[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] anonymity:
Just checking in. Are folks still experiencing the same Bluetooth issues or have we found a way to fix them?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I did that twice yesterday trying different things. Use Odin to flash the root66 stock image in the pda section. Then use the CASUAL root method. It's all on xda. Then flash MF1 and slimkat. That should do the trick
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] iballen93:
What is MF1? I tried flashing slimkat and got another failure. this is terribly frustrating

*edit*

I get this error

E:error opening '/data/lost+found'

E:error: Not a directory

and it repeats a lot
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
MF1 is the near latest firmware for our phones. Not sure what that error message is though. Is that in odin or in recovery?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
When you odin'd back did you unlock your boot loader? That error message comes up with a locked boot loader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Download this (ez unlock) and unlock your bootloader

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Tried "Home2 Shortcut" in the Play Store?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
I cannot get Google Voice working with this ROM. I've been using it on AOSP for a really long time - what gives?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Not sure if this was discussed or even related to the rom,but I tried to use Skype today and the other person could hear me, but not see me... I could see myself in the camera, so I know it worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
I knew you were going to ask that. Honestly I haven't tried rebooting without the camera fix, and didn't even realize it til after my post. Gonna try now.

I have tried multiple downloads of the camera fix though. I actually got the camera working by force closing and reopening after getting "gallery is it responding" initially. However I still got stuck after after reboot.

---------- Post added at 08:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:10 PM ----------

Even better! Flashing now.

Will there be an option for external storage?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
OK so I redownloaded build 2 and minimal gapps. Clean flashed and activated. Did not do anything with camera. Rebooted and got stuck at splash screen. Pulled battery and booted into recovery. Cleaned and reflashed build 2 and min gapps and this time tried 8/15 BMS. Rebooted and stuck at BMS splash.

Pulled battery and booted into recovery and restored my Slim 8 nandroid. Rebooted once and got warning no OS installed. Re-restored Slim 8 nandroid. Rebooted and had to go through activation setup. Once finished I have all my apps but have lost all data and texts....

What the h?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Having no issues on newest beta 2 with AIO gapps for me. Try redownloading and verifying the SHA hash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Is the camera the only difference in the build?

Eat Play Google
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
I am getting the same thing. Totally fresh installation, initial boot seems to be working fine but upon reboot I get stuck on the CM splash screen. To make matters worse, when I go to restore my nandroid of Slim 8 I get a "failed" message with TWRP. At least it works on the first boot, downloading 8 again for a fresh install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
I've been noticing a trend if issues with twrp can one of you switch to cwm factory reset wipe dalvik wipe cache format system manually flash ROM flash gapps don't flash custom kernel and report back please. Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
I will try it now and report back :)

Edit: I installed ROM Manager from the Play Store, went to install CWM and received the message "an error occurred while flashing your recovery". Doesn't look like I will be able to help ATM, sorry.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Update... I tried restoring my Slim 8 nandroid again after going thru setup and it worked. All is back to normal on Slim 8.

I will try with CWM and report back. FYI I am using TWRP 2.5. I never updated because of issues I read about with 2.6. Should that make a difference?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Update... flashed CWM and clean flashed build 2 and was able to reboot without issue. Thanks for your help Nick.

Does anyone have a link to Touch CWM? Was unable to download from their website and the non touch version is tedious to say the least.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droidxxxxx:
Can't get voice recognition to work.. says it's installed.. but no mic on keyboard. Running great otherwise. Will do more testing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm running twrp 2.6. Zero issues with rom/gapps flash. Beta 2 has been running flawlessly.

Just like in the N7 threads, if you're getting stuck at the boot screen, reboot recovery and flash the rom/gapps again. Wipe caches after the flash+ boot. I actually had to do this a few times on the official cm10.2 -rebooting would randomly result in a bootloop.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
Install ROM Manager from the play store. From it, you can flash the latest CWM touch recovery.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
I dl'd from the play store. It says to DL from website for free or pay for in app purchase. I tried to DL from website and did not work. Got a page with a bunch of gibberish on it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Hey are you by chance flashing the rom from your external sd? I had the same issue with Carbon....it installed but when I rebooted, it hung at the splash screen for about ten minutes and finally booted up. It never hung again so it was just a one time thing. Apparently installing from internal memory prevents that from happening.

Btw anyone tell me if Wi-Fi tether is working? It's not on Carbon and I might make the switch.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Yes from external SD. I'm trying to flash back to twrp to try annoyingduck's tip but now I can get rid of clockwork lol. Tried flashing twrp thru goo and just keeps booting into cwm recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
I am installing from the external SD card because I wiped internal memory, and mine is hanging up on the splash screen. I'll give this a shot... I don't think I let mine sit that long.

Update: It worked! I just wasn't being patient enough with it apparently :) If anything wonky happens I will report back. Thanks Dearborn!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pwrmedia:
This should be added to the OP just under the "regain root" details, for those of us flashaholics who may jump between 4.2.x and 4.3x. It's an easy step to forget!

Great build BTW!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kentedman:
anyone had any luck getting Xposed Framework to install with beta2 ? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2379660 I can get the Xposed apk to load, but reboot to activate, results in bootloop. I realize this isn't a Slim issue, just curious if anyone had it working.... thx
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Interesting, I'm getting bootloops when installing certain themes upon reboot. I wonder if there is a relation...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
Had the same issue with the website. Ended up just purchasing it. Koush has done a lot of great work for the community and I just decided to shell out the $.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Try clearing data first and if that doesn't work then uninstall and reinstall.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Tried that to no avail. It keeps telling me my carrier is the reason it's not working, because it doesn't allow automatic configuration. I manually select GV from the phone app settings menu, and yet it doesn't work. It keeps referring me to Google's help site which is not particularly helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I always restore it etc Titanium Backup. What I do is go into Voicemail and switch that to GV, then I select "Setup" tap my GV number and press OK when the prompt pop-up value Verizon & GV not working together or whatever. I only use GV for voicemails though and it works fine. Been doing that for about 2 years.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
My wife has a stock RAZR MAXX, that does the same thing. She's not custom at all. So it might not be the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rotarydial:
Pretty sure you need to skip the part of at up that mentions carrier.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Tried both of these things and it doesn't work. Inbox shows up as the empty and voicemails go to Verizon despite the fact that is says Google Voice in the option in phone settings. So odd. I've done this for a couple years without issue.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
How do I screenshot a snapchat? I tried using the home + power button but that didn't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] huskyjayboy:
on the latest beta - where's the setting for the touch key lights? I wanna turn em off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Vol. Down + power is screenshot

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

I don't think that setting is back yet. There may be an app in the play store but never looked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jsmitty90:
I've installed about 4 different ROMs today not including this one. And I keep coming back to this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
Still same trouble, yes. Manually disconnecting seems to help sometimes, but reconnecting is still very hit or miss. Frustrating enough that I may end up back on SlimBean, but really don't want to go back.

Sorry you're also having trouble, but glad to hear somebody else is affected. Was becoming concerned it was just me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
On my LG stereo headset, as long as I power it off then I have no problems reconnecting when I power it back on.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
How do I clear my voice-mail notification? I've always just cleared data in the phone app and that's not working. Neither is rebooting, wiping cache/dalvik, or unselecting the "show notifications" in the phone app. What gives?

For the record, I don't have a voice-mail either..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Found a small bug. When in the car dock mode, with 8 quick launch selections in the lock screen, when you slide the unlock it goes to the opposite direction.

If I slide or to the right, the unlock goes to the left. Slide up and it goes down,etc....

Not major, but it is a slight bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Have you checked your Verizon voicemail (*86) to make sure there is not a stray one there? I know you say you do not have a voicemail but its a little ambiguous if you're referring to GV (from your earlier post) or Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chris98891:
My front camera is distorted...but only in snapchat. it works in the camera app just fine. I'm also getting bluetooth drops when connected to my car. Occasionally "Bluetooth Share" will force close. The transfer of messages to the cars iDrive is also really spotty, I think I've only gotten it to work once or twice. Otherwise is just says "No Messages"

Other than that everything is running great. Couple RR and battery is finally starting to settle.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Tether working on the latest build? Been on the new Touchwiz ROM and I'm not liking being back on TW, but I need tethering to work.

Oops. I see its not up yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
New build is up, but why is it named as such?

Edit, disregard. I was looking in the wrong folder

External storage for camera!

But lol at still no disable key backlight. I think Nick is just trolling me now haha. JK. Thanks for another build. Itching for official stable.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
No bueno. Wifi is out for me again. :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] indyssee:
Tether works! Thanks, Nick!

Can I dirty flash this on top of beta 2?

Just dalvik after I flashed

I posted it in this thread sometime in the past week or so
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
Yes, but the odd thing is that the notification itself says "dial xxx-xxx-xxxx" but has my Google number whereas it usually only displays that for Verizon voicemails with my "actual" number. How bizarre. I don't get this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
Confirmed here as well, tether is working great. Now I can run this as a daily. Its good to be back home on Slim. Thank you Nick!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bink1r:
Was there a special trick to get it working? Maybe leave it the network open? It's not working for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
So happy to be back on Slim now that tether works and camera to extSD. Yay! Thank you Nick and team Slim. I tried the new 4.3 Touchwiz just for the sake of having tether. Wow. I couldn't wait to get back to this. Lol. AOSP is definitely more responsive. And I get better battery life as well. Also, I honestly didn't see any difference in signal or call quality for me. Thank you again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] indyssee:
Not for me. I just opened it and changed the password to my normal one and my laptop connected right away. That was after a few reboots though. There had been other ROMs (using while waiting for tether on Slim) that I had to turn it on then reboot before it would connect.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] turbosrrgood:
Worked fine for me out of the box. That was the last hold up for me, it's good enough for daily driver use now IMO.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Can someone send me a copy of their wpa_supplicant.conf file in /system/etc/wifi? I wanna check something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Here you go. I added a .txt to the filename so XDA would allow the upload.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Thanks. Mines the same, but wifi is still crapping out on me. Some Nexus users having a similar problem had success deleting that file, but I wanted to see if mine had something wrong somewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
I read in another forum that they were deleting the whole data/misc/WiFi to get it going. Might be worth a shot, though my WiFi is working straight out of the box on 2.1. Good luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Anyone else getting excessive "0 dBm 99asu" for signal? This primarily affects you in low signal areas. I switched to my bloated VRBMF1 rom for a couple hours and my signal went back to normal ranging from -100 to -115 dBm. I'll try going back to SB 1.9 to see if it happens there but its prevalent for me on beta 2 and beta 2.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
+1. I'm in a low signal area and for the 0. What does it mean? Normally I'm around 105-113 where I'm at.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Maybe I'm stupid, but can I search in the stock dialer by company name? Doesn't seem to work for me. Am I missing a setting?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It has something to do with the RIL as far as I know. I do remember this was affecting AOSP a lot more last year but I was primarily on TW and this isn't an issue.

It's not there in this dialer. You have to install the one from the Theme & Apps section from what I recall. Someone linked it in this thread I think a week or so back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Both these directories have the same content...why do I need 2 copies of them?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Go into advance settings and I think there is some sort of option to enable superuser
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Enable it in developer options
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I only have /emulated/legacy. Were you on the 4.3 TW rom before this? I want to say its symlinked but on my phone I only see /0 in the path /data/media because that is my 4.1.2 TW directory. What I do know is that with /Storage, the "Emulated" folder is a different way of accessing /mnt/sdcard so in this example, data is not duplicated because it has two ways of being accessed. Quick test, add a blank folder "Blah" (OR whatever you want to call it) in /emulated/legacy and see if it pops up in the /0 folder. Close then open the file explorer and verify if its in both directories or not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
Depending on the kernel, you can generally go to Advanced Options> Superuser> Settings and click on 'Superuser Access'... choose 'Apps and ADB' and it may restore root access (it did with me).

If not, find the Superuser Update zip (it's in several threads on XDA) and flash it... that will definitely resolve your issue. "60% of the time, it works every time..." :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
Is there a way to get video playback to stop freezing? It will not play until I reboot.

This goes for any internet videos, YouTube or a video I just recorded.

It plays fine right after a reboot, but will not play after the phone has been a sleep for a while. Not sure in exact time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
I did what u said and yes when I put a file in one it showed up in the other.... And no I wasn't on 4.3 I was on 4.1.2 TW AxisM
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cali4nia831:
thx u guys i was trippin out like :confused: .. all good now
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea then it's just a separate way of accessing the same file path. If you're missing storage space, look in /data/media for your 4.1.2 data and delete whatever you want. You may have to unhide the data with your file explorer app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
I'm gonna have a test build here in a few for the folks having WiFi issues anyone around that's had issues available to test it out tonight?

I'm having problems with snapchat on the kitkat Roms... App opens and logs in but when I go to clicc on a snap from someone it FC every time so I am unable to see snap. Any others have this issue? Still running stocc kernel if that matters. ..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I had a ton of issues on the last build but I odin'd back to stock and clean installed this 2.1 and I've been good for a day now. I'll try this new build too though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I just tried flashing the unofficial and my phone locked at the slimkat boot screen. Flashed both dirty and clean with surprisingly no luck.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
That's a known bug among all AOSP-based (and probably CM too) roms for our device. Until someone tweaks the device repo files to get video to jive better, it will remain an issue.

It may or may not matter (I'm going to test later today), but Gummy pushed out a fix to the Netflix issue that *may* resolve the corollary video issues like Skype and Snapchat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jcurley:
I am getting the same Netflix issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I just noticed that Timely is now showing up under Google account sync settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It should always have shown up there? I've just reinstalled it since their Google buyout and it's there for me. It was in sync settings when I used Timely on SlimBean as well but I hadn't used it on SlimKat yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
I had just read about the buyout which is what got me to try it. Also why I had never seen it there before.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] beepea206:
I use Timely, but don't have it under accounts... That's for the 'cloud synchronization' between devices. So if you want the same alarm to be on all devices, it probably pushes that data through Google to each device you sign in. Honestly, I didn't know that was even an option, because I don't see a 'sync' setting in the app on the newest version of it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I really have no clue how I got it to show up cuz I only have my S3 lol I just noticed it also links to DashClock as well which is cool.

Btw, thanks Nick for that SlimKat wallpaper link a few pages back.

Any of you guys having an issue with Wallet and tap and pay in 2.1?

*edit*

Nevermind. I disabled all of the devices on the wallet.google.com website and reset my device and all seems good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I have yet to see or hear any true reports of tap & pay working on any 4.4 rom (our device) without a modded apk. The playstore wallet does not officially set up correctly even though it says it does.

The way you'll know is when setting up tap and pay for the first time, if there is not a message that says "just setting up a few things" and approximately a 1-3 min delay until the tap+pay words actually read "available", tap & pay will not work.

That initial setup time is nonexistent via the playstore wallet, so it's never actually communicating with your NFC chip and Google.

The modded ones however are working fine and have a clear difference when setting them up.

I really hope this gets sorted out because it's SUPPOSED to work out of the box on 4.4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
That's ashame. A lot of stores in my town have NFC readers and I use my phone all the time with the modded apk. I was hoping this now worked out of the box. It would've made things a little easier, but oh well. One extra step isn't too bad.

Anyone else experiencing a slow to respond dialer. It takes a long time after I got a button for it to actually work in 2.1 with the Dark slim mode on.

Minimal doesn't have the browser and a few other apps that replace what the rom has built in. I was flash minimal and add Google Apps I feel are necessary.
