Just downloaded this. First time user. Seems to be running great. One thing I can't figure out is how to disable the stock capacitive touch button lights. Also is the screen stuck on this density or can it be changed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Capacitive touch lights resolution. For DPI changes read me or use an app such as TextDroider then here's the DPI responses. I always clear Play Store data before rebooting when editing "ro.sf.lcd_density=245" in the build.prop.

On another note it seems like I somehow lost root? I've flashed tons of ROMs before so don't know what I could have done wrong. Anyone else have this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Settings/About Phone and tap build number 7 times to enable Developer options. Then, enable "apps and adb" in Developer options/Root access.

Conversely, you can flash SuperSU after flashing this rom if you notice root issues even after enabling the above.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
Thank you. Apparently I AM an idiot. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I can't blame you for not knowing that lol Google hid root access pretty well on KitKat
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
thanks, lol. the list view animations are AWESOME!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
Anyone know why my phone keeps losing my phone, e-mail, and text sounds and just replacing them with either numbers or unknown? I'm on the 3.4 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Weekly build 3.6 is up!

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/630-d2vzw
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Do you have your phone set up to automatically scan media on a reboot or do you do it manually?

Not sure why but mine does the same thing. I think it has something to do with having the sounds on your external SD card.

Try moving your sounds to internal storage at System>Media>Audio and into the appropriate folders there. Then reboot and do a media scan if you have that set to manual. IIRC that has fixed it for me on previous builds.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] msternig:
Anyone happen to dirty flash this over 3.4? Just for clarification, the process would be to flash the new weekly in recovery, then clear Dalvik and Cache?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Thinking about going to this ROM due to MMS issues. Just one question, is it possible to switch to the original recents interface rather than the one in this ROM? That's kind of whats keeping me away, not really a fan of it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
To kill all pinch from top to bottom ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
Am I missing it or did they do away with the option to turn the camera shutter sound off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mefistofel666:
Bluetooth share app force closes

Any update on that? I love the new rom but i drive a lot and it does the same forceclose? TIA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
I think your missing something... Settings > sound > advanced options > camera shutter sound
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
Ah, thanks! The last build that option was in the settings in the camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I haven't seen the Bluetooth Share force close since going to the stable 3.0 build (and the recent weeklies) with the stock kernel. I did delete the BT share on the car side as well as the phone at that time and then re-paired, so that may have helped.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Only reboot I get is from Netflix every so often jams me up. But other than that I'm solid. Running lean kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] madhacker7:
Still no takers on the auto focus setting not sticking in the camera app?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Still not sticking.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Does anyone have their led light constantly flashing while screen is on after you boot up? I can't get it to stop breathing even when I disable battery led and notification led. It just keeps breathing while my screen is on. I am using 3.6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Not here. The closest I'm seeing is this occurrig with KT747 kernel but for me that lasts maybe 30 seconds after a reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
Only things I've noticed is the camera focus not sticking, when ending a phone call the screen doesn't come back on and for some reason sometime my lock screen gets stuck and I have to pull up from the bottom to initiate Google now to get it unstuck (using nav bar)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Yeah it finally went away. It persisted for maybe about 5 min for me.

What I also noticed that this ROM didn't include the fix for snapchat FFC. Kind of a bummer :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scarygood536:
Latest build runs good for me. Glad to see some bugs fixed. I tried going to another rom. I just can't do it. Slim ruined all other Original android ROMs. They are all annoyingly ugly with their fat notification bats and huge icons. Great job. Slim is the gold standard for me. The only thing really miss is active display, but I can give that up for the superior ui and support. A new multi window would Also go good with the new recent menu too (drag and drop). Keep up the good work! I can't wait to see what you guys come up with next.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
I use an app called AcDisplay for the active display...it gets the job done and I don't see any noticible battery drain

Edit: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.activedisplay
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
I have verified that my custom sounds do not survive a reboot, whether stored internally or externally. They are replaced by a 5 digit number or "unknown ringtone". I have to manually go into sound settings and reselect my sounds.

Can anyone else confirm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] duarian:
Mine survive a reboot. Clean flash of 3.6
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BrUhNiGGs:
Wow its very weird that I'm the only one who experiences LED flashing problems after a boot up. I've done a clean flash, redownloaded 3.6 but I get the same issue. It lasts for about 15 min then stops. Guess I gotta wait for the next weekly before trying again..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Weird. I'm on a clean flash of 3.4, I will try an upgrade tonight. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
I can confirm this as well on build 3.4. Haven't had time to flash 3.6 yet so can't speak for that, might as well wait for next weekly build.

Sent by me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidruk:
Great ROM .. Quick question though .. Did anyone lose keyboard sounds? I know its random but I do enjoy the sounds of the keyboard and they are gone .. Any takers?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
Had the issue when I used KT with build 3.4. Try fixing by plugging in then unplugging. Make sure you have the charging light enabled (even just temporarily).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] azdragon:
I am having the same problem (loss of assigned sounds) on a 3x wipe & clean flash of 3.6.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
My sound assignments stayed the same, but no sound. When I go into reassign, I now have multiple listings of the same sounds but the one selected does not work. I have to select another of the same name sound in the list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gchild320:
Hey guys my wife uses this and is having issues with screen staying on. In display settings it is set to turn off after 30 seconds, but still stays on forever. Any ideas why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bluerai:
Mine fixes itself once I receive a notification, then it goes away, but not until.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:21 PM ----------

Mine seems to do the opposite, a longer setting never sticks and my screen is always shutting off after 30 sec..

Sorry I couldn't help..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
idk why but this just happened to me as well. It seems to be fixed after a reboot. i hadn't noticed it doing this before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bsdesign0000:
thanks! it actually already was selected, but I reselected it, and now it works...weird
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] imjehh:
Thanks for bringing that up! I was having trouble with that too. Seems to be an overall smooth rom, but the only thing that doesnt work for me is the AC!D sound mod. Noozxiode keeps force closing. Is this happening to anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Strangest thing... Just realized my compass rotates in reverse. Not only is it wrong, if I face east and turn right, the compass turns towards north! I have calibrated hundreds of times, wiped all caches, tried many compasses and no luck. Anyone else having this issue? On build 8, haven't to 4.3 yet

Ps my wife's att sgIII with build 8 is fine
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
This thread is for the beta build, you should try going to the build 8 4.2.2 thread
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
True but I imagine that thread will die as cordell is no longer our DM and 4.2.2 is the past. I will ask over there though thanks :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
The ONLY issue I am having with this build is that I can't get GPS lock. I've NEVER had issues with GPS on prior builds. I used GPS toolbox and it says 0/0 satellites. Before anyone says tighten screws, go back to stock, etc, etc, I've done all that. Went back to prior builds and other ROMs, and have had no issues. I haven't had much luck on Slim since build 6. :confused: I'd love to run this, but I use GPS A LOT. I've recently relocated so it helps! Any one else have this issue? Or any other advice? Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] m_s_ifland:
I am running latest Slim and gps locks in seconds...very quickly. When you go back to another build or a stock is gps locking then. I ask because it could be a harware issue if it's not locking on any ROM. I had some gps issues on build 8, tried all the things advised by others and nothing worked. I always dirty flash new builds and the one thing that finally fixed it was a clean flash of the ROM, then I reinstall most of my apps clean as well without restoring app data, with Titaium Backup. GPS has worked fine since.

Hope you find a solution, I know how frustrating that can be.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
I'm noticing on all these 4.3 ROMs this one and the pacman ROM it wants to hang on the boot logo for the little alien comes up sometimes I can't get it to ever get past it and have to reformat.. Sometimes a battery pull 6 is it most of the time I have to just reflash. I always do a clean install and currently on the TWRP recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stolly08:
Excited to try this! On the 4.3 PacMan right now and enjoying it but I'm excited to try this with the special gapps and BMS!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Might be something with twrp, think I read that somewhere. I always manually format system, do you have that option on twrp?

Eat Play Google
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
It has a format feature and then an advanced wipe feature where you can individualize.. I usually do both
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cuban11182:
Mine is doing the same thing. I waited 5 minutes and nothing. This is after the first boot and setup. If I wait for it to stabilize, then reboot it hangs on the little blue guy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
If you are installing from external SD it can cause the hang when you reboot. Always install 4.3 ROMs from internal memory.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
How do you do a clean wipe and install then if your ROM is on internal and you wipe internal. I always wipe super clean on releases and newer Android versions. This conversation so doesn't sound right. Lol. :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunlap92:
I backed my phone up prior to installing...I use twrp. I format system, data and caches....then installed 4.3 from external SD....then wipe davick cache then install aio gapps and wipe dav cache again...no problems....restore apps and data after going through startup wizard
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
It's one of the key features of having a custom recovery. When you wipe data in a custom recovery (twrp/cwm/etc) your wiping everything except your "user" data which is your media/photos/files/backups/etc. Essentially everything that is directly visible on your storage through a file manager. Most of the other stuff that you need root access to see is wiped, like your downloaded apps (root data).

The stock recovery however, will completely wipe your device if you choose to wipe data. For a Custom recovery to wipe your internal storage or user data, you need to manually select that option.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
That's just it though. I always wipe internal also. It only takes me a few minutes to set back up. I just just want the cleanest possible install, so if I have bugs, I know its most likely ROM related and not user. So what I'm saying I WANT to wipe internal, so is it possible do that and somehow transfer the ROM afterward to internal through the recovery? I'm on TWRP BTW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
No, because your media is being wiped if you format your internal sd. I don't know where this rumor came from about flashing a rom through the external sd as being troublesome. It's 100% wrong information! Older recovery versions had difficulty reading certain storage formats, but that's been long fixed. It's just some individual(s) experience that more than likely is the fault of the sd card itself. I flash roms solely through my external always, and have done so on many different devices. And to further prove that statement, I have 2 of the same exact cards, one reads/writes, the other writes, but won't read - so basically cannot flash a rom from it. The one that works is my replacement from SanDisk, because the other one is obviously faulty.

And really the only time that you would ever need to fully wipe your phone is if your one that bounces between aosp+tw, but if you truly want to go that route you can use twrp in adb/fastboot mode to push a zip to your internal via desktop. But it's so much easier to just use your external.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Several users across different 4.3 ROMs, including me, have experienced the splash screen hang and installing from internal sd alleviates it. It's never been an issue for me before 4.3, either but it's a documented issue and solution on 4.3.

Use the file manger under advanced in twrp and copy the ROM and gapps over from your extSD after the full wipe and you're in business.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
If this is true, then information is being fragmented or left out when the flashing process happens as information is transferred from the external, therefore resulting in a bad flash. It would happen to everyone if it was an issue with recovery.

Good call on the file manager in twrp, I always forget it's there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Is there a trick to get face unlock to work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Durhammer:
Has anyone gotten Google Wallet NFC Tap to Pay working? Would love to know how. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] helobubba88:
I don't think it's possible on 4.4, the S3, and Verizon. I've tried all the methods and it says tap and pay is ready but it doesn't register on any terminal I've tried.

I had it working on 4.3 but not on 4.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
Wtf Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Psssst! Something was posted....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
While I really like the fact that I can have a use for rom toolbox since I paid for it ages ago, I really would like to see the performance options return. And I still don't know why the unobtrusive call screen was removed. It was really the nicest part of KK when I moved to it. That being said, I can never like any other rom. I've tried for the past 2 years on 2 different phones. T-minus 1 minute til 3.8 flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
My guess would be to make sure you're in a well lit room.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Mine just force closes, bit it just occurred to me it could be ART it's not compatible with. Can anyone else weigh in on that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
Hmm. And now it's gone. At least the d2vzw weekly has just disappeared.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] helobubba88:
You're right. I downloaded and flashed it just a short while ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Likewise, looks like it's back up now with some changes since the build number changed. Guess it's time to do another clean flash haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
3.8 is up again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
ok, i must be going crazy. can anybody else not get the voice input key to work on the keyboard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sweeds:
3.8 is up and fresh off a flash seems good.

[MENTION=2896874]brockkk[/MENTION]. TTS through SwiftKey keyboard works for me. Make sure TTS is enabled in input settings, and poss try a different keyboard to help debug source of your problem.

Any recommendations for custom Kernels with this? Looking to reduce lag that's popped up with power intensive apps and also switching apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] brockkk:
Yep. Total user error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Kernel recommendations for max killa performance / battery.

Most of the kernels are pretty good actually. Some focus on some things others on other things, most try to find a nice balance between performance and battery life. I've used Lean, BMS, DKP, and KT with success.

One thing that's keeping me coming to KT is the KTweaker app included. This lets you tweak a ton of stuff for free. One thing I use it for is to adjust the vibration intensity of the haptic feedback, while you can do this in slim on the stock kernel, it sometimes breaks using a different kernel, so if you use ktoonez kernel, you can use his app to adjust haptic again.

Another feature I've been exploring recently, is the profiles feature, there's a ton of preconfigured profiles you can use that people including KT himself have submitted for everything under the sun. Takes some of the guesswork out of knowing which governor and scheduler to use. I'd still recommend reading up on what each governor/schdeduler's strengths and weaknesses are. It's just good to know what does what. Just makes sense.

Good luck and hope this helps a bit.

Does 3.8 fix the sounds issue with the external SD card people were having?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I think I'm going to really like this "favorites for SlimRecents" commit that's in SlimKat 3.8
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Nice, I was wondering how to make something a favorite.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I was confused too so I went hunting into the Gerrit to figure it out. Also, from what I understand, left hand mode in SlimRecent is only enabled for right to left languages. English is left to right hence it not being enabled by default. So, we can't change the SlimRecent panel to the left side at will a la Samsung MultiWindow. Also, the scalability of SlimRecent is in reference to when you manually change the DPI. There doesn't appear to be a SlimRecent specific scale change if anyone was looking for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidruk:
I'm with you on this one .. I'd like to know the same thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EatonZ:
I'm thinking about trying out this ROM. I'm currently using CM 11 which has been having some MMS/APN issues lately.

Anything similar happening on SlimKat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
Didn't see this anywhere else, but FYI, Add-Ons were also updated yesterday/today.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kidruk:
no mms/sms issues here .. interestingly the only sound issue I have is the google keyboard has the aosp keyboard sounds as opposed to other roms that would have the new google sounds .. I'll be updating to 3.8 when I get home and see if that solves that issue ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Well, I didn't have this problem on any prior build but now do with 3.8. After a reboot my phone ringtone shows as unknown. Guess I'll move it to internal now since everyone talking about it apparently jinxed me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foxnutz:
SlimRecent left edge toggle and scaling can be accessed by going to System setting > Accessibility then scroll down to recent apps panel section at the bottom.

I am confused on how to make apps favorites in SlimRecent though...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Just long press the app icon when in recents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Now we're talking! Lol great find!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] o0BlacknesS0o:
More than likely you will have problems even after you flash this. It seems that once the issues occur, Odin back to stock is the only method to fix the issues. Hopefully you won't have to, but just giving you a heads up in case the issues aren't resolved by flashing Slim

So there's currently no way to Tap and Pay on Android 4.4 then with the Galaxy S3s? That sucks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I just downloaded and signed into my Dropbox account with no issues from the Play Store. This is on SlimKat 3.8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
Bringing attention back to Griz's post because it's been a huge help to me. I'd looked at the various KTweaker profiles but never tried one. In hopes of resolving the frequent reboots while using navigation apps, I loaded the "Ktoonsified v2.1" profile (min Mhz to 189, ktoonservative governor, bfq i/o scheduler, & more changes). This not only 100% fixed the frequent reboots I was getting (worth ten times the price of admission, or at least a donation to KT), but also eliminated the lag I sometimes experienced when punching in the first couple numbers of my security PIN. So far, very solid battery life too.

If anybody else is suffering from reboots as I was (triggered by high CPU loads such as navigation apps, and especially frequent when charging), give this a shot. (FYI, currently running SlimKat 3.8 with the latest KT747-AOSP-KK-VZW-03-09-2014)
