That's not an issue for me, I've nandroided back to beta 2 probably 10 times over the last two days because I've been trying to get xposed to install. Never gotten a fc. I've nandroided back to beta 2 with no apps installed and with it fully set up with probably 40 apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CyberGmonster:
Hmmm.. could it be because I was flashing 4.1.2 TW roms then restoring back to 4.3? Not sure what it could be. Everything was perfect until I nandroid back to 4.3 from TW.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n3td3v:
I smell 4.3. beta build 3 cooking!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Will32:
Not sure what your problem is, all I know is that before I restore I always factory reset, wipe system, and wipe internal storage.

---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 PM ----------

Edit, wiping system and factory reset are probably not required as they get overwritten with restore. The reason I wipe internal storage is because of the the zero folder creation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
Switching from tw to aosp wipe EVERYTHING including internal storage. Just to make sure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Yes I actually wiped twice for each, system, data, cache, and dalvic. I installed it 3 times because the first two times I didn't realize I had a bad gapps download. I always wipe good and I never restore any data unless the ROM is stable for a couple days. All my apps were freshly installed because I didn't read the post about titanium backup being set as, um something. Set backup & restore as legacy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Wow. Ok. I guess if it persists the only thing left is a fresh wipe/reinstall with the settings for titanium fixed. We should be getting a build 3 real soon anyhow. I'd just wait until build 3 if the Freezing ceases to be a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Yeah I'm gonna hold out until the next build. It's not unbearable to use it while it freezes but I couldn't run this as a dd for too long. I seen that alot of new things have been introduced to the new build to come, so I can definitely wait for that. I never changed my TiBu settings but also haven't restored anything neither so I would assume, that would not be a problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:

Liking the new build but I still can't get xposed framework installed. Stuck at boot animation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
is there anyway to change the lock screen icon back to stock? i tried the one i found on the website but it didnt take. i did try and install it when i installed the rom though...could this have been the cause?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] montecarlo5:
Yeah, try to install it after you've set the phone up. Then reboot to recovery and flash it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
Odd it says success but nothing changes. Also is there a way to add locks Creek shortcuts and change the wallpaper?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Will32:
Don't think the lock screen tweaks are implemented yet, at least I can't find them.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] montecarlo5:
thats weird it didn't change, i've attached the i use and it works every time for me. as for your shortcut, not sure never tried one, as for wallpaper, you can change it to whatever you want from either settings/display/wallpaper or through your home launcher options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
And This one works on beta 3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] montecarlo5:
it has worked on every build of slim bean for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrows83:
You can also backup your APN from TW using APN Backup & Restore. Then delete the APN from Slimkat and restore your backed up one. Worked for me.:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] manso1102:
Anyone noticed the new Google camera from the play store doesn't play nice with this Rom? I downloaded it a couple of times and after a couple of shots it just freezes up....wondering if it's just me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
did you flash the fix from their site? http://bit.ly/1tgeg6s
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrows83:
I installed the "fix" but it freezes after I take a photo. Then I get the "cannot connect camera" issue. Am I suppose to replace the existing camera with Google Camera ?

:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigwillyg:
Considering its called the Google camera fix... -_- yeah, I would say you need to install it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iomega311:
Change PRLs?

This is my first non-TW rom and I cannot figure out how to change my prl. I am getting pretty bad voice reception and my LTE rarely works now. Where as my wife has the same phone, but is stock... And her voice coverage and LTE are just fine. On TW roms, i just had to type ##data# and then select "prl write".

Any help?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrows83:
Uhhh, I did install it. What I was saying if i needed to replace the stock camera instead of having both stock and google camera, seeing that the fix did not resolve the issue I was having with Google Camera.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigwillyg:
Sorry. :-$ for a second there it sounded like you eye trying to use the fix for the stock camera.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
You'll either have to manually update the PRL (kind of a pain to be honest), or flash back to TW and do it that way. Since PRL is kind of specific to Sprint, the AOSP ROMs don't play nice with it very well. My suggestion is to flash back to a TW ROM, update your PRL (or flash which one you want) and then flash back to this ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Now that Slim has gone to unified d2LTE builds, is there a specific thread on XDA for that, or one of the existing threads that has become the defacto home for it?

From my Pro Tab 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Good question, I would hope devs got together and agreed to one thread for them. Easier for all parties involved. Only question is where should it go? I personally just visit the Sprint SIII thread (and I'm sure everyone with their own provider does the same) but maybe they can just link them all to a common thread. There is also the issue that there are some carrier specific issues still, mostly related to APNs and whatnot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Yeah, I think you'd certainly keep the carrier specific threads open for just such issues as APNs and such. But it would be nice to have a unified location for bug reports and general ROM discussion. Of course for general ROM discussion, it's always a good idea to follow the latest nexus thread (N5 right now) since that's where the main devs adding features and such hang out. You learn a lot there.

From my Pro Tab 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
That would be utter mayhem and pointless really. Threads and carriers are organized in the proper manner already. As far as downloading, maybe. But not the threads.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
I wholeheartedly agree. Just look at the complete lack of common sense on any popular app forum. Users posting "I have problem x" and failing to add any basic info such as phone or rom type. People completely unfamiliar with any type of search. At least with phone/carrier specific forums for roms any problems can be quickly identified as a general problem or something specific to a particular phone or carrier.

[MENTION=3195615]JaylanPHNX[/MENTION] thanks for the nexus tip. I usually scan CM threads for the same reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] manso1102:
Just tried the fix and still the same problem. I take one picture and the app freezes..I guess I'll wait for another fix.thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
True, true ... I never owned a device with a "common" ROM/kernel so don't know about possible problems. I prefer either way, but as they say, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Plus, I know the Sprint S3 SlimKat community, don't want crazy people spoiling our forum :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrows83:
Audio/Notification issues

First, I would like to say that the ROM us superb. :good:

Second, I've been having issues with notification sounds and volumes. I've noticed that the phone loses audio after deep sleep (or it may be random). I've missed a few alarms in the morning and calls throughout the day.

Anyone have a suggestion on what to do to fix this? I'm still reading through all the posts in the thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I haven't noticed it on this ROM, but one thing I would suggest is to go back through and re-assign each notification manually. If you have specific ones, saved on an SD card, locally, whatever, go back in and reassign them. I've had times previously where I've done clean flashes, then maybe restore data to an alarm clock app so my alarms are still the same. I'll look at the sounds, and they'd still be the same, but nothing would actually make a sound. I would go back in, reassign the alarm with the sound (same as it was listed) and then it would work fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrows83:
I thought the same thing too. But I've noticed when it does this, all sound is muted, even with the volume turned up. Then I thought it may be the "quiet time" turned on but it isn't. I've changed all notification sounds to stock. Also, I've noticed it doesn't vibrate when it happens. Even with vibration turned on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
We flash unstable custom roms. We are the crazy people. :laugh:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I am running 4.1 stable and was considering moving on to the latest unified nightlies, but I had read a bit back that it sounded like there were some APN issues (similar to what folks running the unified CM11 had). IIRC it was an issue that caused loss of data when switching between 3G and LTE (which my phone does regularly). Has this issue been fixed or did it even ever exist? From what I read on the CM11 thread they just merged a patch to fix it. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phaseL:
Pretty sure it's fixed, as I'm no longer having the issue.

From the last two changelogs:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CaktusJack:
Just flashed yesterday, with the Latest Lean Kernel. Anyone know how to stop the LED from blinking?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
I had this problem with the unified Lean on SK3.6 (dirty flash). The easy fix I found was to reflash SK to stop the blinking and use the stock kernel. A clean install of the rom and the sprint build of Lean didn't have any problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] akaTRAP:
From what I heard it's a Lean Kernel bug. Plug it into your charger to get it to stop. Worked for me when I used it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CaktusJack:
Anyone else having problems with the camera closing after taking a couple of pics? On the latest unified Lean Kernel. Also the only schedulers I have are Deadline and Row, does that Kernel not have Sio?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CaktusJack:
Flashed the latest Quantum Kernel and still experiencing the blinking LED, anyone have a fix for this?

Hi,

I am from India and using S3 cdma mobile with android version 4.1.2, I was told that if we flash any version above this, internet will stop working. Is it true, Any Indian CDMA users here?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
As long as you make a proper nandroid backup, you can flash and find out. If it breaks something, just restore your backup.

From my Pro Tab 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Hi Shamms

To answer your 2nd question first: Probably not. This forum is for to s3 users on an American carrier so the percentage of users in India is probably pretty small. You are probably the only one. :)

As to your 1st question: Keep in mind that I'm answering this as American user. First go into settings > about phone and look at the model number, if it says I9300 you want to be here. If it says SPH-l710, right phone odd location. :) There is no reason why flashing a newer version of android should stop the internet from working, outside of bugs in the rom. However given your unique situation you are going to have to dive in and give it a try. Three things though : 1) Double check your model number, you dont want to flash a rom incompatible with your phone. 2) as [MENTION=3195615]JaylanPHNX[/MENTION] says, nandroid. Always nandroid any time prior to a flash. 3) Be very careful flashing any TW (Samsung) rom after 4.3. Look for one that has knox removed from the bootloader. (if they have done that yet). Knox will take away you ability to flash back to an earlier (pre 4.3) version of android. Read this for more info on knox. Hope this helps and good luck.

Just thought of something else, if you have the SPH-L710 model flashing a rom from this forum should be okay but your apn's will be all screwed up. Back up your working apn's before you do anything!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shamms:
Thanks. I am using Note 3 Indian version and it is rooted, The problem is in India we don't get fancy mobiles on CDMA, We need to get them from US as CDMA is more popular in US than any other country. I have 2 S3's one SIM based and One programmed, both are working on 4.1.2 as CDMA carrier here is TATA and I have been warned by many known guys that if upgraded, it will stop internet from working on these handsets. Yes nandroid backup is the best option and I don't think I will directly jump to KK which has knox as downgrading will give me a paper weight as expensive as working Iphone:p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
If you stick to AOSP roms (SlimKat, CM, PA, etc) you can flash any version of android you like. Only TW roms give you knox.

PS did you catch my edit to my previous post about apn's. Not 100% sure but I think apn incompatablity could cause internet issues, it definitely causes mms issues, which use the data connection rather than the cell connection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Shamms:
Thanks for responding. I plan to root, take nandroid backup and then try various permutations and combinations, if it works fine else will download 4.1.2 of Slimkat and install it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Try this: go to /data/app-lib/ with a root explorer and delete the files associated with the apps, then reinstall accordingly. Works for me every time, good luck!

I've ran slim on all my devices for some time now. I've upgraded to the latest weekly, did a completely clean flash. I am having having the loss of LTE when switching to 3g as well. After its gone it doesn't come back.

I flashed to stock, updated profile, prl and used APN backup and restore after converting to a system app. Flashed back to slim. Convert APN backup and restore to system then moved to system/priv-app. Rebooted. Restored APN successfully. Rebooted. Still no LTE or any mobile data. Anyone have an idea. This is the first major issue I've EVER had with a slim rom, and the first unified rom I've flashed as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CL1311:
I had this same issue yesterday with the latest weekly. I was only able to get 3g but no LTE which I know works at my house. Had to restore a tw backup and LTE came right back on. Hopefully this can be easily fixed because I love slimkat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phaseL:
Did you guys try changing the "Preferred network type" in Settings > More (under Wireless & Networks) > Mobile networks?

Change it to CDMA+LTE/EVDO.

Not on the latest build yet, but in the past, selecting this, or switching to another and back to this, has fixed the LTE issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fitz420:
Yeah I did. That's the 1st thing I tried. Still nothing. Thanks though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jorv976:
The LTE issue is a common prob with kk 4.4.2. All the ROMs on this build have the same prob. CM11 just came out with a fix for this issue. Hopefully it will be added to the next update of this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phaseL:
Cool, good to know. Guess I'll hold off on updating.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CL1311:
I tried the same thing as well and had the same results. I also tried the data and LTE toggles turning them on and off several times and still no LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] liukuei:
Profiles??

Are there no profiles in this ROM? The developers website says that there is under the "General" settings, but I don't see that option anywhere under my settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
You might be looking at old slim bean stuff if it says there's profiles. Not on KitKat (yet).

I lost my root privelages. I flashed a TW rom to update my PRL, fixed my internet connection and working better than ever, so problem solved. But flashed back to KITKAT and cannot get ROOT privelages back. Not sure what I am doing wrong here. Does anyone have a suggestion???

I am at my work computer, and majority of the links are blocked, so looking for the answer at work is becoming difficult.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CL1311:
I switched back to tw too because I lost LTE but I know you have to give slimkat root permission in settings. I forget exactly where but you need to allow root to apps and adb. I think it's under settings-interface.

Thanks man, had go to settings<developer options<root access (had to toggle on/off), root access is back, thanks CL1311

Hi, so I flashed this and gapps, gaps did not stick and I lost su and recovery. Kinda stumped as to where to go from here. Good news is I have a working ROM but that is all. Any help would be great as to how I can get either such or recovery back. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CL1311:
You can download goo manager from the play store. Then in goo manager you can install twrp recovery. Follow the post above yours to get su back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Even easier way to switch between recoveries (flashable in CWM/TWRP) courtesy of Naddict: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2151476. And yes, KitKat disables root access by default, have to go to settings -> developer options -> root access -> enable it there (for apps only or apps + adb).

So i went to use my chrome cast for the first time in a while. The chromecast toggled my WiFi on and off and bam, broke it... Says wps failed try again later. .. Im running latest stable 4.1 with lean kernel. Now i havnt had any 4g issues since i was on aokp 4.1... I wanna flash the new weekly unified 4.6 for d2lte but if i lose 4g (4g is spotty here so iy toggles a lot) if i go back to 4.1 it should come back right?

ok and good morning. lol... so I loaded slimkat and got it working the best I could. I couldn't get into my corporate email so I recovered my backup and rebooted (a 4.3 tw barebones rom) well anyway like ive done thousands (literally) of times it didn't boot correctly and slimkat boot screen came up (which shouldn't have) I cannot manually boot into recovery, im stuck at this slimkat logo and softbricked like I never have been before... I need help quickly as my job depends on it... I tried to odin but it is not working. Any help out there? anyone know why my physical recovery (manual recovery) is borked?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ0000:
Pull the battery, put it back in and then you should be able to manually boot into recovery by holding vol up, power and home button. Once in recovery you should be able to clean flash another rom or restore a back up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
no sir. recovery is borked as well and this has never happened to me before. no recovery, no volume down plus power either for adb... smh, wtf...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Then if recovery and everything is corrupted, all you can do is use Odin to reflash stock and add back root and recovery.

So after flashing the 4.6 build it was running great but after flashing the APN fix from here http://androidforums.com/boost-mobi...universal-boost-apn-fix-d2lte-builds-mod.html I would only get 3g service in the "global" network and not on CDMA evdo LTE... Also when ever I was in a LTE area I would get no service at all. Sucks too Cuz it was running way smoother than the 4.1 stable that I had to go back too ... Any ideas?? Is there a different fix out there that works?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
I've tried that but for some reason it wont take. I guess im effed... efff... smh...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
1) Can you get into download mode? If not you may be truly effed.

2) I'm assuming that you tried this? There seems to be a consensus on the interwebs that you may have to try several time to make it stick. You may also have to try different usb cables, I had to use my sisters BlackBerry cable to originally root my s3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jr71x:
I guess my biggest issue is why I lost recovery and adb. it does boot to splash screen then slimkat which it shouldn't, it should be the barebones os that I had in recovery. I guess recovery didn't wipe everything? and what makes it weirder is my recovery is twrp. isn't that supposed to be the the best at wiping? *uck... My sprint contract is done in a month and I wanted to go to boost to save $50 a month but I guess I get an s5 or a note3??? I don't like my options and don't understand why I have a brick...
