The ONLY time that I had issues with mobile data was when I tried lean kernel. I lost data with any lean kernel after v9.10 and it was hell getting it back. I have tried dkp, bms, quantum, lean, and kt747 with slimkat 7.0. I like BMS and DKP the best of all. I thought I was having battery issues with dkp, although I found that I had a misbehaving app which was causing most of the issues. I may go back to it now that I've gotten many of my other issues out of the way... KT747 has issues that wifi doesn't work with slimkat, at least with 7. Quantum didn't seem like anything special.

BMS and DKP both allow control over clocking and voltage. They seem very similar. I can't say whether one is better than the other. I don't know if there is a lot of activity on bms for the SGS3. I know that [MENTION=4932679]decimalman[/MENTION] still has, and uses, his SGS3 so he is very interested in keeping it up-to-date.

Hope that helps.

Back to our regularly scheduled thread... :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rwstarke:
I believe LeanKernel is based off of CM kernel. SlimKat also uses a CM kernel. I also believe you have to use "matching" kernel versions with SlimKat because of the changes in CM kernel. SlimKat 7.2.1 was released about the same time as LeanKernel 9.10
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please Let's keep the Kernel discussions for that Kernel's thread. Let's only discuss this Rom on this thread please.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Isn't CM having the same LTE issues? Also, will a GPS clear on a TW ROM help? I'd be happy to try but I've forgotten how to do that...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Post that on CM Thread please.

[ROM][OFFICIAL] CyanogenMod Nightly Builds for d2lte
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
No, I get that. Perhaps I misunderstand, but isn't this an AOSP ROM as well? So if 2 ROMs are having the same issues perhaps there's some common ground there?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes there is common Ground. We are looking into it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] techdog:
I am currently on 7.0. Is there any advantage to flashing 7.21 or 8.0? I see that there are a number of issues that some are having with anything other than these builds and, like you, I rely on Bluetooth, GPS, tethering, Wi-Fi AP, and Wi-Fi.

So, is there any burning reason to flash either of these others since 7.0 seems to be working ok for me (although I have had occasional camera issues but I wasn't sure whether that was the ROM or another app I was using).

Thanks.

I was wondering if there was any kind of sound mod to increase the speaker sound? Even with all volume sliders max'd and the DSP Manager set, the sound output is so low that I don't even hear when I get a text message.

I know on the TouchWiz roms there was a sound hack. Hoping there might be something like that for this rom?

Thank you,

text messages

upgraded to beta 3 had trouble receiving text messages. calls were fine, texts would just flood in a huge batch or wouldn't come in at all. reverted back to build 8 and the issue carried over. was on mb1 baseband (i know old, too lazy to change it) restored a tw nand updated my baseband, prl, and profile. did a clean install of beta 4 and i'm still suffering from this sparse text reception. any ideas how to correct this? or is this a know problem being worked on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] CyberGmonster:
So what's everyone's battery life been like so far? Not too impressed with stock so now I'm trying BMS aggressively UV/UC'ed and which I usually had good luck with most AOSP related ROM.s in the past.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I'm getting pretty good battery life on this build. I'm using the stock kernel with asswax / cfq and it's been a great combo personally. I was on 1 day 10 hours ish with about 2 hours of screen time and 15% battery life. This is after I fully drained the battery on this build and recharged it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I wouldn't flash anything 8.x if you need something stable. They are pretty buggy (as they are supposed to be since they are weeklies). I just now noticed I cannot receive any calls on my 8.0 weekly and my sound just randomly stopped working a few days ago and so I've been missing my alarm the past two days. I'm going back to 7.0 stable. Hopefully by the time all the issues are fixed and a stable is out, LeanKernel will be updated to work with it without any problems as well. So far, I see problems with Bluetooth, GPS, dropped calls, incoming calls not being received, and no sound on the 8.x series. I believe CM nighlies are having the same issues. People are saying CM nightlies from 0804 (which coincides with the 0805 release of SlimKat 7.0) is still the most stable so far the past few months.

---------- Post added at 08:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------

So I'm not sure what happened, but I went back to 7.0 stable and still have no sound when it was working fine just 3-4 days ago. Looks like it's time to Odin back to ND8 stock, something really got borked it seems. Good again after Odin, back on SlimKat 7.0 now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
The latest weekly is working well for me but with a 2 exceptions - no LTE and no GPS. The bluetooth and calling issues have been resolved. LTE and GPS are things I don't use as much, so I'm not too hung up about it, but that's just my personal opinion.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
Being around NYC, I use LTE a LOT, and use GPS everyday to check routes with minimal traffic to and from work. Anyway good to hear other bugs are slowly getting squashed. I've been reading that other Sammy devices like jflte are having the same problems.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] catnapped:
Does the GAPPS version (or build date) also have to coincide with the ROM build date/version or does it not make a difference?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
It doesn't matter.

edit: the later the build date the more up to date the Google Apps will be but they're independent of the rom. Just do yourself a favor and flash Kit Kat GApps for Kit Kat roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Strange. After a few weeks of running weekly 8.0 with no issues, I just lost LTE. In status it says I have a good signal, but no data. 3G works fine, and my son has no problem w/LTE (but he's running 7.0 stable). Reboot didn't help. I'll go back to 7.2.1 when I have a chance and wait for the next update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Slim is now at 8.6.1 and probably releasing 8.8 soon for the D2LTE.Which is for our phone.this thread op is still saying 7.0 ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
7.0 was the last official/stable release.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Gotcha.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] generalmx:
So 8.6.1, the last d2lte weekly, doesn't work with mobile data for Sprint with MD8 modem; nor does 8.4, with or without a custom kernel. IMEI was fine. However Carbon ROM Nightly 10/20 works just fine for me for everything --- phone, wifi, texting, mobile data, etc. --- and I think you two both pull from CM11?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
No there are some issues we are trying to resolve be patient.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
I'm pretty sure Perseus was referring to the thread title, saying since 7.0 was the last stable release, it's what is still in the thread title instead of the 8.x weekly. I have complete faith that nick and Perseus will fix the problems for the next release. Lot of problems in CM overall for Sammy devices, give the devs some time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Exactly. I think we've been spoiled by having so many stable Slim weeklies in the past. I have no problem with staying on 7.2.1 - it has everything I want and more. I don't *need* to flash something new every week, do I? (Don't answer that). Perseus & Nick, take as much time as you need. And thanks, again.

losing root after flashing the rom

I just noticed the root I ever pocessed was lost after flashing the rom.

I rooted before following the steps here:

http://galaxys4root.com/galaxy-s4-root/how-to-root-att-or-verizon-galaxy-s4-on-android-4-4-2/

Then I can use flashify to get recovery and install this Slimkat rom.

But now I found that root was taken away!

I tried the same link above (dl/install tr, dl/install superuser), but find no go for either:

tr cannot report "you have root now", but stuck there forever;

superuser s=asked to update, but fail eventually.

I'll appreciate if anyone can help.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
You have to activate developers options in settings.tapping the phone build...in developers options scroll down to root access .click that then apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
Thanks.

I just regained root following this:

To All -

Please note, there will be a weekly coming up. This weekly may have issues with GPS (or not). That's just a headsup. Please let me know if you continue to have issues with SMS/MMS afterwards.

Do not Post a Bug Report/Logcat if you did Dirty Flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Good news..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Data and SMS/MMS are working fine for me, but, as indicated, GPS is still an issue. Otherwise, I like the settings menu changes and Slim Launcher looks promising. I'm sticking with Nova for now, though, because I'm used to it and I have all my settings backed up for easy restore after clean flash. Thanks again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You do know Slim Launcher is based on Nova right ? So your settings can be imported. :p

BTW Thanks for letting me know that all on Data front is well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Actually, no, I didn't do my homework on that! I'll give it another shot. Thanks, and you're welcome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Is there any way to back up general settings like interface options?

I'll be clean flashing 8.9 now and will report back if LTE doesn't work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mholloway:
Data is working for me only in strong signal areas . in weak areas no signal at all ,where other roms work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yeah I suspected. But the way other Roms have implemented, it requires you to update your firmware, in particular your Modem. I don't want to force an update if you guys don't want to.

Good to know though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
Has the current release solved the 4G data problem?

I flashed 7.2.1, which still don't have 4G-LTE. I did dial *#*#4636#*#* and followed the link

http://forum.slimroms.net/topic/2814-no-lte-connectivity-with-verizon-running-slimkat-stable/

to enable the 4G,

But still cannot get it.

If anyone has the clue, please advice.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Alright, looks like LTE is back. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
Can you please detail this?

What version made the LTE back?

Do I need flash any kernel besides flashing the ROM?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
Version 8.9, the latest nightly as of today. Stock everything with the latest slim gapps beta. I'd recommend a clean flash though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
Thanks.

From the link: http://slimroms.net/index.php

I found the word: 'D2lte: Data fixed "GPS still broke"' for 8.9.

Does it mean the GPS not working?

I flashed many versions of the SlimKat (including the current 7.2.1), not having a single problem of GPS.

Please advice. Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
I can get a GPS lock, I'm not sure about navigation. In the previous versions, GPS navigation was broken since it kept losing the lock or forgetting where it was. This version may or may not have resolved that issue. If you want a rock solid version I'd suggest sticking to 7.X
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
7.X may have stable GPS, but don't have 4G LTE.

Still hard to believe 8.X cannot handle the legacy functions like GPS.

Can anyone confirm if GPS in this version works (can navigate)?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] involuntaryqool:
I have 7.x and use LTE in my apartment for tethering my laptop all the time. LTE works for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
Can you detail what's the exact version of 7.X?

I'm on 7.2.1 but no 4G, as many other 7.X users complained.

It would be really strange if some 7.X user have 4G, and some don't, even with the same SlimKat version.

BTW, the background is that NO KERNEL flashed. o/w please specify.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] involuntaryqool:
I'm on official 7.0 build. I'm actually confused how some people have a 7.2.1 build. I just went to slim website..stable 4.4 builds and that was one listed. I'm using dkp kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
7.2.1 was an updated weekly from back in August, I believe, and is no longer on the Slim website. I was using that as my daily (mostly) until today, as various issues started to appear with weekly 7.4. I had no problem with LTE on 7.2.1 and GPS worked for me, too. LTE works on 8.9, but not GPS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
May I ask you flashed any kernel too (like dkp), or just the plain ROM with nothing on top?

I'm now digging hard to make my 7.2.1's 4G data working.

There must b something magic here : )

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
LTE worked for me on the stock kernel, as well as Lean kernel and BMS. You may need to flash a Touchwiz rom, update PRL & profile, and then flash Slim again.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] involuntaryqool:
I started looking online and looks like the 7.2.1 is a weekly and not the official 7.0 build. I just flashed ROM, gapps then let phone boot...restarted and flashed kernel. I was using quantum kernel earlier as well with no 4g issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
You flashed the "quantum kernel" after

1. flashing 7.2.1 and gapps

2. reboot

?

Then 4g works?

---------- Post added at 12:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:04 PM ----------

What means "Touchwiz rom"?

I flashed 7.2.1 directly on a Stock 4.3 ROM,

Is it the reason I didn't get 4G?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] involuntaryqool:
I flashed 7.0 not 7.2.1 and yes rom gapps restart then kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Touchwiz is the stock Samsung rom. If you flashed Slim over the stock rom, that would definitely cause problems. You need to do a full wipe and clean flash.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
There might be some miscommunication.

From Samsung Stock ROM 4.3 (I'm not sure Touchwiz or not), I first run tr, root, and flashify a CWM recovery. THEN after reboot into the CWM,

1. I DID full wipe all data and caches,

2. flashed the 7.2.1 and gapps.

I said "directly" since I doubt if the "Touchwiz" ROM is a different one than the 4.3 Stock, not means I didn't fully wipes.

So to be short: "Touchwiz" is just the Samsung Stock ROM 4.3, then my above steps should lead to working 4G, right?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Yes, if in CWM you did a factory reset, wiped cache and formatted system, you should be fine. Do you have a 3g signal?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] taller238:
I have 3G, but only if I set the setting->mobile data->Preferred Network as "3G".

Keep the default "LTE" selection will cause no data. But 3G will appear once set the option to "3G".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Wipe and reflash Slim (if you haven't already) - maybe something went wrong with the first install. If that doesn't work, and you made a nandroid backup of the stock rom, try wiping and flashing that, updating PRL, etc., and then wipe & reflash Slim. Or download one of the custom Touchwiz 4.3 roms if there's no backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zman519:
I have had no data problems with 7.2.1 3g and LTE 4G on sprint. But 4G is always kinda flacky at my home and that's just sprint with any phone, modems or ROMs.

Has anyone on the new build tested/used the app " Galactic Night " ? on 7.2.1 it can not gain root.

Sent from a thing running on Electrons
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
I'm on 8.9 and just tried "Galactic Night" again and got the "device not rooted/supported" message. I tried this app months ago, on Slim, and it worked, but I have no use for it. To be fair, the dev gives all kinds of warnings about using this app. Also, it hasn't been updated in 10 months, so may be an app issue, not the rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zman519:
I'll send the dev a log like the pop up says, you should to. I really like the app for driving, (you no like changing a song NOT txting and that irresponsible bull**** )and I walk a lot at night and it saves my night vision. I just use screen filter now it works pretty decent.

But this app did work with other asop ROMs before I jumped to slim and I just wonderd if anybody else is having problems or even used it. I miss it being built in like it was om cm7

Where to find the "AllShare Cast" option in this rom?

Just find the "AllShare Cast" cannot be found. I really miss the function to mirror to TV。

Can anyone advice?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
AllShare Cast, per se, is only available on Touchwiz roms, and is their proprietary term for Miracast. Slim has Miracast built in, I believe, in Settings>Display>Cast screen. I don't know if it will work for you, though, as I've never tried it. Give it a shot.

Snapchat?

I know i'm probably going to get biased answers posting in this thread, but i'm looking for some insight, is this the most stable and least buggy AOSP 4.4 release for d2spr? Does the camera work on Snapchat properly? This has been an issue with every AOSP ROM I have tried.

Edit: Also, how can this ROM work on all variants? They were never identical in the past.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] thanatos_evo:
The 7.x series are really stable and have worked much better for me than any CM milestone or stable release. With CM I used to get random slowdowns, random reboots and other issues. This ROM has been great for me.

One other thing I like is you'll get a response from the devs in a few hours. Feels like the improvements happen a lot faster.

If you're referring to why there's only d2lte ROM, it's because AOSP based ROMs merged all lte variants some time in Feb this year
