Hmm, I would think so yes, but I'm not fully sure where it would be located off hand. I could be wrong as well. Either way, I assume the wallpapers must be in the sources so I can grab it and send it to you. It wouldn't be until late tomorrow at the earliest though as I won't have access to my PC until then.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah, I looked into this a bit as well. Sadly it doesn't seen as simple as that. Glad you sorted out the backlight though.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Did you do that with the app or your script? If the script did it could you give some keywords or a short description how you did that. I know nothing about using scripts but am willing to learn.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Mikahlo:
Kalimera!

This should do it: https://github.com/SlimRoms/packages_apps_SlimWallpapers/tree/ng7.0/wallpapers

First I did this manually, opened the file in /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness, placed a 0 in there and made it unwritable (444). So this task can be automated like: echo "0" > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness and chmod 444 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/brightness. The problem is that I can' t get the necessary root privileges to automate the process. I tried to gain them with busybox su but couldn' t figure out how that works on android. So I put that script in the init.d folder and executed it through kernel adiutor mod cause this app gains root :)

Maybe there is some serious power management involved^^

Adiós
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Thanks for the link. Unfortunately the one we have on our device is not there. Hopefully spookcity can extract it somehow.

And thanks for the way to use your script. Gonna try that some time.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
First,thanks for posting that. I'm sure it will be helpful to some. I was thinking about the home button wake issue a little more and realized that in slim7 the home button does not wake the device. I will look into this some and see if I can tell whats happening. Maybe its as simple as replacing some files from slim7 to slim6.

Any news about the update?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Yeah, slim finally released updated sources for slim 6 yesterday. I will try to get a build going tomorrow or Monday.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Clean flashed the latest Slim 1.17 a week ago. This really is a good step foreward compared to 1.10.

Now there are many pretty things in it. A brillant custom kernel, Kernel Adiutor, Xposed Installer, Substratum, MiXplorer, Nova Laucher...

and the apps that were removed (good idea) are still available in a zip-file. All of this makes me a happy customer...I mean custom ROM flasher.

The Slim dark theme is very good and I only needed the default dark theme app to make SMS dark as well. Used Substratum the first time and it is great.

I had two reboots on two different days about 15 seconds after entering the PIN. The toggles for quick settings still drive me crazy because whatever you do in the settings

the result is different. I use only two rows now and was lucky that somehow I could position them like I want it. Everything else is working fine for me.

Using this ROM really feels good and I like it more and more. Big THANKS to spookcity for all of his effort.

I cannot change the preferred mobile connection type.

Whatever I select, it will always switch back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
This is a known issue. No fix for now sorry.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] NiEb:
Very sad,

for the rest perfect rom for me. :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
Thank you for this great rom! And thanks for updating regularly. Most other roms are not updated any more.

Well well, my phone comitted suicide last night. At least the efs partition which seems empty and my phone is blocked inairplane mode saying it has no SIM :(

And no IMEI...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Oh my,do you have a backup of your efs partition? Otherwise it does seem like a big problem I'm sorry to say.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Sunn76:
I have a backup online on Gdrive.

I post the link as soon as I get home

Edit

Found it [emoji4]

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Will another's efs partition work on a different phone? I was always under the impression that it wouldn't due to unique imei numbers.

Edit:

On a side note, I built slim 1.18 and am running it now. I was going to upload it in a few, but have realized I didn't set the build up properly to build masquerade [emoji19]

I will see if I can just do a quick rebuild and have it include masquerade.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Sunn76:
It worked in the past. I could help some people with that backup on the German Forum I am with.

But there they did not lost imei. So I am not sure.

But definitely worth a try ?

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Sweet! I didn't know that. That's the first thing I do when I get a phone.. Backup my efs partition. Either way, hope it works and thanks for the help!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Kianouch:
Thank you very much !

However by wiping all system and user data then re-flashing, it seems that everythijng is working fine... which is weird. I guess it was never really lost.

I did not know what this artition was for. I now know, and will backup it straight away !

I almost bought a Galaxy S7 - but I prefer to keep my money in my wallet, I'd like the SM-G800F to last one more year :)

I'm now at the Titanium restore state ^^

Or maybe... perhaps I should give a try at Android 7.x ?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
Unfortunately, most new phones like S7 are too big. I hate they don't offer mini versions any more. Only Sony does.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I tend to agree with this. Although, my girlfriend has an S7 that I mess with from time to time and I will say that I kind of got use to the size and don't mind it anymore. Although, I would still prefer it to be a bit smaller.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
I'd consider a phone at around 5 inches to be the perfect size. It can be a bit smaller (like the S5 mini), but I think that 6-inch phones like the new C9 Pro are just absolutely ridiculous. That thing doesn't even fit into your pocket, does it?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Kianouch:
I agree with both of you but nonetheless it'll have to do.

Well - my restoration from Titanium ended in a bootloop, I may have to restore less system stuff ;)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Sorry guys,I was trying to update this. Spent far too long playing around and editing the original post only to go to save and have XDA throw me an error. I'll try again tomorrow if XDA decides to play nice.grr

Edit:

And to anyone who may try to download v1.17 from the main post, it won't work as I deleted it from AFH as I was assuming to upload the new version. Sorry about that. Tomorrow's a new day [emoji1]
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
So what about the new A3 (2017)? That seems to be the perfect replacement since they don't call them mini anymore, but that is an S7 mini in old language.

And from what they write it is waterproof and the display is bigger than ours but not too big (4.7).

For the A3 (2016) there are no interesting Roms, which I think is kind of strange.

I really want a device with good coustom Roms and don't forget the amazing support we get here. The S5 mini is still a good device and I intend to use it for more than another year.

But after that the A3 (2017) will be a little cheaper and may have some Roms...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I'm not real familiar with a lot of the newer phones honestly. I will probably look more into them in the near future when I upgrade. I believe I'm due for an upgrade soon actually. I will say that the A3 (2017) sounds really nice from a little reading I just did about it.

I'm not sure what I'm going to go for. For me, it's about size, not too big, not too small and quality obviously, but also about support as I can build ROMS and play around with an already existing device tree, but creating one from scratch is out of my league right now... And will be until I'm a lot better at CPP and Java.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
I don't think building ROMs for newer Samsung devices like the S7 and A3 (2016/2017) is possible, since Samsung doesn't release the sources anymore. That's what's going on as far as I know (but I might be wrong).

I'd consider the OnePlus 3T a great alternative for a good price and great ROM support, but for me it's just too big. Maybe they'll bring out a smaller variant this year, but 5.5 inches really isn't an option for me. Do you know good alternatives?

Can't you just post the download link in the comments here and update the main thread later? (sorry for my impatience, I'm just very curious about the update)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Mikahlo:
Just have a look at his androidfilehost folder, it's right there :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Oh yeah, of course! Thanks!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Indeed it is. That's why I didn't post it in the comments. I knew someone would see it [emoji1]

I'll update the main post with the changes and fixed link when I'm able.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Here on XDA they have AICP and AOKP already for the S7. Both AOSP-based if I remember correctly.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Yeah that's true but that's only for the exynos variant and I only looked at the SnapDragon forums
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Interesting, I really have no idea either way. I'm learning things by listening to you guys. This is something I'll def be looking more into when the time comes for me to get a new phone.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
I could be wrong but exynos is for international market and snapdragon only for USA.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] :
Yes it is, so that means that Samsung only released the sources for the Exynos variant
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
(Officially) Updated to v1.18! See main post for details.

Enjoy!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Sunn76:
Well done,

I will give it a try this evening.

Did I understand it right that you updated the kernel as well?

If so, the stand alone version as well?

Gesendet von meinem SM-G800F mit Tapatalk
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
I only switched toolchains from Sabermod to UBER. I may change the ROM toolchain next time as well, not sure. It seems as if,at least when I sync the sources to build, that Sabermod is lagging behind. I'm not sure how much development is still going on with it as their Google+ page is also very quiet for a long time now.

I haven't updated the "stand alone" version of the kernel. Hell, I haven't even added fading LED's to that yet [emoji33]

Soon these will happen!
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
Thanks for the update!

When flashing the update does Xposed have to be flashed again?

Is it recommended to deactivate all Sustratum themes back to stock before the update?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
Is there any way to reduce vibration on haptic feedback? I have tried two s5 minis now, they both make a rattling noise on haptic feedback.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Honestly I'm not real sure. I would assume that if you dirty flash xposed will still be there. I'm also not positive about the substratum question. Perhaps someone else knows. I dirty flashed this originally, but it stalled at "starting system" Come to find out I had forgotten nova launcher, so yeah lol.

I was also curious about those things as well as the fact that I have gone back to some MM proprietary libs,so I wanted to see and help if anyone asked this question. Sadly I can't as I didn't realize the Nova thing till I did a full wipe.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Fratz:
Hey there. I tried the new version over the day and i can say, all in all it's a great ROM. Thanks for that! Nice! :)

I only experienced some minor bugs which are not necessary to mention or at least I got some workaraounds for these. (just 1 time stuttering display, camera bug only at the beginning while setting up everything, ...)

The only big thing is that i can't change my preferred network type, it stays at GSM/WCDMA/LTE. (I know some guys reported it before and it's common) Wouldn't be such a problem but my mobile data rate does not go higher than EDGE, which for me is not an option for everyday use. Does it also stay at Edge for you guys or did i miss something to change it? :P

BTW: I don't experience unusual battery drain, maybe it's because my phone stays at Edge/2G rate. The battery drain caused by 3G/LTE mode was a reason to switch from CM13, by hennymc, to this ROM. :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
For me it does not stay on Edge. But no idea what could solve your problem.

No battery drain on 3G here either.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad to hear that it's mostly working out for you. The network change issue is brought up a lot. I'll be honest,I don't have a problem with what it's set at automatically, so I think I've neglected looking into it partly for that reason and also I just forget until it's brought up again. Then I think "I'm going to look into this" I then proceed to forget lol

In not sure how it's implemented, but I promise I will look into this issue and see if I can find a way to fix it.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
What about LiveDisplay? It seems to be not part of the rom? Well, but I am also fine installing f.lux.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Pat750:
You could also try CF.lumen. l am using it the last couple of days (pro version) and it works fine because with root it changes the colors. Not like other apps that have an ugly overlay.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Agreed, cf.lumen is a very nice app. I use it as well.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Kianouch:
Thanks for the update ! I'll dirty flash it tonight :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:
The new update 1.18 only has November Security Patch. Why not December, the newest? Are the people at slimroms behind?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] marciste:
battery drain?

No, not at all. Runs very stable, though I can't switch to 3G neither 4G. Yestrrday I had a lockscreen freeze. Not sure, wether its a bug or my hardware...
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
It very well could be a bug.It's still very early days for this ROM.A lot of things will hopefully get sorted out with the next release.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] marciste:
lockscreen freeze

Possibly. It didnt happen to me in 0.1 but also with blissrom, which I tested a few weeks ago, very often.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Andi!K:
Good morning Gents,

I'm using SlimKat on my Tab for quite a while now and I'm very happy to see it for S5mini as well, now. Will give it a try once I have some time to do so.

Are there any problems with robotic voice in this rom?

BR

Andi
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
No issue with robotic voice.I will hopefully be updating this to alpha 0.4 by the weekend.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
The slim team has moved their weeklies from Wednesday to Friday.So I won't be updating this until sometime this weekend or early next week..

Just keepin people updated [emoji2]
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] ankkax:
Hi.

Is there way to get Navigation bar in this rom and turn off lights from s5 mini buttons?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Honestly I do not know.This is alpha 0.2 however.I'll be updating to alpha 0.4 soon.They have,and are adding more features.Perhaps then?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] zaworka:
You can activate navigation bar on any android phone/version by editing your build.prop. Just add the line "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" to it and reboot. You can find the build.prop in /system/ and will need a root explorer to edit it. To deactivate the button backlight you can use an app from playstore like "night mode". Running it without notification will eventually close the app every once in a while, so either you get used to the notification or always start the app when the backlight annoys you ;)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Well,I built alpha 0.4,but it seems as if it is broken for our device at the moment.Everything seems fine except one big thing...None of the buttons (back,recent,home) work at all.Hopefully this will be fixed in alpha 0.5. I will update then and keep my fingers crossed that this fixes the problem.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] Andi!K:
Good morning,

I have switched to Slim6 (Alpha 0.2) a week ago and would like to share my experience so far.

Generally, I am more than happy with the Rom, thanks a lot to [MENTION=7065337]spookcity138[/MENTION] for your great work so far.

The Rom is very stable (no crashes or random reboots so far), no camera crashes (I am using Snap Camera HD from Playstore), battery drain is good.

However, there are some minor issues I have noticed and which I would like to bring to your attention. None of them is really hindering in the daily use, but maybe there is a possibility for improvements in the future.

LTE is not working on my phone, although GSM/WCDMA/LTE is selected (Baseband: G800FXXU1BOL3; APN settings are correct and yes, I do have an LTE contract with my provider ;))

I cannot change the preferred mobile connection type; whatever I select, it will always switch back to GSM/WCDMA/LTE

Is there an option to display the battery status in % in the status bar?

Is there a way to remove the shortcuts from the lockscreen?

From other MM Custom Roms, I was used to three different icons for the several do-not-disturb modes (silent / only alarm / only important). In this one, there is the same icon for all three

I know that Slim does generelly have less options and settings (that's why it's "slim") and maybe I am a bit spoiled from CM and even more from Bliss, but having the options above would still be great (but not a must).

Again, thx for your efforts

BR

Andi
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Thanks for the feedback.It is appreciated.As far as the customization options (battery status,lockscreen shortcuts etc) they simply are not available for Slim yet.However,slim alpha 0.5 should be released later today and I will build it soon and release it..Assuming that the hardware keys work.They did not in alpha 0.4.

More options have been added in the last few builds.

I'm not real sure about the mobile connection type problem. I'm not really sure what the deal is there.I may be able to fix that with a build.prop add.Lets wait and see if alpha 0.5 will build and if the problem still exists.Then we can go from there.

Alpha 0.5

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] another343:
Ok, so I did my research and I found out that when i rebind the keys in Gravity Box it works just fine.

Ithink the problem is in the file "/system/usr/keylayout/Generic.kl" that is where the keys have their function assigned.

I tried to edit the file but it didnt fix it. Maybe you could look into the file.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hey,thanks for looking into this.I actually managed to partially "fix" the issue by editing/removing a few files.The only problem now is a unused option in the settings menu called "hardware keys" or something similar that FC' s if you click on it.This is probably a rather easy fix .I just don't have the time to mess with this right now. I'll upload the "fixed" version here. Everything appears to work fine. Just that option I mentioned before. In all honestly,IMO there really isn't a big change from alpha 0.2.The things that have been added are very buggy at best. I will probably just upload this version and worry about a permanent fix down the road once things seem to work better.

Edit: The weird thing is that the "hardware buttons" option in the settings menu isn't there in the original build when I changed nothing...At least that I noticed.That would prob solve the issue right there.Why it doesn't appear is beyond me.

Hardware buttons "fixed"...

[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
It is all about the ROM team merging/applying the security patches to their sources. As I posted in the CM13 thread this can be a challenge for ROMs that are not pure AOSP and can break parts of other ROMS.

That said, I'm not sure if slim is lagging behind or if the November security patch is as far as they are going to go with slim MM. I have looked into the possibility of trying to apply the critical patches from November on if slim is done with MM.

I do not have nearly enough time to apply them all.. Then build, see if things break and repeat. Hopefully slim is just behind and more patches are on the way though. I just don't know.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] friscoboi:

Dear [MENTION=7065337]spookcity138[/MENTION] ...

Is it in your power to enable the flag "config_enableAutoPowerModes"? It is needed to uses greenify's shallow hibernation.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Android Development] spookcity138:
Hmm, not sure honestly. Perhaps, I'd have to look into where it would go though as I haven't a clue off the top of me head.. And also if it would break anything.

If you have an idea of where to put it or any link to relevant info it would be most helpful to me.
