[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
As far as i know, omni still supports exynos 4210 devices. Their kernel is still a hybrid thing making it very hard to bringup to 5.0.

Other roms (like unofficial cm and nameless) have moved on and rebased the entire kernel on latest n7100 (note 2) sources, bringin in a (nearly?) completely functional HardWareComposer and stuff.

I saw a comment from andrew dodd (entropy512) on their gerrit today, stating they might drop the 4210 devices as well, leaving room for an entire kernel rebase. This would definatly speed up the development on the rom.

Right nowm i'm running the unofficial cm12 build which are awesome, but i am definatly waiting for omni to come at par so i can switch :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mr_mufy:
Guys does this rom as a great performance for a daily rom?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Yep the great news is that the i9300 isn't being dropped anymore, thanks to some amazing work by Christian Balster! Latest build I did felt a lot more solid than the N7100 rebased roms like nameless etc. Still some progress to be made on all of them before we see release versions of L. On top of that we have the imminent release of 5.1 coming, which should make some good changes that will help us out.

For a few updates, the Layers app won't work for now, but its in testing so thats not a great surprise. The good news it that we can theme away on SlimLP without the massive theme engine. Simply install the app* and then place the the theme .apks into the vendor/overlays folder as per [MENTION=5971759]sameer23[/MENTION] s recommendation ( *may not even need to install the app :) ).

Themes and further info can be found here:

https://plus.google.com/communities/102261717366580091389 again like this rom itself Layers is still in development, but works :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Official Omni for i9300? Woot woot!

By the way, I was thinking of making Paranoid Android unofficial builds IF the PA team drops support. Let's wait and watch :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Sorry totally not for me to day if Omni will or won't support i9300 officially. We will just have to wait. AFAIK no official decision yet :)

PA would be awesome, feel free to use anything on my git :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sanguinesaintly:
Official release

Since the SlimROM Facebook page and Twitter page and website haven't been updated for ages, do we have any confirmation as to whether the i9300 will receive an official release?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
No update for Omni?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Can't say for definite for either, will depend on the various teams, and whether we can get the device stable enough to satisfy them.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I meant to ask about the Omni build you're making :P
[Galaxy S III Android Development] shephart:
This rom is great! Very stable, i just miss features, there are small of them.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mb1234@gazeta.pl:
After updating yesterday to the newest version the battery lasts less than 12h and I get a permanent "no service" message in the lock screen.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
Even more solid? That is amazing. The current CM12 build already feels so solid. Boeffla kernel as well (also rebased on n7100 source).

Anyway, i'm following progress on omni. CM is great, but there are a couple of things i don't need/like that omni does have.

Music app -> Omni still has apollo. I hate the new CM one (Eleven)

Omni still has DSP Manager -> I dislike the new CM one (AudioFX)

Omni has built-in boeffla sound and support via DSP (I hope they/you keep this one in lollipop)

CM has theme manager which i don't use. Maybe only a dark theme like TRDS had. That new layers thing sounds promising

Only downside to not going for the n7100 rebased kernel would be that kernel devs need to create seperate custom kernels for Nameless/Unofficial CM, Omni/slim(/Paranoid legacy?), (official CM?). But they were doing that already on kitkat.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
My guess would be that omni will rebase as well. If I get thentimw over the weekend I will try and rebase it.

More features incoming on slim don't worry

I think i have a fix for rro Layers as it works on my device now.

I'll add Apollo back in, but arm DSP requires a lot more work. I'll see if I can pull in a load of commits to get boeffla sound into the kernel

As for battery life as it stands most issues are probably due to apps, either not being optimised for L or just ruinous. It's a good idea to delete TalkBack from priv-apps and turn off NFC, daydream etc... That will significantly save battery
[Galaxy S III Android Development] sameer23:
Have you fixed rro(layers) app?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TheRay:
Pretty baby we have got here. I find SlimLP better for my device than CM12 for now. Is smoother than CM12 but there are hiccups and missed swipes and late touches here and there especially while switching between apps. I think you're going good, first try to fix things up and then add the features in. If you just keep adding features and not fixing bugs, this ROM will be the same as the others.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HammDefy:
Actually i wait for the typical FlipTiles that Omni has in 4.4.4. (2G/3G and so on...). I Hope Omni will include them in the sources....

Did a clean install of 20150203-1312 and loosed root again, as mentioned here. Couldn't get it back by installing su :( Am I the only one?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] monte22:
Go to developer option s and see root option give access to what you want
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
That I did 1st. See my earlier post.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Santi3598:
I don't really know how updates work here. For example, on the first page you can download this version made the 20150206 but in the end it says 1038. The update posted on the last page says 20150203 but in the end it says 1312. What does that number at the end mean? :confused:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] RoelD92:
time perhaps :p:p:p:p:p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Santi3598:
OH god, my stupidity never stops to amaze me:eek:

Thank you:good:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Sorry for confusion had to dash off out, won't be home for a few days.

New slim has built.in boeffla and hopefully.much improved battery life.

Alao Ade good progress on rebasing omni still not building but fingers crosased I can get it working off the same sources so make keeping it up to date a lot easiwr .

Not sure about SU bug can anyone else confirm this? I'll try and check Thai weekend but am on family duty
[Galaxy S III Android Development] frankyzah:
is there in this SlimLp rom hwcomposer from dhiru for i9300?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] aliffaminuddin:
wanna try this rom because it is based on aosp.. which of these two is stable as daily driver?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bodo_1:
i miss the settings from the silmkat

sorry for my badass english
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Stevica Smederevac:
We all do:(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bodo_1:
the rom is already on the right track, only the settings are missing but very I go back to the slimkat, shame

I translate with google translator
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Thecrazyskull:
Its no shame look how much progress he made and he is building from sources so the dev can't decide if he includes the settings or not.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 80s Baby:
Pretty sure he meant that he was ashamed that he was using Google translate to talk in English. He wasn't complaining about the rom
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bodo_1:
correctly, the ROM is good, I'm just sad that not all settings are available as in the Slilmkat so I have unfortunately back to the Slimkat
[Galaxy S III Android Development] TheRay:
I am in love with this ROM. I tried lots of ROMs but they all lagged and SlimLP is the only one which doesn't lag. Keep on going, dev! I think its about time you add the settings and Theme Manager now. ;)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] 80s Baby:
Its still in its alpha stages buddy. All those settings will come in as he makes some progress with the ROM.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Hey guys, I just compiled Omni. If all goes well, I shall upload! :)

---------- Post added at 01:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:33 PM ----------

Surprisingly, all went well. I shall upload in a moment :)

EDIT: Thanks a lot [MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION]! I used your source to do this.

I need help in including your device, kernel and vendor source in my local_manifests.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
i wish this rom has advance reboot menu in developer options..or am i mistaken that they were here already? cause i dirty flashed it yesterday..:p
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
found the advance menu in security setting..only thing missing is battery icon mod like circle and text percentage..:D
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Hey guys, here's the build I was talking about

Download

One important thing, Install the ROM without Gapps first, boot and turn on WiFi as soon as you get to the screen. You will have to turn WiFi on after every boot.(You will get soft reboots otherwise!). Now you may install gapps :)

Bugs? Well, the phone issue is fixed and the keyboard thing is no more.

EDIT: Camera doesn't work
[Galaxy S III Android Development] HammDefy:
I'm a great fan of Omni 4.4.4, therefore i tested Omni 5.02 2015-02-03 . I just wonder, what are the differences between Omni 5.02 and cm 5.02 (tested Resurrection Remix, BlissPop and SlimLP)?!?!

btw: I really appreciate the work of all the devs who spend lots of their time in development, compiling and supporting our i9300 with unfortunately locked bootloader. It wold be easier if it had a Snapdragon CPU....
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Omni is AOSP, while CM is AOSP based too, but it uses CAF. I'm not entirely clear on what CAF is, but all I can say is that it's a pain in the ass. You don't have to unlock the bootloader as such. Yep, we're stuck with Exynos.

[MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION], I found out that the device won't sleep and will soft reboot after boot unless you turn wifi on (turning it off later on won't cause any problems), Camera is messed up, can we somehow port Boeffla to Omni?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
New settings in latest build, sure more are too come as well. Theme manager will never be on Slim, as they have decided to use RRO layers. Feel free to look them up or use BitSykos Beta Apk to install them.

G+ group here for explanations

New settings added, the rest will come as the Slim Team add them, or I figure out ways to incorporate existing ones I like

reboot menu is in the security part of the settings menu

battery icons added in latest build

Difference is the source code that the roms are built on.

Currently we are using CAF sources on SlimLP as it gives us a more stable rom :) The fixes you need are in the android_bionic and hardware_broadcom_wlan repositories on my github

Yes SlimLP does, currently Omni does not, but may do in the future

SlimLP is more stable as I spend more time working on it. I would say both can be used as daily drivers, but unless there is something in Omni you specifically want, then Slim is updated and built more often.

tl:dr new settings added in 20150208
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bodo_1:
[MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION] Hi, thanks for your work on what exactly has your new settings today's update?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
Thanks a lot! Even camera is fixed?

I contacted Boeffla about Boeffla kernel and he says I can make one myself. I have no idea how to do that. A little help perhaps [MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION]
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cangcan:
thank you very much [MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION]..just one more thing..but i think you will ended up include it on next update..

sorry for demanding/requesting so much.. just two things left..the basic setting for buttons and also clean recent button too.. :D

this should complete the experience of using this epic smooth room..i dont know why but i felt this rom is kinda smooth and slim..just like its name too..
[Galaxy S III Android Development] exwan:
Gokul werent you going to compile PA?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
[MENTION=4901061]mcgi5sr2[/MENTION]: I installed 20150208 (clean, without GApps, without changing kernel) and, as with earlier builds, I get no root-rights. To avoid repeated stupidity: I activate dev-options and choose root-access for apps&adb. There's checked 'no root' after flashing. Right?

I won't bore you and seem to be the only one, but after flashing various LP-ROMs the last months I'm curious, what I'm doing wrong here :(
[Galaxy S III Android Development] avirankatz:
I lost root access too.. Maybe it has something to do with the recovery I'm using? I use CWM 6
[Galaxy S III Android Development] josephpatrick:
save sms to SIM

does this function actually work on this ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
I don't think so: I use TWRP2.8.4.0.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] avirankatz:
I installed latest build (02/08) but when I go to "About Phone>Build Date" it says Feb 6. "Slim Version" seems to be 20150206.

Is this a problem with the latest build? Anyone else experiencing it? I did a dirty flash so that could also be the reason.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cookiepuppy:
Same here, show build date 6-2-15. But nvm that. I clean flashed the rom left stock kernel, didnt change the setting with any tweaker or such andI did have a bug that remind me of cm12 bug, but this is aosp, i wonder whats going on.

I was using slim lp for half a day, all seems to run good....i made a phone call... Ended.... Made another call but then i get no sound from device earpiece or speaker, the other side could hear me, but i certainly didnt hear him. Rebooting device didnt help.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
I will plan on it if the PA team decides to dump the i9300. They are still confused whether they will support the i9300 or not. Also, I have my exams are coming up in 20 days and I'll be busy for at least a month or so.

Please do quote or mention me if you want me to notice your reply :)
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Dates are from last full build, often if I have only made minor changes I will only rebuild those parts, so date stays on last full build. It is laziness to a degree but a full build can take over 4 hours to complete, and often I don't have that time sorry.

Can you capture a logcat for me please? Would really help narrow this down

If you use Lord Boefflas git repository for your kernel source it should do the job

As for the problem with losing root access I am still looking into it. I'm not sure it will be an easy fix :/
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
As of now Boeffla has only made a CM12 kernel. So a CM12 kernel will work with Omni?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bodo_1:
yes it works with Omni!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] cookiepuppy:
I will try catch one, i just went to my backup, i will flash slim LP and see if it comes back. And catch a log, Btw i seen posts on justarchi cm12 thread mentioning dialer crashes.....maybe similar....?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
You tried? It actually works?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Bodo_1:
yes boeffla kernel works with omni sure
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Yokisen:
If you have time.. Can you please add features like list view animation.. Im asking such thing because this is an Unofficial.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] josephpatrick:
does saving of SMS to SIM option work in this ROM?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Why not try it and let us all know?

So having tested this on my device quite a bit now I am unable to replicate the problem. I can tell you for sure that 2.8.4 caused me days of trouble as I couldn't get it to wipe properly and so it kept restoring parts of the last ROM. I use 2.8.1 and it works fine.

So I am concluding no root issues for now.

I have seen a load of commits on gerrit to address similar issues, so this should be resolved soon :)

New build being worked on
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
[MENTION=5040297]rp158[/MENTION], have you tried flashing another version of SU or tried another superuser manager?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
[MENTION=5231921]Gokulbalram[/MENTION]: yes, I installed CF-SU-app, but it couldn't load the binary. If it's caused by TWRP, this would be the only LP-ROM - I'll shurely not downgrade. But thanks for reacting.

Umm, you could try the Super SU flashable zip. Works for me.

Connecting to a Wi-Fi Hotspot using WPA PSK

Hello all

I installed the 2 packages below yesterday on my S3 International version:

Slim-i9300-5.0.2.alpha.0.91-UNOFFICIAL-20150208-1715.zip

Slim_mini_gapps.BETA.5.0.x.build.0.x-20150213-482.zip

This ROM is very quick. Thank you very much for your work !

The only issue so for is that my S3 had authentication problems connecting to my Note 4 when it was acting as a Wi-Fi Hotspot (using WPA PSK setup). A logcat showed said something about

a problem sharing the key

I changed the Wi-Fi Hotspot setup under Advanced to OPEN and the S3 connected fine to the Hotspot.

I then added the S3's MAC address on my Note 4 to restrict to connections. Everything still worked ok.

Next, I closed the Wi-Fi Hotspot and re configured the Wi-Fi Hotspot setup to WPA PSK again and the S3 still connected OK.

I hope this helps work around helps someone

The only other remark that I have at this point is that I miss option to switch to the dark version of Slim. I guess I just need to be patient.

Many thanks again for this ROM
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Thank you for the work around! Great to hear. For dark themes please see the RRO layers app, and the associated G+ group which should have plenty of themes.

Omni rom not working at all

I have just installed omnirom but it is not working. Repeatedly getting "com.android.phone" process stopped error. My phone doesn't register itself on network. It keeps showing that error message till I switch Aeroplane mode on/off few times. After that it connects to cellular network but is just able to receive call. Can't send calls. Doesn't connect to mobile internet connection. Tried flashing modem, still the same. :crying:
[Galaxy S III Android Development] pearson44j:
Thank you for your reply.

I checked out the url below:

http://xdaforums.com/android/apps-games/official-layers-bitsyko-apps-rro-t3012172

First you need to be sure if your ROM supports Layers, It does? Okay.

1) You will then need to join the BitSyko Development Community.

2) You will have to opt-in for the BETA test of the Layers App.

3) Download the Layers app on to your device.

4) Open the Layers app so it can initialize and create the required folders.

5) Try out the included sample overlays.

I then decided to followed their advice to join the BitSyko Development community where I was able to download their "Layers" apk.

Dark is back :)

Merci !
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gauravlnx:
Ok I installed SlimLp now. Working fine except graphics is dull a bit. Icons looks washed out. Also Buttons and graphics in Google play store are washed out and blurry. Graphics were fine in omnirom.

Is there any setting for that?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] Gokulbalram:
You could have tried my build.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gauravlnx:
As I remember you said there are soft bootloops if wifi is not on and Camera not working.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
Might sound like a silly question but are you sure you are doing a full wipe [MENTION=5040297]rp158[/MENTION] ? Also what variant of the i9300 are you on?

SU

Hi can I get a a quick consensus on how many people have SU problems on SlimLP and what recovery they are using?
[Galaxy S III Android Development] rp158:
Thanks for reacting. I tried yesterday the recent Slim again, clean of course, and got Root back by flashing the recommended SU.zip :good: It's S3 international from 02.2013.

Unfortunately I found more items, I mentioned yet in 12.2014 in this post, and which are solved in Nameless or Moster2's ROM since a few builds:

the annoying reboot by WifiOff-ScreenOff, awake by Home-tap, configurable tiles.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] gauravlnx:
I am using philz recovery. I used "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" - > "Clean to Install new Rom".

also wiped dalvik cache.

After that flashed omnirom zip, super Su then Gapps.

Also tried it without flashing Gapps.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mcgi5sr2:
soft reboot should definitely be fixed in SlimLP now, I'll check with the latest build I've just finished. I'm gong to test TWRP 2.8.5 as well. QS tiles are being refind on the gerrit right now to iron out the bugs etc, probably see that in a week or so in the builds. Still very concerned that you need to re-flash SU after install.

OK so omnirom seems likes its a bit mashed atm, I ran the last build for two days without issue, but a lot has changed since then. I'll try and find time to get a new more stable build.
[Galaxy S III Android Development] mixm:
Hi, just switched from another LL rom, so far SlimLP is smoother. However, I'm also experiencing the same problem with the icons/graphics, maybe a DPI problem?

Can someone also point me in the right direction to remapping my hardware buttons (e.g. menu button to recent apps). I just don't want to mess things up in this install. Thanks!
[Galaxy S III Android Development] OxygeenHD:
As far as i can tell i quickly give i shot to Omni and i noticed some little lags, a random reboot and the phone tells me that "processus.android.phone stopped working."

SlimLP seems to be smoother, didn't noticed any random reboot or FC.
