I've seen it and said this before, it may be different now but initially with 4.3 this was the case;

Many were having trouble flashing ROMs, getting them to boot etc. Those that had issue were using twrp. I'm not saying everyone using twrp had problems, its clear you didn't but those with issues were using twrp recovery and upon going to cwm their issues were no longer present.

I'm waiting for Android Milky Way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Yeah, because 1.9 had issues with the newer kernels because of the recent graphical changes. I'm guessing Slim didn't have time to compile a new kernel and as a result, switched to CM's kernel, which already has the changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Sooooo get on my level.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stolly08:
I think its because people don't wipe their **** correctly! Factory reset in twrp 2x and format data 1x...... NEVER I MEAN NEVER have I had an issue... Been on 4.3 since it came out except when I switched to MOAR for like a week...

I'm running the stable2 with stock kernel and everything is flawless.... This is from 2 days ago when I was at a big open house dyno day... Taking pictures of cars and videos of them on the dyno all day...

has anybody successfully flashed dkp kernel?

i flashed dkp-aosp43 2013-09-20 stable.zip and I got a weird looking blue screen and no boot after slim bean static animation.

then I flashed dkp-enable-vmin.zip as per dkp thread directions, and I got the same blue screen, but it finally booted with inverted colors I think?

Also, a separate issue, I am getting ridiculous drain from Phone app for some reason. I am not using it at all, and it still drains. I have screenshots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Custom kernel has to be dated from 10/19 or newer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Ok well let me ask this. I am not having great battery life with this particular kernel that slim is using. Are people using other kernels, if so, what do they use and what governor/scheduler combo?

Slim is amazing, havent taken it off in over a year!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Use the test kernel. I'm using the 10/27 build for now and it works well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Sounds good. Just flashed, freelunch/sio. Seems pretty solid. Thanks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
People used to have problems with earlier 4.3 builds in the cm thread. Using twrp. Maybe not anymore and maybe not on newer builds but. I'm having no data issues that I've noticed. I'm using dkp with no issues. No lag etc. I enable hardware acceleration for 2d or whatever it's called but don't do the overlays option. Battery had been fine me. Maybe not 1.9 good but good nonetheless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Anyone have a link to download the Slim_aroma_selectable_gapps.4.3.build.1.x.zip from the 1.9 build, so the 20th gapps i think? I am trying to go back to 1.9 since I am having some issues on 2 and would like the old gapps too. I know that the build 2 gapps should work but i don't like the new play store in particular so just want the 1.9 gapps. Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
If nobody else replies, I have the Slim minimal gapps for 1.x. I can pm in a few hours if you want those.

Edit:

Hey all, is anyone else experiencing freezing in apps when viewing them in landscape? First I though it was Chrome Beta, so I tried Chrome stable and other apps and it appears to occur regardless of the app I'm using. Then I thought it was custom kernel related so I switched from BMS to KT, still had issues. Then I thought it was Xposed related so I clean installed then tried without Xposed so now I'm on stock kernel and it's still occurring.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
I don't like how laggy build 2 is, so I restored my 1.9 backup.

I flashed the build 2 gapps over my 1.9 backup. works well.

I did'nt notice there was a difference with the play store.

(doesn't mean there is no difference, I just rarely open the play store to notice)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
It's different in terms of how you access the my apps section and also it uses the gingerbread icon for notifications when using dark slim. No biggie, glad to know build 2 gapps work fine if I can't find anyone with the 1.9 gapps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:

Awsome thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbear6708:
coming from a gnexus that didnt have an sd card slot..does it make sense to throw an sd into the s3? can i partition it and push apps to it? i used to do that on my old htc evo when on sprint...can someone who uses an ext sd card talk me the ropes?! thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
There's no reason to ever put apps on an external sd. That was only useful in gingerbread devices. Use external for all your media (music, videos, pics), rom zips, nandroids, titanium backups, etc. Unless you use Google music and set all your songs to be played offline, you'll never run out of storage on your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ECrispy:
I am very happy with Stable build 1. I suppose I should update to build 2, but don't really see the need.

The real question is how soon before we see 4.4, and how long till its bugs are worked out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That is exactly how I use my 32 GB sdcard.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] indyssee:
Exactly the same here. That's why it drives me crazy that Google refuses to put sdcard slots in the nexus phones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
That's the one thing keeping me away from the Nexus 5.... Oh, and because Verizon sucks balls!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
[MENTION=4408910]nicklovell23[/MENTION], idk why but stable build 2 wouldn't let my phone use landscape for long periods without it freezing and displaying a graphical glitch just as it occurred. This kept happening on clean flash and with custom kernels. I had to drop down to my backup of 1.9 cuz it didn't seem to go away for me. I have a logcat of it happening as well. This is from a build 2 where I had everything installed I can post one with a clean flash and fewer apps installed if you need it.

Edit: If anyone else sees anything in here let me know. I wouldn't mind isolating my landscape issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] willbur73:
Stable 2 is by far the most solid 4.3 rom that I have used. Eclipse is also great, though it doesn't have all the same great features that SlimBean has.

Great work! Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
If anyone needs the aroma installer. I have the latest 1.9 and 4.2.2 as well.

I'm just getting caught up in the forums so look over anything answered previously. Just figured I'd chime in on anything I could either help with or give insight. I owe the ROM this much since I really can't afford to donate. Even when i was wishing fur matter even though made beans for what i did considering both state and national averages for the same work. Maybe when I get some financial stuff inline. Just for laid off from a job as Cad /permit / GIS / automotive body tech and local sys amin for about 30 PCs 2 plotters and I've even ran cabling as the network was a mess when I for there. I even changed the paper towels in the bathroom. I even ran a fork lift to transport a new floor model scanner plotter combo with attached. All locations considered they got rid of about fifteen people and closed one location. I'd say eighty percent of the work is coal industry related. And that industry is in decline for better or worse. Sorry I got off topic but I haven't told many people.

I don't understand why sins phones are laggy. I think I've seen that mentioned elsewhere as well but I really can't tell a difference in speed. I'd have to run both. Or at least 1.9 again because I restored my nandroid of the latest after trying moar 6 a nice TW ROM, it's one of my favorite TW ROMs but in just too attached to slim and AOSP.

But really when do you notice the difference. I did notice the free mupen N64 emulator ran a bit worse it ran Mario kart fine but the scoring screens and startup screens weren't viewable. As I catch up I'll post on other things to and be a more active participant I just don't leave tapatalk running all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
I was getting a delay when switching between Screens and apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
That's what I'd use mine for that's what I use my current one for. Did you all sprung for a class ten or a plain ol' class 4.? Also if you got a class 10. Which brand?

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 PM ----------

Any apps in particular? I honestly haven't noticed it but again I did wipe everything, no restore of system apps, and force GPU rendering. Not sure if that helps but it should be better to do screen draws and such with the GPU instead of the CPU but I've read several arguments against it. I set the animations scales to be a bit quicker at .5 to. 75. I may try 1.9 just for it's and giggles.

I don't remember. Generally all the settings screens, emails, messaging etc.

I don't understand you're gpu-cpu animation scales and such. Never messed with any of that before and not going to try now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
32 GB Class 4 SD card by PNY. I've had it since release day and have had no problems. I set my animations to .5 as well.

For stable build 2, yes.

I have always set the animations to .5 cuz it makes them go faster. When I have them set at 1x, transitions between apps, in the app switcher, opening apps, and etc all look too slow. This is just what I'm used to.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I have always used .5 animations on every Rom Ive ever ran. I turn window animations completely off.

Oh and BTW, its getting close: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2514380

Well, I just had to do it. I restored my build 2 backup. Then set my animations to .5, force GPU, and set gpu governer to performence. This phone rocks now like never before. Thanks for the info.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XXchocolatetouchXX:
Hi guys!

Great ROM been running it for a few days now and I just have a couple questions.

1) The My Verizon data usage widget says "Your Mobile Number could not be validated, Please try later." I was wondering if there was a fix for this? I use that a lot to check my data usage, and all other methods are a pain for me so I was wondering if there was an easy fix for that?

2) Secondly, Every morning it seems my lock-screen disappears. When I wake my phone in the morning it jumps right to the home-screen does not display the lock-screen at all even if I shut the screen off and back on. I have to reboot to get the lock-screen back. Is this a known issue or am I a special case? I was wondering if there was a fix for this too? I also have to note I run Tasker, and in the morning it does a run though and turns on everything I need each day, but I did test that and it seemed to be fine so I do not believe that is the issue.

Thanks!

Anyone here using Xposed modules successfully with 4.3 Slim Bean?

In particular, is anyone using these modules without trouble?

-Gravity Box

-Greenify

-XuiMod

I'm driving 300 miles to my Cousin's next week to hang out and I'll do my bi-annual flashing/updating of their S3 ROM's.

I don't have an S3 myself, so I can't test it. So please let me know if any of you are having problems. Don't want to flash something on their phones that will cause bugs.

Also, is the 1.9 Slim Bean still considered more stable than the current 2.0?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I've generally been using the Greenify and Xhalo MW modules and they seemed fine on every build from the last month. I was having some issues with landscape in apps on stable build 2 even with Xposed removed but I might be the only one with that specific issue. Give stable build 2 a try and see how it works. I have dropped back to weekly 1.9 because I know that worked best for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
1) you need to download something from Verizon's end (don't remember the exact app though).

2)probably something on your end. Never happened to me when I used any builds of slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaskwith:
Love this ROM, running the latest build and its extremely smooth and functional, the only issue is when my signal dwindles it will drop to a bar and I'll lose any kind of data(no 1x, 3g, lte..) And it won't come back... Only thing that will fix it is rebooting my phone... Even if I have no signal sometimes I just reboot and i will have signal... Its frustrating because I'll be waiting for a call or text and my phone won't go off and then I'll check it and see I lost service and reboot it and all the sudden my phone starts blowing up with texts and missed call..? Any ideas guys?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
Are you on the latest firmware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaskwith:
Believe so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
Yup you are. No clue man. I suggest wiping cache and Dalvik and reflashing the ROM alone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaskwith:
I think I had this same issue when I have ran this in the past I thought maybe it was an aosp type issue... I'll try a wipe and re flash though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wishx:
Frozen at boot screen before animation.

I'm frozen at the splash screen (pre-boot animation). How can I fix this and get 4.3 build 2 installed? I have TWRP 2.6.3.0 now. This is the first time it's done this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You may not to see this but your best bet is to try flashing with CWM or attempting another clean flash in TWRP. Failing that, you can stay over with Odin, root, then try again. I'm unaware of any other options, maybe someone else is? Cuz I recall any users who had issues finding a resolution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Uh oh snoop! Do u know what happens when u tell ppl on here to use CWM instead of TWRP? They freak out man. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Haha! I'm just trying to enjoy my sports Sunday in peace before Walking Dead!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Good luck with that. My old fav breaking bad has ended.

But on the cwm twrp deal. I distinctly remember in the unofficial cm thread for 10.2 many people had issues with twrp when installing. Issues that went away when using cwm. So these his aren't trying to start a war or anything. Just telling it how it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Let them freak out then. Truth is 90% of the flashing issues reported by my testers disappear after switching to cwm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stolly08:
90% of users don't actually wipe they're phones correctly lol

On stable build 2 still since release and still no issues to report.... Good job Slim! Now let's get some KitKat rolling!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I understand wanting to make ur phone as different from stock as possible but why is an alternate recovery so important? Are there extra features with TWRP that im not aware of? I have read in multiple (just about every) 4.3 threads TWRP causing problem with 4.3 yet ppl cling to it like its their only child. I cannot tell u how many arguments I get into on this site bc of TWRP. I wish more devs would add to the OP "Do Not report bugs if using TWRP, switch to CWM then report any issues" it would save a lot of the Devs time. $10 says I get a post quote saying "I use TWRP and everything is fine. Why you hating?" Awesome for u but some ppl run into issues. Why take the chance?

oh BTW heres a weird issue i ran into yesterday. I copied some text from an email and pasted it to my messaging app to send as a text. Went through fine. The i tried to do it again later for another friend and after I pasted and hit send the messaging app started freaking out and giving me a "Android Process has stopped working message". Then right after that I could not get into the Messaging app without it showing that message and FCing. I had to open the app and quickly hold the message I just tried to send to delete it before the FC message popped up. Then after deleting the message I couldnt get any SMS/MMS to send, I had to clear data/cache of the app then reboot and it started working again. Probably just a freak thing but i was wondering if anyone else has ever ran into this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Idk about anyone else but I switched to TWRP so that I could natively name nandroid backups lol. If CWM has that now, cool, but I wanted to see what TWRP was about in the early months of this device plus I wasn't a fan of the blobs and backup as separate folders. Been with it ever since but as you know, I make sure to cover my bases when helping other users with issues by suggesting both recoveries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
<rant>For every one person reporting a problem there are 10 more without issue. When a new rom version comes out and people flash it and it's working nobody is gonna come on here and say "Hot Damn! TWRP flashed this ***** like a champ! woooooo!" People report specific problems (such as when they do have an issue) or general successes ("This rom is smooth!").

I'll bite and be that guy...I have been using TWRP exclusively for a year and a half now and have yet to run into a single issue caused by it. Why take the chance? It is just like dirty flashing...Just do it. If you have issues do a clean wipe and start over. If you are running into issues flashing roms with TWRP, that is great. Flash with CWM and move on. Personally I like the ease of use and the flashing queue. </rant>
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stolly08:
I agree and to add all these people who have these issues never report what version of twrp they are using and hardly report what method aka how many times and the order they did certain things... We have to pry that info out of them then when we know what they did we say, hey try it this way ...blah blah blah.... They do it that way and 9/10 times its fixed.... Its just the fact people aren't doing things 100% correct from what I've seen and how I've helped people out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:

If changing recoveries fixes someone's issue, so be it, but I'd agree that there's something else wrong...whether it's apps, or tweaks or versions or whatever. I'm running 4.3 build 2, dirty flashed over 4.2 build 8 using twrp and I'm not having any issues. Having worked support for hardware and software for going on 15 years, it's pretty safe to assume that if someone is having a problem then it's probably because of something they've done, either intentionally or not.

What's a recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I've read that updating twrp was necessary for the 4.3 builds. I could be wrong because I don't use it. AFAIK twrp has many more features than clockwork. But clockwork has worked for me since my DX days so since it ain't broke....

For two more cents I've flashed both 1.9 and 2 in the past few days. I can't tell any difference. But again I don't use Bluetooth. Speed and app switching are the same for me with the apps that I use. Generally just stock messaging a few games like freecell and some emu's. Apollo and ROM toolbox pro. Oh tibu too. I only restore data on apps like freecell and mupen. I swear I can't tell a difference. We'll see how battery compares once two are installed a bit longer.

Got a few issues here maybe someone has an answer:

1) the my Verizon mobile app no longer work's (says phone number cannot be verified) does anyone know a fix for that?

2) I get lockscreen issues. Randomly, my lock screen will just "disappear" and the only day to bring it back is rebooting. Tried stuff in settings it didn't work. It randomly will just no longer be there. Would a re-flash be the best way to fix this?

3) The home+sleep key for the screenshot does not work for me. Is this no longer available in the ROM or is that another issue I'm having?

I do have to say I used CWM to flash this ROM.

Thanks!

Anyone else have issues with YouTube when connected to bluetooth audio? If I rotate the screen I get a gray overlay that makes the video dark and I can't get it off. Have to fc YouTube and start it in landscape. As long as I stay in landscape it's fine but as soon as I rotate I get the overlay. Also there is like a 5 second audio delay that is not present on stock roms. Other than that everything is great!

Now I've clean flashed twice and no help.
