First and foremost, thanks for giving SlimLP a try!

Second, as for the Gapps, trying different ones wont brick it, but you will need to do a fresh wipe, install the rom and then gapps, as per the first post instuctions. I recommend that you try this one:

I hope that gets you going, good luck and have fun with SlimLP!

Open gapps is my go to,

Then it's dynamic gapps

But here we have 100s of gapps (well like 5-10 to choose from)

Rome are tricky learn everything you can before the flash (read some issue reports by users and don't forget to post yours (log is best)

I've been around since sidekick 4g /.o I miss the keyboard never had to look at it to type

Loving this rom. Most stable and fast compared to the Dirty unicorn and Pacrom I tried before. If anyone is having problem with GPS , i reccomend the following. Download GPS Status and toolbox and use fastergps to update your gps config file to your region.

Here is a screenshot of the benchmark with this ROM using the linaro 4.7 tool chain. I was hoping to try a few other tool chains to see if it makes a difference. So far the kernel build fails with the linaro 4.9 tool chain.

By the way, you can set the display to 320 DPI to get the most out of your screen, too. It is in the settings menu as LCD density.

For all the Slimroms fans out there, I've got SlimMM in progress. It is currently booting up past the boot logo, but dying during app optimization. Hopefully we will get that worked out soon!

There are a few details to work on, but cellular data, calls, texting, Bluetooth, WiFi, and sound are working. Hopefully I will have complete builds up in the next few days!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Well, I did build a DU 6.0.1 for our T-Mobile, but it is not quite right. I have several other ROMs that I am working on (like SlimMM) so I probably will not get the chance to work on this, but here is what it looks like so far:

Cool work

Currently on you aokp doubt I'll switch for awhile unless a near perfect rom comes out

Also looking for new phones so may actually get a s5 or 7
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
If you are referring to SlimLP: This ROM was made for the T-Mobile S4 (SGH-M919).

Technically, this ROM has been altered and will install on any S4, but I don't know that it will work or not. Sprint phones have an extra radio network frequency that this ROM will not support. So it may install, but likely will not function properly.

If you are referring to the DU 6.0 ROM link above: it will not even flash to your phone, because TWRP will say that your phone is not a JFLTETMO phone.

Hope that helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] cars1106:
Any chance of a dark theme in the future?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Yes and no. :D

What I mean to say is that this ROM does support layers. You can download the layers manager app from the play store, and then download different themes. Here are some screenshots:

Bluesky theme:

But it made the battery menu look funny:

The TRDS theme is discontinued, but still available for download, so I tried it:

But it gave me problems with the settings menu:

So some themes work, some do not. However, I found it impossible to go back to the default.

DO A FULL BACKUP BEFORE TESTING THE LAYER THEMES.

I would also recommend that you turn on each layer checkbox one at a time, so if one doesn't work, you could not choose it next time.

Unfortunately, I am not a themer, but I hope to learn how to do that someday. Hope that helps. If you find a really good theme or settings for one, please share that info here for others. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
New poll is up, I was not sure if anyone knew that this ROM supported layers, like with the layer manager app. So I thought I would ask if anyone was using the layers or not. Be sure to chime in. Also, if you have found a layer that is fully functional, please let us know by posting it here. See my previous posts for warnings about layers, and some screenshots too!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
The best way to use layers successfully with this ROM:

After doing some testing of the layers on SlimLP, I learned a few helpful tips.

1. The PlayStore Layer Manager App is too "new" for SlimLP. The 4.+ version available from the PlayStore will not let you undo the layers, and hense you cannot go back to stock. Use this older version (3.5) instead, which allows you to install, apply, delete, and undo changes:

https://www.mediafire.com/download/q94w8j7xuyhpudz

2. The PlayStore layers themes are often incompatible with version 3.5 of the layer manager app. Don't worry though, there are tons to choose from here on XDA:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=3011075

This Mega thread has tons of them to choose from. If you want these, only download the ones that are zip files for best compatibility. The zips should show up in your download folder, which you can move anywhere and use from the app.

The app has an option to "delete" layers, which actually means "undo" that layer, not actually delete the zip file.

If you still wish to use the PlayStore app and themes, keep in mind that you cannot "undo" your choice of theme. And sometimes themes have an undesired side effect. Two themes from the PlayStore that I have successfully used were BluSky theme, and Elixium theme, both of which worked well, with the exception of the systems -> battery settings chart looked funny.

If you use the themes, I highly recommend doing a TWRP backup first, to make sure that you can always go back!

New build is up!

New build is up and the OP has been updated.

Change log is pretty slim (pun intended):

-Synced with SlimLP source

-Edited the updater-script so that this rom can be flashed on any JFLTE phone. Built specifically for the JFLTETMO, so use with caution.

Nothing new as far as features or apps. Just a few updates under the hood that will not actually affect anything for the end user.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
New build is up!

All,

New update to the OP. New build is up! There is no difference in the ROM, however, there are some changes in the kernel. This is not quite the same kernel used in the PAC ROM and AOKP MM ROMS that I build. This SlimRoms variation is built with Linaro 4.7, while the other two are built with the standard Android tool chains. As such, these two kernels are not interchangeable. I tried, it doesn't work. However, this Linaro built kernel works great for SlimRoms!

The first boot the WiFi may not work, but after a reboot it works every time there after! To God be the glory, the new kernel builds are working great!

Changes to the kernel include 2 new governors:

LionHeart - Lionheart is a conservative-based governor which is based on samsung's update3 source.

SmartMax - By default this is configured for battery saving, so this is NOT a gaming or benchmark governor! Additionally, to make it "snappy", smartmax has "touch poke". So input events from the touchscreen will boost the cpu for a specific time to a specific frequency. Developed by XDA user [MENTION=4683552]maxwen[/MENTION].

You can still choose ondemand, powersave, performance, conservative, interactive, and userspace, but this allows you to choose two "battery friendlier" options. SmartMax will help your battery the most, and LionHeart is a bit more performance oriented, but still conservative. Enjoy!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Been using this ROM for the part few days, and no complaints, at all. It truly is a slim ROM, and man is it buttery smooth. Not a single hiccup, and definitely my daily driver.

I just wish closed worked with lollipop. If anyone knows how to make it work, please tell me how, or if there's another type of xposed app that's compatible with lollipop, would love to know.

Love this ROM, just one little thing that's driving me nuts, and that'd not being able to use YouTube adaway with this android version, because of the lack of closed support.

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:36 AM ----------

How's the GPS lock for this ROM? Quick lock like should be, or should I download a GPS fixer? Ask, because I'm in my room, and no way to test it of right now, because of lack of GPS connectivity.

---------- Post added at 04:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:39 AM ----------

And the default launcher seems to be Google now, without the cards. Amirite?

---------- Post added at 04:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ----------

Edit: sweet, seems to be a custom slim launcher. I'm guessing you used a lot of the google now launcher, and just tweaked it here and there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Love how the LCD density is cooked into the ROM. Set it to 320, and it's so seamless and natural. The more I use this ROM, the more I'm falling in love with this thing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Glad that you like the ROM!

From post #2:

"GPS seems to take an unusually long time to get a fix, even outdoors in the open sky. It does work and stay locked for me, but I thought I would share, in the event others noticed this as well. @<a href="http://xdaforums.com/member.php?u=4562849" target="_blank">redx64</a> has pointed out that you can speed up the GPS by downloading GPS Status and toolbox and use fastergps to update your GPS config file to your region."

Yes, I preferred the 320 myself! Also, there are more useful tips in post #2 if you want to use layers, governors, etc.

All credit for the Slim Launcher though goes to the Slim Team, they have made some really great stuff, I just compiled it here for the S4.

Thanks again for trying this out, and I am glad you like the ROM!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Thanks for replying, and yeah, I'll just download the GPS fixer app. I've had to use it for other ROMs as well, so no big deal. But thanks for compiling this ROM for us, and your worm is very much appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
OK, one thing. How do I make it so when I get a notification, whether it be a text or an e-mail, it shows up on my screen, instead of just making the notification sound, and still being a black screen. I hear the sound, but it doesn't pop up on my screen, and wake it up. It just makes the sound, and that's it.

And also, is there a way where I can access auto brightness straight from the drop down menu instead of having to go through settings? I just experienced that being a little annoying today while in was using the phone outside.

I know I'm being real picky, but just the little things I loved about 4.4.4
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Hi tikay00,

For the brightness, go to settings, interface, quick settings, turn on "show brightness slider". Now you should see the brightness slider in the drop down of the status bar, so you can adjust it by pulling the drop down, and you will not have to go to settings.

I thought the notifications did light up the screen. I will have to check that out.

Edit: yes, I just tried this and it does wake the screen and display the notification, as well as play the sound on mine. There must be a setting that you turned off? I will poke around a bit.

Second edit: also, if you disable auto brightness, you can set the status bar as a brightness slider in settings, interface, status bar, " brightness control", which causes brightness to change by swiping left or right across the status bar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TKBoMo:
Flashed this ROM last night, thus far all the radios and moderns seem to work well which has been a problem I've run into with the last few ROMs I've flashed. Bluetooth stayed connected all night. Thank you for your hard work. All my apps aren't restored yet nor it it fully set up but the one odd issue I've run into was with Gmail force closing the first one or two attempt ls to open the app. This has happened on the first and subsequent boots. No log at the moment, fully clean flash. Any quick thoughts, maybe memory related? Thanks again, new SlimROM fan here.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Thanks for the kind words!

Gapps question: which gapps did you flash? If you did not flash the recommended gapps, I would suggest that first. If you did flash the recommended gapps, did you do a wipe before install?

Another thought, you could clear all data in gmail app settings, perhaps that might help? I typically use Aquamail or Inbox by Google for mail apps, so I don't know for sure if this is a common problem or not.

Hope something in there helps! I am glad you like the ROM, too. A new build will be up tonight or tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TKBoMo:
Full wipe install, I'll try your clear data suggestion. It only seem to happen the first time I open the app after boot. I used Open Gapps for 5.1.1 with aroma. Nice to see a 5.1.1 ROM still being maintained. Seems like the focus shifted to MM and it just doesn't appear ready as a daily for our phone yet, namely bluetooth.

---------- Post added at 10:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:42 AM ----------

I did a complete full wipe, used Open Gapps for 5.1.1 with Aroma. I tried your suggestion about clearing data, thanks, should have thought of that myself. Lol App opened fine after clearing data and didn't force close after boot so hopefully the issue is gone. Nice to see a 5.1.1 ROM still being maintained. MM doesn't seem to be ready yet for our phones as a daily, particularly bluetooth.

New build is up!

I appreciate everyone's patience as I learn how to make things better! I have recently added the commits for the fast charge to the kernel. I also added the Kernel Adiutor app to give you a way to turn it on. Be sure to read Post #2 for tips and tricks about it, and I hope you all enjoy the really cool futuristic backgrounds provided by The Quiet Learner. You can check out more futuristic and cool backgrounds on his website: https://qlfiles.net/

Change log:

20160707

-Added Kernel Adiutor app to build.

-Added Fast Charge to kernel.

-Edited updater-script so zip may be flashed on any JFLTE phone. Built for JFLTETMO though. Use with caution!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
New build is up!

New build is up. No major changes, just a sync with source. It is my goal to sync with source monthly, but it appears that SlimRoms sources are not updating the security patches monthly. We will keep an eye on it and see what happens, but I think they have moved on to Marshmallow. I may try updating the security patches myself if this continues.

Change log:

20160711

-Removed NFCPU in favor of Kernel Aduitor

-Synced with SlimLP source - Note: They do not appear to be updating their security patches, since Feb, 2016.

-Edited updater-script so zip may be flashed on any JFLTE phone. Built for JFLTETMO though. Use with caution!

The new build has no rom changes, but has the new GPU overclocking kernel, which by God's grace is working great!

If you only want the new kernel, rather than downloading the whole rom, check post #3 here:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4-tmobile/development/kernel-marshmallow-lollipop-kernels-t3411543

Remember, you can always "tone down" the GPU for better battery performance by using the Kernel Aduitor app and the GPU settings. Previously, the GPU was limited to 450 MHz, which is now bumped up to 487 MHz! Hopefully that will help up the framerate and smooth out some of the 3D games out there.

Does the GPS for this rom not work? From what I been reading in this post upon the first few pages.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
First off: thanks for looking at SlimLP!

Second:

Yes, the gps does work. It seems to take an unusually long time for the first fix (like 10 minutes) but works great and quicker after that. The first few post mention some ways to speed up that first fix.

I use "GPS test" an app from the play store, which works great.

Hope that answers your questions, let us know if you have any issues!

Hey everybody!

Just wanted to let you know how you can keep up to date with the latest cod being put together for SlimLP:

https://review.slimroms.org/#/q/branch:lp5.1

You can also download the mGerrit app in the Play Store, and choose settings-->preferences-->choose team gerrit instance, and select Slimroms to see what is going on in the Slim world. Hats off to these coders, they are doing some really, really great work!

I am waiting until next month, or the updated security patches before making the next build. Just thought I would keep you posted!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bogdatov:
Does it include f2fs and how to enable it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Yes, it does have f2fs support in the kernel. You can double check by going to your terminal and typing

$ su
# ls /sys/fs

That should say ext4 and f2fs. If it does not, then it may be that it is not in that kernel, perhaps I added it later, but I know the new lollipop kernel I made in the kernel thread does have it for sure. So I would check there first.

-AlaskaLinuxUser https://thealaskalinuxuser.wordpress.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bogdatov:
During ROM installation what do I need to do to use f2fs? Or it will be used by default ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/...-without-losing-internal-storage-data.439999/

Above is a tutorial for the OPO, but the steps are similar.

Essentially, you must go into TWRP, and format each partition as F2FS.

WARNING: THIS WILL WIPE ALL OF YOUR STUFF. MAKE BACKUPS, COPY YOUR BACKUPS TO THE COMPUTER! BE CAREFUL! PROCEED AT YOUR OWN RISK!

I have not tried this, so I would like to hear the results. Please triple check that you have F2FS in that kernel before you start, to make sure it was not a kernel that I did not have it in. Once you do this, you can only flash ROMs/kernels that specifically support F2FS, or you must reformat your phone. This is a limited number of ROMs, just to give you fair warning.

Sync'd source, no change!

All,

I sync'd the SlimLP source. Unfortunately, there was no change. The Slimroms team is doing a lot of great work, but they have shifted their focus to Slim6. There was no change to the source, and no security updates.

I am looking into manually applying the updates, but I am unsure if I can accomplish that task, due to time constraints. Currently, there are 5 months of security updates to apply. It is not as simple as a "patch" that you download and apply.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AlaskaLinuxUser:
Updating security patches by hand....

All,

I am attempting to update the security patches by hand. Thanks for your patience, this is not an easy task. I have decided to only update the Critical security threats. That means I will not update High, Moderate, or Low security threats. I know that is not ideal, however, I do not have time to update all of the security threats.

I am starting by updating from February through March security updates, as the last update was 2/1/2016. This will bring the Critical updates to 3/1/2016. This one month of updates entailed 7 Critical updates totaling over 800 files. Some of these files I can just copy the newer file in it's place, but some of these files have been edited specifically for functions in SlimLP, meaning that I must edit these files by hand. I have finished the editing, and received 4 errors during compiling, so I have made a few edits and now am compiling again as we speak.

I do plan to keep the rom up to date with Critical security patches, but I also wanted to let you know that these are only critical updates, and doing them by hand without someone to check my work does leave openings for "missed" security patches. I do not want to mislead anyone into thinking that this rom is "completely current" on a security level, but that I am trying my best to keep your data safe. I do understand if you move onto a "safer" rom, no hard feelings, but I will continue to update this one as long as people continue to download it, or until the security updates cause functions to fail.

After editing and compiling, I will need to test the build to ensure that no functionality was lost. So please be patient, as this is a time consuming task. If you would like to volunteer for testing, please post here or send me a pm. The more testers the quicker the builds get pushed out to mainstream.

New build is up!

Praise God, after numerous attempts, edits, and compiles, the new build is up!

Note that the Settings --> about phone --> Android security patch level will say

CVE-2016-0815

rather than the date, as it would normally. I put it in this way, so everyone was aware that this build includes the Android Security Bulletin March 2016 updates, but that they were done by me, by hand. Some of the security updates also had to be edited to compile properly. I cannot guarantee the safety of these updates, and I want to re-iterate that I am only updating the Critical security updates. That being said, March had fixes for:

Remote Code Execution Vulnerability in Mediaserver
Remote Code Execution Vulnerabilities in libvpx
Elevation of Privilege in Conscrypt
Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability in the Qualcomm
Performance Component
Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability in MediaTek Wi-Fi Driver
Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability in Keyring Component

Obviously not all apply (like the MediaTek WiFi Driver), but I have done my best to add in those that do. I tested the rom, all functionality *appeared* to still work. Please let me know if there are issues. The 20160721 download link will remain active in the OP if anyone wants to download the last unmodified version. Thanks for your patience, I will continue working on the Critical updates from the months after March.
