[Samsung Galaxy Mini] A_U:
WELCOME TO SLIM ROM'S

THE SLIM, JUST GOT SLIMMER

​

These ROM's are under GPL and the kernel is the stock/unmodified kernel obtained from the original ROM.

SLIM SERIES ROM's for Mini are inspired by the famous SLIM-ROM's by tchaari for all the High-end phones like, Nexus, S3 etc.

So I decided to emulate the ROM's for our Mini too.

Some big plus points or Observations according to me, from these highly-compressed and lite ROM's are =

1. Our phone has very less RAM to run ICS or JB in fully optimised manner. So these ROM's slightly fulfil that requirement. As the apps in these ROM's occupy very less RAM of around, 20 to 30 MB only !

2. Due to less RAM consumption, phone tends to be more responsive, smooth and faster !

3. Overall performance increases roughly around, 5 times !

4. If you are a benchmark believer, then AnTuTu scores were also slightly higher compared to the original ROM's

5. These lite ROM's along with any script like Adrenaline Engine, can boost your performance slightly higher.

6. These ROM's can be used as a daily driver, thanks to The Jellaxy Team ! :)

7. Slim ROM's have slightly higher battery backup compared to the original ROM's. For me atleast, i.e; with minimal usage the phone lasts around =

Slim CM7 = 1day 13hours

Slim CM9 = 1day 4hours

Slim CM10 = 1day 1 or 2hours

Slim AOKP = 1day 3 to 4hours

NOTE - I use my mini only for phone calls and listening to music [A lot ! ;) ]

8. So use these ROM's and decide what is best for you. ;)

Thanks for supporting me. :)

9. There's nothing great about these ROM's. BUT, their SIZE speaks for them ! :D

Old Values =

Slim CM7 = 60 Mb

Slim CM9 = 84 Mb

Slim CM10 = 83 Mb

Slim AOKP = 84 Mb

Old Values =

Slim CM7 = 57 Mb

Slim CM9 = 71 Mb

Slim CM10 = 81 Mb

Slim AOKP = 76 Mb

Slim PAC = 77 Mb

Revision Version =

Slim CM7 = 52 Mb

Slim CM9 = 71 Mb

Slim CM10 = 74 Mb

Slim AOKP = 72 Mb

Slim PAC = 77 Mb

Slim PA = 75 Mb

10. Going into details, I simply removed useless apps, fonts, ringtones that bloat our device. Anyway you can simply download their duplicates from Play Store. This will save a lot of space in the system, ultimately improving the performance upto some extent :)

11. I also wish to notify that, in future along with removal of bloatware, there might be significant changes in kernel specifically compiled for these minimal ROM's. I am still learning about Android so no promises, as this is all a pure-hobby, like everyone else's. :)

12. All the rightful credits are in the second post.

13. All the downloads and download instructions are in the third post.

14. I have removed bloatware in to the maximum extent possible, but still if you feel there exists such an app which is useless, inform me, I will remove it :)

15. Finally, I ensure there was no warez used to create these ROM's :)

16. On a side note I removed all the boot-animations to conserve space. ICS & JB have their own in-built boot-splash. While in CM7 there is no such facility, the screen will be blank, so don't worry you did not brick your phone :)
