All of the sources can be publicly viewed through GitHub and you can stop by the public Gerrit to submit patches of any type.

INSTALLATION

LP enabled custom recovery : regular / Philz CWM or TWRP...

My SlimKAT ROM file...

-> If you are coming from stock ROM please do a full wipe (cache/dalvik/system/data) from recovery before flashing it AFTER having done a FULL NANDROID BACKUP, thank you !

-> If you are coming from another AOSP ROM, you can flash it AFTER having wiped cache/dalvik...

BIG RED WARNING : i am not too familiar with LP custom ROMs flashing yet ! Please double check proper procedure before doing so ! Thanks !

OPTIONAL

: you can use any AOSP GAPPs if you want to have Google Play services...

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 over here ! ;)

TWRP Recovery

SlimLP ROM : already reported as working !

=> TRYOUT version : <=

PLEASE PERFORM A FULL NANDROID BACKUP BEFORE RECOVERY FLASHING FILES BELOW

-> RC3 : ALPHA v0.4 with @JustArchi build optimizations applied...

SlimLP for GT-I9190 RC3 ALPHA v0.4 (2015-06-17) <= @JustArchi optimized ! [Linaro]

SlimLP for GT-I9192 RC3 ALPHA v0.4 (2015-06-18) <= @JustArchi optimized ! [Linaro] (needs feedback but it seems that this one is not booting...)

SlimLP for GT-I9195 RC3 ALPHA v0.4 (2015-06-17) <= @JustArchi optimized ! [Linaro]

=> INFO :

as i do not own a S4 mini anymore each upcoming update for both devices will be UNTESTED by myself...

-> In SlimKAT root access had to be activated like this : navigate 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 1 : CURRENT ROM FILES ARE ALSO AVAILABLE FROM THE DOWNLOADS TAB OF THIS PROJECT (at the top of this post) !

INFO 2 : you will find screenshots of this running ROM file from the corresponding tab of this project too...

Happy flashing !​
