Thanks. I see that mentioned in their thread now.

I'm not sure I want to switch just to solve this problem though - I'll probably end up with more issues on CM12 from what it sounds like. I'm really happy with Slimkat aside from the Snapchat problems so I might just have to deal with it.

Is there a way to reverse volume buttons when screen is rotated? I think I'm overlooking that option somewhere or does it only exist in Lollipop?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ezwalker63:
I did a clean flash of this ROM and got horrible battery life. I tried it out for a week to see if it would straighten itself out with no luck. I only installed a few additional apps during the week of testing. Does anyone have any suggestions to improve battery life? I love this ROM and would like to continue to use it but I can't keep it if I'm only going to get around 5 hours of battery life. Thanks in advance!

i suggest you try it with custom kernels, there are a lot in the forum.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
How old is your battery? When these devices get older, you have to wonder if poor battery life is due to software or just the cells wearing out.

Do you have any you like in particular? I have always used Touchwiz based ROMs and I'm not familiar with AOSP based kernels.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jason2678:
I really liked the Quantum kernel on kitkat ROMs. Be sure you get the kitkat one and not any of the lollipop ones for this ROM.

What you're describing does not match my experience on this ROM on its stock kernel. I remember it being very good for battery use, maybe one of the best. You might have some other app causing a wakelock problem. You should investigate it with better battery stats. See if something is keeping your phone from getting to deep sleep when idle.

Hey people!

Long time slim user here. Just realized that I was still on build 7, so I decided to update to 9. Did a full clean install but when I boot up I cannot get a data connection at all.

I go into the settings and manually try to enter the APN for ATT and the settings won't save. I get all the info typed in and tap save but when it goes back to the main APN screen nothing is there. Anyone else have this issue or a fix for this?

Thanks!

This might be a stupid question and I already searched, but does this rom come with root access? I did a clean install via latest TWRP with latest stable plus mini gapps but I don't have root access and Super SU is failing to install. I came from a 5.1 rom that crashed constantly but had working root access.

Edit: Flashing Super SU from here in TWRP then installing Super SU from Play Store worked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
SuperSU works, but you could've also enabled native root in developer settings.

It's baconnn!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] atmu5fear:
This ROM isn't pre rooted? Just installed on my old S3 as a project, and no root access? Flashed from rooted stock, with twrp. This ROM has no root. Installing SuperSU from play store and updating binary fails?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
I haven't used this ROM in a long time but I think you simply activate root access in Developer Options (tap build number 7 times).

Hello, I'm a bit new here. Just gonna ask about my AT&T SGH-i747 (ROOTED and UNLOCKED) has a 4.1.1 android version. Can i use this slimkat to upgrade to a 4.4.4? if yes, can someone please guide me with a detailed tutorial how to get this done? i'm not quite familiar with the instruction that is stated >>

1. Flashing SlimRoms coming from another ROM or Android version (e.g. slimbean to slimkat) (Clean flash):

- Download latest SlimRoms and latest gapps and put them on your sd card

- Boot to recovery

- In CWM, do a factory reset, wipe cache and in mounts and storage section format system

- In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik, cache, system and data

- Flash ROM

- Flash Gapps

- Reboot, setup and enjoy.

Can someone please provide a in-depth tutorial how to do this?

Thanks in advance!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
That's actually pretty straight forward, but I'll try to rephrase it. First, download the zips for the ROM and for 4.4.4 gapps. Then you need to boot into recovery. I'd recommend TWRP (if you don't have TWRP recovery, find the latest version for your phone and find a tutorial on how to flash it in Odin.) In TWRP, you'll tap on Wipe, then advanced, and check the boxes for Cache, Dalvik, System, and Data. Swipe the thing at the bottom to wipe all those things. Then back out to the top menu of TWRP and select install, select the zip for the ROM, then add the zip for gapps, (you can add other zips of you want, like SuperSU for root, though 4.4.4 Slim has root built in), then swipe to install. Then reboot and set up your like-new phone. (The first boot may take a while.)

If you want, there is an unofficial 5.1.1 Slim. Steps would be the same.

P.S. Before wiping anything in TWRP, make a Backup so you can restore to your current state of anything goes wrong.

This ROM does not seem very stable, camera issues, cell signal is intermittent. I have flashed it on 2 AT&T GS3's and both have the exact same issues, seriously needs work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrenhal:
Honestly this is an old rom. You also need to make sure you have a fairly up to date modem/bootloader combo flashed. It worked fine for me but I moved on to the next level I prob and am now on cm13.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ssurell:
Oldie/goodie

I just flashed this to my i747 and has fine cell signal. You may need to update your baseband. The camera crashed when I switched from front back to rear, but I would get random/infrequent camera crashing with CM12.1 with regular use. I know people with stock ROMs (never rooted) who have had camera issues that were only resolved by reflashing the device at AT&T store.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Shagerty:
Camera doesn't crash on stock haha, but every custom ROM that is not a TouchWiz base for this phone has Front Camera force close issues. The only ROM i have not had any issues with in terms of camera and intermittent signal is OCT-OS L M6 FINAL (5.1.1) 12-29-2015 That build and release of OCT-OS L is phenomenal. I have two of these S3's and both have updated baseband I think a lot of people on these threads put a lot of weight into the baseband and dont realize that updating the phone via OTA will update your baseband. Just update the phone to latest release on stock ROM and you will forever have the latest baseband. No need to fuss with all these baseband threads.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ssurell:
Agreed on easiest way to update baseband. And as far as custom Kitkat ROMs go: Rooting stock, installing a 3rd party launcher like Nova, and Xposed framework will allow most of the customizations. I've just never messed with TouchWiz much, so it's seems easier to just flash cyanogenmod and deal with minor bugs. I've been using this ROM for several days now and haven't had any cell signal issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ssurell:
Another thing stock (and Cyanogenmod) has are quick settings at the top of the notification pane, which Slim has decided to negate in place of custom app shortcuts at the bottom. An extra move to get to quick settings panel with automated access dependent on swipe area and/or inconsistent notification variables. But with the ribbon, I basically never use the quick settings pane. It's the same logic used in Lolipop, where I'm using multiple swipe gestures to do the same thing I could do with a single swipe in Kitkat. Um...no.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sinsfromhell:
I'm having a bit of a problem after this ROM was flashed. I'm not getting any 3G/LTE/2G signal etc. And the preferred network is stuck in LTE. Cannot switch from LTE to 3G/2G.

Do you know somthing about it? Do you know if the has enable all LTE band enable?

One issue I've encountered with the latest weekly (5.10): If I power the device off and dock it, the screen backlight flickers dimly and constantly. It continues after removing from the dock. I have to manipulate the power button several times to get it to power up. I may try a different kernel to see if that helps.

The Sim card sometimes does not like Preferred network Settings. Ask ATT for a newer one. They can tell if its an old one based on the number.

Roms do not cause Battery Drain. Its the apps installed and their usage.

I dont think, that's entirely true. Anyways, what i was trying to mention here, I had installed exactly same apps as i had earlier with prior versions.

So there is nothing new app installed with 6.0, which could change the battery drain. Only difference from y'day to today for my phone

Flip-phone to speakerphone function request

I just dirty-flashed SlimKat Official v6 just fine, and almost immediately after, took an update to Google Search, and the dark-theme-enabled version of Google Now was over-written or disabled as a result. bummer. just an fyi on this ... is there a way to re-assert TRDS for this app?

One feature i miss (from an old smartphone) might be considered in a future "Flip feature request" -- i thought it was a useful feature to be able to flip my phone face down on a table during a phone call, and automatically have the speakerphone function be implemented. Might this be a future feature that is of interest? or could be implemented?

There really aren't any other things this ROM is missing, imho!! Thx to the Slim Team!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You'd have to reflash Gapps to get the old Search back. Or you could use Team Blackout with their own updates.

For the Flip feature, there already is a feature in the Dialer Settings for flip to either Dismiss call or Mute the Ringer. flip to speaker would be nice to have. Have you posted the feature request on Slim forum ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Grab the latest beta Gapps. It has the updated search with TRDS. There is an answer to speaker if in the full screen glowpad, swipe down to answer to speaker.

I played with that but it didn't do anything by using the app texdroider.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
On of the unique features of Slimroms (a slightly annoying oddity in my opinion, but I digress) is that its DPI settings are smaller than standard. There are a number of ways to easily rectify it. My preference is to use this app to set it back to the GS3 standard of 320. I've never understood the reason for the lower DPI, but that's offset by the Rom's quality and stability.

That's possibly due to innate nature of Nova Launcher and the wallpaper I guess. Another reason is that many users do use S3 as a Phablet.
