Is anyone having any issues with charging? I think it might be related to a recent app install--my battery drains like crazy to the point where I can see my percentage drop every 10 seconds, and after some extensive GPS use today, my phone continued to drain during an in-car charge, and now refuses to charge via a wall outlet. When I try booting, I see the Slimkat splash for 10 seconds or so, and then it vanishes.

[Edit] I am able to boot into recovery...

[Edit 2] It seems a wipe data/cache/dalvik has solved the issue so far. Splash screen is animating and the phone is charging...

[Edit 3] The battery started at 13% and has now dropped to 11% over the course of 10 minutes or so--while charging.

Philz Touch, v6.41.6 (CWM v6.0.4.8) here.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Ok what I need exactly is: A complete clean flash, factory reset,wipe cache,dalvik, and format system manually. Flash rom then gapps, Get a logcat of the full boot up put it on pastebin then change the dpi to 320 get another full logcat and put it on pastebin. email me both pastebins. email is nicklovell23@gmail.com. If you can do this it would be greatly appreciated.thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
I can do this but not until later this evening (eastern time here). Unless I see a post stating otherwise I will have it for you sometime between 7-9 pm.

PS Does it matter what Gapps? I normally use mini.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please do a Factory Reset. Do not restore any apps. Just boot normally and check for charge.

GPS usage does extensively drain battery. After a lot of Charge cycles battery starts to show its age. Kernel animation is expected.

Do you have long boot times ? Others on a different thread did have long boot times with same recovery. If you too have it, then please follow Nick's request.

No it does not matter which Gapps you use.

Hello All. I'm running Slim-4.4.4.build.6-OFFICIAL-5242 with the 3.4.95-cyanogenmod-gd56ed95 kernel and build slim_d2lte-userdebug 4.4.4 KTU84P 5242 test-keys. When ever I bring up Google Maps (Version 8.2.0 #802003420,) I get repeated "Unfortunately Google Text-to-speech Engine has Stopped" dialog windows superimposed over the map. The messages stop after about a minute.

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Google Maps and Google Voice Search, but the message persists. I don't see a specific app for text-to-speech on the phone, but there is one on my TF700 tablet. Is anyone else seeing this and has found a way to resolve it?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I think you need to re-install PicoTts.apk, the Google Text To Speech App is included in Gapps I think. Wipe the data to that app and then wipe Dalvik+cache

news on build 7 release?

Hey,

ANyone have an update as to when Build 7 (7.0) is coming out ? I am ready to update from Build 4.2 weekly....which was the best build at that time. And I see its been almost a month since 6.0......so its about time...

[keep on coding] best rom out there....:good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
6.6 came out last week
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
You can wait a couple weeks for 7, or try the 6.6, which is every bit as stable for most as the stable builds.

From my Tab Pro 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zhiwlin:
Could the long boot time or not even booting be due to the ND8 bootloader? How many people with long boot time upgraded to nd8 (like me)?

clean flash and logcat

[MENTION=4408910]nicklovell23[/MENTION] [MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION] S**t!! I know I said I would get you logcat for a clean install of 6.6 and one for a change of dpi. Unfortunately I ran into a situation where I gave my mother my phone for the next ~12 hours (overnight) or so. Will still flash and take a logcat sometime tomorrow. I won't automatically post but if you still need it I will have it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
No worries think we got what we need.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dprotp:
I did do a factory reset--and I experienced the same issues. I suspect it's a hardware issue--I'm in the process of setting up my SGS3 to flash back to stock and confirm.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Weekly is coming. Looking on Slimroms.net, it looks like fixes for slow boot times and charging while off are included.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ssmercurys:
Weekly 6.8 is out now. Clean flashed and can confirm that slow boot issue is gone. Back to regular ol' snappy SlimKat.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Confirmed: Slow boot issue resolved. 6.8 boots like a champ.

Anyone else stuck at "Turning WiFi on"?

I'm back to 6.4 for now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zhiwlin:
I read somewhere that the wifi issue is because CM updated the wifi code. You're probably using a custom kernel that has not yet been upgraded to account for this wifi. If you stay with Slimkat's builtin kernel, it should work...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
There are couple of commits for Moduleless WiFi operation. Please ask your Custom Kernel developer to look for those.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Thank you. Giving it a go.

Everything works great on stock ROM. No more Lean Kernel for a while I guess.

Hi. Can anyone tell me what Smart Pull down in the Settings is and what it does?

---------- Post added at 11:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 PM ----------

I'm dirty n no probs. Went from 6.4 to 6.8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Smart pull down is when you pull down your notivation it will show your toggles unless you have a notivation.then it will only be the noticifation you see no toggles..dam auto correct. Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I'm on 4.4.4 right now (5.10 weekly, I know, I'm a bit behind the times) and I don't have any issues connecting to my Griffin Bluetrip and haven't for a long, long time, including when I was running 4.4.2.

It's not a stock Bluetooth through the car, but I do remember a build or two where people were reporting this issue. I haven't seen it come up in quite sometime, so it could potentially be one of the builds you're using.

My suggestion would be to backup what you have now, clean flash something a bit more recent, and try it that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Build 6.6. I have the following issues.

1) Apps do not update automatically even though I have them set to auto update over wifi

2) Still no "google voice search from any screen". I had this on CM prior to moving to SlimKat, so I really do think this is ROM related. Can anyone tell me if they have this feature available?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] htb723:
I just updated to the official build 6, and still I'm having the force close issue with the bluetooth. LTE isn't working for me either :/ I really like this rom and those two issues are what's keeping it from being perfect. Has the issue gone away for anyone using a more recent version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
1. Depends on if the app was installed from play store or restored from Titanium Backup. If it was backup, make sure, TiBu settings are changed to restore playstore link.

2. Change your Launcher to Google Home.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
1. Fresh install from the store. I used slim kat gapps

2. I thought Google now supported this irrespective of your launcher? I've never had GEL and I'd rather not switch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jorv976:
WHAT?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
He meant Navigation Bar.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
1) This is because Slim Gapps have been modified to be multi-dpi compatible. Auto updates have been removed so that you don't end up with a Play Store that's no longer multi-dpi. It's a little inconvenient, but less inconvenient that suddenly running into issues (or losing dark theme).

2) The only way I've heard to get it (other than waiting for Google) is to actually search in Google Now for "ok Google everywhere".

From my Tab Pro 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I have it on my phone running SlimKat 5.10 and it works great. All I had to do was update Google Search from Google Play and the type (or say) "OK Google everywhere" into the google search. then you go to your Google Now settings > Voice > "OK Google" detection, and there should be some new options. I like being able to search from the lockscreen (works well as long as it doesn't need to open any other app).

I have been meaning to update to the latest weekly, can anyone confirm that the above process works on 6.8?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
I've tried this several times and it has not worked. Tried on 6.4 and 6.6. This exact same trick worked for me on CM11.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
Strange, I wonder if something changed between 5.10 and now that keeps it from working. I guess I will wait on loading the latest weekly then.

As a note, I have the following relevant app versions on my working system

Google Search - 4.8.20

Google Play Services - 5.0.84

Google Now Launcher - 1.0.16.1154249
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That's exactly what I suspected. I don't think he has the Launcher. I had asked him to install Google Now Launcher in my last post.

This rom does not include Google now launcher.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zhiwlin:
OK Google is a function of the Google Now Launcher. Nova Launcher has this as well if you don't like Google Now Launcher.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Google Experience launcher is not required for this functionality. The last two or more iterations of "google now" or "google search" have this built in.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Ok Google everywhere works for me on my Nexus 5 and my Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 (unofficial) using SlimKat 6.4-6.8. I really don't think it matters what ROM. It could just be that Google hates you. [emoji80]

WiFi Tether Router

WiFi Tether Router does not work with build 6.8. I contacted the developer and uploaded the log from the app on my S3.

I went back to build 6.6 and WiFi Tether Router works.

Developer says it is the Rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I use Nova launcher as my home, but have the Google Now Launcher installed. AFAIK, the new Google Search app is all you are supposed to need.

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:10 PM ----------

Then i will flash 6.8 and see if I can get it working there. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ssmercurys:
I am on 6.8 right now and Ok Google works just fine. I activated it the day I flashed it. It was working for me on 6.6 as well.

One thought is to ensure your Google Search app is up to date to the newest version.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
It was on the latest, and just in case I uninstalled and reinstalled it. No dice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
It works just fine on 6.8 Go to Language and Input and then Voice Search settings to activate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
I'll give it a shot and check back.

Alright, I got "ok google everywhere" to work on 6.8 (probably works on 6.6 and 6.4 too).

I had gapps mini. Updated that to gapps full and I got the options to turn it on. Thanks everyone for the help!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
Yup. I was having the same issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jorv976:
Works for me on 6.8
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
I was having issues with lag on 6.8 Device gets sluggish and then sticks on one screen and won't do anything for a minute or two. Reboot seems to temporarily resolve. Downgraded to 6.6 with LeanKernel to see if this solves the issue or if my device is finally giving up on life.

This has been resolved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Are you willing to try a test build that addresses some of that ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
Absolutely.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] azdragon:
I am having the same problem of my phone becoming non-responsive and freezing for a minute or two on 6.8 (clean install) . I would love to test any available fix for this problem.

I also have the problem of the on-screen navigation keys repeatedly showing up. Has anyone else seen this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please check your PM. Dirty flash is Ok.

DO NOT CHANGE to ART for the duration of Testing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I was on a business trip recently and noticed a few things with Google Maps and the GPS (for reference, I am on the latest 6.8 build running the stock kernel and normal beta slim gapps). At one point, GPS randomly cut out out of the blue (I was in an open area so it makes no sense) and Google Maps said GPS connection was lost, so I had to restart the app to get it back. And in a few other cases, what happens is I'll have the phone in landscape mode, and Google Maps will redraw only on the left half of the screen like I put it in portrait mode or something, at which point I'd have to take the phone out of the mount and orient it left and right a few times until it redraws again correctly. And I do have the intermittent problem of the keyboard overlaying random things (i.e. I'll press the home button coming back from hangouts or email or wherever keyboard input is required and the keyboard will still be there). Also for some reason the stock kernel is very sluggish compared to things like LeanKernel, which is not working properly for me on build 6.8 (WiFi, for example, refuses to turn on for me). Anyway, I'll try to open 2-3 apps on the stock kernel and it really struggles to keep up.

The notification LED is another issue. I will remove my phone from the charger and the LED will still be lit thinking it's charging. I've seen this happen more times than not. I know this happened on much older builds and it was fixed since but this bug seems to be back.

Other than those issues, everything else is great. Thanks Slim Team!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rcatank:
I second some of that... I was on the road and GPS was basically non-existent. Even with High Accuracy on. GMaps was basing my location on LTE towers.

GPS only locks on if I use GPS essentials for testing gps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bog3nator:
Then just reset up Adaway I am using them together and it works fine
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
I remember reapplying adaway, but then the ads would show up again after a reboot (or a few hours, don't remember how long it took). i got annoyed and just switched to killjoy, and i still get battery/performance benefits.

this might not be the right thread to talk about crossbreeder :p; i just wanted to say that it did work, but that i also had some problems

edit: not saying that i hate crossbreeder, and i'll probably switch back after the adblocking is fixed for 4.3 because it just seems like a simpler script
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I have had 3-4 random reboots already this morning. I don't know whats going on. Sometimes the phone is just sitting there and it reboots.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Samurai7314:
That could help. I've used BMS and ktoonz.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Sorry, I am not familiar with what BMS is.

Please bare with me, I am coming from Touch Wiz roms, so this area is new to me. What is BMS and on Ktoonz, what kernel would I want to try?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Samurai7314:
No worries . Those are kernels.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Again, please bare with me as this version of roms/kernels etc is new to me.

May I suggest Posting the Redraw issue and Orient issue on the Gapps thread ? For keyboard issue, can you do a factory reset and then test ? Do not restore any backups such as Titanium Backups.
