1. Most ROMS don't support exFAT due to Windows licensing reasons

2. Sensors have to be enabled in CPU-Z settings (but do you really use/need them all?)

3. As stated in the first few posts, root access needs to be enabled in SLIM ROM developer options

And maybe other things? But at the end of the day it's about what YOU prefer or like, if it's currently not the right ROM for you then by all means use what's BEST for you as your daily driver :)

I'm currently on CARBON ROM ported by same OP which is probably my most favorite ROM followed by SLIM, I've been a CM user for many years myself on various devices.

Keep testing and finding what's best for you

Good luck, thanks for trying :)

Hi,

1. I think the exFAT is mandatory (And in this ROM it is only settings, because I've tried F4k Kernel for CM and exFAT doesn't work also)

2. and these sensors use some games and some app also.

3. OK my mistake...

But I hope for better time ;) and thumb up for SlimKat :good:

I flashed yesterday and so far so good.

Biggups to [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] and the others responsible for bringing us this slick ROM :good: :highfive:

Would like to see "active notifications" built in.

Question: Anyone using any cool Xposed Modules/settings/Mods/etc with this ROM, or if you lads could suggest any good ones for me to try out.

Xblast Tools vs Gravity box? Round 1! Fight!

Also... do we only have nova launcher for this build? no google launcher?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kamikaze702k:
No fighting please! Lol.

To be honest both do the exact same thing, I've tried both but what I found with gravity box is most modules where already activated by default so takes longer time going through the options trying to figure out what's what, xblast I found does the same thing in a simpler way nothing is activated until you go into it and activate it, which is better

But try them both, both do pretty much the same things, I guess it's down to personal preference, let's not fight in the OP's thread lol, and as for nova launcher, it's been a default with SLIM for many years...

Have you tried CARBON ROM? That's got Google launcher/ launcher 3

And ACTIVE notifications built in, it's ported by the same OP

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] volksieboi:
Lol... i've given both a shot a while back and actually stuck with gravitybox. potato potarto i guess... was just fishing for opinions. (Apologies to the OP)

I tried CARBON 4.3 but experienced a few bugs and restarts, so its a once bitten twice shy kinda situation.

I'm digging SLIM though, its nice and simple, and seems to be super light :)

Slim vs Carbon? Round 2! Fight?

just kidding... have you tried both? My understanding is that carbon has quite a few extra features compared to slim
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kamikaze702k:
LOL yea bru, I've tried both, love both, always used/preferred both in the past, more towards carbon, never had not one random reboot thou, did a clean install via CWM, wiped/formatted pretty much everything, carbon does offer more features but again it comes to personal preference, love SLIM too thou, it's better for battery life

SLIM is super light, no bloat at all, very basic minimal apps that are needed that's it, which gives the user more space to customize and mod up or just feel a faster device,

I always switch between SLIM and CARBON, have done in the past but was stuck with CM for this device for a long time, I'm so grateful the OP created both ports! Has given a new life to my daily device :)

Enjoy the ROM bru ;)

Thank you very much for porting the SlimKat rom to our device.

Great work and much appreciated.

Question.

Is build 3 the S4mini version of the official stable version of SlimKat?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] TNCS:
Not it isn't. Official Stable release two/three days ago, wait patiently as I'm sure F4k would upload it soon as he finishes.

Use any root explorer or browser and check if you have that file in the location, if not then you need to extract it, possibly from CM11 and create that location, I'm not familiar with the process as I've formatted my exFAT into FAT32 and don't have and mount problems esp not with ROM MANAGER :) I've posted a link above as to how you can also format your exFAT into FAT32, I guess you have two options here, decide what you prefer doing

My way is safer and quicker actually, the only thing that may take some time is copying your current exFAT card data on your computer then transferring it back onto the newly formatted FAT32 card, but the actual process of formatting takes under 60 seconds lol

personally I enjoyed slimroms so much back in the s2 /,jelly bean time. therefore I'm very happy f4k took the challenge to provide us kindly his s4 mini port.

but as I had installed, experienced bad deep sleep times. just about 60% compared to >90% with cm11 and f4k kernel. (cm11 20140203 customized (today tried 20140218 which us much worse than that old nightly)

maybe we can collect some values here for deep sleep times across different usages/apps. screenshots of cpuspy and build in battery overview should provide enough info.

if somebody reaches >90% with 3g constant on, I want to try again my luck with f4k's slimkat.

[MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] thank you so much for the ROM and your great great kernel!!!

Here is a CPU Spy screenshot of my device : all connectivity is always on (4G, Wi-Fi & BT... ), my phone's usage is basic (cellular voice around 2-3 hours per day, no games at all... ).

EDIT : As i said, i'm using smartassV2 CPU governor... that is why my deep sleep mode threshold is around 75% because if i was using interactive one for example, it would be more around 90%...

Thanks olde jar jar. Just teased F4K. By the way, I hate Star Wars. Total crap.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] F4k:
Just want to say one thing to make it clear, that SlimKat build 3 was considered a stable release, doesn't mean that we'll get a stable build too.

S4 Mini it's not supported officialy by Slim ROM devs, I think that stable build it's considered only for devices that they support officialy.

That doesn't mean that my SlimKat port is not stable at all, I think it's pretty stable because we are using a pretty mature devices files (CM) for build SlimKat for our loved S4 Mini.

My schedule release date for ROMs I build:

Friday/Saturday for SlimKat

Saturday/Sunday for Carbon ROM

So please stop asking when there will be an update.

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Rezildans:
Ok, I don't care about your rom & thread anymore. Bye.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] jamus28:
Its sad that more people don't realize that "stable" or "unofficial" are just words tacked onto the zip filename. The code source is the same, but only that no one at slimrom HQ has the s4 mini. The important thing to remember is much of slim or carbons source comes from CM, and with arco behind that, it's bound to be just as good as any "stable".
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] tomogo:
Hi, sorry for OT....

I know you will hate me ;) But original Slimbeam thread is closed.

I found that there is only one stable build of ROMs where everything is running fine like screen mirroring, sensors etc... It is CM10.2.

But I like Slim roms and its fetures.

Is any chance for Slimbeam "based" on latest stable CM10.2???

Failed installation

Hello, I'm coming from BAM-ROM KK RC2, and I tried to install this Slimkat ROM, performing a clean install. I'm using TWRP 2.6.3, I'm not sure if that's important. Thing is, I got an error and the installation failed. Unfortunately, at the time I could not write down exactly what the message was, but it included something like 'unable to update binary' or something like that. Maybe I'll try again today or tomorrow and then I'll have the exact text. Do you guys have any idea of what the problem might be?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Goatshocker:
As far as Im concerned, you could just as well slap "stable" in the name of the current release ;) It is stable, and it would reduce the number of questions regarding a stable release :p

But anyway.... USB Mass Storage...? :(

Oh, and one other thing... ADB always reports the device as offline? It might be my ADB is out of date, but it works fine on my Xperia P with CM11.

Or have I simply missed a setting somewhere(root access is set to 'apps and adb')?

Everything this OP has done ( [MENTION=3261191]F4k[/MENTION] ) and worked hard to give us a brilliant ported ROM, which to me is stable and works perfectly and every thing works on it, there's still some ungrateful people who don't appreciate it! Even this dev has made us a CARBON port which is also "stable" I don't understand some people, if you can't appreciate the hard work of a creator and keep moaning and asking for "stable" versions, then get moody and upset for no reason, your better off on whatever ROM your on,

Sorry, but some people in here getting all moody and nagging for more and more and more yet can't appreciate what's already been given to them, you should be grateful someone has taken their time to make and SHARE a perfectly working bug free ROM with you!

Normally I wouldn't write anything anymore, but this last spike gives me the right to answer. First of all, nobody said that F4k's work isn't appreciated. Nobody said that it sucked. I hadn't even had time to try this one out. And I DIDN'T ASK or GIVE an order for a stable version just like a mama's boy cries out "Momma, get the dinner ready" mood. It's just curiosity man, relax! Stable means the stability on Slim Team's side, that was what I'd meant from the very first time. Even CM 11 doesn't bother to say "I'm stable" yet.

The problem is, that prejudiced and repetitive "stupid noob, get the hell outta here" behaviour. This doesn't work.

The fact is you get grouchy and take it all personally in an offended way after you get your answer which is the consequence of your contemptuous attitude to your followers, in which the case is me. If you think I'm a noob, check out my older entries on other threads. And If I'm a noob, then I'm a noob! Who cares? Everyone was noob once upon a time. That doesn't give you the right to reply in such an uneasy way.

Whatever, keep up the good work, enjoy.

Tried this rom about a week ago and, coming from CM11 nightlies, I’m sufficiently impressed to stick with Slim (thanks F4k). The only niggle I have is occasionally the return soft key has to be pressed twice as it doesn’t react on the first press. The button lights up and vibrates okay but does nothing until pressed again. I’ve noticed this also when long pressing the home button to bring up recent apps, where another long press is required. Interested to see if anyone else is experiencing the same.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Goatshocker:
Yeah I kinda suspected it was a typo, but you never know :)

I made some progress yesterday, and can conclude that something is interfering with the lights. It works fine after a reboot, but after a short while it just... stops working...

Its strange, because I cant think of anything that would interfere, because the only 'system altering' apps I got is xuimod(for bold clock and batterybar) and gravitybox, same ones I use on all my other phones :confused:

I couldnt stand the keys on the S4 mini, so I use the softkeys in android but...

I still have the home button activated (short-press for home, longpress for recent apps) and it have never failed me.

And the short time I used the other 2 buttons I didnt notice anything strange with them, other than the fact they suck and are miss-placed :eek:

Its true that the nav. bar "shrinks" the screen a bit, but I prefer to have the buttons visible, and it also makes them a bit easier to use compared to sliding across the screen.

I quite frequently operate my phone with one hand while its laying on the table, and due to the weight and glossy back - sliding over the screen usually leads to the phone sliding across the table rather than the content on the screen :laugh:
