Love Slim but beta 5 has not been good. Bad signal, encryption issues (causing Amazon AppStore issues and issues with other apps) and more random weirdness than prior builds.

I know Team Slim will get it sorted, and I appreciate the hard work that goes into it. Looking forward to the next build!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
Another calendar question. Sometimes when I flash, I end up with a calendar that, in month view, has previews of events (similar to Business Calendar) instead of simple bars to show blocked out time. Guessing the version with previews (which I absolutely want) is the Slim version? If so, how might I get that version back? Currently on beta 3, waiting for beta 6 to update. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
Open the slim gapps zip file. Navigate to system/ apps click on GoogleCalanderSyncAdapter.apk and install.

That's what I do
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
Nick,

Any thoughts on adding "CMaccount" to slim rom ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
After a new flash I can't tell much difference in signal. But I did try pacman and their 4.3 version does include the option to have network speed in the status bar. However I was lost in options and features. Pacman was a great ROM if you want all those extra features and paranoids hybrid engine. Those hybrid settings are great but I don't use them. I tried some flashable zips but they were for 10.1 cm beta 3 and wouldn't work here. A few apps do something similar but not the same. Any suggestions anyone? Right now I'm using Meredith monitor mini which let's me adjust the font size for my bad eyes. I was using perfect system monitor but it only let's you create a widget. I know there are bigger fish to Fry but with the ability to toggle it those who don't want or need it can turn it off.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kufikugel:
lol why?

1. we are not CM and as well not a kanger rom

2. google has nativly the remote feature
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Could you make the rom compatible with exfat SD card? That would be awesome!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tedkord:
Hi guys, trying Slim beta 5 for the first time. Just want to add to what others have said.

I have noticed on all 4.3 roms that I get much lower signal than on TW based 4.1 roms. It's not just how the bars are calculated, I'm talking no connection in areas where I can normally steam Netflix with great quality.

Also, reading back a bit (but not all the way back I admit), I didn't see this mentioned by anyone else. I flashed this clean three times, and each time couldn't send or receive SMS. I also noticed I had no APNs and couldn't input any manually.

Very smooth and fluid otherwise. Love the theming/layout. These aren't complaints, I wasn't looking for a dd, I flash pretty much constantly. I just wanted to add my experiences.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
My radio performance in terms of signal quality is much reduced as well, I spoke of this a few weeks ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
It's pretty well established that TouchWiz ROMs have better signal quality than CM-based ROMs. I believe it has to do with the fact that there are certain closed-source drivers that Samsung utilizes that aren't available on CM. It's the same reason that TouchWiz ROMs generally pull much higher benchmark scores (despite feeling less smooth in real world use).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I see that a final non-beta 4.3 has been announced and SlimBean even has an "about" for it, but the update hasn't been uploaded yet. Anxiously awaiting cause the changelog fixed any small issues I've had.. :cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
It's just the first release of many to come. Can't wait to install it-hope it's a big improvement over beta 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Couldn't be a "big" improvement as this ROMs pretty solid IMO. But I hope the little quirks are ironed out. I'm stoked!

In Hoc Signo Vinces
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Based on how Beta 5 ran on my phone, i am looking for a big improvement. Least stable Slim I've run since back when the stock GS3 was still on ICS and Slim was based on 4.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeGuyDude:
Would be nice if BT worked, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
I'm still sitting on build 3. If it ain't broken don't fix it I say...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
But build 5 is so smooth though!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Downloading build 1 stable. Will come back with my observations later today

sent from my Slim and Infected S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
Love that Stable Build in the title!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
The Amazon Appstore seems to be working properly again with this build.

The Bluetooth connections/reconnections still seem good.

The Bluetooth play issues are still somewhat flakey. Sometimes music stops/pauses on screen off, sometimes not.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeGuyDude:
Am I alone in not seeing it in the downloads area?

EDIT: derp. Link in the OP is for betas, didn't notice the sidebar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
hows signal working for everyone? im still on build8 of 4.2.2 becasue it runs so damn well for me.

i tried a previous beta, cant remember which one, and noticed my signal wasnt what it was on build 8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
Phone is significantly faster on new build 1 than beta 5 on dirty flash for me. I'm pretty happy

Edit: the new scrolling list animations make everything even cooler looking
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Has anyone tried a 64gb exfat SD card on the stable build 1?

It would be awesome if it is finally baked in the rom!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] markapowell:
How do you remove gnow? To then reinstall it. Lots of force closes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scarygood536:
I can confirm bluetooth keyboard also doesn't fully work either. I'm having to type this on the last 4.2.2 build as on D2VZW and Grouper both connect to it but that's it with 4.3 builds. Does someone else have a bluetooth keyboard they could try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kufikugel:
@ google now....the app is called QuickSearchBox.apk....delete it reboot one time clean...reboot again into recovery flash gapps done

@ bluetooth keyboard....thats strange we are the only rom till now which submitted a fix for it but on beta.5 already. Key mapping was wrong. At least I can say from report on flo and manta that bluetooth keyboard are now working.....weird

can you do a logcat about please? and which keyboard you are using?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Thanks for adding the list animations. I really liked those form PACMAN. But slim is still the best for me. The only thing it lacks and I gotta say it again is the switchable network in status bar speed thing. I know there's some decent apps that do it. But It'd still be cool to have it up there. And if you don't want it there simply turn it off. Please consider this guys. I mean it'll always be my fav regardless.

Thanks again to all you slim devs out there still cranking em out for the sgs3's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
I did a clean install of this stable build...I cannot connect to my WIFI. I saw my region code was set to Europe so I changed it to US, but still can't connect. Any ideas?

DUH...sorry I forgot my password changed...stupid me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lcjdesign:
Awesome!

thank you so much! keep up a great work! running smooth on my n7000.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] faehsemc:
This made me laugh. I've done this before on my vivow.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Hi everyone!

Thank you Slim Team for this amazing ROM. I just came from Build 8 to this new one and I must say I'm impressed. It is great looking, smooth as usual, new animations are amazing!

Battery wise, my phone still gets hot and it discharges like crazy. Any cpu/scheduler combinations that worked for you guys, and has anybody tried a different kernel yet?

thanks. keep up the good work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
So far so good on build one! Vastly improved over beta 5, thanks again Nick and all of Slim.

Sticking w stock kernel for now, battery life is fine and everything works so don't want to screw it up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Also, I cant seem to find the quick charge option under quick tiles. Is it gone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
Stock kernel doesn't support fast charge, that's probably why the tile is missing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Thank you for your prompt response. Ill try BMS or ktoonz tonight after I empty out my internal and SD card enough for a backup. Thanks.

Can someone tell me what the difference is between /sdcard and /sdcard/0 ? /sdcard/0 seems to have the same content as /sdcard but its within the same folder...

EDIT: added question
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masInvasion:
/sdcard is the directory of internal sdcard for touchwiz, /sdcard0 is the directory of internal sdcard for AOSP ROMs like this thread. When u switch to AOSP from touchwiz the internal sdcard directory automatically changes to /sdcard0. when u switch back to touchwiz from AOSP , touchwiz interprets /sdcard0 as /sdcard/0. So if u switch back from AOSP to touchwiz, just copy everything from /sdcard/0 to /sdcard then once its empty just delete /sdcard/0

EDIT: fixed some typing errors
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
How do I mount my phone as usb storage device? When I plug it in now, it doesnt get recognized or installed by Windows and In not getting that USB Mass Storage prompt on the phone either. Just trying to clear out my internal storage a bit...

I am also having some WiFi issues. I can connect to a WiFi Network (at work) but when I come home, it does not reconnect to my home WiFi. When I try to join the network manually, it says connecting, and then it goes back to the available networks, and it says Saved under the network I am trying to connect to.

If I reboot, then I can connect to the home network. I am not sure if it has to do with the network I am connecting to or with the fact that I am connecting to two networks in a row.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I've been having this issue as well. Both at home and work. On windows and Linux. I figured Linux would see both internal and external sd cards. I'm thinking about re-installing drivers on windows. Usually everytime I copy files with windows it acts all screwy. Honestly. I've been using a Samba client namely solid explorer. Es file manger/explorer works, as does andsmb, sharefinder etc, etc. Transferring over the wireless network has been easier for me and almost as fast as trying to do it with usb. I don't know what the deal is. I've never really looked into it to be honest. If you get it fixed let me know.

Sorry I can't help with you network issues

To the person asking about schedulers and governors. Personally, I use lean kernel most of the time with the factory default interactiveX governor and whatever scheduler is set from the dev. I think row maybe or cfq.

I sometimes undervolt by about 25 I usually start with 384 or 378 in the case of ktoonz. And set that at 800-825 and go up about 25 on each step. The ktoonez thread has some good how to's and links about such things. Also some of the other kernels have useful info in the OP's.

All in all after installing build1 yesterday. My device is behaving nicely. I still think the signal strength is off a bit, but it will never be perfect on AOSP. It's close and wouldn't matter if I lived somewhere besides nowhereville boonies.

I like the boonies most of the time. But wouldn't it be nice to have 4g out here in the sticks. I did have nice data speeds when I climbed to the top of the mountain behind my house.. LOL. I live down in a valley in the appalachians. It's beautiful but a pain in the ass at times.

Thanks again to Nick and the rest of the slim team.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Well on 4.2.2 I used to plug the USB Cable in the computer and phone and it would show up mounted on the PC. Now it doesn't show at all. I can't see the phone, and I don't know how to see the phone's files on the PC wirelessly. I am just trying to see the phone files and remove what I don't need.

So I just went out, when I left my house I was on WiFi, came back home, tried to connect to WiFi, same issue as previously stated...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] zelet:
Is flashing TouchWiz really the only way to fix the GPS not locking issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Wi1son:
USB Debugging enabled in developer options?

Sent from my i535 on TKRom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
I did. Still no go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
it doesnt take as long as youd think.

another method ive usedin the past is the app gps status. it gets a lock then i normally dont have to run it ever again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
If you have a backup of any rom w working GPS, AOSP or TouchWiz, restore that and it might do the trick.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
To those with trouble mounting on PC, do you have fast charge enabled? That will cause that issue.

In Hoc Signo Vinces
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
I don't know where fast charge is enabled (if it is)? Used to be one of the tiles, I don't have it anymore.

And also I'm still having the WiFi issues. It connects, as soon as I drive away from home and come back, it does not connect back to it even after I click connect (WEP password).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
I know the wifi setting for me was set for Europe...I changed it to the United States. Just a shot in the dark.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeGuyDude:
Lost data/signal entirely when I flashed BMS on this. KT worked, stock worked, not BMS. Strange.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
I'm afraid of bms. It's killed my data on 2 different roms. Both times I had to have Verizon reactivate my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] carpdeeem:
Still having this issue (no event name preview in month view) even after a clean install of build 1 (including format data and system). Tried the solution above while still on beta 3 with no success. Calendar is version 4.3-eng.kufikugel.20130909.022602. Can somebody confirm that I'm on the correct Slim version (should be since I installed the toggleable version from the latest Slim aroma package) and that it should include event name previews?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
This is a known issue with the 9/7 version of BMS. You have to flash BMS in the same Recovery session as Slim ROM and Gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
And it's plastered all over every thread on here. BMS running great for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Nothing to be afraid of, you just need to follow directions on the BMS download page. You can't miss it - I made the font an obnoxious red with underlines.

Again, this is not a unique BMS occurance. It happens with other kernels, especially when you jump around.

If it makes you feel any better or provide more assurance, I only run slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I'd used BMS in the past but encountered the same issue you described. I restored beta5 nandroid and all was well. I assume you could do that or just re-flash and be fine. I don't know why BMS isn't working anymore. I would have sworn I used the most recent version.

Sorry I never saw the reply above my post before posting. I'll give it another go. I always wipe Dalvik. And BMS was the first kernel I had installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Do not wipe anything when flashing BMS. It does absolutely nothing for you except make your boot up time longer. Remember, kernels are not part of cache or dalvik, why wipe?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gordo80:
Hi All, How do I fix "unfortunately, SlimCenter has stopped".

I'm hoping someone may know why everything on my screen is so small? After an extremely clean install what resulted is a perfectly well working rom, but the screen resolution is extremely small. Even after I go in to settings, display, font size and change it to huge, the font is still smaller than slim 4.3 beta's. Even the task bar is tiny.

??:confused:

Finally updated to 4.3 Slim and noticed my PhotoSphere was no longer working. I found 4.3 Slim is missing a library needed for it to work. I created an update.zip for anyone who would like PhotoSphere back.

The PhotoSphere works perfect, but attempting to take a picture with the regular camera causes the "Can't connect to the camera" issue.(Just reboot) For this reason the updater will not replace your camera, it will create a second Camera and Gallery icon. I used Nova launcher to hide the original Gallery and to rename the new Camera to "Sphere".

Hope this helps someone else out.

Did you enable developer options and then check root access?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] RayMcGrath:
contact pictures not syncing

I am not sure if this is rom related and it is petty but my contacts from facebook do not sync with photos like they do on other roms. The contact data syncs but no picture. I have checked all the settings in all the apps and general settings but cannot get it to work. I had the same issue with CM10.2. yet I have pics in LiquidSmooth 3.0 (4.3 ROM).:o

Any thoughts?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Out of curiosity, why do you need SuperSU when there's already an included SU in Settings? All root apps (like TB, Root Checker, Terminal, etc) work without it on these 4.3 roms since SU is included. Just open these apps and use after the initial prompt.

Huge Slim fan, I don't often venture far from their ROMs, as they have consistently been the best mix of looks, functionality, options, speed and stability for my tastes. I'm sure this is just something weird with my phone as it had not been reported by anyone else. Starting today I have been unable to update any apps. I hit the update button, it says Downloading in the Play store, but the downloading arrow that shows up in the status bar is there for a split second, then disappears and it hangs until it gives a random download error. Tried rebooting, and once the phone came back on it finished downloading and installed one app, however, subsequent reboots haven't fixed the problem. Tried force stopping play store, deleted app info, signed back in, nothing seems to work. Clean flash of Stable 1.

Because I'm having issues with ROM toolbox not fully working. It will not delete system files or nor move them. I constantly have the in for flash for super su that rom toolbox is requesting root access. As well as any other root access required app. I just need to know how to manually root the 4.3 system. Or how to manually update my binary file...... Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Hmm, so no root apps work? Clean flash the rom again then change your developer option to allow root for apps and adb again. All of your root apps should work after that, at least mine always do when I'm on this rom. Those apps that I named all work for me with the included SU. I'm unsure about Rom Toolbox though, maybe someone else has input on that specific app?
