After some more seat time with this last night i had two random reboots; first with the FB app and then while using Reddit is Fun app. I tried to recreate them with a logcat recording but no luck (do logcats still save after a reboot like that?)

I dirty flashed this over the previous stable build; only cleared cache/dalvik before flashing. If I keep getting random reboots, I will do a more thorough clean flash before reporting back again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
I did get random reboots on the previous build and doing clean wipe didn't helped. Still have to try this build
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
i get random reboots on new build also its not like its all the time but it does happen still
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
Yup I wonder what's causing the reboot
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rambleon84:
Well, I wiped my cache and dalvik after my second reboot the other night... Full day of similar activity yesterday and no reboots since. Probably a placebo effect for me but even if i get a random reboot here and there, ill be ok :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
http://slimroms.net/ ours is not there just yet .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rambleon84:
lol, i keep checking there too. I probably wont daily 4.4 until after the alphas but id still like to play around. I know slimkat on toroplus (my gf's phone) has been on alpha's since 11/6 and already went into beta as of today. Either way, its exciting...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ssaggy:
I don't see d2spr listed in the write up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ssaggy:
Looks like we are not getting slimkat. Updating appears to be done on the website. Ugh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Sorry guys upload must have failed I'll upload when I get home. Eta 60 minutes..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Here you guys go http://goo.im/devs/nicklovell23/Slim4.4-beta

make sure to grab the correct build since all 3 d2 variants will be in this folder. Known bugs camera freezes and bt has issues "remember it is a beta build". Things are being worked on feverishly so stay tuned to http://slimroms.net/ for future updates" As always make sure to make a nandroid and follow installation instructions. Let me know of what other issues/bugs you guys find... Thanks for all the support my self as well as the Slim Team appreciates it. Also make sure to grab the beta1 gapps from http://slimroms.net/. Enjoy...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
I'm installed is there anyways you can post link to the latest slimkat after install says there is update but can't find it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Flashed this after a full wipe of 4.3 (super stable btw, thank you for that) and immediately got no internet connection at the beginning setup screens. When it tried to activate mobile data service by dialing *22899 (is that normal? I've never seen this on any CM/AOSP-based ROM as of yet), I got a "your call could not be completed at this time" message and on the "activation can take a few minutes" screen, it failed and mobile data is completely missing now. Any ideas? I believe this has to do with the APN settings but I'm not totally sure. Flashing this did not fix it either: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47813564&postcount=1. So, my data only works with wifi at the moment. Luckily, I am working from home today and won't really need my phone.

Also, yes, still getting notifications from SlimOTA about updating to SlimKat 4.4 beta 1 since I guess your unofficial is not synced in with the official builds.

Ok first of all I am happy to see my favorite development team moving along with SlimKat. Everything is looking good except for the following:

1) I have lost root and tried to flash SuperSU in recovery to no avail.

2) how do I adjust the DPI everything is really small for me and would like to get it back to 320.

***Any help on these issues would be greatly appreciated.*** :confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
as ffar as DPI: http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/71-how-too-change-dpi

as far as SuperSU go into the app settings and make sure "survive root after reboot" and all that is checked... you'll know what to put checks on to make SuperSU the main boss.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
yea it doesnt matter that its checked root is gone i have it all checked n still root is not given to any app it doesnt even prompt or nothing
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ssaggy:
Anyone getting process errors when using Hangouts for SMS?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
The LCD density changer is not there (yet). And I've also lost root, even though the dev and supersu settings say otherwise.

But data works fine for me, as does wifi. I did have to skip the activation a few times on first boot, though. But I also experienced that when I tried cyanfox 4.4, so it's not an unknown issue.

Other than that, it seems very smooth and I'm eagerly anticipating future builds as more of my favorite Slim features are added. Back to 2.2, which has been very stable for me.

Thanks again, Nick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Advertize:
Exact same with me! No root!

---------- Post added at 11:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:36 AM ----------

I have used many Slim Roms but I see no area in this rom to adjust DPI but maybe root is required for that which I now don't have either.:confused:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Android Attack:
Hey guys. Just flashed the 4.4 beta build. Having issues with mobile data... I was also getting "The call can not be completed at this time" However, after I disconnected my AirAve, I was able to complete the call. However, when it tells me to press 1, it says "The setup process can not be completed at this time." WiFi works fine, so I can connect as long as I have WiFi. I can not connect to 3g, though. Any suggestions? Thanks guys!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Yep I had the same problem, went back to 4.3 until a fix is out. Not sure why mobile data is working fine for others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
so anyone awake/around?

need a little help testing a build :P Make a nandroid, wipe system-data-caches, flash ROM/Gapps in same session. let me know if it boots, if it doesnt pretty sure KT's latest will boot the ROM just fine.

Thanks!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
it failed initially without kt kernel.

for me it wont install in twrp recover will only work in cm for the rom to even successfully install

i restored last back up and installed again with kt kernel in cm recovery and it booted up just fine currently restoring apps n such
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
No - it didn't fail. I was able to boot the stock rom (using Philz recovery). I lost mobile data (it tried to activate twice and failed), but had wifi & root access. I just flashed it again with the ktoonsez kernel and I now have data and all seems to be working smoothly, including the camera. I think it also booted faster with KT. I do miss being able to change the LCD density, though - my eyes aren't what they used to be.

Nice work - it's good to see you back here, Cordell.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cordell12:
OK, thanks, may have another after lunch or so :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
ok cool well thats for you ... so why you would say it didnt fail i dk not every phone is equal im sure u know that... it would not boot at all with stock kernel for me on cm recovery as i stated but yes i was able to boot no issues with kt kernel also with data and all also have root back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Sorry - I realized that I was still typing my reply as you posted yours. I wasn't commenting on your experience. I know every device can have different issues and I'm fortunate to have one that has had very few issues from rom to rom. I just wanted to report my experience and that there was some progress made (root access) from beta 1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
all good :good: im just happy to finnaly have my kit kat on my gs3
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Cordell stop spamming my thread hahahaha..

Ok guys Another build is up if you guys want to go at it. Camera should work please test and report back on BT and anything else you find. Root needs enabled in developer options just like in 4.3. To enable developer options go to about phone and tap build# 8million times. Other than that enjoy. "Rom http://d-h.st/ZLM Gapps http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/978-addons4-4/downloads
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
Thanks for the build!

My installation steps:

1. factory reset, wipe davlik, format /system, run triple wipe script

2. flash slimkat then gapps

Notes

1. The first splash screen on the first boot still says slimbean lol, but the second is switched to slimkat.

2. It wouldn't boot with its own kernel - i flashed the leankernel after one of its reboots (after the slimkat splash) and it booted fine

3. Slimcenter tells me 4.4 beta 1 is an update, but i am currently on 4.4.1 beta 1.2.

4. Experienced the activation thing with the calling on its first boot, but that was expected and on every 4.4 rom I've tried so far. I just skipped and it wasn't a problem. I still have data

5. I can confirm the camera works

6. switching to art made boot very fast, and it works!

Now it's just waiting until all the slim features get put in, like custom hardware keys (no other rom i've used has the "last app" function)

Let me know if there's anything else you want! I don't have any BT thing near me so can't test that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
How long did you let it sit on the slimkat boot ani? It should boot can anyone else confirm boot/non boot please.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
It didn't freeze at splash screen, it just constantly rebooted on that screen on first boot until I flashed a dif kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
It reboots once from that screen then boots. Or did it reboot multiple times?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
It rebooted multiple times after the slimkat splash, and I read on another 4.4 ROM thread they sidestepped that issue by flashing another kernel.

I flashed a dif kernel after the fourth reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
This booted just fine for me. It tried only once to activate, which I skipped. Everything seems to work so far - no data or root issues. The camera works, too - rear AND front facing. I'll test BT tomorrow.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Thanks. Anyone else who boots or does not please let me know
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Haha damn, and I just got my 4.3 setup nandroided back and the way I liked it again. I'll try the new build very shortly after I nandroid again :laugh: Apparently, from what I'm reading here, there are ways around the mobile data issue, like flashing a 3rd party kernel.

---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:10 AM ----------

ART didn't break gapps? Usually you need an odex set of gapps to use ART (like the ones from PA), which is different than the deodexed needs of dalvik.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
BT works for me, as do SMS/MMS. Haven't tried ART yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Wait, so what doesn't? :) Seems like another great release nick, testing shortly. Dev-host a bit slow today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Exactly! :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Bah, mobile data still borked for me after activation failed. Works fine on wifi but as soon as you disconnect from wifi, I get no internet connection.

Flashed the latest LeanKernel (9.0) and mobile data is good now so it is kernel related. Now I can finally test this out.

EDIT: Spoke too soon, rebooted and mobile data was gone again. I'm beginning to think that KitKat doesn't like the MK3 modem. I think those who were successful with mobile data are on the MD4 modem. Otherwise, I'm not sure what's going on.

EDIT2: I flashed MK3 modem on TOP of everything, even though I already had it, and data is back again, for now anyway. I've rebooted and it stuck so I guess it's fine now.

Looks like I'm finally up. I'd say as a whole, most apps are working, even when you switch between Dalvik/ART. It is significantly laggier than 4.3 build 2 (stable) IMO, however. 4.3 flies while 4.4 struggles when multitasking (when I'm updating apps or restoring apps from TiBu, other apps launch very slow and I can actually see the animations, even when turning them to fast in Nova). I understand this is in beta but I'm just presenting my findings. Other than that, no FCs as of yet. I will test BT shortly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kmartburrito:
Here are my steps (similar to halodos's format for consistency)

My installation steps, using CWM Touch Naddict 6043 recovery for kitkat :

1. factory reset, wipe davlik, and cache multiple times

2. flash slimkat 4.4.1 beta 1.2 then PA Odexed gapps (from 11/26)

Notes

1. The first splash screen on the first boot said slimbean, but was replaced fairly quickly with slimkat splash. The splash logo flashed for a minute or two and then booted just fine under its own kernel. I'm on MD4 modem at this point, and will go MK3 later if it's determined they don't make you lose mobile data like it seems for nimaim

2. Rebooted to recovery once I failed the activation thing that automatically called sprint on first boot. I skipped this. Once in recovery I flashed LeanKernel 9.0, the latest for kitkat

3. Slimcenter tells me 4.4 beta 1 is an update, but i am currently on 4.4.1 beta 1.2.

4. Once rebooted into slimkat, I install root checker and confirm I still have root as expected, before flashing SuperSU and moving to ART compiler (make sure you enable this from developer options before you start, or it won't ask for root)

5. I can confirm the camera works (with flash) on LK before rebooting and moving to ART. Once rebooted after flashing SuperSU zip and confirming again, it's time to jump into the world of ART. Woo hoo! My version of slimbean didn't even have the camera working right with the flash, so this is a win for me :)

6. Phone takes a bit to reboot, and then ART makes android do its "upgrade" to all of the apps, which takes a few more minutes, and feels like an hour.

7. Reboot. Result? Rich Chocolate Ovaltine! I have root access, I have mobile data, i have working ART and no FCs. I have the awesome slim dpi settings for the first time in KitKat, thank you thank you thank you!!

8. I rebooted once again for good measure with the mobile data, and works great! I might try flashing to the new radio and seeing if that has an impact, after a week or so of burning this one in.

Oh yeah, and also I happened to have a bluetooth mouse laying around, and I just tested it successfully. Hilarious to have a perfectly working mouse pointer on my gs3 clicking stuff. Everything seems to work great!

I'll keep an eye on mobile data and any other weird issues, but this is one hell of a build, thanks again!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
^ Thanks for that detailed post!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] cballin22:
I converted to art on beta 1.1 with slim gaaps n it worked just fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
For those using build 2 have you had any random reboots ...

Everything is working fine for me. I'm on 4.4.1 beta 1.2 with ART enabled. Calls and data are working fine. Haven't tried SMS or MMS yet. Is there anyway to change the DPI?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Nop but I used LeanKernel (think the latest for 4.3 build 2 is 8.6).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:

Better to use a kernel made for your device.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] life:
has any one tried lean's kitkat kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
Using it right now, functioning well and sleeps like a log. Haven't been playing games on it though.

No FC's and just one random reboot when loading facebook of all things.

I have been using it for 2 days now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] life:
Yeah I went ahead and flashed it with the latest build and been running superb.. it's a back up device with no service and WiFi only, but working great this far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rambleon84:
I just flashed the latest kat yesterday, I am surprised with how well everything is working already. I havent had any issues with restarts or fc's yet (havent had that much screen time yet but still really promising.)

The only thing i am missing is some of the slimbean features...mostly the dark theme on everything, that will be great when that gets updated :fingers-crossed:

Is there a way to turn on lock screen widgets or have those just not been included or added 4.4 yet? Not the left and right slide widgets but ones that show up on the main screen for messages, weather ect? I also am not able to add play music to the left or right lockscreens as a widget, just not listed as an option yet

edit, also, the radios all seem to be working and handing off to each other just fine. I live in a 3g area and use wifi, then i am in an LTE area for work...all seem to be playing well together
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
You first have to enable widgets under the security setting, then install dash clock from the play store, then install all those widgets you were talking about. Then add the dash clock widget and those extra widgets inside dash clock, and delete the stock time widget slim kat comes with (long press on widgets the lock screen allows you to delete)

They removed dash for whatever reason, but it's easy enough to get back.

I'm getting the slick new play music widget automatically whenever something is playing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Out of curiosity, what radio are you on? MK3 radio did not play well with KitKat whatsoever. I had to flash back to the latest 4.3 ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rambleon84:
MD4

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1787677

I had issues when i first booted the phone, not connecting to 3g and then not able to activate by calling. I turned on wifi, and got past that and everything ended up working fine. I'm using the latest CWM as well and a clean install wiping system ect and not restoring apps but reinstalled them from play store
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] smartguy10:
Has anyone tried mk3 radio with this build , I am using that right know speeds are not that good.. should md4 be used with build 2.2 ??

Also on 2.2 looks like sending MMS is stuck at sending . Any fix for it , let me search also .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
So here's one for you guys...anyone ever had their phone not be able to turn on? I wasn't even doing anything, it was sitting there on the counter, went to go pick it up and nada. Can't get into recovery, download mode, nothing. I wasn't flashing anything, not backing anything up, nothing, it was literally sitting there on my counter.

If I take the battery out and plug it in, the LED comes on for a second, phone vibrates, then nothing. If I put the battery in, it's like it tries to boot up, I can see the 'Samsung' splash screen for a quick second, then it shuts off again. I was running SlimBean 4.3 Build2, the one released on 10/27 w/ LeanKernel. Had been running it that way for at least weeks, if not months without any problems.

Anyone seen this before? I gotta run and since I don't have a phone (d'oh) I won't be able to check this thread again until late tonight, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Thanks in advance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] life:
Sounds like a dead battery, have a spare to check?

sent from a new service and phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Yeah, the stock one, same deal. I was using a Hyperion 4200mAh battery and tried the stock one I still have before posting before. :(

Charging light or icon doesn't come on when phone is plugged in either.

EDIT: Okay, so when I put the battery in, it would always try to boot up for a quick second, then it wouldn't make it. I've gotten to the point where I can put the battery in and quickly try to get into recovery or download mode. For recovery, I can see the blue script up at the top which you see right before it usually goes into recovery, then it shuts down. Same thing with download mode...I can get it to show the entire download mode screen, then it shuts off.

It's like whatever section deals with any type of boot is busted.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
It's sad that this is not working with MK3 reliably. I get much better speeds with MK3, and LTE in more areas (maybe due to signal boost?), and handoffs seem to be more smooth.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rambleon84:
Thanks, i had widgets enabled but not the dash clock installed, thats what i was missing. :good:

As for the music widget, it shows up when i start listening to music, i meant adding it to the left or right lock screen as a permanent widget.. like how the camera is a swipe away on the right. Mostly so i can start playing music faster with/out having to unlock the phone and goto play music. I do like how the slick new play music shows up full screen though once i already started listening to music.

Anyone having external sd not showing up as normal?

Shows as not having any data, which I discovered when i wanted to change my ring tone, said there was nothing on my external SD card (didnt allow me to browse further than the default sdcard1.) Which play music found all of my music without me doing anything. You can see here in es file, the default location for sdcard1 shows 0 but below that you can see /storage/sdcard1 and that's were all my files are now.

(i just copied my song to my phone to use for a ringtone as a work around.)
