I've noticed a pattern. Other than CM13, all of my 6.0+ roms compile successfully (eventually) but fail to actually run on the device. I am really not sure why this is, so I've been doing some research. One of the things that seems ambiguous to me, is which version …

Success!

Let's take a look:

[CODE]
Finding vertex sequence...
Removing backward edges...
0/0 dependencies (0.00%) were violated; 0 source blocks removed.

Just like we saw the other day, compiling is not always a simple task. At least, not for a simpleton like myself. A knowledgeable or intelligent person would simply go through everything and set everything up proper prior to the first run. I do try to do that, but evidently …

By all acounts it was a happy sight to see the below in my terminal:

[CODE]
using prebuilt boot.img from BOOTABLE_IMAGES...
boot size (6862848) is 65.45% of limit (10485760)

Just another simple SlimRoms boot animation. I use Gimp to make each frame, and then zip them together like so:

\$ zip -r -0 ./SlimHD.zip ./part0
\$ zip -r -0 ./SlimHD.zip ./part1
\$ zip -r -0 ./SlimHD.zip ./desc.txt

Where -r means recursive, and -0 means no compression.

And so the epic journey to compile SlimMM for the JFLTETMO continues....

As God has been very gracious to me in allowing me to compile some different roms for the Samsung Galaxy S4 T-mobile variant (JFLTETMO SGH-M919) phone, I decided to try out compiling AOKP5. I am still working on the SlimMM Rom, but I thought I'd switch it up a bit …

So I have an excerpt of my error log here from the previous build. It is a bit lengthy. One of the things about Android compiling that is interesting to me, is that you are compiling multiple parts at the same time. That being said, at the bottom is the …

Well, since God was gracious enough to allow me to complete a working compilation of SlimRoms 5.1.1 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 T-mobile variant (JFLTETMO SGH-M919), I decided it was time to try to compile a SlimRoms 6.0 ROM as well. There is not an up-to-date branch …

Today I started work on compiling Slimrom 6 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 T-mobile (JFLTETMO SGH-M919). There currently isn't an up to date branch for the JFLTETMO phone in the Slimrom repository, so my chances of success may be slim (pun intended). However, it has to start somewhere, so I …
