Hey guys! I'm coming from stock 4.1.2. I have flashed this phone hundreds of times but I'm having all kinds of trouble getting any KitKat Rom to flash, they all fail on me. I Tired TWRP and CWR and that didnt seem to matter. Is there something going on with my Bootloader? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm on page 15 now working my way through this thread looking for answers. One thing I did notice was that when I downloaded the D2VZW-4.1 official and my Gapps package they were saved to my external SD card. I have never seen that before. Normally when I DL a file it goes to the internal storage downloads folder. Any Ideas what I am doing wrong?? It said something like "Failed 7"...I wish I would have wrote it down but I didnt. Many thanks!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Sounds like you may need to update your recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Duckman_UF:
Thanks! Using Rom Installer from Playstore to update TWRP to 2.7.0.0.....I just hate to try again and FAIL again. Starting to piss me off LOL!!

I just wanted to throw a comment in re: only being able to send 1 sms message.

I ran into this problem upgrading to the latest SlimKat, however the method in the op of this thread 100% worked for me:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2657822

Long story short, you have to go back to an old, old, old TW Rom (root66 seems to work the best for everyone) and re-provision the phone.

My sms messages work fine now.

So yeah, if you can only send one text message and the rest of them fail, read that thread.

Edit: Looks like they're broken again. I updated to BMF1 and worked for a while but has cut out again. I'll try the process again and report back.

Edit 2: Approaching the 24 hour mark with VRLF1 firmware (the real old stuff) and everything seems to be working fine. Texts are fine, MMS is fine, data and calls are fine. I'm in a high-signal strength area though so YMMV if you're in the boonies with the old radios.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
What do you mean by reprovision?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
There is a dialer code that, when dialed on TW 4.0.4 or JB 4.1, reproograms your sim card. It also wipes /sdcard if I'm not mistaken.

---------- Post added at 12:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:32 AM ----------

That's what I ran into as well when I run those steps. I can only send texts if I'm on that outaded ICS firmware with SlimKat installed. I reluctantly moved back to TW to be able to use my phone smh
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cuban11182:
I also had the SMS bug and had to switch back to TW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
So should I backup my SD card before I do this procedure?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
You are not crazy, I get this also.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You can if you want to. I ran through those entire steps and forgot to remove my sdcard and neither that dialer code nor flashing a stock image in Odin formatted my external sdcard. Btw, /sdcard is your internal storage, which is what I was referring to. /extsdcard or /sdcard1 is your external storage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Oh its the internal storage! So should I back that up or does restoring a ROM also restore the /sdcard?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You should backup your internal storage cuz once it's gone, it's gone along with everything of value that's on there. Flashing stock images in Odin (unless explicitly stated) formats internal storage. Restoring a rom only restores the rom as is, no internal storage means you'll have no app data, pics, videos, etc on your internal storage.

Help. I installed so many lock screens....I have to unlock three times to get to home screen. I've uninstalled and rebooted but they are still there. Any ideas on how to reset my lock screen without wiping fully?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sevinex:
So... I heard you like lock screens, so I put some lock screens in your lock screen. As to your problem, no ideas. Try reinstalling and disable them from each app's respective setting's menu? Which lock screen apps did you install?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cab354:
Random vibrating and reboot build 4.1

I did a full wipe yesterday and installed build 4.1..

Everything was running smoothly today, until this afternoon, I was listening to Spotify, and went to reply to a hangout and my phone's screen went black and the phone started vibrating which went on for about 5 seconds before it rebooted itself.

It's done it twice now..

Anyone else having similar issues?

Never mind...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
I started with Dynamic Notifications... then switched to NiLS. Then I ran across GODEVs 3D launcher... which led me to install GODEVs Go Locker lock screen.... and I think I need to do a complete reinstall now.

I really like the 3D Launcher but it is not worth the 17$ price tag on the Play Store!

---------- Post added at 08:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

I did a complete reinstall!

Anyone recommend some sort of notification app / widget for the lock screen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Perhaps a silly question but couldn't you have uninstalled or frozen those apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
I uninstalled. Phone just wasn't right. Even now after a clean install I have two lock screens.

The first lock screen is this. It claims to be "Dashclock by Google". Though it's not on my app list.

The other lock screen seems to be the normal SlimKat one. It does not always come up. It has a round unlock instead.

When unlocking this " Dashclock" lock screen I briefly seem the Slimkat lock screen underneath.

Sometimes I have to unlock both.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Dashclock is a system app and it's in your widgets. Been there for every release of SlimKat too. I use it all the time when I'm on SlimKat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
So.... That IS the lock screen? What's the other lock screen underneath that I see when unlocking?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
The picture you posted is more so the "multiple widgets" lockscreen. If you tap the gear icon to the right of the clock and then type your pin, then you'll be able to adjust the Dashclock settings. Typically there is the pin lock screen and then theres the pin + 4-8 lockscreen shortcut page as well. I usually use the Dashclock settings app which oddly enough only exists on the widgets page of your app drawer. Dashclock app itself is the clock and weather that are displayed but the overall "page" itself is the lockscreen widgets that Google introduced in JB 4.3 or KitKat.

If you have a pin lockscreen and have the lockscreen shortcuts page, sliding down on that or some other action will display your widgets' lockscreen. I'm on a TW rom so I'm likely messing up these words. If you slide left on that screen, you should see a weird overlay that pretty much means "add lockscreen," sliding right should launch the camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
It's 1 lockscreen you just have it set to start the widget maximized. Settings - security - widgets is where the setting is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
It is. That did it. Thanks!

I've had random reboots with every non-stock rom I've used. Seems like switching apps frequently kills it. I flashed the decimalman kernel and it rebooted like crazy for a day or two and hasn't since, so I'm thinking it's an issue of a new kernel "settling in" on the phone. Give SlimKat a few days on its own, and if it's still an issue try another kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thorrules:
I have always has random reboots with all versions of slimkat so far. I have noticed they happen during Hangout, Whatsapp and Google Maps (the last one drives me crazy because I had reboots while I was on navigation). In my usage, i have had best stability on CyanFox or Aokp.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fivecent:
Anyone have a fix for this that doesn't involve touching the phone? I use Voice Search + speakerphone a lot in my car and I'd prefer to not have to reach over and mess with it.

How is the d2lte variant as compared to d2vzw? I have read that d2lte is less stable for CDMA phones, is that true? Any issues people experiencing with the unified build on Verizon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Runs very stable here. Where are you reading that, because the original unified builds based on cm don't count. Slim <> cm

No reboots here.

Hey there, Does 3g work well with slim. I read in the video that with pageplus and mms, you need to use go sms or something like that for mms to work.. Just wondering how you went about switching to pageplus. If you did the programming yourself after buying a phone or if you simply called them and let them do it remotely. You don't have to have another verizon phone as well as a page plus cheapie like with straight talk do you?

I hate to hijack the thread, but since this and nameless rom are my two favorites, I'd like to be able to use them instead of staying on tw. No matter how much better it's become.

Thanks

And thanks to the slim team for the aways flawless rom and continued support for our devices.

i've experienced a few reboots while using google nav... running 3.10 with ktoonz kernel. In my experience i only get the reboots while charging using google nav. Do you get them while unplugged? Other than that Slim is stable as a table!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thorrules:
Yes. I have experienced reboots even when not on changing. Currently I am on 4 stable, and I still experience random reboots. I want to add though, that reboots happen once in 2 to 4 days. So it is not frequent enough that the rom is unusable. But all other Kitkat roms that I have used won't reboot as often, maybe once in a week, which is far more acceptable. I would love to try to figure out what causes these reboots, maybe some logs might have information. I am not a developer but I would be glad to help in any way possible.

I need to disable my hardware power button.

It's not an option in the ROM Hardware Btn Custom settings, so I was going to use the Xposed Module "Xposed Additions".

The module worked fine on Odin Stock 4.1.2 but not at all on this ROM. Is it poss there's an override problem? I have the ROM custom hardware settings turned off. Can it be removed completely by me?

Any suggestions? Or alternate methods to disable hardware power btn? Thx.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] foxnutz:
After a great deal of troubleshooting/trial and error i did manage to fix this issue on my phone. I initially suspected it was a corrupted file- either an image or video. So, I began by renaming the folders on my external SD card so i could begin to narrow down where the problem was originating from. For some reason i had multiple folders labeled downloads, pictures, screenshots - probably from all of the copying of files/folders from my internal SD to external SD between flashes. Anywhoozle, I then went thru a few cycles of clearing gallery app data and unmounting/mounting my external SD with little to no improvement. Finally, I unmounted my SD card and cleared the gallery and google+ app data then rebooted my phone. Once it booted back up i could see all of my images in the gallery again. I am really at a loss as to what initially caused this problem, but it seems that giving each folder a unique name and allowing the gallery to rebuild its database solved it for me. Hopefully this helps you out!
