Changelog:

+ Switched from SlimFileManager to Simple Explorer by ( [MENTION=4464812]DF1E[/MENTION] ) latest version (2.1.1), same small size but updated and with material interface

+ SlimCenter will notify you about new modded builds, settings are under "SlimCenter>SLIMOTA"

+ Latest commits about "-mfpu=neon-vfpv4" instead of generic "-mfpu=neon" for ARMv7-A Cortex CPUs to gain extra performance improvements

* You can find a detailed changelog with all commits here: Click

Recommended kernels:

Mako: Stock Slim (super battery and good performance) - Semaphore (good battery and super performance)

Hammeread: Stock Slim - Code Blue (similar battery and performance)

Additional features (mostly a code merging, so credits go to a lot of people and developers, you can see the author of each github commit):

+ Compiled with sabermod4.8 + Justarchi's O3, but stock Slim kernel

+ Simple Explore instead of Slim File Manager (same small size, material interface, a lot of fixes and updates).

+ Heads up background color, settings are under "Interface>Heads up".

+ "Lockscreen wallpaper" and "See through" features. To enable "See through" go to "Security>See Through", to enable LsW go to "Display>Wallpaper>Lockscreen" and choose your image then apply a blur effect if you want it. Please don't enable both features.

+ Lockscreen notifications, settings are under "Security". Enable and disable "privacy mode" the first time you flash the rom to get it working as expected.

+ Disable heads up in lockscreen, useful if you have already enabled lockscreen notifications; settings are under “Interface > Notifications & QS”.

+ Disable 2tap2sleep on the statusbar, it’s a really nice feature but some users would like to disable it when using a cover and the screen is accidentaly double tapped; settings are under "Interface > Status bar".

+ Network upload and download speed in the statusbar; settings are under "Interface > Status bar".

When it can be useful? E.g.: "Right now I'm uploading the build with my phone to Androidfilehost, and I have Chrome in background while writing on Tapatalk and hangouts. With the upload speeds shown in the status bar I can check if the upload process is still going fine."

+ Advanced download manager (expand the downloads notification and you'll be able to pause/resume or stop them); enabled by default.

+ Floating mode, long press on a notification in the status bar or on an app in the recent panel and select “floating mode” to open the app in a popup window. Note: if you want to set this mode permanently and manage it in a better way, you can install Floatifications from the Play Store (enable “launch app in halo window - supported rom” in its settings).

(PS: the first time you open whatsapp, youtube stops the video, next times it will continue playing).

You could say “wtf do i need this on my small screen?” Well, you are playing “Tnt” by Ac/Dc on Youtube, your wife send you a message “bring the dog pee or no dinner today”, and you want to reply “Sir, yes Sir” without stopping the music: open Whatsapp in floating mode and reply to your wife, Youtube will continue playing in background. Same thing when gaming.

NB: The xposed module for the floating mode is more customizable, the one in the rom is very basic and needs improvements. I hope it will get better in the future because can be useful not only to have youtube playing in background: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=55059453&postcount=322

As usual, if you wipe caches let the phone rebuild them, after using your apps it will be faster.
