniel's Performance Control app, but it errors out when going to the Battery tab, I'll leave it in their incase anyone wants to use the CPU / Governor controls - but if you want to tweak memory, use another app like Trickster Mod from the play store.
- Returned Davlik Memory settings back to stock in this build, as if you don't have too many apps installed that run background services, you can open apps that use larger Ram values.
I decided to recompile a newer build as I wanted a Rom with a more recent security patch level that also had Google Play Movies working, Android 6.0 currently has issues the the L3 DRM blobs. It's still got the same old issues as mentioned in the first post with workarounds as above - Touch keyboard, and the QS Flashlight not working, along with the reboot bug if you try to transfer data over Wifi using Es Explorer. But apart from that its pretty stable.
28 Oct 2015
SlimLP Beta 0.10 - Build #1.7 - Build Date 20151028 - Download ROM from this URL
- Updated Source Code to Beta 0.10
- Making two version of the build, one with zRam and one without - you can choose which one you feel performs better
- Updated RIL libraries for p6800 from Daniels latest CM 12.1 build (October 2015 build)
- p6800 rom's uploading now for Build 1.7, zRam and no-zRam version
- The no zRam version still supports zRam but its not turned on by default. If you have the app Trickster Mod from the playstore, (there's probably others) you can turn the zRam off any time you want to while running the rom. If you turn it off and then back on in Trickster Mod however, the new zRam partition is only 10% of the memory, which is smaller then the 256mb zRam I am turning on at boot.
- P6810 Zram build uploaded, uploading non-zram p6810 rom version now, compiling p6800 rom.
- P6810 beta 0.10 compile completed (no zRam version), uploading, compiling p6810 zram build. Once this finishes building, i'll start the p6800 build
- Synced SlimLP Beta 0.10 source code, starting compile of P6810 rom
- I'll make two builds of each for the next rom, one with Zram turned on and one without.
- I still haven't had time to look at the Keyboard issue or the QS torch icon, got to many things on at the moment - so just doing source code updates
14 Oct 2015
SlimLP Beta 0.9 - Build #1.6.2 - Build Date 20151014 - Download ROM from this URL
- Added missing blob libsec-ril.so file for p6800
- Added a 256mb zram swap partition (cm12.1 i9100 nightly just implemented this as they said it can help with low memory situations, so I've added it to see if it helps us at all - give me feedback, we can always turn it off).
@4:05pm - p6800 build is uploaded.
@3:35pm - p6800 build complete, checked that libsec-ril.so was in the /system/lib folder. Uploading now (about 30min it should be there)
@8:44am - build 1.6.2 for p6810 with 256mb zram uploading now. I am building the p6800 rom now.
@8:25am - I just discovered I missed adding /system/lib/libsec-ril.so to the p6800 build (builds 1.6 and 1.6.1) - so stick with 1.5.1 until I fix this on the p6800, so Mobile services won't be available. I'll recompile the rom for the p6800 today.
13 Oct 2015
SlimLP Beta 0.9 - Build #1.6.1 - Build Date 20151013 - Download ROM from this URL
- New Stagefright security patch and October 1st Android Security patches (see Slim Gerrit changes for today for the latest list of changes)
- Bug in this build: P6800 rom missing RIL blob - mobile / data won't work
@6:43pm - p6810 build completed, uploading now.
@4:55pm - p6800 build 1.6.1 compiled, uploading now. Compiling the p6810 build now.
@4:00pm - i just noticed that the slimlp source just received the new stagefright security fix, i've synced the new source code updates and am compiling build 1.6.1, it also has the other Google security updates for October. Building p6800 rom now.
SlimLP Beta 0.9 - Build #1.6 - Build Date 20151012/13 - Download ROM from this URL
- Sources updated to SlimLP Beta 0.9
- Bluetooth built using Daniels new Bluetooth packages that allow Bluedroid and Bluez to co-exist
- Daniels USB-OTG update (from his sources)
- Bug in this build: P6800 rom missing RIL blob - mobile / data won't work
@3:08pm - p6800 build is up.
@2:20pm - p6800 build 1.6 compile completed. Uploading now (should be about 30min)
@8:23am - p6810 build 1.6 is uploaded
@8:20am - I'm uploading the p6810 build at the moment, then I'll start compiling the p6800 build
12 Oct 2015
- I've just downloaded SlimLP Beta 0.9 source code and sync'd Daniels latest device tries, starting on compile for the p6810 (Android 5.1.1_r20)
- I'm also going to test adding persist.sys.debug.multi_window=true to /system/build.prop - which might only be a Marshmallow (Android 6.0) setting, but I'll see if it works in 5.1.1_r20 of SlimLP Beta 0.9 source code
- I'm also going to test building Daniel's updated Bluetooth Package from his Github that allows it to co-exist with Bluedroid Bluetooth, rather then removing it.
- I haven't had any time to look at the Torch QS tile or the keyboard fault in the last two weeks, eventually I'll get onto those.
1 Oct 2015
SlimLP Beta 0.8 - Build #1.5.1 - Build Date 20151001 - Download ROM from this URL
- Modified /system/build.prop Davlik values again based on some more testing. dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m. Previous build 1.5 tends to be laggy when launching multiple apps. You can test Build 1.5 and 1.5.1 and decide which settings give better performance if you like. If you know how to modify build.prop with root access, you don't need to reflash the rom, just set the Build.prop values.
@11:00am - p6810 build also uploaded.
@10:20am - p6800 build uploaded. p6810 build uploading now.
@9:17am - p6800 build compiled. Uploading. Compiling p6810 build now.
@8:00am - I think the new Davlik values are a bit excessive. I think increasing to dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m, instead of dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=100m, provides better responsiveness, but still enough for background apps like facebook (which uses around 60m of ram). For example, with the 64m value, opening a hyperlink from Gmail in Chrome works nicely, but at 100m, it's very laggy. My previous builds had this value set at 48m.
I think these values are better - I'll put a build 1.5.1 up soon, for those who want to try the different values (or you can manually set it yourself in Build.prop if your comfortable).
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=5m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=64m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=320m
dalvik.vm.heapminfree=512k
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=2m
30 Sept 2015
SlimLP Beta 0.8 - Build #1.5 - Build Date 20150930 - Download ROM from this URL
- Updated Device Tree's from Daniel, Mobile Hotspot should be fixed for p6800 users
- GPS fixed
- Modified /system/build.prop Davlik values based on Article about Ram and Davlik settings, seems to be giving better performance, Games like Asphalt 8 seem to be smoother, more Ram seems to be generally available.
@7:14pm - p6800 rom uploaded
@6:34pm - p6800 build completed, uploading now, should be there in 30min
@6:15pm - P6810 Build #1.5 is uploaded. P6800 build still compiling..
@6:10pm - playing with Facebook installed in the background, dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m is more friendly for Facebook (dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=100m is what helps Facebook to run more smoothly as a background process) in that games like Asphalt 8 are still playable with the 256m value, rather than dalvik.vm.heapsize=320m. But dalvik.vm.heapsize=320m / 384m is better for Real Racing 3 on High detail level, medium and low detail are fine with 256m.
@5:30pm - finished p6810 compile, uploading p6810 rom. Compiling p6800 rom now.
@3:35pm - doing a recompile of the p6800/p6810 with the adjusted Davlik VM settings, after which I will upload the rom's
@3:30pm - I finished my Davlik memory testing, I'm going with these values for my Build 1.5, a bit larger for the dalvik.vm.heapsize, as games like Real Racing 3 benefit from the larger value, and probably the Chrome Web browser does as well. The article recommended dalvik.vm.heapsize=174m, which is probably better if you have lots of smaller apps, but I'll optimize for some bigger apps using dalvik.vm.heapsize=320m. The dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=100m seems to have given back more base memory, I can get over 460m of free Ram at times now.
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=8m
dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=100m
dalvik.vm.heapsize=320m
dalvik.vm.heapminfree=512k
dalvik.vm.heapmaxfree=8m
@8:35am - Test Build 1.5 - GPS works - so Non-Pie blob support is working again! Just testing the new Davlik memory settings now.
@8:00am - p6810 build 1.5 test build completed, if it's working ok I'll upload it as Build 1.5, otherwise I'll have to investigate why the Non-Pie support is not working.
29 Sept 2015
- 7:50pm - Starting build 1.5 for p6810 - will test to make sure GPS is working before doing p6800 build.
-I've manually updated the Bionic libraries with the Non-Pie support, as the Bionic libraries in SlimLP Beta 0.8 had more changes to them then just the non-pie support additions from the previous library which Daniel had given me, which was basically the same Bionic Library as SlimLP Beta 0.7 with the Non-Pie additions.
- Found interesting article on Davlik Heap values and ART https://01.org/android-ia/user-guides/android-memory-tuning-android-5.0-and-5.1 - I am going to test build my next one with their recommended settings to see the difference in performance (they say this benefits facebook as well due to the way it uses memory).

- Looks like Daniel pushed another change to danielhk/proprietary_vendor_samsung_smdk4210 for the Hotspot after I did the Build 1.4 yesterday - https://github.com/danielhk?tab=activity - so I think that when I compile Build 1.5, this will hopefully fix the hostpot as well. I
- Build's 1.3 and 1.4 have issues with GPS again. I will have to do a recompile, it seems like the non-pie support was not enabled for GPS in those builds. Builds 1.1 and 1.2 the GPS works fine.
27 Sept 2015
SlimLP Beta 0.8 - Build #1.4 - Build Date 20150927 - Download ROM from this URL
- Updated Device Tree's from Daniel, Ambient Sensor should be fixed
- Mobile Hotspot doesn't seem to be fixed
- GPS has broken (non-pie support) - It has on my p6810 - will have to do a recompile for Non-Pie support that got missed some how
@10:15pm - The compile with CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SEC_DOCK=m or CONFIG_KEYBOARD_SEC_DOCK=n failed due to the fact that this causes other issues with the Kernel code. The code would need some adjustments to make this work for us. Anyway, I'll keep on investigating trying to turn the initial value to on for the Hardware switch in the Language and Input settings error. I checked Daniels omnirom build, and he's not turning on the hardware switch, so he must be specifically enabling the Touch Keyboard in the code even if a hardware keyboard is listed as present (I have seen some old code examples of people doing this, but some of the variables are not present in the SlimLP code - so I can't just copy their examples without finding the rest of the additional code needed).
@10:00pm - I got a reply from a Galaxy Tab 2 developer, he told me how they overcame this same issue, they got the commit included into Cyanogenmod to make the Keyboard Dock driver a module, so for anyone who needs it, the module can be started as an init.d module. I am doing a compile now to see if this fixes the keyboard driver, if so I'll make it build # 1.5...
http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/83499/
espresso10: build KEYBOARD_SEC_DOCK as module Our sec_keyboard driver does not properly unregister the input device when no dock is detected, which makes the system believe that a physical keyboard is present at all times, which prevents the software keyboard from being shown. Some user own a Keyboard-Dock and meight miss the ability to use the dock if it gets disabled completely. Building it as module gives the user the ability to add a simple init.d script to start the module at boot if they need it.

SlimLP Beta 0.8 - Build #1.3 - Build Date 20150926 - Download ROM from this URL
- SlimLP Source code updated to Beta 0.8
- GPS has broken (non-pie support) - It has on my p6810 - will have to do a recompile for Non-Pie support that got missed some how
@3:04pm - p6800 build 1.3 uploaded. P6810 build 1.4 commenced.

@2:30pm - P6800 SlimLP Beta 0.8 build finished, uploading now (build 1.3)
@ 8:00am - P6810 SlimLP Beta 0.8 build finished and uploaded. Building P6800 rom. (My Rom build # 1.3)
- I've just looked at Daniels new Omnirom Change Log for 20150926 build and his new sources (which came out just after I started this new build) fixes the Wifi Hotspot and the Ambient Display issues. Once the first build of Beta 0.8 is compiled, I'll resync my Sources to get his updates and then build 1.4, which will include these fixes.
26 Sept 2015
5:30pm - I've just updated my SlimLP code base to Beta 0.8, and am recompiling my p6810 build. I'll leave it compile tonight and compile a p6800 build after that.
Next week I'll keep on tracking down this Soft Keyboard bug, where it's not initially enabled (I'm only going to try set the initial Toggle value to on - not try and resolve the false positive on the driver believing that there's a keyboard docked).
5:00pm - My testing has confirmed that this code only removes the hardware option (set to false and the hardware option re-appears), it doesn't set the hardware toggle to on. But I might be able to use this bit of code to help me start to find the option. I just need to find where the Default Value of this toggle switch is set, and then adjust the default to be turned on, instead of off.
2:30pm - I just had a chance to test the build, the value of config_forceDisableHardwareKeyboard = true, completely hid the Hardware option from the Input and Settings area, preventing the value from being changed. I am just trying a test build with the value of False, but I don't think this is going to turn on the value.... I'll have to try see if I can find where the Hardware Setting is kept (probably in the same part of the code) and work on some sort of fix.
8:30am - I've made a p6810 test build to see if it fixes the keyboard. I'll test it later today as I have to go out now.
I've set the config_forceDisableHardwareKeyboard to true via an overlay file (which overrides the default value of false - which I believe turns off the fix and makes things behave as if the extra code was not included). From what I understand from my reading, the keyboard issue is present because the default driver is wrongly reporting that a Keyboard dock is present. Which if you plug in a keyboard via usb, you see that it behaves like one is, the softkeyboard just gives you word predictions on screen, but no keyboard. So I think that is right. Changing that Hardware option in input corrects this wrong assumption and then the soft keyboard appears.
25 Sept 2015
10:43pm @ I think i might have found some code to fix the soft keyboard not working at startup issue at https://gerrit.omnirom.org/#/c/903/2
Edit: Looking over Cyanogenmod code, they have already implemented this fix, but SlimLP hasn't added it to their code base, so I have added it to the source code and am doing a compile now. The only thing I think I need to work out is if I need a true / false value for the config_forceDisableHardwareKeyboard parameter, but once I have that worked out, hopefully this should fix it.
24 Sept 2015
SlimLP Beta 0.7 - Build #1.2 - Build Date 20150924 - Download ROM from this URL
- Media DRM fixed for Google Play Movies / Youtube DRM based content (libraries from p3100)
- increased dalvik.vm.heapsize=320m - Hopefully should provide a bit more memory for Facebook / Facebook Messenger
@9:30pm - p6800 build is uploaded
@8:43pm (10:43am GMT)- Compile finished for p6800, uploading now
@7:00pm - Build #1.2 - Compiled p6810 build and am uploading. Compiling p6800 build
@10am - I fixed the Play Movies streaming issue. Using libdrmdecrypt.so from p3100 (https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/cm-12.1/p31xx/common/system/lib) - goes in the /system/lib, also the three libwv*.so files from (https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung/tree/cm-12.1/p31xx/common/system/vendor/lib) in the /system/lib folder, the libdrmwv...so file from (https://github.com/TheMuppets/propr...ee/cm-12.1/p31xx/common/system/vendor/lib/drm) in the /system/lib/drm folder and finally, in /vendor/lib/mediadrm (the vendor folder should really be a link to /system/vendor, not a seperate folder as it currently is in our builds), the libwvdrmengine.so from (https://github.com/TheMuppets/propr...-12.1/p31xx/common/system/vendor/lib/mediadrm).
- Next build if I will try incorporate this fix
23 Sept 2015
- I was having a bit of a play last night with Google Play Movies, as to why it doesn't stream. It seems that Lollipop (as compared to kitkat) requires /vendor/lib/mediadrm/libwvdrmengine.so and possibly a few other components. I have gotten a copy of this file from the exynos 4412 smdk files, but there are a few more components missing (this might not even be compatible with our exynos 4210 but its worth a try). But with this file in place, it no longer gives the device is unsupported message, it tries to start streaming and errors out. I had a quick look in the log and I think it also wanted another crypto .so driver file, so I'll see if I can find that driver as well. There's a large collection of samsung blobs at https://github.com/TheMuppets/proprietary_vendor_samsung
20 Sept 2015
- 1:25pm - 3:25am GMT - I tested GPS on my P6810 (wifi model) and it now works!
- 7:51am - 9:51pm GMT - p6800 build is uploaded.
Daniel has given me some feedback on the i815 and some other things I was wondering about, so I'll go read over his instructions and my code some time next week and see if I can work this out. Once I have it compiling i'll make an update. Thanks @daniel_hk
- 7:24am - 9:24pm GMT - uploading p6800 build. It should be there in the next 20 minutes.
19 Sept 2015 - 11:18pm - I've uploaded the P6810 build of the rom, I'm waiting on the p6800 build to finish compiling - going to sleep now, so that will probably be in the morning. I've had a report from a tester that the Package Installer was crashing on the p6800 build when trying to manually install an APK package. I haven't had this happen on my P6810 build, so if someone can test the new build and let me know if this is an issue still that would be great.
SlimLP Beta 0.7 - Build #1.1 - Build Date 20150919 - Download ROM from this URL
- Rebuilt rom with Bionic Library supplied by Daniel that has Non-Pie Blob / Driver support
- GPS working
- Manually copied RIL Libraries into /system/lib folder from Daniels latest Omnirom Build - Hopefully for the p6800 this should enable RIL / Sim Card support - Files copied from Omnirom build are as follows:
/system/lib/libreference-ril.so
/system/lib/libril.so
/system/lib/librilutils.so
/system/lib/libsecril-client.so
/system/lib/libsecril-client-sap.so
/system/bin/rild
19 Sept 2015 @ 7:14am - Checked my PC this morning and it failed with the same compile error again for the i815. I'll have to keep on looking.
18 Sept 2015 @7:55pm - 9:55am GMT - Clearing out my build folders to try a fresh compile of the i815 code in case some of the p6800/p6810 build code is causing issues. I'll probably post an update tomorrow on how this went. Once I can compile the i815 code properly, I'll start looking at the other issues.
Update: 10:48pm - it may have gotten past the error below now, during the build I noticed the following in the output... still a number of hours to go before the i815 compile finishes.
Code:
build/core/Makefile:46: warning: overriding recipe for target '/home/peter/android/slimlp/out/target/product/i815/system/lib/hw/sensors.exynos4.so'

15 sept 2015 @5:38pm - 7 :38am GMT - p6800 rom uploaded
Around 7hr 15 min for my old e5400 CPU to compile the 21gb of output per device specific folder to build the p6800 rom (there's a common output, and then device specific output). I'm just about to start the i815 build... just moving my cm12.1 code folder off the drive to an external disk so I have enough room to build the i815 rom.
15 Sept 2015 @ 10:52am - 12:52am GMT - I've uploaded the p6810 rom, I'm currently compiling the p6800 rom and when that's done I'll compile an i815 rom
SlimLP Beta 0.7 - Build #1.0 - Build Date 20150915 - Download ROM from this URL
- Built from SlimLP Beta 0.7 Sources
- Bluetooth Fixed
- OpenGL ES values set to 2.0 values in /system/etc/build.prop
- Davlik VM settings adjusted to possible better values
- Compiled from Daniel's Github sources - check the local_manifest.xml to see which sources where used
- GPS and ASOP keyboard bugs still present, QS tile for torch not working.
- Google Play Movies only work if you download locally first then play, not streamed - I have tested this on other Android 5.1.1 roms on my p6810 and it's the same on all of them at the moment.
- GPS.exynos4.so (GPS driver) from Galaxy S2 i9100 / CM 12.1 rom in this build (it may or may not work with our Exynos 4 processor, but it's a PIE build of the GPS blob for Exynos 4, which means that I didn't need to modify the BIONIC libraries for Non-Pie support). I've uploaded the GPS exynos 4 blob to my Androidhost.com folder for Slim as well - Next build I try for my p6810, I'll use Daniel's older GPS blob's and enable non-pie. However with this PIE based GPS blob, I don't get any GPS Client communication errors / socket not open errors. So I might simply need a different gps config file for this to work

Questions and Answers
Testing- Just a note at the moment, I only have a p6810 (wifi only model) so my testing is limited to this. I am compiling p6800 and i815 rom's based on @daniel_hk's github source tree's, doing the modifications that I do for my p6810 to compile. So if you want to test and let me know about p6800 and i815 issues that would be great
i815 - Hopefully in a week or two I'll have time to make a build once I sort out a compile error. Daniel's given me some feedback, I just need to find some time to look over it.
QS Torch - I'll try work out the code for this QS torch tile setting soon
Memory Settings - Interesting article on Davlik Heap values and ART on android 5.0 and 5.1 https://01.org/android-ia/user-guide...id-5.0-and-5.1. Give me some feedback on performance as i still think we can tweak ram a bit more.
No time frames on anything, I'll just do what I can when I can.
Sim card not detected
I tried the new rom on p6800 with no sim card error.
Thanks for reporting back, at least I know that it boots on the p6800. Next build I do for the p6800/p6810 I'll be enabling the Non-PIE blob support which should help with some of the older driver libraries for things like GPS and possibly the RIL library which might fix this error for you as well.
hot spot not working on p6800
dear sir,
I just flash the new 1.1 rom on p6800. Every thing was fine except the hotspot.
My phone can detect the hot spot by p6800, but cannot get connected.
Thank you so much for such a great works.
Wait so is beta 0.7 the newest or alpha 1.1

Beta 0.7 is the slim ROM teams designation of their ROM build status. Alpha 1.1 is just my own designation to say it's my test builds, that being my second build, once I have the bugs sorted I will call it stable.

this issue is also present on daniels CarbonLP for me. either its related or somethings wrong with my p6800 thats duplicated on your p6810.
even tho its stable according to some, i think ill wait for a gps update before trying this out.
its times like these i wish we could have the dual/multi boot functionality.
way better and easier for the community to help test out the new/experimental builds.
especially for people like me whos using the p6xx as a daily driver.
good luck to you sir.
HM i will try it and lett you know how it go on my P6800,the lollipop 5.1.1 from daniel,i dont know what is wrong,when the wi-fi is turned on,i cann not tell you how much the difference in performance is,when i turn it on,it become laggy unbearably,so i will check with this................
Still holding up well after installing some xposed modules
Turning on awesome player seemed to help with YouTube crashing randomly
Also, uploading a picture with fb messenger app crashes everything (need to hold down power button)
Think Daniel's roms didn't have this issue.
I might need to increase the maximum memory amount for apps in the Build.prop,i set it to 256m, the default is 384m, but i dropped that lower as when some apps got to that size the rom's can become sluggish. I have had another app (real racing 3) lock up while trying to upload a game profile. I will play with the values some more. These are set in the build.prop file under /system/etc i have posted about them before in one of the other rom threads. If you are comfortable playing with the settings you could put them back to stock values and see if that fixes things for you and you can let me know. Thanks, Peter

Something to REPORT,i dont know it this just on my tab or not,but,it doesn't matter do i use CyanogenMod 12 or Carbon,or this SlimLP,yesterday wehn i instaled Carbon,after 30min when i installed all my apps,the last one that i installed was Facebook,and when i set it,then it become unbelievably Lagg,and i then installed SlimLP,and didnt installed other apps just Facebook,and this Lagged to,just now it just restarted alone.......................is this just because of FB or what is it,i just cann not take it any more,when i see it,the best android was 4.0.1
Definitely Lollipop rom's are more memory hungry than Kitkat Rom's. I am enquiring with one or two other rom maintainers who say they have implemented some optimizations for devices with 1 Gb Ram, to see what changes they are adding to improve performance. So far the best performing Rom i find is still Slimkat 8.2, Android 4.4.4, but it maybe possible to tweak lollipop for better performance. I have read on the Galaxy s2 forum that Facebook is an app with issues on the s2 CyanogenMod 12.1 rom as well. I will do a bit of testing and hopefully with some input from some others we might be able to fix this, we really need a lollipop rom with low memory overheads. Have you tried Facebook on Daniel's omnirom builds? They are the closest to stock Android, and may work better
Edit: i just installed Facebook on my s2 phone with CyanogenMod 12.1 (Android 5.1.1) and it seems to be ok, just wanted to test it on another 1gb ram device. The s2 has about 20mb more usable ram than our galaxy tab 7.7 due to lower screen resolution. Anyway, we will see what we can do to try improve things, a bit of trial and error,playing around

Always avoided the main app on lollipop roms,after fb the whole system just lags like mad
Fb lite is like a smaller version of the main app,the user interface is absolutely horrible,but hey it works~

I just tested Facebook Messenger with the davlik memory value set at 320m, and it uploaded a photo fine in my test, no crash. So it may be a memory limitation. SlimLP seems to be lighter on Ram, it may even be ok with 384m, but 320m seems to working ok for me. Next build, I'll increase the /system/build.prop Ram value to at least 320m, possibly 384m.

About facebook. ROM have facebook and Messenger installers- it is easiest and shorter way to get correct working x86 version, no need install incorrect ARM versions from GP. If you already install incorrect version then remove facebook updates Settings-apps-facebook-three dots. Then go to app menu launcher and open "f" Facebook icon/Messenger icon- you see facebook or Messenger installer, agree to update. profit, you get correct x86 version. For get update wait that facebook app update yourself
If you have problem in Quick Settings panel even if Settings-Asus customised settings-clear quick settings not help try to do it:
1. Remove data/data/com.android.systemui and data/dalvik-cache/x86/[email protected]@AsusSystemUI
2. Then reboot
On Zenfone Zoom ZX551ML camera working now! Damn, never install this patch on ZE551ML/550ML otherwise lose camera auto focus!
1. Install BORETS ROM
2. INSTALL this patch https://drive.google.com/open?id=121vtcUOv0TOmF-_QmmROfnOh8JFe9C_V
Patch will be universal for present and some future ROM. DO NOT forget install it every time after install BORETS ROM
Do not forget that in Asus Camera settings is option "Set volume keys as". Two variants:
1. Zoom
2. Shutter

Asus Mobile Manager removed but you can install it and will work since 2017/11/16. And remember, that for android no need deny autostart, no need close process. Also Asus Mobile Manager have unless functions. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND NOT USE THIS APP and do not trust sweet words about clear and increase. This app is simple extra processes in your system which drain battery yourself and hinders android work
If you have stock/stock based Marshmallow ROM in this time, you may flash my ROM WITHOUT wipe data

The NTFS format now works for both read and write (SELinux Permissive is required, as before). Unfortunately, now the manufacturer of the memory card and flash drives is not defined via OTG, in third-party file managers and settings the memory card will be as sdcard1, and OTG flash drive as usbcard.
Google sms now does not force closed out the appeared item "Blocked contacts" due to partial porting of one of the APIs with Android 7.1.1

2018/01/27
Compared with the previous version, now the settings are saved, except for the default tunes (they will be reset to default ones). If you decide to make a wipe of the internal memory after installing the firmware, then it must be reinstalled, otherwise the part of the functional will not work /
The performance has been increased to the sink level (the Antutu score is 65000-68000 depending on the governor), but now the application optimization will be as long and the internal memory will decrease by approximately 400 MB, as a stock ROM
After installing the firmware, TWRP will be replaced with the latest 3.2.1
The kernel is patched under Magisk 15.3, that is, if you had it, then when you install the firmware without wipes, the root will remain
???Modified Asus Launcher with Android 8.0, in addition to the usual fashion, returned the ability to separate the grids in the application menu and on the desktop??? I cleared launcher data- grid settings lose from app menu
Switch between 5 and 7 icons in Dockbar on the fly with saving all settings (Asus customize settings-select Asus Launcher, requires root)

YEs, my 31/01 is "pure" kernel therefore you can install magisk, but if install it in my rom you lose part of functions. ..
I don't see why need magisk. I have root and Xposed 86.6 from link from first post which no need magisk and all working fine. I hear that magisk need for Pokemon? But I not like this stupid game,sorry
Can we disable SIM 2 and SIM 1 on the settings? I'm sorry, I forgot how marshmallow is.
Thanks

May you read header of thread one more time? There you can see this word "for ZE551ML/ZE550ML". Rom is universal for both. Z008=ZE550ML, right?
How did you do the "mass storage" mode ?
