[Nexus 5 Original Android Development] kufikugel:
did you enabled it in developer options? Slim has root disabled by default

I want to say something general I know here are some new slimuser which maybe do not know that much about slim especially due that slim does not force to be in every xda or android police news

Slim started 2 and a half years ago as a one man show by arvind. At this time it was just a slimed down version with some kanged features. His idea behind was to have it slim but still customizable at the same time. This concept some devs really liked and decided to help him. And that was the start of an incredable journey

We setuped a 10 ppl core team at this time with real developer and started to programm some features with the main focus to stay slim and customizable and do not add anything useles.....fast this idea growed and got bigger and bigger. Currently we have a 30 ppl core team a bunch of contributors a big tester pool. We added an own gerrit, an own bugtracker, an own wiki, 3 buildservers which we own, downloadserver website server etc etc etc. And builded a professional developer environment. Compared to a lot other teams we own all this and have full access to it and do not need to depend on whatever services.

That said the user base growed incrediable high. Funny thing is most user we have are not here on xda or wherever forum....mostly business guys. We have a user base comparable to AOKP or PA since long time now all over the world....you know this whole infrastrucutre is paid by donations........and this would be not possible without all this users :) it is an expensive thing. And to get request from phone manufacture we already had or to see code from us in AOSP is as well a big compliment for us and our work

whatever still news (and tbh we do not care that much about it) do not recognize it.....a lot roms do not give credits where they have features from so a lot ppl do not know that a lot which you can see in every rom is developed by the slim team.

Let me just count some well known one

PrivacyGuardManager......SlimTeam did

darkUI/TRDS........SlimTeam

All the features around keyboard beside one.....SlimTeam

Notification shortcuts......SlimTeam

Full hardware key rebinding.....SlimTeam

SlimPIE ;)

Smart Capture....SlimTeam

TrueView....SlimTeam

etc etc....the list will be long when I would write down every single feature

Whatever our main aim is that all the features and things we do are bugfree....UX friendly....cover all cases (easiest thing...rotate the screen on an alert dialog in settings.....in nearly every rom it will close on slim not). Even features we cherry-pick from other go trough a strict review and when I remember right no one till now went trought without a correction. You can follow this now deeper on our open gerrit.

As well a lot ppl ask why is slimroms always that long in alpha...the in a long beta.......this is easy...we do not publish anything marked as stable which is not stable. As long as we expect that things can happe this tags will stay. Funny thing mostly we are the first which can provide then a real stable version.

Whatever what I at least wanted to say.....we are and were never a kanger rom. We always do our own stuff (of course some stuff we borrow like others are doing from us) we do not depend on cm or doing all like cm....we are doing a lot other then they do (thats eg one of the reasons why we say do a real clean install when you come from another rom due that we are doing important things completly other). And we enjoy our journey....we are happy to see that our features are kanged into every rom...that we get requests from cm or omni or manufactures about certain stuff

and what is the most important.....that all user are happy about it.

so wrote damnit much hope it makes a bit sense what I wanted to say.....lol midnight talk for me lmao

last information the new build is up wich works now again with all kernels (and no we would never restrict user to user only our kernel for sure.....we just needed to patch something up to get the compatibility back)

so have fun and cheers
