I thought that warning screen WAS download mode. But I'm not as familiar with this device as others, so I could be wrong. Does Odin recognize the device if you plug it in on that screen?

From my Tab Pro 8.4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
The Warning Screen with "Downloading" message is the screen you want for Odin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kizzle4:
i can get just before that.. to the warning custom install press volume up to confirm volume down to exit, volume up doesnt function here.

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

cannot get PC to recognize it no, not even when it bootloops threw the boot screen.

---------- Post added at 08:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:18 AM ----------

still trying things im reading here and there, about to give the sd card trick a go again.. have been spamming adb commands during bootup and before and during bootloops.

I dont know was very much enjoying 4.4.4 being i usually use a note 3 (att) and were locked down bootloader wise. so this was nice change of pace to have aosp, let alone 4.4.4

---------- Post added at 08:54 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:22 AM ----------

This is all I can do besides freeze on boot animation. Tried to add pic if it worked? Just cannot push volume up to enter download mode
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kizzle4:
Okay problem not solved buy figured out issue. Volume up key doesn't work... so I'm screwed?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr.Miyagi555:
I am coming from LS 3.0, i did a full wipe on TWRP 2.7.1.0? i think thats the latest, and installed slim 7.0 and min gapps but it loads to the slimkat screen then reboots back to twrp for some reason. Is no one using twrp anymore? what recovery should i be using? also noticed goomanager is gone from play store too for some reason. Sorry i havent been keeping up with flashing or any android related news for a while.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
That's the latest TWRP and it works for me. Maybe try another download in case that one is corrupt. Also, in TWRP advanced wipe, wipe system to make sure there's no remnants of previous stuff.

Philz Touch 6.48 works well. Has choice to factory reset/prepare phone for new rom. Automates many steps.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tsoul0529:
I'm so loving this ROM!!! Amazing job with the 7.0 stable built!

I hope I'm not repeating this question as I tried searching for it, but does anyone know how to get hover on this ROM?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Hit Volume down key and get into recovery. That does have an option to reboot to download mode. If so, then flash stock firmware via Odin.

This is going bit OT. If you continue to have trouble, please post a new thread under Q&A. PM me that link if no one responds. Remember I have different variant not exact same one.

Hover is a AOKP feature. This is an AOSP Rom. We have Heads UP instead. No it can't be incorporated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Tsoul0529:
Makes sense! Thanks a lot. Still an amazing ROM!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jorv976:
Running great
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] christian.a:
Love this latest build!!!! Battery life is excellent!

Anyone got a link for a note 2 keyboard that works with KitKat?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
That relies on the Touchwiz framework so you're stuck with the AOSP keyboard or whatever is available in the Play store (i.e. Swiftkey).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
Build 7 is working swimmingly on my s3, but this device is getting a bit dated and I am due for an upgrade. It looks like the only current flagship phone with SlimKat running on it is the HTC M8. I was thinking about getting the LG G3, but the the UI is abhorrent and it doesn't have all the features I have come to love in a SlimRom. Add to that that it hasn't been rotted on Sprint yet and it was a no-go. I doesn't look like there is a stable build for the S5 either and it has been out for 4 months (damn you knox!).

Should I stick with my s3 and hope a Nexus 6 materializes in the fall or is there a better SlimKat friendly option with Sprint right now?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Me, I'm waiting on a 64 bit phone preferably N6.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I'm a big fan of that dark theme you have going on there, well done.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mordbane:
I'm on board with this, there needs to be a quantum leap in phone technology before I get rid of my S3, especially as long as Slim keeps getting ported to it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
DO NOT hold your breath. I heard the letter L in the recent chats regarding Slim. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
7.2.1 running smooth.;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Ask and you shall receive.

Though I would wait until Slim get ported. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I agree completely. The stock UI is unbearable after being spoiled with Slim for so long. Now that there is a root exploit hopefully the bootloader and custom ROMs are not too far off. I think I still may wait until the fall and see if the N6 materializes.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Woot! Finally see a nice green check mark in there :good: Running as solid as always ... just got a new 3000mAh genuine Samsung extended battery too (expensive as hell, yes, but worth it) so my phone's never been better (with this + LeanKernel) :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Your inbox refuses to accept PM. So I can't respond.

As a matter of fact, I'd highly recommend you going back to stock with Odin. Along the way, please reflash the correct Partition .PIT file for your device capacity (16 GB or 32 GB whichever you have). That will remove the Not enough storage errors.

Once this is successful, Please flash the latest Stable 7.0.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
I've had a couple of instances where I can't open any apps. Usually when there are lots of apps in memory.

I have to reboot to open apps again.

Here is a logcat:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
On a clean flash of 7.0 the battery life is pretty ordinary. I get about 10 hours with wifi and about 5 without. Stock kernel and settings. I'll try the latest weekly.

I've found a couple of issues on this ROM and CM11 wonder if this happens to others

Slowdown and heating up while using google apps for a long time. Eg. hangouts or maps. The phone heats up big time and grinds to a halt. Usually needs a reboot to recover. Loses a LOT of battery.

Tremendous slowdown if you try and use apps shortly after rebooting/powering up the phone. Gotta wait for like 5 mins for things to go slowly.

Also, is anyone using themes? What's the best Xposed module that gives you the biggest range of themes? I've tried both modules linked in the OP but HK doesn't work very well for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks. I will take a look when I am home. Got firewall issues now.

If you are not using a custom Kernel or any kernel mods then use Trickster Mod and change your Governor to OnDemand.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
Thank you. Great smooth rom btw.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I went through your log. Thanks by the way for having the presence of mind to grab one.

The way I see it, either you had airplane mode on or had some signal issues. Amazon App store tried to install a bunch of apps perhaps. Got pretty much stuck without network and hung up my guess.

Then again same thing happened to couple of browsers, Dolphin and Google Play Movies and Lunafaqt.

Does that sound about right ?

Can you grab me a bugreport by chance ? I need to see the kmsg in there .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
I will definitely grab a bug report the next time it happens.

The signaling issue doesn't seem to track because I was on Wi-Fi when it happened. I guess anything is possible.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Do me a favor. Switch to ART instead of Dalvik. Reboot and observe. I may have this pinned down to a Dalvik config.

I tried twice to change to Art. It rebooted without changing. Logcat:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks. As before. Can't see any of this when I am at work. Will check later today.

Do me a favor. Take a nandroid, do a complete factory reset plus wipe Dalvik+cache. Then flash the Rom and Gapps. Boot, change to ART see if it sticks. Report the result and then go back to your nandroid.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
That worked. On fresh install, I was able to switch to Art.

I have reverted back to my nandroid backup however as I don't have time to setup my phone this evening.

Changed my email to a newer Id, thats why XDA wouldn't let me post/ receive PM's for a few days....10 post minimum blah blah blah...

Anyway, I do not have KNOX, but have MK3 firmware. Any recommendation as to which ODIN file I should go to? I see a few threads for ND8 ODIN files, but I like my phone without the NSA watching me.

I found 2 posts by CNexus which look promising:

Recommendations?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
If you had MK3 firmware before, stick with it. No reason to change. Cnexus's work is pretty good. Pick either one you want.

To Everyone, do me a favor, check network speeds of today's weekly and that of Weekly 7.2.1 or 7 stable. I hope you will get a speed improvement. Also the Issue of Apps not Opening should be gone. I have tested the fix on my phone since Saturday till now. Kindly let me know how it goes.

Quick question when my Bluetooth earpiece is connected the phone rings only in the earpiece any phone is silent. I didn't find an option in settings to turn on.. Does anybody have any suggestions?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
To fix the apps not opening problem, do I need to fresh install this or will it be fine to dirty flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I'd suggest Clean Flash without Data Restore. At lease don't restore anything until you have tested for the issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
Good call. I'll just restore titanium backups of apps and re-setup everything else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I remember reading a while back that Leankernel stopped working with Slimkat. Did LK catch-up and now work on Stable 7?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You know what ? I'd hold off on Titanium Restore too until you know for sure the issue is resolved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
Without restoring TB, I wouldn't know because I wouldn't be using my phone under normal circumstances.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You can install those apps from Play Store rather than from TB. Then you could restore the data for all user apps if need be. But if issue comes back, you will need to Start again and this time restore data one by one.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
I have 200+ apps. In troubleshooting cases, I only restore apps with data to non system apps and do not restore system settings.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Ok That'll work in that case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mbr007:
Can't install XDA Free mobile app from play store on usb or sdcard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
I also can't install apps to sdcard. This includes restoring a titanium backup of apps to sdcard.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Can you unmount your SD Card from Settings and then try ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
That worked!

The rom somehow switched back to dalvik.

I initially switched to art before installing apps. For some reason it's back to dalvik and won't change back to art.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jjayno2003:
How can I get the LTE to work I've been on stock for a min and 4g would work at my home now I just get bars when I go to lte
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
It sticks for me. Are you sure one of your apps isn't demanding Dalvik and switching without your permission. And of course. if you are using a custom kernel, it too could be guilty.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
I guess it could be an app. No biggy. I guess i can hold out for art until android L
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
You guys seeing a noticeable improvement in network speeds on the latest weekly as Perseus suggested? Nothing here, same old crappy Sprint speeds :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
I haven't flashed it yet. How is everything else working? As soon as I flash it, I'll report back on the speeds as well, though like you, I don't know how much we really have to work with...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Solid as always, I never have a problem with Slim + Lean :good:

I don't get FCs anymore when scrolling around the map while navigating either (that was annoying). And with the 3000mAh genuine extended battery I just got, my phone lasts forever. Only reason to upgrade at this point would be for a better hardware like a better camera, but owning an SLR, I hardly use it anyway. And I highly doubt I'll upgrade to a Nexus 6 (or Nexus X as they're calling it) if rumors are true and they're going to put a ~6" screen on that thing; that's just absurd. I'm sure I can squeeze another year or so of life on my S3 :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hayzooos:
Bolded for truth. Glad to hear everything is working fine, I'll have to snag LK again and give it a good run.

Thanks for the reply.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
I can't find the Lean kernel anywhere. Mind giving me a link?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please post a Question in Sprint Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting if you can't find the kernel. Please DO NOT derail this ROM's thread.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] SirHustlerEsq:
I've spent the last 24 on 4.4.4 build 7.6 "weekly"; is there a newer "stable" release? I see no problems so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Terrible data speeds :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Nope.

Sprint at your service I suppose ? There is an overall feel of poor speeds about sprint from what I hear.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Yes, Sprint.. Without a doubt, the Never Now Network. It's very odd tho, I can jump on my TouchWiz ROM and get 10mbps+ (generally) but, when I use an AOSP/Cyanogenmod based ROM.. I'm lucky to break 2-4mbps.. Not quite sure what is going on. I've tried the stock kernel in SlimKat, LeanKernal, DeathlyKernal, and BMS to no avail..... The battery life is far better than TouchWiz though... not sure if I can throw data speed under the bus for better battery life ;[
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Its the custom built Touchwiz drivers in Sprint code.

Can you check the Touchwiz Build.prop to see if anything jumps out of there. ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I'm not smart enough for that. Still in beginner stages of learning :\

---------- Post added at 06:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

I can gladly share the tw bp with you tho!

Edit: Been playing with speed tests.. WiFi tether to my Desktop PC is pulling an average of 7.5mbps, while the phone itself barely will reach 3... Just sharing what I am experiencing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Use FCC Speedtest app. speedtest.net has issues.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I've used FCC, and every other Speed Test app in the market. This is including the "native" status bar up/down Mod for ROMs aswell.. The conclusion is no matter what CM based ROM/Kernel I choose, My data speed is halved, if not more :( I went back to TouchWiz last night and as I expected I am on 6-8mbps+... I've scoured the web and come across similar problems, but no recommended fix. *shrugs*
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Try an AOKP Rom such as PAC rom and see if that too reports the same way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Will do.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Same deal with PAC ROM.. Won't reach over 2 - 3 mbps.. I would normally blame Sprint.. but it doesn't seem to be the case :(
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Are you already on 4.3 ? If not, then can you simply flash most recent Modem for the Sprint Variant ? I believe it'd be the Kitkat Modem.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
I am on the ND8 bootloader and have tried both NDC and ND8 Modems and different PRL's... to no avail :/
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Do please ask [MENTION=5304781]sixgunmojo[/MENTION] to chime on this please. See what his Sprint Modem did. He too has a perennial speed issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
If [MENTION=5304781]sixgunmojo[/MENTION] could chime in that'd be great xD
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] hermeticist:
To increase network speed you could try adding these two lines to the build.prop file. (Backup the original first).

ro.ril.hsxpa=2

ro.ril.gprsclass=12

These definitely increased speed on AT&T
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Thanks or the suggestion! Unfortunately that killed it worse. Adding that sky rocketed my Ping. I should stress latency doesn't seem to be the issue. My speed is basically throttled to 2mbps or less. On LTE! Nandroid a TW ROM and I am fine. I would just like to figure out where/why at this point, rather it can be fixed or not lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
I'm here. :) Like Perseus said I've got crap speed but Ive always assumed it was Sprint. I know I'm in an area with crappy signal and since I haven't run a TW rom for more than a day or two in ~4 years I never thought to compare the two. I've got to update my TW rom to get a current nandroid and since Slim just dropped 7.8 and I'm still on a 7.2 test build I'll try to clean flash and test them both. Probably won't be able to post results until late Wed. night or Thurs. morning.

[MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION]

1) Anything I should look at while I'm on TW?

2) I don't know what word you were looking for but perennial (post 2480) isn't it. A perennial is a plant with a life span > 2 years. ;)

I'm getting issues with Snapchat where it will not record a video (after recording, it'll say "Video recording failed.) It will however work if I install an older version of Snapchat. That doesn't work for me however seeing as the older versions of Snapchat didn't do the texting.

The second issue with it is that images will only looks correct if the phone is horizontal. Otherwise if i am taking a picture in the portrait position, the image is shrunken in, and everything appears thinner.

Anyone have any idea how i can fix this?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Do be kind and see #3

Don't know what I was thinking. :laugh: May be Perpetual is what I was looking for.

While on TW, there are couple of things you should do/look for.

1. Get the latest Kitkat Modem Sprint recently released. Do so preferably with just the modem flash unless you had previously accepted the 4.3 update from Sprint. Also make sure it actually works for you not just speeds but voice quality as well. Particularly on rear speaker.

2. Do get a GPS Signal lock and Make sure the camera is updated to latest firmware.

3. Grab me the Stock build.prop unmolested. Preferably one from the 4.4 update. Again don't get it unless you had previously accepted the 4.3 update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
Didn't get to fully test like I wanted to but the on a clean flash of WickedX 8.0 (themed Sprint ND8 KK w/ KT747 kernel) my speeds were roughly 1.5-2 times faster although crap times crap is still crap (~0.6-0.8 Mbs vs ~0.45 Mbs). Disabling the Sprint proxies as posted above kept me in the 0.8-0.9 Mbs range. Since tomorrow is when I do the yardwork for the ladies in my family and I know I'll have some time in an area where the signal is slightly steadier than what I get at my place I'm gonna run some tests over there. I'll test SK 7.8 and a stock (sorta - rooted and deodexed) Sprint KK. Ive also found a nandroid on my computer that I MAY have made right after I odined over to the ND8 (KK) rom. That would be the closest I have to a stock ota update since I've never taken one.

As to your requests

1) already on latest Sprint modem never had any problems with rear speaker or voice quality that wasn't attributed to crap signal (or thunderstorm :)).

2) never had a problem w/ gps or camera but will check

3 I'll yank the build.prop out of the stock zip and if I can I'll see if I still have the ota .tar file to yank one out of. I'll post them tomorrow when I let you know the results.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sixgunmojo:
test results

[MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION] [MENTION=5241571]Saafir[/MENTION] Here are the results for the tests I ran today. These are test run on 3g only as I don't really get lte in my area. I can occasionally get an lte signal that is just stong enough to put the lte icon in my signal bar but my speeds are slower than what I get on 3g. As you can see my SK (pic 1) speeds are slightly higher than I'm getting on a mostly stock TW (pic 2) but for the most part they both suck. This is why I'm probably going to see what kind of a deal ATT or Verizon will give me on a Note 3 come November when my contract ends. I've also included the stock build.prop in case you want to read it (perseus)

PS I really, really dislike TW (shudder) don't make me do this again:crying:

PPS maybe I'll drink heavily this weekend and see if I can figure out why I got completely different results between my house and my sisters :p
