You might also want to update to a newer version of TWRP. They're on 2.8.x now, I think.

It's baconnn!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks, that worked.

---------- Post added at 09:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:12 PM ----------

Thanks, I upgraded to v2.8.1
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
As background, we had been running stable 7.0 for quite awhile without issues, however, my wife's AT&T S3 started doing FC's when accessing missed calls on her dialer. That motivated me to update both of our S3's to stable 9.0. Her issue disappeared with 9.0 :) I'm now taking the occasion to review my Sprint S3. I have the following questions:

Which bootloader/baseband version is best for this ROM? I'm on ND8

Which is better (ie, more stable) version 7.0 or 9.0?

When will the 9.0 version of gapps become available? Any problem using 8.0 in the interim?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zhiwlin:
I think once you upgrade to nd8, cannot go backward. You'll brick your phone.

I use version 9, and find it more stable.

Gapps for android 4.4.4 is the stable version (385). I don't think any more development on it. All efforts seem to be on lollipop.

Edit: version 9 needs a clean install. Google play services crashes when I dirty flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrows83:
No LTE also

Hey, I see that some people were having issues with LTE on Stable 9. I am not using a Tri-Band S3 but I too am not getting LTE. I thought it could have been an APN issue to I used a backed up version of my APN but still no go. I didn't have this issue on Stable 7.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. Good news about version 9.0. That's scary about not being able to go backwards fron ND8.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
You can still flash any ROM you want, just can't downgrade the bootloader... Every ROM flash will still work the exact same way, but if you need to Odin you'll HAVE to use nd8 tar to do so

Phone won't boot, regular, recovery or in download mode.

I have been using this rom for about a week now. Today while I was on my phone, the phone just shut off. When I try to turn it on, it shows the samsung screen & then the slimkat screen & then nothing. When I try to boot into recovery mode, it shows the blue words at the top of the samsung screen, goes to the galaxy s 3 screen & then nothing. When I try to boot into download mode, it goes to the screen where it tells you to push up or down & then it cuts off after 1 second. What is going on with my phone? I have never had a problem like this.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Android Attack:
You could have a malfunctioning power button. If it is shutting off randomly, they power button may be "stuck." However, you won't feel that it is stuck. I think it is some internal component that isn't working properly. If you are familiar with soldering and taking apart phones, you can try to repair it by yourself. If not, you need to find somebody that won't question your rooted and flashed phone. There may be some local companies that could replace the power button if you bring them the part they need.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjgloster:
It was the power button. I took the phone apart & pushed down on the power button & voila, it works again. This explains why my phone would just reboot every now & then. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Android Attack:
No problem! Glad it's working. :) Just be careful, it might only be a temporary fix! You'll likely need to get it replaced in the near future. But I'm glad it's working! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CheapSk8:
I am having this issue right now too. It was working fine on 7 and I just noticed it on 9.0 not working. I have been on WiFi since flashing and finally went out of range yesterday to see no data. If I set the Preferred Network Type to 3g it connects, but it doesn't when set to LTE. I was trying to test to see if it was something to do with the APN being incorrect but each one I select or try seems to have the same issue.

Has anyone hit this problem and resolved it? Or, if someone is on Slim 9 and has working LTE, can you check your APN settings and see what you have for it?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrows83:
I created a backup and flashed a stock ROM. Then, Updated prl and profile and restored the ROM. It resolved my issue.

SMS stuck on sending

For the past couple of days, every time I send a text message, it stays stuck on sending even though the text actually goes thru. I have no problems with MMS. It's only regular text messages that stays stuck on sending. I did some research & saw that the problem is caused by using a RAM clearing app. This problem started when I first started using the app. I no longer use the app. In my research, it said to reboot your phone & it will go back to working. I have rebooted & cleared cache, but nothing has worked. Has anybody else had this problem? What did you do to fix it?

mp3 cannot be played

Everything's fine except music player - NO mp3 can be played.

Anyone has the same problem?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
I use mine solely as a music player, so if I had this problem, I'd be screaming on every page. Which is a long way of saying, no, everything's fine here. What app are you using and will others work?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Nice,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
My camera is freezing after taking one picture. I usually reboot and then restore the camera app using TB to recover. I'm running Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.9.0-OFFICIAL-8262 with Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.8.x-385. This is happening on both my L710 and my wife's I747. Any ideas on how to solve? Should I install another camera app and if so, which one is recommended? Our only requirement is that it be able to store pics to the SDCard. Any suggestions appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Sorry, wrong place to post my question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I was about to flash 9.0 when I remembered that I had not updated my recovery in a long time. I am currently on the most recent PhilZ-Touch Recovery 6.48.4[7.06.14], but it is from July. Will 9.0 flash fine or should I be using a more recent recovery?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjgloster:
Just found out that the RAM clearing app doesn't have anything to do with it. I wiped my phone & did a fresh install. Everything was working fine. Two days later, the issue has come back. Texts get stuck on sending but still go through. MMS goes through with no problems. I don't get what the problem is. Has nobody else had this problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
I think all PhilZ development has stopped. It'll probably work just fine, but if you wanted to update to the latest TWRP, that would work for sure.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
It seems to me that camera issues on AOSP roms are strange. Some people never get them, Some people get and fix them, and some people never get them fixed.

I am assuming you are on a clean install. First thing I would try is reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik only, then re-flash just the rom. Hopefully that clears up the problem.

If not, I'm kinda partial to Open Camera. In addition to being able to store on external sdcard, it has more options than you can shake a stick at.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. Yes, I did a clean install. Open Camera was also recommended on another thread. Think I'll give it a try esp. since the same problem happens on both our I747 and L710.

While I wait for SlimLP, I'd like to say I'm so glad I found this ROM. It breathed new life into my phone after all the trouble I'd had before. I've been out of contract for 4 months now but haven't felt like changing phones just because of rocksteady and customizable it is. Keep doing great work guys and I have full faith that SlimLP will continue the tradition of high quality software from this team!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
There's a some finicky commit breaking it. Long Story. I'd rather focus on SlimLP.

Does not mean I'll be ignoring you guys. Its just I have stupidest issues behind the scene.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks. I've been using Open Camera and it's performed flawlessly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mordbane:
No problems with the stock camera taking pictures here, but I did have the camera disconnect once after I let it lock with it open. Good tip with Open Camera. I'll check it out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirHustlerEsq:
How do you guys handle PRL updates? Are we still stuck going back to a stock ROM, unrooting, updating PRL, rooting, installing Slim?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CyberGmonster:
Sound like when I was on stock kernel except I couldn't get a day. I was on asswax myself with only over 2hr screen time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I forgot to mention that I also greenify most of my apps, leave most things turned off for sync except for Gmail, etc.

The only other advice I can give you is give your battery some time to settle and turn off / uninstall anything you don't need. Anything that syncs is constantly polling for data in the background. Also, if you don't have very good service where you are (I have great service at home and at work, where I'm at pretty much all day), the battery suffers because your phone is constantly looking for service.

Force Close

The only issue i've come across so far is some force close issues with candy crush. there is no force close dialog, just crash back to launcher. rebooting seams to solve the issue for a couple hours but then it returns. appears to be like a memory overflow error in the gpu but that's just a guess. Let me know if there is anything i can provide to help with this issue.

Then change the option "root access" to "apps and adb".

It says apps and adb are enabled but i had to uncheck and check to get root to work.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wolfpack15:
What I like to do after I flash minimal gapps is I go to Slim Center and delete Calendar.apk, Music.apk, YouTube.apk, Gmail.apk, and other Google Apps. I only keep the Play Store apk. Then, I go to the Play Store and reinstall all those apps. This way, you can update your apps without relying on Slim ROM to be updated. You don't have to worry about this if you flash new ROM every week.

You do not have to unroot. Any TW ROM (rooted or unrooted) is sufficient. I keep a rooted TW nandroid handy for this purpose. Nandroid to TW, update PRL and profile, then nandroid back to slim.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
Isn't there any other way to update the PRL? That seems like a PIA. How often does the PRL need to be updated? I haven't updated mine in the 6+ months I've been using SlimKat. What issues could be caused by not updating the PRL?

Also, from what I understand, the PRL is in a file on the phone. Wouldn't a nandroid restore overwrite the PRL file? (I don't know where it is stored, but if it is in the file system, a nandroid will wipe out the updated file with whatever was in the nandroid.)

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
Not that I am aware of. It is a bit of a PIA, but it also isn't really needed unless you are having signal issues. AFAIK, it is generally a good idea to update PRL after you update your baseband. But otherwise, if your phone is working well there isn't much reason to go through the trouble.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirHustlerEsq:
I can't seem to get LTE on 4.4.4 build 7 nor build 9. I suppose I'll start with updating baseband first. I will PM you about a decent TW ROM.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirHustlerEsq:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I have been on Stable 7 since it was released and have never had any LTE issues. I lost LTE and voice when i tried to upgrade to 7.1, and just reverted. I figured I was probably because I am still on the MD4 baseband & bootloader.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] min1968:
Just flashed build 9. base band DND8, no LTE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
What's your APN ? Make sure you are set to correct APN. If you are set to Ting or Boost mobile then you'd never get LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] min1968:
It's RingPlus (Sprint). Where can I set APN? cannot find in setup menu.

Before flashing this BIOS I've been using stock ROM for 1 year with RingPlus, always have LTE connection.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Setting> Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. Take what you find there as Selected APN, check to see if that is correct one for your Carrier's LTE Service. For Ex. T-Mo has two APNs, EPC.T-MOBILE.COM and FAST.T-MOBILE.COM respectively for H+ and LTE.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] min1968:
There is Ringplus in APN list of this ROM. I forced to enable that but no luck. I have 3G BTW
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Can you please flash the zip from #80 ? Yeah I know its different Device.

Please take a nandroid then do a clean flash before flashing this zip. After flashing hopefully you get to change your APNs. If so set it to the Correct one.

Please let me know the result.

So after searching around on the forum about the recent apps window I couldn't find an answer to my problem. I've noticed that when I hold the home button the recent apps window doesn't update with the latest app I've been using.
