DC07 is at it again with ANOTHER CyanogenMod 7 based ROM and this time, he brings us Slim CM7.This is a port of another ROM of a Galaxy Mini so there might be some issues so I recommend his other ROM MiniCM
INTRO
SLIM SERIES ROM's for Young are inspired by the famous SLIM-ROM's by tchaari for all the High-end phones like, Nexus, S3 etc.So I decided to emulate the ROM's for our Young too.
Some big plus points or Observations according to me, from these highly-compressed and lite ROM's are =
Plus Points
1. Our phone has very less RAM to run GB 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 The Jellaxy Team !
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 =
Slim CM7 = 1day 13hours <--------- "Not really that great when Hyperion 8 GM Final lasts up to 2 days,
well before it bricked my phone when applying a live wallpaper"-SamDeniably
8. There's nothing great about these ROM's. BUT, their SIZE speaks for them !
Slim CM7 = 52 Mb
9. Going into details, he 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 up to some extent
10. He also wished to notify that, in future along with removal of bloatware, there might be significant changes in kernel specifically compiled for these minimal ROM's. He is still learning about Android so no promises, as this is all a pure-hobby, like everyone else's.
11. He had removed bloatware in to the maximum extent possible, but still if you feel there exists such an app which is useless, inform me, he will remove it
12. Finally,he ensured there was no warez used to create these ROM's
13. On a side note he removed all the boot-animations to conserve space. the screen will be blank, so don't worry you did not brick your phone
