To God be the glory, my Slim7 Nougat project finally works!
This is a very slimmed down version of Android Nougat, almost a "vanilla" experience with a few tasteful perks! By design, this ROM comes without root for those who wish to have a "pure" version without the entanglements that come with root, but it can also be easily rooted by using chainfire's SuperSU (see below). In it's default form, it is perfect for those banking apps, workplaces, and games that require you to have a phone without root. No need for tricks or hacks, all while having the latest and greatest Android on your Samsung Galaxy S4.
If you do decide to use root, then you will be pleasently surprised to know that Substratum and layering works with this ROM. While not every part gets updated, for the most part it functions quite well in my initial testing.
**** This is an UNOFFICIAL ROM. Install at your own risk! ****

Gapps link:
http://opengapps.org/
-Which I personally only tested Pico. Be sure to choose "Arm" and "7.1".
This Rom has been stable for me for the past few days, however, Nougat is new, so be prepared for some little hic-ups here and there. Be sure to follow these installation steps very carefully, as they may be different then what you are used to.
!!!FIRST BOOT TAKES LONGER THAN 5 EARTH MINUTES TO COMPLETE!!!
!!!IF YOU FLASH SUPERSU, IT WILL REBOOT SEVERAL TIMES DURING INSTALL, THAT IS OKAY!!!
Installation instructions:
-Download ROM, and if desired, SuperSU, AKLU kernel, and gapps, and put them on your phone's external storage.
-Reboot into recovery mode - TWRP (I personally installed this using 3.0.2-0).
-Backup what you had. (Just to be safe.)
-Wipe. (I personally wipe everything prior to flashing new roms, but at least do the basic wipe.)
-Install Rom.
-Install Gapps. - Optional
--> OPTIONAL - If you want to install SuperSU, let the ROM boot up once first, then go back to TWRP and flash SuperSU zip. If it is stuck in a boot loop continually (it boot loops 1 to 4 times normally) then go back to TWRP and wipe cache and try again.
-Reboot to system and enjoy!
-OPTIONAL - After first boot, then go back to recovery and install the AKLU kernel.
Code:
What works:
So far everything that I have tried works, such as
- Camera for pictures only!
--> See notes section about video recordings.
- Phone calls/receiving
- Data 2g/3g/LTE
- Bluetooth
- WiFi
- PTP/MTP
- GPS
- WiFi hotspot
- Multi-Window
etc....
What doesn't:
- Video recording with the camera doesn't work right, see the notes section.
- Choosing to reboot the phone sometimes takes a loooong time. It may be better to Power off and then start the phone, which is faster for some reason.
-Let me know in the forums if you find other issues so I can work on fixing them.
This SlimRoms Nougat ROM was built for the JFLTETMO using modified LineageOS JFLTEXX trees. I have not tried this on any other device, but you are welcome to try it AT YOUR OWN RISK. It should flash on all JFLTEXX variants as well. Chime in if it worked on your device.
A huge thanks to the SlimRoms Project team!

All of my work is completely available for any who wish to use or modify it. I didn't make SlimRoms, the device trees, or vendor blobs. I simply used and edited existing material. A huge thanks should go to those who actually created this stuff.

-Initial release!

Rom Notes, Pictures, Features, and Thanks!
Main Features:
-Merged with android-7.1.1_r13
-SlimDim, now with 100% more dimming
-SlimAction, Splits screen action
-SlimRecents, an alternative recents
-Notification log (longpress statusbar header)
-Kill app from notification (long pres app notification)
-Substratum support (if rooted)
-OmniSwitcher built in so the kill function works with or without root.

Using the camera for videos and pictures:
Currently, the camera only technically works for pictures. I am working on a solution, one may be provided by work from @side. However, as it is right now, there are two optional ways to record video.
-My S4Camera app. The latest version is in this github repository as well as the source code. I am leveraging root permission to allow you to record videos up to 3 minutes long, there is currently no audio. You can download that here:
https://github.com/alaskalinuxuser/S4camera_app
or
-Camu camera, an app on the Google Play Store can be used, which technically strings together photographs to make a video.
Neither of these are the solution, but they are workarounds until the camera issue is fixed. Thanks for your patience.
Multi-Window mode:
Included in this ROM is "screens" a nifty tool to set multi-window shortcuts to open both apps that you want at once.
If you do not use the screens app, you will (currently) need to turn on the Nav bar to allow you to multi-window, as long pressing the recents button does not currently put you into multi-window mode.
Open Source apps:
There are quite a few really good open source apps included in this build, such as:
Screens app
Browser app
Amaze file manager app
SatStat GPS app
QKSMS texting app
All of these great apps and more can be found at https://f-droid.org/repository/browse/. You can also download other great apps there like music players, games, and everything else you might need. The Fdroid app allows you to maintain up to date version control and simple downloading and installation of these apps and is a lightweight alternative to the Google Play Store. that is certainly worth taking a look.

Whoo its time! Downloading it now:good:

Thanks for the kind words, but it really was @side who fixed the video camera.
Unfortunately, I have not gotten it to work on Slim7 yet. There is a problem with the stream in Slim7, so I am investigating that still.
However, the baby is due any day, so I think it will have to wait a while.

There was a similar issue with video recording on XenonHD HTC M7, ljjehl was able to fix it a day or two ago. https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...hd-5-0-2-beta1-27-12-14-t2986038/post70801111
Maybe you can talk to him and see how it was fixed.
He provides us with Snap camera, not sure what you're providing here with Slim.
My wife is still using an S4 (M919, TMO), that's why I'm lurking around these forums
I'd love to get her off Touchwiz 5.0.2, too old and too slow... And would love to get Substratum running on her S4 as well.
EDIT: The official site only has download links to MM, I don't see any N builds under any of the S4 variants.

Shpitz461,
Thanks, I will look into that.
As a side note, there are not any official builds for SlimRoms Nougat that I know of either. My build can be downloaded from post #1, but it is unofficial.

Which camera app is included? is there any way you can port the S4 Touchwiz camera?
And DUH, not sure how I missed the d/l link in the OP...
Thanks!

The current build has the snap camera but I tried both snap and camera 2 apps, and the problem is the same. I also tried some third party apps just to be sure, and they didn't work either, because the problem is in the framework.
Unfortunately no, we cannot port the tw camera, as that is proprietary closed source. Great thought though!

You and me both! When I get back to building, that is near the top of my to do list.
SlimRoms has always been one of my personal favorite builds, second only to Liquid Smooth and tied with Omnirom.

I flashed both RR and this SlimRom, and although I like both, I kind of prefer Slim. I'm a bit of a minimalist, so the closer to barebones I can get the better, then I add what I want. Along those lines, is there a way to remove the Google search bar? (I didn't install gapps, so not sure where it came from). And is there are a way to remove a couple other of the built-in apps (such as SatStat)?

For the Google search bar, I think you can turn it out like so:
Go to your home screen.
Hold your finger on an empty part of the screen until the options pop up.
Tap settings.
In the list, usually at the top, deselect search bar.
Hope that helps.

Since you are rooted, this is easy. There are tons of apps on the play store, Aptoid, or Fdroid, like system app remover, app uninstaller, link 2 SD, etc.
Technically, you could do it with the terminal or file browser in the /system folder, too, but if you are unfamiliar with that, I recommend that you use an app for that.

Installed this on my jfltecan and having a major problem. When I use the dialer to make a call, the screen shuts off and doesn't come back on, but I can hear the audio from the phone so the handset is still on. I have to do a battery pull or hard reset. Anyone else experienced this? I am using exDialer and Fongo (VOIP).
Edit: Seems like the phone becomes responsive again after a few minutes. Don't think this is specific to this ROM, I experienced the same thing with LineageOS. Not sure what to do here...

Fattest,
Other users of nougat rooms are complaining about VoIP apps, and Fongo has been mentioned quite a few times.
If you really need VoIP, I recommend that you stick with a marshmallow build until that gets sorted out.
Since it happens on multiple nougat ROMs, I suspect that either the device trees that we are using need pruning, or that these VoIP apps are not fully nougat compliant. (E.g poor implementation of the api's.)
However, I an willing to look into the problem if anyone will provide me with a log cat after making a VoIP call, along with a description of the problem, like you have here. The logs show me what android says the problem is, so I can troubleshoot.
Sent from my SM-N915F using XDA-Developers Legacy app

Thanks for the reply Alaska. I did some more experimenting with roms and dialing apps and found the following:
- Not localized to Nougat, I installed Slim6 and I have the same issue
- Not specific to VOIP apps (also tried Viber and WhatsApp), I have the same issue with stock dialer and exDialer.
As soon as I dial out, the screen goes blank and neither home nor power button will wake it. Back and menu buttons are not active. After the call ends and dialer closes, the phone becomes responsive again. At first I thought this was a proximity sensor issue, and maybe it is, but I was previously on stock touchwiz LP 5.0.1 and didn't have this issue with dialers or VOIP. I haven't tried recalibrating or taking the phone apart to remove dust around the sensor. I'll upload a logcat later today.
Edit: Looking more like it's an issue with my phone. I installed slimLP 5.1.1 and same issue with the screen. I'm going back to my stock backup and hope that it's ok there as I need the phone working during the week. Will try again next weekend.
Edit 2: OK it was a proximity sensor issue. I used this app and recalibrated the sensor, now it's working fine in calls. Back to testing Nougat on my S4.

[ROM] MIUIAndroid 2.6.8 TORO

Hey guys, I've taken the GSM Galaxy Nexus beta and have ported it over to the CDMA/LTE version on Verizon Wireless for here in the states.
I can actually release this to say that I'm comfortable with it enough to use it as a daily driver. So here we go.

I'm not responsible if you break your phone, or your self esteem.
Make sure you wipe EVERYTHING. Including, Data, Cache, and Dalvik-Cache.
Fresh Install, let boot and enjoy.
A few important notes, the Download app found in the tools folder prevents you from downloading large apps through the market over the carrier network, simply go into the app settings to disable this if you don't want to connect to a wifi network.
As far as I can tell most everything is working correctly, however if you notice something amiss. Leave a note here.
Known Issues:
Gallary FC's
Fixed:
Wi-Fi Tether
Airplane mode FC's
GPS
Cheers guys!
I think I will give this a shot a little later. Trying out AOKP b30 right now but can't flash over in the middle of class. haha Looking forward to SOMEONE getting a solid MIUI build for the Gnex Thanks for the work!
Wow looks polished. I'd love to see a fully working MIUI rom that doesn't have all the weird freakouts or horrible battery drainage.
I'm afraid to flash because I get addicted to MIUI very easily and force myself to work through the bugs.
Do you plan on keeping this updated and actually trying to work out the bugs?

I usually release every Friday, unless life throws me a fastball.
The battery drain was super noticeable in the 2.3.30 build, but I think that it was related to an issue with the CM9 upstream that week. I've since have had acceptable battery life this week.
While it's not perfect I hope to polish it in the coming weeks. Now that Xiaomi is releasing beta builds for the Galaxy Nexus I can build more reliable roms instead of having to splice stuff up for the Nexus S beta. I think most issues should resolve themselves in the coming weeks.
Most MIUI roms I've used in the past (and on other devices) seem they come out with a semi-working rom with a few little bugs, but the dev only updates the MIUI code and never works on fixing the known problems. So after several MIUI version bumps, the bugs just keep piling on until it isn't even worthwhile anymore.
+1 for MIUI officially supporting the GN.
MIUI is super awesome. I'm in love with the dialer, messaging, and music app. The theme support is nice too.

I totally understand that. If it's something that's LTE/CDMA galaxy nexus specific I'm going to do anything and everything with in my power to remedy those bugs.
Until Xiaomi fully releases their source code (I think they're planning on doing that sometime this year) I'm left debugging in dalvik byte code land, which can is not for the faint of heart.
I'm glad that this is coming from an official beta. Rather than having to take on the task single handed, there is a whole team in China perfecting the experience for this very hardware.
nice!! thanks!
hope this works since the server is as slow as a snail...46kbps?!?!?!?! my internet is like 40mbps...why?!??!
EDIT: is this the same as the one on the MIUI.us website?

Thank you!! I've been running 2.3.23 and I've fallen in love with it, despite the few bugs I've come across. Definitely my daily driver until I get AOKP fever again.
Flashing now. I look forward to the support and use the camcorder all the time so hopefully that's taken care of soon
Thanks again
Does this version of MIUI support themes. The last time I had installing themes made it not work.
I loved MIUI on my fascinate and was waiting for it on the GN. The problem with the other versions was it seemed like the images and UI resolution wasn't playing nice with the phones screen. It didn't seem sharp more like it was blurry. Also 5 x 5 home screens didn't look right.
I really like the themeing MIUI so I'll give this a try tonight after I make my back up and don't need my phone.

Edit: Google Play FC's :-(
Edit 2: Works after clearing data. Went into xda app to edit this and that forced closed. Opened right after that though.
Tethering isn't working for me. It worked fine on a 2.3.xx version. It seems to turn on wifi but nothing can connect to it and the symbol doesn't show up in the status bar. Theming is sporadic. Neither my status bar, including the pull down menu and toggles nor phone, nor sms theme and it doesn't list local themes even though it has the "Downloaded" banner in the online section. It doesn't set fonts. I've tried several and rebooted several times.
The biggest thing for me however is the nav bar. I do not like the controls at all... I'd much prefer if they were ICS or customizable or even capable of being disabled. I also loved the old miui search opposed to the Google. A choice there would be awesome too.
While I'm here, any chance I could get help setting the language to Japanese instead of English or Chinese?
Thanks a mil for all of your time and hard work.

For the most part, yes. I've noticed so far that status bar, phone and font doesn't take. Confirmed SMS, home, lock, icons, and boot animations. Really hard to notice unless you're coming straight from another miui.
Edit: SMS theme is not working. Not sure if it was working when I wrote my reply or if I was mistaken but its not working now.

How is everybody's battery life on this rom? I couldn't even get 6 hours on the other miui roms for some reason and that was with little to no use. Any ideas??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Wow this is my first time using MIUI and damn it's beautiful. I have heard great things about it. It's really a unique, interesting experience and has some great features. Google could learn a few things. I especially love how the notifications and sms work and how much more control you have over the notification led without a third party application. The lockscreen music player integration and control is extremely awesome as well. Installing imoseyon's lean kernel seemed to help smooth things out a bit too. Thanks for all the hard work porting it and keep up the great work on it.
Also tethering worked fine for me.
What's the different between this and the other miui rom from miui.us?
Status bar not only ignores themes but doesn't keep notifications while ob the home screens. It just has Verizon Wireless on the left. I don't know I missed a call unless I see it on my lockscreen or dock icon.

This is caused by the Downloads app that defaults under a tools folder in the home screen
You can prevent it from happening by doing the following
In the Home Launcher screen by default there should be a folder called tools. Within the tools folder (or wherever you may have put it now) there is an app called Downloads.
After entering the App, go ahead and hit the menu button and select "Settings"
Now when you are finally here you have the option to turn off monitoring by deselecting "Data download prompt", or you can set a different value if you want it to control large file downloads if you are on a limited data plan.

[ROM] A Guru'd NIGHTLY, Themed, Loaded, And Soon To Be Final??? (Update 9-2-2012)

9-2-12: I should be wrapping up today, as I'm going away for a few days as well. For the most part I'm pretty happy with the build, but there's still a few loose ends that I won't be able to fully finish. But then I don't think I could ever be 100% satisfied with a build, nature of perfectionists. Anyways, stay tuned, I'm outtie 8pm tonight. So one way or another something WILL be posted by then.
General Warning: I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. I'm providing these ROM's on an "as is basis". There is no warranty implied or otherwise. But know that I would never release a ROM without first testing it on my own device.
( Please take a minute to browse through the "Troubleshooting tips / General Q&A" section below before voicing a concern or inquiring about features. )
What's included you ask? My builds are all based on nightly builds, but with that I've also included the following:
I've included a fully customized HoloLauncher to match the overall theme of my ROM. Note regarding Hololauncher.... if after updating you want my icons and not the default hololauncher icons, under "Launcher Settings" choose "Appearance Settings", under icon pack, select "None"... And yes the Trebuchet launcher is still there, but I've left it as a fall back in the event of catastrophe. There's nothing worse than a failed update breaking your launcher and locking you out of your phone.
The V6 Supercharger is always available as a system installed service on my ROM. Simply run su, then v6 in terminal emulator to get every ounce of zoom outta yur device... more notes below...
Don't go flashing a gapps package over one of my ROM's. I've already included a majority of the gapps package, and doing so breaks a few of the tweaks and mods I've built into the ROM.
Ever wonder why you need to see 4, 6, or more of the same widget. Well, you don't! Thanks to a modded "AppWidgetPicker" similar to the pictures here... Now you'll only see one of each of our widgets.... :laugh: Doesn't work with the Trebuchet launcher, but will with most other launchers.
I've included a YouTube player capable of 720p playback...
On top of the standard Apollo player, I've also included Google Play. Both of these apps are also fully capable of utilizing the integrated Beats Audio.
Car home is one of my favorite apps, and is included.
I've added an "Accurate" battery mod.
I've included a Taskmanager capable of dumping unused RAM.
Solid Explorer is included. Its free, Root capable, and is downright beautiful.
Jelly Bean fonts...
Added a clock package that leaves little to be desired. ie. timers, stopwatch, etc...
Added automatic cache flushing to my update script. No more need to flush your cache following your flash. There's also some other bits in there to check partitions, and if need be, repair them.
Added automatic permissions corrections following update.
Tmo_SGH-T989_UVLE1_radio is flashed during install.
I've included a Modified version of AwesomeBeats, originally by ...Awesome... ( Themed the apk with the original DSP icon )
Most of the gapps-ics-20120429-signed package has been installed, modded of course.
I've added my huge audio collection, tons of ringtones....
Added a custom hosts file that blocks everything....
I've themed just about every app, as well as the framework... ( Tastefully done, I think... )
I've also integrated some of the V6 mods, and I've also pre-modded the services.jar. The following commands are available right out of the box, flush, sclean, and V6. To use simply open Terminal Emulator, type su and hit enter, then type V6 and hit enter. Your off and running.
The latest modded Google market, has also been included. ( I only added a themed icon, the mod was done in the thread I've linked )
Modified Phone Dial Pad.... Because I'm Tired of big ugly ass blue keys...
My Torch app...
I'm sure I'm forgetting other edits I've made, but those are the most notable.
This file has been signed, and is flashable via the recovery of your choosing. If you're coming from a nightly build, you should be able to flash this over your existing ROM without error. That being the case, be sure to wipe Cache and Dalvik. But to guarantee a smooth running system I would recommend a factory reset, manually clearing your cache & dalvik, plus wiping sd-ext. note.... In my latest builds, as of 7/24, this is all done for you....
What should you do first? To get every little bit of performance and zoom out of your device, I'd suggest first opening Terminal Emulator, type in su (that's the letter s and the letter u ) then hit the enter key. Next type in v6 ( that's the letter v and the number 6 ), and again hit enter. Follow the prompts, and after all the automatic commands have run, type in 33 and hit enter. Once your back to a # promt, type in sclean and hit enter. This will dump your cache and restart your device. Lastly open RomManager, and run "Fix Permissions". Enjoy your speedy new ROM....
Another v6 command you should use is... "flush". If your device slows after a few days and you don't want to reboot, simply open terminal, type su, hit enter, then type flush, hit enter. When complete close terminal by clicking the x in the upper right, and that's it....
Check out my Torch mod, now in flashable form... =)

Troubleshooting tips / General Q&A:
What's the deal with the Long Pause after the Samsung boot logo? There's no loading bar animation visible during boot. Its normally seen after the Samsung Boot Logo, and before the Bootanimation. For whatever reason, in the nightly builds, that loading bar has been left out. It causes no problems or errors. In fact everything loads so quickly I don't even think most people have noticed the missing animation.
Superuser Problems: If for any reason you have su errors, or Superuser.apk problems, please refer to my su tools thread. And when in doubt, there's absolutely nothing wrong with using the older Superuser 3.0.7 app, in fact I'd recommend it as the fail-safe option. "Build 6-9-12". Flash via the recovery of your choosing. ( The Superuser app has since been updated in the market. )
Buggy App's / FC issues / General Random Goofyness: If you didn't do a factory wipe / full wipe, and your phones running anything but smoothly, you need to reflash your ROM, and this time use the following procedure. Reboot into recovery,
Notes regarding DARKSIDE.SUPER.WIPE / DARKSIDE.CACHE.WIPE: Speaking from my own experience, these are two fantastic tools. They do their jobs well, and should definitely be used by those who would consider themselves "frequent flashers". BUT... be forewarned... If you use these tools as your "sole and primary means of system cleanup" you will experience boot errors!! What's that mean? Should I stop using DARKSIDES's tools? The short answer... No. But you should get into the habit of wiping your Cache and Dalvik following ANY and ALL system maintenance. Relying on the tools for this crucial step greatly increases your chances of experiencing bootloops and general no-boot conditions. I'm not sure if it relates to the manner in which partitions are wiped, or maybe the disk alignment procedure. But in my experience, not clearing my cache following the use of these tools leads to greater occurrences of boot failure.
Touchscreen Unresponsive: There's a known bug in CM9 where your touch screen may stop responding and prevent you from unlocking. If you come across this problem, press your palm to the screen and slide it around. In my own experience, this issue seems to arise only once or twice per ROM flash.
I want toggles... Why no flashlight toggle: This question, in one form or another, has been asked way to many times now. I don't know if people are afraid their going to break something by looking around, changing settings, or who knows what. So I'm going to give you a few must see features, you may or may not know of.
Features you may or may not know of:
By popular demand, Toggles: In your settings, under the heading "Interface" Select "System", then "Notification drawer", then "Widget Buttons". I always use the same five toggles. I don't like scrolling toggles, and my needs are pretty basic. My Toggles of choice are, Brightness, GPS, LED Flashlight, Orientation, and Wi-Fi. Then on that same page, at the bottom of the list are modes. Brightness I choose all, Network I choose the third option, Screen time outs I like long, sound I choose all, and Flash I choose normal. Then hit the back key once, and the last item on the page should be "Widget Button Order. In my case, I slide LED to the top and I'm set.
Capacitive Back Light Keys: I've never been a fan of the capacitive lights. There too bright, I already know where those keys are, they seem wasteful, they're always flashing in the middle of game play, and on and on. In the past enabling / disabling BLN required another app or a hack, in CM9 you'll find its editable via settings. In settings under the heading "Device" select "Advanced", then select the tab "Sensors". Here you'll find your devices system-wide BLN settings. I unselect both.
MTP vs. Mass_Storage: Both modes have there advantages and disadvantages, but at least now you get to choose and not your dev. In settings, under the heading "Device" select "Storage". On that very first page, using your phones touch keys, click the menu button ( the left most capacitive touch key ). This brings up two options, the first is "USB Computer Connection". This is where you can choose between three option, MTP, PTP, and Mass Storage. I find myself going between MTP and USB Storage. Only drawback is that MTP doesn't see files sometimes. And for those of you that are wondering about the "Storage Configuration" link, and subsequent "Use Internal Storage". Its probably not what you think. It actually swaps your Int and Ext storage, completely. Great as a fix-it tool, but if your running my ROM, your better off leaving this as is.
Awesome Beats vs. MusicFX: In settings, under the heading "Device" select "Sound". Select "Music Effects, and then choose whether to use MusiFX or Awesome Beats (aka. DSP Manager).
Notifications Bar to Settings in a Tap: Pull down your notification bar, just to the right of the date is a little icon, tap it for easy access to your settings menu. I use this pretty frequently as a shortcut when joining wireless networks.
Noise Suppression: Press the phone icon, with your dial-pad on screen, hit your menu button.
Look for the option "Noise suppression", put a check in the box.
To test you call quality, use "The Telcom Toolkit"..... Option 4 to record your call + playback....
Try it with suppression checked, and without. Pretty big difference. I'll be setting this option as default in my next ROM.
There's loads more I'm not mentioning. But what you should really do is go through your settings yourself, one by one. In fact, you'll even be killing two birds with one stone at that point. You'll learn your way around your device, and you'll be able to optimize your phone to your own choosing.​Have fun, and happy flashing..... :good:

There's the standard "Power Bar", available in all CM9 builds, if that's what you're referring too. I prefer the widget buttons on the notification bar to anything else.My 5 must haves, Flashlight, Wi-Fi, GPS, Brightness, and Orientation. Other than that, the screenies are how I run, minimal and clean.
This is was upp downloading now ill report back thnx bro!

Yup. No different than any other CM ROM. ...
You made me think of something though... If your not familiar with the most recent nighlies, there's one thing that might throw folks. There's no loading bar visible while the boot image loads. ie.. Typically you see, Samsung logo.... Then blue left to right loading bar... Then Bootani.... In these builds that left to right blue loading bar has been left out....
Not a problem, just wait through the blackness, don't start pushing buttons in a panic...

Capacitive touch key's are 100% functional in these builds, ie. system integrated and working properly. Go through system settings, you'll find Back Light Notifications under "Advanced", and under the tab "Sensors".

In the OP it says the UVLE1 radio is flashed during install. If I want to use the TLLE Telus radio can I flash it after the ROM is flashed instead of before? Thanks.
Running good so far, haven't came across any problems yet but omg, why so many launchers -_- where can I get a review or something so I can pick a launcher and stick to it lmao will Apex Launcher run as smoothly as the other 3?

In my book its always nice to have a few choices, NovaLauncher is new to me, I added that for my own testing. Trebuchet, I've never really liked. And I almosted added HoloLauncher too, (( If you haven't tried HoloLauncher yet, its available via the Market. Definitely worthwhile... ))
I'll only have one or two in my next build. I'd love to revive LauncherPro. Best launcher ever in my book!
Can I get just the custom host file? And where to put it?

Small update adds recents clear all button and removes some g-apps that are available in the play store also adds hi-res wallpapers to launcher
ROM Overhaul ......
Ok so I noticed that most of the ROMs that I have used here including my own has been recreating the wheel so I have decided to go back to my roots and make pure AOSP with only the "fixes" found here and from AOSP so my ROM has become "clean" and basically stripped of its samplings from other developers written code to pursue my own originality so if you want just a basic AOSP ROM here is where you can come.
flavor of the day:
http://d-h.st/28m
Happy Holidays to All!!!
Running your latest build and its really smooth. I'm hoping the WiFi not reconnecting after tablet sleep bug is not present but it did take a while for it to reconnect.
Running the latest version, it resets every once in a while. Doesn't seem to be tied to any particular app or activity.
Thanks I will look into that at the moment I am in the process of updating and fixing some of the bugs I've found
Ok as an update my ubuntu partition crashed on me and I lost most of everything so I'm back to square one again ..... but I have decided to take a different path .... I see that no one has maintained a completely vanilla rom, by vanilla I mean no features, no google, just Open Source Android, so this is what I will be offering from here on out .... vanilla android with my own fixes and coding (the little that I know how to do) and I'm going open source also I have received some pm's about adding devices to my rom ... and the only devices I have are the spcs gnex and the N10 these are the only devices I will maintain for since I can't possibly troubleshoot for a device I dont have .... so for anybody that was using my rom thanks and maybe I can catch you on the vanilla side (you know after you get bored with your full featured CyOKPAMuzEOS beast roms lol)
alright I'm completely vanilla now, ROM posted in the OP also I may have corrected that wifi disconnect issue haven't had a problem with wifi sleep or random resets on my n10 so hopefully you won't either
Do you have your locations enabled and no restarts? I've been having restart issues on cm,paranoid,ect. Hoping your rom will resolve these damn restarts.

Flashed this build last evening, gesture typing doesn't seem to be working. I've tried clearing the keyboard cache/force stopping it with no luck. I even tried force stopping android system - just cause. Everything else seems rock solid.
after I uploaded the roms I realized that I enabled gesture typing but did not fix the driver .... as a temporary fix you can delete libjni_latinime.so and rename libjni_latinimegoogle.so to libjni_latinime.so it will will be addressed in the next upload

No satellites are in view and no signal is received from them. I've rebooted a couple of times and it still doesn't work. When I flash other ROMS the GPS works again. I really like your ROM and would prefer to run it. I've checked with GPS test plus and GPS essentials and get the same result.
Is there a log or some tool I could use to get you more information?

Well, now that CM is dead. Where do I go for updated ROMs with the features I liked?

I have been trying some of the other roms here for the Nexus 5x. resurrection, pixel rom, pure nexus. I have figured out that there are only four things I REALLY need in a ROM. all the rest is fluff. Im sure everyone has their own list.
1. Ability to run rooted firewall so my device isnt open to the world and whatever app devs think they want to know about me.
2. Dark theme for longer battery life and easy eye strain.
3. Some version of Privacy Guard so that some random calculator app isnt sending my list of contacts to some app developer in China.
4. A blocklist that is integrated into the dialer and messenger like CM so i can just touch a number or text and say block.
SO I am using the last CM13 nightly before they went to 14.1. I tried the last CM14.1 and trying to get dark mode to work even with Substratum and several different skins gave me really random results, like it looked good but couldnt see keyboard input in Messaging, or one of the roms didnt even have a messaging app so I tried an old AOSP one floating around on Play and it was terrible (and no block option). I would love to update my phone to Nougat but really feel like I'm stuck back here for a bit. If any of you know some Nougat roms i could try for my 5X that address the features above, please let me know.
Thanks!
I reccomend you AICP. It's preety similar to CyanogenMod but with more customizations.

they are working on it but its based on AOSP and as such there doesnt seem to be privacy guard. plus the default dialer doesnt work so you have to uninstall it and use the Google dialer which i really dont want to do for privacy reasons.
@fedesandor
thanks for the AICP recommend. it looks like Nexus 5x development has stalled but ill keep an eye on that rom. their download site doesnt come up for me so ill keep checking. it looks like ill have to wait for a Lineage release or a CM derivative Nougat rom.
thanks for your suggestions.

2. Nexus 5X has IPS LCD, so there shouldn't be any impact on battery life. Only OLED displays can absolutely shut down the pixels, which in fact reduces energy consumption.
3. Isn't that native in Marshmallow and up? I mean app permissions.
I use Resurrection Remix, has all the CM features plus some others really useful
About the privacy guard thing, since MM it is built in native on the system right?

Sorry for the "OT" but what are the concerns about using google dialer? I use to install it always and remove aosp dialer because it is updated in google play with good features
Pure Nexus is the way to go with this device.
Didn't try CM14 or AICP /Resurrection, which base on it, but the old PrivacyGuard was definitely more comfortable&useful than Nougat-AppSettings. But be honest: all those switches gave you a feeling to manage anything and made no smarmy app safe.
DarkTheme doesn't give longer battery-life, as said before.
AOSP-dialer allows to define blocked numbers.
I recommend AOSP: PureNexus or Slim, without GApps and with clean 3rd party apps.

e.g. Amazon App Store?
@neth15, I use this one
@Javi22 i have tried resurrection remix and had some trouble with the dark theme, but maybe i have been deluded about saving battery with dark themes anyway. but i have gotten used to having a more subtle phone screen so that bright stuff hurts my eyes.
@neth15 regardless of the technology, more light = more power doesnt it? isnt that just math? ill do some searches on the different type of display tech. maybe i am thinking old math.
@rp158 the permissions that are cooked into nougat dont seem as comprehensive, plus those are the ones that google stuck in there. i think they call it the fox guarding the henhouse. i appreciated privacy guard because it was added by CM (maybe a derivative of earlier google stuff) and seemed to pop up more often then the inbuilt permissions. the reason i even want a non-stock rom is so i dont have every google app telling google what sms i get, what numbers i dial, and where i go. i know it may be a futile gesture at this point, but i still feel a little stubborn about it.
and the blocklist thing is ridiculous. i tried AICP and i could manually enter a number to block but couldnt figure out how to block from the call log or add the BLOCKED contact i have stuck some 75 numbers under. it could be user error, but the old CM integrated blocklist was sweet. i have had a serious stalker for six weeks now and i have to block three or four numbers a day.
i wanted to try the latest PureNexus last night but even after following directions to the letter multiple times (wipe,flash,reboot) i couldnt get past the "android is starting" screen so i guess i have something to try today.

AFAIK no. Displays combine red, green and blue subpixels to create other colors. So if the screen is supposed to be black, subpixels still shine, but at different rates and ratios. Maybe not that hard, but I guess the difference is minimal to none. Correct me if I'm wrong.
BTW I'm using PureNexus + Substratum + ModernUI, pretty sick
Right now I reinstalled to the latest version with no problems. Just flash newest factory image, newest TWRP, PureNexus, GApps and SuperSU in this order. Works just fine.
EDIT: And yes, I'm using OpenGapps.
I'm using DirtyUnicorns 7.1.1, great rom
@neth15 i just got purenexus to install by using the dynamic gapps instead of opengapps. which opengapps did you use? i tried to use open_gapps-arm64-7.1-pico-20161215.zip and that didnt seem to work. what are you using for a themeable SMS app? i tried to use AOSP messaging and it doesnt theme, and the xda themeable one from the Substraum Domination thread crashes repeatedly. https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/themes/theme-domination-theme-layers-t3265238. anyway ill keep working on it.
@dcarrco I use nano, on their site they say it contains basics to make GP work + some things, that are not available in GP (face recognition in Smart Lock I guess, but I'm not sure, thinking just by looking at install log).
I use SMS in Facebook Messenger, so sorry, idk What about Google's Messenger?

yeah? i used dirty unicorns for a while back when i had a galaxy s3... a long time ago
ill check it out. getting stuck on themed messenger and good blacklist now...
i just tried CM14.1 and the blacklist there is almost useless. i guess ill have to wait until the features i liked are returned to a later version and stick with CM/lineage
or spend some time finding a good quality Call/SMS blocklist/blacklist manager that works well and integrates to my ROM well. i dont really understand why there isnt more energy going into these features. yeah sure, circle menus and cool animations are interesting, but having to deny 10 calls a day from marketers seems like a much larger waste of time. i hear daily from co-workers how may marketing calls the get, what a drag it is, how much time and energy slowly accrues dealing with that. iphone people cant even figure out a way to silence that stuff. at least in android we had something. now with nougat the pay apps like extreme call blocker dont integrate to SMS and the best fatures (like hanging up on the person instead of sending them to VM) dont even work. arggh. well. frustrating.
ok. i looked at Google Dialer and Google Messenger. they both allow the kind of thing i want, to select a message or call and add that number to BlockList. the only piece still missing, for some reason, is the ability to block UNKNOWN and PRIVATE callers. CM used to do that. any idea if its coming back?

Thanks for the ROM, are there any problem with the Camera on Whatsapp? Works only with Aurora Market?

The only "problem" I see in relation to the camera in whatsapp is the quality that ends up coming out a bit bad, but this can be corrected using some third camera (I use the google camera), and the rom works with any store.
Flashed from stock oreo after wiping sdcard and internal. Love the numerous colour theme options and inverted light/dark option too. I may have got a bad gapps as playstore crashea every time I try to install an app. Camera works but video won't at back and crashes on me too. Rebooted but still happening will try clearing data and see if that helps.

*Edit: cleared cache and data from Play store, play services camera and gallery. Video player when launched from gallery still crashes when selecting play but everything else is working as it should, including my Bluetooth earphones [emoji4]

Also just a heads up that the banner says OS version 3.1 but title of thread says 3.2

Switch video resolution to 1080p in camera app (in camera 4k is the default resolution, but 4k video recording not works)
And use opengapps

Thanks for the suggestions. I had already set Video resolution to 1080 after reading it was an issue previously and didn't want to use up all my storage on cat videos. So had already set resolution settings below 4k before attempting to record.
The camera recorded and saved properly. It was the attempting to play the recording back using gallery app that caused the video to FC/crash. I I a playstore camera/editing app and after rebooting device a couple times since then I noticed the video is now playing ok from the gallery app included in rom.
Sorry I wasnt very specific on gapps used. I flashed open_gapps-arm64-8.1-nano-20180823.zip
Also an update: Bluetooth worked well for podcasts and video streaming. But discovered it isn't at all workable when on the phone. I tried to get you a call recording but that failed to start. And a bug report too but that only created a folder on my root drive however it's been several years since I've taken one so am likely why the bug report didn't work. Didn't have time to Google or search here for instructions because needed to get to that call.
I noticed more than a few times today that the back button tended to kill apps with little effort or delay and wasnt at all what I was trying to do, but couldn't find a way to change that in system settings or nova launcher.
Only other feedback I have after using for about a day is that there are a few instances in UI where system apps have white background despite applying the black option in the ROM theme settings. Nothing too big of a deal but hurts the eyes if not expecting the white. I noticed it with the included messaging text app, Google drive, phone dialer and contacts. If all system UI could match theme settings that'd be slick.
The wallpapers included with the ROM are also cute. And more than I remember getting with other similarly based ROMs, so thank you.
It's a nice ROM and reminded me of using old slimROMs, but I need my phone calls to be happy with Bluetooth so sadly will likely need to go back to TW or stock.

If you go to settings/sound and disable vibrate on touch then go to settings/Galaxy/buttons and enable button touch and accidental touch should make it better

Sorry but i don't have more the Galaxy S7
I don't have mobile data on the latest release. Checked APN settings many times and everything is okay, but still no connection. Does anyone has the same problem? How can I solve the issue?
EDIT: Solved issue temporarily by changing status "mobile data always active" option in developer settings.
