Have been wondering the same thing ^
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ac3theone:
Had the proximity sensor issue been fixed yet? Also I'm on the 4.3 bootloader, that means I can't use this Rom right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Snottierwhale:
Yes and you can use this ROM on 4.3 and 4.4 Boot loader
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nevrlow:
So one question that maybe someone had an answer to..... When I flash this ROM which is awesome BTW thanks Dev, I restore my stock backup and new pictures I take on the stock ROM don't save or they save as currupt. Not really a huge deal as I kno how to fix the problem I'm just curious as to why it does this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Hero746:
I haven't checked in a while... a long while. I'm still on version 12 LOL.

I see version 23 is out but I hear 22 is more stable. Which one should I upgrade to?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] helodavelo:
Anyone having this problem on v23. Anytime I miss a call my phone reboots. Everything else works perfectly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] allroy1975:
v23 has been very solid for me. just as solid as 22. Make sure you wipe and stuff properly before flashing and you should be good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] PsyCl0ne:
You might have to bump up your frequencies a little. Might be a bit too low for your phone.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] helodavelo:
Any recommendations? I have them as default from v24. Also where would I go to edit? Do I need an app like setcpu or is it built into this rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Where are you seeing v24?

I'm running V23 - Not a single reboot or freeze....

Slim FAQ: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/faq
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] helodavelo:
I apologize typo. V23
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
If you want to tweak the kernel settings - you need to use an app like setcpu or Trickster Mod - I haven't Tweaked anything - And no issues at all... If you're not REALLY sure about what you're doing - I wouldn't recommend that you touch anything ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] crespi_:
To everyone who has experienced issues or undesirable performance from v23:

V23 has been nothing but absolutely stable for me.

Even in the test builds, before the final version it was perfectly stable from the start.

If you have issues, great or small, enough to just be a minor nuisance that's one thing.

IF you are experiencing issues that are great enough for you to deem the rom UNSTABLE...

THEN ask yourself these questions:

// did I install the rom cleanly, wiping the appropriate partitions and starting fresh?

// did I allow a proper amount of time to pass after the rom install, before i installed anything that significantly modifies the system framework, so that i can accurately give blame to the rom itself should anything go wrong?

// did i refrain from installing any other kernel than the default kernel that is included in the rom, before again allowing enough time to pass to consider the rom stable enough to attempt using another kernel.

// and most importantly, did i read this roms FAQ before doing any of the above?

IF YOU CAN NOT ANSWER YES TO ALL OF THESE QUESTIONS...

then you are simply and unquestionably not eligible to make any claims regarding the stability of this rom, no exceptions.

Believe what you want, form your own opinion, but consider the consequences of your actions regarding what you say about someone elses work in a developer forum.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mycomputerisjunk:
No issues with v23 here either.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Arturofm2:
Hey guys I have a couple of questions:

-I don't like the calendar because it's like an agenda, so I made a backup of the S5 calendar. Is there any posibility to have the S5 or the Iphone calendar style in this ROM? The same with the keyboard.

-The last question, why I can't install some apps? I got the .apk of "my files" the file explorer and it doesn't let me install it.

Thank you

To install apps, check your security settings, settings>security> go down to device administration and install from unknown sources...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Arturofm2:
I have that checked, what I meant is that once it's in the process of installation, it says "failed"
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] crespi_:
I don't mean to sound rude, so please forgive me if I seem that way.

I'm sorry you are having trouble with installing old apps. In the future,

I suggest using the app Titanium Backup.

However, at this point, I would suggest looking elsewhere to solve your remaining problems. Those who have answered your questions have already gone above what is expected of help in this thread.

This thread is for the development of Wills Slimkat Rom, and it is greatly appreciated when anyone using this thread adheres to that topic. It's not that no one wants to help.

It's mostly because these off-topic questions create a snow ball effect of things that make using this thread more difficult for anyone who wants to search for a problem they're having with the rom.

A lot of people DON'T use the search function on here, and so many times people ask the same question even though it was answered a few pages back.

BUT sometimes people actually DO use the search function or manually go through pages looking for their answers. And so it's not fair to those people obeying the rules of searching, to have to deal with the confusion added my multiple pages of off-topic posts.

And to me that's why it's important to stay on topic - the same way wills rom is CLEAN - we should keep the forum the same way! The less clutter we have to sort through to find what we're looking for, the more easy it is for people to find what they're looking for, so we can all move on and continue enjoying the rom.

Please consider this in the future, and I hope you figure out how to solve your other issues.

I have to say that at the beginning I didn't like this ROM, it was just... diferent and as human being it was hard to accept something different. But now I'm in love with it, I come from Kitkat, and this rom so fast and I can modify almost anything... thanks to the dev.

I have a question, I searched and didn't find an answer: http://xdaforums.com/sitesearch.php?q=w03 slim global menu

How can I set custom images or restore the standar color to the global menu icons? In style it says: text color, icon color and icon color mode, but I can't figure it out.

Thanks ;)

Edit: You click on the icon ( :eek::laugh: ) and just select the icon you want lol

I didn't erase it in case someone has the same question. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] crespi_:
look at the top right of the screen when in the style section for the global menu - you should see an icon that looks like a partial circle with a dot in the center of it.

Click that. Profit.

Flashing on Canadian W8 Variant

Hi there,

Finally got a Note 3 and am so glad W03 is here as well! Gotta love Will's work!

I was wondering what steps I should take to flash it with the Canadian W8 variant.

So far I've tried flashing just the rom + gapps + the nfc/bt fix but I get a NFC error on the setup.

I've tried rom + gapps + a t mobile kernel + nfc/bt fix and it won't start up.

Should I flash the modem/csc after flashing W03? Is the nfc/bt fix necesssary and/or is there a specific kernel I should be flashing?

I appreciate the help! Missing this ROM deeply!

Edit: Nvm, not necessary to flash anything else besides rom + gapps...that was the problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ac3theone:
Pretty sure NFC doesn't work, it's in the op
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ctruong17:
Yeah I saw :/. I don't have a problem with NFC not working, but the dialogue of NFC stopping pops up and sticks. It doesn't let me click anything else :/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] mad82109:
Using w22 and I'm getting maybe 1.5 hours of screen on time. Clean install to the latest kernel. Screen dimmed. Trying to see why my battery life is so bad. Prior to upgrading the kernel I was getting 4 hours or more. I even tried undervolting -25.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] tkjeeper:
The op is pretty clear
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ctruong17:
Sorry, I was under the impression from another thread that I had to flash t-mobile based kernel and the fix when installing any rom on the Canadian model. Thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Were you coming from a different Rom?

If not....

While you were in Recovery - Did you Wipe System and Caches - BEFORE you Flashed the Rom and Gapps? If you still get the Message - Factory Reset - Wipe System and Caches - Flash Rom and Gapps.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ac3theone:
I think it could be gravity box, it's can cause problems for roms that already have the same customization options it has.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] youngblood68:
thanks dude , I think that was the problem , i tick everything else rebooted and no problems at all , One thing as well I have a problem with when phone is in sleeping mode and I touch menu or back button then it vibrate ??? for me to take this away I need to un tick the vibrate on touch? any ways of fixing that and still keep vibrate on touch ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ac3theone:
That I have no idea about, my suggestion is just do a clean install
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] youngblood68:
tried that as well , no good . anyways thanks for your help :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ac3theone:

Is there a way to launch apps from Heads Up in a floating window? Thank you,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piats:
Wait for v24 ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] suhailtheboss:
I'm loving the ROM so far. Here are a few issues I've been consistently experiencing.

When streaming BT audio in the car, anytime I try and make a call, the phone will reboot.

Also when trying to attach an image in WhatsApp, the gallery will force close every time. Only way to share the image is to share it via gallery.

I can try to provide logs if it will help you narrow down the issue!

Thanks again for a great AOSP option on the note3!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shank007:
Is there a selective setting for heads up where you can select all the apps?

Rather than going to each app in app settings and selecting it manually?

Thanks for this great rom!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] finster1974:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kenq2001:
I tried v22 a while ago and experienced random reboots. What about v23? I am using TW rom now and wanted to try v23. Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] sk8ordie0:
Could be voltage is to low for your device. Some can't handle the setting of the kernel. In that case may need to be bumped up a bit or change governor. You should wipe clean and try v23 and report back. That's the only way to know for you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] crespi_:
Bro just try it out! What's the worse that could happen.... you don't like it and you flash back to your nand of your previous rom?

This whole rom is based from the idea of being clean, stable, but with practical extras. That means -- if you're having random reboots then you're doing it wrong. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] charlie81:
this is the best aosp rom ever my battery life is crazy good no reboots just awesome v23
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kenq2001:
thank you Sir. I will give it a try. Probably I did not wait for enough amount of time before flashing other apps last time. By the way, what kernel do you guys use on this ROM. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] nexx2014:
Leankernal 3.4 simple clean and fast just like this ROM perfect match IMO.

And gets excellent battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Kellicros:
I use temasek latest kernel and the v23 is rock solid.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] crespi_:
PLEAS do not install a different kernel! until AFTER you have tried the default kernel for at LEAST a full 24 hours. Probably better to test for two whole days before you do any of that. Especially since you've had trouble before using this rom.

Remember, always do a clean flash. That means you need to do a full wipe of your system, data, cache, dalvik cache, before you install a new rom. So do a full nandroid backup first then wipe everything except for internal storage and your sd card if you use one.

Then install the rom, the correct gapps package you want. And that's IT for the first two days.

After a couple days, go ahead and flash whatever you want. Just remember that it would be wise to do another backup of everything BEFORE you flash anything like a new kernel. This rom is 100% stable stock. So if you have any problems, remember that you pretty much waive all rights to complain about anything should you modify anything like the kernel.

Just an FYI though, you don't need to install a different kernel than the one that comes with the rom. Will always uses a good version of temaseks for his builds.

Flashing a different kernel or different version is for those want to PUSH their performance or tinker around with stuff, it is NOT necessary.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kenq2001:
Thank you very much for the detail tips and considerations. I strictly followed what you said. So far it's very solid and stable. I ran multiple apps at the same time (Google maps, IGO Primo, music player, etc. ) while driving for over an hour, no reboot at all! I like it.

The only thing that I noticed is the volume of sound is relatively small when playing music or listening to online radio. Is there any sound volume booster that I can flash on the ROM. I did not see an addon in the top page of this thread. Thank you again for the information!

You guys are great!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piats:
Since we are talking in development thread I encourage you people to provide logs.

If you have reboot problems pls provide last_kmsg log

Use any root explorer, copy the file "last_kmsg" located in "/proc" to your sd-card and then zip it and upload it here.

If you have everything set properly in kernel settings these random reboots are related to cm's experimental mdss video drivers. Well at least most of the time.

But anyway for me everything works when I let my phone fully settle after reboot. Basically I wait kernel to load my configurations and settings.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] t0ny0:
Hey guys. Quick question.

Has anybody tried to install in some way the cm11 theme engine?

I know we can use xposed hktheme but it does not support the new engine, and all the nice android L themes seem to be there..

Thanks guys! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] AntBellJr:
I have the same issue. With videos using gallery and games with alot of action(Brave Frontier). If I use VCL the video plays fine, if not it's mega choppy. Even tried doing a clean install with the same issue. I'm on v23, tried different kernels the first time around.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] shaggyskunk:
Unless you are capable of compiling a complete Rom - Then No - Even at that - The CM Theme Engine is not without issues as it is.

Slim has been testing Themes Provider based on CM - But Slimrom are perfectionists - Just like Will!

In the mean time - You can use Xposed & HK Theme manager - it not perfect either - but it may suit your needs. (I realize that you already mentioned this - I'm just reiterating the option).

Slim FAQ: http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/faq
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] t0ny0:

I will probably try to make a build, mixed between wills awesomeness, and with added cm theme engine.

Is there a way to change the icon for stylus from arrow to how it was in touchwiz?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kenq2001:
What is the main difference between slimrom and cm11? Are they based on the same side? The UI looks the same. Why do people here prefer to slimrom? Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] allroy1975:
I don't see anything when I take out my stylus. What are you using to make it show up? I use cm spen add on and a handful of other stuff....

---------- Post added at 12:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:53 AM ----------

Side? They're both aosp. The last build of cm I ran wasn't nearly as fast and stable as slim. That's what I prefer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piats:
Correction: Both based on AOSP but Slim uses different base.

It's more stable and cleaner - less bugs.

UI isn't exactly same but still both are based on aosp so they look pretty much the same.

Slimroms philosophy is perfection and provide stock stable aosp experience with rich features.

Unlike cm style is to push commits and see already working things to get broken. So they push even more commits to fix already working things. Ridiculous?

So no wonder people prefer slim?

Silly question if you ask from me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piats:
Language & input
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piats:
Yeah change it via any root explorer or computer. Only thing is that I don't remember where the location of the file is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kenq2001:
thank you for the detail answer. I asked the silly question since I have been using TW roms in the past two years and it was my first time trying an AOSP rom. Then I realized there are multiple types of AOSP. Are there mods or apks that work on CM11 but not slimrom, or vice versa? My feeling is that same mods/apks can run on both of them. Is this correct? If so, I will probably stay with slimrom.... thank you Sir!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piats:
Themes that are build for new cm theme engine won't work with slim
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] t0ny0:
Unfortunately :(

Still, in the end of the day I agree with you. Stability is what matters. And there is nothing as rock stable as wills slimthang ;) He really did a good job in making it a good experience for us! :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kenq2001:
That is great to know about this rom. I personally do not care too much about themes, as long as all other AOSP related mods/apks work on the slimrom, that is sufficient. No f/c or random reboot is more than anything else to me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] piats:
Well all I can say that ROM is stable.

Kernel uses cm sources.

Cm sources use experimental video drivers.

And many random reboots are related to that so conclusion is that ROM is stable [emoji1]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] blkchoc3:
Just checking to see if everyone is aware of ART runtime (in developer options)... I changed my "select runtime" from Dalvik to ART and the responsiveness of this ROM multiplied and made it even better than it already is. If you haven't done it, you have to check it out for yourself!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] crespi_:
It is kind of you to share something you have discovered and enjoy. However, there are a couple of things I kindly ask you to consider.

First, it should be assumed that anyone who has gone so far as to be active in this thread should be aware of Android Run Time.

Second, although you are satisfied with using ART, but it is an option that is experimental still, and it can cause issues. Everyone here who uses this rom is responsible for their actions. Nevertheless, for all intents and purposes, it is perhaps best to refrain from recommending something that could potentially cause issues for another user - especially when it is not necessary and totally optional.

Then I would like to say that I wish I had your eyes. I've tried and tried and tried to give a fair chance to ART, but I just simply can not notice any difference in app load times. The alleged benefits of ART simply do not justify having to give up the apps I need that are not compatible.

f you don't mind, could you go to your developer options screen, take a screenshot, and then upload it here? I'd like to verify that you are indeed running art and not dalvik. Although you said you selected the ART library, the phone will reboot and attempt the switch, but if there are any apps incompatible with ART, it will automatically revert to dalvik. Therefore, you'll need to check what your current library is set to by going back to developer options.
