Thanks, it appears to be the same as adaway tho. Adblocker plus is really the best I've used as it knocks out 98% of ads in apps and 100% of them in browser. Just wish they'd figure out the mms deal or provide a warning upon installation.

I appreciate the heads up! If you happen to run across another ad blocking app which funnels traffic through is servers vs using host files, please do post about it as I'm sure others are looking for one as well

No I am not running xposed. The only apps that require root that i have are titanium root checker and i have super su... i had a problem with titanium .. had lost root but then i got it back... could it be an app that does not require root? Do not have any mods.

OP UPDATE - Weekly Release 6.2 is Out.

Loaded and running great with BMS 7.1 kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ffinger:
Hello my wife is having some camera issues after coming to slim 5 official release with the slim kernel and gapps she is on the telus sgh-i747m and came from stock. The camera is taking very fuzzy unfocused pictures under all lighting conditions and doesn't seem to be affected by different camera settings. Any ideas help or ideas are much appreciated. I have read the whole thread and didn't see anything that pertained to this issue. Great rom thought can't wait for slim to be stable and working for my s5. Thanks for your time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
Camera quality on AOSP roms(like slim and cm) will always be worse than stock roms but it shouldn't be blurry. Is she on stable 5 or coming from 5? If she's on it update to stable 6 first.

If that doesn't fix the issue try another camera app (play store has some for free I use the Google camera app), just to make sure it's not the app.

If that still doesn't work, try tapping the screen for manual focus, does that work?

Also make sure the glass is clean and doesn't have smudges on it (that was the issue one time with me and it took me too long to realize it).

If none of those help, then you may want to flash a stock rom to check if it is hardware or software.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Ffinger:
Excellent ideas and will try that right away. Thanks for you time sir/madam will report back

Ok one last thing...where is theme selector?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
There is no theme selector for slim yet, they are still talking internally on whether or not to bring it in. The OP has a couple xposed modules which may work for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I remember a while back when Slim didn't include a recent task remover in its newer versions. They said that the function is unnecessary and may do more harm than good. I guess they knew what they were writing about. I came across this article that provides a pretty good explanation: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/ram-boosters-task-killers-bad-android/#readsoruce_bottom
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] SkVergil:
I'm running the latest stable release of this ROM but I don't see any options to change the dpi of the phone. I'm not into the lcd density it has, I'm more into the 320 stock one. How can I change it?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Build prop editor from play store or built into ROM tools.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I use the app "resolution change / Density". Simple, free, and works like a charm.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Textdroider_dpi from the Play Store always works great for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Request to all Rom users -

I can't post a poll as such. But would like to know your opinion.

What do you think of a change of the Screen Resolution from 245 (Current Default) to 320 ?

To those who don't know, the smaller the number, the smaller the text and icons on the screen and more space for you to play. The bigger the number, the bigger will be your icons and text.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
I ALWAYS set mine to 320 dpi!! It's too easy to do to make a big deal of it. IMHO
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
I do like 320, but I have mine set to 280 right now. For some reason at 320 my device lags when switching between homescreen and GNow when using GNL and having TRDS applied. It doesn't occur at 290 and below, anyone else have this issue or is it just me?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
My preference is for 320. Although I've seen explanations regarding the lower DPI, to me it doesn't make sense for this device. Like tallsilver I think it's easy enough to change. However, there have been casual flashers on this site who didn't know what to do. My suggestion is to make it 320 or at least provide a quick, built-in, easy to use method to change it back to 320.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fr3d0x:
I always use 320..

Hey guys thinking of flashing this to my gf s3 was just wandering if the search function in the dialer was working? That is one of the functions she really likes on the ROM she is on now but the one she running now is getting laggy and BT doesn't work. Thanks for any input. I know my signature says galaxy nexus but I was asking for my gf because she has an at&t s3 and within a couple months I'm getting one also so it gives me a chance to figure out what I want to run on mine when I get it.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Under Interface > Status bar > Brightness control ... is there any way to get that working that you can adjust brightness from status bar. There are a lot of ROMs that feature this, however 1 out of 5 ROMs the feature works. Wanted to provide feedback with that. Thank you :)

Other then that, setting up this ROM from scratch right now, and I have to say it is amazing so far. The DPI alone I love, and everything seems REALLY FAST. Can't wait to see how stable it is once I get everything installed and setup. Looking forward to it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
It works perfectly for me. You have to have auto brightness turned off to be able to check the box, and off to be able to slide across the status bar to change brightness.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Hm weird. Yah I know that you have to have Auto OFF for it to work, but doesn't seem to work. You using the I747 or I747M ? I love the brightness slider feature from 4.3.1 but seems after that build for both my phones, the feature does not work :-/

When I change the Text To Speech to HD British Male, the voice stays the same for Google Now.

And running great...BMS...art..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I've had a problem with BMS and this Rom. when I used ROM Toolbox to underclock and undervolt, a reboot resets it to the original settings. I don't have that problem with LK or Quantum.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Typically caused by conflicting CPU Tweaker apps. Remove others stick to one.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Thanks. Don't really know if I have a competing one, as Rom Toolbox is the only one I use.

Also, I decided to reflash without a custom kernel to see if the issue has been resolved regarding the screen flicker when my device is docked and powered off.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
I use ROM Toolbox for a lot of things but not kernel tweaking. I use trickster, BUT having said that, I don't underclock or undervolt anymore. Just leave it as is and seems to be working well.

I did run into a problem trying to set up themes with SK 6.4.......could not get it to boot with xposed installed. So for now, no themes for me. Might try some things later just because........:highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
So that's the culprit. I've been having boot problems since loading the latest weekly,and it must be because of xposed. It would boot after I did things like uninstalling the keyboard (to install a custom one from Shaftamle) and invoking xposed. It would boot then,but get hung with subsequent boots. I'm reflashing now, but it seems a bit buggy and still doesn't want to flash properly. I may go back to Carbon or my old weekly backup until a new weekly comes out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
I did a complete clean install after having the problems..........working well now, just no themes. Nandroids sure save a lot of work when stuff happens!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jpcdeux:
This was on 412 when I got it. I updated to current bl/modem. Cm11 works fine. Maybe I caught a bad DL

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Didn't want to do a clean install unless I have to. Will stick with Carbon or older weekly until it gets straightened out. I like Slim for its stability but understand that things happen with weeklies.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
Hold the Vol- and power button
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
First you will have to Customize Power Menu. That's under Settings > Navigation > Global Menu.Once done, you can access Power menu to take a screenshot. Alternatively, you could also enable SlimPie Controls.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
I just did the process again from my clean installation. When I installed xposed the phone rebooted fine, BUT when I chose a theme with HK Themer, installed the theme.....hung up on boot. It could be that Slim is doing some internal changes reading for their own theme engine. ??????

Did a factory reset, wipe everything, installed my backup, and all is well again. I can do without the theme.

In your case, if you uninstalled xposed, it still leaves stuff that only a clean install will take care of. Was in mine at least.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Did you try XTheme Manager ? Also try rebooting after Xposed framework is completely installed by itself.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Did not try XTheme. It failed on 6.2. I did reboot after installing Xposed and all was ok. Failed after installing the theme. I may try with XTheme again........ Right not I've got Task's ROM installed just trying it out...

Thanks.:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I did a restore from a previous weekly and re-dirty-flashed the latest one, build 6.4. I was finally able to boot and install xposed with no issues. I tested the docking with the power off this afternoon, and it seems that my flickering issue may have been resolved. I'll dock tonight when I go to bed and see if it's resolved.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hwy28spur:
I running 6.4 weekly almost without problem. I'm having a problem with my WiFi connection.

I'm hoping not to have to do a clean reinstall, but I'm thinking that may be what it takes. Wanted to ask first.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Do you have custom Kernel ? What else have you run/installed/flashed that would mod the kernel ?

Hello, I was wondering if there is any way to add toggles back to the notification drawer. I have my tiles set up but its just not as quick as toggles. Also is there a spot to adjust the tile settings? For example for sound I only use vibrate and sound and vibrate. Thanks for any help with this.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Holmes108:
I like the smaller resolution
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Quick Settings is a slew of Toggles. Google introduced it to replace Notification area toggles. If you longpress a QuickSetting Toggle, most of the time you'd go to the corresponding setting. They can be customized under Settings > Interface > Notifications & QS Drawer.

Request to Those who may have Boot Issue -

If you can't boot after flashing latest 6.4 update, please see if you have got Xposed framework installed. If yes, remove it and then re-flash the Rom. It will boot. Also, if you have TWRP, update it to most recent version 2.7.1.0 if you did not have most recent version.

If you still can't boot. Please PLEASE do me a favor and follow the steps bellow to get a logcat.

I do know with the phone not booted, you can't get a logcat. However there is another way.

1. Turn off the phone and connect it to a PC.

2. Install ADB if not installed already. This thread is of great help. [TOOL] [WINDOWS] ADB, Fastboot and Drivers - 15 seconds ADB Installer v1.3

3. That thread will also install correct drivers if need be. Once you know ADB is successfully installed, run the command

adb -d logcat >mylogfile.txt

4. Now power on the phone. It may get stuck at the Slim Boot Screen. That's ok. Give it a few minutes. See if the mylogfile.txt is getting filled up. Power off the phone then attach that log file to a post here.

Make sure to say @Perseus71 in your post to attract my attention. :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Holmes108:
I had troubles booting. I'm back on 6.2, but I'll try again when I have a sec, and do the logcat.

FYI, I tried the first build of 6.4 dirty, couldn't boot.

Realized there was a second build of 6.4, flashed dirty, couldn't boot.

Fully wiped, installed 6.4, and it booted. Did a batch restore through titanium, and later on my phone happened to freeze, so I rebooted and it was then stuck on the Slimkat screen again. So I don't know if it could possibly be an app I have installed, but it wasn't xposed.

I don't have anything particularly interesting installed. No tweaks or anything. Just apps.

Edit: Also my phone doesn't generally give me issues with ROMS. Haven't had an issue in quite some time on this ROM or any other. Oh, but I am on TWRP 2.7.0.0, so I'll sort that out too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please Don't do Batch Restore in Titanium. It will ALWAYS lead to problems without exception. Restore those apps that you care for. On a case by case basis. DO NOT Restore apps or their data that were previously or are System Apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] poopsmith777:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
When I do a restore from Titantium, I pick-&-choose. I restore data for certain user apps, e.g. Aqua Mail, Dolphin Browser, etc. The former restores my accounts, and the latter restores my bookmarks. I haven't had issues this way, though, do the points raised here, I don't do a batch restore.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Never found user app data restore to be a problem...........but I don't restore data for system apps.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Well, after running well for a few days, all of a sudden SlimKat won't complete a boot. I tried a restore and reboot to no avail. My backup of Carbon reboots fine. I then restored SlimKat and did a dirty flash, including reloading of Gapps, and it's stuck on the boot screen. I can't blame this on Xposed, because the reflash would have disabled it. Is there anything short of a clean flash that might fix the problem? Going back to Carbon until I get a resolution or have time to do a clean flash.

Update: Before I cancelled the boot, after about 5-6 minutes, it seems to be coming back. Gosh, that's a long boot for a dirty flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
If you had a ton of apps, then after a dalvik wipe, things would take large time as dalvik rebuilds.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Not that many, but maybe that was it. Don't know what was preventing the reboot before. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
I use nav daily.Often 3 or 4 sessions per day. Had serious stability issues a couple of weeklies ago, and ended up doing a complete wipe, clean install. That seemed to resolve most of the freezing/app crashing. I get the odd freeze, especially if nav is running for more that approximately 1/2 an hour but stability is much better.

Note while nav was freezing multiple times a day, it only caused a complete reboot for me once or twice.

Does the app behave oddly prior to the reboot? Typically I would get lagging on the map updates/scrolling or repeated "gps signal lost" messages (even though I was under open sky with clear view of sats (in locations that I usually had no issues with signals), before the app would either freeze up completely or crash. I also could maintain continuous statelite lock, as verified by a GPS Status app, in the same locations that Google Maps was having issues.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] atthebeach:
I never had freezes, the phone actually reboots with no warning, say sometimes 15 minutes in, but sometimes it runs for hours until it reboots. I had the gps signal lost effect once, with 6.4, but that was resolved after a reboot and didn't re-occur so far

I'll see if I can get a last_kmsg next time it happens (usually I was a little too busy with driving when it happened, and by time I stopped I didn't think about it...).

I do have some exposed modules, and I'm hoping it's not one of those phone toys...
