OK guys here is slimrom 5.0.2. Please read everything in here everything. OK slim ROM is dead. They swear its not but things are not looking up. Now before everyone asks yes I know slimrom is on 5.1 but not there CAF tree which is needed for qcom devices. Now the bad part. This has practically no features. It has more features then stock cm12.1 and if you want to use xposed you'll be fine. Don't complain about missing features I know. It has more features than stock though. I will not update this unless they do. There's no point if the ROMs dead. If slim updates you let me know. If you want slim features try AICP. I've removed the link but only because I Ned to fix some things and bring back some mixing features. Now here's the ROM.

ROM:https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347772108
MD5: ba1cd40b006c03e1ee5433e2c4a29d4e

IF YOU HAVE A ROM REQUEST JUST ASK ID LOVE TO TRY.

So, in the spirit of the way I used to set things up on XDA, I'm going to add this to help the OP out:

OFFICIAL Q&A

1. What version of Android is this?
Android 5.0, do not ask for 5.1, as the CAF tree isn't available to build it [yet]

2. Can you add [feature]?
No, Slimrom was designed to be just that: slim. Therefore, it's kind of like a glorified CM in terms of simplicity. If you would like a more elaborate ROM, please use Blisspop, AICP, etc.

3. How often will this be updated?
Basic Android community rule: Never ask for ETAs...

4. Can you also build [ROM-name-here]?
Please do not use this thread to ask for another ROM, as it bloats the thread with useless space that could have been otherwise used to compliment the dev on THIS project or answer a question (no offense). There is a ROM request thread for the ZMAX here on AF, please reference that.

5. I'm coming from another LP ROM, can I flash this?
Yes

6. I'm coming from Butternoob, can I flash this?
Yes, but keep in mind that if you plan on going back to BN, you will need to flash the sensor zip located in Hroark13's CM12.1 thread I believe

Yea its an overworked best now. May need to upgrade ram or something soon

8GB of RAM is like $50 on Amazon, 16GB is like $95 (all depends on what you want). Also consider upgrading the space, 1TB HDDs will run you around $60, and there is a Seagate 2TB slim USB drive (2.5", 9mm) drive that you can take the drive out of and place it in your MacMini. I think I've told you my setup before, but that 16GB and 2TB was the best $150 I've ever spent, breathed new life into my MBP.

Amd fx8320 runs for 150 ,I belive ...( oc and you have a beats of machine ) and don't waste your money on 32gb of ram is not worth the extra bucks but just for bragging right z[/QUOTE]

HI!!!!!!!
Uhhhhhh.... Is this solid?.... I took note long ago about a lack of switch/restore zipparoos..... And was wondering...
If it were worthy of my Almighty ZMAX (say it with an echo and do spirit hands!!!!!!!)
Because... Of course.. I don't think you'd make poop and not have it worthy...
I just want to know if it'll float the boat and not be too much of a mystery cruise... Just wondering... Plus I wanted to bump this.. So it'll stay on the first page...
It's worthy I'm betting..... YES!!!!!!!!!
it's also TOO EARLY to be awake... Hmmmmmmmmm......
