OK now I have

Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.8.2-WEEKLY-7328

Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.4.4.4.build.8.x-296

Installed and the phone doesn't hang up when I hit the hang up button. Which is particularly bad for me since I have a prepaid number/phone flashed on this s3 and I pay by the minute lol. In also using Google voice, not site if that affects anything
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
Like I said, all of the weeklies since 7.6 have been a bit wonky. Some had issues updating/installing apps, bluetooth, hanging up, etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Go try 7.4. like [MENTION=4913125]funkbuqet[/MENTION] said. I am not sure using different Gapps would matter. Tell me if it does cause issue.

I think I have a solution. Testing the build now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Struggling a bit after going from 8.2 to 7.4. I don't have data most of the time, and sometimes my apps just don't launch. I'm going to clear cache and dalvik and see if it helps. Really don't want to clean flash at this point.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That problem will not be resolved unless clean flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Well, I'll just wait until 8.4 is out, I'd rather clean flash to go forward.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Anyone?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
8.4 still does not hang up like 8.2 did... nor does it ring when called.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
That's disappointing. But thanks - I was just about to flash it. I'm on 8.0 with the latest BMS kernel, which fixes the BT problem. No other issues that I've noticed.

BMS also has Trinity colors, which I like. Used to be able to set color temp in the Slim device settings. What ever happened to that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
been using dkp kernel myself and all has been good with 8.0 for the color settings... there is an apk called s3settings.apk if you put it in /system/priv-app and reboot it should show up under display->advanced.

Yep, this seems to be working well. I confirmed the following after a clean flash.

* Can receive and make calls

* Can triangulate position with GPS

* Disconnect from WiFi to get on data

* All apps seem to launch so far.

Thanks for all the work, appreciate it!

Here's a strange issue. Despite having checked "apps + adb" under root options, I still don't have root (verified by installing root checker). Any idea what I'm missing?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Do you have another Root App ? Was this a clean flash or Restore of System data ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I'll try this test build tonight. Thank you Perseus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Clean flash, no restore.

I can't even get "su" to complete on terminal. I can't install xposed, supersu etc.

Also, what happens is that the process just hangs. I tried installing supersu through recovery and got a boot loop.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please see if you can format /data , /data/media and /system then flash the Rom alone.

That does sound a bit. anyone else have same issue ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
I have root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Can this be done through adb shell in recovery? If yes, I can see /data (empty) and /system only has bin in it. What's the path I should be in?

If not I'm using Philz Touch 6 and I can only format /data and /system.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
With Philz use wipe for new rom option.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mawst95:
Same

Edit will try the build linked above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
That worked! I'll install the latest gapps beta and see what happens. Will reply only if things don't work. Thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Does the latest Lean Kernel work with these builds?

Edit: Lean Kernel 9.15 works great.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Hmmmm... I've looked for an app called s3settings.apk but haven't found it. Where would I find that?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
attached
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Is this specific to that Kernel ? What is it expected to do ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
this has always allowed me to adjust color temp with kernels that support changing color temps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Copied it to /system/priv-app. Changed permissions to rw-r-r (644). Rebooted. Nothing under Settings->Display->Advanced.

If this is specific to dkp, then it might not show up at this moment. I'm running bms right now because dkp seemed to be having greater battery drain.

Also, I'm running slimkat 7.0 stable. Not running 8, yet. Moving to 7 was more painful than I expected so I'm taking a breather before going for any 8 downloads since I will have to do a clean install again.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
hmm this used to work for me but haven't used it in a bit since i haven't used a kernel with that smurf color default. I just added it and it seems to of overtaken the advanced options under system now. but its not showing color temps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Anyone know which LeanKernel version will run with 7.0 stable?

I have tried 15, 14, 13, and 12 and they all killed data.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I'm still on stable 7.0 an lean kernel 9.10, after that they all kill data for me too, hope it helps. ?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
Dialer codes do not work on AOSP. As far as camera not working, so you get an error? Have you tried a different camera app like Google camera?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
I flashed the lastest "Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.7.0-OFFICIAL-5979" to my Sprint GS3,

but found the mobile data is not working.

I searched but cannot find a mention or solution.

Can anyone help me a clue?

Many thanks.

Build 7 isn't even close to the latest. Look for the test build from earlier this week. And don't ever quote the whole OP, it's very bad form.

More info may help the helpful ppl hear. Like in other words, are you on sprint? Any PRL hacks...Etc... Sorry I don't have any ideas as I have not been on 7.0 I'm on 7.2.1 iv been real busy and have not had time to test.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
What recovery are you using? Did you do a full factory reset first? Did you just flash the ROM or did you also flash a kernel? LeanKernel after v 9.10 causes the Sprint GS3's to lose mobile data. Did you follow all of the instructions for flashing on the slimroms site?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mawst95:
Same. The build above fixed my issues. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
I used the twrp 2.8.0.1, and wiped cache and data.

everything's fine except 4GLTE data - seems like I have to specify 3G prferred to make it work, but only sometimes. I thought it has problem.

I did notice the mention of "LeanKernel" in the thread but cannot find the topic in the OP, nor a download link of such an important patch.

I googled but can hardly find a download older than 9.1. For example, this site:

http://downloadandroidrom.com/file/GalaxyS3/kernels/leankernel

Can you please direct me to the right place or provide the link?

Thanks a lot.

Thank you so much!

I downloaded the 9.10, wipe cache/dv cache, flashed via TWRp, wipe cache/dv cache again, reboot.

But still no mobile data.

Shall I download the v9.9 (i.e. v9.10 still not good)? or I need special flash steps other than listed above?

I'll appreciate your further advice.

Thanks again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
Thanks. Please confirm the following steps before I reflash.

I plan to flash the followings in order and in one pass (one by one in twrp):

0. wipe cache/dv cache /system and /data

1. flash lk_s3aosp_kitkat-v9.10.zip (not 9.9)

2. flash Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.7.0-OFFICIAL-5979.zip

3. flash gapps-kk-20140606-signed.zip

4. reboot

The I should get Sprint mobile data, right?

The last time this happened to me, I had to flash the KT747 AOSP kernel to get data back. Weird. I did everything recommended here, etc., but the only thing that got data back for me was to flash that kernel. I can't stay with that kernel because wi-fi doesn't work with this ROM but it did get data back for me.

I could then flash any kernel I wanted. I am currently on BMS. That seems to be working the best for me with the SlimKat 7 ROM and ND8. I tried lean kernel (didn't have anything but troubles), quantum (worked ok), and dkp (worked great but had more battery drain than I wanted). BMS has been working the best so far for me.

Good luck!

Flashed weekly 8.6 over the custom 8.4 posted earlier in the thread. Also flashed latest gapps. Nova FCd continuously at boot up. Looked like radio wasn't working correctly either (judging by the status bar icon but hard to tell because of the non stop Nova FCing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
No mobile network here, either. And I clean flashed 8.6 twice. Didn't have a problem with Nova, though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Do not flash Custom Kernels. If you do, you will loose data. If you did clean flash, check for Data before restoring a single thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mawst95:
I flashed back to the special 8.4 and all is well. I see there's an updated Nova beta released today that "fixes FCs" so maybe that problem was unrelated to 8.6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
I didn't restore anything, and no custom kernel. No mobile network at all, data and phone. I restored my nandroid and all is well again.

What does your baseband translate to 4.3 update or 4.4 update or pre 4.3 ?

I'm using the ND8 modem, but still on MD4 bootloader, if that matters (no knox).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The~Skater~187:
How did you get just the nd8 modem? I have been told that you need the matching nd8 bootloader to use that modem. Which is why I haven't updated my modem yet. I'm on PAC 4.4.4 with md4 bootloader and mk3 modem because i didn't want to deal with Knox.

I haven't had any issues in the past with dirty flashing and I have like 340 apps (yeah, I know) and hundreds of tweaks and customizations that I'd need to manually redo. I recognize that I could be creating problems for myself by not clean flashing.

FWIW, the special version that you posted the other day works fine with the dirty flash and custom kernel.

The ND8 modem will brick any S3 that was either upgraded to or came with the MK3 firmware. That's why it was pulled down pretty quickly.

You should be fine. I use Philz recovery, but that's just personal preference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] The~Skater~187:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
BACK ON TRACK GUYS.

It Does not matter what Firmware or baseband you are on. This Weekly will work for you. Its just that the prior weekly had RIL Libraries that just need a clean wash. Hence the mandatory clean slate.

Let's stop OT.

I'd hold on till later today or tomorrow. Jenkins is rebuilding the weeklies right now. You will be looking for 8.6.1

Also if you had flashed any version of 8.4 weekly then you must do a Clean flash without data restore. Otherwise you won't get data or get just 3G.

On 8.6 the baseband was unknown (no data or 3g and flashing the ND8 modem (I'm on md4 firmware)wiping cache, dalvik and it still didnt stick after flashing. I thought the 8.6.1 would fix it. After reading posts this morning it seems the error must have been on my part... *shrugs* lll just stick with the 7.0 stable restore until stable 9.0 arrives.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
There indeed is a major update to NFC Libraries this weekly. Its more for other devices and is not expected to impact D2LTE. That's why Wiping Dalvik is crucial after any flash. Especially if you are doing Dirty Flash.

Lost Incoming Calls

I'm in 7.2.1 too. After a week's testing, overall I'm satisfied so far. The only problem is the lost of incoming calls sometimes.

The caller party cannot even hear dialing tone, and eventually a "unavailable" report; me party just no any signal (no ringing, voice mail, call-in record...). Quite strange.

I Heard reburning of some kernel may help. Is it true? What's the best kernel then in this case.

Thanks for any advice.
