Ok I am going to make it Abundantly Clear. So there is ZERO I mean ZERO CONFUSION.

What this is NOT -

This is not a Weekly. This is not Stable. If you are looking for either, you are in the wrong thread.

This is Not a Daily Driver. If you are looking for one, go to SlimKat Thread.

This is not Fully Functional Picture Perfect Rom. You do not get to Complain and call names on the thread if you expected anything else.

This Build does have bugs. Those that are known to me are listed Bellow.

What this is -

This is an Early Alpha Build. To those who don't know, that's prior Stage of a Beta or Weekly Build.

Its a Preview of things to come. If you notice, my list of Features is lacking quiet a few of Slim Features.

Yes there are bugs. The ones I do know are

Root does not Stick. See Notes Bellow.

Stock Camera clicks but does not take pictures. When you switch to Video Mode, you'd get error "Unable to Connect to Camera". Afterwards you have to reboot to clear.

Some of the 3rd Party Camera Apps work. For Ex. Open Camera, VivaVideo

APN Menu does not show any of the APNs for at least Sprint Variant.

When connected to WiFi, MMS are delayed. Only seems to affect D2VZW.

NOTES -

This is a D2GSM Build. So it is equally applicable to D2ATT as well as D2TMO.

You must Flash SuperSU [STABLE][2015.01.20] SuperSU v2.4.5 as a Zip file along after flashing Rom.

If you posted a bug/issue not listed above, without a Logcat, I will ignore it.

Unless specified otherwise, do not dirty flash on top of SlimKat or Other Roms. If you did and then complained even with Logcat, I will ignore.

Just in Case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] scottricketts:
Didn't see anything device specific in the changelog. How is the camera working so far?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Prack:
Like other LP ROMS, camera clicks but no pics.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I'll be flashing this tonight and posting a bug report in a few days if I see anything out of sorts. Thanks once again for a new build, Perseus!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] uberbdon:
What happened?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
Just to chime in on gps, it works flawlessly for me. I have been testing these alphas for awhile and GPS has been great so it may be somewhat device specific. SlumsnoopOS, I'm also in the DC area. Do o you get good gps on slimkat? Also does mms seem to come in if you are connected to wifi? For me, if I'm on wifi it won't come until I get off wifi. Finally, occasionally I get a weird android phone FC that repeats until I reboot, like it's trying to connect the radio and it keeps failing, never happen to you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Ironically enough, it's perfect with the same firmware/modem combo on KitKat. I must admit that I haven't tested on just VRBMF1 firmware or VRBMF1 firmware/VRUCML1 combo. Which modem do you have installed?

If I don't have mobile data turned on, I do not get notifications for MMS. However, I always keep my mobile data enabled while on wifi so I get notified about MMS as they come in. Old habit that I have from SlimKat cuz I don't get MMS when data is not enabled, which is in contrast to TW.

Surprisingly no, I don't get any FCs despite all that I have restored with TiBu lol SlimLP has been rock solid in that regard for me. Btw, I'm adding one edit to my last post about build.prop edits.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Blaiser47:
I'm on ne1 modem with mf1 firmware. Maybe I'll try an older combo and that will fix the phone FC thing. Not sure on gps for you, it's weird that it works for me...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Yea, I have no clue either. I've since flashed just the VRBMF1 firmware and then VRUCML1 modem and GPS just never finds me on any modem. That's with multiple reboots and even pulling the sim card I can get one general lock but exiting the GPS status app and toggling GPS again loses me. It's not a permanent lock. I think I recall doing this before and just couldn't figure it out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
You getting camera and video recording to work? Anyone? Using Viva video and open camera? If so do I need to freeze camera first?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Can Someone Do me a Favor ? Do the following.

1. Install Syslog app and grant Root Access.

2. Reboot and then immediately launch Stock Camera. Turn on the Video Mode.(Yes I know it will have error)

3. Grab a Log out of Syslog, It will zip the 3 files (KMSG, LAST_KMSG and Logcat) Post that zip.

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Since you flashed firmware as did I, I don't know why this is necessary, but who am I, maybe going back to TW as usual might fix the GPS lock issue. It's seems to have fixed it for me on AICP. I can't wait to try slim agian, and RRO layers. But I'm happy where I'm at the the moment because my phone is my DD and needs to stay that way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
OP Updated with LP 5.1.1 Build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Thanks man, I'm downloading it soon and I'll try giving this a test run for the weekend!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BattsNotIncld:
The S3 is no longer my daily driver, but I still have it so I tried out your latest SlimLP build (5.1.1). Everything seems to be working. WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth. I can't comment on cell signal since I don't have Verizon anymore. Stock camera (the one packaged) works now. It's still a bit buggy but I remember it being unusable before so this is a major improvement. Video recording and front facing camera both seem to work fine. Camera will hesitate when flash is on but eventually takes a picture. Way around that is to touch focus first before taking a shot. Sometimes the camera freezes but if you exit the app and re-enter it works again. I certainly did not do any extensive testing so YMMV.

Oh, also the splash screen is FUBAR. Not sure if it's supposed to be like that lol.

Besides that it's snappy and smooth like I always expect from Slim. Thanks for the build!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] majixx11:
I'm gonna give this a test but I'm having a hard time finding the gapps. Which section is the slim lp gapps in? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Posting this if you have not found this yet, slim lp gapps.

And I still have to flash this rom, long long weekend with Mother's day and work got the better of me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maroc81:
Running Great

I just flashed the latest 0509 and it's running great! Everything appears to be working, however, I can't figure out how to get to recent apps? Long pressing home or pressing twice does nothing. Is there something I'm missing? I'm using the slim launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yeah Long Press Recents was not functioning in that build. Try the latest one I have uploaded. Splash Screen should be fixed as well.

Check the Gapps Thread linked in OP.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maroc81:
I just flashed 0521. Now none of my buttons work :( I can hit the home button to wake up but after that, the buttons do nothing. When I flashed, I formatted system, wiped the cache, flashed slimlp, flash gapps, then flashed supersu.

Any chance I could fix this by modifying build.prop? Or is it going to take a new build and flash?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maroc81:
That should be 0520 for the rom. Gapps were 0521.

I enabled the navigation bar in settings so now I can at least use my phone without having to rollback to the previous version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks for letting me know. I was trying out a fix for the Recents. Guess that didn't help. I will push have pushed another build.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] maroc81:
Thanks! The 0604 build is working great with the hardware buttons. I can even configure each hardware button to whatever I want! Awesome!

So far, I'm loving lollipop. However, I'm having some problems getting the celluar internet working. Today is the second day in the past couple of weeks where I can't get celluar internet. Rebooting the phone, toggling airplane mode, turning cellular data on and off, nothing seems to work. Any idea what the problem is? Anything I can do to troubleshoot? This happens other times as well but it would only be a problem for a little while until I rebooted or toggled airplane mode.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Check your APNs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
First venture into Slim LP. Sure feels more developed than just an Alpha. Great Job, Perseus!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jackyalice:
I flashed M2 build. It works so smoothly.

:good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
The M2 build you speak of. Is this the latest build from androidfilehost? So far, and I haven't looked in a week or two, but I've never been able to find any downloads for the S3 on slimroms.net.

A question for anyone out there. SInce I've never used RRO, but have read up on it, I'm wondering how everyone likes it compared to the old CM theme engine. Or rather, the new CM theme engine for lollipop.

I'm sure the rom is super stable even though the sign says alpha or beta. Slim stable, is usually extra stable.. LOL. This is one thing I've always loved about slimrom builds. However, when the CM theme engine was removed in KK, I started using other roms. Although dis-satisfied in many regards with the other roms, having been a die hard slimrom user in the past, It's tough for any rom to match the quality of slim. Thanks to perseus(sp) for continuing to build for the s3 / d2vzw.

I know the following is something you never ask. How far away is a slim LP stable build? Not that it matters as SlimSnoop reports a very stable rom, and I trust his judgement.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You

should NOT

download anything from Slimroms.net. The new website is Slimroms.eu. Please make sure to get it right.

M2 is a CM Tag. Slim has NEVER used that tag for Stable or KK weeklies.

For now, stick with my builds on AFH. Slim will reach Stable tag when all the supported devices reach stable tag. Until then we'll be Beta. Just be aware, TRDS is around the corner and may make an appearance down the road.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Thanks, I didn't realize the website had changed. Perhaps they should put that up on their old site to tell users to go to the new .eu domain.

I figured the builds on AFH were the latest and greatest. But was just wondering. Haven't tried any yet, but probably tomorrow night or wed when I'm off a few days from work I will. AICP has been giving me issues with FFC, and although I love some of the additional features like being able to adjust the timeout for back to kill, and little things like that, putting a powerbutton in quicksettings because my powerbutton is torn out now, and others, my FFC hasn't been working on that rom for quite some time now. It runs well, but some things are messing up randomly, which could be a theming issue with a theme I'm using. I'm using Cobalt for POP but holding volume to skip tracks works at times and at others it doesn't. I don't know what's up with that. This also happened on CM. So it's probably an issue with my theme messing things up.

Every rom I've used so far other than AICP has a working FFC that I never use but want working. Well I haven't tried it on slim, but I intend to in a day or so, and I'll have to get acquainted with RRO layers. From what I've read it should be as good or better than the older updated theme engine. I can't imagine why slim would go to that if it weren't superior. Slim has always been a superior rom in many regards, but around 8-9 they removed theming, and I went to nameless which worked well most of the time, had only features that I used, and the adjustable time to kill apps as well.

Thanks again for the input. Hell, I might go ahead and take the plunge tonight.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] griz.droidx:
Looks like a newer build is out that I hadn't noticed from July 7-8 or so. Definitely trying it out tonight. I know TDRS isn't in there, but maybe RRO will full fill my theming needs. Here goes nothing. I'm sure it'll be great.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
That latest build, I didn't include RRO Support. So it may not work completely. I will include it next time.

Edit - What is FFC ? If its the Camera, its working fine to my knowledge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Krystalmyth:
Um, shouldn't the op be updated to reflect this? You can edit your posts on XDA. Not exactly technical documentation. I could have used this months ago, but gave up when I didn't see an s3 option. If you guys are gathering interest levels based in downloads, a good chunk of them probably went elsewhere when running into this confusion. Sorry but anlil kerfuffled by the 'get it right' line in your response when the opening post clearly states slimroms.net is the source for official downloads.

For those looking https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=31178
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Krystalmyth:
Please note, I am completely in love with this rom and I am in complete and utter appreciation for the efforts done here. The boot time to this rom is staggeringly fast and ugh it's so nice not getting random reboots and having working features. My phone feels young.

I'm just here to report in lieu, a bug report on Layers for this current model. All layers have a white background in Settings. As well as Framework errors. This is apparently due to "the latest commits" for Layers have to be added by the rom maintainer.

This is what all the layers devs have told me, and I made sure before coming here with such a request. Atm there aren't any Layers that fully function without these commits. Wish I knew more about this myself. Really appreciate the time again. Honestly if not for this, I think this would be my daily driver till the day the phone dies.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I wasn't paying attention and Perseus uploaded a new Beta 0.6 (in the header) on Aug. 31/Sep 1.

Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jaws4God:
i'm not sure why i have so much trouble finding the downloads.. but when I go to the Slimroms.eu website.. i don't see a downloads page..

I then went to this link : https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=31178 but realized its for TMobile.. I would need d2vzw .

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
That's just the page title. If you click on the builds they're there for the various d2 devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
Just got the 0.8 version. Getting bootloops flashing over 0.6. Anyone else having success?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Yes I noticed it too late. The kernel isn't completing load. Will look into it soon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Krystalmyth:
That bad huh? Wonder if any other kernel will work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I was unsuccessful using Decimalman's kernel with the 0.8 build, but perhaps I missed something.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Really ? Were you using Most recent DKP ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I tried both the 0729 and the 1004 versions and no go.

In fact I tried them both on the 0.6 build and while it started there were odd things there, too. The LiveBoot app from Chainfire showed nothing but Kernel messages during boot up, most were something about not finding a command. And with the 1004 kernel on the 0.6 build, CatLog wouldn't start. All very odd.

I had built 0.6 clean and did try to upgrade to 0.8 on top of it; perhaps that was the issue with 0.8.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks for the findings. There is a issue with the kernel in 0.8. However, 1004 of DKP is slightly older than CM kernel. This makes incompatible with changes that should go with 0.8
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Krystalmyth:
So should we try a cm based kernel? I didn't realize Slim was so tied to Cm commits. Do you no longer have a D2lte phone to test on? If you need some active test by nies I'm up to the task. I've no work ATM yet is my daily driver so I can afford to be flashing duds if I must. If it will help I volunteer as tribute.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Thanks, I don't think that'd be needed. I have cleaned up that mess. Should have a build up later today or tomorrow.

I still have D2TMO for a DD.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
I have been running alpha .9 since Saturday and I am thoroughly impressed. I've only installed a handful of apps since initial boot, and I have restored a few via Titanic Backup. It's been as stable as I could have hoped. I've had multiple phone calls, GPS, Web browsing, and texts with little to no issue. Only issue I've noticed has been texts sometimes get stuck on sending for a bit but they do eventually go through. Recently, I purchased a new battery as my old one was 3 years old and this rom has consistently reached 3-4 hours of screen on time for me. Great job like always [MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION].
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
You might want to look at the Kernel in the same download folder for what's coming in the next release.

Its a generic Slim Kernel for D2LTE
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] gadgetguy08:
I am not sure what is going on. Clean flash. When I run Catlog it starts but will not display anything. When I run Liveboot from Chainfire I only see kernel logs on start up and most of the entries had "invalid function". I tried the new kernel (very cool boot animation!) and it did the same thing.

I had seen the same thing on the the prior build.

Nandroided back to previous ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
Anyone else having issues sending photos via text? Every text I attempt to send fails once I add a picture in the equation. I am using the VRBMF1 firmware with VRUDNE1 modem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
ALL - Op Updated. The new weekly this time has additional Kernel Features listed in OP. In addition it contains other Rom fixes & Enhancements. Please see recent commits for further details.

You now do not need to flash the SlimKernel zip file. Those are all in here. If this release is stable, I want to release it as first Stable. So please post back with your impression.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SlimSnoopOS:
After multiple days of use, I can say this .10 release is really solid. I've been averaging 3-4 hours of screen on over mostly wifi. Calls seem to work fine. GPS is fine from what I can tell, although I don't use GPS daily so someone else should test this. LTE works well and so does toggling it down to 3g for use in low signal areas. I have noticed some issues with loss of signal but it's only at my place of work. With a locked screen, it'll say I have no signal but checking Signal Strength says it's roughly -110 dBm so I'm unsure of what to think. I can't tell if this is due to the large number of people in the venue (over 15K) or if it occurs when I head to the lowest level of the venue at any time before the large crowds arrive. I have to check again today and see how it fares. I missed two calls at work the last time and only noticed cuz Google Voice caught them during this no signal period. I can't say definitively when my signal dropped though. SMS have been sending but I have had issues at home as well They will send more often than not, but they do get stuck on sending at/around -110 dBm. Unfortunately, I average -95 dBm to -110 dBm so this has happened often. Also, I have not been able to test mms. I did on the last build and surprisingly forgot about it on this build.

Been running the Slim governor with solid performance. No issues with any root apps except Light Flow (yes, I am fully aware we can tweak LED in settings). Light Flow just isn't working for me for some odd reason. Adaway, ES File with root, Titanium Backup, TricksterMod, and Wakelock Detector each work great with SuperSU 2.46 installed. All in all, solid performance but I have some trouble in low signal areas. Very interested to hear others' experiences, moreso with signal than anything else. Thanks for the latest build [MENTION=3639717]Perseus[/MENTION].
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] dpeeps74:
I tried. When LP first came out I tried every rom/gapps combination I could and none would work properly until I tried aicp (apologies for being spammy) and some randomly found gapps package from March. It's apparently the only combination that I can still install. When I install slim or any other rom with any gapps package it will just never sign into Google even though I have full internet access via wifi, lte, or 3g. I wish I knew what the reason was because I miss slim.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Perseus:
Can you please link me to the Exact Slim Gapps Package you had used?

For your Reference, the Slim Gapps thread is in OP.
