LTE is working fine for me on 8.9 & 8.10. Downloading the test build now to see if GPS works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
GPS works now! Thank you!

I do have one minor, unrelated issue though with 8.10: the lockscreen camera widget locks up the camera, requiring a reboot to get it working again. I don't think I tried it on 8.9, so not sure when it first appeared.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] FancyJesse:
Loving this ROM so far. But I had to flash fix the LTE issue.

Also, is there no way to clear previous apps from the Recent App list?

And, battery seems to die pretty quickly even when the screen is off. Lost a good 20-30% through one night.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
I don't know about your first question, but I can help with the other two. You can clear recents by performing a pinch gesture over it. It's not been made easy to do, because it's not something you should do. There's lots of opinions on this and a Google search would let you read both sides. As for battery drain, this is rarely caused by a ROM and is more likely a misbehaving app. Something like Better Battery Stats or Wakelock Detector would help you pin down what's eating your battery. Even if all the same apps had no drain before, every install is a chance for something to go wrong, so see if you can track down an app as the cause.

Care to grab me a Bug Report ? Please do recreate this just after a reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Sorry - should have done that initially, but I was busy and, truth to be told, had dirty flashed the unofficial build. But it didn't work with a clean flash of the official weekly 8.10, either. Here's the bugreport. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Okey. I will take a look. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
Has anybody else been having issues with superuser? It won't allow me to accept permission when I try to use anything that requires me to accept. I hit deny because that is the only selectable option and it freezes the app I am opening. I already enabled the root access.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
I just attempted to use Odin to install cf-auto-root. Still not working. I guess I might opt for the final option... wipe and reinstall rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Why don't you flash SuperSU zip?

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
I have already tried this. SuperSU is included with CF-auto-root. It won't let me select accept OR deny... it auto denies after the time out limit.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mattzeller:
I just replied to you in another thread you created for your problem, flash in recovery:

SuperSU

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
Just attempted this. Still have the same issue. Unable to select either allow or deny. It times out to get me out of it. I just noticed this is happening in a pop up notification. I am going to try disabling that and see if it makes a difference.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
That did nothing.

In response to your other reply in the question and answer forum...

Somehow 2.13 was included with the cf-autoroot that I installed via odin. I did install 2.16 through recovery but I am still having this problem. I mean it doesn't really hurt the usage of the phone... everything is working flawlessly. This is just a rock in my shoe. The only thing I can think might be causing me an issue is that I flashed the dkp kernel. Could that be it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Time to clean flash, then.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
Cool... everything is working like butter . I will just wait for the next weekly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
To All:

Please note, in the upcoming Weekly, there are 2 Changes of note. So you may want to observe in your current setup before flashing. Dirty flash is okey.

For those of us on LTE, you may see a small change in network speed. Hopefully higher. So might want to do speed test before flashing.

One of the Alarms caused by com.internal.telephony, AKA the phone app, is quieted down. Hopefully this saves a little battery for you. You can see for yourself on BBS Alarm Section before and after.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Great. I plan to clean flash the latest nightly. Will resorting Nova launcher settings mess anything up?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
No.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Can we flash 8.12? The sensor issues shouldn't affect our device, right?

They're rebuilding either way.

Latest weekly when i try to record video with google camera it gets all messed up then the camera disconnects and i have to reboot to get it back. The other camera works fine for video and google camera takes pics fine just video.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
There was changes to Google Camera Recently. You'd need to do a Clean Flash to fox this issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DTrinh09:
Does the Google Camera update affect all roms? I was plagued with the camera disconnects last week. I had to install a different camera for the time being. So a clean install is required moving forward?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
I did a clean install of the latest weekly and the camera issue is gone, but i noticed that my hangouts people details don't seem to be syncing, like click a contact widget and not see a hangouts icon there, and also my profile is not synced in the quick settings, I see no picture there and when i click it nothing happens.

nvm I just discovered you have to turn on contact sync within the google plus app for this to display properly now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
and the camera problem is now back...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please define in detail what the issue is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
did a clean install, camera video recording worked at first now when i try to record a video with the google camera it records then when i hit stop it says cannot connect to camera and fc. The video file is there but unplayable. Pics,photosphere,blur and pan work fine.

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:29 PM ----------

now the camera is totally broke after the last attempt to use it, it wont connect to camera no matter what, uninstalled and reinstalled and its the same thing... sigh
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zhiwlin:
Did you try to turn off phone and restarting it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:
yes and when it comes back i launch the camera i get a little bit of screen and it does its autofocus thing and it says cannot connect to camera. Other camera apps work fine though.

ok here is another odd thing, I rebooted used another camera app first and then pictures are working again but video is still a bust.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
8.10 on a clean flash, I couldn't do navigation yesterday. IT kept saying "GPS signal lost". What should I do?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
CM's gotten a Borked Camera Wrapper. We'd need to wait for a commit or revert on it.

GPS now strives for more accurate positioning than before. Since we are accessing the chip directly on board, line of sight becomes more important for accuracy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Dang, so I'll need to keep it near the dash or something then?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yeah Afraid so. Unless you waht to turn on the Google's buggy Battery Drainer High Accuracy mode.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Tried this yesterday. I had both google's high accuracy and the chip only gps mode. No go on the navigation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flastnoles11:
Weird, just used navigation yesterday and it worked fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That means high rises or not clear line of sight. Wipe data to Maps application and review your location Settings in the Google Settings App.

Crazy question for your GPS problem... Have you already tried tightening the screws on the body of your phone? I was looking around for an answer to my gps problem I have been having for all stock and other roms and found that solution in another GS3 forum. Worked for me...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Krazy_Calvin:
Or no... Maybe it didn't work for me... I just tried to use the GPS while our of range of WiFi and screwed myself over.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTRsdk:
no LTE

I've not had any luck getting LTE to work with this rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Which version? I went back to TW and updated my jobbies and my LTE works properly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTRsdk:
Any version I've tried for d2lte....

I flashed TW and updated my profile and PRL, but it did no good. I don't get LTE in this or CyanohenMod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Still no luck with the GPS, this is driving me nuts. Will logs help? I'll be loading up a TW ROM to see if it's ROM related, then tightening up the screws once I get home.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fathom614:
I've had the same problems on all aosp roms. LTE doesn't work on any of them for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
I see by your profile that you're using Ting as your service provider - this is a known issue with them and other Sprint MVNO's. Some of the latest AOSP roms (including Slim) have selectable APN's built in, but for some reason, only 3G works. But it can be remedied. Google "Ting LTE APN" and you'll get a few fix results. Some take trial and error.

That said, I used the file linked below. It's supposed to be flashed after a clean install, but I wiped cache & dalvik, rebooted, reset to default in the APN settings (you should see "Sprint LTE" selected, but the APN's are Ting's). I then toggled airplane mode on, rebooted and turned Airplane mode off. It worked. YMMV. Nandroid first, of course. Good luck.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please do go to Full Stock. Once there, follow [*gps fix] alternate gps fix]. I know that thread is for another variant. Do still follow. In addition, go outside in clear area and make sure you got a very clear GPS fix. After that, flash latest weekly. During the initial setup, make sure to uncheck Location related checkboxes. Only install google maps and Satellite check app. Go out and wait patiently. Its going to take more time to get a fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Thanks for that. Last night, I loaded up a TW stock ROM and ran "agps clear" from the GPS test app. Clean flashed 8.16 and navigation worked this morning. Thanks for the help!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fathom614:
Thanks for this I'll give it a try. Will this be compatible with 4.4+ roms? I have a flashable 4.4 ting apn zip that I've tried, but no success.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Yes. It worked for me on Slim weekly 8.14 (I'll be flashing 8.16 within the next couple of days). But as I said, YMMV. From what I've read, these fixes work for some and not for others.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
8.16 and other kernels

Hey guys,

Just got around to updating from 8.0 (test) to 8.16. Is anyone (or has anyone tried) else having problems with other kernels. Specifically Leankernel is borking my mobile (data and phone) connection and KT747 borks my mobile and wifi connections. Tried latest versions of both.

Edit--- the update to KT747 that Perseus (did you change your user name?) posted on the KT forum appears to be working

Edit2---Is any one else less than thrilled that the next iteration of Slim is (probably) going to be called SlimPop. Since I can be an evil s.o.b sometimes, you will always say this in your head like you are singing Hanson's MMMBop :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Back to slim
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GTRsdk:
Okay so if AOSP ROMs are having issues with LTE with MVNOs, that would explain what the problem is... I'm on FreedomPop
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
It's gonna be SlimLP. SlimPop translates to something vulgar in German.

It's baconnn!

Yeah I changed my user. :p You're the first to notice. :good:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RTWright:
I've been using the weekly versions for the past few releases. I'm on the current Weekly and I had the previous one as well, with this very same issue. It's not posting the correct Time for my Time Zone. I'm constantly seeing it go to different times. I've gone into Time and Date and had it Auto Select Timezone then I did it manually as well. It still bounces around different times, like it's confused or something about what the correct time should be. Has this been an issue for anyone else using a Sprint GS3?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Settings>Date & Time>

Uncheck automatic time zone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RTWright:
If you would have read it closer you'd seen I had. I've done it both ways. It's still doing it even on this current build. I'm not certain if the device itself has developed an issue or what. It's really annoying honestly.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TdiGuy:
So far so good. I have been running this rom for about 3 days now. Only issue i have is that LTE does not seem to work. However there are only a few places near me that even have LTE towers so i am not really missing it anyway.

i searched in this thread and all over xda, but i can't seem to pin point the answer.

is f2fs available for slimkat? or even the sprint s3 in general? how do i go abouts doing this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
I think f2fs has more to do with the kernel than the ROM. Find a kernel that supports it and flash that. I'm sure there are guides to setting it up out there on the interests.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
oh ok thanks. that makes sense. my asus tf300t tablet is f2fs, i guess came with it built in the kernel so i didn't have to flash a separate one. can anyone recommend a good kernel that supports f2fs?

---------- Post added at 05:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:41 AM ----------

hmm looks like it needs to be a modified rom as well. over on the nexus 7 thread they have a converter, but i dont know if its ported over to the sprint s3. has anyone gotten f2fs to work with our sprint s3's? google search turns up very little. or know how to convert slimkat to f2fs?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Do a search for f2fs in the Lean Kernel thread. There was a discussion about this recently and it included, I think, a link to a modified version of Philz recovery to make the conversion. I haven't felt the need to do this yet, so I can't speak from experience.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2226290
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
I don't think you need a modified Philz, I have the option in the last version released 6.48.4. Its under Mounts and Storage > 'Toggle f2fs <-> ext4 migration'. Whether or not you need a modified kernel, that I have no knowledge of and will leave the answer up to the user's Google-fu :)

Edit -- [MENTION=4832187]zen_phones[/MENTION] brief Google check leads me to believe you need f2fs support in both kernel and rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
This thread goes into more detail, including modified Philz, and seems to indicate that it should work on any recent AOSP based ROM, but not TouchWiz. Again, I haven't tried any of this.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Interesting read. Sounds like a lot of hassle for a so-so performance increase.

Not 100% sure he modified Philz, it seems that he just made a build using code that phil posted after official development had stopped. NBD either way, not gonna start a flame war over it :).

I find it humorously ironic that TW doesn't support a file system developed by Samsung
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thelangosta:
If you have a compatible kernel, ROM, and recovery (TWRP) it's relatively easy to convert to all f2fs. It made a big difference on our nexus7 2012 which seems to have terrible nand storage performance.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
I wasn't trying to start a flame war, and perhaps "modified" was the wrong term. Just wanted to pass along something I'd seen. But you're right - probably a lot of work for little benefit, which is why I didn't try it. And I hadn't even considered the irony of f2fs conversion not working on Touchwiz. [emoji4]
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
SlimKat supports F2FS out of Box. You do have to format some of your partitions to be F2FS from EXT4. Last Version of Philz does this as sixgun said. The unofficial version of KT747, I have released will support this. Should you need Kernel.

What he said. ^^^^

There are several Google and XDA articles comparing EXT4 and F2FS. Indeed extremely hilarious that TouchWiz does not support Samsung's own F2FS.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Same here - very smooth. But patiently waiting...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
To All the Users of Slim on this Device -

I wanted to share my thoughts as the Developer for Slim on this device. I have always tired to stand up to the reputation and impression in your minds that Slim Rom is always, rugged, dependable and reliable even in Weeklies. This is why I have a set of Testers who help me evaluate every important build including OS Upgrades. I do not prefer to unleash half baked builds that can't be used as Daily Drivers even by those who know what they are doing. If its not a Daily Driver for my D2TMO, I won't ask you to make it. Hope that makes sense.

Having said that, I do indeed have had Official Alpha Version for SlimLP. I may not have asked any of you to test because its was not ready with known issues. As of now, I have it running on my Phone but still there are couple of issues Such as

No stable Root

Stock Camera does not work. (Open Camera Does)

I personally don't think this is worthy of Weekly. I;d like to solicit opinions from you guys If I should make a Weekly knowing this is the case. Please there shall not be Buyer's Remorse later or any complaining that this is a bad ROM or not ready. So be thoughtful before rushing for the next Android Version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
I'm willing to wait, as stability is important to me. That's one of the reasons I've stayed with Slim - even the weeklies have been remarkably stable most of the time and have been my daily drivers. The Slim team took their time releasing SlimKat, too, and I think that was the right move. I've tried another LP rom on this phone, and while it looks great, it's not a daily yet. That's my 2 cents.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] TexasLTE:
I agree with [MENTION=3612322]kjjm[/MENTION] ... Slim is known for releasing stable ROMs ; there are a few other LP-ROMs for folks to try, so I recommend wait 'til kinks are worked out (IMHO) :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zman519:
i agree with TexasLTE & kjjm

one note the sha1 hash is missing from 9.0's download page.

Perseus thank you for your work on this ROM, HAPPY NEW YEARS:good:

I flashed the final version of the Quantum kernel with the final build of SlimKat, and I keep getting

Actually, it's random reboots, but the pic was too funny to pass up. Does anyone have maybe an older version of Quantum kernel they know works with SlimKat 9? I use my S3 as a music player and really need the audio enhancement of Quantum.

It's baconnn!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirHustlerEsq:
I was running 7.0 just fine, only complaint was that volume keys don't work in a call and it's loud all the time on the handset.

Anyway, decide to try 9.0 on a clean install and all works but I have no service with mobile networks (Sprint). Not sure what's going on, going do another clean install and see what happens. Am I the only one?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] luisro:
[/COLOR]

If you have the Tri-Band version that will always happen on any ROM that does not have an specific kernel built for the Tri-Band version. The only ROMS we can install are the ones based on the stock firmware. All others give problems with the mobile networks. I know there are a couple of developers making specific versions of ROMS for this model, but I think there aren't quite stable yet.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] RTWright:
This Process Acore has stopped is starting to really upset me to the point I'm not sure what to do anymore. I have wiped my phone several times, doing Factory Reset and I have tried several versions up to the current Stable 9.0 ( Which by the way, this still is promoting 7.0 on the OP Title ). My phone is fine till I open up an app after the restoration process is done. It's random as to what apps do it, because this time it happened after I opened Dropbox, last time it was my Camera, time before that, it was Dolphin Browser. There hasn't been a 9.0 version of your GAPPS either, I'm still using the one from early in December. So I'm not sure if the problem exists within there or what. All I know is, I cannot escape this thing from happening and it's more than annoying. Personally I'd like to find 'acore' and flat out remove it from the dang OS, that's how frustrating it is.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirHustlerEsq:
Thanks for chiming in. I don't understand why it would work on version 7 but not 9. Was the tri-band functionality abandoned?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bschrag812:
I flashed 9.0 and seem to be having some network issues. While on the road today I noticed I wasn't getting any roaming connection. Also in areas that I know normally have LTE I was only picking up 3g, bit that might not be phone related. Now that I'm home LTE is working fine.

The only other issue I've noticed and can replicate is trying to open the camera from the lock screen. The camera app opens but just asked a black screen and shutter button. Eventually says camera is unresponsive and asks to force close. After that I have to reboot the phone to get out to work at all. Any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
I may be having a senior moment, but for the life of me I've not been able to boot to recovery (TWRP v2.4.4) powering down and then simultaneously pressing volume down and power button. I've also tried volume up and power. In both cases it just boots to the system. I can still enter recovery via the QuickBoot app or via adb ( "adb reboot recovery") without problems. I'm running the stable 9.0 ROM. Any ideas where I'm going wrong?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zhiwlin:
Recovery boot using power, volume up, and home button pressed at the same time.

Once the Samsung logo shows up and disappears, let go of power, but continue pressing volume up and home button
