Very happy the the phone, especially the battery. I've been a long-time Slim user. Not leaving them now! I'm with you in that I'll be flashing weekly anyway. Looking forward to playing with the N5 as well. I got that for my mom-in-law for her 70th. Her first smartphone. I expect to have to move in there to provide tech support for the next couple months.

Speakerphone has been great for me, but rarely I have also noticed the volume seem low. If you turn the volume down one tick after you switch to speaker, then back up to max it always has fixed it for me.

Anybody notice recent builds being more sensitive about charging than others? Discovered that my (fairly consistent) reboots only occurred when in the car and plugged in. Then on top of that, a car charger & cable that I've been using for at least 6 months stopped charging my phone today. The phone is perfectly fine with AC adapters, but didn't like the car charger. Wondering if a different kernel would likely accept a charge & be more stable on this front?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] e30bimmer89:
I just found myself back on SK. I installed a couple of other ROMs but this seems the most stable out of the others I've tried. Does anyone know what kernel works best with this ROM?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
You are about to get 20 different answers:) so I'll start. I prefer lk as it gives me great battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] e30bimmer89:
Thanks bro. I've used LK for the exact same reason with other ROMs. I'll give it a whirl.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foxnutz:
Since dirty flashing 4.4.2RC3, I wouldn't say i've seen it consistently...but i've noticed a few reboots while plugged into car and using navigation/waze. standard VZW car charger that i've always used. I kinda attributed it to my laziness in not preforming a full wipe+flash.

On a completely unrelated note:

Can anyone enlighten as to what the APKTool compatible with TRDS and KitKat for linux/windows on the slim site is all about? im just taking a wild guess... but could it possibly be used to add the dark slim black out to any app? not that i would have the foggiest idea how to go about that, but i'd love to learn if that's what this tool is all about. Without mentioning the stability and functionality, the real dark slim on a much earlier Android version was what made me a permanent slimrom user - many thanks to all those that make slim possible for all of us!

You might not like to hear this... My wife's S3 did the "picky about charger" thing for a while. Then it just wouldn't charge at all. Had to charge and swap for a month or so to we got G2s.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
I have a car charger that does something similar. It will start to charge then after about a minute it stops charging. If I unplug and reconnect it, it will not charge at all. I have a theory that its a "protection" type feature because the voltage is too much or something. Its only this 1 car charger that does it and has been this way since I can remember. It did the same thing on my samsung galaxy s vibrant. I hope that's all it is.

Watch, as I combine all the juice from my mind...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Hey quick question... I've been running this rom all week and have had no real trouble to speak of, but I noticed that for some reason when I enable ART runtime it doesn't stick; the phone reboots and reverts back to Dalvik. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Are you using Xposed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Indeed I am, and now that you mention it, my memory has been jogged. Let me guess... they don't play nice together :)

Official Build 3 is up with new GApps! Looks like they started to apply TRDS to them, yay!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foocankill:
I'll ask for me and everyone else. Is it OK to dirty flash the stable?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
No I recommend full wipe as its needed especially since there's also new gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Were Gapps supposed to be working with tdrs on this build? My Gmail is still white
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Fyi from the Slim site:

" We have started on the TRDS (The Real Dark Slim) and some compatible apps are included in the release so be sure to update Gapps."

Anyone else getting Google sign in errors after a couple of reboots on build 3?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
I've been getting Google services errors on just about every KitKat room I flash. I just tap on the notification and it takes me to the play store and signs me in. Just happened on a clean flesh of 3.0

Looks like the play store, messaging, you tube, email, phone, calendar has TRDS. Nothing yet for hangouts, gmail, or Google now.

Just been using this for a few minutes but it looks like the camera should be fixed. Switched between front & back & video while taking pics and videos and it switched flawless. Also nice to start seeing some dark gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
I'm still having the same camera bug I've reported on the last three builds. I take a picture from within the stock messaging app, picture takes fine and I can send the picture fine. The next time I open the camera app I get the can't connect error. I posted a log cat previously and will do it again if it could be helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Oh yeah, forgot about that one. I'll have to try it, though I rarely actually do that in most apps where it's possible.

I didn't wait for any error but you're right. Looks like that bug is still there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
It's not a deal breaker by any stretch but I do take pics thru the app. Obvious work around is to send from camera. Just have to remember to do it that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] e30bimmer89:
Yea, I was having the exact same issue just earlier when I was trying to send someone pics of a speakerbox I am selling, Only way to get it back was to do a restart. But I usually don't take and send pics through the messaging app, so no worries for me really.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Dirty flash from previous build to 3.0 stable has been good. Did a back up just in case, but going on about ten hours and nothing weird yet. I would say cautiously that it would be ok.

Installed tonight and it's killer so far. I noticed that there's no lockscreen rotation. I tried using ultimate rotation, but for some bizarre reason it made my lockscreen targets swap places (i.e, if you moved your finger to the 3o'clock target, it would select the 9o'clock one)

Anyone know of a good workaround?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Might have found a tiny bug. Seems like there was a commit to properly handle custom quick tile icons which is better but not fully fixed. If I try to set a quick tile to a tasker task, it now will use the built in icon I selected for that task (used to just show the generic tasker icon). However if in tasker I set the task icon to a pic from my gallery (instead of a built-in tasker icon), and then try to set this as a quick tile it automatically starts fc system settings and Android system ui. No way to fix it but clean flash so couldn't even try to send a bug report. Only happens in stable 3, 2.8 doesn't cause a problem but it also doesn't use the task icons so not surprising. Can anyone else confirm?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeyhihi:
Hey guys, I'm just doing getting all the dominos in a row so I can start getting going with this rom! I haven't done anything ROM related on my phone for about 6ish months now, so I'm a little rusty.

Few questions for y'all:

I'm currently using SynergyROM (4.1.2,) and I was looking at the installation instructions on the SlimROM website, and their particular "installation" instructions only mention installing from 4.2.2 or greater. I may just be paranoid, but will i need to do anything different than the regular 'ol full wipe when I go to install?

#2, Is there any particular baseband version that works best with this ROM, or should I just go for the most recent (whichever one that is? A link to download it would be nice if anybody knows where to get it as well :D)

Aaaand, I think that's about it! I'm looking forward to finally getting on Kitkat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Get yourself on the latest version of whichever recovery you prefer. I would also suggest updating to the latest radio. Once you do that, factory reset, format system and flash away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeyhihi:
Sounds about like what I was going to do. Already on the latest CWM, though I don't know what the latest radio is, would you happen to know?

Edit: Whoops, just needed to do a bit more scrounging around. Seems the latest one is the ML1 radio. :)

Bone to Pick with the SlimDev's - Battery Life

Okay, I have a bone to pick with the slim team and slim dev's. I installed the latest release yesterday, having been on RC3 for a short time before that. Last night I installed the ROM, SlimGapps, and DKP kernel. This morning I woke up for a few minutes, and unplugged my phone before dozing back off. A few hours later when I woke, I noticed my phone hadn't used any battery. In battery settings it says I've lost 4% over the course of 3 hours and some minutes. My goodness, I haven't seen standby time like this in... ever.

I now feel as though I've been cheating. I've been on other roms on and off for the last while, slim having been my go to rom for all of 4.2-4.3. Thanks for the incredible rom, I honestly can't believe the battery life. Performance is great of course, and the rom is smooth as silk. Thanks again for this release. Off to make a nandroid. Thanks again guys. Thanks to the community too for their testing and feedback.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
So i flashed the latest and greatest Build 3 and, EVERYTHING is going so far so good.

This doesnt have the clear all recent apps button on the recents app screen right? No big deal just an observation.

Also, will Slim ever get Lockscreen Blur in future builds?

And im glad that camera is working %100 now. I ran several other AOSP roms and when switching from video to camera would cause freeze only to be solved by a reboot. but now i can switch back and forth with no problem whatsoever so i"m happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
Does the front camera work in SnapChat? This seemed to be an issue with most AOSP 4.4.2 ROMs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
What was your issue specifically?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xbiker321:
SnapChat front camera would stretch the image vertically. Made your head look thin and long. It might be an app issue. Works fine on the TW 4.3 ROMs that we have, but the AOSP 4.4.2 no bueno.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
Well it seems to be working fine, just for some lag but it works and doesn't look stretched.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] seagull2010:
I installed 3.0 last night and was loving it until wifi ceased to function for me. I'd logged onto my home wifi network successfully and downloaded some apps, then all of a sudden none of my wifi networks would show up actively. Their historical entries were there (out of range) and I couldn't delete them. Reboot didn't help. I tried reflashing, with no success.

I found the answer (for my case).

Using SQLite Debugger, open Setting Storage, then settings.db, then Global, then scroll down to wifi_display_on and edit the value, change it to 0. Reboot.

Now wifi is working!! It's only been up for ~30 minutes now, but I'm quite excited to have it back. That was the only bug I've experienced thus far. I just thought I'd share this in case anyone else runs into the issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That's unfortunate but cool that you found a fix. My wifi has been fine all day. I've been on wifi nonstop since the NBA All Star game last night.

Hopefully you are up to full speed now. My experience is that the conversion from dalvik to art takes forever. 5-10 minutes. But once done, your phone should be flying. Try this test: Use your phone as normal, but don't close any apps. Just let them pile up in the current app drawer. You should notice no lag despite the increase in open apps. It took me a while to retrain myself not to always be closing apps. For now, that is what I perceive to be the biggest gain from running art.

Phone DPI

I love how smooth the ROM is operating so far -- Though I would like to know how I can change the DPI settings to stock?

Texdroider from the play store or if your up for it there are instructions in the thread from probably a few weeks ago on how to edit the build prop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fivecent:
I still haven't found a good way to get the lockscreen to rotate. I went into build.prop and added " lockscreen.rot_override=true" and I had the same issue with the targets activating to the opposite side when you go to lanscape.

Anyone have any working methods to get the lockscreen to rotate correctly?

edit: Also, I realized that the lockscreen targets move to different positions when you switch from landscape to portrait. Why?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Interestingly enough, I did a dirty install and ended up with slim dpi and did a clean install and ended up with stock dpi. I've got no idea how that happened, but as previously mentioned, you just need to set lcd density to 320 in build.prop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:

Does "Stable" mean camera and social media apps that use the camera work?

---------- Post added at 08:31 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:28 AM ----------

I'm referring to Front Facing camera when using SnapChat. I'm also referring to Vine and Instagram when recording video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
Snap chat FFC works fine for picture but not really for video. I just tried recording a video using FFC and it made snapchat force close itself.

Only solution was to record with the back camera but using it as a FFC since snap chat let's you press the volume buttons to record. It works perfectly fine if you do it that way. Also you can get flash if you're in a not so bright room.

Did you flash the slim gapps?

take one pic and it freezes.

sorry, more clarification, :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
I don't think/know it would've made a difference but i installed the slim_minimal_gapps and not the AIO.

And my camera has never worked better on AOSP than how its working now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eksoccer99:
I can try that and report back.

Went for the gusto, gapps. Haha

Can I install overwrite with the minimal. Hate to redo things
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:
I think you can, dirty flash ROM then gapps. But you know how it is with dirty flashes, always do a backup first
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
2nd full day on 3.0 dirty flash with new Gapps. All is well. Battery life is outstanding. 75% with 5 hours+ of moderate use. All on Wifi though. Very happy and impressed.

I also dirty flashed last night before bed, been running all day no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Is the camera in form with prior AOSP cameras? Particularly in reaction time? I think it used to be called ZSL for "Zero shutter lag"... I've noticed in 4.4, the stock camera takes so long to snap a photo now. Any improvement in that area?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thorrules:
Is there a way to disable the backlight on the hardware keys? On other roms, I usually found it in the advanced settings, but couldn't figure out on slimkat. Please advise.

1. Has anyone tried [KERNEL][4.3/4.4/TW4.1/TW4.3] dkp - d2vzw & d2usc - 2/16/14? I cannot seem to find Perfomance options in this SlimKat ROM. I enjoyed freelunch/sio governor/deadline combo.

2. What happened to the quick settings in the status bar?

3. Is MF1 the latest firmware for Verizon S3?

4. I checked root access in Developer options as Apps and ADB. I am trying to use a BatteryCalibration app to calibrate the battery, and I get a "BatteryCalibration cannot get access to root. Make sure your device is rooted." and half a second later I get the BatteryCalibration has been granted root access message.

Thank you for your attention and I appreciate if in advance if you took time to answer any of these.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
1) I've always used a third party app, Performance hasn't been in SlimKat for awhile I think.

2) It's there? Just slide your finger left or right with the status bar is showing.

3) VRBMF1 is the latest full firmware which updates 6 or 7 partitions, VRUCML1 is the latest modem provided by Invisiblek which updates only the modem.

4) I always flash SuperSU after installing SlimKat cuz I noticed some issues with Titanium Backup. I have root access for 8 apps with no problem. Try that perhaps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Im talking about these quick settings, not tiles.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] KevinGee:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Oh ok, I don't see those either. There are Settings/Interface/Notification/Shortcuts. I haven't seen that ribbon thing on SlimKat. If it was in SlimBean, then I feel like what you asked was removed along with many other features for SlimKat. Some are being slowly re-added.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Im running out of space due to having been flashing roms they keep on piling up in different 0 folders and I am running out of space. What can I do to remove the old 0 folders from old roms. I can't figure out which is which since they are all emulated and pointing to different areas of the flash memory. I am freeing up space now in CWM (removing blobs) and I will also be flashing TWRP and switching to that since it takes less space, what I've been told.

---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

data turned off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
What is delayed lock screen? All of the lock screen settings are in Settings/Security. Do you mean the delay before the timeout after the screen turns off? That shows up for me with the Pin lockscreen.

As far as the signal icon, no that's not changeable in the rom from what I see. The battery icon can be changed to an actual number not the dBm for signal. You could use an Xposed module to enable dBm however certain modules may have unintended side effects. GravityBox produces side effects such as enabling the navbar if you don't use the navbar or overriding other in-rom settings. Maybe Xblast will work? Idk, I haven't tried it before.
