​

SlimROMs 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 SlimROMs team 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 you can stop by the public Gerrit to submit patches of any type.

SlimKAT is the project name for SlimROMs based on Android 4.4 and offers the following unique SlimROMs features :

FEATURES

::

-> The real dark Slim : Invert the whole ROM including Gapps with one click.

-> Slim Recents : A complete replacement of the AOSP recents screen to allow better multitasking, along with marking favourite apps.

-> SlimPIE : Based on CM's PIE, inspired by PA's PIE with a light touch of Slim. A true community feature.

INSTALLATION

: to install this ROM on your Transformer you'll need this checklist to be all checked ;)

latest ASUS bootloader (10.6.1.27.5) [TF300T] : if it's not the case IT WILL BE MANDATORY for you to upgrade your bootloader by flashing the latest ASUS firmware to your device...

unlocked bootloader : by using dedicated ASUS software...

KK enabled custom recovery : regular / PhilZ CWM or TWRP (my preference goes to this last one...); You'll find a download link below for my TWRP builds... :D

my SlimKAT ROM file :good:

TO TF201 users : you MUST UPGRADE your bootloader to the

latest HairyBean

one (please see details over HERE... => CREDITS GO TO AND ONLY TO

androwook team

for this ! :good:

OPTIONAL

: any AOSP GAPPs if you want to have Google Play services (i'm using PA-GAPPs micro-modular package by @TKruzze for example ;))

NOTE : SlimKAT is a KK 4.4+ ROM so if you want to activate ART instead of dalvik, simply go to 'settings/developer options' and select ART as runtime :good: BUT please do remember that ART is still under heavy development...

DOWNLOADS

:

=> This ROM is DEODEXED : if you want to ODEX it (better battery life and better system wide responsiveness), then i do recommend that you use @MatrixDJ96 ODEXER tool available HERE ;)

TWRP Recovery

=> You will find my TWRP page over HERE... ;)

SlimKAT ROM

-> SlimKAT RC2 for TF300T/TF201 Build 9.0 (2015-01-23) <= UNTESTED BY MYSELF ! Anyway feel free to report any bug back in this thread...

-> TRYOUTS : none for the moment...

-> In SlimKAT root access needs to be activated like this : go to 'settings/developer options' and disable it, then go to 'settings/advanced settings/superuser' and set root access to 'apps/adb' (this will re-enable 'developer options' AND you will gain root access)

INFO : ALL DOWNLOADS ARE NOW ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THE DOWNLOADS TAB OF THIS PROJECT (at the top of this post) ;)

Happy flashing :D
