Under system settings - developer options - lcd density. Double check right on this forum near the beginning but I believe default setting is 320 that you want.

As far as instagram goes I don't use it for editing, just to upload. I edit my photos with photo zoom fx or photo editor and they work fine.

Question.. anyone having trouble with the camera not showing display of what you are trying to take a picture of? Camera works just not showing anything
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
This is the first report I have gotten on this.

Also when you first install the ROM (this goes for all aosp ROMS) before clicking "start" on the welcome screen. Let the device acquire signal, then go through the set up process, setting up WiFi and gmail account. Doing it this way will stop the activate screen from happening on reboot.

This was moved, under system settings-interface-general UI
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oryanh:
I was having this issue as well. I first noticed it while on vacation (taking lots of pics) what I was doing was opening the camera app from the lock screen (slide left) then taking a pic, (worked fine) then sleeping the phone with the pwr button. Then when I'd wake the phone, and slide left again, the screen wouldn't show the image as you stated in the camera app. I found the "backing" out of the app before sleeping the phone mitigated the problem. However after the wipe wipe wipe and update ritual to 2.8 it hasn't been a problem.

Just my 2 cents. Have you wiped cache/dalvik?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
Some commits to display were merged by CM last night. Hot boots and display freezing you may have experienced seem to be gone. Code freeze on 2.9 happens today for slim, but I hot these in as soon as I woke up ;)

Anyone having GPS issues???
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
what do u mean by issue(s)?

can u be more specific? maybe i can help u out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] whoisariston:
The instagram blinking issue has to do with the HW Overlay setting in the Developer options.

Systems Settings -> Developer Options -> Disable HW overlays

Check the box and the blinking will stop at that point. I had to do some Google searches to find that fix. The downside is that it does not stay after a reboot so you will need to check the box again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
The upgrade from 2.8 to 2.9 was the smoothest yet, Cordell, Well done, lad!

This time my accounts stuck, as did most of my apps and settings. I did have to restore a couple apps from Titanium, but getting better all the time.

Here's another $10 as a token of my appreciation:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RoboJoe:
I'm the exact opposite. 2.9 won't finish booting the first time, nor any subsequent time. MD5 check is good. Reflashing 2.8 results in a successful boot.

I'm not running the default kernel that comes with the ROM, but I don't think that would be an issue.

Boot recovery

Wipe cache

Wipe dalvik

Flash zip

Reboot

Any thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
Hmmm maybe one of your cache wipes didn't? Try wiping both caches again, then flashing 2.9 again.

FWIW I'm using KT kernel, I'd used IMoseyon's for a long time, but I seem to be doing just a better on the 747
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
i dont know whats the extent of the info on ur phone, but i would suggest a complete wipe for best results. i know it may seem tedious but in the long run u get better results.

KT is the best for this ROM

. i dont know what exactly is in the kernel but they go together flawlessly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kufikugel:
if you run in such issues please do a full wipe with format system and for first with stock kernel. After that you can try another.

cheers

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maurogg84:
Is anyone getting screen flickering out of the box, just when you are looking at the home launcher, but when I'm on any other app it doesn't happen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
Yes, I am seeing this sporadically too.

Because of a number of other unrelated issues, I wound up having to do a full wipe. Not that I'm sorry I donated to Cordell again or anything :laugh: he da man. I'll keep a watch on the flicker, but yea I was pretty bugged out about it. Then again too, I'm underclocked and fairly undervolted, so I wasn't sure that didn't contribute to that. Nevertheless, let's see if it's any better after a full wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
Up min CPU to 486, I'll either recompile or upload a flashable to correct the flicker. But at 486 min you see no flicker at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oryanh:
Just my 2 cents but I think a couple of reasons why KT is ideal for this ROM is, for one, the KTweaker app is unique and helps in maintaining governor and MHz settings. Also, Ktoon is ahead of the game and always has been; currently on a .49 Linux build whilst the other offerings are sitting at .46 at best, this guy is prompt.

The only other kernel I would consider would be Fransisco Franco, the guy is a machine. Too bad he's not developing for the SIII.

Another reason: KToonsez develops for the SIII and not spinning plates with 30 other devices... he's focused. :cyclops:

...maybe one day it KT747 will be baked into Slim....

Wink wink...

EDIT: oh and get this... twice this has happened where I've flashed Slim, and became a little disappointed in the build compared to the previous (speed and such) only to face/palm and remember I forgot to Flash KT... boom, awesome again...

- yup, that too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bL33d:
is there low volume in camcorder? i did a search but didnt find anything.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oryanh:
I second that... I recently have been adopting the notion of hurry to rest (or process quickly then sleep longer) theory, so Ive been using the higher min CPU of 486... the flicker has stopped... I hadnt noticd... good tip, thanks. Also, I figure, what's the harm in 486 when it runs fine at the some mv as 384... this should give better batt performance than 384 in this scenario.

I'm going to try this bad boy out. I notice its a small file compared to other ROM's. Is it okay to use Justin bean inverted 4.1.2 AOSP G-apps?

Thanks guys can't wait to go home charge have a smoke and flash away
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
not to my understanding. ive recorded tons of video with the volume i set it at. is that something you're experiencing?

another great reason to use the KTweeker App that comes with the kernel. :highfive:

as long as its full AOSP your good. ive mixed and matched a few times with no issues. just be sure to make a nand, you never know. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
The only problem I have in 2.9 is the same one I had in 2.7. Its the messaging. When it shows up in the notification bar it only shows half of the quick reply and call buttons until I swipe down. I had to go back to my backup for 2.8

You could always try the inverted slim aio. Its better than all the others, imo.

Incredible rom :)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
dirty flash, yes and no. some are having success and some are not. always make your back-ups!

gapps, there is a gapps back-up script, but if you format system before flashing ROM it deletes this script. Personally I re-flash gapps every time ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
Cordell, awesome ROM and love the AIO real dark slim package as well. Nice work! Thanks for all you do!

Have a solution for flicker will upload this evening. For now please up min CPU clock to 486.!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
to play off of what cordell is saying.....

i know a few are going to be like..."how do i do that, i dont know how to mess with that?" its very easy ill explain.

1 - download KTweaker Kernel found here

2 - flash it as you would any other kernel from your recovery menu

3 - open up the KTweaker App that was magically installed on your device when you flashed the kernel.

4 - under the General Section > CPU Governor slide the MIN level to 486.

5 - click ok/apply then reboot your device

6 - flicker is now gone / rom is still badass and in tact, your life is saved.

:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foreverinpanama:
Tada, magic.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eris72:
^ can also change it via settings - ->performance - - > processor speed, if you don't want to change kernels
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
true.

but i figured to get optimal performance, youd flash the alt kernel.

the KTweaker kernel has been proven to give optimal performance so why not flash it ya know. to each is own tho.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
The only reason I dont flash kernels is cause I dont over or underclock. Do you think it'd be pointless to flash it and just leave it as is or just keep the kernel that slim comes with?

Tap'n
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oryanh:
I don't over/under clock, but the real benefits of a kernel (made for the hardware its running on) come from the better/newer inherent drivers effecting important stuff WiFi, etc. Not to mention custom governers built for the kernel.

Give it a go, you won't be dissapointed. ...just don't fall into the falice of over-clocking just because its there... you likely dont need it, and it will use more battery, if not running at the same mv at the lesser MHz.

Do it do it do it.... :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
Cordell, please forgive if you're seeing this twice - I replied to a PM but the message doesn't appear to be in my sent, so I'm not sure if you saw this or not:

I have a small request that would be huge (for me) if you could get into the next build: In CM10 there's a setting to go back to the old style status bar icons for network/signal, that is, have the 1x/3g/4g icon beside the signal bars instead of overlayed on top of them.

It'd be stellar if you could get that baked in as an ASS option... any chance?

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
Why is everyone beating up my CM kernel, lol. Its compiled with the ROM (inline) and is up to date, always. To each their own I guess :)

I have thought about setting up the KT kernel for inline compile but the extra app has me on the fence...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
The included kernel really is pretty decent as-is, but I'm getting ridonculous battery life with the KT kernel (surely due to UC/UV).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] oryanh:
I plead ignorance...

I really never gave yours a chance... I suck... flashing it today, er, Monday. :o

2.9 problem

I tried to do a dirty install of 2.9 over 2.8 but it did not work. It boots and performs the "android is upgrading" but after it says "Starting apps" it reboots automatically and never finishes rebooting. A battery pull and reset never gets past the boot logo either.

So I restored my nandroid, wiped data and tried again. I successfully booted into 2.9. However, when I restored my apps with Titanium and rebooted I encountered the same problem. It does not boot.

Some app or setting on my phone that is restored from Titanium is incompatible with 2.9. I only restored the white, yellow and green items from the TB list.

Could someone give me any idea as to what changed in 2.9 from 2.8 besides the settings listed on the changelog? Or any suggestions on what I should try next? I have run out of ideas. Any help would be appreciated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
titanium is ur problem.

time and time again, users complain of a rom not working, it simply just not playing well with a newly flashed ROM...think about it, you think the DEV is gonna release something that corrupts the system to make it inoperable?

fresh start...whatever was lost can be re-entered.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] fz798:
I use TB all the time to restore items after flashing. You're both probably right in that it's something TB is restoring, but it's not TB itself.

Try this: Flash 2.9 but don't immediately restore stuff from TB. Login to your Google account, get the phone set up on the new ROM and once it's working, then begin pulling stuff back using TB, but do so slowly, and only take back those things that you're absolutely sure you need. When possible, restore "data only", not the app+data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
OK, so HERE is a Patch for Flicker @ clock speed lower than 486 mhz. Load Patch to SD Card, reboot recovery, flash the patch, wipe cache and dalvik cache, reboot system. Make a back-up somewhere in the mix of that too!

fyi...i think i have fixed the issue with flickering (non hack style), though it will be included in 3.0 as its a whole ROM that is needed not just a patch. for now please either use the patch above or raise the min CPU clock speed to 486 as discussed in previous posts. These solutions will eliminate the flicker in home launcher.

Thanks for your patience ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SoCalSpecialist:
like what?

the DPI level being off? - because you havent set it to a higher value, of about 318 or 320

ESPN Score Center with white notifications? - thats the app. i have the same issue, it needs to be updated
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] techgov8:
Im getting it to only show half of the quick reply and call button on text notifications. I have my dpi set at 280. What else could be the problem? I had to go back to 2.8 cause it was so bothersome.

No 4g

Hi.

After rooting and installing this, I can't seem to get 4G to work. I have done full wipes and cache clears, but still no 4G. If I go back to stock, then I get 4g. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really REALLY love this ROM and want to stay on it. (Until the 4.2 ROM hits!)

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
Well, use GPS status from market (Play Store) and you will see how many sats your phone sees. If it is something like 0/4-4/4 then yes you need this, if not the NFC fix you already flashed had the GPS fix in it already.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dovigoldberger:
Just on a side note I just got the hyperion 4200 mah battery and the first cycle on the battery is 18 hours with almost 7 hours of screen time full brightness GPS on the whole time Bluetooth on %50 of the time 1 1/2 hours of talk time, played a game (9 innings 2013) for an hour and 10 minutes

I don't have expirence with this batteries on other ROMs so I don't know if this is called good or not but I think for the first cycle with such heavy use its pretty good

Does anyone else have this battery ? Is this called good or does it usually last longer ?

Dovigoldberger answered in post right below you, I also quoted him for you. BTW "stock DPI" for our device is 320.

I am looking into this now. Have you tried to pull the browser from CM to see if they work on both sides when installed onto Slim?

EDIT..I just pulled and installed stock browser from AOKP. Same thing happens, left side works but not the right. I have a hunch it is related to the DPI being set at 241 instead of "stock" 320, rebooting at 320 DPI now. And I was right, I set my DPI for 320, rebooted and now have Quick Controls on Both Side of browser. However I am willing to loose the right side for a smaller DPI, everything looks funny while set at the 'stock" 320!

Your best bet is to flash the AIO (all in one) package. This has all gapps and all extras such as stock email, face unlock, and other things of that nature.

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewcategory/91-addons-full-packages

A final version? Never, AOSP is constantly improving! Invest $5 in the app Titanium BackUp, you can back up all your DATA (not system data) such as games, login info to apps, amongst other things. It is a great tool but must be used carefully, when you start backing up system data and restoring it things can go south in a hurry!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droided1:
Appreciate response. I flashed gapps and it wasn't there. Will try all in one package.
