Hi
I prepared short review for SlimKat 3.4 unofficial build for XT910 UMTS.
I use it for a last few days and my general impression is positive.
But lets start from beginning...
1. Instalation
I use SafeStrap, so installation process is very easy: create slot, install software and gapps, clean cache and Dalvik cache. That's all.
After booting of phone there is sort setup and phone is ready to work. ALMOST...
After next restart phone stops connecting to network and to fix that problem it is necessary manually delete CellBroadcastReceiver.apk what is very easy because SlimKat is delivered with SlimCenter containing SlimSizer when user can delete any app.
So, delete it, reboot and forget about network connection problems. Why this app is delivered with most of KitKat ROMs for XT910 UMTS I do no understand. All of them have the same problem after rebooting.
2. Daily usage
I use it as my daily driver last days and it worked really good. I noticed just one crash when I used Any.do app but I cannot reproduce it so far.
Battery life is good for me - see BatteryLife.jpg attached. On the other hand I was totally surprised when I charged battery to 102% - see Battery102.jpg - really strange.
I turned system to use ART instead of Dalvik and I haven't noticed any problem so far. Every app I used worked properly. Of course app installation time is a bit longer now, but good information is that apps starts faster.
Call/receive calls - not problem. Sound is clean.
WiFi - I haven't noticed any problem with connection/disconnecting WiFi networks. Everything worked good.
GPS gets position really fat, I was very surprised with that.
SMS sending works properly but I still cannot send any MMS message. Nevermind data transmission is enabled. I does not work. To receive MMS data transmission must be enabled. This is the biggest bug I noticed.
Flip actions to dismiss call or alarm also don't work what confuses me. It worked perfectly in CARBON 4.2.2 version I used for long time.
It looks very strange in action: flip down - no action performed, flip up - phone seems to be blocked for some time and after a few seconds you can finally dismiss alarm or call.
Memory usage is much better than in 4.2.2 ROMs. After boot there is used 434MB and free 405MB of RAM with all of my services and widgets started. Great result.
Bleutooth I didn't test. I use it very seldom and it is not much important to me.
What was new for me - used apps display. It is changed in SlimKat - nice right side panel is displayed with list of used application.
Generally I must say that I like SlimKat. It has all options I really need to use it every day. I'm happy with Real dark option which turns system and most important apps into black theme, performance good enough without replacing kernel, ART support without problems and smoothness of GUI.
I hope that strange battery behavior and MMS sending problems will be fixed in next releases
And maybe XT910 will be officially supported by SlimKat team?

Small update:
MMS issue: installing 8sms application solves problem. Probably Messaging app does not resize image and whole MMS message is declined by network as too big.
SlimKat umts_spyder build 3.6 2014-03-09
I performed dirty flash of SlimKat 3.6 over SlimKat 3.4 - no problems.
Everything works as it worked before. I haven't noticed any new problems.
I'm still not happy with bad flip actions support but that this problem exists in every of tested KK ROMs - looks it is general malfunction.
Waiting for new version...
bluetooth
Hi I would be curious to know if the bluetooth works, in particular in the car. also if the bluetooth has any problems pairing and keeping the pair when you change from flight mode to normal, if you have to pair again or not . thanks for the review
Hi
I have tested bluetooth with other phone and headset and haven't noticed any problems. You do not have to pair devices again after going off flight mode.
SlimKat 3.8 upgrade
Hi
I performed dirty flash to SlimKat 3.8 without problems. CellBroadcastReceiver.apk is still delivered so you have to delete it manually to get rid of cell connection problems
After that device works good. Still great memory management
I noticed that problems with flip actions seems to be almost resolved and now I can dismiss call and alarm flipping down my phone.
For calls it works immediately but for alarms I need to perform flip down - flip up - flip down and after some delay alarm is dismissed.
What I'd like to see in SlimKat are Performance options in settings. Of course I can install some app to manipulate processor settings and governors but I think this should be part of system delivery.
And, of course, XT910 is still not supported officially, so forget OTA.
How about slim 4,any surprised？
I used SlimKat for a while and I found it REALLY FAST AND SMOOTH! I reccommend it!
Now I'm installing the 4.0 build and we'll see how it works
the only problem I experienced: when discharging completely to "0%"...my phone resets itself, quite strange/frustrating...
I'm still on 3.8. Yesterday I dischrged battery to 0% and phone shot down correctly , not restarted automatically.
Abou 4.0 - I'm a bit confused. SlimRoms.net does not mention that so far but in changelog we can find 3.10 version: http://slimroms.net/index.php/changelog.
I'll wait a bit
hello
I installed 4.4.2 build 4 and I got the network problem and after i deleted the cellbroadcast.. it worked!! but now i have a problem with the hotspot ;( my brother tried to connect but he couldn't ;( do you know what to do to solve this little problem?
I havent tried wifi tethering before (no need) but it looks problem exists. I also cannot connect to established hotspot (I still on 3.8). I remember that there was tethering problem on beginning of work on kitkat custom roms for Razr device but it was fixed long time ago.

Hello, 1st post here I LOVE Slimkat for our Razr, I've been running the latest updates in slot 1 for months and for the last few days I've run the latest build in the stock slot and love it even more.
But I have to agree that AP / hotspot / wifi tether is not working anymore. It was working fine for a while there -- here are notes in the update log:
29DEC2013 - CM's netd code "hopefully fixes wifi tether" [I think it started working around here for the 1st time]
09FEB2014 - "mobile hotspot fixed" [might have broke again along the line ? ]
In the last 2 builds (20MAR2014 first then tried 27MAR2014 both as dirty flash and then fresh in slot 1), I can create a hotspot but nothing can join. Too bad because I really make use of it, hope it gets fixed again soon
And thx to original poster for posting a quality review of what is one of the best ROMs for our classic spyder.
After a week on SlimKat 4.0 i have to say that it is really solid and stable. Wifi tethering is known problem (reported to dev forum). I also noticed that my favourite governor "hotplug" is no longer supported and battery usage over night is now 4% instead of 2% I used to. I'm not sure hotplugging is supported by interactive or ondemand governors. I think I'll try to use JBX kernel with SlimKat and see how good it is. If you have any experiences, plz share with me.
Whew this guy figured out that the CM11 WiFi AP fix still also works for us:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51713472&postcount=1592
just installed and it's working.
Finally I tested SlimKat with JBX kernel (only battery saver enabled) and I havent noticed any better bsttery life. There was even worse than without it: 5-6% over night consumption when phone did nothing. I also played with governors enabled in JBX what almost every time caused system hanging.
So, finally I resign of JBX and made decision to give another chsnce to Carbon Rom that was my daily driver for months (release 4.2.2).
I must say I'm surprised how good is Carbon now - I remember first 4.4 releases. Everything seems to work properly including tethering. What is quite important for UMTS razor users we can disable CellBroadcastReceiver in settings - no need to delete it and restart phone.
There is one feature I love especially: lockscreen notifications. This is killer feature for me.
What is also important for me, Hotplug governor is enabled in kernel and again I have overnight usage 2-3%.
I must say I'm currently very satisfied with Carbon Rom. Looks it became my daily driver again.

Hi!
I installed Slimkat version 7.0 stable and my cell phone (S3 I9300) lost network connection randomly. Duration of connection is 1 - 2 seconds max. If I delete CellBroadcastReceiver.apk as you say, network connection will be stable, without disconnect randomly?
Thanks!
I installed johnnyslt's LiquidSmooth ROM (Build: 1st March) on shooter.
But I noticed that WiFi location is not working at all.
(I confirmed GPS location does work:laugh
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Any idea?
I'm on the same rom and it works for me, have you tried reinstalled the rom?

Thanks for your response.
Yes. I'm sure. I've already tried to reinstalled several times.
The method of production is as follows:
- Turn on "Airplane Mode"
- Turn on WiFi (Note that mobile data connection is still disabled)
- Make sure location mode is set to "Battery Saving" (like a screenshot I attached)
- Try to launch google maps, for example
On my device, I can't confirm that WiFi location works properly.
Thanks.

For your infomation, I noticed that WiFi location of dastin's CM11, which did work before, now doesn't work
when its kernel began to be ported from MiRaGe kernel at March 19th's CM11(not Liquid Smooth) build.
So, I think there is something wrong with MiRaGe kernel related to WiFi location

woo
is working for me also. however i am still getting the muffled sounds when playing a streaming service through the headphone jack. it works ok as long as i dont switch to a different app from the streaming app. but if i do switch the muffled part happens and then it requires a reboot to get it back to sounding normal. figured i would let you know johnnyslt. aside from that liquid smooth is the shizz keep up the good work. oh and im running the april 16th version.

everyone who're fedup with Oxygen OS can try this new rom BlissMallow rom formerly known as Blisspop
works smooth & fine, you can use it as a daily driver
as usual LAF & FP not working as of now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/development/rom-blisspop-t3226519
Just flashed it yesterday, so far so good !
flashed it yesterday too, found it a little too buggy.. facebook app FC's, drop down menu FC's, gps was off, and alert slider doesn't work along with LAF & FP. Took crappy pic's. I'll stick with OOS with xposed modules for now. We aren't to far off from official 6.0 for OPT

The rom is pretty stable, not a lot fc's for me and non at all at the dropdown menu.
Gps is worknig, camra is working and there is no diffrance in the pics from oos.
It's a good rom, and cloud be a daily use, even it's a bata.
I have two major issues with the latest rom :
1. rotation sensor not working.
2. proximity sensor not working.
clean flash 3 times , tried downloading the file two times to rule out bad download
also flashed it with/without Google apps , nothing helps so far
is anyone else facing those issues here or can someone please point me towards a solution?
thank you

Do an advanced wipe. And wipe everything expect your SD card.
Flash Blissmallow and any gapps ( I use slim gapps) and then wipe dalvik and cache

giving it a try right now
edit: not working .
tried it twice and still no go, very weird
when trying any other cm13 based rom sensors works great, I think it has something to do with mahdi's device tree.
Just tried this today. So far:
1) Sometimes FC in settings when switching which SIM card to use for data
2) Waking up device by power button wakes the screen, but it's black and I can't input the PIN to unlock the device. Basically I have to force reset it. This happens every now and then.
3) Priority toggle: If you toggle too quick, the phone doesn't understand and misses it. I.e. you might be in "do not disturb" mode, but the phone didn't catch on so it thinks you're in "priority only", letting things through.
4) Camera seems to work OK, autofocus not an issue so far
5) No idea about battery life
6) Obviously no finger print scanner
I'm going to test it as a daily from now on, let's see how this goes. (coming from OxygenOS)

I have exactly the same issue and have flashed stock using the recovery tool, and factory reset and refashed oxyslim and I still have no proximity snesor and not rotation at all.
I cant find a modem thread for the a2003 op2, some say they modem maybe wrong.
Two posts above there is a solution that works, you need to wipe persist and flash the one in the link above
Just follow the instructions and youre all set
Good luck

if you're on late version that has LAF working just look at the camera and you'll see a red dot underneath it.

Great ROM
Hi All
Like this rom. This is the ONLY rom that has been stable enough to tempt me away from oos.
I did a clean flash for the initial install, then dirty flash with the updates. Current Running the 20160224-1305 build
Very few issues. Good enough for my daily driver. The only bugs I've found so far..
Lock Screen Notifications. Double Tap to launch doesn't work. Screen just shuts off again.
Bluetooth Pulldown. Pressing the "x" next to a connected device should disconnect. But actually does nothing.
Battery life seems a little poorer
TouchScreen sensitivity issues. Occasionally touchscreen goes a bit nuts and it becomes difficult to type with unintended keys being hit, and becomes difficult to access pulldown menu. Have to reboot to solve.
Minor Wifi issues. I'm getting disconnection issues when I connect to specific public wifi points which didn't occur under oos.
I had an issue with SnapChat being unable to access the camera but I solved this. If you restore from titaniumbackup the camera connect error occurs. If you then wipe cache/data for the SnapChat app and log back in it works fine.

1. You have to 'disable double tap screen on lock screen to lock to sleep' on the settings/bliss settings/lock screen.
Cant help with the other issues though!

Thanks., Tofuboi01 had the right solution. It was a setting in Bliss Settings->Lockscreen
Initial place holder for lineageOS ported rom.
Ported from Vampirefo Life_Max rom
So far same methods to get camera to run on this rom have not worked.
ROM needs bug testing.
so far.
what works.
1. wifi
2. data.
3. gps.
4. microphone.
5. video playback
6. music streaming
NOT working
1. Camera
2. Bluetooth (when paired to BT video plays too fast and sounds like "chipmonk" also same for music- too fast)
work-around is to use mono-bt app. _-It will force stereo BT to play mono , but sound is at correct speed
3. Initial set-up wizzard will crash if you connect to network during set-up. Just skip wifi. I did it without simcard so cant be certain If cell data has same problem.
Of course the more I know the more I will try to update this.
Requirements:
Need to have bootloader unlocked
Need to have TWRP =>Latest TWRP 3.1.1

For the record, GPS is *not* working for me on this current build. Also, setup completes fine over cellular. I also noticed that I am limited to 4G; not connecting to LTE.

I used the "gps test" app the see gps working, the first time connecting sometimes took about 2 minutes while inside. Also but default I see the fps toggle is off.
As for LTE, I'm thinking it's just an icon thing. Because I did a speed test and I'm getting 64M download which is LTE speed not h+ or 4g like it's showing
For lte try this app.

Yeah, I should have done more testing before posting. GPS is working, it just took a little while to get a fix.

Fwiw, I tried encryption. It appeared to go through the process normally but when the timer got to 00:00 it stayed there for roughly two hours until I decided something had gone wrong and gave up.

I have never heard of anyone wanting to encrypt a custom rom, I have zero zero desire to do it, but if I was going to do it, I would modify the boot.img to encrypt on boot just like stock roms do.

I successfully got the build up and going on my device.
I didn't see the note about not connecting to wi-fi during set up, but it seemed to work fine.
GPS seems to be working (the GPS test app shows 5 in use and maps has a circle around me).
My SD card isn't recognized and won't format. I can't figure out how to trigger it again to get the exact error message.
Have not put my SIM card in so haven't tested that stuff yet.
Edit: A reboot fixed the SD Card issue
I'm on T-Mobile. LTE is doing something weird. LTE Discovery app reports me being on Band 1 (wut?) while SignalCheck Lite reports band 4 (as it should).
Icon says "4G".
Coming over the hills into work today, my data connection quit when it should've had LTE (maybe a band 12 issue?).
OpenCamera just says "failed to open camera. Is camera in use by another application?".
Bluetooth definitely has weird sound. How do I force it into mono?
Haven't made/received any phone calls. Had to update the T-Mobile APN to do MMS and Wi-fi hotspot.
Edit: successfully received a phone call and everything went well.
Another note: My "network" is just a bunch of numbers. This is displayed under the "Mobile data" icon in the notification shade and in the upper left on the notification bar. (I would expect it to say "T-Mobile" or something.)

There is no working camera on this build.
bluetooth mono is an app you can find on play-store or f-droid
do not know about the network name, but I do know I had once used an exposed exploit app to modify that name to what ever I wanted it say. So not too big of a problem, I think.

Camera: no problem, I saw on some of the other ROMs that it was almost working so I thought I would just report what happens to me.
Bluetooth: Cool, I'll just look for an app.
Network name: I thought Xposed wasn't available for Nougat yet. Am I wrong? I'll look around and see if there's a Magisk Module to do the same thing. Not a big deal.
By the way, thanks for your work, I'm using it as my daily driver for now! (Got tired of waiting for a root solution on ZTE Zmax Pro.)
Hi, can I use this ROM in my phone as daily driver?
@overthc I did for a while but then I switched to lineage 13 because the camera works on 13

I am, but I'm okay with the camera not working.
Only issues I've had:
Bluetooth listening to music or videos is borked. Supposedly, getting a mono-bluetooth app will help but I haven't had luck (my car keeps thinking I'm constantly on a call).
When I'm using Reddit Is Fun, some gifs start playing Google Play Music in the background for some reason (could be a problem with RIF).
Network name is shown as "310260" instead of "T-Mobile".
Camera doesn't work (as noted already)
On the positive column, it's been fast and stable. Haven't had any crashes or other problems. I'm super happy with it!

Thanks @TheBosZ, Do I wanna know if the celular and data signal is stable? How is the battery consumption? and if there is spontaneous reboots?
To install it just flash the rom and gapps?

Thanks @codyalan I ´d used it but was killing my battery.. so I back to stock.
Cellular and data have been fine. There was a hiccup when I was driving into work the other day where I lost signal when I shouldn't have. I'm not sure that Band 12 is working (I'm on T-Mobile) but LTE seems to be working fine on Band 2 and 4.
I haven't noticed any problems with the battery consumption. I've been using it for a week or so and it lasts me all day.
I haven't had a single unexpected reboot. I have rebooted it a couple of times, but only because I was tinkering with Bluetooth and I wanted to make sure I was in a fresh state each time.

@TheBosZ Good... Did you flash the stock opengapps?

I flashed the micro ARM non-64bit version. I wish I would've flashed stock or something higher than micro so I wouldn't have to uninstall "Mail" and "Browser" and whatnot.
Anyone have substratum working yet??
As we know oneplus X is non VoLTE device so we have to use jio4Gvoice app to use jio Sim for calling purpose.
I am facing issue with jio4gvoice app which is not able to stay connected to network even if it is not optimised in battery setting. It automatically get disconnected after some time. And if it is connected I am not able to receive calls when app is not running in foreground. There is only message notification that you have missed a call.
This app is able to receive call only when application is open on the foreground, but when you clear it from recent the problem will start again.
I tried many solutions like enable GPS, switch off automatic network selection. But none of them is able to resolve the issue.
Now I am frustrated with testing new ROMs of Oreo because this problem is not resolved in any of them.
Due to this problem I am not able to use latest Oreo ROM.
Is there anyone with concrete solution of this problem in our community?

I am also using AOSP 8.1.0 by YumeMichi but I am not facing any problems. Try clean flashing the ROM once again. I faced the above prblem on LOS 15.1

Edit: if this helps then you can try. I'm using Naptime and I have white listed jio4gvoice from it. And I also use L Speed and did the same.

Thanks again. I tried this build also and got same situation with jio4gvoice app. I think naptime and lspeed has to do something with it. I will check and let you know outcome.:good:
Problem resolved.
Just turn on GPS and it will work like a charm. No need to whitelist app in Lspeed or Naptime or any other app. It will work as normal like in any nougat or marshmallow ROM after turning ON GPS.
Didn't in first post you said that Enabling GPS didn't helped? I am also having the same issue. Will let you you know if this resolves it.

Yes I mentioned it in first post. I was facing problem with older ROMs I tested. Solution with "GPS ENABLED ALWAYS" works with new builds of ROMs. I think it might be problem with older ones.
Enabling GPS did solve the Problem.
But Wouldn't GPS drain Battery if it is ON 24x7?
I was happy to flash Latest LOS 15.1 on my OPO.
But this Bug Ruined everything.
Hope there will be a fix out Soon.
Saddest Part is I've Just Replaced My OPO's Battery A few Days Back.
And I'm afraid this Battery will Lose its Full Capacity.
Time to Say Bye Bye to Jio I guess.

You can set the location to Battery Saving, no need to set it to High Accuracy.

Exactly. I use GPS in battery saving mode and it's not that much battery draining compared to high accuracy or device only mode. Which turns out to be daily driver even with jio4gvoice app running.
I tried to use xposed module to make Jio4gvoice app get predefined GPS location without turning GPS on, but not succeeded. If some app with ability to modify system settings or giving fake GPS location can make Jio4gvoice app to run without GPS always enabled. Which can solve battery draining due to it.
If someone finds any app please acknowledge us.
Thanks @SjBathavar for these. It saved my plenty of time.
