Camera Autofocus corrected.

Changes to SlimRecents, the way Top task is displayed.

More Translations introduced Russian and Estonian (Perhaps ES ?)

Enable USB Host Notify. Not sure what to make of this. Possibly control the way Phone is detected.

Full Change Log - Here

Rom - Here

Gapps Updated - Here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
What is power off charging?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
As I said, beats me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nostrings:
This is speculation on my part, since I haven't yet had the chance to flash the latest...

With the past few ROMs, if you charged the phone while it was off, the kernel boot image would come up and stay that way (you couldn't turn the phone on). The workaround was to yank the battery and cord out, put the battery in, turn phone on. Then put the cord back on.

I am hoping this release addresses that...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I had thought of the same thing. I was expecting the Bootloader animation of a Charging Battery and No Kernel.

Ah Wishful thinking. Just turned off for laughs. Plugged in and no joy. The Kernel Animation came on briefly followed by Bootloader's Battery animation. (I use KT747 for a kernel)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iamikon:
Sounds like you need to go back to tw and update prl/profile. Its not the ROMs fault. Happens sometimes on all aosp ROMs.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Volknochi:
Bugger. I was looking into that, actually. Looks like I have no choice, sadly.

EDIT: I flashed a MOAR ROM with updated PRL and Profile but I'm still suffering the same lack of reception. I'm wondering if this area I'm in is just sh!tty for Sprint service.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:

Niceeeeee
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Hello,

I just installed this today and got it all setup. I notice I am not receiving my text messages though.

What can I do to fix this please?

*EDIT* So I went back to a TW rom and did the ##77... activation thing, then updated prl and profile rebooted to TW rom, then recovery and nandroid back to this rom. I still am not receiving text messages on the messaging app. If I enable Google Voice though, the text message shows up there, but still not in the messaging app built into this rom.

Out of curiosity, having this version of this rom on my phone, and the nexus 7 version of this rom installed on the nexus 7, would that cause any kind of conflict?

Thank you,

Whiteice
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shinesthru:
There would be no conflict.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DizzyMP:
Check the settings on your Google Voice and under "Sync and Notifications" set it to "Receive text messages" via the messaging app. Mine got switched to the Voice app at one point without me realizing it and did the same thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
On the TW rom and the Illusion rom I have no problem receiving text messages on the default app and at the same time, google voice. On this rom the default messenger app still won't receive. I sent a text out and the person received it but it doesn't receive incoming texts.

I nandroid back to Illusion and it all works again.

Any help? I really like the look of this ROM on default.

Thank you,

Whiteice

How do I do a full wipe and where would I need to store my files before I flash
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
Awesome build!

The music lagging for 1-2 seconds while playing through Bluetooth was fixed, but the bug where you can never turn Bluetooth off(short of force close) is still present.

Overall, still pretty solid
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Khaneliman:
Loving this rom! Thanks again for another great release. I will post about battery once I have run it for a couple days
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tcowl:
i've been on build 3 since it's release. haven't had any issues so far. battery life is great! ranging between 18-26 hrs depending on usage. don't use any bluetooth media streaming devices just bluetooth sync in my car for phone calls. haven't had any issues in that department. i can back up the not being able to turn off bluetooth, though not worlds largest issue. lol

gotta say this rom is damn stable for beta. most certainly a dd for most.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] n3td3v:
Anytime that I apply a custom ringtone, the ringtone plays once and even if the caller continues ringing an audible tone is nil once the initial playback of the ringtone is complete. It's almost as if the looping of ringtone playback got eliminated since 4.2. Is there a hidden setting that I have missed somewhere to enable ringtone playback/looping until the caller is answered or hangs up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTOJim:
I also have the same problem, my phone rings once, for caller it continues ringing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Does this kernel support Crossbreeder? I'm loving this build as is, but CB does a lot to help with overall lag, especially with running the more conservative governors like asswax.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tcowl:
nandroid and try it out. i'm downloading it now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
I've flashed both crossbreeder and killjoy (even at the same time) and they both work. I stopped using crossbreeder cause it broke my adblocking. it does that on all 4.3 roms.

edit: running slim with leankernel and killjoy
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
Why don't you use adaway
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nostrings:
Well, there goes that.

Thanks for checking.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Does that mean whatever new BT bug was found in 5.9 is fixed in 5.10 which you just stated is released? I use BT all the time so if there are still any bugs, always good to know about. I'm still running 5.4 weekly as everything works just peachy ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I haven't personally tested yet. But on one of other threads, users have posted that on 5.10 Bluetooth is working as expected. If I was you, I won't just to 5.10 just yet. Give it a day or two.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Well well, two days goes by and not a single post. Something must be working well....downloading now.

What other kernels are people using? I know LeanKernel is a pretty popular choice, is anyone using Quantum by chance?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Does anyone have any idea where the emojis are so I can replace them with the standard emoji? I'll decompile the entire ROM if I have to but I'd prefer to just run an updater.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amart6116:
Confused after flash...

So I decided to try this ROM(using the latest TWRP Touch Recovery) with my d2spr which is fully flashed to Cricket. Everything installed correctly and even booted up correctly, however, after installing titanium to begin my stripping process Titanium said I didn't have root. I then installed root checker(which said the same thing), and last of all, SU(which said that I had to update the SU binary but wouldn't actually update the SU binary.. I manually rebooted into TWRP(which booted correctly) and is still on my phone... When I first flashed this ROM I chose advanced wipe, selected dalvik, system, data, and cache and then wiped. I finished with a factory reset. Did I break my root? I know I chose the right download(d2lte). I'm going to retry the wipe and the flash and will repost, but any point in the right direction will help. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wvhellbilly333:
Go into settings and turn on developer settings, then go into developer options and turn on root for apps and adb... ;)

I replaced the camera with a Samsung cam from ebay, and it works on 4.4.3 v5.9. AWESOME!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKryptonite:
Why does the sound go out (when I put in my earphones)? Anyone experiencing the same problem?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Does it go out completely, or is it skipping, like it's pausing and un-pausing in a few milliseconds? Cause I'm getting the second one and it's driving me nuts. Changing kernels and kernel settings doesn't matter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Can you change your Audio app ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TheKryptonite:
It goes out completely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
My music player? Unfortunately, no. All Access kinda has me locked in to using Google Play Music. And I use this device solely as an offline music player.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That's Google play's switchover mechanism probably. When I switch from headset to bluetooth and back, its pretty much seamless.

NEW BUILD STABLE 6 is UP

Detailed Change Log - Here

Let me know if you want me to provide a Non-Geeky Summation
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
My issue is skipping/millisecond pausing-unpausing during consistent, headphone playback. I don't switch from Bluetooth to headphones or anything. When it's bad, it's 3-4 times a song, when it's not, it's once a song, or every other song. Maybe I'm misunderstanding you about the switchover thing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] iLLdWes:
Downloading build 6 now... Whats the diff between mini, full, and normal gapps??
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] awilson77584:
I recently switched to Slim Kat from M.O.A.R. MOAR has an option to update the PRL. I travel a lot and update it when I change locales (domestic US). It gives me better access to the local LTE services. Is there a way to do that with Slim Kat? I haven't found it and a search doesn't give a result.

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Unfortunately, no. You can only update PRL with a TouchWiz rom. I keep a nandroid of TW for just that purpose.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] awilson77584:
Thank you for the info. What is you method? Doesn't it get overwritten when you put the slimkat nandroid back?

Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] damnhao:
i'm having a location issue. i just did a clean install of 6.0 and location services was working. as i start re-downloading all of my apps, my location switch on/off no longer works. i had this issue with the previous slimkat 5.0 as well but i put off fixing it(it was working and mysteriously broke). i'm not sure what app is causing the issue but some apps i might suspect is xposed framework, gravitybox or waze, which were the last few apps i installed. anyone else having the same issue?

my last resort would be to do another clean install.

meant to post in d2vzw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rambleon84:
Location is working for me just fine and I am able to toggle it on/off with no issues. Maps is working fine for me, havent tried Waze yet. I also am not using Xposed currently as I am running ART. I have also been listening to google Play Music all day at work with headphones and have not had any audio issues. I have been switching between flac/mp3 sources seamlessly.

I clean installed going to the stable from the last 4.4.4 weekly. Very happy with the release SLIM, keep up the solid work! Although i will probably be jumping ship from this S3 to M8, i plan on keeping Slimkat as my primary rom. Rocking slim on my nexus7 too, good stuff
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
To All - May I Make a Request ? Can you please Review the Rom on this page ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
i want to come back to Slim so much but w/o theme engine .......sigh....
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
I finally solved my skipping issue and the cause/solution is ridiculous. After fighting with it for months and months, changing kernels and mods and kernel settings (but never ROM cause Slim 4 Life!) I couldn't pin it down. It was random and nothing really affected it, but I did observe one thing that I thought made a difference in whether it did it a lot or only a little. The difference was so subtle that I dismissed it as placebo. It did it more when the battery was lower! So finally, out of desperation, I bought a new battery from Amazon. Lo and behold, the skipping is gone! The only thing I can figure is that the battery was old or damaged and wasn't producing enough amps or something. Weird, huh?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
I feel ya. My eyes have been wandering the last couple of weeks. I'll probably give Carbon a run this weekend, it looks like it has the stuff I really like from Slim (apps in the notification bar ftfw) plus theming. I'll also probably try CM again when they drop their next M release. Sounds like they have some nice goodies coming out that I may be interested in.

On a side note, while I was perusing other threads for roms and things, I seems like I couldn't go 3-5 pages without seeing your (very noticeable) sig and avatar. Is their any S3 thread you haven't posted in? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] arrows83:
I'm having the same issue. I also had the issue on 5.9. Have you seen any fix other than a clean install?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] damnhao:
i actually meant to post it in the vzw forum. you can run through the things perseus71 told me to do to see if it works for you

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wallythander:
Seeing as I look to be the first to leave a review, done. I will be staying with Slim for the foreseeable future with my next upgrade.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zhiwlin:
Activate needed?

Everytime I do clean install, the start up asks for activation. Is this necessary, or can I skip this? What would be effect?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes that's expected and needs to be done. If you skip not entering your Google Account, you won't get your contacts back or gmail for that matter.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jorv976:
For theming I use HK theme manager or xtheme engine. Rite now I'm themed with the flat style module. My gs3 on SlimKat is sexy as hell!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
No, it retains whatever PRL you flash on TW (or update to) when you then flash to any AOSP ROM and it won't auto update either. Whatever you have when you make the move to AOSP (Slim, CM, etc) is what it'll stay at until you literally go back to TW ROM and update PRL/Profile yourself.

No, you can skip it everytime, but like Perseus said, just don't skip the part about Google account, that you'll probably need. But the wireless services or whatever it is, you can skip that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Activation - skip

Google account setup - do not skip

OP Updated with Theming Engine related Links.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Just switched over from MOAR to this rom (no disrespect to them, just needed a change of pace) and I LOVE IT, thank you to all the devs that worked to get this to us :D! My head hurt from all the options but that's because I'm so anal about my settings, they gotta be just right and I can't put my phone down until everything is set lol, this is one of those good problems to have

And while I'm here,

I have this same issue as well, did you ever happen to figure out how to get the recorder to show up in the app drawer?

And one last thing, does anyone have a music player app they recommend? I'm not too keen on play music
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thearch1tect:
I skip both and have had no issues. I let the phone settle in with the ROM then add my Google account. My contacts and everything still sync fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
On the recorder issue, no I never did figure it out. It was one of those odd things that I just happened to notice but didn't put any real effort into solving because I don't think I've ever used a recording app. I figured if I ever needed one it would probably be a one time thing and I would just download one from the play store.

As to the music player I use Poweramp but I'm not a big music player. I think the only reasons I use it are:

1) I don't use any Google product I absolutely don't have to.

2) Apollo was just a little plain for me. This may have changed since I last looked at it.

3) It does every thing I need in a way that made me happy enough to pay for it.

Is there any way to change the screen timeout when the phone is locked or the time delay between when you lock the phone and it actually locks (so you can wake up the phone if you forgot something and didn't mean to lock it)? All I can find is sleep duration and it applies to the lock screen as well
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I have seen a Grace Period feature in other AOKP Roms. I guess Its not ported since this is a pure AOSP Rom. You could make a feature request on Slim Forum.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
When I have pin lock enabled there is a setting to change the delay after the screen goes to sleep. Settings > Security > Automatically lock. The option doesn't appear if I have slide lock enabled. I assume this option would exist for pattern and password locks but I've never used them.

If you're in the habit of using the power button to lock the screen, as I am, un-check the box for "power buttons locks screen" or there is no lock delay .

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
I don't know if this belongs here but can anyone tell me which kernels play nicely with this rom? I liked the way quantum kernel looked but despite all us variants being unified I'm still hesitant to flash a kernel for another carrier since only the att version is the most updated, thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
KT747 , BMS and Lean Kernel play well with this Rom. You do have to get a Kernel version for Sprint. Unlike Roms, Kernels are NOT Unified.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Actually Leankernel is unified as are Deathly and Quantum kernels

Hmm the link I have for Lean at anddroidtransfer seems to be down/broken. It appears the dev is hosting the latest versions here

For Quantum check the att thread. it seems to be more up to date

Annd I cant find Deathly right now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
They are unified for LTE versions of this device. T-Mo has 3 different variants who have varied degrees of LTE and the drivers don't work well with those devices' Modems. Guess same applies to Canadian Variants not sure though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
I hate to be the asshole in this conversation but for the Sprint S3 there is only the lte version. Any rom or kernel that has a unified d2lte version will work on this phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wallythander:
Yeah, I don't think you are quite right here. KT747 is the only kernel that isn't unified for D2SPR on AOSP roms that I can find. At least, the file has SPR in the title, I assume that means it isn't unified. BMS, Leankernel, Quantum, DKP are all unified at this point. Anything D2LTE that I have personally tried has worked on my Sprint S3. When it comes to kernels, people all seem to have different preferences, I have had good experiences with BMS, KT747, Leankernel and DKP. I haven't ever used Quantum for an extended period of time, but I have only heard good things. Try them out, see which one you like best.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
OP weekly download link

[MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION] The link in the OP for weekly builds appears to take one to the download page for the stable version
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Roms yes. For kernels, the driver code base has been perrenial thorn in the side as Samsung had never made consistent underlying drivers' (Software stack) to the varied modems they have. For the most part, the code is same for all LTE versions of US edition S3. This would likely exclude T999.

Thanks Will change. Changed

OP UPDATE - Weekly Release 6.2 is Out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jacknmary:
I love slim rom... but the issue that I have is that my SMS wont send in the stock sms app. i pick a contact whose number has an area code and the sms app drops the area code, making the message unsendable.

I dont like Hangouts or any other sms replacement app.

Is there a way to fix this? A Google search was fruitless in results.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
As the old farmer once said " Ah been to 5 county fairs, 3 freak shows, and 2 goat f**kin's and that's the strangest thing ah ever seen!"

Joking aside, lets get some more info:

1) I assume this happens when you try to send a text from the messaging app and not some 3rd party app 'share this' situation.

2) Clean install?

3) Have you tried to send a text with another app? I know you don't like them but lets make sure the problem is the messaging app and not something reeeeaallly strange.

4) What happens when you manually type in a number?

5) On a text you attempted to send what does it tell you when you long-press it and look at the details.

I'll probably have more questions after you answer and I've had more time and coffee to think about it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Are you replying to the text from a missed call notification? Known issue, save the contact to your phone book and it should be fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
I'm not the guy with the problem, so this is to make sure I understand (even if I'll never use this function). Is this workaround for all missed calls or just those that are not in your contacts.
