Yea that is really something awesome.

Sidenote, that transparent notification bar/QuickSettings panel looked S-L-I-C-K. Had to switch mine up to that after watching the video.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Both are working for me. I'm on lean kernel, btw.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
i just flashed this rom yesterday and i saw that my baseband is mb1...can i flash mf1?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yes, you need to be on it actually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Okay thanks for the quick response.... where can I find the link?

Oh and BTW I love ur ROM it is my DD now and it is so snappy and so much better than TW.... This is my first time trying an aosp ROM and I love it! The only small glitch I saw was that when I put Browser on my homebar (sorry I don't know what it is called...it is the place where u can access the app drawer) and I reboot then Browser goes away...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea man, [MENTION=4408910]nicklovell23[/MENTION] is a really great SlimKat maintainer!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Running 1.9 with LK and so far so good! It appears all the data handoff issues I had before (wifi to LTE) are gone, so this can be a daily driver for sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
I flashed mf1 and I'm still getting low signal..

I'm getting zero to one bars in my room when usually I had two to three bars
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Gotta base your signal on dBM which is in Settings/About Phone. Either way, AOSP does have lower signal strength for some folks than OEM roms. That's the nature of custom stock vs. AOSP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
what does this mean?

Because right when I pressed the home option I got 2 bars from no signal
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
A roaming option, I believe. Choose 'automatic'.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jan1torEarl:
And this it's just an early beta of the latest version of Android. Trust me it will just get better from here. ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
Try flashing ML1 MODEM. It lowered my signal from 113 to 106 db. Measured in the same spot where I get crappy signal. May also improve your WiFi.

Link below. Pages 100-106 are applicable to KitKat. I can confirm that it works on KitKat. Make sure you only flash the modem. And yes Nandroid.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Doing a nandroid is pointless when flashing modems/firmware. It doesn't backup the partition where your modem is located at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
Okay. I was cma. I didn't Nandroid and it went fine for me.

Am I missing the option but where is the spot to disable the hardware soft keys?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daturkel:
just a heads up. using TWRP 2.6.3.0 failed every time for me. had to update to 2.6.3.1. it's only a minor update but it's what i needed to get the rom to flash successfully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
That's common knowledge. You need the latest TWRP or latest CWM for you to flash ANY Kit Kat based ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] daturkel:
didn't realize that so much from slimbean is missing in the slimkat beta. no real interface settings to speak of being the most disappointing part for me. couldn't even find any way to add quick toggles (wifi/data/gps etc) to the notification bar. no hold-back-button mapping. no built-in dpi changing. pretty stable but not feature rich yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shonalex:
Found a minor problem that's avoidable with settings. With TRDS set to change with ambient light, can cause weird fc with apps and your keyboard. Leave it on manual to avoid this. If anyone can replicate, please try and confirm. Set it to change with light and go in between light and dark rooms. Maybe this option should be removed?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
So it wasn't clear about how to flash the d2vzw_ML1_modem.zip .... Did u use Odin or custom recovery on your phone? And I really don't wanna brick my phone so can u give me clear instructions on how to get it because I have never really messed with my modems.... And sorry if this is in the wrong thread I was confused if I should put this in this thread or the other one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shonalex:
Follow instructions here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1788313

I was able to flash it with cwm 6.0.4.3. If you are using mastamoon's recovery you won't be able to flash. Just use the official cwm and you'll be fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cr4ck3r4lif3:
Zips are flashed with custom recovery. Tar files are flashed with Odin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Are any of you guys having wifi issues as well? If i clear the cache, it works fine, then data freezes after about 15 minutes. After a reboot, it doesn't connect and then seems to hang at the scan screen. A few times my networks show up, but they never actually connect.

I'm coming from a clean flash and on stock kernel as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
Make sure you're unlocked. Only flash the modem. Make sure you are on MF1 modem. Use either latest cwm or twrp. You should be on either one of these if you are running KitKat. Here's the download link taken from the thread, with the op comments.

My recommendation: if you aren't already on MF1 firmware (below), flash that. Then update your baseband with this:http://invisiblek.org/sch-i535/modem..._ML1_modem.zip

Sent from my KitKat Galaxy S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
None here and I've used every build of SlimKat. Are you on VRBMF1 firmware? Stock kernel? I usually reboot cuz I'm messing with Xposed modules and I don't see any wifi issues even when I leave it on before rebooting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
No wifi issues here. Wifi issues generally means bad data that can usually only be wiped by wiping all data (in my experience). :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I tried reflashing (dirty) and also bms kernel with no luck. I guess I'll be doing a couple of full wipes later this afternoon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
My phone seems to stay awake all the time..

.what is preventing it to go to deep sleep?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AZNair:
What do you mean, exactly, by wiping all data? I'm using latest CWM, MF1 radio, recent 4.2.2 CM11 rom & my goal is to do a proper clean flash. I've already moved all my /data files to /extsd & downloaded SlimKat v1.6 so please help me with the flash.

My usual process is-

Reboot to recovery

Wipe data (factory reset)

Format /system

Wipe cache & dalvik

Flash rom + gapps

Wipe cache & dalvik

Reboot

Flash kernel after 1 hour

How would I adjust this process to "wipe all data" as you have suggested? Format /data ? That's only the contents of my internal SD card right?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shonalex:
Why don't you flash beta 2? Works much better. Also, your wiping sequence looks good. I don't know if it's recommended or not but there is a new modem you could flash. I'm using it and it's working fine.

Also, Idk why people flash custom kernels with this ROM. The one that slim kat comes with works great. Unless you're over clocking, I would just leave kernel alone. I feel like you could be introducing more problems by flashing a custom kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AZNair:
Cool I'll give the latest a try, and actually haven't had the need for a custom kernel on kitkat but added that in just if necessary. Don't know about the new modem & no problems so far with connections so hadnt looked for it, but guess if its an upgrade I could flash that as well.

Oh hey on which step could I format the data partition?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shonalex:
Just like you have it is fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Nah, 'factory reset' is the same thing. You have to wipe the 'data' partition, which can done with the 'factory reset' feature in the rom or 'wipe data' in a custom recovery.

That's Google Now. You probably need to turn off location reporting in Google Now and if that doesn't do it, go into App Ops and de-select 'keep awake' for Google Now. Location reporting and geolocation is a great feature of GN, but it uses more juice than it should, so I turn off reporting and keep it 'on demand'.

... and I retract my previous statements about the camera working. I'm back on Gummy til devs get the camera sorted. Otherwise, it's a slick rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Where exactly is the settings for location reporting
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Go into Google Now...

Settings > Accounts and Privacy > Google Location Settings.

Click on 'Google Location Reporting' and choose 'off'. It's 'on' by default and most likely the cause for your wakelock.

I've taken dozens of photos this week on 2.0. No reboot s, all good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Ahh that might be it... I was on 1.9
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Yeah 1.9 was jacked up 2.0 should be good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
So far so good here on beta 2. The back button bug on the camera is fixed here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Wifi was atrocious after the first clean install. I ended up doing a factory reset three times and manually wiping system three times as well. Flashed rom and gapps and all seems well so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
When I initially flash ROM the "S" on the wallpaper is blue. Changed DPI and rebooted now the S is white. Can I get the blue one back somehow?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
My battery seems to be draining quick since I installed this. Maybe it just needs to settle in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Give it a few days. It does settle in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
OK thank you. Does anyone recommend running ART on this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Absolutely...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
OK I'll give it a try later. Don't want to turn it on with 20% battery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Indeed. First day or two on any of these AOSP-based roms will have worse battery life. I find the deep sleep policies seem to be more effective after that time.

BTW... thx for the heads up Nick. v2 is working like a charm.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
I can't seem to find the deep sleep option
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Yeah, I like it with the blue too. I found a few different ones in the framework apk. I haven't had a lot of luck getting it sized just right with any of them but this one seems to work the best for me. Hopefully it stays in proper form, otherwise just extract the framework-res.apk and pull it out from there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Does anyone else live in low signal strength area? If so, are you seeing a lot of "0 dBm 99 asu" in About Phone? Idk if its Verizon in my area lately or the rom but since I've had beta 2 installed, but moreso over the last 2 days, when I'm home I seem to get this bug and am unable to do much over 3G/LTE. At first I figured it was cuz it was NYE and maybe my area was more crowded but my signal has really taken a hit. This ordinarily isn't a problem since I have wifi but it's become extremely difficult to send mms. I might have to reflash and see any improvement. Rebooting, pulling my sim, and airplane mode are not helping at all. My phone has actually been sitting at "0 dBm 99 asu" over the last twenty minutes and sending an mms hung for a solid 10 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
I've been getting weaker signal than my previous ROM and I've been seeing "0 dBm 99 asu" too..... But it only has been a day since I flashed it so I might have to give it time to settle in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Am I missing something? I set my USB audio to play in the advanced settings menu, but it will not play audio out of the USB while in a car dock. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing ?

Edit:

Found Dock Sound re-directer in the Market that worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
So my issue with wifi not connecting has presented itself again. Both installs were clean and both were with stock kernel as well. I realized this time that it's started since switching to ART. However, switching back to dalvik doesn't seem to help anymore.

Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
I've found some of my apps don't work with art. Strava, the score are a couple.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Wifi works for you though?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
Yes, Wifi did work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I'm at a loss. This is my third clean install and I can't get it working. But even craps out before restoring apps if I wait a few minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Have you tried going thermonuclear by Odin flashing VRBMF1 4.1.2 stock image (do not flash or OTA to 4.3!), re-rooting/unlocking, then flashing this rom? Cuz I'm surprised wifi is messing up for you on SlimKat and no other AOSP rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] EindhovenOne:
Just a couple of questions...

Hello, all. I'm coming from SlimBean and I have to say that I am really loving SlimKat so far! I just want to if there is a way to get the status bar icons to change color to match the color I set the battery/clock to? I know I had them matching in SlimBean but I cannot find those settings in SlimKat but maybe I am just overlooking it.

The second thing I would like to know (and this is just because I am an OCD Marine) is if there is a way to remove the colon from the clock/time in the status bar when I am on 24-hour mode? In 24-hour format there should be no colon and it should just say 1134 or 1134HRS. Thank you all for your time and consideration and all of the previous posts that have helped me along the way!

I have chrome on my bottom bar and every once in awhile it will disappear. Not sure what causes it but figured I'd let someone know
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I've never experienced any of the issues that most people report on slim roms. That's why I'm so surprised by this. Odin may be the way for me as I've been flashing almost weekly since I got the phone. I'll have to manage until this weekend, but once I get a chance to do it, I'll report back with how bit worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
My superuser isn't working. Any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Did you enable root access in developer settings?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Im experiencing this too. I've noticed that it disappears after a reboot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
What launcher are you using? I have Chrome in my dock with Nova and can reboot without issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
The default launcher....so GEL I think
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
The default launcher in slim is Nova, not GEL. I haven't used GEL on 4.4 yet but you may want to try fix permissions. If you're actually on Nova, maybe try setting it to lock the desktop and see if it still goes away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
I know I'm not using Nova its the other launcher that Slim comes with....it looks exactly like GEL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atrizzain:
Nova's last update was made to look like GEL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
I think Slim also comes with GEL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Where do you see that? I don't have any other launcher and I did a clean install of beta 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Hmm that's weird because I also did a clean install of beta 2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
My guess is one of you installed gapps with gel and the other didn't
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Ah that could be it. I only install minimal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Yeah I installed everything not the minimal one
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] narsciso:
Looks like I'm going to have to wait until tethering is smoothed out. :( I really want to hop on though, I can't wait!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I odin'd back to stock, bricked it twice trying to root, finally got it, wiped, flashed slimkat again, restored app data and wifi is nice and smooth now. A bit more work than I intended, but well worth it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That is a lot of work but its the only method I could see helping you out. Let's see how it holds up!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
So far so good. I left from work to home keeping wifi on, going from my network at work to nothing and then connecting to my home network. Compared to what I was getting yesterday, it's now perfect. Everything is significantly snappier too. I may end up doing this process every few months, minus the soft bricks.

---------- Post added at 09:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 PM ----------

*edit* Btw I'm now on the VRLF2 baseband but I'll wait a few days to update that.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:30 PM ----------

Well, all that for nothing. My wifi just locked up again. Rebooted and now nothing shows up for wifi connections.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You should be on VRBMF1 baseband. Were you having these issues on VRBMF1 before?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I'm on the GEL launcher... How can I make the dock not 6 apps? I want it to be 4 like usual (five including the apps drawer icon).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shonalex:
I think the only way you can change it is by changing DPI. Read that somewhere in an article about GEL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
That stinks... I like the dpi everywhere but in the dock!

Do you know if the Nova version that looks like GEL supports the Google Now always on the left? I love that feature of it! Really the only thing keeping me from Nova... And I was a diehard Nova fan for years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
That's correct, you have to change the dpi. There's other launchers out there based off of GEL that let you have more customization. Honestly I like gel but the one thing that keeps me from using it is that the dashclock widget doesn't work properly in an expanded mode(4x4) and still displays in small view. I like the small view on my lock screen but not on the home screen. It works properly on Nova but have seen this with gel on the market version and the version in the rom, on 4.3 and 4.4. I just really want to OK Google and still have my 1 home screen the way I like it.

---------- Post added at 01:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:51 AM ----------

No, Nova doesn't have that screen. There's a Google now widget, but I know it's not the same. From what I saw in the Nova thread it's not likely that other launchers will have that screen, at least anytime soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] moparfreak426:
Google closed source the swipe left for Google now and wake up search by "Ok Google " from homescreen so it will never come to other launchers
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It's not the same thing however, there's been gesture support in Nova Prime for double tap, one finger swipe and two finger swipe if you want to switch GN to that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Durhammer:
Thinking of taking the plunge on this rom from cm11. Any major bugs/differences worth knowing about? It'd be my first Slim ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Nova prime. I have a gesture set so I swipe up and it launches Google now. Imo, it's easier than the screen on the left bc you can get to it from any of your home screens.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Exactly this. I've always preferred to use swipe up for my app drawer and swipe down for my notification bar. I prefer no status bar and no app drawer on my homescreen.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Does anyone else lose their recent apps bar? Mine disappears once every couple days. It's not something I can reproduce at will and requires a reboot to get back. It's not serious as you can guess, just random.

Edit: I'm using the nav bar however when this happens, it does not display for long pressing home either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I was having this on MF1 originally. I guess I'm back to square one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It may be something with this build then. In Advanced Settings for WiFi, what is everything set to? Mine has: Network notification enabled, wifi is always on during sleep, scanning always available is enabled, avoid poor connections is not selected, wifi frequency setting auto, wifi region code United States, and wifi optimization is enabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
That's what I'm set to as well. After each clean install, I get about an hour of wifi access, then it craps out on me. If i flash back to JB, the issue is gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Hmm, I have no idea then my friend. Maybe Nick has input on this since he knows what goes into the builds. Is it like this with every router you have access to? Have you tried resettings the router as well?

Edit: That's all the troubleshooting I can think of unfortunately. I don't know a thing about commits so I couldn't decipher any changelog to see what may be the cause. I'm surprised you're the one of the few with this issue though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I tried resetting my router at home, but the issue was with one at work too. It's bothering me too because it's not often that I have an issue that I can't make any sense of. Thanks for all the help, but I'm back on JB now. I definitely need the wifi especially with a vzw data plan.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emomike25:
I use xposed and the kk gravity box module. Let's you add hardware/soft key remapping. Works like a charm!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Is xposed really that great? I read about everyone using it but I've never tried it. It doesn't seem to bog anything down at all?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iballen93:
help please

I tried installing the beta 2 build this morning. I got an error and then it asked to fix root permissions. I did that and now I'm in a never ending bootloop. How would I go about fixing this? I can get to download mode but not recovery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Xposed with is useful for some, but I don't find many of the addons to have much use.

- GravityBox is neat, but it really isn't necessary for this rom, because it does the same stuff that's baked into the rom. GB works well for stripped-down roms like AOKP and CM... I still have it installed.

- Bootmanager, however, is EXTREMELY useful to me. I have a ton of apps that are 'self-starters' on boot and I don't want them to... this module lets me block them.

It's really subjective and you'd have to decide for yourself if some of the modules have any value for you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iballen93:
I'm assuming I have to do something in ODIN but I am totally lost. :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
Seems odd you can boot to download but not recovery.

Google for how to boot to recovery, and be certain you are doing that correctly.

You need the latest version of CWm or TWrp to flash 4.4 roms
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Any of you guys know how I can remap my home button to open the speech to text option?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iballen93:
Well I finally was able to redo my phone with ODIN. I was able to flash slim 4.4 and then the gapps. Once the phone rebooted I got an error message with a yellow triangle and exclamation point. It says.....

"System software not authorized by verizon wireless has been found on your phone. please turn off your phone and go to the nearest verizon wireless store for help."

I'm not guna do that. But what should I do?
