Any one who has issues installing Apps from Play Store and facing the Error Message

Please mention the exact Apps you had tried and seen this error.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brttwilliams:
Games mostly, I can tell you the specific games, but I was able to get it fixed by moving my TiBU over to internal, removing the program reference from the android directory, unmounting the SD and installing the apps directly onto internal memory... Then I restored data to the apps and moved TiBU back to the SD...

Bit complicated but it fixed it...

Would there be any issues with the encryption Protocol Router uses ? For ex. some Routers implement WPA2 Enterprise or just WPA Personal with TKIP+AES. The S3's wireless chip does not like some of these implementations. Does your S3 connect successfully in that case ?

I just installed SlimKat 7.0 stable from stock 4.4.2 on my Galaxy Siii (I747). I notice that the font size is much smaller in my apps. Is there a way to restore it to the stock size? Also, how do I restore the icon size on my home pages to the stock size? I've already modified the grid size to allow for larger icons.

I'm wondering if this is a dpi issue. If so, how do I restore the stock value? Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] WhoWhere:
You either need to modify your build.prop or you can download the app: textdroider from Google Play. Stock DPI is 320.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks a lot. I just edited my post wondering if it was a dpi issue before I read yours.Just installed textdroider; it worked like a charm at 320.

BTW, 320 made fonts a bit too large! Is there a table somewhere on valid DPI values? Also, what was the default SlimKat DPI for reference?

Thanks again
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
SlimKat Default in 4.3 was the same as Stock, which in turn is 320. There isn't a table for values. You can play around the values till you find one you like. Just note the smaller the number the smaller will be the text size as you limit Dots on the Screen.

To All. Stable won't be released this time. Expect a weekly. Perhaps next time.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flroots:
Thanks to both you and WhoWhere for the great help. I settled on 300. I like this ROM so much I'm thinking of installing it on our other S3, a Sprint. Looks like this is the correct site:

I've recently installed 7.0 stable ans it has been good so far.

Two issues to report:

1 - Although it will charge via USB, there is no way I can make my PC read the files on the phone. I tried different ports, USB debugging on and off, reboot, different cables but it has been impossible so far. When I connect my Nexus 10 on the same port with the same cable it works ok. Am I missing something?

2 - I do not use my voicemail box and there is no way to erase the voicemail box notification by just wipping it off, I'm not calling my voicemail to just do that. Is there another way to get rid of it? On DU it was possible to just erase it from the notifications drawer.

Other than that it is a great ROM.

Thanks!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
1 - This sometimes happens on Dirty Flash. Please do a factory Reset and then flash.

2 - This is a Carrier notification. Switch your Voicemail to other online services such as Google Voice.

I have a Linksys E2500 router. As I mentioned, both phones have same ROM and gapps -- mine connects to the home network with no problem, but hers needs a reboot to connect.

Might not matter for much longer, since we're both eligible for upgrades next month. :)

I installed the 8.0 weekly last night and noticed I kept getting the couldn't install on USB or SD card error. This is a first.... I did a clean install followed all instructions. I mean, I found a "solution" which is to unmount the card and then install the apps, but really, is that a real solution? I also found something about deleting a temp file but it doesn't exist. Anyone have any idea? I came from stable 7 and had no such issues with any of the many ROMs that I have flashed except for this time around.

k, im at a loss. ive searched this thread, and the forum, and cant find a definite solution.

When ever i try and send a mms text, messaging force closes. i did find the adaway issue, and disabled all ad blocking on the phone. a reboot will allow usually one mms to go through, then it starts fc'ing again. ive wiped, clean install, davliks and cache.

im on nightly 8.0 with latest gapps, tried using august gapps, but google services kept fc'ing.

Ideas?

btw regular texts are fine, just wehn sending mms

Hmm. I just clean wiped and reinstalled 8.0. Using QuickPic to delete a few photos, and all the sudden it's telling me that it can't, because android since 4.4 won't allow an app to write to external storage. I SWEAR I deleted some from there last week no problem. Am I nuts?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Are you using hangouts or stock messaging ?

Kitkat WILL ALLOW any app to write to external SD. Provided the App developer used correct APIs to write in the designated folder. If its a lazy dev wanting to write all over the place, then they are out of luck.

When are we getting slimkat v8 stable?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] powerserge1:
It says Slimkat 8 stable on the homepage but shows up as a weekly on the download section. Little bit confusing but I am assuming it's stable.

Sent from my SGH-I747M using Xparent Skyblue Tapatalk 2
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
It says that it will be a weekly for a list of devices, including S3. I assume there are some kown issues on those devices such that they are not yet branding it as stable. Someone also mentioned that in the thread.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
Exactly that. Same build, but bugs (particularly the install on SD bug) prevent it from getting labeled stable for this device.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ICULQQKn:
8.0 has been rock stable for me. Except I had an issue with my bluetooth headset (Plantronic M165). I could make calls from it fine. Problem occurred on incoming calls. After answering call, there was not voice traffic over the headset from either me or the caller even though it said I was connected up to headset. I ended up having to use BMS kernel 8/03 which resolved the issue. Not sure if others have had this issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] evolver10:
8.0 was a no go for me. Several apps wouldn't work. Lost data. Tried different kernels nothing worked. Went back to 7.0 with leankernel 9.10.

My wife has the AT&T variant and I have the Sprint variant. We're both running SlimKat stable 7.0 at the moment. We both set texdroider_dpi to 320 (ie, stock), but the font size is different ie, larger on the AT&T variant. Any ideas what's going on?

Edit: I figured out the font size issue. Under Settings/Display the AT&T was set to large font whereas the Sprint was set to Normal.

Sure thing, should I upgrade the modem or is that related to what your theory is?

Or since I'm running 4.3 firmware, will I need to upgrade the firmware first?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Don't upgrade. At least not due to this issue.

IMHO, unrelated to the issue, 4.2 modem might be better for you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] J M L:
I had the no-calls problem on 8.2 also. I started on the MJB baseband, and upgraded to NE4 (which I'd been meaning to do anyway) hoping it would fix the problem, but it did not.

Thanks for that info man, I'll just be holding off on the upgrade and wait on Perseus to share what he finds out
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
There's an interesting find on VZW thread that points to CM indeed making you upgrade. Given my own hypochondriac tendency towards the new Bootloader with EFuse, Durned if I will as you guys to upgrade.

All of you can change to Modems till 4.2. But those with older bootloader better not flash 4.3 or newer modems for the Risk of Brick.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brttwilliams:
I opted to do an incremental upgrade.... Its advised on page 11 of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2856914

After the upgrade to 4.2 I rebooted and made sure I had full operability... Then flashed up to 4.3 and did the same.... I'm not really keen on doing the next upgrade just because of the number of failures referenced in that same thread above...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diakonos:
I had dirty-flashed 8.0 running fine (from dirty 7.9) and when I tried to dirty 8.2 I got multiple issues:

1. Play Services stopped working and I could not get my Google account removed and re-added (using full gapps 282 with 8.0 and 8.2 SlimKat).

2. Not until I checked this XDA forum after having the Play Services issue did I check to see if my APNs were all gone -- but they were -- on 8.2. I was connected to home wifi after 8.2 update so I didn't notice my APN wasn't set (and it was VERY early in the morning so no calls in/out).

I tried simply reverting dirty to 8.0 (using previous steps: cache reset, dalvik reset, format /system) with previously working 8.0 and gapps 282 but still had the Play Services issue.

I ended up getting working again by using 8.0 SlimKat and latest full gapps BETA 294 to resolve the Play Services issue (although I was about to clean flash -- but didn't want to as it was already 3 AM). I was about clean flash if that didn't work but I didn't want to since I couldn't get a backup of my SMS messages to run while I had no working Google account.

Lastly, I switched to ART about six weeks ago but have changed back to Dalvik as I didn't seem to notice a huge improvement in apps behavior (maybe I'm just not paying attention). A major benefit of Dalvik I see is while multiple re-flashing was happening last night, it was taking about 15 mins or more to "upgrade my apps" using ART with every flash and Dalvik does the same step in a fraction of the time (about 190 apps).

In case [MENTION=3639717]Perseus71[/MENTION] wants to know, baseband is "I747UCDLK3"
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DanKNugs:
Data does not work

As the title says, my data connection for my D2ATT does not work. I recently updated from SlimKAT 8.0 to 8.2 and updated BMS Kernel from 09/25 to 09/30 as of yesterday, has not worked since. Tried a clean install using the same files, it started working but when I turned on wifi it would not come back on when wifi is off. Did some reading and tried updating my Baseband, following the incremental steps on a different thread, and that did not work. Currently on 4.3 I747UCUEMJB for baseband.

Any advice?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brttwilliams:
Have you dropped back to 8.0?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I don't believe this would be necessory. I will keep working on the issue. But I might not be able to get a solution in time for next weekly between club scouts and field trips.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DanKNugs:
Alright, I power cycled my phone while on lunch, and now my data connection is not working again. My phone can still make calls and send text messages, but nothing data related. Will try format and install without the BMS 09/30 kernel when I get home. Weird issue.

Edit: after sending and receiving some SMS messages my data turned on. I was seeing full bars but no data indicator and then h+ just showed up and it works now.

Edit2: philz format for new ROM installed just 8.2 and gapps full 294. I have LTE back, can send and receive SMS, can make calls, but cannot receive. If someone calls me it rings for them but I get nothing. Any tips.

Edit3: Clean installed 8.0, everything is working fine. 8.2 for some reason does not like receiving calls on my phone.
