Posted this in the BMS thread but thought I'd share here as well. So happy to be back beasting on my S3 after rocking the Bionic for a couple weeks. First discharge after rooting my insurance replacement yesterday. Running with BMS 8/15. Super snappy and super smooth. Thanks Nick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markapowell:
I have had no real issues on this rom until the last update. On the build 4 I am having issues locking my gps. Thoughts?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
haven't had this problem, you might need to flash touchwiz and flash back to slim while gps is connected to fix. There should be a new build tomorrow, maybe wait for that

Anyone have an issue with NFL mobile on latest weekly build? Verizon SMS Authentication Failed

If you use Voice+(messages through Google voice, I don't pay for SMS personally - free for the win) and you blocked All text messages, you need to disable the block through the My Verizon website and switch to Default SMS on Voice+. For good measure I installed Verizon Single Sign On Engine(verizonSSO.apk or similar name) from one of the stock Jellybean ROMs over in Android Development. Once authenticated you're good to go, reblock texts and re-enable Voice+. Although I didn't try to disable Voice+ before unblocking texts, you may want to do that.

I also called Verizon and asked if they'd offer me a month of NFL premium FREE so I can try it out and see if it's a service I'd like to keep, and they said OKAY we're sure you'll love it. The first month is free, after that you'll continue to be billed if you don't remove it.

GO EAGLES!

Slow download speeds on beta 5. Stock kernel full wipe
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jonathan413:
Is TRIM enabled on all 4.3 ROMs or is that an official NEXUS build feature and not portable to other phones?

Edit: BTW this is the best and fasted 4.3 ROM I've experienced so far..thanks for the work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Hey folks, silent user of Slim Bean since beta 2. I'm on build 5 and it's running OK so far. It's only been an hour so I'm giving it time. Anyone having any searching issues within Maps? I'm using the minimal gapps and I can do searches for a variety of different things but oddly enough searching for "Krispy Kremes" causes Maps to close. Uninstall and reinstall of Maps didn't help. No big deal, it's kinda funny actually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] icon123:
Did you notice if your Google now was fc? Mine was and I had to uninstall Google search and reinstall gapps like the website said to do. Now gnow and searching in maps work fine. Don't know if that will fix your map problems or not. BTW - I had to use titanium backup to uninstall.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kinnerful:
Amazon Appstore FCs in Beta 5. Anyone else has the same issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Nope but I had to login again. Clear all app data reboot a and try it again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kinnerful:
I cleared data for Amazon Appstore, rebooted, and saw FC notice again without even opening the app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Not using slim but it does the same on carbon 09/06, maybe it's a cm based issue ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kinnerful:
Finally get it to work. I flashed again and clear Appstore data on the first boot without opening it first. However, I now need to log in every time I open it... Go back to Beta 4 for the moment.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
I thought the NFL mobile won't work with rooted phones? I remember reading something like that. Have you been able to get it to work?

In Hoc Signo Vinces
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
They updated the app to work on for phones
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
I've got a weird issue, after around 48-72hrs of my phone being on, without rebooting, my back and menu buttons will stop working. The home button still works though. If I reboot, they're fine again for 2-3days. I'm still on build 4 with stock and BMS kernel this happened. Going to to flash latest build today and see if problems persists.

In Hoc Signo Vinces
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I had similar problems but it seemed to be only with certain apps.

Just installed beta 5 and will note any instances of this behavior more carefully.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] icon123:
I still have this problem with a dirty flash of 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Oddly enough, my GN had been fine. I don't use it enough though but I'll keep an eye if I notice it. I'll try using both actively this weekend. That was just a weird, weird bug with Maps though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Google Search keep FCing. Clear data no dice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Try uninstall and reinstall of Search.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kentedman:
Per the slim website......use slimsizer to uninstall quicksearchbox.apk then reboot once, then reboot into recovery and reinstall aio gapps. You're good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Those are excellent numbers. I can never get that kind of life with that much screen time. I keep it on automagic brightness, and have thought about using lux. I am in a bad bad signal strength area though. Maybe I should try airplane mode with wifi sometime. Just for a few hours. Are you undervolted and or underclocked? Do you have an extended battery? I get what I thought was pretty good life while at work, signal strength there is bad too. I usually run imoseyon and undervolt by 25. I may try BMS after flashing beta5. Also do you have an extended battery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] screwyluie:
Try greenify it has drastically improved my battery life and has no effect on the use of the phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
No extended battery. I don't mess with anything with the kernel. I figure the devs know more than I do.

I keep WiFi on and use Greenify. Those are the things I do that maybe would be considered tweaking or my set up or whatever you wasn't to call it. I used to keep sync off but I don't even do that anymore. I've been using Slim and BMS for a couple months now and can't foresee anything that would cause me to switch it up. Work perfectly together for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deltadood24:
Haven't made a true jump to 4.3 yet but do titanium backups not work from 4.2.2? Sorry if its a retarded question but it hasn't worked for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
What's your error? Mine work fine as I come from TW 4.1.2 between each build release. Do you have Derveloper Options/Root Access set to Apps?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deltadood24:
Whatever the stock option is set to.. Haven't tinkered with anything. Just says can't parcel the package or whatever I'm back on 4.2.2 because it didn't seem worth messing with
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cinco312:
Anyone else not getting notifications? I get zero notifs, no SMS, Facebook Msg, G+, etc...Also, when I uninstall an app my device reboots. If I click the icon and uninstall, it reboots, if I uninstall from the Play Store it's fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That's likely what it is then. It's toggled off by default. No apps have Root Access until you toggle that. I believe it was mentioned awhile ago, it's a change brought in part by the switch to the SELinux kernel.

Sounds like you need a clean reinstall. I've gotten notifications for Gmail and texts.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
I've done the recommended uninstall of quicksearchbox, reboot, reboot again to recovery, flash b5 gapps and Google now is still crashing...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:
Has anyone tried Google wallet with 4.3? Does it work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
I don't have this issue. I'm idling at around 23mA, which is about 1%/hr on stock battery which seems normal to me.

Has there been any progress or fixes for the camera yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cmotion:
Do you mean other than the temporary fix listed in red in the very beginning of the OP?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwrmedia:
Correct. Still FC's and reboots experienced after flashing..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mike02z:
I did exactly what the OP says in red in the first post...I get 2 pictures before it freezes. Not that big a deal for me. I'm sure the next weekly will fix it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Will have a new test build up in a bit that hopefully fixes the camera issues. I'll post here once its up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Did not work for me, still crashes and reboots every single time for me after using for more than a few seconds. Especially front camera
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Awesome...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] robfromga:
Flashed , but could get pasted the set up menu, kept getting a keyboard error, keyboard would crash. Had to flash back to build 8

Yes full wipe and clean install. Maybe a bad DL?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Here you guys go please report back on camera and anything else: http://upload.teamuscellular.com/2Vt
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Testing now....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Cmotion:
Dirty flash over the first 4.3beta okay? Reflash gapps as well?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mike02z:
Clean install. Rear camera seems to be working now. I snapped about 30 pictures with the rear camera, no issues. Front camera still causes reboots when taking a picture.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwrmedia:
Same experience here. Dirty flash with cache wipe only
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Same here, no front camera. Have to clear data on gallery after reboot to unlock it from front mode.

Same result with 3rd party camera apps too (camera zoomfx)- no front camera.

Camera launched from the lockscreen widget is working. On original beta it would open to a black screen.

All in all, this is a fantastic fix. Was it a device specific issue, or are other phones having the same issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwrmedia:
Additionally, just noticed the NFC opts are missing in the most recent build. Possibly due to dirty flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Nfc options are definitely there... It's really a bad idea to dirty a new Android version...

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:35 PM ----------

I just did some theme testing and some themes are definitely causing unrecoverable bootloops. Some do work though. I would assume that it's a theme issue that would need to be taken up with the theme dev (4.3 update?). I doubt it's a rom bug, but figured I'd throw it out there anyways.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwrmedia:
:confused: New version? lol... just went from his 4.3 build from 24 hrs ago to the one he linked about an hour ago.

But you're right... dirty flashing typically brings issues in general, and I figured the error was on my end. I'll reflash clean!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Oh, now that's interesting... I assumed you came from 4.2. Weird, good to have on record though..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
I assume based on your signature line you flashed the d2usc build? Can you send me a screen shot of where the NFC options are missing please.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwrmedia:
Correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
Beta 5 running great! Thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
I'm on Slim 5 and its running perfect but how do I change my lockscreen wallpaper? The wallpaper on the main screen is shared with the locksreen but I want a different wallpaper for my lockscreen. Also I want to have different lockscreen shortcuts but can't find the setting to change them, was this left out? Any help is much appreciated and keep up the great work with this ROM, its flawless.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
not running 4.3 yet, but check security
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
Thank you sir! That resolved both my issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Crap, I spoke too soon. It was initially working but now fc's every time I open it. I saw your post about reflashing but if I have to login every time I'm not going to bother. Sounds like this might be a cm wide issue so I'll keep looking for another solution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm currently on the latest eclipse and I have to log in to the Amazon app store upon every reboot. So I think your right, but I'm not getting fc's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Here's a logcat from AppStore fc. Hope it helps.

Clean install, latest cwm.. When I try to install they latest flash for android 4.0 it just says app not installed

Nvm navigated to system/app and see flash there
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] red911turbo:
I've been playing around with the AOSP camera apk's that are floating around with photosphere and none of them have been very stable. Is there a hardware difference that doesn't allow us to flash the 4.3 photoshere add-on for the Toro, Mako, etc...?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Carbon / eclipse /PAC - rom all have the Amazon appstore issue, so annoying!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Try this flash apk http://db.tt/vS5cca6s

Edit* I just happened to see halo, I think, in your screenshot. I believe you have to disable it to install apk's.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
Xposed halo + floating notification..

Actually I solved my issue by uninstalling the system app then reinstalling it as a user app. Thanks for the help guys
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deltadood24:
How do I go about doing that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
open up tb

hit menu -> preferences -> backup location -> scan sdcard
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] newbie4ever:
I think I might be missing some calls on this rom is anyone else experiencing this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
is the 4.2.2 and 4.3 RIL the same?

should i expect the same signal?

or does that need to optimized every time a new android version is released?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Deltadood24:
Thank you man! Through those directions how do I rename it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Did some digging and looks like the Amazon AppStore issue was fixed in CM as of yesterday's merge. Guess it will be fixed in the next Slim weekly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
I apologize if this has been mentioned before, I tried a search but wasn't sure exactly what to look for but whenever I have an app running, it'll appear in the notification bar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cinco312:
Some apps are in the notification bar so Android doesn't kill the process during low memory situations. It's based on the app but most allow to turn it off via their settings.

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

Yeah, happens to me too. I also don't get most notifications
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
Any way to turn it off? I just came from slim 4.2 and I didn't have this kind of notification before, I didn't see an option to turn it off inside the actual app itself

Edit: I take that back, just turned it off by turning off notifications, thanks for the help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cinco312:
It's not usually the ROM. It should be in app settings. I'll install it and see if I can find it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NITRO_2:
I found the option under the specific app in the app manager, thank you though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Same here.

I flashed two other 4.3 roms tonight (Eclipse, CM) and both of them work fine so it is looking like a rom-specific problem.

Not complaining. Hell I wish I knew more so I could try and help fix it; Slim is far and away my favorite.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeGuyDude:
Yeah, I've been using AOSPA and all's well. flashing Liquid actually because that was my go-to for the longest time, but other 4.3 ROMs can bluetooth just jim dandy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Did a quick run with slim beta 5 today and it is probably one of the best 4.3 rom out there. But why isn't exfat formatted SD card natively supported?? That's killing me, total deal-breaker for me. What I don't understand is that CM is compatible, pac, carbon but not PA nor slim...

Weird choice from these 2 massive teams if you ask me....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
What's the big deal with exfat support?

What's it do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
I'm on another ROM right now and the interface is atrocious... But screen off Bluetooth streaming works as it should. Slim is just so well thought out...

Is there a way to transfer the Bluetooth "guts" out of one rom into another? I tried deleting the Slim BT share apk and installing another's but it wouldn't go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lazarus0000:
"Krispy Kreme" fails, huh? I'm guessing it's a "KitKat" issue...

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Been on all the 4.3 slim builds. I've been noticing that my signal isn't what it used to be. I live/work in a low signal area anyway, so that could be it. Signal could just be worse than usual for whatever reason. But it's been clear outside, I'd think signal would be as good as usual. Just wondering. I have no other issues, but I don't use bluetooth yet. I really need to get with the times and get myself a bluetooth receiver for the xterra.

One question I have for those who do use bluetooth in the car, is sound quality. Is the frequency range as good as with a cable or better? I would think better since it's all digital. I plan on adding subs and a component set in the future in addition to receiver and amps.

Thanks to all who make this rom possible. Slim is still my favorite rom, but I've got to do something about signal. It's fine where signal is good. Speeds are fine for me too in 4g areas.

FIXED: My no signal issue was caused by some screwup after flashing one of the bms kernels. I'm not saying it's the bms kernel's fault. I may have accidentally flashed the wrong version. But the end result was that I had no signal after doing that. No IMEI no baseband, nothing. So after flashing the mf1 firmware again, and having no luck, I restored my nandroid of build 4. Now all is well. I have signal. But it still seems weaker than it was with 4.2.2. I haven't tested this so I can't say for sure. Someone needs to put another tower up in our area. That's the best solution. And it ain't gonna happen. Sorry for taking up the space. I would have swore I used the latest BMS and as always I wipe dalvik.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Reflash slim, gapps, bms (in that order) without rebooting in between. It'll all magically come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Anyone else having lower signal on Build 5? In a few of my common areas, its notably a bar or two lower. I know I need to look at decibels, but I havent had the chance to compare build 4 and 5 in the same spot.

I would think its just the way the bars are converted from dB, but I'm noticing connection and data issues when only at 1-2 bars.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Glad I wasn't the only one I'd noticed it in earlier builds. I always look at db/m. It's been lower (higher number) to the point of having no signal at 125 db/m

anyone tried j rummys font installer with this rom? it keeps crashing the phone when installing font. works on beanstalk and on aokp. anyone know of a different way to install the storopia font... that is my goal with font installer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
/insert Jeremy Clarkson's voice.

Speed!

My SD card was exfat pre-formatted and it allows file>4gb and it is way faster than fat32. And all the backups, music and videos are on my card and I am not planning on reformatting it.

But that's not the point, why can't slim rom support exFAT??

---------- Post added at 12:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:41 AM ----------

Hmm no, bluetooth is a (very) lossy protocol so sound quality is worse than a mini stereo cable.

Bluetooth with the AptX codes allows a bit rate of ~350, which is way nicer than the regular BT, but it's not lossless or audiophile quality... Yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Not sure about the font installer, however, I used to use the transitions in his theme manager app within Rom Toolbox Pro to change my transitions to the flip set. This usuallly hangs during installation or somewhere in there and I've never been able to get it to work. Maybe something to do with 4.3.

This is just a minor annoyance to someone who likes everything so so. I've noticed that my signal acts as if it's stronger on a stock rom, but I don't think it actually is much better than 4.2.2. I'm going to flash back to 4.3 today and I doubt I'll notice that much of a difference.

To anyone out there in the know who knows the inner workings, should the signal be just as good as that of 4.2.2? It may very well be placebo. It seems weaker, but a fresh flash will tell the tale.

Oh yeah, I have a feature request. The TW rom I just tried had a network speed indicator on the status bar. Is this something we could get in SLIM? I think it would be possible, but requires smali editing from what I've read. I did see a flashable zip for something, probably TW or 4.1.2. Seems like I saw it in a 4.2.2 AOSP rom but don't remember which one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] omair2005:
Yeah I noticed it weaker on this ROM, someone else reported the same issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
Calender is not treating me well.

Beginning with beta 3, my calender has not been syncing.

Gmail, contacts and everything else syncs, but the calender does not.

The sync wheel is frozen, next to the calender in accounts with the last succesful sync date shown.

I've searched and the only online recommended fix that works is to uninstall the update for the calender app. This gets the calender syncing again, but it also reverts the calender app to the playstore version, which I DETEST. (I do use “aCalender” primarily, but the slim calender has features I like)

The only other fix I've found, if I want to preserve the slim version of calender, is too navigate to “GoogleCalenderSsyncAadapter.apk” in the gapps zip file and install. This gets the calender syncing again. But if I reboot for any reason, then I lose sync again and the process needs to be repeated.

I'm at a loss except to wipe and start over with a clean install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kinnerful:
try clean data for calendar, calendar sync, calendar service, etc...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
Tried that, all that does is clear my data so I have to go thru settings again and still no sync.
