I think I did a backup I had of slim Kat.also tried to format my 64GB sd card last night on my phone and on my computer and neither worked so I put in a new 16GB card I had laying around I'll see if that lets me delete stuff

EDIT: yep my old sixty four gigabyte card must have been borked, this new 16GB deletes copies and paste and the md5 works just fine now.I could swear that I was able to download files to my sd card from browsers and apps.

Issue with phone not ringing

First, I love this ROM, it's speedy and rock solid on my Verizon Galaxy S3. The only issue I have is that if my bluetooth media audio is on, the phone only rings through bluetooth, not through the phone's speaker. This means I miss calls if my bluetooth headset is not in my ear.

Is there a way to get the phone to ring through the phone's speaker, regardless of the settings on my bluetooth headset? :confused:

Thanks for the help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes this is known. you can set vibrate when ring that will vibrate the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] 3278:
Last night I did a clean install of Slimkat Build 7 (stable). This morning I got three or four hours of battery life before the phone died, which is, you know, weird. I checked my battery stats, and Phone (of all things) is at nearly 50 percent. I've checked Google and XDA, both for Android in general and Slim in particular, but I haven't been able to find anyone else with the problem - though searching isn't helped by the runaway process being named "Phone," which is basically impossible to search an Android forum for. :)

Any thoughts? I'm really enjoying the ROM, and would love to stick with it, but obviously three hour battery life is something I want to fix ASAP. :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Pull a Text log using BetterBatteryStats app. Post it for someone to look at on its thread.

I suspect its that accursed telephony.internal.data-stall
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SotYPL:
Install SoundAbout and set Media Audio to Speaker. Only downside is that you need to change it every time you want to stream some music through bt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] android94301:
thanks, that works.!

Thanks! That works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Just in case anyone was wondering, I just tried the new 8.20 weekly and the camera cannot connect bug is still there if you switch from video (take video) and try to go back to photo. I assume there isn't a big push to fix bugs on this anymore right? Not a big deal since hopefully we get a taste of SlimLP soon, so back to 8.0 for now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I am testing a solution at this time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Awesome, you're the best!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tlogank:
I've clean flashed this ROM twice now, and still cannot get Wifi to turn on. Can anyone offer some suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Slim lollipop? Omg tell me more!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Flowah:
I tried the new Chromecast app with screencasting built in and it didn't work. It connects to the chromecast, the TV goes black, and then it "disconnects" and the regular Chromecast homescreen comes up on the TV.

I'm on build 8.14, Weekly 7942.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Any ETA on when we might see the first slimpop build?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
After I get Camera Working. :(

I do need a Verizon user who can test an Alpha build or two. PM me if you are willing. Mind you, better expect issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
You mean fully working without it force closing after taking one picture or fixing it so it can take pictures whenever plus video working?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
The Latter of course. To be honest, it never FC'd on me. I can take pictures all I want.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Weekly - Dialer doesn't like conf call numbers (using , for 2-sec pauses) and extensions. Guessing it's a problem in the AOSP code as it's the same on CM and Gummy. The 7.9 exp build for DU does work though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droid316:
Excited for the slimpop build yet to be unveiled.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lZnGl:
Hey guys, its been a while since ive updated to escape the bigger known issues like camera as of late. I currently have my phone flashed to the 7.8 weekly but was wondering if there were any other equally stable builds from then and now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Also moved back to 7.8 Weekly. Noticed there no Haptic Feedback strength adjustment options =(

Maybe I'll try 7 Stable release or a different Kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Nope. 7.8 also forgets media files assigned to ringtones/notifications. Going to try the new 9.0 Official then 7.0.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Camera doesn't fully work on 9.0 fyi. For me, last fully working build was 8.0
[Verizon 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.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'm glad you posted this cuz your alpha. 91 is running extremely well and I'm having trouble figuring out how to tell you its just awesome compared to the other alpha. I even have navbar with the "qemu.hw.mainkeys" build.prop edit. I definitely encourage others to try this release out (if you're building off of that one Perseus) cuz GPS, calls, sms all work and it's smooth. Expanded base of users should help with bug finding. I have taken like 2 photos on this latest build and it works fine I guess, haven't tried video yet. I easily notice the improvements between your alpha releases.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You *could* try the Unofficial KT747 I have posted in that thread if vibration is important to you. ;)

Make sure the media is on internal SD Card. Its Kitkat thing IMHO.

Yeah Loooooooong story. Use Open Camera.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Thanks Perseus, I'll go looking for that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
For a Daily, what would you recommend? Still biding my time until the Nexus 6 gets released on VZW.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Stable 9.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Use the 8.x gapps or is there 9.x apps?

Also, still looking for the unofficial KT747 for the S3 vzw that you posted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Stable 9 is running great. Just Haptic Feedback strength adjustment (I'll try the Unofficial KT747 soon) and the incoming call volume control needing to vol UP before being able to vol down.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vandizzam:
Can someone give me a suggestion for an overclockable kernel for the rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
BMS all the way best kernel I have found. He has a google group and a topic over in development for it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Also has the dialer issue where it doesn't pass 2-sec pause tones and additional numbers (ie conf calls), same as it was in 8 and many other AOSP ROMs. Gummy didn't have the issue with the dialer, but does with the Volume.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Ahem. Erm.. I am not just on Rom Threads you know. Look for certain kernel I brought back to life.

Not sure. Will look. Got LP issues to deal with as well. Did you try alternate dialer ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Yes, it does the same thing with the Hangouts Dialer to. It doesn't tone out the numbers ie 888-xxx-xxx , , 5556666#

You hear a VERY quick set of beeps and the call hangs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] monkeyhihi:
Hey, a weird issue I've noticed with SlimKat (9.0 stable) on my phone. While I'm making a phone call, if I hold my phone up to my ear, the screen automatically shuts off so I dont press any buttons, right? Well, if I pull the phone away from my ear to try and dial/hang up/look something up/etc. while still in the phone call the screen remains black and doesn't respond to any input. Pressing the power button does nothing, and only very rarely have I gotten the home button to work as a means to get the screen to turn back on. Any idea what might be causing this issue and how I can fix it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] raitchison:
Poor battery life on Stable 9

Hey guys I'm reaching out for some help here. I put Stable 9 on my wife's phone last weekend. She has been reporting terrible battery life (sub 1 day) and she's getting really frustrated. When she was on stock (4.1) she consistently would get 2 days (sometimes 3) on a battery.

I've tried changing the CPU governor to powersave but the phone was completely unusable (all but frozen) due to lag.

She's an extremely light user, only has a small number of apps, she actually has less apps now than she did when she was on the stock ROM.

If I can't solve this I'll have to restore her phone to stock.

Thanks for any advice.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
If you install Wakelock Detector from the play store or BetterBatteryStats from XDA, you might be able to see over a few days what is eating up your battery or if it is not sleeping. I have not flashed stable 9 so I have no comment on its performance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Did you try the most obvious changes ?

Turn off Location Service ?

Turn off Scanning always available in Settings > Wireless > Advanced

Set "Keep WiFi On During sleep" to Never or "Only when plugged in"

Need to reboot after above changes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] talk2nate:
Hey guys.. I haven't been running the ROM even 24 hours yet. But I was wondering what other kernels have had good results on this ROM? I'm still gonna use the stock one a few days first. But just wanted some feedback :) thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macman159:
Is there a zip that is needed so that the s3 can be used as a gsm device? I have a d2gsm_rilblobs file from mastamoons unofficial cyanogenmod thread. Can I use that file on here or does it not have to be done?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I do believe, with Slim Release, you should be able to use on GSM Network, provided you have the right SIM and APNs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macman159:
I am in india on vodafone network and before I used cyanogenmod 11 m12 on the network without the file I flashed and the phone connected to the network, but it would not receive any phone calls. That is why I flashed the lib file and all went well. I also wanted to know what is the best recovery to use to flash slimkat? I have twrp 6.8.0.1 I believe. Should I upgrade or downgrade to a lower better release?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That release of TWRP is just fine. You may upgrade if you wish. But that's your choice. Slim does not require any specific version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macman159:
One more question. I used to flash older Slimrom roms and it used to take away my radio or something as I had to reset the whole phone to get the signal bars back. I wanted to know if there are any ongoing issues right now on 9.0. I also wanted to ask how can I back-up the efs just in case it happens again. I know it is not the rom, but I think my phone is selective in what it wants to run. I just don't want to reset the phone in india as the internet speeds are slow to start lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
If you need to backup, please review Backup Your EFS Partition with Easy to Use App

Otherwise, you can take a Nandroid as well as Titanium backup, do a factory reset in the recovery, then flash Slim. Check to see if you get bars. If you do, restore Titanium Backup of user APPS ONLY. If you don't get bars, Check that you have correct APN. Otherwise go back to Nandroid and post here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] macman159:
So I flashed the ROM and the same thing happened like the Cyanogenmod ROM. The thing that happens is that the phone can make calls and connect to the internet perfectly, but the phone can't receive calls. I flashed the file I said above and the phone started to receive calls as soon as I called the phone from another one. Do you want me to post the file so you can forward it to the OP? (All credit to the file goes to mastamoon and/or whoever made it).

Please post me a link to Masta's Discssion on this topic.

Has anyone else ran into this issue ? Sounds like this is a VZW only issue ?

Weak Vibration Intensity

My GS3's vibration intensity is too weak to feel. I was unable to adjust the intensity in "Personalization setting", then "Advanced settings", then "Haptic" and "Vibration strength" was dimmed down. How can I find a way to adjust the vibration strength. I had tried to use "Kernel Tweaker" app but it won't work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Have you tried Trickster Mod App ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Sportster007:
No. I could not find any vibration intensity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You are then welcome to see the Kernel in my Signature.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Having trouble with Superuser. It doesn't appear to be in the rom and when I try to install it using the normal method it fails and the cwm/twrp method doesn't do anything. When I reboot to recovery it hangs when trying to install and I have to reboot again.

Clean installed and official slimkat gapps. Everything else seems fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
I think it comes not activated. You have to go into developer options and enable it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pyrite123:
Thanks! Not used to having to do that. First time using SlimKat. I think I goofed when trying to install SuperSU and Busybox instead of enabling the built in Superuser. Now I get endless toast notifications "Superuser granted to Busybox Free" and battery drain. I had to uninstall Busybox and when I reinstalled it I still get the same problem. If I disable logging and superuser notifications I still get battery drain caused by System/Busybox...

I'm about to reflash everything. Wondered if anyone had a tidbit of info on the matter. Do I need Busybox with Slimkat?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shakes The AssClown:
I've always just used the built in root. Never added anything. Just had to enable it from the developer options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I can't remember if the setting is in slim but if you say so. If it's not working maybe there's something in build prop or another file that can be edited. You might try device control in the play store. The vibration setting is in the second tab down I believe. Called device I think. It's a nice app. And free

edit: Name of app is device control, or you can use kt kernel's ktweaker which also has a setting to adjust vibration intensity
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
+1

He's right. You do a clean flash then Enable Root in Developer Options. I'd not think you need BusyBox. Is there any reason why you need it ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] lvgdgts:
Has anyone using this ROM gotten a Gear 2 to connect? I just got mine yesterday and it hangs when trying to connect. All the threads I find on this issue are old and I'm hoping someone has had luck.

I lost GPS completely about a week into running beta 2. Had to restore a Nandroid with working GPS and it's been good. Now on beta 3 and aside from a couple camera hiccups it's been good.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atrizzain:
It's always advisable to use the latest baseband with AOSP. VRBMF1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] sbattosai:
I installed the rom yesterday night and everything looked pretty good but my 64 gb ExFat SD card wasn't recognized. Then I flashed 2 kernels supposed to have ExFat support but I still couldn't see my card. Is it possible that the rom isn't exfat compatible? I tried everything for hours but couldn't manage to see my card. And my card wasn't broken because twrp was seeing it just fine... Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
Only touchwiz has native exfat support. There are other methods, but none I would consider viable. Your best bet is to format the card to fat32. You don't be able to transfer single files bigger than 4g though, but other than that it'll work great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Dearborn1977:
I

It used to be that only TouchWiz had native exFAT support however Samsung just made the source public. There is a BMS test build with exFAT support. Check the BMS thread on 8/17; Gideon linked to it in a post.

Edit: it may be possible that the rom also needs to support exFAT, and afaik, no CM-based ROMs do. So you might be sol anyhow :/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Atrizzain:
+1 that's what I did. I have the SDXC SanDisk 64 gb card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] misterx51:
running build 2 for about a week now w/ stock kernel.

very smooth, excellent battery life - 2%/hr when left alone, getting about 18hrs with 2 hrs on screen time (mostly texts & checking scores). might be norm for some of u might never gotten this much battery life, even with other kernels like dkp.

Still working well!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] kenbrownstone:
Did u flash the su file in the op?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SomeGuyDude:
So, a few observations.

1) Supposedly this is smoother than 4.2.2, but to me it's a little more jittery and laggy, especially when coming out of sleep.

2) The new Bluetooth will, in fact, send metadata information from streaming services to car dash units, meaning if you're playing music off Rdio your radio will show artist/album/track. AWESOME.

3) I get a few jolts and sputters when playing over BT with the screen off (related to point 1).

4) Dark Slim is the tits.

5) It's minor, but I'm really not a fan of the slim lockscreen button. Any way to scrap that?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] thefatalepic:
I thought it was just me, but one of the few things that steers me away from this ROM is the ugly lockscreen handle, and the stock wallpaper.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] annoyingduck:
There are stock flashable lockscreen handles on the slim site under add-ons/themes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ddurandSGS3:
two extremely easy things to change steer you away?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] PsiPhiDan:
The stock wallpaper steered you away partially?? Wow! So you normally stick with stock wallpaper...? I don't think I ever have once.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tvl76:
I confess, one reason I am sticking with this ROM is due to the cool lock screen handle.

I find myself turning my phone off and on, just to see it.

Oh and the ROM happens to be incredible too.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] krwdre:
Sorry for being such a noob on this, but how do I change it so that my app icons aren't so small? Not just that but the whole resolution of the phone after a fresh flash looks smaller to me. Thank you in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] superblox02:
Hey all!

Just wondering, is this ROM compatible with SafeStrap dual booting? I installed the d2lte stock from slimroms.net and it has a wifi bug. Does this one have the same bug?

Edit: Nvm, just realized the download is said version :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmbray:
Camera has the constant cannot connect to camera error. If you don't reboot after the error the phone will get warm and it will eat the battery in a couple hours. I wouldn't call it stable but idk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vmbray:
Well hmm prior to posting that camera was fubar I had loaded open camera, and done the camera fix in the store. None of that seemed to work but after a couple reboots I can't get the camera to mess up. Open camera is about 10x faster than stock camera too so that's a nice bonus.

Its a good possibility because the official last verizon version of Android on the S3 was 4.4.2. It never updated beyond that

yeah i had to use the d2lte variant since I didn't see the d2vzw past 4.4.2.

Does anyone know how to get the screen cast to work? mine just says "connecting"........ "disconnecting".. (all chromecast supported apps work)

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
well my wife was having issues with CM12.1 having "camera connection issues", so decided to have her go back to 4.4.4 ... installed slimkat last night.. she has been running it today and her battery is already down to 14%... i looked at the history, and google play services dominates at 67% ?

there a fix for this?

thanks.!
