[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] radrobe:
I flashed to a touch wiz variant and it works much better after doing the ##78765# or whatever the number was. I then restored after doing that and had the same issues. I guess I'm stuck with bad coverage or touch wiz.

I had the same issues on a 4.3 non touch wiz ROM previously, but didn't make the connection that it could be the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mr. Struck:
There are flashable .zip files available for all the previous Sprint modems plus the current MK3, possibly a previous modem will help with better signal/data connectivity. Latest and greatest modem doesn't always work perfect for everyone. Some Sprint users have had success with the Virgin Mobile modems as well (MG2 version). I'm on VM and have successfully used both Sprint and VM modems interchangeably.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] radrobe:
Thanks! I'll try them out.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] radrobe:
Hey, just to be clear, I just flash these modems after the I flash a ROM? Do I need wipe or format anything prior to flashing it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JG96EVO:
Just wipe ur cache and dalvick cache then flash the modem and reboot then if ur on touchwiz do a prl update and profile update
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] creep138:
I heard all aosp roms sucks with data. Something about using an outdated ril file that sprint doesn't open source anymore.

Coming from years with aosp ROMs on my phone, getting used to touchwiz sucks. But I do have to say 4.3 mk3 update doesn't lag or suck up my battery much. Just use a different launcher, I use nova beta without any problems changing DPI.

I do miss cyanogenmod lol

Hi, To update on 4.4 the new release of 4.4.2 ... Is it only for a new clean install? May I upgrade?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kroz:
you can dirty flash it,

only then if you encounter any problem, like slow downs, or fc's, then full wipe and reflash rom

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Yeah... apparently it was the SMS middleware stuff (I believe it was related to CM's WhisperPush) that was breaking things... :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] EricCartmanez:
can't install apps to sd, using gustavo's kernel, is it kernel related? cause i can't find it in known buggs, and in cm thread there was a fix to this somewhere :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Try it with the default kernel and find out... :p

hint: it is working fine on Beta 1.6

as the fix involves fstab.smdk4210, which is compiled into bootimage... I'd say yes... very much a kernel issue

New built wont boot for me. Dirty flashed like kroz 4.4.1.build before, wiped cache and dalvik but stuck at samsung logo then got blackscreen. Strange thing before reboot in recovery he says that there is no su installed...

Want to edit build.prop but can't find how to set write permission with simple file manager?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Because it is "simple"

get ES File Explorer... is free and has root functionality... also, you'll need to remount /system read/write to be able to edit build.prop

Pound Rom ..By Lion0738
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rachanta:
This the best 4.4, 4.4.1 or 4.4.2. ART works, apps 2 SD works, Google apps get restored automatically, camera and camcorder work and to top it all there is a fully customisable navbar. This is now my benchmark ROM. Excellent Work!

There is one problem which I also found in omni linaro saber 4.4.2 - Google Play Store never goes to home - connection failure. 3G also appears slow. The same works well with wifi. I am using modem_ril XXLS8. Is it a modem problem? Has anybody got a similar problem?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ermacwins:
Do you see any problems in the preview after taking a picture/video?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] ammarsg:
the important thing now is theme choser please....
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
With regards to Apps2SD... Have you tried rebooting? You'll probably find that they disappear... the known issues have been updated

What problems? The only issue with preview at the moment, is that it isn't the same as the final picture/video (as mentioned in known issues at beginning of thread)...

When you take a picture or video, the end result is slightly wider or higher than what the preview shows (depending on orientation ;)) You can test it by aligning a straight feature with the very edge of the screen and taking a picture... you'll notice that in the final picture, there is slightly more shown...
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Frankfor85:
After some hours of usage with art runtime i can say that this is best kitkat based rom, thanks for this great work!

Everything works fine, just missing some little features that i hope we can have soon also on kitkat:

1) back button dont hides extended notification bar;

2) tiles are available only in quick settings and not in main notification bar;

3) can't set answer and unlock device with home button.

Problem with extra sd cards

Hi,

I have problem with SlimKat. Before I was using CM11 from Wayland_ACE and before day i upgrade version of my phone to this one.

Since that time, my file manager (Total Commander) starts to show 4 mounted storages. I have and I need ofcourse only 2. Sd and internal.

Here is link to screenshot:

What wrong happend? How to remove that extra ones? I can't now download any games, which default move itself to sd.

Any ideas for solve this problem? I'm frustrated and I have to back to 4.4 from CM. Seriously, I don't want to restore backuped up older version.

btw, sorry guys for my poor english.

Love and peace
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rachanta:
I am still testing, and I have 890 MB free for more apps so I don't really use APPs to SD. I use S4 camera and again the ROM changes happen so often that I hardly get to use apps other than phone, SMS and email between the updates.

I must still say that is a very competent build.

Banks Google Camera

I tried banks google camera 4.4.2 and it was working good, camera have working photosphere, and the new Photo application is now the default Gallery. It Automatically removes AOSP Camera/Gallery and adds Google Camera/Gallery but video recording was broken.:( I'm not into video so for me it was good. I will try later Banks standard Gapps 4.4.2 and will check if video recording will still be broken or will I encounter bootloop. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] 7HUND3R:
Hi guys, since I want to have some google apps as user apps so I can greenify them I mod slim_minimal_gapps package by erasing apps such as gmail to install later from play store..do I must follow some particular procedure to modify 4.4.2 gapps? because of ART you know some packages work best than others..I don't want to make a mess! Up to now with 4.3.1 I simply delete the apk from the zip and everything works! Can I continue this way? thanks :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Pug123:
This is a workaround given to me by fusionjack

for temporary workaround, type these in terminal emulator:

Code:

su

echo 1 > /sys/devices/virtual/sec/sec_touchkey/force_disable

this won't survive by every reboot. you can make it survive with init.d script or just wait until the device settings is integrated.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Truman82:
Flashed rom 2 hours ago. Switched ART, and system is blazing fast and stable too. Using minimal gapps atm. Will see how battery life goes.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] SimboXXX:
Have you tried the S4 camera/gallery (in theme & app section)? I'm using on 4.2.2 and video works fine.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] rocholaroca:
Agree...

1) back button don't hides extended notification bar;

2) tiles are available only in quick settings and not in main notification bar;

3) can't set answer and unlock device with home button.

and would like to add....

4) Google Voice dictation not working on my device... the system crash and reboot.

yes I already tried that before and yes it was working good even video recording but I want the new photo application to be the default gallery and dont want another camera icon but thanks again.:good:

If you flash the zip it replaces the existing camera and gallery, anyway.

Still don't see any real issue? :confused:

Maybe not quite as sharp as using Nova... but that is an issue with Launcher3 I guess... seems it is using slighly enlarged icon sizes as compared with Nova... perhaps because it wasn't designed for hdpi devices running at weird resolutions? take it up with Google... nothing to do with us
