Yes Please. Post a Bug Report. Instead of restoring your Nanadroid, do the following.

1. Take a new Nandroid so you can go back to normal when done.

2. Do a Factory Reset, Format Data Partition, Dalvik and Cache. If on Philz/CWM use Clean Install option.

3. Flash just 7.9 and Gapps. Nothing Else. Positively nothing else.

Reboot and log in to your Google Account. MAKE SURE NOT TO RESTORE a single thing. Including any Apps from Play Store. Do the Test and get a log if you have a issue. If you restore anything or install an app then it will pollute the LogCat Results and I will have to spend more time Deciphering the issue.

I'll be busy most of the day, but tonight I should have time.

One question why would being signed in to Google help? The reason I ask is because yesterday in my testing I flashed the ROM gaps then paired it to my car and called My S3. Then if it did not work I starred over while waking back to my laptop and the edit that post as the next build installed/booted. O and I rebooted after install before I started testing.

Starting clean I understand.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zman519:
inViu GPS-details magnetic compass dose work. So it's like the ROM has somethings working with the magnetometer but not 100% and some Apps get the sensor data differently.

I should get logs on the apps to. After I log the call problems. Dam so much to do to day, and I just want to play ROM bug reporting.

No particular Reason. Just thought that will be safe way to exit out of the Init wizard with your contacts. You can skip that one if you feel like it.

Be kind and link me to the App please ? Or at least give me the app's complete name on the Play Store.

Please note, right now, the other issue previously reported of not being able to install or update apps is still haunting me and taking a lot of my time. I can only get to this one after that.

Also please do note, recently CM made a change to get rid of ALL MODULES from the Kernel RamDisk (Slim Weekly 7.6 and future). So, these app might just might have to update as the Kernel communicates with the hardware is drastically Altered.

Quick 101 for you. Bit oversimplified but in the following image, the Red portion just went out the window.

That I hope gives you an idea on why there's an impact on apps that access hardware. I am not sure if that is the only reason for your problem. But that's best I can do for now. You may want to try Weekly 7.4 if the app works. If it does there but breaks on 7.6, then you have the answer.

A lot of the time, the deva just use cm default kernel. Slim has minor changes in their kernel to make things stable but people wanting to explore other options wouldn't upset the dev...they're still using the Slim ROM. :p
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Samurai7314:
The big thing, for me at least, is that different kernels have different schedulers and governors. Some give you more options than others as well. Its really all just preference of how you want your device to act.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] WhiteiceDMSTech:
I am not saying F you at all to anyone. Unfortunately I am having issues with this rom with random reboots, so it has been suggested to try a different kernel since my phone is having this issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] halodos:
Great build, as usual, but one thing that I have noticed across all betas (for me at least) -

the initial photo backup from google+ always hangs on the last 2-3 photos, and causes a pretty bad wakelock and attempted upload. i canceled it from the google+ autobackup settings page. phone noticeably cooled down after that :D

anyone else notice this or is this only happening to me? the only thing i can suspect are corrupt photos, but it seems unlikely.

I still can't get gmail to work, it's rather irritating. I can interact with notifications, which is good for now, but I can't open the application without it crashing.

I have uninstalled, wiped cache/dalivk, reinstalled, and nothing.

Also, I was wondering if anyone here uses this with RingPlus? I'm having a bit of a time getting it to work. I have data, but only 3G, so I'd like to get 4G asap. Let me know the APN's I need if you know them! (I've tried the ting apn, and the ringplus apn, no dice on either. I'm going to try a few more things, but otherwise I'm lost)

Are you using the gmail that came with GAPS?

I just had a problem with attaching a file in gmail. I didn't have a lot of time to mess around testing and troubleshooting. So I used TB to wipe gmail data then I used SLIMSIZER to delete gmail.apk rebooted and installed it from play store. Now its working fine so far.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
The other day I installed SlimKat 7.0 stable to my wife's Galaxy S3 (AT&T) and liked it. I decided today to install it to my Galaxy S3 (Sprint). I have been running stock Android 4.4.2. I installed these two files from TWRP 2.8.0.1:

Slim-d2lte-4.4.4.build.7.0-OFFICIAL-5979.zip

Slim_mini_gapps.4.4.4.build.7.x-187.zip

Both installs succeeded, but it hangs on boot up with the blinking SlimKat logo. I then tried flashing the same ROM via adb sideload and that succeeded, but again it hangs on boot up. I can't imagine what went wrong. I would appreciate any advice on what to do next. Thanks.

Update: read online to

go back to recovery

Wipe/Data Format

Wipe cache

That did it. It now boots fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Coming from Stock, you need to do factory reset in TWRP before flashing Slim. Wipe Cache and Dalvik when done.

My wife has the AT&T variant and I have the Sprint variant. We're both running SlimKat stable 7.0 at the moment. We both set texdroider_dpi to 320 (ie, stock), but the font size is different ie, larger on the AT&T variant. Any ideas what's going on?

Edit: I figured out the font size issue. Under Settings/Display the AT&T was set to large font whereas the Sprint was set to Normal.

Weekly 8.2 bug

Sadly, I'm having a major issue with weekly 8.2 (clean install) - the phone app won't hang-up. This happens immediately after boot when it starts calling to activate (which hasn't happened in recent builds; you could skip it right away) and the red hangup button doesn't work. I had to wait for the call to end itself. I then went through the set-up process and tried to place a call myself with the same result. I wiped and re-installed twice and downloaded the rom a second time to see if maybe the first one was bad - same result each time. I'm attaching the bug report.

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyddr:

i'm back on 8.0 and its fine for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kjjm:
Same here - 8.0 phone app is fine, hangs up and rings. The only reason I'm still on 7.2.1 is the incoming BT call issue. I was hoping that all would be well in 8.2. Hopefully next week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] amiblindyet:
I can't even find 7.2.1 now. Fingers crossed on 8.2
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] nimaim:
GPS was no go for me on 8.2. Even tried uninstalling/reinstalling Maps and that didn't fix it. Kept saying "Waiting for location..." and eventually gives up. Maybe I flashed it in some weird state, I don't know, but flashed back to 8.0 and it's working just fine again. Again, I did do a dirty flash so maybe something was lingering from before and this is only happening to me.

Sorry, should have got some logs and/or investigated the problem further but I assumed it was just me screwing something up.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I have been having the same issue while using stable 7. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. I also noticed that at times it will not expand on results from Wikipedia or definitions and such. Image search also doesn't work right. It will only show the first 7 or so rows of images (just grey boxes below that) and doesn't respond when I tap on an image.

It worked fine when I was on the 6 weeklies. I have been meaning to flash 7.2.1 as it seems that it was the last stable weekly, but haven't gotten around to it yet. As soon as I do I bet a stable 8 will drop ;)

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

It appears that 7.2.1 is no longer on the download page. No 7.x GAPPs posted either. Is there someplace they archive weeklies and GAPPs? If not does anyone have a copy of 7.2.1 and it's GAPPs zip available?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
I did not think about installing one of the weeklies. Maybe I'll try the latest 8.x weekly as of this writing and report back. Also my xtreme alarm app, when going off only rings a few times and stops by itself. I've had this app for years in diff roms and its worked fine so I do think it's the ROM. There are little other things that I can't think of.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] funkbuqet:
I think all of the weeklies since 7.6 have been a bit wonky. I wanted to install 7.2.1 because from what I have read it was very stable. 7.4 is the oldest currently available from the download site (no GAPPs for it though).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] zen_phones:
Wait maybe im running the wrong version of gapps. I downloaded from the links from the slimota section in settings from an older slimbean (forget what version).
