I've been running the new beta since last night and I've had no bluetooth or wifi issues, there were a bunch of fixes for both these issues so hopefully it stays working.

dpi ?

For the first time I can't get ROM Toobox DPI setting to work. Says chaingig but on reboot....still at 245???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m1batt1:
Maybe manually edit build.prop and reboot? I don't ever mess with DPI on slim so don't know why it wouldn't work all at once
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
Not just you I have the same issue, I think the latest Rom Toolbox update may have caused the issue. I used build Prop Editor from the playstore(from the same guy who made rom toolbox also looks exactly the same) and it worked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Thanks. Will try it.

Thank you for the reply!

Found it on the slim site under "Adons 4.4 beta". The link in the OP is for 4.3.

+1 on this. I was about to post the same thing when I saw your post. You are correct, I found the same thing. Look the same except the build prop editor works.

Running the latest beta and its running great! Can someone explain how to enable tethering?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
System settings => More... => Tethering & portable hotspot => Set up Wi-Fi hotspot. Set up your network SSID, security, and password. Then, to turn on: System settings => More... => Tethering & portable hotspot, then click on Portable Wi-Fi hotspot. I believe that SlimBean 4.3 has the ability to incorporate a tethering toggle in the quick pulldown, but it doesn't yet appear to be available in SlimKat. May be forthcoming.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] android_4life:
Do I have to use the Slim Gapps? because I like PA since they implement the browser sync. Gapps I know are universal as long as it is flashed with the proper rom version. But for some reason Slim seems to push their own, like no other will work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] 12packabs:
The Slim gapps will work with the dark toggle aka TRDS.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ARchamps:
Thanks for the reply. The tethering works, but I don't get Internet connections on my devices. I read that it is a problem in 4.4. A quick search determined that there is a fix. Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Not sure, Works fine on my device. One search I did indicated a conflict with Juice Defender. If you're running that app, try uninstalling it and see if that resolves the issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Here's a question I posed on the Xposed Framework thread. If anyone here has a fix, please respond. Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
I just left an answer in the xposed thread but if anyone else has the issue this is how to fix it.

It's gravity box that is causing the navigation bar to appear. What I did to fix it is go into Gravity Box>Navigation Bar Tweaks. Make sure the master switch is on, and Enable navigation bar is checked(if neither of those were already done reboot before continuing). Scroll down to Navigation bar height and slide it to 0%.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Yep, you were too fast for me. Giving it a try now. Thanks! :good:

Update: It works great. As a bonus, I found that a setting in XBlast Tools will allow setting a separate lockscreen wallpaper. SlimKat is now good to go for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m1batt1:
I tried to set up and turn on WiFi hotspot but when I hit the check mark it starts to toggle then says error and turns off. Did this on 2 and 2.1.

Anyone know if I'm going from 4.3 > 4.4 that I have to wipe my phone?

Or will I be able to just flash over and keep everything?

Thanks guys!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m1batt1:
Full wipe including formatting /system. Lots of things change between the two. Make sure you do a backup first though
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] PDo27789:
What got things working for me was: wipe everything; flash SlimKAT and Gapps; factory data reset; reboot. The extra reset seems to be what cleared up most of the glitches.

- - -

The menu button is unresponsive at times (reboot fixes it), but WiFi, data, GPS, camera (stock) all work. I don't use Bluetooth so I can't speak to that.

HDR camera + from the market is completely unresponsive though. I haven't looked into it much, so could just be a kk thing. If it persists after a few more weeklies, I'll post again.

I'd like to see the status bar a different colour, and +1 for a kill all in recents, but that's just me being fussy.

Overall this is a great ROM!!! Keep up the great work slim.

You might try installing Xposed Framework with the Gravity Box and XBlast Tools modules. I used those to tweak these. It's not hard. The link below has a tutorial that I used without any prior knowledge. Key is to reboot throughout the install process.

Thanks. I've looked at Xposed before. There are tons of things it can do. I've left it on the back burner for now cause I have too much on the go. (new tab, ROM shopping, tasker as I go, oh, and a 5 month old and a toddler:) Xposed is on deck though!

Back to SlimKAT, it seems all HDR isn't working for any camera. I tried pro HDR cam also, and looked further into the built in camera - didn't see any HDR options at all.

I seem to recall reading about HDR / s3 / kk problems, so disregard my post if it's something already being looked at.

Try snap camera.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WaterMan!:
Long time user of this ROM, and it is quite amazing. I am currently running the newest stable version (Version 2.2). I was wondering if the camera issues were ever fixed? Mainly what happens is if I access the camera app and close it before it fully loads, any time I try to use an application that access the camera it says "cannot connect to camera", and needs a reboot to be fixed. Or could this possibly be an issue that just needs a re-flash of the ROM?

Thank you!

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Pardon me for perhaps a stupid question. The page on Slimroms.net to download the newest Gapps (8/20) has this note, "This package you need for a fresh SlimBean install. If you are on latest SlimBean version allready you can use the upgrade packages in Download Addons Upgrade section." I'm not sure what that means. I'm running the latest version but I don't see a "Download Addons Upgrade section". Does that mean I should use "minimal gapps" package instead of the full one? Confused...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] MercilessLTD:
Typically when a new build comes out, you needn't download an entire gapps package, but instead they usually offer an upgrade version. However, with the 4.3 beta 2, it is required to download a full gapps package.

As far as minimal vs AIO, that's a personal choice. Minimal is exactly that, only the necessities. AIO = All-In-One, as in all of the gapps offered by Google.

Anyone having trouble changing fonts in 4.3? I have left mine sit for as long as 20 minutes trying to reboot, in 4.2 it would take about a minute.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I should have clarified. I did flash the Gapps when I flashed the ROM on Aug 19. My question is related specifically to the new Gapps of Aug 20, and I inferred from the Slimroms note that, if an earlier 4.3 Gapps had been installed, an "upgrade package" should be used in lieu of just flashing the new Gapps file. Did I misunderstand the message? If so, should I just flash the new Gapps? If not, what's the process, what should I download, and from where? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CrackerTeg:
Download the newly updated 4.3 gapps, flash over what you have, profit.

GPS Signal Lost

I am running a Clean (full wipe) install of 4.3. When I am using Google Maps for Navigation, I lose the signal after Screen Timeout. When I refresh the screen, I get "GPS SIGNAL LOST" and then it return to working until the next Screen Timeout.

This was not a problem on SLIM 4.2.2 build 8. I have cleared cache and reinstalled. Running GPS Status before leaving the house, I can fix on 9 of 20 SATs in a few seconds.

Does anyone know of a pending issue or a setting that I can check?

Just question to slim rom users. This ROM is special in terms of DPI. 245 compared to almost all rest 320.. so font size in all apps, is very small. sometimes not readable.

Do all(any) of you change the DPI to higher number after u flash slimrom, or just leave it as it is. Just curious as that's only thing, usually bothers me with slimrom, each time i flash.

For those who haven't seen, Slimroms announced that they do not plan to incorporate the clear all button in SlimKat. They point to this link: http://slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/238-why-do-i-have-less-memory-free-on-my-device

For those, like me, who would still like to have it, the options are to either install Xposed Framework with the Gravity Box module (easy to do) or use another 4.4 Rom that has this feature (there are several, including CM).

Despite my disagreement with the decision, particularly since the feature has been available in earlier versions of Slim (not a good practice, in my view, to take away features that were there previously), I'm opting for the former. Yesterday's minor issue notwithstanding, the team consistently produces a quality, stable product. The good news is that they plan to release a DPI changer in future releases. I've never quite understood having the low DPI default but again have been willing to work around it because of the overall quality of Slim.

Again, kudos to the team. Am enjoying running SlimKat.

2.3 Weekly

2.3 seems to be pretty stable for me. Still have BT re-connect issues with the supplied kernel. BMS dated 12/09 (and wifi works) seems to work ok and DOES reconnect as expected. HOWEVER, if I try to use trickster mod to make any changes to the BMS kernel, I get Settings F/C every time. With no changes, seems to work good. Guess SlimKat does not want to use other govs and such??

Browser still does not word wrap on some websites as 4.3 browser did.

Interface is not as fast/snappy as SlimHalo but app functions seem to be a little quicker. Maybe

Thanks for the continued work on 4.4

Edit: Could the setting F/C be because of this: SELinux in enforcing mode??

Edit again: Permissive seemed to be the answer!! Working good now....fingers crossed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] negrowil:
Thank you for the support!!!

Are you talking about 4.3 or 4.4? I checked 4.3 files and there is no 2.3 build.

Is it going to be available by OTA?

But, what does dirty mean? How dirty could it be? Do you mean only to flash zip without wipe data o factory reset nor format system nor dalvik cache?

I confirm that 2.2 build is getting random reboots specially while running YouTube. No other way to solve this?

Thanks again.

Other than that 2.3 with BMS 12/09 kernel is working very good.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hant-taiyou:
I also have this problem recently. Found solution from verizon forum:

- Switch GPS to device only mode (no wifi/mobile location service)

- Clear data of Google Services Framework and Google Maps

- Reboot

You can try a couple of time before gps works again. The problem may appear after a few days. It seems like cached data from wifi/mobile location mess gps data. Since I left it to device only mode, I don't have the problem anymore.

I detected a weird bug. When one takes a picture using flash, phone turns off and it will not recover until one plugs AC charger. When one take a picture using flash while charging there is no problem.

It seems to be a problem related with power administration of battery (in my noob thought).

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lonemantis:
Hi all -

I flashed Slim 4.3 build 2.2 on my AT&T Galaxy S3, and my wifi is acting "funny."

Wifi works, but it won't correctly scan/refresh/connect to the networks:

1. If I go to wifi, hit scan. Nothing.

2. If I turn wifi off, refresh. Nothing. Hit scan, nothing.

3. If I restart, it does a scan, can connect to networks available on restart.

4. If I switch into airplane mode, un-airplane, it scans and connects just as if I restarted.

Thoughts?

Best,

Kevin

Searched the thread, only found 1 or 2 other people with issues with LTE but I'm having similar problems. Didn't know if anyone has any advice, or has figured anything out. I'm on AT&T and can't get a reliable LTE connection even though it worked fine in stock rooted, data will goto H+ and it works fine, can't get steady LTE. Network mode keeps switching from LTE/GSM/WCDMA to only GSM / WCDMA auto or preferred, and I'll only get H+. Sometimes I can force it back to LTE by changing network mode and it *sometimes* it works, but usually its fails and goes right back to regular GSM, or sometimes it will stick and signal bars goto 0 and it then may take a minute and show LTE, or other stuff like that... Never had issues with LTE in stock rooted oddly enough..

I installed rom fresh clearing all data. Checked APN settings and they look good, same as I had in stock rooted.

Thanks for any advice/help and for the great ROM guys.

Get Android System Info from the play store. It will tell you all you need to know about your system. The baseband is the modem.......but.....not bootloader. It should work ok.

Yes you can go back o 4.3. I do it all the time. The best stable ROM for my phone is SlimHalo with BMS Kernel dated 12/09. I have a Nandroid backup of it that I keep falling back to if I don't like the 4.4 weekly. Acutally, I find SlimHalo to be more stable and faster than 4.4! Don't know why I leave it......just trying new stuff, I suppose.
