Thanks for update to 4.8!

For reasons that seemed sound at the time, I took the path of installing through formatting system and then installing 4.8 followed by Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.2.build.4.6.zip only to suffer endless "Google Play Services have stopped" issues.

Formatting system again, clearing cache & Dalvik and using Slim_minimal_gapps.4.4.2.build.3.x.zip did the trick and all is now up and running smooth as ever.

I'm not sure why the latest gapps didn't work... has anyone else got any ideas?

Needless to say, I'm posting this as a warning to others, just in case someone with less time on his/her hands is tempted to follow a similar route!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kimbo82:
THere wasa problem with thier latest gapps, and acording to their internetpage if it happens then you should reboot the phone and wait to the services to update itself to the correct version.

Flashed yesterday and the ROM seems very good. Thanks!

Lost 2% over night, no FC, quick and smooth.

But I have one problem. I can connect to my bluetooth carstereo, but is randomly disconnects. Seems less frequent with the screen on.

Don't have a log atm. but thought I would ask here is somebody else has the same problem and solved it?

Wow.. I have stock rom and im getting 10 to 15 over night.. can u post some screan shots of battery :eek:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kimbo82:
I had a problem that bluetooth would crash and my speakers would start playing, very random.

If you mean that sound stops now and then, like small gaps. Then you can try to download for example Kernel Tweaker and change "Read ahead size" under Tweaks. You can also try to change I/O scheduler, I like to use Row.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] fuzzic:
I have attached a screenshot of the battery. I did not fully charge it, pulled the plug @ 94%.

This is a clean install, coming from org. Samsung ROM, and used Titanium to restore a couple of apps.

Sorry, should have explained better.

Spotify playback and calls are working perfect. The message I get is: "Bluetooth share stopped working". Then it disconnects and I have to reconnect and it resumes playback. But it is annoying to get cut off in the middle of an conversation.

Had the phone connected to my stereo for a couple of hours and it disconnects every 10-15min.

Hi guys,

Is it just me, or right up until Build 2.5 RC1, it seems that the storage isn't working.

I've tried using multiple versions after that but it doesn't seem to be able to read my 64g SD card. and if I go to settings -> storage, the SD card shows as 0gb total space.

I've even tried inserting a new 64g sd card to get it to format, it seems to do that but shows as 0gb, as if it's not there and I can't access it through ES file explorer.

What am I missing here? I must have not done something... when the build after 2.5 came out.....?

I'd appreciate any help.

Sorry it took so long to post this I know we're on build 4.8, but I didn't want to jack up my post count just so I can ask this question, and I've asked in the Q&A/Help forum to no avail.

Thanks in advance!

It may be that either the ROM or kernel don't support cards above 32gb

Try installing a different kernel first to see if it solves the problem.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] grungypoo:
Thank you.

I usually leave my kernel stock, what kernel do you reccomend?

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Hbohd:
And you should also check filesystem of your sdcard. ExFat might be causing issues :(
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kimbo82:
The latest version should have exFat support.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] sevsman:
I'm pretty sure it's simply because the card is over 32gig. You could try creating 2 32gig partitions and see how that works out!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] infrag:
As stated since slim didn't have native exfat support I did compile it in at one stage but most people didn't seem to care so I haven't bothered with any build since probably the one you were running. If people are interested I can make it work again. Just didn't seem worth the effort if nobody cared... Maybe slim have done some work on it... I'll have a look and see... Build 5 is compileable so I may try add it in to that.

hi all, have a few questions to check with the regular users here..

i've just flashed the slimkat on my i9305 (previously was on Samsung ROM).

a few problems:

1. battery drain was very fast, 5mins from 39% drops to 2%, no idea what happened (phone was idle).

2. front camera hangs when option is chosen (this happens randomly, sometimes work normally)

3. music stutters a lot when played (using power amp)

anyone have any idea whats going on??
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kimbo82:
Try downloading wackelock detector or Gsam battery monitor, enable root and see what causes the drain. I usually have excellent battery life with slimkat.

About 3, you can download kernel tweaker and change I/O scheduler and Read ahead size. I like row or nook, and atleast 1024 MB..
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] gorillaCF:
thanks for the reply. i'll see what i can do based on your suggestions.

Let us know if you need further help.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] grungypoo:
Thanks everyone for your help on this.

I will try changing kernels first, and see if that works.

Failing that I will try repartitioning the SD card via recovery.

Cheers for that infrag, I hope you do add it in there, I might wait for this build first and work it from there......

hi all. anyone have camera problem? i took a few pics and then it hangs (google camera) and from then on, it keep saying 'cant connect to camera' until i reboot then it's fine again.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] nielowen:
As a workaround, try using "reset camera by Temasek". There's an app on the Play store that makes use of Temasek's fixer, either use that or see the link it offers to Temasek's app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.billgbennett.camerafix

Using Temasek's app - with or without the Camera CMFix app - avoids having to reboot in order to re-enable the camera.

Ta for hitting thanks if this helps!
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kimbo82:
On slim homepage you can download a fix for google camera, I havent tried it but should work.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] griffin_1:
I experienced this recently. I will try the fix others mentioned.

One issue im having is audio drops( in music i mean). I experienced this with cm11 before, but much more intensively than on this rom. Is there a fix for it yet? Im still on slimkat 4.6.

Other then this, this rom has been great so far and the battery life is very good.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kimbo82:
Try downloading kernel tweaker and change I/O scheduler and read ahead size. That worked for me.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] griffin_1:
Thank you!

What values did you changed your to? I see there are different choices for I/O scheduler and read ahead size and im not sure which one to choose =/
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] gorillaCF:
i'm really not sure why my device is as such. could it be because i'm flashing slimkat from stock rom 4.1.2?

i still have the camera issue, i'll try the google camera fix on slim page. for now, the 'restart camera' app suggested by a fellow user is my workaround.

apart from that, i have 2 more issues.

1. incoming call, phone takes forever to light up. i end up missing the call ALL THE TIME. the screen on also takes a long time from the time i press the power/home button to the time the screen is finally on.

2. music stutters a lot. even alarm's ringing are stuttering.

appreciate all the help provided, esp to Kimbo.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kimbo82:
I use Row and a read ahead size of 1024 or more, that is usually good for me.

For the screen you can try to add this to the build.prop:

mot.proximity.delay=25

Otherwise I would suggest that you reinstall everything and maybe even download everything again. And wipe data and system before flashing, or the whole internal memory if you want a clean start ;)
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] gorillaCF:
for now, i'm planning to get the kernel tweaker app and see if changing some of the settings will do any changes (the phone isn't with me now so cant do it).

if possible, i would want to avoid starting from scratch again, haha.

just curious, how do u manually wipe the whole internal memory? i only know that by flashing a stock ROM through Odin, the whole internal memory will be wiped. this could be my final plan if everything else doesnt work (tweaking the settings), to flash a 4.3 stock ROM since previously i was on 4.1.2, and then everything will be as good as new, flash slimkat.

i've had no issues with slimkat on my s4, and didn't expect things to turn out like this for my i9305 :crying::crying:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Kimbo82:
You can wipe it in recovery, I personally like TWRP, but you should be able to do it with Philz and CWM as well.

For TWRP you boot into recovery, then you choose Wipe - Advanced Wipe and internal storage. I like to do it from time to time. It's so nice to see the Internal memory beeing clean :D

Btw what recovery are you using and are you sure it's the latest?
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] gorillaCF:
i'm currently using CWM 6.0.4.7, i think it's the latest. haha.

Sorry to ask this but you previously said on CM11 thread (few weeks ago) that the "NO data after MMS" issue was 1st on your to do list (here). Do you have major problems to solve this ? I mean, to find a way to make your fix compatible with other devices as you said here ?

Right now I'm more interested in the sound glitch issue on CM. I don't use MMS, so for me right now, this is further down the list.

As you can understand, it takes time to support two ROMS. If anyone has time to help, please do ....

BTW, it would be good to get a CM10.2 log for the behaviour and comparison. I'd need radio and main system logs (use alogrec)

Hi All,

Just a quick update on this, I ended up dirty flashing build 4.9 with the slim gapps it seemed to work perfectly.

I'm not about to look a gift horse in the mouth so I'll just leave it.... although I am curious, because previous to this I have always done a wipe before install, and the last time I did that with builds after 2.5rc until 4.8, my sd card doesn't register.

So I'm wondering if clean installing does that, or if it's just the versions after 2.5~4.8. LOL...

I have a feeling I won't last long before I try a dirty flash of 4.8 to see if my sd card registers and then I'll do a clean flash of 4.9 to see what happens.... lol...

Once installed 5.4 I had a Camera focusing issue. So I've got the library vendor-camera.smdk4x12.so from there (Fixed Camera V5 Update on 17/05/2014), here is direct URL, renamed it to camera.vendor.smdk4x12.so and put into /system/lib/hw replacing that one from SlimKat, fixed permissions. And after reboot my focusing issues disappeared, the Camera works perfectly. The archived library is in the attachment. Probably this will help to someone who is having the focusing issue.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] mindphaser2k9:
I noticed a quite big battery drain, stats reported that is caused by Android OS. I used OS Monitor and saw that a process gsiff_daemon consumed about 15% of CPU. I googled and find that such thing sometimes happens. So I removed a file /system/bin/gsiff_daemon (root is requiered), rebooted and after that a battery life is perfect. Not sure if this will impact any functions but seems not.

Also would be good to have DPI and CPU settings in the ROM. I edited DPI (back to 320) in build.prop manually and used Trickster Mod for CPU settings, that's ok, just want to say it may be difficult for a novice.

Now after tuning I'm very happy with this ROM, it is the best for me. Thank you!

DPI is being worked on by Slim team. I believe they are almost ready with it... well based on what I've seen anyway.

CPU settings i guess arent normally for a novice anyway so they arent included in the slim by default. Maybe they will one day... Also CPU settings for OC/UV arent part of Slim rom and would be device specific anyway.

Mate, I'm not complaining, just to note if you want to include it in the next version of the ROM (5.6).. I'm happy with my settings now.

What I changed in CPU settings is only government to a default pegasus, I know it consumes more battery but has a less lag :)

Your right... It seems I did accidently use the wrong file. The copy I thought I'd used I compared to the one from your link and they were the same.

I get that your not complaining but the DPI question has been asked before and its out of my control. Maybe I should add that to the OP:angel: I once cherry-picked a DPI commit from Slim but it was useless at the time so I've just been waiting for them to finalise it :)

I also had the file/process "gsiff_daemon" active at first with latest version. From what I read on internet it is a GPS Sensor deamon usually found on stock rom. And from what I have read it don't hurt much to either delete it or rename it to gsiff_daemon.bak.

However, because of EFS problems, I had to return to stock 4.1.1 a month ago and start from scratch, re-root etc. I then did a clean install of SlimKat and - apart from one test run of Carbon and a quick celan re-install of SlimKat - I now find I no longer have "gsiff-daemon" at all in /system/bin.
