[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JamesAt:
OSP is On Screen Phone. It came with the LG G2, but for some reason not the G3. There was a work around to install it on the G3 (if you were rooted) but it ended up disabling the "OK Google" feature. Seems like removing the OSP app fixed it.

If you do not have OSP installed, you are likely having another issue.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhilke:
i'm really tired testing all the roms.

the roms i am stuck on are:

1 ►►s5 sensation rom

2 ►►revolutionary s5 rom

3 ►►hypermax rom

these three roms are really nice. revolutionary s5 rom and s5 sensation rom are the most stable s5 roms i discovered ( for me atleast).

:silly::silly:the problem is: s5 sensation rom is fully s5 themed. and i love it. but wifi-direct doesnt works :( (though

a few

of them claimed to be working) :silly:

and s5 revolutionary is lightly themed and wifi-direct works on this one. :silly::silly:

so i need a fully themed rom with wifi-direct support.

so is there any s5 themed roms with working wifi-direct ???:confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darkened_Sky:
flash deodexed stock rom and flash the s5 theme over it

I do not own the SGH-T989, but I do have 3 SGH-i727 Skyrockets, and the Hercules is almost identical. My time is limited, but due to several requests for this, I wanted to share. Please help each other out, and keep the thread friendly and informative.

Installation:

Install a 4.4 compatible recovery, and reboot to recovery afterwards.

Format /system, /data and /dalvik cache.

Flash a compatible radio (see below).

Flash the ROM.

Flash GApps.

Reboot and enjoy!

Known Issues:

Power-off charging animation not working.

You tell me...

Reporting Issues

:

Do NOT report issues here if you're running a non-stock kernel, Xposed and/or modules, or any other non-stock mods.

For bug reporting (stock Slim ROM/kernel/GApps only), please use the Slim Bugreport tool, accessible through Settings > SlimCenter > Bugreport to produce a zip file in the phone's storage which you then can upload to the SlimROMs Hercules Subforum for review. Please see Reporting Bugs on the Slim web site for more information.

Any issues please explain with specific details, how to reproduce the problem, and provide a Slim Bug Report (preferred, in the ROM), or a logcat. Good feedback is ESSENTIAL. :)

Installation Notes:

Radios

: Make sure you are running a JellyBean radio or newer (T989: UVMC6 | T989D: TLMC4), and follow the installation instructions linked to in post #1. A thread for flashable radios is here.

Recovery

: Recommended recovery: CWM or TWRP.

Superuser

: The Slim Team has made it so the Superuser App is not enabled by default, requiring users to intentionally turn on Root access. To enable it, navigate to Settings > Developer Options > Root Access and choose Apps and ADB (even though it may appear selected). For this to work, you need to first go to Settings > About Phone and tap on Build Number several times to gain access to the Developer Options.

Also see here: http://slimroms.net/faq/slimbean/441-how-do-i-enable-root

Kernel

: The kernel is based on the Moretz CM-11.0 kernel, but overclocking has been disabled to enhance stability. For sweep2wake, fast charge, and CPU freq/governor control features, I'd recommend [ROOT] Kernel Tweaker from the Play store.

Wi-Fi

: Wi-Fi connection dropping issues? Check your region code in Settings > Wi-Fi > (menu key) > Advanced > Wi-Fi region code. It may be set to Europe by default, which uses a different set of Wi-Fi channels than the United States or Canada.

DPI

: For information on changing the screen DPI, see here: How to change the screen density (DPI). Beware that some apps may not play nice with custom values, although normally the Slim GApps are modified to tell the Play Store and a couple of other apps that the phone's DPI is always 240. ;)

Enjoy!

Initial test build: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23578570567714111
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Welcome to the Hercules forum and thanks for bringing this ROM back to us. I will be testing this later this evening after work. Also I will get the word out on G+.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
big fan of slim O.o cant wait to see what this brings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Initial Impressions

OK after a few hours of testing, here is what I found:

First of all, the instruction to not change the governor on the stock kernel apparently applies to Wild! V6 as well. After installation, boot was just fine. Thinking I could change the governor because this was a custom kernel, I changed the governor to Intellidemand. No problem then either, but after a reboot the phone boot looped. Re-installing the kernel fixed that, but then it happened again. Also the wi-fi setting was not saving my password either. So after getting the phone to boot up (had to install the kernel once more), I set the governor to Interactive. No more boot loops after three reboots. So that was taken care of.

The other issues I encountered were extremely slow charging (only 1% charge in about a 45 minute time frame) and Google Now FCd every time I tried to open it (even after I wiped data & cache). Upon those problems I had to restore my nandroid for now. I do also want to mention some positives. The ROM really does fly, and with Slim mini gapps over 200mb of free ROM space is available so the ROM lives up to its name of "less is more". Video recording was perfect and without any delay. I have been out of the loop for a bit on changelogs, but for those who don't know the new theme engine is still not included in this ROM as of yet. The real dark Slim does work though.

Bottom line this is not yet ready for a DD IMHO, but with tweaking, could be the fastest ROM we have available. I really was almost willing to deal with the bugs because I was so impressed with the speed. The screen wake lag that plagues all the other ROMs did not happen for me here. Thanks again [MENTION=4435460]NoSpamDan[/MENTION], I'll be happy to try future builds as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Thanks, I appreciate the testing and feedback!

Let me first say that

details are everything

, especially when I don't have a test phone available...

I am looking for bugs that exist in the as-built ROM, and therefore I am unable to provide any support for 3rd party kernels... This could have caused most of the issues you experienced.

Was there a problem with the stock CM-11.0 kernel bundled into the ROM, aside from the known governor switching issue? If so, the built-in Slim Bug Report tool (Settings > SlimCenter > Bugreport) will produce a zip file you can upload here for the time being for review. Please see Reporting Bugs on the Slim web site for more information.

For random reboots (RR's), you can also try using Bootlog Uptime to automatically dump /proc/last_kmsg for you to review/upload.

The Google Now issue shouldn't have anything to do with the ROM itself, that is in GApps. And if you were using the mini-gapps package, did you install Google Search separately? According to the TRDS GApps thread, it's not included in the mini package, and you could have been missing some key library files from the GApps package. :confused:

What version of KK4.4 GApps did you install? You said mini, but was it v155, v157, v160?

For now, I would recommend using the beta GApps with Unofficial builds until an Official ROM version is released. Please bear in mind that [MENTION=1277872]dankoman[/MENTION] has been producing new beta TRDS GApps versions quite often. His discussion thread is here.

What I really need are bug reports and logs using only the stock Slim ROM/kernel/GApps... Unfortunately, without these, I won't be able to provide effective support to try and make this ROM better, much less try to get the Hercules officially supported on the Slim site. :(

Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Yeah I was afraid you might bring the logs up, and rightfully so. Reason that I did not use the built in kernel is that I have NEVER had good experiences with stock kernels from CM. Plus with the limited governor availability, I was hoping Wild! would eliminate that problem. I was also unaware of Bootlog Uptime or I would have used it to help with this situation.

On Gapps, I used these from the Slim ROMs web site: http://slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewdownload/1150-addons4-4/12060-slim-mini-gapps-4-4-4-build-6-112

Google Now wasn't included so I restored it via Titanium Backup. After the FCs, I wiped the data. Still no luck. I tried to uninstall it but when I checked settings/apps, it was still showing as installed. I should have just fresh installed it from Play or better yet, used the Banks Gapps I already had. At any rate, I know I could have fixed that problem if I had tried other things.

Any idea what might have caused the slow charging? I've had that happen on official CM as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Yeah, those GApps are pretty outdated, but should still work. TiBu on the other hand, can be pure evil sometimes... ;)

OK. Now (Quicksearchbox.apk) is a System App, so yeah, I can see trouble with it if restored.

Not off-hand. I take it you've tried different chargers/cables...? There's an app on XDA here called Skyrocket Charger Test that, while it's labeled 'Skyrocket', based on what it queries for information, might work on the Herc to check the charging rate and type. I believe it also works on the Note 1 SGH-i717... Worth a shot to test chargers and cables for issues. It's saved me many times. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ArtfulDodger:
Well thing is, on other ROMs like PA or Beanstalk 4.4 builds I get about 40% an hour charge. I use two different chargers at home & work, both Samsung with no issues. The slow charging issue is one I've only encountered with official CM (especially 4.4 nightlies), an old Beanstalk 4.3 ROM and unofficial Carbon 4.2 build back from last fall.

On TB it really is both a blessing and a curse sometimes!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokenbiskits:
Only issue is found is SD card usage. I don't have external SD card btw

View attachment 2858649
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Thanks for the report.

I take it you did wipe /data or perform a factory reset upon installation? This will

not

wipe your internal SD card (music/photos/etc)...

Sometimes just a dalvik and cache wipe from recovery fixes this. A log/bugreport might help. Did you try clicking on that SDCard entry to see what app or process it says is running? Do you have Outlook installed or Exchange mail configured?

And I couldn't help but notice, are you running Juice Defender? FYI many have reported worse battery life on KitKat with that... I purchased the full version myself back when I switched from GB to ICS, but ended up ditching it when JB came along, and never looked back.

Everyone's usage/situation is different... :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokenbiskits:
Yes to wipe everything except internal SD.

I will try a dalvik/cache wipe/battery stats and see if it helps.

Don't have either of those email clients installed.

Clicking on SD card entry in battery just shows cpu uptime for SD Card, not specific process.

I'll remove juice defender after the wipes above work/don't work, don't want too many variables changing while trying to troubleshoot. :angel:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
LOL, yes, one step at a time is good. else you can end up with no clue at all ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Oh, I just saw "battery stats"... and wiping those has no effect in Android 4.4. Google debunked that some time ago. ;) See here. Recharging the device will reset the battery usage stats in Settings > Battery.

I used to wipe the battery stats myself, and I honestly didn't know there were still recoveries that still had that built in (TWRP maybe) since I've been on PhilZ Touch CWM recovery myself for a long time. No Fix Permissions either, wouldn't you know (not a bad thing, actually)...

I sure did like my placebo effect, though. I still miss it, lol.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] smokenbiskits:
The Dalvik/cache wipe fixed SD card issue... Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HipHopAnonymous3:
First, thanks for helping us all out and working on bringing us this ROM. Tried it out today and was impressed by how fast it booted and its responsiveness. Flashed through TWRP 2.7.1.0 along with newest beta slim mini gapps. Full wipe/clean install. A few things I noticed:

1) Native superuser doesn't function. Tried going into settings>advanced options>superuser and auto-allowing apps permissions...no go. Unable to create logcat/bugreport for this issue as they both require root. Fixed by flashing Chainfires SuperSU zip through TWRP

2) Battery charge speed seemed normal here

3) I live in US and wifi region code was set to Europe after install.

4) In your OP you mention radios not related to our model. The newest radio for T989 is T989UVMC6

5) Something not specific to your ROM, but with all recent ROMs (CM related?) stock messaging app no longer turns data on to send/receive MMS messages. Again, nothing on your end, just felt the need to bring attention to it.

Thanks again for your work
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
ive been on this all day today without any problems! :D slims as good it was before
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Thank you much for the feedback.

1) You have to enable Superuser through Developer options. See installation notes in post #2, with a link to Slim's FAQ on it. :)

2) Good!

3) I've seen this before, and will look into it, although as you said, if you drill into the Wifi > Advanced > Region code settings, you can change it to whatever. So, low priority.

4) I'll look at the assert script for the radio version. Can you link the radio thread please?

5) I haven't heard of this. I don't believe it affects the Skyrocket...? Does this happen on the recommended radios?

I have a new build compiling with a "stock-ish" version of the Moretz kernel (no over clock/undervolting).

It has sweep2wake, fast charge, more governors, and reportedly better Bluetooth support (with SR users).

I'll post it for testing when it's ready for those interested...

I don't have any volunteers for testing (yet). ;). If you want to volunteer, you should be able and willing to clean flash at times 3-4 builds in a day, be able to capture logs and send them. Normal testing would be occasional builds, unless there was a major issue.

Looking for 3 or so testers to help possibly get this into the Slim weekly cycle.

Cheers!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
New test build is up for Hercules. There are changes to potentially address issues with incoming calls and the inability to "hang up" after a call.

Anyone having issues with receiving or hanging up calls, please test this build out:

(link removed)

If this build fixes the issues for you, please mention that here.

If you still have issues with this build, please start a new thread in the Slim Hercules support forum, and include your Slim bugreport in that thread... see Post #2 for details.

Thanks!

EDIT: link removed since I'm testing on Skyrocket and the changes needed should be common to both...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Anyone here having issues with calls? I'm surprised if you don't...

It looks like build 8.10 WEEKLY is the one to use for now till I get this sorted (if you are running this ROM).

Thank's a lot for keeping this device alive <3

Your ROM IS AWESOME.

EDIT::

My phone's not booting up after 1st restart, it was working all good just 5 mins and I decided to reboot it and now its not booting up, just shows the Samsung splash screen and blacks out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Thanks for the complement.

Did you verify the download SHA1 hash? What ROM/version are you coming from? Make sure you haven't flashed any 3rd party kernels/add-ons or install Xposed.

I installed this myself (dirty flashed over SlimKat 8.10 WEEKLY) and it booted fine. Another user clean flashed it with no GApps and had no problems.

There is a noticeable delay between the Samsung logo and the SlimKat boot animation.

Re-download/check SHA1 and clean flash and see what you get.

Thanks for the build! Calling appears to work fine for both inbound and outbound now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rushaan™:
solved

I was initially on avatar ROM 2.6b based on 4.2

I searched the forums and learnt that it was a kernel problem and that the kernel panics whenever the phone tries to boot a KitKat ROM after being on jellybean.

Doing this solved my problem -

Flash Sultan's CM11 kernel

Flashed Sultan's CM11 ROM

Factory reset

Flashed Slimkat

Now this phone works good.

Thanks to sultan for his kernel and you for making this great rom.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Huh? SlimKat has a kernel included so any existing one is overwritten when you flash it. What you wrote doesn't make sense. :confused:

Coming from JellyBean to KitKat requires reformatting of the phone's partitions using a KitKat compatible recovery and a Factory Reset.

Either the Factory Reset (Clean Flash) or reformatting partitions is what fixed your problem.

Glad you are all set though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
So there were calling issues then... Don't think I saw any mention for the Herc, but the changes I made for the Skyrocket would affect both devices.

where as it is charging the battery as after turning it on it increases battery level
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
Yes the power-off battery charging animation has been broken for a long time. I spent many hours trying to fix it with no success. It's not a deal breaker for Stable though, although I would like to see it fixed myself. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
SlimKat OFFICIAL Build 9 is slated for the Hercules. Will likely be the final KitKat 4.4 build as the Slim Team works heavily on Lollipop 5.0.

One more bug found that is zoom on 1080p mode is not working....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] NoSpamDan:
I'm pretty sure you can't zoom in with 1080p. At least I've never been able to. That's the max video resolution the phone can record.

Zooming in with 720p should work until you hit the 1080p max. The camera can't make up pixels to fill in above 1920x1080 video resolution.

You might find an editor that can zoom in on an already-recorded 1080p video, but it will surely be blurry.
