Hey Nick, any insight into the bluetooth changes that were made with 2.4? That's always been the Achilles' heel with non-TW roms for this device; mine is playing pretty nice, just curious if the changes would affect us or not. Excellent work as always, thank you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
I think I'm going to try and dirty flash 2.4 do I need to deactivate my xposed modules before I flash it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stranger_84:
Anyone mess with WiFi color settings in the chamber of secrets??? Still learning all of it but would love a helpful pointer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GlitchMob:
An issue I'm experiencing so far is with Bluetooth. I have bluetooth in my vehicle and after about 5-8 minutes the connection cuts out. I have to usually turn the bluetooth on and off and it randomly will work after that.

Is there a fix for this or am I the only one? other than that and the issues with instagram, vine etc in regards to the video uploading issues. The rom is running pretty great.

I've used a ton and this seems to be my favorite.

Ohhh also is there a way to take screenshots? Every up I tried comes up with a black screen for the screenshot.

---------- Post added at 10:01 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 AM ----------

I just updated to weekly 2438. I have yet to test the bluetooth with this version, but I'm unaware of the changes from the previous build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
No, just wipe cache/dalvik cache.

Its only weird if it doesn't work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] goatman101:
I clean flashed 2.4 with the latest GAPPS. For some reason, youtube will not play on 4G LTE, but when I switch to wifi it plays just fine. On LTE, the loading circle will just spin but the video will never load. I have noticed this on other AOSP based ROMS also. Videos from the gallery play just fine FWIW. Is there a solution to this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
And screenshots to the power button in Settings/Navigation/Global Menu.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
The newest build has bluetooth updates that seem to be making a HUGE difference, at least in terms of auto-connect and disconnect time-outs. BT had been problematic for me in every release of 4.4... but so far in beta 2.4 connections have been rosy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
Only problem I'm seeing is sometimes the softkey nav buttons turn on randomly when I have it completely disabled. Weird bug.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Are you using Xposed and GravityBox?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FastEddie422:
I can almost guarantee he is because I have this same issue and it only started after I installed GravityBox. On that same subject, I'm only using GravityBox to turn off hardware key lights and keep them off. I'm still running beta 2, though...has this option been added back into the newer builds?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nah but these two guys (post 2019, 2021) provided a hardware key lights workaround in the meantime. I asked the same thing, haven't used their advice yet cuz I was waiting to see how beta 2.4 turned out. I'll probably do so before I head out for work tonight.

---------- Post added at 11:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:08 AM ----------

Hey, why does this app need access to the sdcard in the permissions?

Edit: Ironically enough, since this is a script, using the app to turn of the backlights then uninstalling the app seems to still keep those lights off even after a reboot and after a boot from fully powered off state. Cool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] benwalburn:
I couldn't figure out how to make it write the script to the system, so I made it write to the sdcard and move it to the system. Noob workaround.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
Yes. Need that lockscreen rotation! Problem seems to go away until a reboot. All in all 2.4 is 10x smoother than CM and better battery life with the exact same kernel settings.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Ahh I gotcha. Well it works and works well! Even persists after uninstalling the app lol

Ahh, GB module has unintended side effects on custom roms as stated in its OP. I use the nav bar so that's not something I would notice. That module definitely has its place depending on what bug(s) you're willing to deal with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] benwalburn:
Yeah, designed that way. I didn't want to be dependent on an app that runs at startup. Seems wasteful to me. Leaving it installed provides an easy way to disable the script.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] FastEddie422:
Cool, thanks. I found a play store app that would turn them off but they wouldn't stay off after a boot. This works great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Does anyone else have an issue with the camera not showing pictures taken in the gallery (or inside the camera app (slide to left)) for over 10-20 seconds after a picture is taken? I'm not sure if this is an issue with my internal storage or the rom itself. I was good in the beginning then after a day it went back to being slow again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
For me the camera doesn't work at all... when I open the app it says "Cannot connect to camera". After a reboot, it gets fixed for a while but then it goes back to saying that again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GlitchMob:
Ya its hit or miss for me as well. The rom does run amazingly smooth and I've had no freezes or self-reboots.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Incredible battery life! Running 2.4 build, stock kernel, using ART, stock battery.

16hrs 53min @2%

Can't get second screenshot to post but its 5hrs screen on time.

Its only weird if it doesn't work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
That's crazy! I only get 2 hrs screen on time.... But I flashed this today so maybe it needs time to settle in
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
I always charge full after flashing and use battery calibration app. Also ART seems to improve battery quite a bit.

Its only weird if it doesn't work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stranger_84:
I must say ... This last release is the best 4.4 ROM release I've ever been on!!! ... Thank you slimrom for all the work you put into these for us!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GlitchMob:
ROM is great, but even with the latest release my Bluetooth loses connection with my car stereo after 5-10 minutes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
What battery calibration app do you use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OpAckTool:
Not sure what I did wrong...did a full wipe, installed Beta 2.1, booted up, got stuck on the activation screen which took a few mins (I thought it had activated, I'm guessing it didn't), got thru setup, and come to find out, I wasn't properly connected to Verizon's network. Upon looking at my phone status...network occasionally said Verizon, or said unknown, and my phone number was 000-000-0021 or something like that. Obviously, I couldn't make calls or send texts.

Thankfully, I did a backup, and was able to restore back to the CM11 nightly I was previously on. Side note, after I restored, I still had connectivity issues...I had to restore again, but this time, making sure I did a full wipe prior to restoring.

I did read somewhere that I had to switch my CDMA subscription from NV to RUIM/SIM...but that didn't seem to work either. Even after a reboot, my network/phone number was still screwed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
Correct, GO into settings/wireless&networks/mobile network/cdma subscription and change it to ruim/sim. Also on the same Page Is settings for preferred network type. Make sure this is set to CDMA+LTE/EVDO. Once you do that go to settings/About phone/status. You should see network: vzw, network type: lte, and correct phone #. You may have to reboot for the settings to take place.

Sent from my Cromix TF700T tablet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Global is perfectly fine too, infact it's prefered...the main thing is setting network mode to automatic and subscription to ruim/sim not nv.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OpAckTool:
Thanks! I'll give it another shot later. I think all I did was switch to ruim/sim, but can't remember if I rebooted or not (regardless, I didn't check preferred network type, for all I know that could've been wrong).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
In also having camera problems. Mine froze while trying to take a picture from within stock messaging app. Got cannot connect to camera error after I got message asking of I wanted to close it because it wasnt responding. Rebooted and it worked ok momentarily but got cannot connect to camera error again this time after just trying to open camera app directly. Tried clearing data to no avail. I have a log cat but I don't know how to get it on here from my phone.

I'm on the newest weekly but can't find a way to change the DPI back to 320. Is there anyway to do that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Edit the build.prop with root explorer or other file explorer.... When you are inside the build.prop find LCD density and set it to 320
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
Read post #1969 for an app to do it or #1672,1974 for the build.prop method.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I am seeing the same thing.

It connected quickly initially and played music fine, but around the 10 minute mark the connection dropped. I was able to manually reconnect after 30-60 seconds had passed. The music had continued to play as if the connection was still there (nothing came out of the phone speaker) and began playing through the sound system once the reconnection was made.

It did this on two short drives (15 minutes each).

This is an improvement from the previous KK versions -- I usually couldn't get reconnected -- but still not quite there.

Something is keeping my device awake....how can I deal with it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Its kinda obvious that its Google Search. I hibernate Google Search with Greenify which can be downloaded in the Play Store and activated with Xposed. Greenify allows you to hibernate specific user apps and I have always found Google Search, even more so when you leave GPS on, to produce a lot of wakelocks. I have Location Reporting turned off but I use Greenify to ensure Google Search does not produce unnecessary wakelocks. When I am home, I leave GPS off but when I head to work I leave it on for security reasons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
If I hibernate Google now would I still be able to use the "OK google" from the home screen feature?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I have no clue. I wasn't aware we could do that on this launcher. I thought this came with Nova launcher?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
It comes with Nova but I'm using the GEL

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Only issue I'm really having on this ROM is that pictures come back after I've deleted them. I thought maybe it was a Google picasa sync thing, but its not. I know this has been an issue on many, if not all 4.4 ROMs. Just putting it out there again. Maybe a dev can chime in on this issue or if there are any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
This occurs for me as well. It's annoying.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Are you sure its not backed up pics from Google+ photos? They'll restore whenever you restore or sync accts.

I'm going to run a few tests and see what I find.

Its only weird if it doesn't work!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Rrrracer:
I think I've found a fairly repeatable bug.

When using voice dictation with the old Messaging app and latest keyboard, I'm getting soft reboots. Sometimes I can do a few messages before it freaks, but sometimes it's just one.

.....

Of course, now that I try to get a logcat, it won't act up hahaha.... anyone else getting this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
As stated in my post, its not. I guess I should have been more clear though. I deleted the pictures from Google+ even. They still come back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Would pics return due to Settings/Backup & Reset/Back Up My Data being enabled? This is the first thing I turn off before signing in so idk how often your data is backed up with this enabled. The only KitKat rom I've used has been SlimKat and I haven't ever had pics return after I delete them. I do use QuickPic as my preferred gallery app and I delete pics using this app as well. I've probably taken and deleted 20-40 photos in the last two weeks and haven't had any unceremoniously return.

Lost Phone Number

To start off... I did FULL Factory Reset (wiped Data, Cache, and Dalvik). Installed "Slim-d2vzw-4.4.2.beta.2.4-WEEKLY-2438" found in the downloads link and installed "Slim_AIO_gapps.4.4.2.beta.2.x" also found in the downloads link. After installation, it went into a LONG boot up and finally got to the Welcome screen but failed at activating. I tried a reboot and got stuck in a boot loop and after the 3rd boot up attempt got back to the Welcome screen. After failing Activating again I skipped and got to the home screen. In the settings, About phone, and Status, it shows an IMEI but my phone number is listed as "000-000-1738" and Mobile Network State as "Disconnected"

Any help is greatly appreciated!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
On first boot NV is chosen so it will start in roaming. To bypass the activation scree tap top left corner,top right corner, bottom right corner, bottom left corner. Then go to system settings/more/mobile networks/cdma subscription/ and swithch it to RUIM/SIM reboot and you will be good to go sorry about the hassle hope to have it fixed for the next build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
This problem recently started appearing with multiple KitKat roms. I'm guessing CM changed the settings. Here's hoping developers change the settings back to RUIM/SIM along with the default network type to either global or LTE/CDMA/EvDO when updating their roms.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
I don't speak for other ROMs but this is fixed for the upcoming weekly of SlimKat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Why does the nav bar just phantomly show up without toggling it on or off. After reboot as well. Also the day of the week is doubled in the status bar. How are people working around that? I am using gravitybox, but those settings are off in that app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
GravityBox has always that effect on custom roms including this one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
I don't see either of those issues and don't have gravity box. I have however read many instances of people using gravity box that report things that show even though they're disabled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
It did not have that effect on AOKP. Although I was not getting any sound from the device on that, so I had to look elsewhere.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Neverender326:
2.5 going up it seems
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Think we may have some trds action..... Not sure, but new build is requiring new gapps when the current ones are fully up to date. 2.5rc1 changelog is up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Each rom is different my friend. I actively follow the GB module thread and have seen referenced countless times how certain roms are incompatible with it. SlimRom is one of several custom roms openly stated in its OP that are incompatible (in some way) with GB. I use Xhalo and Greenify modules and do not have any side effects. I do have the navbar enabled within the rom and love it oh so much.

---------- Post added at 07:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:24 PM ----------

I like the change to RC status as well, that's definitely a good look for the Slim team
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xgerryx:
Thank you for that. I'm actually fairly new to the xposed thing as it is. I always had those features built into the ROM until Kitkit when it seemed like things were moving a bit slower. I will disable it.

Lockscreen Extensions

Hello all,

I apologize if this has been mentioned but I didn't find anything regarding lockscreen extensions.

Is there a way to disable the lockscreen extension from expanding when swiping downward? I love the widget, showing Gmail and weather, but I hate when I accidentally swipe downward and the slide lock minimizes.

Thank you in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
The issue is only with d2spr,d2att,m7vzw,p700,m7spr,m7ul,m7tmo. I just got done flashing 2.5 and at first glance it seems to be running fine. Flash away!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
Granted this is a limited test, but this morning with the new 2.5 build I was able to go 15 minutes without losing connection with my car audio!

I did have to mess with the media player connection with the car at first, but that wasn't unexpected.

Will have to hope this continues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Nope, just swipe up or long press the lock handle when the widget is maximized.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Psychotacon:
Thank you annoyingduck

So yea, pretty sweet ROM so far! I really like the interface. I'm finding some things lacking in terms of customization, having come from Jelly Beans 4.2. For example, is there a way to customize the dockbar? Grid on desktop, or at least the margins?

Thank you all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Welcome to aosp, be prepared to have your mind blown with awesomeness. Absolutely, you can open nova launchers settings and adjust all of that. I highly recommend buying the Pro version key for nova. It's really unmatched. The beans modified tw launcher is limited in comparison.

Remember also that these are early kitkat builds. The refined jb builds are ridiculous with what you can customize "out of the box", especially slim - soon for the kk builds. And also remember with a little navigation you can customize almost ANY aspect of these aosp builds. Once you learn a few tricks and get hands on with the features here, I assure you that you'll never understand why touchwiz even exists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Is there any way to get pull down toggles in this ROM?... Sorry if I am missing something obvious.

I am running version 2.4 using ART.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Like the power widgets?

I'm still waiting on this to come back, but for now I'm using app "power toggle" on the play store I think it's called
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] skytbest:
Yeah, the ones in the top of the pull down menu. I think I've used Power Toggle before, I don't like it cause it is another app running in the background, and the notification gets treated as such (i.e. won't stay at the top). I guess its really the only solution if its not built into the ROM yet :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Not yet in slimkat, but cm11 or any other rom based on it has that built in natively. It's called notification drawer ribbon and is a step up from the old power widgets of jb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
You can get it to stay on top if you keep it persistent in the options, but I'm sure the slim team will add this back in in the near future as they reach a stable build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GlitchMob:
Lol. I'm going to install it and report back later tonight. Glad to see you're getting more time with the Bluetooth. I hope I get the same if not more. I've had to go back to an auxiliary cable till the ROM gets it right.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Psychotacon:
Thank you again!

You know, I totally forgot I was using Apex and therefore forgot I should probably use Nova.

I was worried about moving up to kit kat since it is so new, but I thought why the hell not, and it is certainly a nice glimpse into the future. I never liked stock launchers. The new Touchwiz, at least the version newer than S3 Verizon 4.1, is just dumb. So disappointing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnytraveler:
I'm on the latest build right now. Nova launcher is built into the Rom, and yes it works great. TW, looks old. Try KK and you'll never go back. Also when you are ready, switch to ART instead of dalvik. Slimkat is the only Rom I know that is stable with ART.
