No problem! I'm glad I could help.

I used to restore my settings in TiBu, but I stopped: If I started getting random FCs or slow-downs, I could never tell if it's because I restored a system file in TiBu or if it's a ROM error. So in order to better trouble-shoot, I only restore user-apps and data, and just manually adjust my settings. Thankfully I only like minor adjustments to the stock UI which I can configure in a few minutes (that, and practice makes perfect, haha).

That's the same reason I always do a full wipe whenever installing a new ROM (even when just upgrading from RC2 to RC3, etc).

Backup slim, Boot into a tw rom and update prl and profile, if still no 4g dial ##72786# while on the tw rom, once it gets done you should then have 4g,if not its network problems unrelated to the rom, if you do, restore your backup and you'll still have 4g,it's not the rom though, I get 4g just fine

I use well over 50GB most months, sometimes over 100GB, they aren't blocking 4g because you use your unlimited data, could be tower problems in your area... What modem are you using, if not the newest flash the newest

Every one with problems make sure you're wiping /system partition before flashing the stable build like it instructs on the slim website to avoid issues! This means you'll have to reflash gapps (which you need to do anyways since they were just updated a few days ago) but it's worth it in the end to avoid little gremlins
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DurhamHusker:
If you take a minute to Google the following: android internal storage vs external storage

... it will give you a better explanation that I can, but here goes:

"Internal storage" is your internal flash memory (internal sdcard). Our GS3 comes in 16 Gbyte or 32 Gbyte flavors and is in reference to this "internal" storage capacity and is non-removable.

"External storage" refers to your removable Micro SD card.

When I plug my SlimKat powered phone into my Windows 7 laptop, the internal storage shows up in an Explorer window as "Internal Storage" and the Micro SD Card shows up as "SD card."

Before wiping internal storage I always make sure all of my nandroid backups, ROM zips, application backups, pictures, music, and all other media files and documents I want to keep are stored on the removable, "external" sdcard. I don't ever wipe external storage.

Just be careful. Unless you know exactly what you're doing, its probably best not to wipe either of those storage spaces if you think you might blow away something want to keep.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Right, that part I knew, I didn't know if maybe it would skip the DCIM folder or not, which is where the pictures are stored, or if it would literally blow everything internally away.

Can you apply cm11 themes to this ROM? If so, how? If not, is there an alternative to changing themes? I'm new to Slimkat.

No... And there is the chamber of secrets for changing colors of some things, I recommend to not use it unless you know what you're doing though, you can really mess things up

There's an Xposed module for theming, but slim is working on their own theme engine based off TRDS that could end up being more comprehensive than the old CM theme engine.

no downloads from play store

Anyone having an issue downloading from the play store?

I just came off a stock ODIN flash of MD4 + 4.2.1 (because I lost root and bunch of other crap / long story)

Anyway, I updated to TWRP 2.6.3.1 and flashed OP version of KK RC3 and the GAPPS 4.4.2. And now after 2 reboots, I am still not able to download anything from the play store, but I am able to use 4G to get to any internet website....

The whole thing feels a little sluggish... even though I did a FULL wipe (cache/dalvik/data/system/storage) two times before flashing in the same session.

ANy clues? BTW< i am afraid of KNOX... so im not keen on trying to upgrade my modem to MK3 as a solution.....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ0000:
Here is an mk3 flash that will have no effect on Knox.

Maybe re-download your gapps again. You could have got a bad download or try a different gapps package. Also I had the same issue before and reboot seemed to work for the play store.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] topherk:
One thing is to make sure you're using the correct GAPPs with the correct build of SlimKat. I'd recommend making sure you're on Build 3 (released on 2-16-2014, filename: Slim-d2spr-4.4.2.build.3-OFFICIAL-3060) and the correct version of GAPPS (also released on 2-16-2014, filename: Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.2.build.3)

I don't know if the newest modem will help, but you don't have to worry about KNOX if you use this file from CNexus. It is only the modem, not the bootloader, so KNOX is not installed. I flashed this myself when my 4G was going a bit wonky and am still KNOX-free.

Hope this helps!

I have read up on all the CNexus posts - He has very well and thought out posts for warnings and explanations even in the VZW threads.

I guess his last few posts on the link above still made me over paranoid since I do plan to return/sell the phone back to Best Buy in another 5 months when my contract ends up, so I would like to return with ODIN flash of 4.2.1 / 4.3 equivalent to recent OTA's, (which I have not kept up with), and Custom Binary Count 1, which is where I started today.

Liquid Smooth 4.3.2 to ODIN MD4 flash + 4.2.1, to now SlimBean 4.4.2.

activation?

For those on MK3 and and Slim KK Build 3, Did anyone else get a prompt for Activation on the first screen after first boot after picking English? It dials *22899 option 1, and they says activation failed???

Whats with that? Other posts from the past say to switch to KT or Lean kernel.... so is stock CM based kernel not stable?

Also noticed if you are using LTE only first, without joining wifi AP, Google Play does not download apps after first boot (Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.build.3), but the browser works and can surf the internet.... ANyone else confirm?

__________

Edit 1

1 quick wipe of cache / dalvik + flash of Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.2.build.3 + wipe c/d again fixed the issue. Open question still on the activation piece / kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] 88EVGAFTW:
I've heard to disregard the Activation thing. I did a few times before on 4.3 and 4.4.1 and had no issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ssmercurys:
I get this too. Cancel the call and skip the activation. It shouldn't cause any issues. It only happens on initial clean installs.

On a side note -- Is it ok to use the PA Gapps with this instead of the Slim Gapps? I prefer to remove the messaging app/browser/keyboard with the Full google package they have. Would this cause any issues?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcatank:
Arrrrgggghhhhh....The gravy boat left without me....

How come no one else is having Camera issues... and I am???

And yes, I did wipe 3x times everything (cuz I am paranoid) with KK build3+minimal build 3 gapps flash...

Wipe C/D then Reflashed gapps then Wipe again = No dice!:(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gunfromsako:
There is an LTE issue with ALL the latest d2 unified builds. I and several others have confirmed this. LTE is fine until you reboot then it is gone and you can only connect to evdo rev A. I flashed the latest d2spr build and LTE persists through reboot...zero issues. I can reproduce this error at will, and on any unified build, so anyone doubting me please save your breath. This is without a doubt an issue!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Thanks for the heads up, but you're saying the d2spr build is fine and doesn't have this issue? It's sitting on my phone right now and I was hoping to flash it tonight.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gunfromsako:
The d2spr build is holding LTE fine through reboot however the d2lte build was not connecting after reboot. It's like this for all d2lte builds for me at least. I'm going to try vanir unified and see if it happens again. It seems to be phone specific as some are not reporting any issues at all. It drove me crazy last night and I stayed up until 2am trying to figure it out.

Edit: Vanir unified has the same issue for me as well as for people that are in hangouts with me. I'm going to decompile dialer.apk and telephony-common.jar from d2spr and d2lte and diff to see what changed. I could be wrong but it's the only place I know to start looking.

Edit2: wow lots of changes...this will take awhile. 49 changes in telephony-common.jar and 129 in dialer.apk

Edit3: Does anyone have a link for slim d2lte? I can't find any on slimroms site so I've been using the d2lte files from liquid smooth. I just wanna eliminate and possible discrepancies as a lot has changed in these 2 files which I figured as much. Or just upload you telephony-common.jar and dialer.apk here, it would be much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ssmercurys:
I don't think Slim made a d2lte version, I believe it's only d2spr which explains why its one of the few AOSP roms that still have working LTE after reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gunfromsako:
OK...I was thinking maybe there was an ota that was unified that's why I asked. My phone wants to update but Im on the latest from their site so I was just assuming. And you see where that got me...lol.

I'm not going to delve into this as there are way too many changes in these files. I will see what I can do about the voicemail notification since I already have these B's decompiled...

Hey guys, a bit off topic, but this has been driving me nuts for a while now. Whenever I'm at my house, this is the wifi signal almost all the time. Sometimes it's blue but I'd say 95% of the time, it's gray like this.

I'm still running 4.3 and will move to 4.4 tonight, but since my wifi at work is perfect (blue all day) I know it's not an issue with the OS or I would try that first. Do you guys have any suggestions on what I can look into? I tried port forwarding 5225 (Google Play) but still no dice.

The router is a Cisco Linksys e2500 for what it's worth.

Any ideas would be appreciated. I've searched online and haven't found anything worth mentioning or really relevant to the same issue. Maybe some different settings in the router? I'm looking for anything you guys might think of.

EDIT: All laptops connect fine all the time and I don't seem to have the issue with my Note 8.0 either. It just seems to be an issue with my phone and my wife's, which is also a GS3 but stock.

Torch and incoming calls

ok some more issues. maybe just mine but issues none the less. Torch caused my phone to freak, reboot and screen to go crazy. had to pull battery, tried again and same thing ,after being on for 30 seconds it happened again. Second, whenever i get a call, it says unknown caller, even though i know these people are in my contacts, and it is with every call???....

I guess i will just wait for this to come out of beta.

After being on cm10.2 nightly for a few days and dealing with bugs after bugs I decided to ditch the 4.3 until it get more stable then out of just pure impulsiveness I decided to try this today. All I can say is that I'm glad I did! Not one issue I can notice so far. Just rock solid. I will try Bluetooth tomorrow on my way to work. Fingers crossed:)

Anyone been able to get Ti back up to work yet on 4.3? Look like the support is implemented now but still not working for me. Can't restore anything and it just stay stuck on the progress bar.

You can also move your TiBu backup folder to your external card, then change in TiBu preferences. That's how I have mine set with no problems.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Frostacious:
Yup I can conquer. I have had no problems with app and data restore so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] gimmeitorilltell:
Thank you so much for this but I'm a little late to read your post! I have already deleted everything in my TiBu and installed everything fresh. It's no big deal since I didn't have anything important backed up. I need to remember this "if" for some reason I go back to 4.2 or another rom, but I have a feeling I'll be sticking with this one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xxSTARBUCKSxx:
Used CWM Touch from the start.

Read the website to its entirety where it states full wipe = factory reset + format/system

and that if your using Titanium change your restore path to legacy.

Given that, I've still yet to have any problems so far. Phone left unplugged overnight and waking up

the battery consumption is superb. It barely took any life away, where in the past it could vary. That's

a plus for when the drinking gets out of hand and one can tend to just nod off.

Again, the only issue I've had so far is the Browser FCd on me once yesterday. I had the Ubuntu OnAir and IRC going on one tab

and out of habit switched over to my Facebook tab and it acts normal, the video stopping and no more sound from the video

being automatically paused. Tabbed back over to Ubuntu OnAir and trying to get the video to load back up it FCd.

No big deal like the last time. Is imply opened the browser right up without having to reboot and everything was normal.

A blessing in disguise.

Camera. Front and back... Superb, no issues.

Apps.. No issues as well.

Bluetooth, no issues. Like I read in an earlier post a couple of pages back, sometimes turning off the device itself and even 'forgetting'

the device can help with keeping Bluetooth off once done using it. However, I personally had no issues, not to say it can't happen.

I don't know what else to do but wait for Build 3. This build has really been a Godsend considering where its at and the obstacles

that were potentionally going to make this a reflash to 4.2.2 again.

I need coffee.. Its early. BoL to everyone else flashing this build for the first time.

And remember to format/system when you do a 'full wipe' or like stated, you might run into some restore scripts issues.

Something I noticed (very minor) is that the built in Music player on Stable 3.0 BT does not display the artist on my radio. It does show track name and album but no artist.

This is minor like I said as Play Music/Apollo work fine (I pulled Apollo from CM and that works) so it might be a minor tweak in whoever makes that Music app :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Ok I let LeanKernel settle for a couple days, set up everything (Greenified all the apps I needed to, installed all my apps, setup homescreens, changed animations to fast and scales to .5x, etc.), and all is zippy once again, as zippy as the latest 4.3 SlimBean. I am very happy with this setup and no force closes to report. Camera and BT working fine here.

Cons I've noticed (most are just issues with KitKat in general): no native Adobe Flash support in browsers like Chrome (I know there's the workaround but this only enables flash in Dolphin, which I don't use), no power widget in the dropdown curtain (QS tiles are cumbersome and slow to find; even iOS 7 went to the quick toggles that Jellybean had), less customization than SlimBean (i.e. I may be missing it but where are things like "reboot to recovery" or the LCD density changer module?), less battery life than SlimBean (my phones easily drains after half a day now virtually doing nothing on it and having most apps greenified; used to easily go a day on the old ROM + LeanKernel, maybe ART would help but that's not compatible with Xposed, which I use to greenify system apps), no kill all button in the recent apps view (very useful for me when I wanted to kill all my recents with one button and start my phone "fresh" without rebooting).

Everything else is wonderful and running beautifully. My many thanks to the Slim Team and especially the S3 devs for making our phones usable day after day with these great ROMs.

P.S. I highly recommend a third party kernel for anyone running into issues or slowdowns with this ROM (which I find to be very stable after having had it on my phone since its release). My personal favorites are LeanKernel (if you want to set it and forget it; it's undervolted and the governor/scheduler combo here is unbeatable) and BMS (if you want more control over choosing your own governor/scheduler and tweaking additional settings). Also, CLEAN install is a MUST; don't try to flash this over an old ROM, stable releases should always be flashed clean.

Reboot to recovery is under settings, security, advanced reboot. DPI changing is coming in the near future, but is easy enough to do with a build.prop edit or textdroider_dpi from the Play Store.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Ahh that's where reboot to recovery went, it was in developer options before, thanks! I know DPI is easy enough to change but the module made it integrated and flawless with no play store issues later on. Looking forward to them adding it back in. I'm surprised they didn't go with 280 with this release as default as that is the best compromise for most ppl. Anyway everything running awesome here!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Yup, 280 is what I set mine to as well. Regarding the quick settings/toggles, whatever you want to call them. You can also set it up where when you pull the notification tab down, it'll go to those if there isn't a swipe-able notification present. That's how I have mine set up.

So if there's no email/text message/etc that you can swipe away, when I pull it down the toggles are there. I also set it up to have 4 across instead of 3. Looks better IMO as well.

Does anyone have ANY ideas on the wifi question I posed earlier? I have good enough LTE at home where it's not a huge issue, but even doing something like casting to chromecast takes forever and it all has to relate to the same thing. I'm tempted to get another router, but I don't want to if I might run into the same issues again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcatank:
does this ROM not have profiles like CM?
