Ok, now I am curious. Please check this for me.

1. Does the sticker behind the battery really say SGH-I747 ?

2. What happens when you fully wipe down. Flash just the Rom and Gapps. DO NOT RESTORE a single thing ?

Can you see if you could restore the TiBU apps one by one and reboot between ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Yes. I got it from AT&T almost 2 years ago.

I can possible give that a try, but I need stuff restored.

That would take a awfully long time. As much as I like Slim, if I can't get a simpler solution, I may just stick with Spirit or Carbon for the time being.

Update: I did a new clean flash of the newest weekly. I restored everything except Xposed and Mr. Silent. The former I was using to change the theme (HK Theme module). The latter I had recently installed. It will allow you to set your phone to silent based on times or calendar events. Since those were the most recent apps I installed, I started with them. No "systemui" message so far (though I may regret writing this, since that may generate the error ;) ). We'll see. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
In case it is Mr. Slient, I use "Silence Premium", which does the same thing, silent based on schedules and calendar.... It plays fine with SlimKat for me.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radmacks:
when I was rom shopping and jumping between asop PAC touchwiz and cm it messed my phone hard. Tried to restore from recovery and it was a no go to. The only thing that brought it truly back to bug free was a full restock to factory fresh.

This was just my personal experience. short of trying this,

First re-download the ROM, modem and bootloader. verify all checksums are correct. Full Wipe and flash. If still having problems restock.

Your issue is modem or boot loader related probably.

Good luck I feel your frustration. I have been there brotha
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I may give it a shot. The enhanced quiet hours in SlimKat may be sufficient. If I need to do it based on appointments, I'll give that a try.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
I use tasker to do the same thing... Plus tons more. If you're savvy enough to use roms you're savvy enough for tasker!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
In case u missed it...7.2.1 is on the website.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] unibombz:
I am still on build 6 and it has been working fine... guess I should update to 7 lol
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Lol.....yep running good for most.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Yes. Since I'm apparently rid of that cursed "systemui" message, it's running well. Right now I'm using with latest version of LeanKernel, and it seems to be doing well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Stock kernel good here! :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] joerolando2701:
Anyone else getting cannot read info in slim ota on 7.0?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jammn:
Skype

Hi. Installed this ROM yesterday and everything been smooth like butter, except SKYPE video calls won't work. It connects for about 15 secs then BOOM... nothing...

Has anyone had a problem using SKYPE with SlimKat 7.0?

Thanks

---------- Post added at 06:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:11 PM ----------

I'm getting "Update: Cannot read SlimOTA properties"

No idea what that means :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
I think the OTA's only work for STABLE releases, although 7.0 should be a stable, I think? Mine also says it can't read properties...I never trust OTA tools anyway so no real loss for me.

I'm still running 7.0, I decided to try LeanKernel and I don't much like it, lots of weird scrolling lag on long pages. If I update to 7.2.1 do I get stock kernel back, or do I need to install separately? I can't find a link to the kernel other than the source.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
When a new Rom is flashed, the kernel that's associated with the Rom is installed as well. If you were to want to keep a custom kernel, it must be flashed each time a Rom is flashed.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Already noted. This will be fixed in next weekly.

You are right SlimCenter only tracks Stable not Weeklies.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
That's what I THOUGHT, but I swear that back a year or more ago when I was still using Task's ROM and whatever non-task kernel that is that everyone tends to use with it, that that other kernel seemed to stick. I suppose it was other incompatibilities shining through.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I have seen some Roms that bake in other custom kernels. It could be that.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Task used KT for awhile....then his own "underwear" kernel. :p
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fr3d0x:
Slimcenter is now working with 7.4 weekly
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
7.4 up and running nicely in stock form!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
In the Weekly that is out, Please look for Slim Center fix to OTA.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Mine checks for updates....give me a big green check mark.....and says my phone is up to date!

That what you want?? :highfive:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks. Yep That's what I was looking for! :good::highfive:

Do Note the Device Name and Device Code Name both should be "d2lte" without the quotes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Any word if the devs are still working toward their own theme engine? Just curious. I've changed some stuff in mine to make it a little less vanilla but would like to get my Cobalt Crimson back!! :p

Yep.....both are correct!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yep work in progress. Patience is Virtue.:laugh:

I do suppose you saw my comment at the bottom of OP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Thanks!! At my age patience is not only a virtue, it is a necessity,:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Hope this is what you want
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Yes. Every time I try to use Xposed it always leads to trouble!! :confused:

Edit: that didn't do right!! Was referring to you OP about the theme engines.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks this is correct. I wanted to make sure, its working ok for everyone.

Question for guys using Quantum Kernel

Hey guys, just flashed in Quantum kernel on SK 7 stable, I just can't seem to find where to change the kernel settings. Searched for the answer but I haven't been able to find it. Anyone know what I'm missing?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
There's an app for that. Several in fact.

From my Tab Pro 8.4
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Aren't you supposed to post on the Kernel's thread ? That way you will have the right audience.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I was able to use HK Theme Manager module in Xposed to load Royal Blue Cobalt. Working well. I thought it might have been the cause of my recent Systemui errors, but apparently not.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Think HK theme world with older themes which are not being updated.. We have to live without theme until Android L
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
I can get it to work (previous versions) but I always had problems after awhile with either HK or Xposed?? I may try it again just for fun:confused:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
One thing I found with Royal Blue Cobalt is with the play store. The description text for an app doesn't show up, I think because for some reason it's trying to display white-on-white. I disabled the theme for that app, and I'm golden.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jammn:
Is there anyway to move the location the send message icon when answering a call from top?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] matrixzone:
Please confirm if other users are facing this issue. While my phone is connected to laptop, only limited folders are shown. I am clean flash v7.4 weekly.. Restarted the PC and mobile, can only see 3 folders. Working perfectly on stock ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fr3d0x:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Very Nice!

So far no bugs at all on my phone..............

Thanks Slim team and maintainer!!:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AzHavicx:
Just flashed newest and g-apps all was looking great, went to use ti_backup and it said I no longer have root. checked this with root checker and root is gone. Restored back to one of my Many ROM backups and tried again and same thing any ideas on this guys. ? *(did full wipe 3times even tried a dirty flash while I was making this post. )
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Find the SuperSU zip on the XDA site, download, and flash.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Did you turn on root in dev options? Tap build until dev options appear.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AzHavicx:
Thanks guys got a SU to flash and will go into dev and make sure root was checked.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Be Aware, if you have SuperSU and Rom's Own Superuser competing, you will have havoc. You can do one or the other.

If you want to keep SuperSU, you will have to Grant it Root one time before it can grant to others.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanuckinPA:
I'm using 7.0-official-5979 and I continually have an issue with the ATT network and data connection dropping off. :confused:

Other than that I like what the ROM has to offer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sdlopez83:
Bump, slame issue
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please check your APN.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanuckinPA:
Mine is set to ATT wap.cingular.

Should it be ATT LTE pta?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes I believe so.Also check preferred network type while you are there. Make sure its set to LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nsmith4:
Ya I think so, I have att and that's my selected APN(the LTE one) and I have no data issues. I think the one you have selected will break data when connected to LTE since that APN is different.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanuckinPA:
The preferred network was set to LTE

Change made - fingers crossed. :good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Though my "Systemui" issue is gone, I seem to have another since flashing the latest 7.4 weekly. Occasionally I get no response when launching apps from the home screens. Touching the icons multiple times does nothing. I also have the Back button configured to launch Quick Boot on long press, and, when the issue surfaces (a few times a day) it doesn't work either. This happens with both Google Now and Action Launcher. I disabled Xposed, but the problem recurred. A reboot restores things until it happens again.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a root cause / cure?

Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes this was reported and I think I have it identified pretty much to the specific changes. Please switch to ART till next weekly.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Done. Thanks for the quick response. I'll see how it goes. Gosh, the boot/upgrade took forever with the switch. What's the difference between ART and Dalvik? That's a couple of levels deeper than my knowledge.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AzHavicx:
Yep.. got it all worked out now, have root back and working thanks for all the info and help guys...

:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] nae10135:
How long is it taking for the first boot / upgrade on a clean flash of sk7.4 - 6137 ? I'm sitting here after 15 minutes after the flash, and i'm still looking at a black screen,
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
More info can be had on the web, but the simplest explanation is that ART and dalvik both translate the code of the app from whatever programming language was used to machine code that the hardware can execute. Dalvik does this mostly in real time. ART does this ahead of time, which is why it takes longer to build at the beginning than dalvik cache, but also why it runs a little smoother and is a little easier on battery.

From my Tab Pro 8.4
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Thanks. I did a search after being lazy and posting the question.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] CanuckinPA:
Nope - that didn't help. I'm still getting no network from time to time, like right now. :mad:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diakonos:
+1

I've noticed this as well. Glad to hear I'm not the only one and a potential resolution is already in the works. I don't run Xposed and stick to default kernel with no tweaks. I can confirm reboot fixes the issue but I'm only seeing the issues every two days or so.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
I've been getting the same issue pretty badly on the last two weeklies, especially and always after using something streaming sound, like Pandora or YouTube. Yesterday I uninstalled and reinstalled Pandora thinking the app got buggy, that didn't do it, but I did backup Nova Launcher, then stop and clear data, and then restore backup, and I haven't had the issue again. Maybe just luck.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
The ART solution has worked so far.

Regarding the network issue floating around, one thing I've experienced for quite a while: If I'm not on wifi and don't have an LTE/4g signal, I can't get data/internet access. I can send and receive calls but don't get data. Is that standard, or is there some setting to allow data even with a lower quality cellular signal?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
Lol. So I decide to look up switching to ART and my phone stops executing anything. In case anyone wonders, to switch to ART, go to developer options and click "choose runtime" and select ART and reboot. Trying it now.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
This happened to me again today. Odd and a little annoying.

Actually, it seems that I'm not getting an LTE signal since switching to the latest build and/or ART. That really hoses up my data access away from WiFi when combined with my issue above. I may have to drop back to an earlier version.

Update: I'm able to get an LTE signal with the previous version.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] AzHavicx:
How's everyone's battery life? Mine kinda sucks. I can be at full charge put phone in my pocket and 1hour later take it out to make a call and I'm at 54% before I even open up the dialer.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
Battery life is decent and unchanged for a long time. Have not heard any outcry about battery life so it is very likely either your particular setup or more likely some misbehaving app

As a reference, I typically take my phone off the charger at 6 am and put it back on around midnight. On a light use day, like a lazy weekend it typically has around 65%, on a heavy use day with mulitple phone calls, a couple google nav sessions, and some browsing it will be down to 10-15%.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] radmacks:
Other then the below issue (switched to ART) All is good with this beta on Bell Canada Network. People tell me that they are hearing an echo when they talk to me but that could be my volume is too high.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please report back after today's Weekly. I want to know if you still loose LTE.

To Everyone, do me a favor, check network speeds of today's weekly and that of Weekly 7.2.1 or 7 stable. I hope you will get a speed improvement. Also the Issue of Apps not Opening should be gone. I have tested the fix on my phone since Saturday till now. Kindly let me know how it goes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
FYI I never had an issue dropping network coverage that I could tell, however I have a ZL battery that negatively interferes w/ reception and I live in the middle of nowhere, so I rarely have strong signal. I don't see a new weekly @ slimrom or slimOTA, assuming you meant it's going up today, not that it's already up?

One last thing, ART is definitely faster for me, however I can't tell that it's sticking? If I go back in, it shows dalvik, even right after a reboot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes the build is not up. It will be. I was giving advance Warning. :silly:

ART is supposed to stick. If it does not, then take a nandroid, do a factory Reset, wipe /system , /data , /data/media then flash the Rom and Gapps. Check if ART Change sticks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] TomMelee:
Sorry then and thanks. I think it sticks because the phone is way faster---it's just that if I go back into dev options to select the runtime it's on dalvik, and if I change it to art it wants to reboot again. It's probably time for me to data wipe again anyway...but I'll probably wait to try today's drop first. ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
I'll certainly give it a go upon release. It may be a couple of days before I know about the LTE issue. I'm working out of my home this week (wifi) and don't generally have an LTE signal in the house. I'll know by Wednesday and will report back. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
7.6 weekly is up.......but my OTA says I'm up to date???? Downloading on computer.:confused:

Edit: Up and running smoothly....seems that wifi connection and downloads are faster???

Good job!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Slim Center is only applicable to Stable Release. Not Weeklies.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
Makes sense.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Knew it was that way before......was just hoping it had changed with the fixes on 7.4 :p But I completely understand why they do it that way!!:good:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Was hoping someone would say that. Do a Speed test. Should see a leg up.

The fix was for slim to actually recognize D2LTE as a valid device for Stable Releases.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Doesn't seem so. About the same. Same server, phone in same position, here are my results.

Slim 7.4=PNG 22 Download 9.53mps Upload 1.27mps

Slim 7.6=PNG14 Download 9.11mps Upload 1.23mps

For whatever it's worth!!

But the phone does connect quicker on 7.6, no way to measure it, but it is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Actually the comparison should be between 7 and 7.6 7.4 had elements of this boost so they are comparable.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jiji.james:
I am having a weird issue. The call volume on my phone is too high. I can hear the other person talking even when my phone is a few inches from my ear with the volume on the lowest setting. I am not sure if i am missing any settings
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Another weird one!

Every time I flash 7.6, dirty or clean, it knocks XDA app out and I can't restore backup or download from play store.

Tibu backup just spins & spins

New install of XDA app starts and says can't install to sd card or USB????

Any ideas from anyone........? I've tried everything I know to no avail.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sbs8331:
For this error, go to system settings Storage, unmount SD card. Install the app, then go back to the setting and mount SD card. I've also encountered another error when trying to install XDA, for which I use a file manager to go to data/data and delete the folder com.quoord.tapatalkxda.activity before reinstalling XDA.

Please flash 7.6
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
Storage

Just flashed 7.0 stable and have an encounted a bizzare issue. I followed the normal procedure of full wipe, cache wipes, factory reset and the ROM is amazing fast and running perfectly. Restored all my apps, got all the settings to my liking and the sort. II went into my storage area in setting and found that I only have 733MB of free internal space! Mind you, there should maybe a max of about 5 GB used and it's showing I have 12GB used! I can't seem to figure out where this data is to delete it. It almost appears as if my data was duplicated.

EDIT: I apologize if this is posted in the wrong spot. I briefly looked but didn't see a Q&A section
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
There isn't a Q&A thread for this Rom.

To your problem, your partition table is corrupted. You will have to go back to stock Samsung firmware that you had before this. You can also use newer firmware than that. Just don't use older than what you had before.

You will also need to Odin flash CORRECT .PIT file for your device and its capacity. (16GB or 32 GB)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] brianray14:
Wow, Thanks for the quick response! I will do just that. I have another quck question. I am running the MJ2 bootloader because i didn't want to get looked into the newest one due to knox presence. Is that going to cause any issues?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tallsilver:
Works for me!!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
No reason whatsoever for you to move away from MJ2 firmware. Certainly not this Rom.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jiji.james:
I just tried weekly 7.6 build the issue is still there :(
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Did you clean flash and not restore any system Data ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jiji.james:
It was a clean flash.

Deleted everything except external sd card.

And no system data was restored.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That is weird. For some time around Stable 7, we had the volume increased a lot. But now in 7.6, I had it turned down a bit.

Can someone else please confirm if the volume is still too loud ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] J M L:
I just got a call and the minimum volume is too loud. I'm on 7.6 and I dirty flashed from 7.0, which was a clean install. So far I'm not having any other problems. I don't mind if the maximum volume is too loud, but I had the volume turned down as low as it would let me, and it still sounded like those ROMs that have the "boost phone volume" setting enabled. On 7.0 the phone volume was fine for me.

Are the changes you're talking about modifications to /system/etc/snd_soc_msm/snd_soc_msm_2x? If so, then I don't think dirty flashing is a problem, unless that file is preserved when updating. It also makes it easy to try changes without reflashing.
