Thanks. This does help. I will put the build.prop under microscope.

[MENTION=5241571]Saafir[/MENTION] your results are on same ND8 KK setup right ?

Promise not to subject you to TW. (So long you behave. :cowboy: lol)

I do assume this was on ND8 KK update right ? Speaking of KT747 I am actively working on bringing KT747 to a SlimKat near you.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Yep, I am on Sprint ND8 KK.. KT747 would be nice in Slim! I like that kernel, use on Touchwiz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Hey guys, is there a way to change the percentage thresholds for the battery light? Just for fun I'd like to tinker with them and have the light change at different percentages
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Yes today's tests were done on the ND8 KK zip made by CNexus. AFAIK the only difference between this and the stock ota update is he rooted it and made 2 versions odexed and deodexed. I used deodexed.

After a little bit of thought I think that part of the reason I may have gotten two different results is that I used two different TW roms. I used WickedX at my house and Stock KK at my sisters. I do know that WickedX is heavily modded and tweaked (it comes w/ KT747) so for s**ts and giggles I ran a diff on the build.prop files between the 2 and it looks like WickedX has done some signal tweaks. I can see something was done but I can't tell exactly what. (WickedX build.prop attached). I might use some time Saturday (halftime during the games) and run some tests between them just to see if there is a difference between the two and if so test to see if Wicked is also consistently faster than SK. I'll let you know if I find anything interesting
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Are you challenging me ? :laugh: Bring it on! :D

Seriously though, the theory from [MENTION=5241571]Saafir[/MENTION]'s troubles was to see if the latest KK update did something to the speeds. From the results you had soundslike it didn't do squat to your speed problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] awilson77584:
I followed the link to the settings used to disable the proxies. The post mentioned dialing ##dial#, I tried and got 3 beeps and a message that said the call couldn't be completed. How would that let me make those settings? Are they in build.prop?

Thx
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
The code you will need is ##data# and it will only work for touchwiz roms You will also need your msl or a modified hiddenmenu apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] awilson77584:
Is there a way to do that with SlimKat (d2spr) Stable 7.0?

Thanks! :fingers-crossed:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Negative Batman.. I was told if you do it on a Touchwiz ROM and then flash ASOP it is suppost to stick much like a prl or modem would though..*shrugs*
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes it will stick.

Do you notice your battery discharging faster on 7.8 compared to, say, 7.2.1?

another drunk post... 7.8 is fine - once I enabled "root access apps + ADB" under developer options. For some reason it wasn't sticking at first.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Seems this would only work for TouchWiz ROMs? Or do those settings stick even after flashing a AOSP ROM on top?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jorv976:
Yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
My LTE speeds are pretty atrocious but I can't compare as I haven't run a TW ROM in over a year now. I tested Tmobile's LTE at home too and it blows Sprint's out of the water. It's the fastest speeds I've seen from any carrier (before someone asks, no I can not switch because I get no reception, not even on EDGE on Tmobile at the office so it's useless for me). I don't even mind that as much as I do the shaky handoff between LTE/3G on AOSP ROMs when LTE signal is low. I'll have 0 to 1 bars LTE and it'll sit there with minimal to no data signal for quite some time before switching back over. Navigation and Pandora are generally flawless because I'm sure it caches additional data but I have issues surfing the web.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Good Luck. Have not been able to find any kind of solution..

[MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION] I tested my speeds this weekend with different roms (SK, Stock KK, and WickedX) The news is good (or bad, depending on your perspective) as usual my speeds were crappy and all over the place. There was no consistency. All roms were equally good and bad. :).

Also is SK for the D2 going to revert back to individual builds (esp. for Sprint). I know CM is doing this and I see that SK for the note 3 is starting with this week's builds.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Did both of you try the Sprint Proxy Hack

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=53220503

??

As to Device Separation, There are some freeloader apps that were piggybacking on D2LTE Device tree. Such devices are now rightly being separated in their own tree as they kept breaking crap for D2.

In addition, CM for unknown reason has separated Motherboard SoC Codebase for Galaxy S4 from S3. Perhaps for better Drivers on S4. But as far as I am concerned, D2 Variants will be common.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Yes, I tried with disabled proxies, different prls, different kernels, ndc and nd8 modems, modified a build prop, the list goes on :[
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Yeah, I tried on one of my tests. It didn't appear to make much difference.

Hello slim people

I have been reading this thread for a while lerking and I finally flashed 7.0 on my phone to night.

One question that's driving me crazy ATM is my compass dose not seem to work. Any ideas about how to fix that?

And one more thing while typing this I can't seem to get voice to text to work from the keyboard?

O and more more quickly, how can I get a expanded reboot menu? Reboot, reboot to recovery, reboot to download mode.?

Just installed, can't do anything with gmail. "Unfortunately, gmail has stopped."

I cleared data/cache and rebooted - nothing.

I uninstalled the system version, reinstalled from play store - nothing.

Reflashed the 4.4.4 gapps - nothing.

Did I miss anything? Gmail is kind of essential.

anyone know why since 7.0 and all weeklies after i am unable to install this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.realvnc.viewer.android

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zman519:
the Compass is very confusing to me.:confused: the compass functions in GPS Test & GPS Status from play store MUMI Compass downloaded from F-Droid Hear DO NOT work, but the magnetometer input is visible in Tricorder and this Field Compass Holo app work just fine.

I tried a few other compass apps on F-Droid last night that also did NOT work, when i found that Field Compass Holo worked i stopped testing for the night.

I should mention that i'm a Xprivacy user, i have not tried total system wide disabling of Xprivacy or Xposed as a whole yet. But i have turned Xprivacy totally off on the affected apps(GPS Test, GPS Status MUMI Compass). As for Field Compass Holo & Tricorder Xprivacy is filtering a few things on the apps just to verify that XP can do its blocking/spoofing and the magnetometer input still gets to the app(obviously not blocking Xprivcay\Sensors\Magnetic).

So at this point in my testing i do not believe that Xprivacy or Xposed have any bearing on this. Xprivacy and all compass apps where working together on the last ROM i was running AOCP android 4.4.2.

I will keep this thread updated on what i find out, could some others try the four apps and post there results:good:

Open build.prop for editing (mount root for read/write access first)

Find a line with "ro.sf.lcd_density=245"

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] chelseytx:
I started with 285 (rom comes with 245) and that was a little to small. I could deal with the apps being small - but my SMS and keyboard were TINY. I lowered my font size back down to "normal" from "huge" to get and accurate read, and 285 was still to small. Increased to 320 since that is default and it was okay, but I decided to try 305 - right in the middle. That's okay, but I may increase. 305 is the smallest I will go. It's almost to small still, but I'll play with it for a few days and see if i want to increase it.

So you want to totally change the fount?

If so that's a rather ez mod to any rooted ROM I have used. There are apps will help with that. But if you look up where the fount files are you will learn more about android.

Its been a while scene I have dug deep into android, I played around with making themes in the 2.x days and lifes not allowed the time for it lately.

I made a really cool purple and green (if you like them colors)theme for the OG SGS 1 Epic.

I tested "Just a Damn Compass" app and it also just pointed up North to the 2nd "S" in Samsung on the top of the phone.

I'm loving this ROM but this compass thing is pissing me off! I can't see any reason why GPS test, GPS Status and a bunch of other apps don't work, but yet some apps do work. I am 7.0 and no one has said if the apps I mentioned work on 7.* builds. Maybe 8.0 will work.

Wow - you had a lot of free time yesterday. Thanks for doing all that testing. I'm back on 7.2.1, and just for the heck of it, I tested the GPS/compass apps. The only one that didn't work for me was GPS Status. GPS Test (and the others) worked just fine. I suspect this issue may have less to do with the ROM than how some apps behave with each device.
