I'm only seeing the status bar from your picture, so I can't see what you're trying to show. I would suggest installing Better Battery Stats and figuring out what's causing your phone to stay awake. Check both Kernel and Partial Wakelocks for the culprit.

One thing I've been seeing more often in 4.3 than 4.2.2 is Audio2_Out or whatever it is. It's like certain apps aren't actually shutting down when I exit them (using the Menu --> Exit method). ESPN Radio has been a culprit for me.

Same here, LK is a good one to use. Very light weight, not a ton of options, but is about as stable as they come. I used it previously on Slim's 4.2.2 builds and there was a point where I had literally over 300 hours of up time. That's almost two straight weeks without a reboot being needed for anything and I use my phone quite a bit.

I've been looking for Lean Kernel for the Sprint S3, but I am not finding it for Sprint. Am I supposed to flash the one for Verizon / ATT? Could you point me to a thread to look at for Sprint S3? Thanks :)

Nevermind, I believe I found the Lean Kernel downloads.

I'm running Stable 2 and have only run into one issue. Screen flickering. I disable hardware overlay and this fixes it. Note: I am on BMS, so it may not be a ROM issue. It is very stable for me and I appreciate all the work that went into it. Thanks :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n3td3v:
To the SR dev:

I have previously mentioned my concern for the omit/lack thereof in recent builds of this ROM allowing for an option to continuously loop a set ringtone. Take, for example, when a 5 second tone is set as your default ringtone, that tone only plays for the first 5 seconds of the incoming call and thereafter, the incoming call silently displays with no further notice short of the visual aspect. There is even lack of a vibration notification beyond the expiration of those 5 seconds of the ringtone clip. Personally, I could care less about the vibration but I would suggest an option for us users to loop the playback of ringtones that we set. I have noted this 'issue' ROM-wide since I was previously with T-Mobile, therefore it is not restricted solely to the Sprint version of this ROM.

Perchance there is already an option present addressing this 'issue'. If so, please direct me hence. Thank you for your work of excellence,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Sir, with all your respect, why you just don't edit the ringtone?

Use your preferred audio edit application, and copy and paste it till it turns to be 30 seconds.

I use Adobe Auditions to make and edit my ringtones. Easier than try to make a developer edit a ROM for me.

Sounds like you got it, so this may be a waste, but I just search the interwebz for imoseyon and I find it that way. There isn't a thread in our section, but the downloads link in the thread on this site should at least get you in the right area, and from there, just go to d2spr and you'll be good to go.

BMS is another good one as well. I'm using LK at the moment, and I don't notice any screen flickering that isn't caused by the weird animations seeming to struggle with each other.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I magically lost the ability to see the phone at all when plugging it in my computer. Tried 3 other PCs, same thing ... downgraded LeanKernel to 8.4.4, same thing. Not sure what happened. Hopefully I won't have to reflash but it's not looking too promising. Any ideas what could have happened?

EDIT: Phone does charge so it's not a hosed USB port, but it just doesn't mount storage and I'm not sure why. No USB icon indicating any PC is connected either. This is a really strange problem and just started happening out of the blue.

EDIT: Ok problem was fixed simply by hard shutting down the phone, pulling the battery out for a few seconds, plugging it back in and powering on again. Not sure what happened but a soft reboot did not fix it. I'm back in business running LK 8.5.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Did you had Fast Charge enabled?

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I did, but I had turned it off days prior to that. I toggled it a few times also to make sure it wasn't that. That being said though, I NEVER had this problem before but I tried out FFC a few times last month and now this happens. So be careful using it FWIW. I guess the setting doesn't really "toggle" unless you hard reboot.

Is it possible to sync Facebook contacts natively on aosp or not yet?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
i havnt seen that but why dont u just get uber sync for facebook
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigwillyg:
I will have to look at that. I did see that someone had hacked contactprovider.apk but wasn't sure about trying it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigwillyg:
Woo hoo update of my favorite kernel. Now I can use build2 of slim Rom. Can't wait for kit Kat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I just had a random reboot while using IMO , will be posting logcat soon to see what's going on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n3td3v:
In that sense, you are willfully allowing a developer to opt everyone else out of something that would otherwise be a brilliant feature. You made it clear that you're not lazy and even probably are proud of the fact that you know how to cut and paste sound waves to suit your tastes. I never asked the developer to include the creation and editing of ringtones within his ROM; a completely ridiculous request in itself!

I simply asked for a useful option (e.g.: a checkbox to enable looping) when a user applies a ringtone that would otherwise fall short of the normal playback time frame. Next time I will directly email the developer when I have a suggestion for enhancement to his work. He probably doesn't read these forums anyways, else he would likely cease development altogether due to the overwhelming amount of wisdom that abounds here!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
Here is the logcat of my reboot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] carole6m:
Just flashed the stable build 2 and I can't seem to find lock screen options. Am I missing something?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
What the hell is going on? Snapchat will record the video, and then it will reboot (the entire phone will reboot).

This is so frustrating...Snapchat is an important app!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
Not sure what's going on with the phone reboot , can't seem to pinpoint what's causing it . This has been the most stable ROM for me so far ..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
I'm on 4.3 with this ROM and snapchat can't record videos....does it work for you?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
I've been able to send videos with Snapchat with slim stable 2, leankernel, and the non-beta version of Snapchat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rambleon84:
I just wanted to say thanks to Slim Bean, I have had so few issues and this rom has been super stable for me. Been hanging with Slim since the 4.3 alpha builds too. Battery life has been great (Lean Kernel, Greenify/Battery Saver ftw!) I will not be switching roms again until Slim Kat :cool:

Keep up the goodness Slim
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
No , don't use snapchat but for me phone freezes and reboot in middle of hangouts .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Gonna say same, mostly. Been rocking this rom for about a week now and it seems to be what I've been waiting for CM 10.2 to become (stable, lean, no major issues) though to be fair I think CM has to much on its plate right now (also not sure I like the direction they appear to be going). This will probably be my come back to rom when I scratch my flashing itch :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
I'm same as you, except I'm under ktoonsez kernel....that can't be the problem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimMan:
I hate to post this, but as I am on my phone and the search on the app isn't so hot, could someone assist me in getting my camera working? Just rooted and flashed this, but I can't get the camera to connect on stock or third party.

Also can I change the system settings/animations? It lags really bad for me.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rambleon84:
Are you coming from clean install? Havent really heard of anyone having camera issues with this rom. Try to re-download and flash again after a full wipe. I use the stock camera, instagram and focal without issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimMan:
Yeah it was a clean flash, I followed the wipe / manual format as per op and then flashed the rom/gapps... as I need my camera daily I had to go back to stock so... I guess download again and do a md5 and see what happens? Also About the Animation settings, anyone know if we can change those for the Settings Menu, the zoom in and out kills my device / me.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimMan:
Sorry for another post so soon... I was able to flash CM nightly and everything seems to be working correctly. Might run this a bit and if it does well then try SB after I make a backup. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
What is the solution for internet wifi that keeps cutting out? Is it Sprint Wifi optimizer? how do i turn this crap off. its so annoying!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Sprint's wifi optimizer won't be present on an AOSP ROM. However, are you losing actual data connection or communication with the Google servers (the wifi bars are grey, not blue like normal)? I ask because when I'm connected to wifi with SlimBean Stable2, I seem to get the grey bars much more often than the blue ones, so something isn't quite right. Most of the time I'll just stick to LTE unless I'm downloading something relatively big or I know I'll be using a decent amount of bandwidth doing something.

I'll upload a screenshot from Tapatalk in a second here to show what I'm talking about in case it wasn't clear.

For what it's worth, the second I switch wifi off and go back to LTE, bars are blue as they should be.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thegame2388:
YES I get that too! How Do I fix?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
No idea :(

It's totally sporadic and random as far as I can tell and I've noticed it for weeks. Right now for example, a nice blue color.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
Is anyone from the dev looking into logcats to see what's causing random reboots for people ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimMan:
Yeah still can't get my camera to connect / work. Does fine on CM Nightly (11/21), tried flashing from that to SB and no camera. :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Working GREAT just as expected!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
By Great.. Can we assume no Random reboots, No Error 4xx when downloading apps from the Google play store, no battery drain and last but not least, no Camera issues front and/or back?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
By great I mean everything that was stated to work, works. So everything but the camera works just fine here so far. Definitely no battery drain on KT-SGS4. Will report back if anything should come up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Awesome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
Just installed the beta 2, and it runs fine. Figured out my random reboots were due to unlocking with bms kernel.

Gapps didn't take the first time, had to reflash them. Needed to reset Google play and services framework a few times, but runs fine now.

Nice lte icon change.

Camera seems to be running fine, disappointed at the lack of advanced options in this camera.

I didn't get the typical Google setup screen-was this cause the gapps didn't take before the first boot our are others having this problem?

Remember to download the beta two version of gapps too!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTOJim:
Seems that I need a user name and password to download Slim Bean. Is it necessary to first donate to flash this rom?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LuigiBull23:
Definitely not lol. Can you access this?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ascertion:
Beta 2 running very smoothly. Phone got a bit hot during restore procedure but after I flashed BMS 8-17, I've had not 1 issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] drewmonge:
*DISASTER*

....at least for me :(

I don't know what happened, but I went to flash BetaBuild 2 and it completely erased my internal storage. And no, my files weren't hidden. Been primary running 4.2.2 ROMs for the past few months, so I know about the extra partitions 4.2 creates and all that. But all my work related photos and videos, and Titanium backup.... everything gone. I don't understand what went wrong. I'm not a total newbie, been flashing ROMs and modding for over 2 years. I performed all the appropriate steps. I had read in another 4.3 thread that this very same thing had happened to a couple people flashing unofficial 4.3 ROMs, but I just thought that was more of an isolated incident. Didn't expect it to happen to me, or with this ROM.

These were my steps:

Using TWRP 2.6.0.0

Performed clean install.

Wiped standard partitions: Cache, dalvik and data, also "system" because I had read somewhere that it was recommended if flashing 4.3 ROMs for the first time.

(All internal storage STILL there)

Flashed beta build 2 with slimrom 4.3 quick flash gapps. (I always double check)

Booted up fine first time, everything seemed to be working fine. Except couldn't get 3G data to work. Tried toggling data several times, toggling Airplane mode, nothing worked.

Rebooted into recovery, tried flashing Ktoonzes new 8/16 kernel to see if that would fix data problem, but wouldn't bootup. Just stuck on KT's boot screen.

Rebooted into recovery, full wipe again. Re-flashed Beta build 2 and slimrom 4.3 gapps. Booted up just fine, but still, couldn't get data to work.

(This is where everything went wrong)

Rebooted back into recovery, TWRP asked for password (which I have never seen before). Tried rebooting TWRP several times, still kept asking for PW. But skipped it and it took me to regular TWRP menu page, then tried to restore nandroid of Slim 1.8 but it wasn't there. In fact nothing was there. That's when I noticed whole internal storage was gone. Plugged it into PC, searched phone, confirmed everything gone.

I then tried performing another full wipe to do a fresh install of 1.8 (luckily I had backed up on extsd card) but every time I tried a wipe, TWRP would fail. Tried just restoring an older nandroid from extsd card, but it would fail. Everything FAILED. Even tried Clockwork mod recovery, but it failed.

Finally flashed back to TWRP and did a full wipe/re-format, where you have to confirm "YES". And finally I was able to restore an older nandroid from extsd card. But all my pics and vidz and other important stuff gone. I just don't get it.

Obviously this isn't happening to everybody.

My suspension is that because everybody's S3 is innately different, this has the potential of happening to a handful of people. So consider this a warning, before you go flashing 4.3 ROMs, or anything for that matter, BACKUP INTERNAL STORAGE!

And if anybody can clue me in as to what could have happened to cause all this, I appreciate the feedback.

Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
I've noticed a pattern with this issue and titanium back up. Which I've never used once. Also users mentioned everything done correctly using TWRP. Which I've never used.

I've only used CWM and have never had any of these issues users are writing about with Titanium.

My only suggestion is that if 4.3 is going to be your choice of ROM, back up your SD card via PC.

There's nothing really anyone can say now... I mean you're stuff is already gone. Only that in the future

Back up your files on a computer, something that isn't connected to the phone at all. Sorry for your data loss.

I did, I just forgot to write it in there. :-/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
I've been picky on when to try 4.3. I tried one of the earlier 4.3 builds and of course there were issues and bugs galore, to be expected. Figured I'd wait until more beta and releases were posted. And this Beta 2 seems to be on point. I'm loving it.

Wipe Data/Factory Reset

Wipe cache

Wipe Dalvik cache

Wipe Battery Stats

Format/system. X2

Flashed 4.3 B2

Flashed 4.3 minimal gapps

Wiped cache.

Booted into ROM and Setup. I let the Play Store download all my apps like it normally does.

Naturally. I encountered A Launcher issue, it wouldn't open.

Settings>Apps>All>GooglePlayStore Cleared Data. Rebooted. Upon rebooting Google Play Store

Updated a lot of apps, including the Launcher that wouldn't open. And everything works perfect.

Went to Developer Options and changed Root Access from none to ADB and Apps.

Camera works perfect.

Phone never once got hot or Forced a reboot. Loving it.

Apps work perfect.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
ok... man... IM very sorry bro... your phone just threw up.. :(

Looks like you really got into trouble flashing the TK kernel, has anyone else tried it with Slim 4.3?

All battery related stats are using a ZeroLemon 7000mah battery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] genaro12543:
Have no clue if its just me but the slim minimal gapps for 4.3 wouldn't flash for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Frostacious:
Report back weekly about any force closes or reboots. Also take daily speed test as this build is suppose to address, in my understanding, the build up of memory and cause the phone to start slowing down just like windows/Mac.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I get gray signal bars also when the phone tries to connect to WiFi but once it connects they become blue :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
That's usually how it works, but for whatever reason, they're grey more often than they're blue. They go back and forth seemingly for no particular reason.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
For the ones with random reboots, and FCs. Check if you have the correct gapps. I used wrongs gapps once and my phone didn't stop fcing and rebooting.

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
This may have something to do with people experiencing problems. The title of the article is about the GS4, but the S3 is mentioned in there too. They list a few things like FCs, wifi issues, etc all affecting 4.3 updates. I don't know if this is exclusive to Samsung phones or what the deal is, but even though this is AOSP, I'm wondering if there is some sort of correlation between the two?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I reflashed the latest gapps for this build , its not just gapps fc , non gapps fc also like flipboard , xda etc.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] csmasn:
Well. My only issue with Slim is com.android.phone FCs sometimes when I reboot.

Try clean install, wipe /system and /data not just factory reset. Also check the sha sum.

If you have Nandroid Manager or titanium backup pro, you can install your apps from Play, and then restore data one by one.

been running build 2 since they released it with zero issues. fully wiped (wiped everything but the sdcard), flashed rom, flashed gapps they provided (aio gapps zip not the aroma) rebooted, let it restore all my apps, then rebooted, and set up my phone and settings. been running flawlessly since.

Ok. Super lame question. What the dpi set to on this Rom? I like how small everything looks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Ok I found the best way is change your DPI before you log into Google and you can change it back to 320 from the 245 that slim has as default

Sent from my InFeCtEd HellKat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigwillyg:
Well, since I am playing around with tw 4.3 I wanted to try and make everything smaller like on this Rom. I tried 300 initially but tw looks weird? Is there a way to adjust our resize it do I can use the full screen or just switch to nova launcher like slim bean?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
I have a nova kitkat launcher if you want to use that you also have to change grid sizes

Sent from my InFeCtEd HellKat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bigwillyg:
That would be cool. Another question, if I use nova on a tw Rom still I still have all of the tw features like face book sync and such? Sorry it's my first Samsung phone, I was an HTC nut before this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Yup, launcher is just that, it's not changing the framework at all like going to AOSP or something like that.

Some of the features may be a bit more hidden as it's not the TW launcher, but everything should still be there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bthorne79:
Yes you will have all tw stuff just a new face here is the apk for nova kitkat

Already running it, can't really notice anything different...which is a good thing as the last release worked well for me. Will be digging into it more this evening.

Also, this is good news as 4.3.1 is pretty much solid, means they will be having some 4.4 for us to play with soon enough :)
