Every time I install a new build it seems like a new sdcard is created with the directory name '0'. Each '0' directory seems like it is its own sdcard. Could I be doing something wrong when I install? I'm using TWRP. The following is how the directory structure of these folder look >> /sdcard/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0/0.

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
The "directories" under /mnt and at the root (/) are just symbolic links. The actual external sdcard file system should be under /storage/sdcard1.

Most likely possibilities are that the symbolic links got messed up in the upgrade or that your microsd card is having issues. Have you tried removing it and reading it with a pc or other device?

Certain apps seem to expect the file systems at particular points and not very good at finding them. I have never had much success at having TB finding my backups on my external card and always have to re-enter the full path every time I wipe my phone.

If you have a terminal emulator on your phone, see what the command:

mount | grep sdcard1

returns. If it does not list the file system, the card is not being mounted and likely corrupt.

Yes, I did a full format. (I was under the impression from the slimroms.net install guide that all that was required was cache & dalvik,) All that was on the system after start-up was the default apps, and theme.

Well derp. Updated, works like a champ.

For future reference, is there any way to tell what android version is supported by an app? I know that if there are compatibility issues the developer will note that a fix has been made. But barring that kind of notation, is there any other way to tell?

Only one zero directory should be created at the time of the first upgrade to JB. The others were created because you are using an old, incompatible recovery (or at least it's usually why it happens). If you haven't, update your recovery. After that you can deal with getting your filing structure correct; the easiest way being to save your stuff elsewhere and reformat the internal SD.

Running Slim Bean 4.2 Build and I'm not sure if this is supposed to work. I tried to turn on cLock with the weather info, etc with a PIN turned on.

Try removing all the lockscreens you can and then reapply the clock and weather. Then see if you can hold down and slide the original lockscreen up to remove it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jamng:
I've delete them, etc. and re-applied. It looks like it deletes them as they're blank slates then. I think it'd tied to my company's exchange policy where I have to have a PIN....so I can't disable it to see if that is the problem.

Can't Get my LTE to work

Hi Guys,

I putted this rom on my S3 I747m (Canadian Carrier) and I can't get LTE to work at all.

Here's what I tried to do...

I went on my Carrier's website (FIDO) and got all the APN Settings from there.

Before flashing the rom, I was on stock, so I took all the APN setting from stock too and wrote them down.

When I flashed the rom, I only had 3G (that's what it was saying), so I went into my connection settings, and saw that the APN settings were not the same as the one in stock. So I proceeded to change them.

then I changed the selected prefered network mode to be LTE/GSM/WCDMA

I restarted my phone and I am connected to the network (signal bars) but no internet connection.

I checked again in APN settings, and I realized that my FIDO LTE settings I configured was not selected, so I selected and deleted any other APN settings that were there.

I restarted my phone again, and still no Internet connection. I made sure that my APN settings were selected and all. But still nothing.

I'm running out of ideas. If you can help me that would be awesome.

Here are my carrier's LTE settings

Name: Fido LTE

APN: ltemobile.apn

MMSC: http://mms.fido.ca

MMS Proxy: 205.151.11.13

MMS Port: 80

Thank you

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] eduardo_b:
Ah, a possible solution. Is this related to CM changes back on the 19th regarding how graphics are processed? I look at change logs but can't tell if these have been merged into current ROM releases, including Slim. I'm migrating five devices (two I747s, one I897 (Galaxy S), a Nexus 7 and Tab2 7) from Carbon, PA and CM to Slim. Only the S3s seem to have issue...I think.

I thought I read all search results in thread for HW overlay, but must have missed the one you provided. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Threezees:
There's a flashable zip posted a few pages back that fixes the flickering and sticks, if that's the reason you want to disable HW overlays.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] basily:
OK, so I just came over from a SGS Captivate, also running Slim. I'm loving this phone and this ROM on it. I briefly thought I would stay on stock for a bit... that lasted a few hours!

I'm new to this forum, and I am reading everything... but there's a LOT to read (I'm on page 31 right now). And people like to talk about the flicker over and over and over... So I apologize if my issue has already been addressed, but so far in my reading I have not found mention.

What's the deal with the sdcard in recovery? I can't mount it. I did a nandroid backup, and I see that it's there (because it's listed in recovery when I go to "backup and restore">"delete"), but for the life of me, I have NO idea where the backup is actually stored! I can't find it when the phone is booted and running, but in recovery it's listed as being in "sdcard/clockworkmod/backup". If I go to "mounts and storage" it appears that /sdcard won't mount. If I try to "install zip from sdcard" and "choose zip from sdcard" I get a very brief directory listing, which includes my clockworkmod backup, but very little else that's ACTUALLY on my sdcard.

So, what am I missing here?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jpcdeux:
The 0 directory. Backup to external SD and then read about how 10.1, etc organizes your file system
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 1weener:
A zero directory was created when you flashed to this ROM and your stuff was supposed to be transferred into that folder by default, and that is what you are looking at in recovery. Perhaps that process didn't occur like it should have. I would fix it by taking my data off of the internal SD and then format it in recovery and re-flash the ROM, and then put your stuff back on it with the new file structure already intact. Be sure you don't have your backups and the ROM on the internal SD since you are going to wipe it.

Been going through the changelogs on Slim ROMs website and noticed the following fix on Slim 4.2.2 build 2 : A2DP streaming sound quality fixes

Was wonderring if that solves all BT streaming issues that all 4.2.x ROMs have been affected by.

Are there any BT remaining issues with respect to music streaming?

This is the only thing that kept me from flashing Slim on my S3.

Also, will my exFAT formatted 64Gb SD card be recognized or is exFAT not supported at all?

Off topic but I don't see any reason to upgrade from an S3 to an S4. This device has good enough specs to be upgraded through android so does the development stay as good as it currently is. The S4 to S3 is like the iPhone 4S to the 4.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:
Except a 1.9 quad core and full 1080p screen. But the 5" screen is a drawback for me, I'll prbly go with the new HTC one. [/off topic]
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blk_jack:
The S3 to S4 is as much of an upgrade as the One X to the One. Any yearly upgrade is going to seem minor. To some, having a completely different feeling device is very important -- see most positive reviews of the HTC One. I like the design of the S3 though. I like the way it's curved to fit better in the hand (than the One), I like that it's plastic and takes falls better and isn't as fragile as other devices. I love that I can use the home button to wake and unlock the device. I like hardware buttons because they can be re-binded and re-purposed.

Ultimately an upgrade is an upgrade. If you're not on contract you can get about $300 for your S3 assuming it's in mint condition, so then the device becomes ~$300 and for some people who use & reply on their mobile device a lot, that's not a big deal. At this point any CPU/ram upgrade is not going to be felt as much as it used to. Waiting until next year is still going to get you diminishing returns compared to past upgrade performance improvements.

Next year we may not have the option for a removable battery and microsd slot in a flagship device. That may be a thing of the past and for all we know the S4 may be one of the last high-end devices to have those options.

What it comes down to is this, though: Faster CPU, faster RAM, better GPU, more battery life, better/bigger screen & better camera. Not sure what people are *****ing about when they talk about it not being much of an upgrade. With the exception of some insane breakthrough in battery tech, what kinds of improvements do they think they're going to get? In terms of having a new/original looking device, the HTC One looks almost identical to the Blackberry Z10, but I guess that's the kind of style people are attracted to.

The 5" screen could be considered a drawback if it made the S4 a lot larger. The S4 is smaller than the S3.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Heisenberg420:

The HTC one speaker system is what really appeals to me... I'll prbly go with that if I can weasel my way out of an upgrade fee. From what I've read the ones speakers are pretty incredible
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blk_jack:
As someone who mutes or lowers his volume on every notification/ringtone, I can't say front speakers mean much to me. I also rarely consume media on my phone -- that's what my TV is for (or tablet when in a pinch).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Brooklynsour:
Yea I remember hearing my s3 once upon a time ago (fell in toilet on 4/5th day owning it-on its own from vibes off shelf) it was pretty loud so I can't say I would switch phones for a 'louder' speaker... Plus at my age now I use headphones more lol.... I have not looked at specs on the HTC but can't see switching from s3 to an other HTC phone (had surround a while ago) before my skyrocket)

But yea what I read the ram is double and new processor is dope(every year new tech...) the camera is a 12 back and 2.1 front which is pretty appealing and what blkjack said screen bigger but phone smaller is dope I think plus the full HD.... I do hope ur wrong about the memory cards its such a useful option I think plus gives some variety on what to have on phone...

I do agree upgraded from s3-s4 seems like iPhone 4-4s...
