Are you on v9.0? Did you do a full wipe before flashing? I'm not experiencing any of those problems.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
No one can say. For some, A is better, others, B. I use Quantum because of enhanced audio playback.

Have been running this ROM seemingly forever, and have had zero issues with apns on Rogers.

What is your baseband version?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
No Upgrade Needed

I was strongly considering upgrading my device to something newer due to the frustrations I was experiencing with stock and many other ROMs. My device is now running so smoothly and quickly with SlimKat 9.0 that I no longer desire to upgrade my device. After having encountered many problems with v7.0, I am thoroughly impressed with SlimKat v9.0! :cool:

Having issues with the camera crashing often. Many music apps also don't work, and I have to use google play music to listen to files stored on my sd card.

v9.0, clean wipe, came from cm 11 m12.

I'm gonna reflash and see if that clears things up.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Try using Poweramp. I have experienced zero issues playing music stored on my SD card.

Fortunately, the camera has never crashed on me. I did a full wipe coming from a Touchwiz ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
What he Said ^^^^

Use BetterBatteryStats App for your battery Drain. Don't expect new Kernel to be a Magic cure to all ills.

Having said that, do please take a look at some of my other Contributions.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bjtheone:
Exactly the same as mine. I would suggest the complete treatment... full wipe, clean install, and test before you reload your apps (especially before you start restoring data).

I updated to this modem after playing around for a while with stability and performance versus full caller id.

This baseband works fine with SlimKat.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrenhal:
They may want to clean off their internal memory and wipe that as well. Cache, data, dalvik, system, internal sd.

When going between types of roms I'll move my data from internal to external, then pull the external and copy all my important stuff to my computer and then I'll wipe everything including external

Is there a functional difference between wiping the internal and external SD cards before flashing ROM and wiping them after phone is up and running? I'm trying to see if it is worth it me to do it now that my phone is working pretty well.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wrenhal:
If the phone is working then no need to wipe. These were instructions to do before flashing if there were issues with the way the Rom was working.

problems with camera?

This rom seems almost perfect for me. I wouldnt call it stable because my camera doesn't work. Hopefully someone can help me out.

I have a Canadian Rogers S3. Reading the tread other people seem to have no trouble with the rom.

My problems: (Rogers S3, clean flash, slimkat v9)

1) Camera app works when first opened but if I lock the screen or use a different app, then try to use the camera again... It crashes every time until I reboot.

2) is there a way to clear previous apps all at once without swiping them away one by one?

3) is there a way to remove "Emergency call" on lock screen. I keep hitting it by accident and it gets frustrating. (Emergency call appears when you put passcode lock)

I hope someone can help me!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] amf66:
To answer a couple of your questions:

1) Many people (including myself) seem to have better luck using a 3rd party camera. It doesn't solve all the problems but it may crash less often for you. I use Google Camera. Many others use Open Camera. Haven't touched the stock camera in months, really...

2) To clear all apps pinch using two fingers. Kind of hard to explain. Start with a finger at the top and a thumb at the bottom and pinch them together on the recent apps.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bibo979:
Thank you! Google camera app seems to be working much better than the stock camera for now and the pinch to close all apps does the trick!

Now just to figure out how to remove the emergency call from lock screen and this rom would be perfect! I have tried to use wanam but it doesn't seem to work with this rom.

Regardless, having the first two problems solved is a huge plus! Thanks again!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
If it's that big a deal, there are always third party lockscreens. I'm sure that's not an ideal solution, but it's the only one I can think of.

From my SlimTab Pro 8.4
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
I'd not wipe anything if everything is well.

The only time I'd wipe is when I 'm moving from or to stock or having weirder issues.

To me that's a Social Responsibility. Users are likely to have complex lock patterns and pin numbers. In case of true Life threatening emergency, there has to be a way to call for help irrespective of everything else. There can not be any impediments to this. This is exactly why Samsung allows such calls on ITS Lock Screen. If you are subject to pocket dialing, use a different case.

As @JaylanPHNX said, Try 3rd Party Lock Screens. Magic Locker comes to mind.

When I plug my phone into my computer, the internal and external storages do not appear in my drive listing. What must I do to enable drag-n-drop file transfer between my phone and computer?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JaylanPHNX:
This is most likely a driver issue on your PC. You can try to make it forget the device in control panel, then reconnect and see if it reinstalls the correct drivers. If not, do some searching for Android driver issues.

Hey guys!

I am running v9.0 on the sgh i797, T-mobile carrier,

1.I am having trouble with the camera crashing after switching to another app and switching back.

2. The maps dont seem to update when driving, seems like there is a problem with the GPS.Im running i747ucuemjb baseband version, could it be because of that?

3. Running SU 2.45 and says needs to update but wont switch over to recovery to update, installed clean master to stop apps from starting on boot up but SU wont grant permissions, dont know what to do, any help please?

Thanks
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sano1:
forgive me if it's already been asked, however, I just flashed the rom and upon initial viewing, I love it! The problem is that it took away my root. Can I use the same root method and file that I did to root the phone initially, before flashing the rom? I used Odin on my PC. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bliss_creator:
Sano1, I did the root using the unified tool kit, with SU Chainfire 2.45 and it worked. Thanks to you I checked my root and it had unrooted after installing this ROM, so I just the same procedure that I had mentioned and Im back in business.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Simply activate root access in Developer Options. :cool:
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sano1:
LOL or this works. I'm gonna sound really dumb, but I've been going through settings like no tomorrow and can't find dev options.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bliss_creator:

Compass doesn't work. Works in CM. But not in the latest slim.

Will the NJ1 modem fix this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Please Specify apps being Switched in #1. 3rd Party Apps using Camera and making it crash require reboot to clear. That's the way it is. Can't help with such apps.

#2 - Don't think due to Modem. Please see if you are able to get a fix in Device only mode. Remember, GPS now takes a bit longer to fix.

#3 - Sounds like SU might not have Root itself. Did you Enable Root in Dev Options ?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnHorus:
Wouldn't recommend it. I've been using it for a month and I'm constantly having issues with incoming calls and alarms not being answerable/cancellable. I also just got home and unplugged my earbuds, and couldn't get sound out of my speakers from any other app until I fiddled with my music player, which I was listening to through the headphones prior. There are a ton of little random bugs like this, that don't happen all the time but do pop up often enough to be frustrating. Slim is a good rom if you plan to make your phone a handheld computer, but a poor one if you want to use it as a phone. Which sucks, because I love many of its' features.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bliss_creator:
1. For example I just did a quick switch from the camera to the home screen, it crashed, needing reboot, then once in the camera option switched to panoramic shot, then switching to regular crashed it.

2. For the GPS what shall i try to get it fixed?

3. I redid the root and that issue got resolved.

Thank you!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Which version of SlimKat are you running? I experienced many of these bugs when I was running SlimKat 7.0 but NOT on 9.0, thankfully.

1. I can switch from the camera to the homescreen with no problem; however, switching back and forth from Panorama mode does indeed crash my camera and requires a reboot to fix.

2. No problems with GPS.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bliss_creator:
And one other issue I am having is, when Im on the bluetooth and there is notification for an email, the music player automatically starts :-s ....... dont know how to resolve this, are there any setting to change?

GPS fix

I had problems with GPS from time to time after flashing AOSP ROMs. Try installing GPS Status from the Play Store. If it can't see any satellites, shows 0/0 while looking for a fix, then try this.

Now would be a good time to make a nandroid backup if you don't have one you'd like to restore.

Next, flash a TW ROM that will run on your firmware. You need a stock dialer so you can get into the maintenance menus. Open your stock dialer and enter *#197328640#

That should open a menu. Now navigate Mainmenu -> UMTS -> Common -> NVREBUILD -> NVREBUILD

Don't exit or hit home after telling it to rebuild the NVRAM. Let it sit for 30+ seconds, then long press power and pick restart.

Once your phone boots back up open up Google maps and see if location locks, it should now. At this point you can boot into your custom recovery, restore the backup you made, and enjoy your custom ROM with working location service.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] JohnHorus:
All on 9.0. I love PIE and slim recents so much, but not being able to shut off my alarm when it's ringing, or answer my phone, doesn't work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sjamie:
Hmm... interesting... Since I am not experiencing those issues, you may want to try fully wiping your device + internal and external memory then reflashing the ROM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] tbird57:
I am not experiencing that problem.....working just fine
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You have not been Asking ETA. I know. :) As to LP? Well keep watching hopefully later today.

Yeah D2 fell into latter category. The stock Camera is still borked. However 3rd party Camera apps are working fine.

Weird reboot

Here's a weird scenario. Been using SlimKat 9.0 for the past few weeks with zero issues, then today was using my phone playing a game (One Touch Drawing 2) when the screen started flickering slightly for about 10 secs then just shut down. I tried restarting it and it wouldn't until I plugged in a USB cable. Seems the battery suddenly dived to less than 1% and the phone shut itself off. I was able to restart with the USB cable charging the battery and took some screen caps after it started (didn't think to get a log file -- DUH) but I thought this was fairly odd.

Slimkat has bricked my modem. When I installed it WIFI would not connect to my router, so I did some searching and found a thread on another forum where someone had a similar problem (wifi not reconnecting when going out of range and then back in range). He flashed a modem update, so I found the thread with the modem updates and installed the one for my baseband: I747UCUEMJB. After doing this, I reinstalled slimkat fully (wiping everything) and now the wifi connects, but it does not work, neither does the LTE (even though it says it has a strong signal). the signals are strong on both, but data transfer seems non existent. So, I tried flashing the modem prior to that, still did not work. I tried reflashing dirty unicorns and it still does not work. So now my phone is basically useless and I don't know what to do. Anyone have any ideas?

Edit: I figured out how to fix it. Had to go back to MJB and then NE4, just re-flashed dirty unicorns and all seems well.

Confirmed. Bluetooth is not able to recognize or able to connect to devices that were working fine on 5.8 It does not matter if you try to connect or Re-pair such devices. Clean or dirty flash does not seem effective.

On a different note, has anyone checked to see if the Ringtones from external SD Card survive reboot ? In my testing, they seem to survive. I'd like to see if others have similar experience.

I have a question about bootloader and such. I use slim on my N5 and a D2spr, but I may be putting it on my mother-in-law's D2att. She's still on the TW 4.1.2 (baseband ending in dmg2). Is it necessary to update the bootloader or anything like that to flash the latest SlimKat? Or is it as easy as root, install TWRP, flash SlimKat/Gapps? I'm a fairly experienced user/flasher, I'm just looking out for device-specific pitfalls.

Edit: Some better searching on my part seems to suggest there's no issue with just flashing. But I'll leave the question above in case there's anything else you guys could warn me about. Thanks.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You do want to upgrade the bootloader to 4.2. Best way is to flash the Stock 4.2 JellyBean Firmware. The Roms might give Status 7 Errors for your older Bootloader.

For what its worth, it is advisable to put her phone to Release versions of SlimKat so that she will only get update for future Release updates only (and not weeklies).
