I just flashed 7.0 again followed by 7.4 to test this and on both versions I was able to install several apps that are giving me this issue on 7.6. As for the SD formatting, I formatted using the phone first and when that didn't work I used the PC to format with the same result.

I believe this has something to do with the way the ROM accesses the external SD card because I also get random pauses while downloading my Google Music playlist to the external SD card.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Thanks. Good to know. I will be looking into this.

EDIT - Can you guys turn SELINUX Permissive ? See if that helps resolve it.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
I am trying to do this but I am running into the same issue FlyingPoo was having here and the app I recommended him does not work. Do you have any tips?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] muleyman:
The app pretends to work but didn't actually change the setting. Switching to another app and back the setting has reverted to enforcing. It always says enforcing in About Phone.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
Yes, I tried left and right to change get to permissive. I tried the app, build prop, different kernels, different superuser app, and got nowhere.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Can you guys use Terminal Emulator ?

Execute the following two commands.

su
setenforce 0

Note after su and <Enter> key, it will prompt to grant Root to Terminal emulator. Grant that otherwise subsequent command will not work.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
I did this through the PC and with Terminal Emulator, root Ok, but get "Invalid Argument" after setenforce 0
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Be Kind and reboot. Then do another attempt with Play store to recreate the issue. After this, run me a bug report and attach it to a post please.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
Logcats are attached for both the Play Store issue and the SELinux issue. I used the Catlog app from the play store and I am not sure if I captured enough information. Please let me know if you need another one.

Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Thanks for the prompt response. I will look into this.

EDIT - Are you on ART ?

If you try with some other app other than Whatsapp or Whatsapp wallpaper, the same thing happens right ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
Yes I am on ART. Should I attempt on Dalvik? And yes, the same thing happens with several other apps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Yes give dalvik a try. Don't hold your breath.

Do please force stop and wipe data of Play Store, Play Service and Google Services Framework. Then switch to Dalvik and reboot.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
I'm still trying to get test this, but after clearing data and switching to Dalvik, my Play Store will not display anything. It opens up to the "No Connection" screen and the Retry button will only open up the menu. :confused:

EDIT: I had to remove my Google account and add again in order to get the Play Store to load up correctly, and after doing so and attempting to download some of the offending apps I can confirm that Dalvik has the same result.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] muleyman:
300 dpi looks much better, to me. My phone reports in the 'About Phone' under Slim Version Slim-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4053. If you're using something newer, where'd you get it? This was the only zip I could find for the d2lte, (d2tmo), on the Slimrom download page...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gmenik6:
Thanks man...greatly appreciate it :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bsorli:
I'm sure I was wrong on version numbers and yes 300 dpi is pretty solid! Sorli...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thomas101:
Where did you find to increase the dpi? Thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ahaq:
Same Here I need help to raise dpi, its to small for me
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] bsorli:
I'm using a 3rd party tool (DPI Changer) downloaded from the Play Store and bumped to 300 dpi. Samsung Default is I believe 320dpi, but 300 worked fine for me.

Btw, think I found minor problems:to

Ocasionally when my device sleeps it doesn't wake back up. Only noticed twice when the battery was very low.

Volume buttons work backwards then usual.

but figured people would like to know

Sorli...
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
After a reboot, the notification sounds i picked for messaging and gmail, disappear and turn into numbers, and of course no sound. Is this happening to anyone else?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boybill:
That will happen if your sound file is stored on your external sd card. Whenever I update Slim to the next weekly, I copy my sound file into system/media/audio/notification This works for me. Good luck.I find Slim to be very stable once you figure out the dpi and the notification sounds.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Papote3:
What kernel and kernel settings are you guys using...

I have dkp with sioplus & intelliactive
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scott7175:
BMS and ktoonz is good
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ahaq:
i need the screen to look bigger and better please guide to change the dpi
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boybill:
There are apps for that mentioned earlier in the thread,personally I just change the build prop with root explorer.Change lcd density to 320.It is in system. Longpress build density then open with text editor. Good luck.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ahaq:
What's the best root option to flash zip. I'm getting no root permission
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] muleyman:
Haven't seen the sleep issue but did notice that the volume buttons will switch depending on the phone orientation... So that the buttons work in the same direction as the graphical slider. I kind of like it, now that I figured or what it was doing. :)

---------- Post added at 06:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:00 PM ----------

Enable root in Developer options.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] thomas101:
I use Texdroider DPI it working great without any issue so far. Will update more later.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ahaq:
Can u show ,e screenshot of this option
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] muleyman:
Hopefully you can see that. I have the sub menu open but you can see root just below the popup.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ndwgs:
Make sure you tick the "Aps and ADB" option.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] nafeasonto:
How do you change the Theme, with this firmware?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scott7175:
The theme chooser has not yet been implemented into the rom as of yet you can use xposed and hkthemes module to change some of the items
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Apologize for putting you through that ringer. Didn't expect it to do so. I had tried wiping data on my phone beforehand. Good to know its still the same with Dalvik. I have an alternate way to set SELINUX Permissive. I will try to get that going after work. Will you be willing to test a beta build ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
Not a problem. I can definitely test that for you!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] amealwithlargefries:
Im on stable release 7.0, stock kernel.

The ROM is fantastic, everything s smooth and I don't get force closes, but is anyone else having problems with the camera's exposure?

No matter what setting I pick for the exposure it doesn't change at all. Any help would be appreciated
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
I can confirm that exposure did not work correctly on 7.0 or 7.4. It did work correctly on 7.6.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I've got a suggestion. Can you try the KitKat sdcard full access module of Xposed ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
Installed Xposed and the Kitakat SD Full Access module, and still will not install apps correctly.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] amealwithlargefries:
Ahhh ok2x thanks. Is t safe to dirty flash to 7.6? or should I do a clean install?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
Clean is always best. Personally I would back up and dirty flash. If any issues do come up ,then clean flash afterwards.

Alternatively, if all you're looking for is the exposure fix, you can try to extract the camera2.apk from 7.6, replace the one in your current version, set permissions and reboot. Maybe that will do it for you. If not then give 7.6 a shot like mentioned above.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] smartdroid:
Does anyone else have MMS fail when sending to multiple recipients? By fail I mean it just won't sent and shows the little red triangle in the messages list. I am using the 7.0 stable build.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] munchee:
I don't believe SD Card access is working properly. I'm getting FC on any apps that writes to external SD card. I can't install a couple of apps when I have SD card mounted. When I unmounted SD card, I was able to install them just fine.

So so far I've only gotten FC on using Line front camera, Focal in combination with Picture2SD xposed module (without it, it's fine). I cannot install XDA Developer and PDF Max apps when SD card is mounted, and I cannot redirect any direct write to SD card. I am using the kitkat sd card fix xposed module and Download2SD.

Everything else looks great, thank you so much for the hard work DEV team.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] smartdroid:
FYI, apps that install to SDcard still not working on weekly 7.8
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] itsLYNDZ:
Im thinking of switching over to this Rom. Are there any major issues or things not working? I just want to make sure Bluetooth is working for hands free driving. What are the exact steps before flashing? I cant remember everything that needs to be formatyted and wiped. Thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] smartdroid:
With the stable 7.0 there are no major issues I experienced. With weekly 7.6 and above I have issues with apps that install to SDcard not installing.

General steps to install:

1. Read read read (I.e. slimroms website and more)

2. Backup everything (I.e. nandroid, TiBu)

3. Factory wipe (I.e. cache, dalvik, system, data)

4. Install ROM

5. Install gapps

6. Boot

7. Enjoy
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
These apps are falling hard on SELinux's compartmentalization. By design SELINUX will not let apps write all over the place anywhere they please. There are ways, an app developer might use to write to specific places they have predeclared to Kitkat and have been granted access. If the access has not been granted, an FC will occur.

I get [MENTION=3920274]Infamous_Cheez[/MENTION] has a large number of Apps that makes it a big deal to reinstall. But do you, [MENTION=4931919]munchee[/MENTION] have the same issue ? Would you care to do complete wipe, factory reset and install the offending app from Playstore ? Absolutely no restore of any color, shape of or form please.

[MENTION=3920274]Infamous_Cheez[/MENTION] I will try Whatsapp Wallpaper myself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chevymeister:
What are some of the apps? I'll do a full wipe, install and test. I'm due for an update too, I'm on 6.4 I think.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I do know Infamous_Cheese tried with Whatsapp Wallpaper App.Others had tried a variety of games. I don't know which ones.

6.4 is way way back in past. You do need an update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] munchee:
Hi Perseus71, thanks for checking. Let me clarify, I recently installed weekly 7.6, updating from Touchwiz variant 4.3. What I did was factory reset, then wipe of dalvik, cache, system and data, then I did data format. Perhaps not necessary, but I wanted to make sure a install.

After install, I let apps re-downloaded from app store, so I didn't use any restore. I have close to 190 apps, including xposed modules.

Out of all my apps, only 2 failed to install, XDA Developer free version, and PDFMax. BTW, I don't have any games on my phone, so I can't comment on them.

After failing to install those two apps, I tried multiple sd card fix including xposed modules, and none of the worked. I then unmounted my sd card, and reinstall. That worked.

As for the FC, I got FC only on Line messenger when trying to use front camera, but this has been an isue for me since old version on slimkat, so this is not new. I also got FC on focal camera if I use Picture2SD xposed module, so I am not surprised.

In addition, not sure if this helps or not, I have a few mp3 in my sd card that I want to use as ringtone, then I realize the file permission was incorrect in my sd card, so I use adb shell, su to root, then do a chmod. To my surprise, this doesn't work. I cannot change permission even as root. I really didn't expect that.

For now, I am switching back to Touchwiz 4.3 variant.

Hope that helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] smartdroid:
It doesn't make sense that it is due to SELINUX since these apps install fine prior to the 7.6 weekly and those versions use SELINIX as well.

AndroIRC is one app that doesn't work for me even if I uninstall and reinstall from the play store. If I move to phone, backup with TiBu, and then try and reinstall this doesn't work either.

Btw, I've also tried to do a full wipe, reinstall, and install from playstore and that doesn't work either.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Thanks Munchee for the detailed explanation. This is indeed of help. You probably do know this. But since you are coming from Touchwiz, I will re-iterate.

On Any AOSP Rom, you need to enable Root after a clean install. The way you do it is

1. Goto Settings >About. Then tap the Build Number 7 times. You will get a toast notification counting down till after the 7th when it says you are now a developer.

2. Go to Settings and now open Developer Options a new menu that was not there.

3. You should see an option in there called Enable Root. You set it for ADB and apps.

You are done!

As to the other apps, What was the error with installing XDA App ?

Could it be that the App looks for a specific Device ID and yours is a D2LTE and not SGH-T999 ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] munchee:
Yup, I did enable root right after install. I use adb shell after enabling root, and I did explicit su in the prompt, and made sure I was root when I used "whoami". It still won't allow me to change permission, so that's odd, at least for me.

As for xda app, I got a playstore error " Can't write to USB or external". I may have the wording off a bit, but the error was something like that. Since I don't have slimkat installed, I cannot tell you for sure at this time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Ok Good to know. Next time try changing permissions with a Root Explorer such as ES file Explorer.

Did you happen to change Runtime to ART instead of Dalvik? Out of box SlimKat starts with Dalvik.

Don't worry about the specifics of the Error message. It gives me an idea. For next time, please grab me a Bug report from the time when you have error on installing XDA App.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chevymeister:
Should we change it to ART? I'm just installing gapps then I'll try whatsapp.

EDIT: What the hell? All my apps that are paid for are unpaid for now... Google bug? (never mind, restart fixed it)

Whatsapp wallpaper : Couldn't install on storage or usb storage.

This was on a completely fresh slate.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] munchee:
I haven't play around with ART yet, so no, its still Dalvik. I thought about it, just haven't found the time to play with it.

I'll make sure to create a bug report next time when I see this. I might have to read how to create proper logcat though :D

Thanks again for your help
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Settings > SlimCenter > bug Report

[MENTION=4323278]chevymeister[/MENTION] since one must follow what one preaches, I did a complete wipe down of my own. Then flashed 7.8 and Gapps. Practically all of my 166 apps downloaded and installed successfully. Except One.

XDA Developer's Free app did give me the error.

"Couldn't install on USB Storage or SD Card"

I grabbed my own Bug Report. Investigation in progress. I might have a guess. Stay tuned please.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chevymeister:
Now that I read your post, I forgot to change my runtime to ART, in the process now but that's the same error I received. I installed most of the apps I used fine though. I'm not worried about it as I don't use wallpapers. Will note though that my bluetooth connectivity is fixed amongst other little nuances from the 6.4 to 7.8 jump. I'm very pleased with this rom now :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
Don't change to ART if you don't have to. Its your call.

Check Your network speeds before and after the update. There's a surprise for you.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chevymeister:
It feels extremely snappy just browsing really (dolphin mini+jetpack), I'm getting 9 down and 1.6 up... not 100% sure what it is before but that seems pretty good for me :)

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chevymeister:
I found the issue with the bad connects on my bluetooth deck. For some reason having my phonebook being accessed was causing issues. Probably KK issue I'm assuming.

blacklist; 7.0 Stable

so i recently upgraded to this ROM from using some outdated ROM from a year ago. i have absolutely no complaints about this ROM. it is wonderful. i'm here to just identify one bug in 7.0 stable. the blacklist doesnt seem to work. if i blacklist any number for texting, the texts come anyway. is there a way to fix this as i dont want to try out the weekly.... since 7.0 stable has zero other bugs.

I assume you had clean flashed and do not have any mods/tweaks or custom anything except the Rom and Gapps.

Pull a bug Report after text comes through from blacklisted Number.

Please mention the exact Apps you had tried and seen this error.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] kramer987:
ok the blacklist thing i resolved by reverting to google hangouts and just relying on built in blocking. now i'm experiencing a dif problem that may or may not be a simple fix. using stock messaging app that came with slimkat7.0 and using hangout, i cannot send MMS with wifi enabled. i also cannot send group texts with wifi enabled. once i turn wifi off i can then send group texts and mms messages. also, once i turn wifi off, any mms messages that were sent to me all come at one time. so at least i'm not missing any. but is there a way to make the system quickly switch to Data to send mms/group texts?

Is OTA broken on this release?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Infamous_Cheez:
Thanks for the feedback on the wallpaper app. I'm not sure why it fails on my phone. As for the OTA, the fix was implemented after 7.0 was released.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] chevymeister:
He's on 7.0, most likely why. Mine fails too.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] drizze99:
So I have been rocking this ROM since about Friday morning and so far, so good. A couple force closes on apps but nothing major and nothing repetitive. The only thing I really did was adjust the DPI so the font size is a bit bigger. Very smooth ROM and very snappy. I love the fact that this ROM only sips on the battery. I'm coming from an unrooted stock 4.3 TMO ROM and there is no comparison in battery life. Keep up the great work and I thank you for your dedication to making the SGS3 an even better phone!

I personally don't go after latest Gapps, although you can if you have a problem with a specific app or want the latest feature such as Hangouts Dialer. They all are *supposed* to play nice iwth any Rom weekly.
