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 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)
But if you want to look for root it's better to to:

Goodluck! :good:
Hello,
About 2 weeks ago, I flashed a new rom on my Xperia SP (XperianZe 4.4 ROM). First thing I noticed is that the screen was flickering, much like the old 4.3 firmware versions. And so I flash CM11 as an alternative (official build). But, CM11 got my screen flickering too...
Then I tried the stock firmware 12.1.A.1.205 with stock kernel. No flickering screen...
So what I noticed from all this is that when I flash other kernels, like DooMLoRD's kernel or the stock CM11 kernel, the screen starts flickering.
What I tried:
-Reflashing both ROMS and kernels twice.
-Factory reset.
-Disabling hardware acceleration through developer options (which worked for most of the people with this problem, but on stock firmwares..)
-Disabling hardware acceleration through scripts and other flashable zip files.
-Other developer options such as GPU rendering on/off.
Please help...I really want to switch to a KitKat ROM, as Sony has unfortunately decided not to release 4.4 for our SP
Thanks in advance

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.

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.

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

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

I had the same issues as you and I finally found a ROM that is really smooth! However it does not have Sony camera software as it is based on cm12, the ROM is crdroid
Thamx for the reply guys
I created a new ROM with WifiCalling: [ROM][TMOBILE][S7_SM-G930T][Oreo 8.0 Rooted][WifiCalling]
ROM last updated: 9/24/2018
Introduction:
HUGE thanks to the guys that got this going like root & figuring out hybrid stocks! This thread here is just my take and customization on what they already did. Ultimately, I wanted Oreo rooted & modded, but I couldn't find a single guide. And the ROMs that existed weren't exactly what I was looking for. I wanted something exclusive to Tmobile. So I did a ton of reading and compiled it all together into a HOPEFULLY easy guide to follow. PS If you like Samsung bloatware, this is NOT for you!
Description:
EXTREMELY debloated! Nearly bare minimum, while still retaining hardware functionality. Eg, Samsung Gallery & Camera exist so we get 4k recording, and there aren't errors when we pull up the Gallery to edit, etc.
Everything possible I replace Samsung with Google
Solid ROM, very fast
There are very few options in Aroma to limit issues & repeatability. There are many options once booted up after initial setup
If you hate Samsung SW and just want a solid working ROM with very few install options to get you up and running this is for you.
Aroma installer layout is a little wonky, apologies (If anyone knows how to fix this please chime in )
This will delete all of your data! This is the only way so don't ask. Backup your data!

Optional Tmobile Apps

Meant no offensive at all, I assure you. Did I completely misunderstand the point of the xda community? I clearly gave you credit and didn't say I created this from scratch, rather pieced it together, literally what every Dev here does. I am not doing this for money. I mentioned & thanked you, which is probably how you found this thread. All I am trying to do is give back to the community. I spent a TON of time going through guides, updating what I found, creating a guide, and testing this - I didn't just rebrand it.
That said, I did use part of your work so I'll give you the choice: can I use part of your work and allow the xda community to benefit, or do you want me to remove your segment & Lanc app this comes with?
Btw see the post above yours. And shouldn't this chat be on PM? For reference, what I used from you was your apks so I didn't have to redownload & retest them and aroma script for a starting point, but the script is 90% different at this point.
Again, I did not mean to offend, but please let me know if I have your permission. Thank you
Good news! We got @Lanc-City 's blessing to continue to use his base ROM & LancControl app. This XDA community is AWESOME! Don't forget to go and check out his original Mod'd ROM: Project L s7 Google/Samsung Oreo Rom CRF1
VoLTE icon fix
Not sure if this will work for everyone. Download System UI Tuner by Zach Wander from Play Store. Once in menu, go to TouchWiz, scroll down to IMS VoLTE Icon and toggle on then off. I did not apply the fix that you have the link for above, and I was able to uninstall the app and the icon does not come back.
Hey, I am trying to use your ROM but after I flash the zip file and finish set up with Aroma and reboot, I get stuck in the boot screen where the rainbow colored X symbol is spinning. I followed the guide exactly so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Maybe my default options in flash fire are not correct? All the boxes in that screen are unchecked. Should I mount /system read/write? I just hit the checkmark and flash. Also I did hit Install Root with Interactive Governor, if that makes a difference. Any help? Thanks.

Copying/Pasting PM I sent you for others, and added some things:
Did you let the "rainbow" sit there for at least 10 min? (It should be 3-5 but who knows.) Are you soft-bricked in your current situation? If you start again, at "Install Stock Oreo:" does this at least restore your phone back to stock Oreo? If so, then try again and proceed with ALL the remaining steps again, CAREFULLY reading the instructions again & again.
Also, what phone model do you have? And I admit I haven't tested the CPU governors in the root script ; I ALWAYS chose none - I'll remove those options in the next version since I have tested them and there are plenty of CPU overclocking options once booted inside the ROM.
If you are able to restart this process and get stock Oreo back, AND chose NO CPU governors in the root script, maybe you want to either try "NO" to Google & Tmobile options just to make sure you can get Android booted- If it boots fine, then try the ROM again and pick Google and/or Tmobile to isolate any issues (things that are breaking)
Have you used ONLY what I provided, such as ODIN (version is important), etc?
Re Flashfire: Default options should be fine. The ROM script will set all the partitions, mounts, permissions, etc.
Good luck!
*Above response I guess is for overall troubleshooting the ROM, if any issues present themselves.
On another note: I'm actively working on this ROM as time allows. Trying to ease the install process, correct some issues, further customize, & improve...

If you are able to restart this process and get stock Oreo back, AND chose NO CPU governors in the root script, maybe you want to either try "NO" to Google & Tmobile options just to make sure you can get Android booted- If it boots fine, then try the ROM again and pick Google and/or Tmobile to isolate any issues (things that are breaking)
Have you used ONLY what I provided, such as ODIN (version is important), etc?
Re Flashfire: Default options should be fine. The ROM script will set all the partitions, mounts, permissions, etc.
Good luck!
*Above response I guess is for overall troubleshooting the ROM, if any issues present themselves.
On another note: I'm actively working on this ROM as time allows. Trying to ease the install process, correct some issues, further customize, & improve...

So I did let it sit for a long time, maybe like 30 mins, but nothing happened. So I tried again from installing from stock and repeating each step. I'm using the odin files you supplied. Same thing. I was using install Google Apps and No T-mobile apps, and interactive governor for both situations. Stuck on boot animation screen. I did not try the options you suggested above since I eventually got it to work. So while stuck on the boot animation screen, I just ended up holding the Vol down, power and home until it rebooted and said entering recovery mode and let go before it went into download mode. From there I just wiped data, and cache, which may not be necessary, and then rebooted, and everything works. Thanks.

That's odd since the installer does exactly that. But I added this to the guide. Thanks for the feedback!
Thanks for the tutorial. Deeply appreciate the effort you put in foraging the resources and putting all the pieces together. The rom works great and all but I can't seem to get the lockscreen to display the wallpaper. It's just black lol. The adaptive clock works however. Would be grateful if you could drop a fix for this.

(Not sure why I didn't get an email from XDA for this post.) Mind walking me through the exact place this setting is? Here? PhoneSettings->Lock screen and security->Clock and Facewidgets->Clock Style->Select a style for "Lock screen" tab at top->Done? (Im able to get these to work)
BTW, Im glad you found this thread resourceful! & Im working on another one, which will be better & more original. Takes a TON of time!
Hey i have two questions, if i'm on oreo already do i need to flash base? And, does this need an unlocked bootloader?

Your stock oreo should work without issues but I always flash his stock firmware just in case(it's smoother too I think). And no, it doesnt require an unlocked bootloader.
Oh and happy modding

There are a couple ways an installer can work for custom rom mods like this: start with base then remove everything we don't want. OR: delete everything then add in what we want. This rom happens to work with the latter method. You can see why the base would be so important with the first method. (Because if we don't start with a given base then we can't predict the results because we don't know what u froze or deleted). Regardless, for expected & reliable results, I would always start with an Odin flash of stock for a rom like this. Roms like this are different than vanilla AOSPs because we strip what Samsung & tmobile brewed up, and we often then refer to it as a hybrid- as opposed to vanilla aosp which would be google only & only Samsung for drivers, etc. Hope that helps.
Btw I'm working on another rom with tmobile wifi calling working. I had to start from scratch, literally to get it working. Btw I'm curious if anyone else got it to work after the fact with a custom rom. If so, PLEASE chime in & let me know. Thanks!
