I decided to come back to this as well. Been having issues with Google just draining my battery on Dirty Unicorns so I decided to go Gappless. Slim Launcher with the gestures is the best that I can get since I can't get nova prime. Plus, I really misses the Nebula Kernel. aCC was good but it was nothing like this Nebula version. Nebula 12.5 on MM kept crashing the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Gapless? Are you using microG by chance?

I'm experimenting with it right now. So far so good but PA's battery stats page is a bit different. On this first battery run things aren't looking to good. Probably due to not having data at each boot and not realizing it immediately.

Anyhind, I think I'll go back to SlimSaber this week and try a gapless setup on it. Testing so many ROMs I almost forgot about this ROM.

To be honest I still prefer Lollipop. My primary is LP. I'm using PA MM now but PA LP (ran just a couple of days ago) just seemed much better so I always keep it around.

SlimSaber is backed up but I'll think I'll start fresh.

What is MicroG? Yea, no Gapps. I download the apk's for the apps I need. No need to have Google Play Services being on the top of the list as draining my battery. In fact, my phone has been running smoother without it.

My preference is KitKat, but not too many options out there that are not CM based. Most of the links are dead. Carbon Rom 4.4.4 was nice but I can't do without a custom kernel anymore. That's why I like this rom. My only other option might be Broken OS. It has everything I need -- privacy guard, custom kernel, RRO theme engine, and more customizations. Only issue would be with finding a launcher for it. So far the battery life has greatly improved. I was getting a drain of like 5% an hour before.

Hey guys, I've been out of the game for quite some time and just ran with a stock unrooted T-Mobile ROM (I know, yuk!). I just don't have the time to play with ROMs like I once did. Right now my phone is on stock 6.0 Android from T-Mobile. I just rooted it and put TWRP on it. Now I'm looking for a ROM that is Lollipop based and stable with no bugs (or very little). Have I come to the right place? From what I am reading it sounds like this ROM could be the answer I'm looking for. Any major issues that I need to be aware of with this? I do plan on doing a clean wipe of the phone and installing a ROM.

Thanks in advance for any or all of your help.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
You can always test it out. It is a stable rom but there are its bugs that it has. Although using it again now, I have found that it is not as buggy as I remembered. I remember having issues sometimes waking up the device, which is the most annoying bug. Everything else worked fine. Sometimes now the wifi doesn't connect automatically after you turn wifi off and come back and turn it back on. Other than that, it has been pretty good. Just a rare bug or so every once in awhile. Great rom with the Nebula Kernel with it. Really makes the phone run fast
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
[MENTION=7201901]Andrewoidd[/MENTION], thanks. I'll test what gapps I can run without services.

microG Project is an alternative to Google's play & location services. A bit involved to setup though.

I do love me some KitKat. Running Pac-Man KK on phone (multirom). SlimKat and Carbon get regularly restored and "refreshed". When running those I too long for a custom kernel.

I have archived as much as possible over the past couple of years. So the last versions of almost every KK & LP ROM for the D851, including stock and kernels/utils, are at your disposal.

BrokenOS MM was on my phone since it came out and surprisingly dirty-flashed well from build to build. Sadly, had to make room to test/play with other ROMs. A few builds behind now. ? Might have to start over.

Hmm, finding a launcher with gestures and other usable features that isn't premium or ad-ridden won't be too easy. I'll keep an eye out.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
Do they have custom kernels for the KK roms. Just downloaded BrokenOS to test it out. SlimSabre seems to have beat out both Broken and DU with the Antutu score. Only thing I haven't tested out yet is Xposed. Xposed didn't work for me with SlimSabre which made me sad. Dirty Unicorns is still the best MM rom I have tried. Will give BrokenOS a few days and then decide what to do. The gestures thing is great to have and slimpie is much better than the brokenpie that BrokenOS has. I am on a search for a launcher with gestures but the results aren't too pretty. I got a bit too addicted to nova prime. I can't even function without double tap for settings and swipe down for app drawer.

Edit: I am back with SlimSabre. BrokenOS was a bit too laggy for my taste and I can't do without the gestures. Atom Launcher has gestures but I don't trust it with the bloatware it downloads with it. Plus Nebula kernel on this rom is better than what BrokenOS had. Unless I find a gestures based launcher it looks like I'm going to be with this ROM for awhile
[T-Mobile LG G3] drizze99:
Looks like I'll be taking the dive and installing this ROM today once my phone charges. Is it safe to assume that development for this ROM has ended?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
Most likely. It has been almost a year now since the last update.
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
I restored my SlimSaber (from March) to see how I had it setup. Quite lean. Some core apps, DarkMTRL Google apps, and Nokia Z Launcher. No Xposed.

DarkMTRL Layers theme (not updated since last year as the dev dislikes Layers).

Nebula was using zzmoove, profile 2. Realized both internal & external hotplugs were off. So mostly one core in use, others kicking in only when necessary. Oversight on my part but ROM felt snappier before I turned on hotplugging.

But I was wondering about theming. Layers is deprecated, Substratum will not run on LP.

I assume that some of my themes which have been Substratum-ized won't work with Layers?

If that _is_ the case I reckon I better grab up some themes that haven't been updated and back them up. For those times when I want to restore or play with RRO LP ROMs.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
Xposed was a bust when I tried it in the past as well. Haven't tried again. Nebula is running on HYPER for me, multicore power savings off so all of my cores are running most of the time. I like the performance and battery life is not bad at all. I just wish the modded KA would successfully install on this. It keeps failing for some reason. ZZMoove has been off and on with me when I tried it with aCC as the default settings. I ended up switching settings after awhile

[Deprecated] Layers Manager worked for me. I installed it, then installed the Material Glass theme APK and applied it and it worked fine. Given I don't know what the heck I was doing, but I ended up with the look I desired. Can't go wrong with a transparent theme. The status bar items are wack with it though and I can't get it back to the way it was unfortunately. Not the the status bar items if you pull down, but like the status bar items that are always at the top (WI-FI, signal, etc). I don't mind since I just have expanded desktop always enabled; no status bar, no navigation bar -- I use slimpie since the navigation bar would be too big on 1080p. I would think that any of the themes will work. Given Material Glass worked and that was a theme for the CMTE
[T-Mobile LG G3] drizze99:
So far I absolutely love this ROM. I can't believe how "cool" my phone runs! On the stock T-Mobile ROM, my phone would get scorching hot and thats no exaggeration. My phone would reboot itself because of the heat. Gaming on this phone was miserable because of the heat issue. Lag in games was crazy bad. This ROM is fast and smooth. I haven't really tweaked anything because right now I'm just so happy my phone works so much better. I haven't really had any bugs or problems with it at all so far (knock on wood). Very happy with my decision!
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Finally got around to doing a clean fresh setup. Even after a lot of setting up, reboots, restores, installs, and app testing the ROM stayed cool and snappy. 4.5 hours SOT at 15% left on first battery cycle is not bad. Kernel not yet configured.

Quite bummed about Xposed though. The ROM doesn't necessarily need it but some apps, social networking mostly, is where modules come in handy.

ROM has a few extra features I didn't notice months ago. Also seems to be more slim actions available (for gestures and navbar) than in some current MM Slims, like LiquidDark.

One thing that's bumming me out is not being able to get weather working in cLock or lockscreen. Location services are working fine and GPS Status & Toolbox show working GPS.

I have this thing where on Slim-based ROMs I always use Thyrus' DarkMTRL Google apps. Wasn't sure the latest ARM package was gonna work but they all work just fine. Even installed his Nexus Launcher and Wallpaper picker. The latter works, haven't tried the launcher yet.

Now it's time to test some themes and icons. Slim Launcher has never been good at applying icons. In some versions everything in the app drawer will get themed but not all on the home screen. Removing those and re-adding from the drawer works.

EDIT: Kernel Adiutor-Mod v15 installed and runs just fine.

Holy crap -- 4.5 hours? I got an hour and am at 73%, although I can't compare since most of the drain is because of standby. Haven't used it since the last charge 2 nights ago. Still, 45 hours since I unplugged it and am at 73% isn't bad. Are you running with or without gapps?

And yes, the icons were useless when I tried to apply them, but the theme worked like a charm. I have Material Glass, which I always have used and I love it. So much better than the ugly default white that comes with it. Too bad this rom doesn't have night mode. I have noticed how this rom also had way more features for Slimpie than other roms. BrokenOS only allowed for like 5 buttons, and all of which were preset. It was pretty much useless to have it.
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
[MENTION=7201901]Andrewoidd[/MENTION], lol. Is 4.5 hours bad? Heh heh. I won't really be able to tell until I start using it normally (no more setting up, configuring, and rebooting).

Yeah, I'm using gapps. I might do a separate no-gapps installation for testing but I'll have to get some info from you when I do.

Surprisingly all icons applied perfectly in one shot (Immaterialism). Guess I had bad luck on other Slim installations or something.

Installed but haven't tried Material Glass yet. Got the matching icons too, just because.

Regarding pies, haven't used a good one since Fusion ROM. I wasn't too happy with Broken's pie either. It frustrated me. I'll give this Slimpie a try soon.

Have you ever been a fan of the circle app bar included in some ROMs? It hasn't been totally reliable on some ROMs. I finally came across one at the Play Store. Circle Sidebar. So far it's working nicely. Just something for fun.

Oh, don't know if you're aware that Slim Launcher was made available on XDA awhile back when Lollipop was the current Android. Some have reported it works well on some MM ROMs. Never got around to testing it myself.

I assume things like gestures won't be as useful unless a ROM has Slim Actions or something equivalent.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
4.5 hours is good. I am happy how without Google my battery life has greatly increased in standby time. Almost 60 hours now since I unplugged it and I am at 64%. I'm going to let it go down to 15% to see how many days I can live off it. This SlimPie is great. I have it enabled once I slide from the bottom to make it feel like a navigation bar since I don't use a navigation bar with 1080p.

I used to use the circle bar app on other roms that had it, but once I got nova prime on Dirty Unicorns, I really didn't find a use for it. I could either just use a gesture to search for an app or just swiped down for the app drawer. I kinda do wish it were on this rom but it is fine. Would the Slim Launcher have gestures like "Swipe up on right side to text Bob", etc? That is what I use them for. Direct text, app drawer, double tap for settings, etc.
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
I'm going to flash a test ROM (not sure which one) and install the standalone Slim Launcher. Check to see how complete it is.

Stay tuned...

If it works, I will possibly try the official PAC build from the site. Although this rom has been nice to me on battery life. 66 hours so far and am 56%. I'm on the roll haha
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Forgot to mention. I did try out that PAC for a minute this week. Just to have a look at what PAC extras were included.

Mobile data didn't work (without toggling airplane mode) but that's been happening on half a dozen ROMs this past month.

Kind of confused. There's a July 2 build, full size. A July 3 build also that's only about 9MB. Not sure if they know they have a broken build up. ?

[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
[MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION] I hope it has more features than the test build back from like February. That build had no features pretty much. That one lasted me like 10 minutes due to the fact that swiping with the keyboard didn't work, and I was stupid back then and didn't know about alternative keyboards or else I would've just gotten Google Keyboard. I didn't even notice that. I just saw the dates and noticed how it hasn't been updated in awhile. The alpha worries me thinking it will end up just like the prior PAC builds that this phone had
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
If I read the PAC G+ post correctly it looks like PAC MM is frozen. The devs are aiming at Android N.

I think features can still be requested but I bet that's maintainer dependent. Bummer.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
I had a feeling that was the case since the last build was alpha and over a month back. I'll just stick with this rom. I don't want to leave this kernel. The Nebula kernel 12.5 was not as great and didn't have as many options as the one installed with this one (9.1 or something). Plus battery life has been good to me. 72 hours since unplugging and am at 54%
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
Past couple of days I got off work after 3am so couldn't test much.

Installed Slim Launcher on Resurrection Remix. Launcher worked fine, gestures are there but actions are limited to apps and activities. Since Slim Actions aren't available some goodies are missed.

Was going to try ParanoidAndroid but like a dummy I flashed SuperSU 2.52. I forgot the ROM will not boot with that (or 2.76 in system mode). Gotta be system-less or nothing. I really dislike system-less SU.

So I flashed Validus. Validus comes with Nova and Slim Launcher. But same as RR gestures can't be used to their fullest without Slim Actions or equivalent.

Under Lollipop there were a few ROMs, not Slim-based, that included Slim Actions. Not sure which, if any, MM ROMs have that.

Will be testing more later.

Too bad the last SlimLP we had to try wasn't up to snuff.

[T-Mobile LG G3] Andrewoidd:
They have a marshmallow alpha build for slim but I don't think it was that stable whatsoever. Hasn't been updated in awhile and people were reporting issues with data, wifi, and Bluetooth. I have never even tried Bluetooth on this ROM to know if it worked or not.

For the gestures, was there options for direct message someone?
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
[MENTION=7201901]Andrewoidd[/MENTION], yep, just tested Bluetooth. It found my speaker. Music played through it okay.

Gestures. Yes the direct message works. Never tried it before so I gave it a go.

Selected swipe up on right gesture, selected custom, then chose direct message shown in shot below. List of contacts shows up. Chose a friend.

Back at the home screen I swiped up on the right side and Messenger immediately popped up ready to send a msg to that person.

Have you ever used Nokia Z Launcher? That's what I used previously on SlimSaber and use now also. It's gesture/scribble-based. Makes for a fairly quick way to msg someone as the contact will appear as you scribble part of the name on the screen.

On another note. I flashed six or so ROMs this morning looking for one with actions that Slim Launcher can use. BeanStalk (yay, finally for the D851), Temasek, RR, Vanir, AOSP-CAF, Validus, and BrokenOS.

Only BeanStalk offers Slim Shortcuts. Not as many goodies as Slim Actions but it does include Screen Lock. Perfect for double tap.

Still have to test Tesla and Tipsy. One of those is Slim-based I believe.

Just having fun on my day off.

[MENTION=6046143]marcdw[/MENTION] So far it seems alright. It might be a good option if I change roms. I might need to look into multi-rom. Never really looked into since it looked too confusing for me. I might consider it after my exams.

FYI Guys. This rom does have RRO Layers support! You'll need to download the RRO Layer app from the Google Store. Also [MENTION=2805474]Apache0c[/MENTION] found out you need to install SuperSU to get the RRO layers app working great! have fun guys!

Alright, I'm running your 0.8 ROM for the time being. Tried to do a dirty flash over it just for giggles, but of course that didn't work as well.

I did notice one thing on your ROM however - tap2wake seems to work, even if it's in my pocket. On LG's stock ROM, it'd utilize the proximity sensor to see if it was actually in pocket or not. That's something to consider for future builds, perhaps.
[T-Mobile LG G3] holmes901:
Just asking the super user function is not in this room correct?
[T-Mobile LG G3] Apache0c:
It is. But you should still install SuperSU. There are a few things like the layers themes that need it to work correctly.

Ive been trying to narrow down my boot loop issue on my new builds. :(
[T-Mobile LG G3] KingKongDHK:
Just wanted to say i flashed this last night, initial boot took almost 15 SOLID minutes to get to the homescreen. but once I was up and running this ROM was actually pretty nice.

So I just wanted to point out there's a chance some poeple might not be in a bootloop cause apparently this ROM may take a really long time for its initial boot.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Malezar:
FWIW I had Slim on my Samsung S3 and initial installs could take that long.
[T-Mobile LG G3] dealmaster00:
Clean flashed SlimLP v0.8 (tried dirty flash from BlissPop but was stuck at splash screen for 1hr), working really well here so far. Seems like battery life is better than BlissPop. Temps are about the same as my last BlissPop build: ~40c idle, up to ~70c using GPU (eg playing Hearthstone).

Couple issues I've encountered so far:

-GPS is not very accurate/responsive. I have High Accuracy mode on. Takes like 20-30 seconds to update while I'm walking and has a pretty big "uncertainty" radius, like half a block or so.

-Settings > Navigation > Navigation Bar > Buttons > (click anything here) causes error message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped."
[T-Mobile LG G3] :
Ive had to start over with the ROM. Something broke the build and I couldnt figure it out. Give me a couple days and I'll get things back up and running.
[T-Mobile LG G3] Apache0c:
Its funny how everyone has different issues. I've done a couple clean installs and it's the fastest install I've ever seen on anything. Literally twice as fast at least. I think it took less than 5 minutes and GPS is incredibly fast and accurate.

I'm using Open Gapps Pico. That might have something to do with it. It always runs better until I start adding stuff. Trying to nail down only what I need so I can do another clean install.

Still have never got voice recognition working though. I've tried the Google keyboard. What am I missing?
[T-Mobile LG G3] marcdw:
:eek:

That part was really brave and quite funny.

Flashing a Slim-based on top of a CM-based ROM is not something you see often, or at all really.

:)

On another note, the DPI is set to 480. That's cool but I noticed an oddity. When i was in the Play Store and clicked on some app reviews the reviews came up in what looked like a borderless window. Later when I have was in the app TinyCore its contents displayed narrowly. Switched DPI to 560 and all was normal.

I used Slim Zero gapps, BTW.

One more. I miss not having network activity in the status bar. Anyone know of a non-Xposed utility that's similar. Checked the Play Store and didn't like the offerings.

It's rare that I don't have Xposed on a ROM but sometimes there's no choice.

[T-Mobile LG G3] holmes901:
Noticed the same oddities as well with 480 DPI actually kinda like the window in the play store lol. But it does effect some of the google apps music being one. Pushes the like button in the player right next to the dislike button. Sure that all will be ironed out in next release for sure.

I have noticed that (for me) not using a SU app and just the one built in has worked out very well. I know that eventually I will need to download superSU from the play store but for the minimal root apps that I use I am good to go. Seems snappier to me as well not installing superSu (again personal opinion).
[T-Mobile LG G3] dealmaster00:
Yeah I was hoping the dirty flash would overwrite all relevant files but it didnt work out ;)

Yes I forgot to mention the DPI issue as well! I switched it to 520 a while back and things looked better. I'm at 560 now. The actual DPI of the G3 is ~540.

Anyone else see the GPS/settings issue I mentioned?
