[Q] Slimkat bugged or Kitkat charms? - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Hello, I've enoguh with waiting and waiting for official 4.4 Kitkat for my i9305 so I decided to install Slimkat.
I made imei/data backups and wipe data/factory reset (via latest CWM recovery), then installed it with gapps from my sd card.
When installation was complete and system loaded, I saw Nova Launcher at "desktop". Okay, then I wanted to check my notification bar and.. it was completely empty. When I was clicking at "human" icon in the corner I heard a sound, but it did nothing. The screen in attachment describes it better.
Also "back" button (near HOME) didn't work. When I opened camera app, I wasn't be able to turn it off/minimalize it. None of buttons worked (back, home, menu, volume up/down) Also when I opened options (after phone restart) it didn't work too. I can't go back to desktop, only to "main settings menu" via touchscreen.
I tried to reinstall ROM (with wipe but without gapps) but I have it again...
Is it possible I made any fault or is it "Kitkat or SlimKat charms"? Any ideas how to "repair it"?
Regards, Atexor
P.S. I'm writing this topic because I haven't enough post to post in Slimkat thread.
P.S.2. I'm really sorry for my English, it isn't my native language.

I had the problem i while ago with a rom (can't remember which one, could be slimkat), why don't you try installing another kitkat rom, i reccomend the new N7105 port for i9305, it's a kitkat 4.4 stock rom!

I repaired the problem I think I needed to install ROM, then launch phone, open CWM recovery again and install gapps. Not "together".
I didn't see this clean ROM before there (i checked only this thread): http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...305/index-samsung-galaxy-s3-lte-roms-t2206898
Now I see it under wrong Jelly Bean section (I sent raport to change it). Maybe I will try it, but I'm not really sure it's Kitkat (it's look like Jelly Bean - KK has diffeernt appaearance I though) and also I read those "overt known" bugs. I have enough with huge amount of bugs after TGP or JustArchi ROm's port...

Okay, that's nice to hear.
Yeah that's because it is the first stock rom which is running kitkat (there isn't a section for that yet)

[Q] Unofficial CM11 Problem

Hi.
I have just flashed the unofficial CM11 rom on the Original Android Development Forum on my TF701T. The install appears to have been successful however the system keeps freezing anwhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes after boot. Before it freezes everything appears to be working as it should. Any ideas what I have done wrong and what I have to do to fix this? Apologies if the same issue has been raised elsewhere.
Many thanks

Are you on the correct bootloader 10.26.1.18 as is required?

I've not heard of this ocurring (my own tab has been running for a while now; no issues of this sort).
Are you on the latest ROM build (01/29)? Have you flashed the appropriate gapps?
Are you on the latest boot loader?
Any apps installed which could cause issue?
If it happens when plugged in to USB, is isb OK on your PC/Mac?
Have you used titanium backup to restore system level stuff from a non compatible build?
Do this,
Go back to stock (latest release from asus) and observe for an hour or two. Any issues? If not then flash ROM + gapps and wipe. Don't sign in and don't restore apps. Any issues? Then sign in and restore. Any issues? And so on and so forth until.you find the break point.
Thank you for your prompt responses as always and apologies for not replying sooner.
SDbags I am installing CM11 over your own excellent 4.3+ stock rooted v2 ROM which I believe involved updating my boot loader. I am unsure how to confirm the version I am on but booting into recovery shows the following
Android Macallan-user BL released by ww_epad-10.26.1.7-20131108.
Pershoot once the new CM11 was first flashed the TF701 would freeze during the setup steps well before any 3rd party apps could be installed. After a number of attempts I manage to get through set up and the system becomes a lttle more stable but then freezes after a few more minutes. I can conform that the correct gapps has been flashed using the link on the associated thread and no additional apps except the ones included on the ROM have been flashed. The system freezes without being plugged into the PC via USB and as mentioned before I am coming from sdbags stock rooted 4.3 ROM and have not used titanium back up at all.
A couple of additional point
1) I have tried to reflash sdbags ROM again but it now gets stuck on a bootloop.
2) I noticed that my install of CM11 is not able to access either an SD card placed in the dock or MicroSD placed in the tab despite the system recognising when they are inserted or removed on the task bar.
3) Because the system freezes so quickly it tabvery difficult to transfer a new ROM downloaded to my PC over to the TF701 because the moment it freezes the PC can't communicate with the tab.
Apologies if this reply is a little onerous - any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you both again for your prompt response to my.request for help.
Kind regards,
East
Hold down Volume Down and Power and read the bootloader version from the top left.

That's the wrong BL to be on. I don't believe sdbags' ROM updates BL. You must do it via Asus's update.
Go back to stock recovery and follow asus's procedure to update yourself to their latest 10.26.1.18 (4.3) build.
Dear SD Bags & Pershoot,
Apologies for not responding to your feedback sooner - Its been a busy week at work.
I will follow your advise and update the bootloader via the ASUS website and try to reinstall the rom again over the weekend or early next week and I will update this thread with the results. Once again apologies for not following the instructions more carefully.
Many thanks & kind regards,

Hi felIas.
I have updated the bootloader as I should have done initially which appears to have sent me back to stock unrooted 4.3. Please could you confirm that all I need to do now is install the recovery image and then flash CM11 and GApps? Does the rom file work the same way as SDbags rom where it also roots the phone as part of the installation or do I need to somehow root first?
Having said all this I am considering leaving the system as stock until a work around for sky go on rooted 4.4.2 devices is found!
Many thanks again for your guidance and patience.

Hey there I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing my problem. I updated to CM11 on my TF701 and while the dock and keyboard works some of the keys are dead i.e. Settings button, toggle wifi, toggle bluetooth, screenshot, disable trackpad, and auto brightness. Is there any way to fix this? I have tried editing the qwerty files and installing the asus keyboard apk, but neither worked. The APK did not install and editing the qwerty.kl file quite literally did nothing. Also curious if there is a way to get an external mouse to behave the way it did on JB left click is a standard touch and right click is back?

Which is the proper way to downgrade from cm11 to cm10.2?

I upgraded my p1000 from cm10.2 to cm11 few weeks ago but the latest cm11 seems to be a bit laggish on my device and I'd like to go back to cm10.2, first of all... is it possible? If so, which is the proper way to do it?

I'd recommend you try OmniROM Its what I'm using on my "P1" and although it has its share of problems. Wired Headsets don't seem to be working. Its no more worse then CM10 was, and on that note why CM10.2 which like CM10.1 was broken beyond use? The only decent CM10 was CM10 from 2013 - 02 - 03. Which AFAIK was the last fully working CM10 Mod for the P1000. As the 10.1 and .2 had the Camera Bugs.
In any case Omni is pretty well supported with near nightly, or at the lest every other night updates. As long as you don't get crazy with it with Live Wallpapers, like my Old man was trying to run on it. (He too has a P1000), its pretty damned responsive. But. Again you ONLY have 512MB of RAM on the P1000. In some rear cases even less then this!
In my Fathers case the same sh-- that was causing his CM11 to lag like heck, was the same crap that was making the fresh install of his CM10 (version as dated above!), lag just as bad. So you might want to first clean up such resource hungry Apps as you have first.
But, on the Latest OmniROM for the P1 (Int't GSM version), as of 06.08.14 (Which is still the the most current at the time I wrote this), just running the Google Now Launcher, and a few widgets. The Tablet doesn't feel any considerably slower then it did back in CM10, and the Google Now Launcher is a KEEPER! I can't imagine wanting to roll back to CM10.
P.s. Did you remember to reset your Firmware + wiping the Cache Partition, and Dalvik Cache? This could also partially explain your problems. If you, had not done this.
P.p.s. Download your ROM, and appropriate GAPPs Package, then reboot your P1000 by pressing both the Volume Up, and Power Button till you see the Galaxy Tab / Samsung Bootloader Screen. Then release the Power Button, while continuint to hold the Volume Up till you fully enter the Recovery Mode.
Once in the Recovery Mode do the following Factory Reset, then Wipe Cache Partition and the Dalvik Cache (Advanced Settings). Then install your CM10.x ROM from where you stored it i.e. the /Download Folder? And when thats though. Your GAPPs Package as well. After which you then boot into your new ROM. Which might take a few moments longer, on the first boot as the Database(s)? have to built from scratch again.
Mmmhh I think I'll follow your suggestion and I'll try OmniROM. Have you used the CWM recovery or the TWRP suggested on their official wiki to flash the omnirom?

The way I described it before was for CWM. OmniROM uses TWRP. The ideas the same, in fact its a bit simpler on TWRP, in as far as it simplifies the wipe progress. Just One TIP download and install SuperSU, and run it. Once your rooted, go into your System Settings and click on the SuperSu Setting, (near the bottom), and it should ask you if you want to use a backup script, to keep root! You should run this if you want to... Need to keep Root for say AdAway. As OmniRom does NOT ship out with Root... WHY?! I can't say.
Other then that the only other annoying things I dislike about this ROM is that I have to keep uninstalling the Apollo Player. as well as reinstalling the Xposed Installer reset the "ro.config.low_ram" from true, to false, to re-enable transparencies, as well as other Lock Screen Widgets. After each update. Which again averages about every other day. I use something called ROM Toolbox Lite to do this, as trying to do this manually I always seem to gimp my install to a point of bootlooping.
But, other then these little niggles I actually like this ROM! for the most part.
And we should discourage question thread in development forum.

Hi everyone,
This ROM is great. every things are working well.
But I don't know how to change the "Right hard key's function. I don't want it show the "recent apps" when we press.
It should be a menu key when we using App.
Please support!
Thanks,

no root after flashign WizCyan
After flashing WizCyan 4 with update 1 I don't have root access. I've tried reinstalling several times and I've also tried to install superSU on it's own using CWM, both the latest version and older versions, with no success. I've also tried to install just v4 but the problem persists. Does anybody have any clue on what could be wrong? I've had root on the phone using other ROMs. I use the latest CWM.
And yes, I chose no when promted to fix superuser in CWM. Although I have also tried to pres yes during one installation.
What version of cwm are you having? Also when you click on the supersu app what message do you get?
I used version 6.0.3.5. Today I installed 6.0.5 and redid the flashing of the update and also of superSU 2.16 by it self from CWM. No difference
When i press the superSU app I dont get any message really. Looking at the log it's as if though the app denies all apps access without asking. I tried changing the settings in superSU to allow all requests and then the phone passed the check with root checker and root apps also seem to work. No app is added to the SuperSu applist.

I would suggest that you do a clean install of the ROM, now that your recovery has been updated
Excessive consumption of battery
Sorry, but this was translated by google.
I found a big problem in version 4 and is the battery, prior to this version, the battery works well, the battery lasted the whole day, but now the battery hopefully enduring three hours.
Please, give solution to this problem or any suggestions, as I really like this ROM and do not want to change the other.
Thanks in advance.

Ok, did some testing and found that some of the init.d scripts were eating battery therefore have posted an update in the OP removing these and battery consumption should be better after flashing this update.

Sure, you can install on any firmware, but if you have wifi issues then you may need to flash modem or some other workaround. Just wipe data/factory reset and install version 04 followed by update 02. I am not sure on what you mean by memory but presume that you are referring to internal sd card. This will depend on what apps/features you install from the addon package and playstore. The ROM will not affect your internal sdcard space as it will be installed on the reserved system space.

In case you want to use screen mirroring then you would need to install allshare from the addon package
I've been tinkering with trying to get WizCyan totally working on my device for a couple of days, but I can't for the life of me get Wifi working (at first it was root access, but that was fixed by upgrading CWM). Here is the exact process I've followed:
Updated CWM to 6.0.5 (PhilZ's version)
Did a factory reset from recovery (I didn't use the "Clean to install new ROM" function)
Installed WizCyan version 4, followed by update 2
Rebooted, attempted to configure WiFi -- failed.
Flashed the NE5 modem package from the links in the dev thread, using Odin 3.07 -- twice each, as instructed
Still can't get my Wifi to enable. The flash was successful, as I can see the correct baseband on the "about" screen, but it refuses to enable. I'm in Australia, but I believe this phone came from UAE -- would that make a difference to the way the modem interacts with the Wifi hardware? I pulled this info from logcat:
Code:
I/WifiManager( 1084): setWifiEnabled : true
I/WifiService( 882): setWifiEnabled: true pid=1084, uid=10008
E/WifiHW ( 882): ##################### set firmware type 0 #####################
E/WifiHW ( 882): Cannot open "/data/.cid.info": No such file or directory
E/WifiHW ( 882): ==========[WIFI] Station firmware load ===========
E/WifiHW ( 882): return of insmod : ret = -1, Exec format error
E/WifiStateMachine( 882): Failed to load driver
E/WifiStateMachine( 882): sendErrorBroadcast code:10
E/WifiController( 882): Wi-Fi driver is unstable. Received CMD_STATEMACHINE_RESET
In the mean time, I'm going to try to source either a local radio, or one from the original region, to see if that helps.

Can't get anything much from the logcat, it refers to a file that gets created on 1st boot you can try doing a factory reset from settings--> backup & restore--> factory data reset. Only backup your internal sd card before doing this as it will wipe your entire phone including internal sdcard and then reflash the modem.

Well if I'm going to go that far, I may as well do it properly and completely restore the phone to stock and start again. When I bought it, the first thing I did was root, flash CWM and a CM based ROM -- it's probably worth starting fresh anyway, I'm only going to be using it for a couple more weeks until it's replacement arrives.
I'm currently downloading the latest firmware for my region (XSA), a 4.2.2 based MK3 build from the end of last year -- do you think I'd have better chances if I restored to a 4.4.2 build (like NE5), or should it not matter if I completely reset the phone to factory settings/software?

Generally doing a factory reset from the phone resets the entire firmware and is helpfull to resolve such issues. if you want to install the entire firmware, I would recommend flashing the 4.4.2 PHN firmware you can get the download link in post# 13. But then there were wifi issues after flashing the PHN firmware for which a factory reset from the phone happened to be the solution.

Thanks for that mention of the firmware, I had the radio from that link but forgot you'd also linked the full package. Google Drive is much faster than the websites I'd been trying to get files from, it took 15 hours to download the XSA firmware I was originally going to use.
You were totally correct, resetting the phone was the solution. I got the PHN firmware, flashed it via ODIN only to find it still hadn't fixed the WiFi problem -- even after a factory reset -- however the process of flash/reset/re-flash fixed it for me -- it seems unnecessary to me, but I guess times have changed since I last tinkered with unlocked devices. I'm happy to say that I now have WiFi working under WizCyan now, just wanted to check back in just in case anybody else was facing similar issues. As painful as it is to have to back up and totally restore, sometimes starting completely fresh is the best solution.
Now I'm off to rebuild my SD Card, lol.

I got the PHN firmware, flashed it via ODIN only to find it still hadn't fixed the WiFi problem -- even after a factory reset -- however the process of flash/reset/re-flash fixed it for me -- it seems unnecessary to me, but I guess times have changed since I last tinkered with unlocked devices. I'm happy to say that I now have WiFi working under WizCyan now, just wanted to check back in just in case anybody else was facing similar issues. As painful as it is to have to back up and totally restore, sometimes starting completely fresh is the best solution.
Now I'm off to rebuild my SD Card, lol.

Glad to know that you managed to get the wifi working.
Personally, I did not face the wifi issue after flashing PHN firmware, but know that quite a few have faced this issue as reported in this thread
Normally my understanding and experience is that when you flash different modems / firmware some corruption occurs and factory reset from within the phone resets the partition & firmware. 1st time I experienced this was when I was using a MTK 6575 based device and had amended the EBR, MBR and scatter files to modify the partition sizes, even though these were flashed through mobiuncle tools (similar to odin), the revised partitions did not get changed until I did a factory reset from within the phone. I know that this is irrelevant here but thought that I would share this.

Was this v19? There was known issues with this, and other ROMs based on the Community ROM N7105 Port.
v20 is out now and is based on a proper I9305 based firmware, and doesn't seem to have the known Youtube issues.
The Power disconnect issue is still around I think (unfortunately) but this a kernel-based problem which I can't fix.
At the moment, custom bootanimation doesn't exist in v20 until a hack is done for it.
yes. v19
thanks for answering the rest
got confused - re boot animation " Remove Samsung / Carrier Bootanimation (allow for custom Bootanimations) "

I'm researching this at the moment. Hopefully there is a way I can fix the ROM so I don't have to use a third-party app to do it. Worse case scenario I'll search the Play Store and see what I can find.
Doesn't boot
Hey,
I just tried to flash your 20.10 version on my I9305, formerly running TGP 4.3. I'm on TWRP 2.6.3.0 Recovery.
Flashing works fine. But the phone doesn't boot up. I also did the Full wipe (Dalvik, Cache, System, Data, Internal Storage) but all I see when booting up is the "Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE" Screen and then the screen goes and stays black.
Does anyone have an idea what could be the problem here?
Edit: I'm on old bootloader and tried different installation options.

Same here, I'm on new bootloader, philz recovery, I did a full whipe and still nothing
It was fully tested on a old bootloader with a complete wipe using the AGNi Kernel and TWRP Recovery.

Aha, I have new bootloader plus philz, I'll try with TWRP
With TWRP 2.6.3.0 it works (2.7.0.0 has some problems with showing aroma files corectly om i9305)
I installed version 20.01 now which works fine. No idea why it doesn't work with 20.10.
Does not connect to the computer

Hi. I'm new here Get me beautiful [=
I installed the ROM v20.10 all works very well.
But I connect the phone to a computer to transfer files. It only charges battery. I did not connect memory card or cell phone why?

A few errors.
Hi all! I flashed this rom a while back and have had a few errors. I did flash the proper modem and all and everything is fairly smooth. I'm not sure if I'm just being too picky, but I'd like to give my feedback and get some opinions...
I really enjoy the standard wanam and exposed installer options!
The errors:
Occasionally, i get repetitive notifications of my text messages. I will view a text message, dismiss the notification and i will get a random notification a few hours later, no new message...
Another problem i have had is with one particular messaging app called line. When i get an onscreen notification (one that pops up even if the display is a sleep), follow the shortcut to view the message, unlock the screen and reply, the keyboard doesn't register text. The predictions will show up but no yext is entered until i exit and re enter the app from the hone screen. This only happens with this app and no other apps that require text input. I have changed the keyboard and reinstalled the app, checked and reset settings... Everything i can think of short of reinstalling the rom. I suppose it could be an incompatibility issue, a bad install of the rom, or the rom has a glitch as far as allowing for this screen off pop-up to app transition.
Beyond that, it's a great development. Thank you!
Feedback and suggestions :
I would love it if there were a few notification bloats removed. For instance, the persistent and annoying earphones connected shortcut notification, the on screen wifi connected notification and the data roaming off (or something to that effect). I have checked and searched for work arounds for these abd couldn't dig anything up. The horrendous touchwiz in this version has seemed to strio away some options that were previously there...
Keep up the good work!
5*
Its working fine the new update !
thx

What is the best ROM for Z1

Hello, i have the c6903 and a modded but official 5.01 ROM along with Twin Recovery and Exposed.
The phone works ok until it starts to seriously lag, with icons taking ages to appear on screen (like the HOME screen or APPs screen). Also at points, it fails to recognize any WIFI signals. It is as if there are no signals at all.
The biggest issue is the reboot. In order to restart OS i have to enter recovery and wipe Cache which leads to an approximatelly ~13minutes boot up time.
Now i browsed the ROM section and i've nerver seen so many ROMs available before. It makes it hard to choose which on to install.
I need a rom with Dual Recovery and root. Which is the best offer at the moment with SONY camera software working? I dont care for experimental ROMs but i need something stable, fast and well, fast.
Thanx for reading this.
Hi, installing Xposed Framework will it lead me to bootloops? Was that the cause of my bootloops with the .254(i think) version?
Hi,
First, there is no such thing as "Best ROM", the best to do is search the Development Thread, read some threads, some comments and go for the ROM that interests you. I am running Stock Rooted + Xposed and it has been quite nice to me.
About your question, Xposed is still in alpha version, so maybe it indeed caused bootloops, but latest version has been running fine on my device. I'm running .270 firmware by the way.
All the best,
~Lord
