I agree, at 7 hours 50% is pretty decent but I'm more concerned with the fact that it fell to 18% in a relatively short amount of time and the fact that it shut off in the first place.

Hi! I've been a i9100 user until today... but today I've bought an i9300.

I've been using SlimRoms since the day they released for my old i9000 (Galaxy S) and until now it has been the best. Latest roms I used for i9100 was the amazing SlimSaber with SaberMod. Kernel was Dorimanx, with dualboot

Right now, the world of the i9300 is pretty new to me.. I've already read the 1st page and the last 7 pages, as well and your signatures to see your setup and searched a few things... but, I've a few questions...

Is this the only SlimRom for i9300 or is there something with sabermod as the i9100 has?

What is the recommended kernel (besides the default) to take great advantage of the i9300? Also, is there any stable kernel that supports dualboot for this rom and, for example, a samsung rom as second rom?

Is there anything that I need to know about this rom (or any other) for S3?

Sorry all the questions, but, as I've told you, the i9300 is pretty new to me, I already have read a lot of things but still a little bit confused.

Hope to test this all a lot of other roms on my new device.

Thanks in advance and best regards!

Welcome to the party mate.

Unless you want to go back to using 4.3 SlimBean, SlimKat is the way to go, there were a few bugs with 4.3 such as no BT audio which I don't think were ever resolved so go with this one.

As for kernel, I have used Boeffla and Googy Max apart from the stock Slim kernel. I had a little but of audio stuttering with stock but I am now using Googy Max and it seems to be rectified, and I also believe Googy Max allows dual boot, but I have not tested.

Has anyone else had the ongoing issue of the song title on lockscreen not updating until you turn off screen and then back on again? Had since stable 3, only a minor annoyance though

Wanted to report that yesterday on build 4 the phone shut down - not reset, and wouldn't respond. I had to take out the battery and put it back to turn on the device
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] neo5468:
This is a really good rom, one of the best, but there is 1 thing that is so huge and game breaking, that I had to switch back to touchwiz. Even though it is slow, laggy as hell, and it makes my phone 10 years older, I just have to use it.

The problem with this rom, and I think with every other rom as well, is that when you are listening music through headphones, there is a static/buzzing noise. It is particularly noticeable when you are listening on very low volume. It is like humming. It is very annoying. When I changed back to touchlag, those buzzing/static/humming problems went away.

Does anyone have a solution for this problem? Maybe some custom audio drivers or something? Since on original touchlag, my usb 64gb stick does not work via OTG cable, but on this rom, it works flawlessly. But this audio bug is still too huge for me to stay.

I really want to use it though, so is there any solution for this ?

EDIT (found solution):

Wow I have just fixed the problem. All I had to do is download Boeffla Sound Control, and change "Headphones Volume". I changed it from 57 to 45 and now everything is crisp and no humming noises. Now slimkat can be my daily driver again :)

Can u tell me the codename of galaxy s3.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Orel1996:
Usually just i9300 I believe.

I don't really know but I'd update to 4.3 Samsung first if I were you to not lose the IMEI
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] habylab:
Hi there,

I love this ROM. The battery life is excellent, and it is far smooth than CM11. On top of that, it is even more KitKat than stock Google KitKat.

But I have a music issue, which is where my songs seem to be duplicated thrice. This isn't the case, I've checked. Only the third version in the list works, see an example below. This also, before anyone mentions it, isn't an application issue. I've used this app with several dozen roms, with no issue before.

Anyone else had this? I've cleared by application cache, system cache and looked for any duplications in databases, on top of database optimisation in SD Maid. Cleared cache and dalvik cache also. No joy yet!

Thank you

I'm having doubles but only on JetAudio player

As far as I know 4.1.2 has EFS folder v1 and 4.3 has v2. Switching between them can mess up the folder so I think updating to 4.3 first should help

I could be wrong though lol

Now just to find out how to alter the expanded state of SlimRecents! I see it in the changelog but no option to modify it.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Orel1996:
How the hell do you get battery life like that? I definitely don't have battery life as long as yours
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Orel1996:
Lol what the hell? Boeflla can't be THAT battery efficient. There must be something else, do you also turn off sync or something like that? What are your settings for Boeflla kernel? Also how do I return to stock kernel if I don't like it?

Sorry for so many questions ^^"
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] chrismast:
you can return to your stock kernel by either (1) dirty flash the rom or (2) extract the kernel from rom and create your own flashable zip or (3) I guess there are more options :). (1) should be the easiest though.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Orel1996:
Alright thanks.. How do I extract the kernel though?

Also, a possibly unrelated problem, anyone else not getting the new Facebook update? My sister has 4.1.2 stock and she got it. I tried uninstalling from play store and installing again but it did nothing
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] h4ck3rc1:
Simply changing your kernel and nothing else will not see a dramatic increase in battery life, you might gain a little, but you won't go from 15hrs average to 2 days just by swapping kernel.

I used boeffla for a while, but I used it to try and reduce audio playback stutter, I didn't notice any significant change in battery life when I used it.

Remember, it's all a matter of compromise.... if you disable Wi-Fi, 3G, Bluetooth and auto sync then reduce screen brightness, you will get 2 days to a charge, but you lose a lot of functionality so it is up to the individual.
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Orel1996:
Yea I thought as much..

Bluetooth is always disabled, Internet I turn on what I use. Yesterday for example I was only at home with WI FI and for about 3.5 screen on time only got about 9 hours. I know it's a lot of screen on time but the other poster here said he had the same screen time with 2 days? Also my brightness was pretty low (close to 0) as I was at home.. What can I change to increase battery life? (I wasn't playing games or something like that that drains the battery, mostly YouTube, Facebook, Web browsing)
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] h4ck3rc1:
Well put it this way, most people that post a ridiculously good battery life screenshot are using airplane mode or have sync and all apps disabled.... which is fine if you are just playing music or playing angry birds, but not that many things run without internet now. Wi-Fi uses less battery than 3G, you can also get apps like Juice Defender, etc.

Turning location detection off will help also and NFC and Bluetooth also
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Orel1996:
Lol location, NFC and Bluetooth are always off for me. Maybe I'll try to turn sync off sometimes but.. That means I won't get say WhatsApp messages right? Those are pretty important :P
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Juka_91:
I have wifi on all the time, internet mobile conection also on all the time(but on 2g, i have very poor 3g coverage in my area) when i leave home i do not turn off wifi, also have facebook, messenger, instagram, gmaila( but only messenger and gmail sync is on) accuweathe (sync every one hour). Use my phone mostly for internet browsing and social media. I am on boeffla 2.2 rc2 setting is pesaque profile is standard. The big trick for me was when the after call drain fix come out. Before that i had very poor battery with same usage as now

it's just plain weird this rom comes default with a different dpi.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] leviatus:
Slim ROM has been coming with 245 DPI since Jellybean so this isn't something new. Change it through build.prop. I quite like the fact that it does not use 320 DPI since it usually makes the icons/text way too big.

Beta 1.9 works really well, only issue would be that as mentioned previously, system apps still not yet removable through Tibu, ROM toolbox etc. All that's missing is slim pie..
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] sevenshorseman:
when i delete apk with any root explorer. After closing explorer and reopened, the apk is not erased. So I see that system apk can't unistalled.

[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Orel1996:
So you're about the same usage as me, only I use 3G when outside and I didn't mess with sync settings. So you think it'll make that much of a difference? Also how do I disable sync to everything but a few apps?
[Galaxy S III Original Android Development] Juka_91:
What is your overnight drain, how much you lose battery when you dont use your phone. I do not charge it overnight anymore, and now i lose 1-2 % -but before after call battery fix it was like 8-9 precent maybe more over 7-8 hours sleep. So that was my biggest drain, and after call battery fix which is merged in slimkat solved that drain, so the i dont lose much juice when i dont use my phone. If any app causing faster drains of battery you can easly see it with better battery stats. For me before fix there was nothing unusual in BBS so issse for me was just that problem with mic after call which stayed on, and that fix solved that. So you just need to determin whether you lose to much battery on *deep sleep* or you just have many apps syncing in the background so it would be pretty normal if it drains a little bit faster.

Hey guys. I'm looking to flash a custom ROM again... Wanna get KK on my device (obviously)...

Was really thinking of going for OmniROM... & then SlimKat is my next preference. However of late... I've been hearing real good things about Slim Kat...

Just wanted to find out if I do flash SlimKat...

1. Any SMS sending issues exist like people are facing on Omni?

2. Camera is laggy? Video recording camera and resolution all OK?

3. Are there any major drawbacks?

I have been following this post for a while now... But haven't gotten much info apart from people talking about battery life and other random requirements. Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask...

Pls PM me if this isn't the place for my queries. Thanks.
