Thanks man, I'll try that.. I flashed the newest CM to see if it had been worked out. It hasn't. But I've noticed that if wifi is connected, it won't pester me. I will try the airplane mode trick on slim. I'll be flashing back in a few minutes. Hell I'll start now while the boss is away.

I'll try the airplane mode trick. That was recommended in the unofficial CM thread too. Thanks, Hell, I'll hit the button too. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
FYI PayPal link is not working correctly in op. May be a PayPal issue, but think it's directing to the wrong place...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
I think I'm going to run this starting today. I'm sure there will be a few growing pains with nightlies/weeklies, but it can't be as bad as when 4.2 was beta.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Back on slim, never to return to CM(Nothing against those builds, they were awesome, but lack the customization of slim) now that the airplane mode trick worked. Either that or due to me being on wifi here at work. I have noticed that being on wifi makes a difference as to whether or not com.android.phone crashes. I think when it looks for data and can't send my info to google/NSA/Converse/etc then it freaks out and crashes the phone app.

All of my favorite slim options are working fine. Old mixer theme took a while to apply but is working as well. Testing decimalmans kernel now. Will probably try imoseyon's new lean RC1 later. Mosey's first lean test worked very well for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
I know this isn't recommended, but I just dirty flashed this over my perfect 4.2 Build 8, and have Camera issues only.

That said, I'm having trouble with multiple root file apps with deleting Gallery2.apk. The app says "file deleted" but it's still there. The apps have root access.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dunlap92:
Mine appeared to be there as well...I ignored that and rebooted phone into recovery and flashed temp cam fix and wiped divlack cache and rebooted....all is good

Sent from my SCH-I535
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dbornack:
Worked for me. Except the camera is 4.2 :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
Should be good to go.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] countryfolk07:
Not sure if I skipped over it or its just not there. Was wondering if the stable has the qcril changes that cm did? Thanks.

Or is that the hardware/ril change in 1.9 ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stolly08:
O no just the BS stories I've heard about ppl saying its just how decibles are read blah blah
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
I say if tw ROMs run better on your phone, who cares what anyone else says about DBMS and such.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tedkord:
I can verify what he claims. It's not that the bars are different, it's that I get no connection at all in some areas on AOSP ROMs, but get a good connection in the same area with a TW ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
I'm having bluetooth issues on build 2 that I didn't have in previous builds. I cannot get my phone to pair with my car no matter what I try, it will say Connected (no media). I got it to connect once but it keeps downloading my contacts. I'll try again later to see if it's just user error
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SkinnyT:
Is there a reason that with the last two gapps updates I'm still not getting the latest Gmail? It won't update via the play store either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm curious about this as well, noticed this with the minimal gapps. Is it more of an issue with themeing the new Gmail 4.6? Later today, I may try removing the themed Gmail app from the gapps package and inserting the Gmail 4.6 apk and seeing if this works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OMG_VTEC:
there isnt anyone who would be able to upload these to a dropbox link is there? i have firewall crap blocking slims site at work and wont be around wifi for a while
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
I remember reading in a few other 4.3 threads that Devs are leaving out Gmail 4.6 bc of bugs. I thought I read that google pulled the update but that was a while ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Really? Hmm, I hadn't heard about that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Yeah I've been lurking around all the 4.3 threads. It couldve been PA, BeanStalk, or Carbon. But i do remember reading that about gmail 4.6.

This new build is easily the best 4.3 rom I have installed, for me at least. So smooth its crazy. MMS sends faster than ever, gps locks faster than ever, and the batery life seems great for the first day. Im officially a Slim fanatic. I cant wait to see how Lean kernel runs on this bad boy. Anyone try it yet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masri1987:
Where is inverted gapps? Downloaded aroma gapps and it wasn't inverted
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Relentless D:
Go into settings and hit the "Real Dark Slim" toggle. it will invert your apps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masri1987:
Yeah I'm trying to use it on my g2 and nexus 7 with other aosp roms, there used to be inverted slim apps
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
lol I always thought that only affected the Settings gradient (which I dislike) and that the gapps were inverted by default! On set up, I enable that before signing into my Google account.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] masri1987:
This exactly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Anyone notice popping or static like noise during calls? I was on a call earlier, first one since stable 2, and there was occasional popping that would occur. Wasn't something I had an issue with on prior builds so I'll keep my ears open if it happens again. This is a clean flash of stable 2 with stock kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ryanstfl:
What's up with the play store gingerbread icon?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
What's causing this? I cleaned flashed this last night.

---------- Post added at 08:17 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:14 AM ----------

Of course I'm talking about the media server. I expected to see the screen at the top since it had been on the majority of this time and I was connected to WiFi.

I flashed the BMS 3.4 kernel and I would like to go back to the cm kernel. Where can I find it to flash instead of wiping and flashing the ROM again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbear6708:
Idk...but I don't think signal has anything to do with the ROM. AFAIK Samsung changes how the signal is reported to make it seem like signal is better with them. Aosp reports what it actually is.

---------- Post added at 09:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:08 AM ----------

If BMS uses rom ramdisc just dirty flash. The / system is wiped automatic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kinnerful:
What type of recovery did you guys use to flash build 2? I used latest cwm and the rom is laggy as hell... I flashed builds 1 and 1.5 (can't recall the recovery used though) before and they were fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
You don't have to wipe, just dirty the rom again. All your settings will stay intact including dpi.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Latest TWRP worked fine for me. No lag since install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeGuyDude:
That would be an adequate explanation... except it doesn't explain why on TW ROMs the phone will actually HAVE signal in some areas that AOSP won't. Not as in dB reporting or bars on the status bar, but being able to open up a browser and connect to a webpage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I had no issues using CWM to flash build 2; in any event, I don't know how/why a recovery would have anything to do with lag on a rom. You might want to try it again. Are you dirty flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wishx:
Random Reboots on 4.3 build 2

I wiped and installed 4.3 build 1 and used it until build 2 came out, then dirty flashed it over build 1. Since then, I've been having random reboots. I can't pin down what's causing it or notice any similarities. Once I was using Facebook, a couple of other times I was using CarHome Ultra which uses both GPS and Bluetooth. It seems to be happening several times a day. This is the first time I've had random reboots with Slim Bean no matter what build I've been on. Has anyone else experienced this? Suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kinnerful:
No, I had a clean flash. I wiped data/cache/dalvik/system as usual and tried different kernels (stock/bms) to no avail...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jlokos:
I'm not sure why you would have any lag. My only other suggestion would be to DL the rom again. It is possible you had a bad DL. I have had no lag on my phone. I'm using LK 8.4.4 exp1 on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
Anyone have an answer as to why media server was number one on the list of things eating up my battery?

I tried dirty flashing the ROM and BMS kernel remained for some reason.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Primary suggestion is to do a full wipe. There were significant changes from build 1 to stable build 2 based on the changelog. Wipe data and format system then flash stable build 2. Post back later on with your results.

Sounds like the rom was scanning your internal or external storage for files. By default, this is enabled in Settings/Advanced Settings. You could change that setting, reboot, full charge, then see what happens. I haven't seen that media drain first hand but I've seen others with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Clean flash here, Build 2 with CWM, and although I don't use bluetooth or MHL, I must say this thing runs so good and smooth, It's almost boring... That's how good my experience has been with Build 2. But I'd been having pretty good experiences with most of the weeklies too. Nothing to complain about that's for sure. I even flashed other rom's out of boredom.

Thanks to everyone who made this possible.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wishx:
What would your secondary suggestion be? I'm interested to know what would cause the phone to lock and reboot on it's own. Is it the way something is accessing GPS or bluetooth? Bad app? Wiping gets me a fresh install, but it doesn't diagnose the issue to potentially help others.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
You most likely have some kind of corruption on your external sdcard. I had a picture or video a while back that caused it to scan non stop. I just deleted it (it was showing as a blank entry in gallery) and rebooted.

Some folks also move all data off the card and format it. Reboot and it's back to working order.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Second suggestion would be to post a logcat after a reboot then attach that file via Pastebin for Nicklovell23 to read. But without doing a full wipe there's no reason for anyone to read that logcat unless these issues are replicated with a clean flash. It could be any number of things, apps that use GPS, your installed user apps, or anyone one of the many commits included between releases. Full wipe is recommended my friend for stable builds especially.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I am having similar issues with my car with build 2 although it isn't consistent. First time it wouldn't connect, next time it did, last couple of times, it says 1) connection not possible and 2) unable to connect right before it connects. ??

When I get some time I'll try to get a logcat when it occurs - - but lately I have been in a hurry to get to work and haven't messed with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
ROM ran like an absolute joy today on my brewery trip. The lack of lock screen lag is almost heavenly. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
I can't control the volume during a call, its killing my ear. Anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Juice3250:
Yes, my in call volume is super loud as well. I just have to shift the position of the ear piece to my ear. Even at the lowest setting, it's like a speaker phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
On Stable build 2 clean install here. Is anyone getting a weird animation when backing out of a system app's 2nd or 3rd layer?

- For example if I open the messaging app, then a thread, then press back the animation hangs for a split second (not a smooth transition) . I've tried reducing animation scale in developer options (I usually set it at .5) and the animation still hangs all the way down to using .25. Disabling HW Overlays fixes the issue, but that's not really a fix... And this issue has not been present until stable build 2.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbear6708:
Stable 2 is great so far. 2 questions though. Does this ROM support mhl mirroring to TV... couldn't get my screen to show on the TV. Also when connected to Ford sync even though volume is up notifications don't ring as if it's trying to play through the BT... any ideas?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] d1ez3:
yeah I'm going to have to go back to 1.9 or try a new rom until the next weekly, for some reason phone calls are very bad over normal ear speaker, bluetooth I can barely hear the caller, and headphones they say they hear feedback.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] flyestAC:
My volume is fine and controllable.

---------- Post added at 12:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Yes and I don't like it lol. I think it might be a new animation in 4.3 as I've seen discussion of it in other threads. I've disabled HW overlays too but it seems to become reenabled after a while.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Yes I noticed this too but wasn't sure if it was my eyes playing tricks on me. Not a huge issue but I didn't see this in any other 4.3 build. Disabling HW Overlays also fixes it for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
Agreed... This issue is NOT present that I've seen on any other 4.3.1 build and was also not present in the 1.9 weekly. Also just had a hot reboot happen when opening the play store. Hmmmmmm. Hope a weekly hits next week that squashes these bugs! Other than that build 2 has been great! Thanks Slim team! :thumbup:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
I am getting the WiFi issues as well on Build 1. I don't know if everybody is having the issue or select few. I went back to 4.2.2 and that's what I'm running ATM. I'm waiting for 4.4 KitKat to drop.

I get connected to the WiFi, then leave the house, it goes to 4G automatically, I come back home and it does not want to connect back to the WiFi and I am getting the aforementioned "Failed to connect to network" error.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sixstringedmatt:
Build 2 actually solved this for me!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
I guess I'll be flashing that tonight!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Build 2 seems slower to me. Going back to 1.9 once I get the kernel files I need.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Kernel files?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
I noticed this too, anyone else? Thought maybe it had to do with the new playstore, except on my wife's att sg3 its fine in build 2 so must be specific to our build? Not sure if that helps track down the bug nick.

Edit : just figured out it's only the gingerbread icon with real dark on. Off its fine so something to do with real dark slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Still having the same WiFi issues. Once disconnected, it doesn't connect back.

EDIT: Changed the region to USA, rebooted and performed the same test. Had WiFi on, left the house waited to disconnect, came back, got connected. Hope this fixes it!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Just a little kernel I'm test running that I made from coding from scratch, kernel.org, CAF, etc. It's a test run so it's gonna have lots of files that I'm gonna have to fix like hell before I can start liking it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Stolly08:
Everything seems to be running fine on the new stable ....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Any tips for balanced battery/performance? Stock kernel governor/scheduler settings? Anybody tried Build 2 with other kernels?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] meandg5:
I had to go back to 1.9 build 1. Slow as hell, force closes? 1.9 is running fine?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
I like DKP - Freelunch / sio

The previous slim stock kernal offered asswax, but not on build 2. That with row was as good as any custom kernal I ran.

Asswax / row on dkp is not as good for me as the same combo on slim1.9 stock kernal.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Are you running dkp with Build 2 right now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Ahh, gotcha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
I'm running dkp. Freelunch / sio

Slim Build 2

Runs great
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] :
While battery life is better and performance is the same, my iBolt car dock app seems to be crashing the phone each morning I use it where 1.9 did not. I blame the CM kernel but of course cannot be sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
Tried to send an MMS and got FC... Where do I check the settings for MMS?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Hey all, idk how many of you actually use Hangouts (I don't) but the latest Kit Kat apk for Hangouts which includes sms is out. It seems to work fine as I've sent a few texts already with it. Has a lot of emojis included too. Think I'm now a Hangouts convert lol

Edit: before anyone asks, I have not sent an mms however there's an option for it in the app now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
Beautiful ROM, but I can't believe that exfat is still not supported! Come on Slim Team, everyone has managed to bake their roms with exfat support!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Did you happen to try any of the other leaked apps from the N5 dump?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Lol I just replied to your Q/A thread. I've since installed Google Keyboard and its not bad. I'm a Swiftkey user primarily.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Kit Kat 4.4 should be available for AOSP. What does that mean for us? I jumped ship from TW right after AOSP got 4.3 so im not familiar with the AOSP updates.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
The Slim Roms website homepage has been keeping us updated on their plans each week. Essentially, stable build 2 is the last build until a proper SlimKat gets pushed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Can't wait. Build 2 is running so great im in no rush.... Guess we shouldve just PM'd each other Slim lol. Android fiends!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thekendog:
This is my first slim ROM. Flashed it this morning. Damn I like it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OMG_VTEC:
is there a way to turn off the new version nag that pops up when data is connected? like permanently? i have the never check for updates ticked but it still gives me a notification
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] wizzardeel:
pretty sure you can remove the updater apk from /system
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
I'm sorry I'm like 6 pages back, trying to catch up, but someone had asked about going back to stock kernel. I'm throwing this out for everyone;

Install flashify from the playstore, then extract the boot.img from the ROM and use flashify to install it. Its a great app, you can flash boot.img files, recovery.img and zip files.

I'm waiting for Android Milky Way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That's really cool! I took a screenshot to keep that info somewhere safe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
It really is a cool app. I use cwm touch and the latests, on ROM manager site, are recovery.img files so it comes in handy.

I'm waiting for Android Milky Way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shonalex:
Is it the kernel that's causing the problems with stable build 2? I have to disable HW overlays and I'm getting some data issues. Didn't have any problems with 1.9 weekly. In fact I haven't had any problems with any of the weeklies. This stable build is the most problematic so far. Love the work that's been done so far. Slim is by far the best. Thanks for all your work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Doubt it's a kernel thing, I'm on BMS and I have the same issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] WettbackMartyr:
I second this opinion... I tried it with lean kernel and can report the same issues (lag, animation stickiness, general slowness compared to 1.9 and previous weeklies, intermittent data drop out) on build 2. I too feel this is the most problematic build of Slim 4.3 that I have run. Weeklies were flawless for me right out of the box.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Very strange guys. Im running smooth as silk over here. Im on stock kernel, havent tried lean yet. The only lag I ever had on 4.3 roms was the lock screen and that is gone in Build 2. Just throwing this out there but are any of you with issues using TWRP? Maybe try CWM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shonalex:
Yes, I did it with TWRP, not sure it would make a difference. I'm just going to wait for this next weekly. Anyone know of they are going to drop a weekly or of the are just working on kk now? Either way is good for me. Love slim. If they don't drop a weekly I'll just go to 1.9 build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bjazz69:
Does anyone know if there are an issues with sound when using mhl I am not sure if it with 4.3 or the ROM I was using
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
You can read the SlimBean homepage on their site and see their plans.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Changelog says reverted to CM kernel, don't know exactly what that that means, thought it was always cm kernel, but could be the reason people are having issues with custom kernel...??

Just throwing it out there.

has anyone gotten DeadTrigger 2 to work on the latest build?

sent from a violated Vzw Galaxy s3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] samsgun357:
Gotcha, thanks. I had stopped running slim a few weeks back. I know that most nightly builds updated the kernel drivers around 10/24 and custom kernel builders took a few days to catch up.

I'm waiting for Android Milky Way
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Oh that's what that commit meant in the changelog? I knew CM had updated their graphics drivers and I was looking through the SB stable 2 changelog to see something along those lines. I noticed the "switched to cm kernel" commit but was unsure what that meant.

TWRP has problems installing 4.3 ROMs. Problems across the board. Use CWM on 4.3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kentedman:
What? I've got 3 different devices all using various 4.3 Roms. I flash nightlies/weeklies all the time with TWRP. No issues at all
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] david_hume:
Ummm... I installed all of my 4.3 ROMs using TWRP. Soooo, get on my level.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
Yeah, I've flashed various roms /builds of 4.3 on my phone using twrp with no issues. I can't even venture to guess why anyone would need to flash another recovery if the one they have works fine with other roms. Strangely anytime I've seen this assumption made on any phone I'm using the "offending" recovery but have no issue.

Sent from my Slim GS3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
It's pretty much the only recommendation left for those few folks who can't flash certain 4.3 roms off fresh downloads. There are a few users that can flash em fine but if they reboot anytime after the rom has booted up, it freezes at the splash screen or boot animation.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TokedUp:
Why are u taking it so personally? I'm offering a possible solution to some users problems. Its well known some issues arise when flashing 4.3 ROMs with TWRP.
