Release Highlights -

Memory Optimization and Code tightening around Governors.

Code Tightening and Cosmetic Improvements with the LEDs and Notifications.

Addition of Russian Translations.

Further Tuning of OOM Priorities. (OOM is Android's internal Task Manager.) So Those with heavy usage should see better memory usage.

Rom - Here

Gapps - Here

Note- At this time I am testing out a different AOSP Rom. So I will not be flashing this myself. Perhaps next week.

wrong thread for a 4.4 ROM but for those who may be interested, kernel source is CM. and can be found HERE
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
A Note for All SlimKat users that are not aware -

Qualcomm had released Optimized Dalvik Libraries. These replace the standard Android Dalvik libraries for devices with Qualcomm's Chipset. This is expected to provide better memory management and possibly enhance app performance.

However, in the Recent CM code changes. there were possible code changes due to which these libraries were not compatible with SlimKat. However, Developer of T.A.R.D.I.S. Mod created an Aroma installer that does have libraries specific to SlimKat. You can flash those libraries if you wish.

Foot Note - I am not aware if Slim Team has already incorporated these libraries into their code or not. The recent Change Logs have not indicated as such.

I assume it's the cm11 one???
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] GenericAsianGuy:
Is there any brave soul who wants to try to see if it works?

And is there any SlimRom dev who can comment whether or not this will be implemented/has been implemented? :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Nope not that one. The TARDIS mod is Aroma so you pick the Slim Rom Option in the Aroma Installer.

We can of course extract just the 2 files for Slim from TARDIS and make another flashable file for us.

When I was on Slim, I had tried, Original Qualcomm, CM version, the patched CM version as well. The problem is that, the phone gets stuck at Bootanimation when I tried the 3 above. You need to go back to recovery and re-flash your existing Slim to get out of that issue. Or restore Nandroid as in my case. Right now I am Testing another Rom (C-Rom). So I can't flash this. I did check and saw that other Non S3 users of Slim seemed happy with that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
Time to give SlimKat another go.

Edit - works flawlessly. I was going to make a backup through the latest TWRP but it fails when saving data. Anyone had this problem before? Worked fine until I installed SlimKat.

Also has anyone had any problems with Xposed? I used to have several issues with KK. So now I want to make a backup just in case but now it won't work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
In TWRP, are you able to see the external SD Card ? Is it full ? The nandroid takes sizable amount of space.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
I tried with other recoveries and they all had the same issue (couldn't mount /data/data or whatever it meant). I figured it was an internal storage issue so I just backed up the important things and did a full internal wipe. Problem fixed.

I loved SlimKat but for some odd reason, it was a bit laggy (even after running Ktoonz). I had Xposed working too. It's great, if the lag wasn't there. So I reverted back to SlimBean 4.2.2 for now ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
It depends on the Launcher. The built in Nova can get sluggish with its own bloat. The first thing I do after I flash Slim or any other Rom is to replace the Launcher. Try Zeam or Launcher Pro.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
I use Launcher 7 and it typically is speedy. But the lag was occurring in other apps as well. Not too bad but it was noticeable. I will give this another go with the next nightly

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] JAY28W:
Hey, guys...

With 5.9 I can no longer use my bluetooth headphones. Have worked perfectly up until this release (I dirty installed w/clearing only cache and delvik, as I usually do).

Have a Plantronics and a Jaybird. Have removed all pairings and tried to re-pair. My GSIII doesn't see either of these, and for that matter no other bluetooth devices (I'm at work where normally about 10 devices would be trying to pair with my phone as soon as start searching, but nothing is showing up). I also have a Mako that I put 5.9 on, and I had to remove all pairings then re-pairing to get them to work.

Anyone else having issues? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance... jay

ps, I have a Mako w 5.9 on it too and it seems to be pairing fine, although I did have to remove all pairings and repair.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Its been collectively observed across the threads that Bluetooth is broken in 5.9. If it is critical to you, please go back to 5.8.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
That behavior is independent of the ROM and due to apps or services you have installed. Use a proper wake lock / battery monitoring app to determine the cause of battery loss.

Greenify works for me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] :
I am having an issue with random reboots. It seems that when my phone enters a deep sleep it wont turn back on or it essentially is turning itself off. I just finished resetting the phone through ODIN to ensure a clean flash and I am still encountering this issue.

I have also noticed that when I hold my power button down to access the menu, it either shows the regular power menu or the extended menus. At times it will quickly flash between the both. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Edit: Because this was also happening with my nandroid backups I am going to revert back to stock non root and see if the problem persists. If so, it might be my power button going out on the S3 like it did with my S2. I rather blame my hardware than the rom this time around. Ill update later.

Edit # 2: It looks to be the power button going out and sticking internally. I will call and get it replaced. Im glad I caught it in time to go back to stock! Heh:eek:

Hey there, I seriously don't know if it's appropriate to ask this question here, so just tell me if it isn't hehe!

Let's say I'm coming from a 4.1.1 TW ROM on T999VVLLH2 (Wicked V10) and want to flash this ROM, which would be my first AOSP-based ROM, do I need to do anything in particular beforehand? And also, would it be "easy" to go back to TW if I'm not satisfied?

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes It is very easy to go back and forth. But if its a factor, most of the people who try AOSP, practically never go back. (Unless you can't live without some of Samsung Features). But yes you need to wipe EVERYTHING before changing back and forth.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lightpsycho:
Ok so I would assume that the baseband would be updated automatically if I were to flash a 4.3 based AOSP ROM?

I just stumbled upon an issue where the stock browser is uninstalled (not by choice) but is showing in the /system/apps folder. I can't access it or even see it in my app drawer and Titanium shows it uninstalled yet it's there in my system apps folder. Trying to reinstall the app gives me the "not enough space" message (I do have enough space though) and trying to restore it from titanium just goes on forever.

I want this browser yet I can't access it. Any ideas? I also tried to move the apk to the system folder and change permissions but that doesn't do it either.

From my SGH-T999 S3 running Slim Bean
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
No it won't update baseband AKA Modem just because you flashed a 4.3 Rom. Only way to update the baseband is to either flash the next Samsung update to the Touchwiz rom. Or manually flash the requisite modem from Doc Holliday's Modem Thread. (Now if you were referring to Bootloader update, then that's something else.)

No I did not mean your internal storage on /SDCARD. But you must to factory reset as part of your process. That does delete some application data from /SDCARD. But nothing that won't be covered by Titanium Backup.

Move

the APK you see from under /system/apps to say /ExtSdCard/Download. If you can't move the apk then your Root explorer has either not mounted /System in RW mode or it does not have root privilages.

Next double click on that apk as if sideloading an app and go through the install process.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lightpsycho:
I was referring to the modem, but since we're at it, what will in fact happen with the bootloader?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Nothing will happen. This Rom does not flash a modem or Boot loader.

My suspicion was that this rom needed UVDMD5 Bootloader for successful flash. This has not been confirmed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
One of the beauties of this ROM is that it's edify script doesn't check bootloader status. So no, MD5 is most definitely not required. :D
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] EXV:
Thanks for the advice. I had root explorer in RW mode and with root access. Nothing worked. Ended up just reflashing and all is well now.

From my SGH-T999 S3 running Slim Bean 4.3
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lightpsycho:
If I want to flash the latest modem/bootloader, does it matter if I do it before or after I flash this ROM? In my case since I have a canadian T999V I would be using VLDMF2. Since it comes with our 4.1.2 OTA, I guess I should not do so and then try to boot my current 4.1.1 ROM, right?

Your modem and bootloader if from 4.1.2 will have no effect if you were to go backwards to 4.1.1

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes I know there isn't a check. I remember some people running into problems that were suspected due to v2.6 of TWRP ? Well I was wondering if those issues were due to Bootloader rather than Recovery.

It does not matter weather you do it before or after flashing this rom. That's your call.

If you flash 4.1.2 OTA, it will probably overwrite this rom. I don't have Canadian version. But on T-Mo, any Odin flashes typically completely wipe out previous rom. Given this, may I suggest, flashing VLDMF2 Modem by itself afterwards, if you intend to flash this rom first ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] LuigiBull23:
Agreed. I suspect that as well. You and I both have had successful flashes on TWRP 2.6 while on MD5 bootloader.

I just noticed an issue right after flashing the rom + minimal gapps, when playing in the settings.

If I go in advanced settings -> interface -> LCD density. Default density is 240 and everything is pretty small. I enabled superuser and proceeded to change density to 320. I rebooted, then went to step 3 to clear market data. I rebooted again, and when I went to go into market to "hit accept", I get a no connection error with a retry button, as if, well, I had no connection. But it isn't the case obviously as I can browse without any issues whatsoever...!! I tried clearing data for google play store, to no avail. I tried clearing cache and dalvik in recovery and re-installing gapps, but I still have that error!!!! What the hell...

At this point since I have nothing installed I don't really mind reflashing the ROM but if somebody here has any idea why this is happening...please advise! Thanks!

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] blk_jack:
You also have to wipe uhhh, Google Play Services I think it's called. Try that too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
You need to FC Google Play Store before you clear its cache and Data. Same with Google Shared Services. Follow that immediately with clearing dalvik and Cache in Recovery.

Well, I gave in and proceeded to start from scratch and reflashed. This time around everything was OK...?!? Anyhow, thank you both for the suggestions.

By the way, is it me or the aosp email app is not included in the ROM/minimal gapps? I didn't go with the AIO as I really don't need all that stuff...

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I am not sure if Stock Email app is part of Gapps. AIO or not. It is supposed to come with the Rom. I believe that's how I got it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lightpsycho:
I found something in the FAQ on slimrom web referring to the "extras" section in downloads for email/exchange but the link is broken...?

Anyhow, Perseus, do you run the latest 4.3 beta or stable release? I'm on beta so maybe this is why?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I have the 4.3 Beta as the OP says. I did install the full AIO Gapps. But that's the only difference I see. As far as Slim or AIO Gapps go, there's no mention of Email App being included in it.

However, the AIO Zip file of the Gapps does indeed have the Stock Email APK!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] lightpsycho:
Well damn! I think it should be included in the minimal package! I don't know if I could just extract the apk and install it...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Don't fret. I will post the APK here in a bit. Expect this post re-edited with the attachments.

Do note you need 2 APKs, Email Client and Exchange Services.

EDIT - APKs attached. You can either sideload like any other app or just move them to /system/apps and then reboot.

Hey guys, you're right, it's only in the 4.3 beta AIO files. I'll talk to the team to consider putting them in the minimal gapps though. (Also the website is "outdated" as the addon wording is completely different and relevant to 4.2.2)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Would be Mighty Kind of you if you could ask them to include News & Weather App in minimal Gapps as well.
