So i managed to install cwm (cyanogenmod wiki guide) and when I tried to flash slim ics base i got status 7 error... any suggetions? Or is there a updated version of cwm available? I only found the one from cyanogenmod wiki. Flashed it via heimdall method.

I did this on my friends captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] iregret:
Does anyone else have problem with pulse notification light not working?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Remember to follow instructions. That being said just use any kernel with cwm and follow instructions on site.

This is a small issue, but I was wondering if it had been adressed already. When I connect to my WiFi network, the WiFi symbol will appear in the statusbar, but it won't show that I'm connected. In fact, I AM connected, and can browse fine, but the icon remains greyed out. This definitely isn't major, but has anyone else encountered this?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Blue =/= connected. Blue on wifi and/or Mobile data means your connected to google.
[Captivate Android Development] nedthehead:
You're correct. However, that's not the issue I'm having. To clarify: my WiFi icon shows no signal, even though the symbol is there. It's only an issue with the symbol though. I'm connected to my router, and I'm connected to Google Services because my signal bars will turn blue
[Captivate Android Development] J0ESK0:
This seems to be a widespread issue across the big 3.. CM9, AOKP and Slim(Seen it happen to me on all of them). And it usually happens when you have Wi-Fi on and reboot/turn off your phone. When it starts back up.. the Wi-Fi signal shows an "blank" state even though still connected.

Quick fix is to turn Wi-Fi off and then back on. It will show signal correctly again.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I think this has been brought up before on one of the SLIM forums. It's not going to be added to the ROM AFAIK, but if you don't want to have to do it manually, just install AdAway and it will always keep your hosts file up to date if you wish.

[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
so any work on these dead idle / full charge sleep deaths?

I'm reading some people now are using i9000 boot loaders to try and fix it...

I have been so pleased with this rom that I have tried mys best to get around the ICS sleep / charge death issues... But Its becoming such a pain that I'm considering going back to GB again ... (yuck I know... )

Anyone heard anything new?

(3.4 rules BTW... It just gets better and better... )
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
This is a thing? Only time I get sleep death or charge death is with other kernels and either me messing with didle or voltages.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I've never had a single dead idle/full charge sleep death on ICS, and I have been on it for a long time.

This Slim rom has become my favorite. I've been on it for at least a month now and am probably in for the long haul. It's the Mosaic of ICS for me.
[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
Yeah I only have the issue with ICS roms... all of them. Many others with the same issue.

At full charge my phone will shut off (sleep death) until the battery drops to about 90%... then for the rest of the charge its great.

But I'f I "happen" to plug my phone in.. in the car or at the computer or something and it gets another full charge...

its a couple hours of sleep deaths I have to put up with again until i get to 90% battery again...

Only on anything ICS. I've full wiped, stock odin, bootloader changed, new battery, different chargers (stock charger as well)...

Go back to eclair, froyo, or gb and all is well... but I love this rom... and CM7 is just not the same...

do you all disable Didle or something? I've tried kernals as well... but I like the stock kernal on this rom and really dont have a need for the fancy options of other kernals...
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I only get sleep death when I use didle, so I don't use didle. I still have incredible battery life, and better performance than any GB rom by far.

I also read about using I9000 bootloaders, but it weirded me out seeing that on every boot, plus having new key combos for download mode and recovery. SLIM works amazingly well, so I decided to install as un-f-ed up a setup as I can.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Ditto that. I don't use didle , don't get sleep deaths and get a good day and half on battery. Only issue I have is the damn ghost menu Burton action that started with me aye updated semaphore and slim so I don't know which is the culprit or if it's a combo of both. I seem to be the only person experiencing the issue. Like someone is always pressing my menu soft key but there is no one there, lol

I was on Semaphore 1.0sc and Slim 3.3 and 3.4 (untill today) never had that issue. If I had to guess it might be a hardware problem.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Does anybody have any idea why my erodes phone won't show new gmail notifications but mine will? We are both on 3.4.
[Captivate Android Development] nedthehead:
To contribute to the conversation, I also can't enable DIDLE without SOD issues, so I leave it off. I've only been running the ROM for 2 days though, so your mileage may vary.

Question: does adding the wifi_idle_ms string to the secure table in the settings.db file have no effect for anyone else? It's supposed to adjust the time after which WiFi becomes inactive after the screen is shut off. I've added it, but it seems to have no effect.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You sure both phones have BLN enabled and set up with correct kernels and what not?
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Yes. I reverified that bln is enabled on her phone and the only rom and essentials on it is 3.4
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
I have SERIOUS battery issues...

Newest one... like wtf this is pissing me off. Its atrocious.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
You deserter, lol. What are you running now. The only reason I don't think it's hardware is it never happened till I updatee.g. Although I have dropped the phone on a hard rule floor but can't remember when it was recently and if it coincides with this issue

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well just me guessing. Phones break down over time. Only real way to test is try another rom/kernel and see if it happends or try just Slim no semaphore. And I'm testing something out for DerTeufel1980. ;)

If you just flash the rom give it a day to settle.

Try to wipe data on the gmail app and BLN (or NSTools if you are using it). If you are using both apps disable one (NSTools can cause issue with BLN app if not properly set) but if you are on stock that shouldn't be an issue. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
IF I had to take a guess from personal experience wifi uses less juice if connected. 3g is nothing but a battery hog, at least for me.

Don't know when it will be released. Still doing something funky with softkeys, but its Devil kernel in i9000 thread. Probably the same kernel ICSSGS team is having issues with (and why RC5 hasn't released)

3G is definitely worse. When I'm on Wifi, my phone drains 1% per hour, on 3G, it drains like 5 per hour.

Still nothing on her phone. Ahh well, maybe I will figure it out.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Settings->display->pulse notification ticked? if yes auto sync on in account and sync? one of them should be it. if not may be her device backlight is busted :P
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
What was your issue ? Getting BLN to work ?

I would recommend to delete BLN app if it's on the phone, reboot into recovery, wipe dalvik only, reflash base twice then flash essentials twice (just to be sure)

The go to settings/display and make sure pulse light notification box has a check mark.

Then install NSTools, open it and on the first page that pops up you'll see backlight notification and under it "Status" default will show off, touch the word off to switch it on.

If this doesn't work I honestly don't know what else to try. Let us know though if this fixed it
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
BLN and status bar notifications for new emails wasnt working on my wife's phone but works fine on mine. Both phones are running Slim 3.4 and Essentials 3.4 with whatever kernel comes with it.

According to my wife BLN is now sometimes working. I used BLN Control to activate it which worked fine on my phone.

Edit: The problem ended up being that Wifi was set to turn off when the screen turns off under power Saving so the phone was never seeing anything come in to show BLN.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I second that. Once I quit using 3G (I no longer have a data plan) my battery life literally doubled!

In my experience wifi doesn't use too much juice so long as it's connected, but it seems to draw a bit more if you're away from home and constantly have it on so it's constantly scanning for available networks.

If you enabled it by changing out the framework-res.apk with the DIDLE enabled one, then you should be able to disable it by restoring the original framework-res.apk, or else re-install essentials. I'm not sure if you can just extract it from essentials and replace it that way.

nothing in nstools about it?

the deaths persist through new flashes and upgrades... is it possible i have it "permanently" stuck on somehow?

Install NST, under CPU tab deep idle status will either say on or off. If it says on it's on, off it's off. If you've never knowingly turned it on with a program/app that allows modification of that feature of a kernel then it is off

Something isn't right. I did replace the screen on my phone cause it cracked but its a new OEM part. I don't understand.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Well, IF you had your screen on for an hour and a half (something we don't know because you didn't say) that would be quite a reasonable battery drain. You can also adjust screen brightness to reduce battery drain while the screen is on. Most knowledgable people on here like to keep auto-brightness off and just manually keep the screen as dim as they can bear, but I prefer auto-brightness and I still get decent battery life - like a day and a half or so with the screen on for 4 to 6 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] rxnelson:
Yea I remember it being there on 3.2? maybe. I don't see it under stock 3.4 now though? Maybe it was only there when I was using glitch.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
It's hasn't been on stock SLIM since 2.8 AFAIK. Even if you did on glitch, it doesn't matter. The mod requires a framework modification and a compatible kernel. A fresh install of Slim has neither. Best I can say flash back to GB and redo everything.
[Captivate Android Development] rxnelson:
Good info thanks. I think I had a few sleep deaths on a previous version was the only reason I was looking at it. Well at least screen wouldn't turn on. I could hear it taking a screenshot but no screen.

[Captivate Android Development] thunor:
Just an open question to all you Slim users. What bootloaders work best for you I897, I9000 and which in particular. Is there an advantage of some over others (as it relates to running Slim in particular)?

Just for the record I think I'm on I9000 JVT if I'm not mistaken. Been a while since I flashed it so, I'm a bit iffy on it. It's not everyday (or week or month for that matter, that one needs to flash bootloaders). :P

If it boots up and says i9000 then i9k bl if it says ATT i897. I myself used i897

Yes, i know about the boot screen, I meant I wasn't sure if I was running JVT specifically :p Been having stability issues with all ICS roms (though Slim by far has been the fastest and most robust). It just dawned on me recently that it might be bootloader related. I remembered when I first installed my first ICS ROM (CNA I believe), it said to use I897 bootloaders, if I'm not mistaken. Which particularly are u using? I have a One click Heimdall with KB2 incl bootloaders. But seeing as that is an old Froyo build I figured something newer should be better.

Now here is an interesting screen shot that makes me think battery stats are a bunch of Bologna. Notice it says a little under 2 hours on battery and the time is 11 am. My phone has been on since 6 am this morning. Now I'm not great with math but I'm pretty sure that equates to 5 hours and not two.
[Captivate Android Development] dallasweb:
Interesting find...mines been on for 3 hours, says "1h 29m 41s on battery"
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
If you guys are over locking and the settings aren't stable which causes a reboot, it is very possible that the time is right. It usually resets on reboot, at least from my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
No it doesn't. Reboot will create a "space" on the graph not reset. Only time that reset is full charge. Though wouldn't be the first time my phone "resets" other things when using a highly unstable Live OC. But user will probably notice reset nstool or background image.
[Captivate Android Development] dallasweb:
Not over clocked...not that I'm aware of at least. I flashed this ROM for the first time last night, turned it off and left charging over night. Turned it on this morning, then later when I saw scott's post, I checked my battstats. Anyway, not going to kill me or anything, but is interesting.

It should work after that.

Ahh, There they are. The apks in Slim 3.3 have 4.1 as the version numbers while OTA shows 3.3 as the version numbers. Are they the same? I moved the apks into base.zip from Slim 3.3 and flashed so I'm up an running just curious

You could have just used the app to download. It would have stuck it in the correct location, no flashing required.

I like this rom, its small and no bloat.

I came back to my captivate from my skyrocket for TV out, MLH still needs work.

What is the default kernel on this rom ?

I find it generally funny that almost every rROM has a default kernel, and then the one majority actually run.
