Welcome to SLIM ROMS+ for X8
Feel the performance and speed!


The Slim Roms+ for X8 was inspired by tchaari and A_U, so I made it for X8, too.
This was first made for X10 Mini and made it for X8 by sgt.meow's request :)
I don't own X8, so please be sure to tell me how it goes.
The same kind of project is already in progress in Galaxy Mini, Galaxy Ace, X8 etc...
TO BE SURE, I simply removed useless apps, fonts, ringtones that bloat our device. Anyway you can simply download their duplicates from Play Store.
This will save a lot of space in the system, ultimately improving the performance upto some extent.
Try it and you will see :)
Keep up the latest news and information of my ROMs at my OFFICIAL WEBSITE

What makes Slim Roms+ good? Let's find it out![/B]

Features


1. Our phone has very less RAM to run ICS or JB in fully optimised manner. So these ROM's slightly fulfil that requirement. As the apps in these ROM's occupy very less RAM of around, 20 to 30 MB only !

2. Due to less RAM consumption, phone tends to be more responsive, smooth and faster !

3. Overall performance increases roughly around, 5 times !

4. If you are a benchmark believer, then AnTuTu scores were also slightly higher compared to the original ROM's

5. These lite ROM's along with any script like Adrenaline Engine, can boost your performance slightly higher.

6. These ROM's can be used as a daily driver, thanks to nAa and all of his team members!!

7. Slim ROM's have slightly higher battery backup compared to the original ROM's. For me atleast, i.e; with minimal usage the phone lasts around =TESTING

8. So use these ROM's and decide what is best for you.

9. There's nothing great about these ROM's. BUT, their SIZE speaks for them !

OLD VALUE FOR CM10: 131MB
NOW IT IS: 83MB

10. Going into details, I simply removed useless apps, fonts, ringtones that bloat our device. Anyway you can simply download their duplicates from Play Store. This will save a lot of space in the system, ultimately improving the performance upto some extent

11. All the rightful credits are in the second page.

12. All the downloads and download instructions are in the bottom.

13. I have removed bloatware in to the maximum extent possible, but still if you feel there exists such an app which is useless, inform me, I will remove it

14. Finally, I ensure there was no warez used to create these ROM's

15. On a side note I removed all the boot-animations to conserve space. ICS & JB have their own in-built boot-splash. While in CM7 there is no such facility, the screen will be blank, so don't worry you did not brick your phone

16. I AM OPEN FOR YOUR SUGGESTIONS!

Requirements

1. Latest baseband
2. Unlocked bootloader
3. CWM Recovery
4. JB nAa-3 kernel

How-To Install


1. Reflash latest nAa kernel using flashtool
2. Enter CWM
3. Enter mount and storage
4. Select format system then format ext and press back button
5. Select full wipe
6. Select wipe cache
7. Enter advanced
8. Select wipe dalvik cache
9. Select wipe battery stat
10. Now search for the ROM and flash it.
11. Reboot your phone
12. Enjoy !!

Quote from X8 thread:

Quote: Quote: astrone21
Wtf u have permissions for slim all rom? (Like Miui)

And "slim" significte that we can only call and send sms? Lol Its up to the developers, they can give permissions or they can keep their work to themselves with no further modifications... once they have have published it to public, its understood that its free to use and customize it anyway, unless they specially mention it in big bold letters sayin "i will not allow anyone tamper my work".


So I AM NOT STEALING ANYONE'S BLOODY DAMN ROM. This is open-source world, u need to be careful with words.


and my idea is not to make only calls and sms.... some of u got it totally wrong.

u can install the applications that i removed from ROM's from play store... what's the point in slowing down the phone [though lag is insignificant], which already has such less ram.. ?if we had at least 512 Mb RAM, I wouldn't care to touch any ROM, least "slim" it...
So u can install the apps that i deleted, in the partition or sd card or whatever.... this saves a lot of space in system, which MAY help the heavy application/game run slightly smoother bcoz of availability of memory..

HOPE MY POINT IS CLEAR..

You.. are... THE MAN. Excellent work. A ROM very smooth. However, I can't move apps to SD. Also, the space to install apps is a little low. Anything else, excellent.

Hi I used your JB slim rom. It was quite fast in all the way. But sometimes my phone doesn't respond when it locked it stood blank. So what should I do to solve that problem. But I liked your rom very much. Sorry for my bad English.
