Finally got bored with stock and flashed slim a few days ago and I must say that this ROM is rock solid. Had 4.2.2 slim on my captivate a little while back which was bare bones and rather featureless. I'm impressed with how many have been added since then. The only issue that is bothering me is when on calls and I have to key in numbers, my keypad disappears! This weird quirk was also occurring with stock jelly so not blaming the ROM. Anyone else experiencing this and if so, is there a fix? Another thing I noticed aside from GPS not working which has been stated a million times, but in the power menu there is no option to reboot into download or recovery mode. Why was this feature omitted? Anyhow that's all I can complain about thus far. Great work guys and gals

EDIT: are Facebook notifications working for anyone? None of mine are coming through. Also, I was looking for a slim Q&A thread but couldn't find one. Feel like a noob posting dumb questions in dev section

Never had keys disapear on me and GPS fix is easy just search the thread and for the reboot menu just go to about phone click the build number a few times to enable dev options then go into dev options and advanced reboot menu is in the just turn it on it is turn off by default as a security think
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
I am not concerned about fixing GPS as I never use it. However, I can say I messed with gpsfix just to see if it would work and for some reason, I had issues syncing Gmail/talk. Talk wouldn't even open and I lost the blue colors in my wifi/signal icons in status bar indicating connection so I reflashed and haven't bothered again

I am on Rogers and can absolutely 100% confirm that when connected via LTE slimbean will display 4G... Was staring at the phone the last time I made the statement, and am again. At least it calls all flavours of HSPA H or H+. Bottom line, if you don't see 4G, and you are in an area with LTE coverage, you have something messed up config wise. If you see 4G, all is good.

Does not really matter what they call it as all the bloody carriers marketing weasels lie and rebrand stuff all the time. There is an official IEE definition of 2G. 3G, and 4G. There is almost no correlation between these definitions and what carriers call stuff.

If you are really bothered, hack the ROM and replace the string "4G" with "LTE"... :)

Can't wait to see the confusion with the next crop of phones and "LTE Max"....

external sd card format?

Does anyone know if the external sd card can be formatted in anything but FAT and still be recognized and usable?

Igster, good to see you.

First post on the S3 (nexus guy). Which kernel are people using? Ktoonz? Stock slim?

I'm having issues with my status bar. I keep losing my clock and battery icon. Flashed a few times. One caveat is I have to run unrooted . For you think that would cause that issue?

Hey there. How do I make it so that everything appears bigger? Everything seems super tiny. Also, where do I adjust the drawer/home screen size from 7x7 to something smaller?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 12packabs:
Settings > Interface > General > LCD Density.

The drawer or home screen grid depends on which launcher you are using. I use Nova and that is in Nova Settings.

You should spend some time looking around in Settings and getting to know the ROM. Lots of great stuff in there.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] basily:
OK, I'll answer my own question, in case someone wants to know now, or in the future. No. It would appear from my experiments that the external sd card must be FAT.

However, using USB OTB Helper (app) I was able to automatically mount all partitions of a flash drive partitioned in FAT, NTFS, ext2, and even ext4. No external power required. Pretty cool.

As far as I can tell from reading a bunch of threads, SlimBean has OTG support. Some folks have stated that "it just works", when they plug USB sticks into a OTG cable. I am obviously missing some step/option/clue as I cannot figure out how to see a USB stick and as far as I can tell nothing is getting mounted when a USB stick is connected to the cable. I am using a known good USB stick, that is formated as vfat. Of course, the OTG cable could be defective.

This is step 1, of gettig my son a working setup for game controllers for his S3.

Any pointers, links or clues gratefully appreciated... :)

Lol. Good One. But honestly its not the person but the GPS. I have it on 3 GS3s in my family and all of them have GPS issues. Other than that its amazing ROM. i tried the workaround. Still it searches for Satellites but gets none. The other day it got some satellites locked and was working good for 5 mins and half way it said GPS signal lost. I was on a Freeway with 5 lanes open sky driving through Houston :)

:cowboy: but like I mentioned Slim Roms are the most stable of all and the Devs are awesome :good::highfive: dont act funny like some (you know know) and be like "what are you talking about i am not facing that issue" and so on.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] basily:
I worked through a lot of issues to get it working back when I was still using my Captivate, and one key issue could certainly affect the S3. I bought 2 (or 3?) OTG cables, and all were difficult to plug in properly. Check this: when you plug in the micro-usb connector of your OTG cable into your phone, does the plastic casing come flush to the phone? It could be, as it was for me, that it's not going in far enough and being blocked by too much plastic on the plug. Grab an exacto knife and trim a mm of plastic from the phone end of your OTG cable. See if that does it.

Other than that, if I plug in my FAT formated stick, it show up in Settings>Storage>USB Storage>USB STORAGE. It mounts automatically at /storage/usbdisk0 (if I remember right). Installing the free app "USB OTG Helper" makes it so I can also plug in sticks with different formats, and even with several partitions. Good luck!

I flashed this ROM the other day, and it's working great. A noob question, though: On their site (http://www.slimroms.net/), they have some themes and add-ons. I flashed a couple of the downloads (after a cache wipe), but I don't see the themes in the settings menu. How are these to be installed? Thanks.

How does the Android Open Collective have anything to do with Slim?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jdagreek:
Not sure ?

Not sure I think it maybe where others are taking Slim and using it as their base ...

I was just guessing that since other ROM similar like the LiquidSmooth they look very similar but they give credit to Slim ... Very confusing ...

Share please ...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Babydollll:
You mean AOSP (android open source project)

MANY ROMs are based on it.

Liquid and Carbon are based on Slim which is based on AOSP

Ok man ... I cam from a Stock ROM TDR which they are very good ... I wanted more control I then was looking at something like AOKP like PAC Man or Paranoid Android ... then I went to Liquid Smooth ...

I found my perfect solution here with SlimBean build 5 ....

The only thing I would change is to maybe is PIE options ? UI Custimization of PIE !!!

Thanks guys !!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] oddspec:
There is already a few slimpie options but blkjack said more to come in future builds so stay tuned
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Babydollll:
Technically, yes.

However, when your add framework changes like Touch wiz and Sense it's no longer considered an AOSP ROM.

Unrestricted hotspot still not connecting to laptop...

Hey all,

Under the stable versions of 4.1.2 the hotspot feature worked great.

However, under 4.2.1 stable, the hotspot cannot finish authenticating with a Win7 laptop.

I saw that there was a similar hotspot issue under 4.2.1, build 1, and that the issue was supposed to be resolved in build 2.

Was this issue resolved under 4.2.1 stable? Or was it fixed in the subsequent 4.2.2 builds?

If it was resolved, are there any particular configuration / setting changes to help the hotspot actually connect with another device?

As always, many thanks to Devs who donate their time and energy to the community!

Guys, the answer is in this thread and many others. If you had searched with the word "GPS" you would have found the answer.

Take a nandroid backup of this ROM. Next, restore or install a ROM with working GPS. Open Maps, let the GPS lock. Without closing Maps, boot directly into recovery and restore Slim.

I use power amp if that makes any difference. Thx in advance
