Ok, i did it with trickstermod, thanks,hope this works..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Yep....new weekly DOES NOT work with my Uconnect Ram bluetooth.....dirty flash, clean flash, new download, all with same results. It loses the current connection, says not bluetooth in range. Deleted old connection, same results.. first time SlimKat has done this to me in a long time. Back to 5.8.......works fine!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks.

I was actually referring to the different issue. One where, when you turned Bluetooth On, Location Service also turned on and vice Versa.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Groot:
Bluetooth doesn't work, you can turn it on but you can't be scanned and you cannot pair.

Since there is no d2att in the slim downloads is this d2lte or i9330 or what?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Groot:
D2lte, d2lte builds were meant for the whole d2 variants

ISIS / Soft Card

Hello,

I am currently using CM 10.2.1 and would like to try this ROM. Before I switch, does any one know if ISIS/Soft Card payment app will work or can be made to work in this ROM? To make that app work on a custom ROM, we need to patch some files but even after following this thread, I could not make it work. The app never gets installed in the first place.

Any help is appreciated. Also, kindly share if you are aware of other ROM's that in which the ISIS/Soft card works without any issues. Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
With version 8 being out for some time now (as I am still running 7.0 stable) is version 8 still beta? I was waiting on the topic to change but was just curious to that. Now with LP coming out for more devices, perhaps that will be pushed to version 9 ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes. Expect a Rehosted Link later today.

8 is Beta. ( will be too unless I can fix Camera Wrapper issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaY_III:
Does that mean we are not getting the final Slimkat stable that was posted about tonight?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Thanks man, things take time and I know you'll gett'er when the time is right. I am still rocking strong on version 7, basically seems needles to upgrade its been rock solid ! Looking forward to the updates :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
What exactly is the issue with the camera? My mother-in-law is having problems with stock TW and I'm thinking of flashing SlimKat for her.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Since Its the last one, I am inclined to let it be as a stable despite this issue.

SlimLP is around the corner.

I am pretty much short of pulling my hair out. :rolleyes:

Shift to Video mode on Stock Camera and then do even a minute of video shooting, Change back to Camera Mode. The App is stuck. If you go back to Camera later, you'd get the error message "Unable to connect to Camera".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gvsukids:
Don't use stock camera. Try nexus camera, or open camera
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Are you saying, with either of these apps plus latest weekly, you have ZERO trouble doing Video Recording and doing photos ?

If so it'd HUGHLY reduce my troubleshooting area.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brttwilliams:
That would be a yes, seamless transition from front to back cameras....

I use Google camera...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gvsukids:
Yes, using nexus camera
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
I use an app called ' A Better Camera ' With all my CM builds that seem to have photo and recording issues with the camera (past / present / future ) seems to work really well, I actually like it. Let me know if you have questions
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amf66:
Using Google camera I have had no issues with switching between video recording and taking pictures.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Google Camera Locked up for my D2TMO. But It could be that I have a Customized Weekly Plus custom Kernel.

Good to know. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brttwilliams:
I use BMS beta from 11/09, but not a custom weekly... :eek:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] gvsukids:
Using that camera I've caused lockups when switching to video and back to single shot.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brttwilliams:
That's what I get for opening my big mouth, I did a video to single shot conversion and it just did the "cannot connect to camera" message... First time though... so I don't know if I did something wrong since then...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
So sometimes my ringtones become "Unknown" and I have to reselect them. is this a common issue? Seems like it happens if the phone crashes.

Edit: Rebooting the phone in any way seems to cause the ringtones to become "Unknown".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
I have only very rarely had this issue (like every 3 or 4 months) and I have flashed almost every single weekly (most dirty flashes).

Phone gets rebooted at leat once a week, sometimes twice. Likely is an app combination issue rather than being intrinsic to the basic build.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
Well after a proper reboot now it won't detect the SD card through my phone properly. It all seems to work fine on my PC. I'm backing it up for a reformat just to see. Not sure what is going on but this is the 3rd time it has happened.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Is it possible your SD card is going bad?

It's baconnn!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
Bad SD was my first concern but it seems like its only ringtone issues. I can listen to my music, see pictures, watch videos on the SD card, ETC.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Put your ringtones on internal storage. It's best to do that anyway.

It's baconnn!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Yep.....I keep a ringtone and notification folder as i like it on external sd card....just move it over to internal and set permissions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
It's gotten worse. Now nothing is working. I even reformatted the SD and moved the stuff back. Nothing seems to be able to read it but it works fine on my PC and shows good health. My friend seems to think my media scanner is malfuncitoning so I'm going to try a fresh format.

Edit: I can't backup anything even to the internal now. It just isn't working. I wish I knew what happened.

Reflashing the latest stable 7.0 seems to have worked fine. Such an upset to have to redo everything though. It finds all media without an issue again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] echelon64:
So I just installed the latest stable on my SGH-I747 and:

-Home button doesn't work

Went to Settings > Navigation > Enable custom but I still can't get that to work.

-Menu in Notifications bar doesn't work.

I press the icon on the top right and nothing happens.

Any ideas?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] horga_83:
I suggest you download the image again, do a complete wipe of all partitions cache, dalvik etc and re-intsall.

I have it installed on an SGH-I747 and it works well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] echelon64:
Just re-did download and reflash., and got a soft brick. Meh. Guess I'll try one more go or try another ROM.

Using PhilZ touch recovery, could that be an issue?

Reflashed and I'm stuck in some kind of bootloop:

Just shows the samsung logo for a sec, shows the slimkat logo, and then reboots into recovery.

Guess I'll Odin back to Stock and try it again.

Edit 2:

Okay, Odin back to stock, installed TWRP via Odin, placed d2tl2e slimkat zip and gapps full in root of /sdcard of phone storage and reflashed. Glad to say everything works.

Very nice.

Any recommended kernels for this phone?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wvhellbilly333:
Philz Tough is no longer supported, that could Bevan issue, I been using TWRP 2.8.1.0 without any problems...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] echelon64:
I got everything working and I used latest TWRP to get it going, even flashed the latest lean kernel (9.17 I think) and the phone is smooth. I experience a bit of lag though while in calendar though with both cyanogenmod kernel provided and LK. Anyway to go about fixing that?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Djinn23:
I have seen this even the reader/Sim riser card in the going bad. If you sees no improvement I would reseat and/or consider replacing. It's a cheap part if you do it yourself or a local so will charge between 35 and 70 to do it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
Possible. Over a month ago the phone said the sim was ejected which I have never seen it do before. Figured it just bugged out because I rebooted it and it was fine till this. It is an old S3. Maybe an upgrade wouldn't hurt soon. But so far everything is perfect again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] echelon64:
Such a nice rom but the whole experience seems laggy. Using latest Chrome on this ROM, trying to view this forum just lags like crazy.

Anyone else experience this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
No lag for me on any slimkat..
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wvhellbilly333:

Where's the twrp file?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] llcooljay:
Hey Guys, I haven't played with this phone before. I had rooted my old Galaxy S,but I have just not been interested in doing the S3 until I recently started having huge lag problems. I rooted it using Odin and all was good after a few tries and battery pulls. I just installed SlimKat and it appears that I have lost root access now. I have tried many times to pull the battery as it loads but to no success. Am I missing something, or is there an easier way to regain root?

Never mind I figured out how to enable it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaY_III:
If you haven't rooted for a while you might have missed this, it's of by default.

Goto dev options and simply turn it on
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
It's happening again. After a reboot my ringtones and message tones go to UNKNOWN and I have to reset everything. I guess I'll have to try another rom and see if that solves it. This was not an issue till 4.4.4. I was fine on 4.4.2. After another reboot again it can't find my music anymore.

After another reboot and about 5 minutes my music shows up again in apps and the phone can use ringtones on the SD card. This is just seriously weird.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graewulf1:
I would recommend a total wipe and reinstall of everything. I doubt your issue is room related. more than likely the issue us an app you installed. Also, SD cards do go bad. Try moving the functions and music to internal memory.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
Unfortunately I've already done so. Nothing is on my phone different than any other rom. My music does show up after a few minutes on boot. Putting the ringtones on the internal memory also solved that issue. It's just never something that has been an issue for me. It works ok for now but it seems like something is preventing the phone from reading the SD on boot for priority for sure.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graewulf1:
Android does a rescan of the SD card on boot. This can take a little while. Also, I have had 2 SD cards fail on me with similar symptoms prior to failure. High battery usage is another sign due to taking a long time to scan. You may want to replace that memory card.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diakonos:
In Settings - Advanced, I have "MediaScanner behavior on boot" set to "Do not scan media".
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] imcol:
Guys, when I flash the Rom, the default mobile network is set to 3g. How can i get LTE back?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshReuben:
Might need to update your modem.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Herox:
I was thinking about it. The phone does instant scan my SD card though. When I put it in the phone after unmounting it takes about 10 seconds before it shows it's been mounted and the exact amount of used and free space. The phone just cannot write or read the SD properly. I have scanned it for errors and such and it comes out perfectly clean. Writing files to it on my PC is quick and painless. It's either my phone is dying or this rom is giving me issues.

Also I have no issue reading/writing to the SD card through the phone via USB. I really like this rom and would like to solve this issue. I can't even update games that want to use external space as well as internal.

New discovery. The phone has no problems at all moving apps between the micro sd and the internal memory. I went into APPS and moved something to the external SD and it went perfectly. Yet other apps act like they cannot write to the SD.

Stable 9.0 is up!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshReuben:
Don't see a new 4.4.4 gapps beyond the December 2 version. Assuming that it's the latest stable version?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikehd1959:
Sweet! Just flashed the 12/9 weekly (8.20) - a dirty flash should work ok, right? Ok, read the OP and found in the slimrom install directions that it may work, may not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
I did a total wipe.....just me since it is prob last release of kk.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Are we to use Gapps for 8.x ? (for 9.0 Stable) I don't see a gapps for 9.x posted yet, wouldn't mind installing 9.0, I have been on 7.0 stable for quite some time, and really have had no issues at all. Wonder how much better 9.0 is ?

http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/1150-addons4-4

If I flash this rom, chances are I will have to flash the volume booster again too ?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2563209
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mikehd1959:
I'm wondering the same on 9.0 vs the last weekly build. Some comment in the 9.0 changelog regarding camera caught my eye:

camera: Update HAL API versions and fix warnings (HEAD, m/kk4.4-caf, github/kk4.4) [Arne Coucheron]2014-12-11

Seems like the volume is boosted in the 8.20 weekly - likely that 9.0 stable will inherit this I would think.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Alright cool, I'll wait for some more comments , and gapps 9.0 to post up before I do anything, as being on 7.0 stable for many months, it's such a solid build I am in no rush to switch yet :) Great to see new version is out, I am sure a lot are thankful for that !
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
I used last stable mini gapps...no issues. Running great. Now to wait on official slim lp!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JoshReuben:
Coming from 8.18, I had to clean install due to Play store fc's. Got everything flashed and restored, only had to clean data and reinstall the Amazon appstore. All seems nice and stable, other than the wife glaring at me ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evolver10:
Can't seem to get LTE to stick in 9.0. Keeps switching back to 3g. Running latest lean kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Djinn23:
The Sim card shares a board with the riser card that has the sd

This is odd. I bet a log would show the errors. I doubt it is the ROM but would be interested in your results should you try another. So that point in time and what you're having the issue with your ringtones, able to access the s_d card you that specific point time? I bet not. I also still like my theory of the riser card going. I think mine was a $6 part.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] canodroid15:
Easy tap lte, 3g, lte & it'll change just wait & It'll stick but you have to do this after each reboot. I've had to do this on all of the LP roms . toggle back & forth between the two until lte(preferred network) sticks

Stable 9 and Gmail

I tried with 3 different e mail clients to have my g mail and the process stops in the configuration. I did manual setup with imap and smtp settings per google and still does not work. Originally i thought it was the e mail app i was using but tried the one that comes with the rom and one from the market and still same problem. All other e mails yahoo hotmail etc work fine.

Any thoughts?

On another note my casting with the tv is now working with this version 9 compared to 7.

---------- Post added at 11:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 PM ----------

I have the same issue with 7. All of sudden it will turn into unknown ringtone.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graewulf1:
Out of curiosity, if you are using Gmail, why are you using pop or Imap? The gmail app works really beautifully.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
To All the Users of Slim on this Device -

I wanted to share my thoughts as the Developer for Slim on this device. I have always tired to stand up to the reputation and impression in your minds that Slim Rom is always, rugged, dependable and reliable even in Weeklies. This is why I have a set of Testers who help me evaluate every important build including OS Upgrades. I do not prefer to unleash half baked builds that can't be used as Daily Drivers even by those who know what they are doing. If its not a Daily Driver for my D2TMO, I won't ask you to make it. Hope that makes sense.

Having said that, I do indeed have had Official Alpha Version for SlimLP. I may not have asked any of you to test because its was not ready with known issues. As of now, I have it running on my Phone but still there are couple of issues Such as

No stable Root

Stock Camera does not work. (Open Camera Does)

I personally don't think this is worthy of Weekly. I;d like to solicit opinions from you guys If I should make a Weekly knowing this is the case. Please there shall not be Buyer's Remorse later or any complaining that this is a bad ROM or not ready. So be thoughtful before rushing for the next Android Version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] graewulf1:
Personally, the camera issue plague every lp rom for this device. Third party cameras do seem to work (I'm running another lp rom on my d2att now). Don't let Camera hold you up. when the rest is stable, I say release it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Perseus,

I appreciate your view on the weeklies. They are fun to play with but some load them up and start wishing (and asking) for this, that, and the other.............

I think having a few testers and getting a good ROM out is prob the best route???

Just my opinion. :silly:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tbird57:
I agree 100 percent
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
Thank you so much for SlimKat, it is the best ROM I have used over the devices I have. I was looking for a SlimKat for the S5, but there doesn't seem to be many CM builds for that phone .... yet. That is sort of off topic, the Slim team does an amazing job on this ROM I will never use a different ROM probably going forward, it has been the best experience of any ROM since I have been doing this 5ish years ago

Thank you for all the hard work ! :)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
I would suggest holding off. It does not matter how many disclaimers you wrap it in. Fools will rush in and then demand help/fixes for the known issues.

Once it is more stable, if the only issue is the stock camera, I would think it is release worthy, since 3rd party cameras provide a solid workaround.

Thats my 2 cents....

Thanks again for all of your hard work. It is VERY appreciated.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaY_III:
I have used some pretty broken ROMS in the past that the devs said were good enough...

However I find the best way to go about this and hold onto the great reputation you have is the wife test. Would your wife be able to use this on a daily basis?

People well not read you're release notes, I know my wife won't, and will miss your camera work around. But after people asking here over and over again we can point them into the right direction.

Now as for the root issue. That is a major one that will have some upset people.

It's your call in the end, but if it were me, unless I feel it's good enough for the wife to run daily, it fails
