Thank you for providing this ROM! Many many thanks!

I did install 1.18 and it is running quite well. After reading all the thread, I was concerned about the BT, but it is working well. I have very, very seldom OpenCamera crashes, but I can live with that.

Should I update to 2.0?

How? Just flash it over the existing rom without any wipe?

I mean:

-download the zip file of SLim6 ver 2.0 to microSD card

-reboot into recovery mode

-flash SLim6 ver 2.0 (over existing ver 1.18)

-no wipe

-reboot

Is this correct? All my data and apps will be there?

Thanks for your help.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad to hear the ROM is working out for you..

You can do a dirty flash, hopefully with no real problems.

- Download slim 2.0

- Boot into recovery

- Wipe dalvik/art cache

- Wipe cache partition

- Flash slim 2.0

With a dirty flash you shouldn't lose any data. There's always a possibility though anytime you flash anything, so make a backup of important things.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] androidtel:
Thank you spookcity138!

after flashing Slim 2.0, I guess I will need to flash GApp and Xposed framework too?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yes,GApps and xposed will not survive a dirty flash. GApps would if I decided to add it to the ROM build, but I'm not going to do that as different people want different apps... And some don't want GApps at all.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Did a dirty flash from 1.18 to 2.0 and Gapps (pico) survived it. They always did. Only Xposed had to be flashed again.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Nice! I didn't think they would. Thanks for posting!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
The problem I had seems to be gone. Not sure if changing some cellular settings fixed it or it was something else.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] turbotorsten:
I discovered a huge problem.

Every single game that works in landscape mode (when you turn the phone) CRASHES.

If you Start apps like Hill Climb Racing they bug around, turn to vertical mode, and then SystemUI crashes. I already changed the DPI and tried it with automatic rotation on. Nothing.

Edit: The UI even crashes when you try to turn the phone in landscape mode in Whatsapp.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,I don't play many games,so I cant respond to that. I've never had a problem with Whatsapp though when rotating the screen. Anyone else?

Edit:

I also use a music app called G-Stomper that forces landscape mode. I've never had a problem with it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
OMG this has vibration on capacitive keys. I thought vibration on touch option was for touch on screen until I tried it today.

So here's question: anyway to tweak how strong the vibration when back or recents button is pressed?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Well, I turn off vibration in settings so I don't have this. If you want to turn it off that's how. If you mean you just wish to control the strength,maybe gravity box xposed module? I'm really not sure if that supports this or not, but it's kinda a nice all in one module. If not I'm sure there is some module or app for this.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
I'm not playing games or use WhatsApp. But never had a crash in landscape mode (for example with this XDA app). Didn't change any settings on version 2.0.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] turbotorsten:
Well, after setting everything up once again, it seems that the bug disappeared.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
The xposed module Vibration Tuner lets you change intensity for the different vibration feedbacks.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Where is it? I can't find it anywhere.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Same here no crash in landscape, but I do get crash when I visit some websites that have a lot of pictures. And by crash I mean freeze and reboot.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I've had this happen once or twice as well. I'm not sure of the reason as of now though. What browser are you using?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Never had that issue. I use Habit browser for the past few month.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Firefox. Never tried if it happens in other browsers. This happens only on one website for me though and pretty consistently may I add.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah, I've only had it happen maybe twice in many months, so it's not a huge deal to me. I use Chrome dev.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Can somebody share default S background used please so I can use it on other devices? Can't find it anywhere online.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
In not fully sure what your asking. Could be I'm just still half asleep though [emoji2]

You want the default wallpaper?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
I'm currently not using slim, but I know that when you go to /data/system/users/0/, there is a file called wallpaper. When you copy that file to your main storage and rename it to wallpaper.jpg, you have access to your current wallpaper!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
I'm messing with some other stuff at the moment and only version I found is low quality that's not sharp. This is the one I need:

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Thanks I'm coming back anyway. How's stability, bugs, and battery in latest version compared to 1.0? Cause I was using 1.0 b4 or as you call it untouched.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] TheJavilin:
is there any important bugs like can't connect to the camera or something like this?? i would like to install that rom

what about battery usage?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Well, I'm kinda bias as I built the ROM [emoji2]

But I think it's far better than v1.0 in many ways. I have no real issues with it at all.

The main bug seems to be the inability to change preferred network type. This isn't a problem for me as it's set to what I want anyway, but for some it's a problem. I have looked into fixing it, but have yet to figure out how.

Automatic brightness also does not work.

Edit:

I find the battery life to be just fine. I've never really measured it if you will, but it lasts like I would expect.

Also, I use Google camera and have no problems with it. I removed the stock camera and gallery and this seems to solve the media server/cam bug.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Is the changed version also free of Google Apps or is anything pre-installed?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] TheJavilin:
i have tried snap camera, google camera and open camera and gives me the error "cant connect to the camera".

all the roms i have tried are the same, but it's quite well and i havent found any bugs about changing networks (lte-3g-2g)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
No Google apps installed. I've added apps that I though would benefit the ROM. I also removed ones I thought were unnecessary. See the main post for details.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
This is strange to me. I, nor anyone I can recall has really had any problems with the camera since I've removed the stock one from the build. I've personally used snap cam HDR, and Google camera with no problems.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Anyway to uninstall pre-installed Nova free?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Sure, any app that allows uninstalling system apps. System app remover from the play store is the first that comes to mind, although there after others.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Works, but still won't let me install full version of launcher.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Well,I use Nova launcher prime and just install over Nova free because Nova prime is just an unlock licence. Therefore you have to have Nova free installed before it will work.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Google play says open after I removed it. I guess it still things it's installed. Maybe the sys app Uninstaller I tried is bad
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Perhaps wipe your dalvik/art cache as well.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
I've experienced this a few times too. The only thing that worked for me was uninstalling it twice in a row using the system app remover. You also need to make sure you gave the app root privileges.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Can you link the one you use because there are many with similar names?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
I used this app!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Have not needed to use this method in a very long time, but this is the app I always used.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/ztc1997.vibrationtuner
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
I used spookcity's version too, but both of the apps are identical with different icons and names so it shouldn't really matter
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
I have some problems with wifi randomly stop working. It shows ! next to icon which means no internet sometimes on random networks. Can you do anything about that? Also cellural symbol is sometimes not showing any signal even though there is signal and I can recieve calls. Probably visual bug.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,I have had the WiFi thing maybe 2 or 3 times in many months. I thought it was my router. It is very infrequently for me,so I don't know how to fix this really. Never had the cell problem.

Honestly,I will probably do 1 more build of this just to update some apps and perhaps use UBERTC on the ROM. Slim 6 is EOL and I don't see them doing much more with it. I will try one last idea that I have to fix the problem with changing default network. While I was planning to add,tweak more things with this ROM (and I still possibly may) I have gotten a good working build of Slim 7 and am really liking it. So chances are good that my focus is going to be on that...and Nougat ROMS in general. Hopefully expect a Slim 7 release over the weekend!

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Updated this ROM,possibly for the last time. I believe I have mostly fixed the 2 biggest problems..automatic brightness and the ability to change preferred network type. I have not tested these features a lot,but they seem to work. Let me know if I'm wrong. Other changes as well. Refer to original post.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] NiEb:
Wow! :)

Your Rom is the best!

GSM only works perfectly...

*Thanks (Danke)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Great to hear! Im glad I finally got that issue sorted.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Great tip, I tried to do this earlier with a similar script, but it just wouldn't work for some reason. Your method almost works, but the second line is one character off. You shouldn't use > since that's for putting things into a file, now you're just passing a file through as an argument for chmod. So for everyone else wondering, this is the correct script:

su

echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness

chmod 444 /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness

Also, I used this Init.d emulator, because Kernel Adiutor's init.d didn't work for me.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Mikahlo:
Great! Thanks for the hint. I'm a noob with this, since it's not needed that much nowadays. Glad the script works now :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Thanks for this (final) update for Slim 6.

Did a dirty flash from the last version with no issues. Changing network does now work, but auto brightness does not (maybe the dirty flash).

Guess Slim is the ROM I used most and I'm gonna stay on 6 for a while...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks for the feedback as always. Its very much appreciate!

I've been meaning to correct the point about fixing auto brightness. I've noticed it still doesn't work as well. I'll update the original post tomorrow to reflect this.

I think I just left out a small bit of rather important code and this is why it doesn't work still. I'm not sure. If I build again I'll try to resolve it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Final build

Another update.I don't want to jinx it,but I believe adaptive display/auto brightness should work now. Also fixed/added WiFi hotspot and tethering. As stated in the main post this will be the last build (EOL) for sure (unless something is broken because of something I did in this build) I have done all I can with this ROM and believe everything works pretty good now. Hope you've enjoyed and will continue to enjoy! On to Nougat!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Thanks a lot for your effort on Slim6! I'm looking forward to what Slim7 will bring!

Thanks spook for this amazing rom.

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] appye:
So I finally got this rom! So far I am liking it, but it has only been a few hours...

So what governor would I want to choose for maximum battery life? How much difference do these things really make? I tried powersave, but that seems to lock to the lowest frequency. DanceDance does not seem to want to apply properly at boot (frequency stuck at 1500 when opening kernel audiator) so I settled for alucard for now. The amount of choices in this area boggle the mind.

The phone is currently rebooting after the xposed install. This is the first time I have messed with xposed. On the Samsung ROM, I have been using an accessibility service called "button mapper" to customize what some of these buttons do, but I figure an "xposed module" will be able to do the same for me? Perhaps someone can point me in the right direction? I like double clicking the volume buttons for flashlight, and activating the voice assistant with a long press of home. Also, I would like to be able to turn off the backlights for the capacitive buttons.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I'm not exactly the person to answer about CPU frequencies probably, but I generally use alucard or zzmoove with profile 2. I am happy with my battery life.

As far as bootloop with xposed. You MUST use the latest version of the framework. I believe it's v87. Versions before this caused a bootloop in any ROMS with a security patch of November or later. There is a script for the backlights a few posts/pages ago.

Edit: I reread your post after waking up some lol. I guess you weren't saying xposed was bootlooping. As far as button mapping and such. Gravity box xposed module does this and many more things including the flashlight buttons.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
Governor? Hearing this the first time!

I use greenify woth xposed. Can i use a governor on top of that?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yes you can change CPU governors. I've added a lot of them to the kernel. These can be changed and tweaked with kernel adiutor. Just tick apply at boot once you're happy with one and you're all set.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
So I did just dirty flash the final update of Slim6. Works great and guess what: auto brightness does now work. Thanks so much for this highly improved Slim ROM, hope that rovo can do his magic once more with Nougat.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] jch7:
Spook, thank you for the work done on this ROM. I appreciated the choices you made for the optimization ... And the information you have given so that each user can make his choice. ;)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] androidtel:
Sunday I finally did find the courage and the time to do the dirty flash to the last version 23.2.2017 EOL from version 1.18.

(Slim6 + GApp + Xposed). Everything went well.

Everything so far works as supposed.

MANY MANY THANKS to spookcity138 for this amazing ROM and for the support he gives in this forum.

Thanks again.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
So, I enable zzmoove, then got to Governor Settings and enter in profile number a "2" to get to profile 2?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yes. Profile 2 is ybat I think. This is what I use as well if I'm using zzmoove
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
So, did you ever find a good choice?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Emergancy call shortcut is still there... Anyway to remove that too?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
I don't think that's possible.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
How do you even find all of these themes for subs? I'm confused by this application...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Are you talking about substratum? If so, the version of masquerade is an older version with this ROM. They have changed things since. I'm currently running nougat.I'm not sure if it's compatible with this version, but if so I highly recommend this.

https://play.google.com/store/apps...ratum&pcampaignid=APPU_1_8qXSWMfWH8OuUfK1hIgN

A lot of themes cost money. This one is free and fantastic!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Nope it says not compatible
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Too bad. I don't have the sources for this ROM any longer and don't plan to build again,sorry. Perhaps try a nougat ROM? I'm on Aosp Extended and really like it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] metronews:
Multi Window

Hi Great work on this ROM, really happy the wifi hotspot works now!

Does multi window work in this Rom? I can see it is an option in development options but I'm not sure you activate it with the Slim app switcher.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I think I understand what you're asking. I'm no longer using this ROM,but I think you're asking about the possibility to use multi window with slim recents? If so I'm honestly not sure. I never figured it out,but it seems as though there must be a way. Sorry I can't help more. Hopefully someone else knows.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] metronews:
That is indeed what I was asking. I have found out by accident that the stock recents is actually still in this ROM. I am able to access it using [alt-tab] with a USB keyboard plugged in. By using the original switcher I am able to invoke multi window mode and it works fine. I am now trying to unpick the alt tab command and see if I can invoke it without a keyboard plugged in.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Very interesting find. I don't use multi window mode often,but I was always a bit confused that slim recents didn't seem to support it. Always seemed odd to me. Keep me updated on your findings with this as I am curious about it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Am I blind or is there no link of xposed you preloaded in changed version of this rom?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm,not fully sure what you mean. Do you mean the material design xposed installer app?

If so,heres the link to that - https://xdaforums.com/xposed/material-design-xposed-installer-t3137758

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Exxonvaldez:
I am still tempted to switch from bliss to slim because my phone got very slow and I want a fresh start. The only thing that keeps me from trying is that someone from this thread asked me about the version of bliss I'm using because he wanted to get rid of Bluetooth stutter. Was that problem solved with the latest update? If not I'm going to stay with bliss 6.4.

Thanks in advance.

I can't answer this as I'm no longer using thus ROM and when I was I didn't really use BT. Hopefully someone else can answer for you.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Those stock applications would they work on preinstalled Samdroid as I call it? (Camera, Clock...)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I'm not fully sure what you're asking here. If you can add some of the apps from the "removed apps" zip to a stock ROM? I'd guess so. They are just apk's. Not positive though.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Doesn't seem like they work. They either crash or fail to install.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
OK, guess I'm wrong. Not the first time lol
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] inejco:
Happens to everyone. I didn't listen your advice and kept using Slim launcher. One day it decided to stopped working and was ****ed until I was able to access PC.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] blcky05:
After some time with your ROM a few things:

1. I have a really really high battery drain by "cell standby". The Exposed-Module fix doesn't change anything..

2. Some random reboots, like two times every day; really annoying. I can't see any reason.

Anyone with the same problems?

Do you think anything went wrong during flashing and a full wipe and reflashing could solve this?

I came from stock and made a clean install with full wipe of course.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I have not used this ROM in some time, but I don't remember having that problem. I definitely didn't have random reboots like that. Maybe a clean install would help. I'm unsure though. Good luck!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Or you could use Slim7, which is based on Android Nougat and has solved a lot of issues.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I must say that this is probably the best solution as I don't support this ROM anymore.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] blcky05:
Thank you for your advise. Is Slim7 already fit for everyday use?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Yeah, definitely!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
If you have any other questions about Slim7, feel free to ask me
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] blcky05:
Yes one more question, not just about Slim7, but in general. Of course, changing my ROM I always do a clean install. But what about restoring apps with e.g. TitaniumBackup? Could that cause any problems? Not just restoring apps with their data, but also restoring things like wifi connections, my contacts storage or messages. Is there any difference between upgrading from an Android 6 based ROM to Android 7 or just changing the ROM based on the same Android?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Well I've never really used TitaniumBackup so I hope someone else will be able to help you
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I have used TB,but its been awhile. Restoring apps and data can cause strange issues. It can't hurt to try though. If you experience strange behavior with some apps, you'll know the reason.

As far as restoring contacts, WiFi data,etc. I'm unsure,but I would think this would work fine. Just a guess though.
