Idk besides that. I do find it weird that, on my laptop, I can view the desktop Play Store listing yet when I click the apps by EA Mobile link, only the FreePlay LG app displays and not the FreePlay game itself.

Edit: Did you follow my steps exactly as I wrote them? I just switched from 280 to 320 DPI and I see the "Sims Freeplay" app now whereas it would not show in Play Store before on my phone.

---------- Post added at 02:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

BMS, LeanKernel 9.7, KT747 so long as each kernel is updated as recently as June 1st.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
Clean installed later weekly and the phone powered off charging animation is broken. Looks like a rectangle blur.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] majixx11:
Sorry for the repeat question. Your instructions worked great! I set it to 280, FC'd playstore then wiped data and rebooted and I was able to see it. I do like the 245 DPI however so I will probably set it back and then repeat this to check for updates once in awhile. Thank you for the information! At first I did not think it could be a DPI issue because I have been on slim for the past 10 months. So I have originally downloaded the app and an update or 2 on slim. All of a sudden it disappeared. Thanks again!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SwaySwayJoy:
With BMS Kernel the lastest build in May, also it offers 2 different versions based on ROMS that run Linux 3.0y or Linux 3.4 (I'm not really sure what SlimKat runs on). Does BMS have any recent builds aside from May?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GideonX:
Yes, quite a few with the latest commits required. There's one out today.

All test builds are located here - https://plus.google.com/u/0/communities/105811573086663999452
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
No problem! :good::victory::cool:

Check out GideonX's post for more specific BMS info. He updates once his kernels clear beta stage. Every AOSP KitKat rom is using the Linux 3.4 kernel. He doesn't post his betas on xda.

Edit: ninja'd by the man himself! haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SwaySwayJoy:
Understood! Thanks!

Thanks for the post link!

Also thanks Gideon for the information and Post regarding kernels it was really useful!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] chewie8han:
I'm not sure why, but mine did that a while ago. I don't have any issues with it, so I haven't bothered to fix it. However if someone has fixed it, it would be nice to know how charged my phone is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
I wonder if the next weekly build will be 4.4.3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Can you go from Slim version 4.2.X directly to Slim 4.4.2 without doing anything other than a full wipe/clean flash?

Or do you have to odin a newer stock ROM first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Depends on your Bootloader. If you have a 4.2 Bootloader then you should be good to go. Do note some apps react erratically to 4.4 Kitkat so expect that. Also if you had manually made any apps to be System apps, then they'd be gone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
Clean flash is all you ever need when switching between any AOSP bases.

I'd stay far away from ODIN unless you are trying to return to stock. The newest stock ROMs will overwrite your insecure bootloader with a nice locked up one as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Thanks guys, I just needed to make sure the D2LTE didn't have anything weird about it before I updated my friends phone. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
If you are currently running AOSP on d2vzw, there is only one bootloader you can be on. The most recent OTAs (4.3) will overwrite the leaked insecure bootloader with a KNOX enabled secure one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I wasn't sure what Pre 4.3 Bootloader had on there or was using a 4.2 Stock Mod Rom. Hence the clarification.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
A couple more questions....

1) Does the Slim kernel support Faux sound mods?

2) Is it possible to "slipstream" APK's into the ROM zip? I know I can just open the zip in 7zip and then drag & drop APK's into the ROM zip's /data/app folder. But will the apps work properly or do I need to do some permissions changing or something else first?

Trying to update my friend's ROM remotely is a PITA. Gotta get everything prepped so I can walk him through as few steps as possible via email. :eek:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Don't know about Faux. But I think it does. I never used any Sound Mods mind you.

The slip stream will work the way you described. Have him wipe Dalvik and Cache without fail after the flash. Otherwise expect one hell of FCs till you wipe.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Thanks!

I don't know what you mean by "without fail" though? Is that an option or are you just talking about doing a normal wipe of dalvik & cache?

We use TWRP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Just reminding you of a normal Wipe of Dalvik & Cache. Please do so to avoid FCs.

EDIT - 5.8 is coming with 4.4.3.

Slimkat Weekly Release 5.8 is out.

Rom - Here

Gapps Updated - Here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tedkord:
Downloading Slim 5.8 (4.4.3) right now! Along with the new gapps package.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
Installed 5.8 and am having issues getting to certain HTTPS sites with Standard browser and other browsers. Occasionally it just fails to open, sometimes it closes the browser and sometimes I get "net::ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR".

Not sure if it is related to 5.8 or something else at this point, but wanted to mention it since that was what had changed.

UPDATE: One of the browsers was just updated and it is working properly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Have you tried a different browser ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
5.8 gives me Google Calendar storage has stopped. Had to install Google Calendar.... Which was previously installed.

What kernels work with 5.8?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I presume you had done Clean Install. To my knowledge, BMS has released a compatible kernel. I am not sure but saw one of [MENTION=2645480]GideonX[/MENTION] Posts on C-Rom threads.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
Yes clean install of 5.8 and 5.8 AIO Gapps. Seems like Calendar disappeared. Everything seems OK now after installing Calender from Play store
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Just flashed myself after factory Reset. Went fine though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
BMS 060814 does. Check the Google + community for the link.

---------- Post added at 02:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 PM ----------

Interestingly, just after I posted that, one of the browsers I use had an update. I applied that and it began working.

Other two are having issues with signing in to Google (thru the browser). I know I could use the apps, but don't in some instances.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] CZ Eddie:
Does 4.4.3 have all the same customized options the latest 4.4.2 weekly had? Or is it a fresh start and all options will be added over the next several weeklies?

Sounds like the first 4.4.3 release has some growing pains but I'm sure Slim will straighten those out right away. :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Nothing missing from last week as far as I can tell. Only key difference that I've seen is Settings/Mobile Networks/Preferred Network Type has a new option layout now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Funnily enough, on that topic of Network Mode, my APN was set to MetroPCS (I have T-Mo Variant). That never happened to prior releases.

There is absolutely no change to Kernel by Google this time. 4.4.2 KT Kernel works just fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
Lean Kernel 9.7 works with 5.8 build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
That APN switch does sound weird. I take it you switched yours back and have no issues with data?

That's great, I was going to flash KT kernel soon enough. I usually keep that or BMS installed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
Try a different USB cable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
For months now I've had where my phone only charges to 82% regardless of how long it's plugged in. I cleaned flashed this and still the same issue. Not a big deal but I see I'm not the only one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
This still occurs after Odin flashing VRBMF1 then rooting and unlocking again?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
I haven't done that. When I say clean, I just Format Data in TWRP and wipe the phone that way. I haven't used ODIN in a while and don't even know where to find the MF1 file anymore. Hahaha! I'm sure I have it saved in my CP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Although it's time consuming, restarting from Odin is the way to rule things out. Has this been occurring on other AOSP roms too?

Gotta make sure you have done extensive troubleshooting before I could just deal with an issue like that for so long. Even something as simple as wiping system and doing factory reset could help.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AdMire:
Edit: Thanks Snoop
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Check your PMs. Keeping the convo clear of SlimKat since this part will clog up Nick's thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
There is an odd little bug in the main Settings page in build 5.8. The Bluetooth switch is linked with the Location switch. Turn the BT switch on and the Location switch turns on. The BT can be on and show as off. Fortunately the BT service can be managed by long pressing and controlling it there.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Tried this. No problem for me switching. Bletooth is controlled by NFC.APK and Location is controlled by Settings APK and SystemUI APK
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Oh wow, I'm seeing this BUT I will fully disclose that I am running BMS kernel 6/8 so, for me, it could be due to this (I doubt it) until I try a fresh flash. If I turn on bluetooth in the system settings then scroll down, I do see location is activated. If I enable location, Bluetooth turns on. Turning either off turns both off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I take my previous statement back. This is indeed happening. I was using KT747 Kernel. So I clean flashed after a factory Reset. Wiped Dalvik+Cache for good measure. This is indeed the case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] nicklovell23:
I will look into this asap pretty weird..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] infsoul:
Photo sphere doesn't work or panorama or half sphere

SCH-S968C on 4.4.2 Slimkat weeklies
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Would appreciate big time if you could post if Slim already includes the Qualcomm optimized Dalvik ? Slim Bootloops even for the Qualcomm Optimized Dalvik for SlimKat.

I used Google Camera without Slim Compatibility fix. Photosphere worked just fine for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystique:
Is there a way (without 3rd party programs..) to change the max cpu speed?

Slim 4.4.3 build 5.8 weekly 4885

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Don't think there is. But then I use different Kernel.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
We good to update to 5.8 weekly yet? I know it had some problems but maybe those have been fixed?

---------- Post added at 10:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:01 AM ----------

I hate to ask but this is now the 2nd time in the last few days that this has happened. Nothing new installed, nothing updated nothing changed. I rebooted my phone and when it came up it said system ui has stopped. I hit ok and the pull down menu crashes and the ui tries to reload. The popup happens over and over again. If i let the phone sit long enough I can see that everything loads behind the error, my lock screen, apps etc. Heck i'm still getting emails. But as soon as I hit ok it crashes. As far as i can tell the only way i can get back into my phone is to wipe it.

I've wiped cache/dalvik, tried installing a custom kernel, tried dirty flashing the rom. No matter what I do it crashes. This was on a clean install of 5.6, happened last week on a clean install of the build before it. Getting tired of blasting away my phone each week.

Any ideas/information would be helpful.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please do a Factory Reset then try clean Flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Durhammer:
Is anyone on 5.6 having trouble with Google+ force closing when it's not active (usually when doing camera stuff), as well as auto-upload just completely not working? I shuold add that it is running as a user app, NOT as a system app.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
Does this kernel come with wake gesture compatibility?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] infsoul:

Is root enabled by default on the 6/11 release?

My cousin just flashed it but can't get root access to anything.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] deuce237bblock:
[MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION]

So using the dalvik patches have no effect on SlimKat?

P.S. Sorry about quoting an old post from a different thread.

Sent by me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Clean flash. Factory reset, wipe System, then flash.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Root is never enabled by default. You will have to do it every time, no matter the version.

Nope. Not working. There's even a Slim specific version of those libraries. That too does not work for our device. They SEEM to be only working on the Nexus Devices with Slim Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] AZNair:
Hey first off thanks devs love the 4.3.3 release everything is smooth & fast...except for this one issue...

Everytime I login to an app get a toast saying 'exchange services has stopped' which is strange never had this problem before. I did a full clean wipe beforehand & also froze a few system apps nothing big just g+, messaging, & dashclock. Anyone have an idea as to what may be wrong here?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Greetings Snoopy, You deserve some kind of award for being so helpful and patient with people in this and other threads across XDA. Really. You're an irreplaceable asset to XDA. I couldn't count how many times people have asked that question. But you with no smart remarks or "Search first man" just patiently post an answer..

Thanks man.

I've been lurking in the slim forums and Slim has always rocked my world. But since they removed the theming ability sometime ago, I've been on Nameless. Just can't get the battery life out of Nameless that I get out of Slim. Even before it's settled, battery has been great for me on slim. But then, my battery is getting old too. But apples to apples.. I can't beat slim for battery, and a great combo of options. I know themes will be back when they're ready.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:

Yes you can use that or the ones I linked above, slightly older 5.8 weekly Gapps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
Blue Tooth may be busted on 5.9. Reports of such on G+ and I am having no luck connecting to several BT devices.

Granted it was a dirty flash, but will wait to see if clean fixes it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] draexo:
Now I'm not sure what to do! Flash 5.9 or wait.??!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I wish I had waited. I have rolled back to 5.8.

Reports are showing even clean flashes are having isses with BT (only on the d2lte build).
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
I'm gonna assume that Bluetooth metadata is also not working then :P I guess that's a CM KitKat issue though from my understanding.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Having BT issues on the new build. Flashing back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Confirmed. Bluetooth is not able to recognize or able to connect to devices that were working fine on 5.8 It does not matter if you try to connect or Re-pair such devices. [MENTION=4408910]nicklovell23[/MENTION] I hope you are listening ?

On a different note, has anyone checked to see if the Ringtones from external SD Card survive reboot ? In my testing, they seem to survive. I'd like to see if others have similar experience.

You may wish to go back to 5.8
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please wipe Dalvik and Cache. If that does not work, then do a factory Reset and then flash the Rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jweavis:
Went back to 5.8, all seems good. Ringtones after reboot seem to be working just fine on 5.8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Kreeker:
Anyone getting horrible battery drain on the latest build? My phone was awake 80% of the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Battery Life is not a function of the Rom. Its the Apps you are using and the way phone is used (Screen On, internet etc) determines Battery life.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I do believe the ROM could have something to do with it as well. In the past six months I've used both slim and nameless. Slim always beats nameless on battery with the same user apps installed. But I use xposed for net speed on slim.

---------- Post added at 12:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:28 AM ----------

I do agree to a large extent. But I don't know why but slim always kicks everyone's but on battery for me. Stock for stock. Same apps with or without custom kernels.

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

Just wanted to say that I haven't tried 5.9 yet. Just making a general statement. I do believe some rom builds get better life than others, and this can happen with nightlies or weeklies. In the older days, nightlies were considered unstable and possibly uncharted territory, as are the incremental builds for slim, although in reality they're usually stable enough for daily driver use. Just keep in mind that things could get included that affect battery or as many of your noticed bluetooth. I don't use bluetooth, I wish I was that up to date with my car audio and home. i used to be all about that stuff. Bandpass boxes, port / resonant frequencies, blah blah blah. those were the days,

No these are.

Google Two-step Verification Issue

Haven't seen or run into this issue before. Just clean flashed 5.8. When I tried to sign in, I got the usual "To access your account, you must sign in on the web. Touch Next to start Browser sign in." notification because I have Google's two step verification enabled. When I touch next, however, I get the "There was a problem communicating with Google servers." error. I tried clearing the browser data and Google Account Services cache, but no success. If I disable two step verification, I can sign in successfully, but as soon as I re-enable it I get the same problem. Anybody else seeing this and/or have any thoughts? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Didn't see this issue but then I don't have Two step verification. Looks like Google Play Services Code is buggered and not tested for this. Poor testing on Google's part.

His do i install and use milk music on this rom
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tlogank:
I searched the posts but found no answer, so I figured I would just ask here. Anyway to stop the Navigation buttons from popping up every time phone reboots or crashes?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Settings > Navigation
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Out of curiosity, are you using Xposed and Gravity Box?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] tlogank:
Yes.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] infsoul:
I have exposed I'm using the exposed chocolate milk but not using gravity box
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
I had that same problem with gravity box, as soon as I uninstalled a lot of my problems went away. Gravity box does NOT play well with this rom.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Agreed with everything [MENTION=3279537]Prack[/MENTION] posted. I've experienced this first hand as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eksoccer99:
Most of what's in gravity box should be backed in / aosp. As for nav bar with xposed you'll get that. Uninstall.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Magicman500:
Just set the nav bar height in Gravity Box AND Rom settings to 0. It used to pop up for me, but it hasn't ever since I did that.

Can anyone help me get the Samsung milk music app back on my phone before I flash the ROM I hate it but now I can't get it I've even edited the build.prop and download it exposed
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mystique:
I use SlimKat so that I don't need xposed or gravitybox..

My .02
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
I can't think of anything in gravity that would be needed in this rom that you couldn't get from another module. I do like how you can adjust the kill speed of the back button or whichever button, but It's snappy enough for me on stock slim. When using slim, I do use Xposed for theme's and for the Net speed on the status bar. I just like knowing what's coming up or down. I've reduced my verizon data package to 250Mb since I've lost unlimited when I got my s3, I just have to monitor my data usage and my mother's since I have her on my plan. I really need to get rid of big red.

But it's so much hassle from what I've heard.

This may not be the place, but I've noticed builds for US Cellular. I haven't looked into that, but is anyone using cricket or straight talk or any alternative that uses cdma and still using slim?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] preusstang:
I'm using PagePlus which uses the VZW network. $30/mo for 1200 min., 3000 texts, and 500MB. Only $28/mo. and no tax when you buy from callingmart with coupon. I'm running Slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Bramton1:
New to SlimKat. Very smooth. But how do you add shortcuts to the lockscreen?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Settings/Security then scroll midway down the list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] NMEAGENT:
5.9 is the latest build but people are having issues with Bluetooth so I would recommend 5.8
