[Captivate Android Development] nygfan760:
Awesome! Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] ken-droid:
Awesome!!! I was waiting for the updated version. I'll try this immediately! Good job, and I like how you set up the base + essentials downloads :)

[Captivate Android Development] eddalysse:
everything looks so small ..... is there a way to change this?
[Captivate Android Development] sepherian:
Go into build.prop under /system and edit it so that LCD_density=240
[Captivate Android Development] eddalysse:
Found it:

settings/ASS/GeneralUI/LCD Density.

gives the option to change it to 240 and reboot. Everything looks "normal" now
[Captivate Android Development] ppmz:
Is there a minimum CWM recovery version you must have to flash this ROM?

Also, has anyone got Touchwiz launcher working with slim ics?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
i think 5.5.0.4
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
It doesn't require the version as it will be replaced when you select to flash the ROM!:D have fun on this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
if normal is big fat fonts :p, i am a 182DPI guy, looks better IMO. But thats the beauty of customization, you change it to whatever you want.
[Captivate Android Development] asasione:
I kept getting status 7 and errors installing this ROM. Work-around is installing THS build 16 first then your good to go

This is an awesome ROM only thing I needed was to install Gallery and Google Music. thanx
[Captivate Android Development] ganaa1221:
So can I directly use this ROM (I9000) for captivate or should i port myself?
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
This is already a port...
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
Go to the link in OP and then scroll down till you see the slim ics base and the captivate essentials, flash base 1st followed by the essentials pack for captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] ganaa1221:
thank u very much for clarifying and quick reply.

installed as u suggested. everythings running smooth.tnx in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] Slayer_b:
Is any way to get Russian language? Maybe it makes sense to make an additional separate language pack of all excluded languages?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
What do you mean ? All my work is from ground up mate
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
If you flash different ROMs often, I suggest using MyPhone Explorer to back up contacts and text messages. If you use MPE, I suggest you closely monitor the text messages you back up, lest you end up with 4 month old messages restored on you freshly flashed phone :O
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yeah camera effects worked on Teamhacksung Build 16, that was my semi-permanent ROM before Slim. Always have it on my sdcard and I couldn't initially flash this ROM until flash THS and then Slim 2.7 + essentials
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
OK will look into it.
[Captivate Android Development] ganaa1221:
hey guys check this out!

is it gonna work on our device? has anyone tried? if so pls share with us.
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
I haven't used it but i think voodoo gives the best sound output for our phones. My friend in school has a sensation xe and frankly after hearing the sound in his phone it felt like only the bass boost effect has been increased, infact my cappy with klipsch S4 sounds better, even my friend agreed!

If you haven't you should try voodoo 1st.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
well firstly....WOW! Great rom . Yes simple but still very customizable...and fast! With fasyest boot up ive seen too. And I love the default 182dpi Res! No changing here...too small? Ha..y right..its like better resolution and more space. I tried 160 and would have stayed had it not had Res issues on home screens and certain apps.

Not really finding much wrong on this yet outside of the few minor known issues already. The lock screen custom apps toggles I assume will get fixed later and is no biggie. I had no wifi issues but did temporarily have market issues...not due to Res but getting paid apps..fixed easy though.

Noticed that live wallpapers can have serious issues sometimes and create major stretching artifacts when scrolling but can usually toggle settings on most to fix. And just this morning my soft keys have gone wild on me as if they are in turbo press mode when tapping or long holding them but had been fine up to now. Not sure if it was something I did... but all in all so far so good! If anyone knows about any of the above please post.

I actually love the stock launcher that comes with it! Its settings are good as are the slim settings and customizers.

One question though and it seems trivial as this is normally so easy to do but how come I can't set my own pics to wallpaper? I can set wallpaper by long press on home screen and choosing defaults....or using an app to set custom pics but when I browse my own pics with an file explorer I don't find any option anywhere to "set as wallpaper". Feel stupid cuz it must be me but where do I do this or where is the system or data folder I can copy my images to and then set as wallpaper via the normal way via home screen? Thanks for any quick info on that.

Outside of that is there video out option on this rom anywhere? And what kernels are people using out there? To oc and UV too. Platypus working good and gonna try glitch soon but not sure if compatible though but it rocks for performance. Heard lot about devel but can't find proper file for a cappy dl. Does anyone know link for devil kernel for cappy's?
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
For wallpaper, you can navigate to the pic you want. once you are veiwing it hit the menu button (bottom left soft key) and the option to set as will be there. Once selcted you can crop the the image and hit save. you will then have your own pic as wallpaper. This can be done either from Gallery or File manager.

Geeve
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
That's exactly what I thought but just went back again and nope...no go! Left soft key menu button does nothing from with file manager or after selecting and viewing in gallery. Why isn't this working!? I knew it wasn't me cuz I did just what u said...as I normally would do to select it... any thoughts?

Btw gallery doesnt exist in this rom. But went into file manager and it uses image viewer but no options...if u long press image file u get options but none to set as. Used root explorer too and just tried super manager...get a ton of option but none to set as wallpaper for any image file! Very frustrating...what is wrong here?
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Just saw the file for dl on the first post that says 2.5_TV_out...is this OK to flash to get TV out even on slim 2.7?

And secondly, where can I dl the stock kernel for this from after switching it and may want to go back without reflashing whole rom? Can't find this exact semaphore kernel for a cappy. Can u post link?

And if anyone can figure out my set as wallpaper issue (from above post) please let me know.

Thanks Krarvind. Great job! Keep it up. You've done a great job and nothing's perfect even though many here would like it to be lol! This rom is gooood and only minor stuff left and if nothing else was tweaked or fixed again it would be just fine...
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
Sorry, Gallery is part of the removed apps 2.6 bundle. it can be flashed on 2.7. this might be part of the problem you are having. I am not 100% sure it will fix your wallpaper problem, but I know for sure Gallery is included in that bundle.

Geeve
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
install gallery2 or quick pic.

thne in home screen, soft menu, wallpaper, select the program you installed, set your wallpaper.

cheers
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Its possible but might not...may give it a try anyways. The removed apps 2.6 bundle is at the bogging of this post I assume? I actually just install "Wallpaper Set and Save" and that solved my problem with a work a round app but would still like to solve root issue. Anyone know where wallpaper folder is in this os? Hard to find...online it states its in the launcher.APk itself in /Res/drawable but that's not in this rom. I'll see what I can do. At least have a work a round for now and will try gallery too.

Thanks for the help
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
same post you saw the tv out fix, here post #2, it's called 2.6 addon.

Geeve
[Captivate Android Development] amadhu:
This ROM is very stable but for minor glitches. I had force closes on default launcher and voice dialer. Otherwise it is slim and fast! Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Kernels not updating properly in rom...? - uname:not found

i found a great page with a ton of 4.0.3 ics kernels and their ratings and feature and wanted to give a few of them a try.. currently i tried the stock, platypus and glitch for brief time. but now when i flash ANY new kernel it doesn't seem to take... the update goes fine in recovery console (and i wipe cache and tried dalvik too) but after it gets back into Slim ICS os it's stuck on old kernel...and when i load a program like Voltage control or any cpu oc/uv app that shows your kernel info it states:

sh:<stdin>[xx]:uname:not found

(xx) being a two digit number that changes after flash

what does this mean and what can i do? am i missing something here..i believe i've read about this somewhere but can't find it.. am i missing a step..i dont have to rewipe and flash the whole rom again do i? i've flashed many kernels before with basically no hitches...until now..

what do you think
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Let me get this straight, from stock Slim 2.7, you flashed platypus, glitch etc once and it worked fine, but you went back to stock slim 2.7, then no kernel will flash? if you get the kernel's boot screen, then it did flash and you have some leftovers. flash that kernel cleaner script before flashing kernels. glitch has it inbuilt i think.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
thanks for the info. didn't think about that but it sound quite plausible that traces are being left over and a proper clean before new kernel would make sense.. i search here on XDA for this flash but there a quite a few...which one should i be using? they seem like they are both phone and rom specific but then some might be generic...

can anyone recommend and give link to the best and most likely compatible for a Cappy on this Slim rom? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
Is there a package to install Asian fonts? Half my songs are blank in the music player because the font isn't supported
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Is it possible to just install the gallery app? That add one zip installs all the? Removed apps and I don't want the rest. If I self extract and find the apk it doesn't work to install on its own. Any ideas or should I just find my own single installable gallery.apk file off the net?

---------- Post added at 04:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 PM ----------

Would love to get the kernel dl file for the stock of this rom. Firstly don't know exactly which version it is and can't find a dl page for likely files for it.

If u know pls post. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Wallpaper issue resolved! Ur right it was lack of gallery. I dl the gallery.apk and gallery3d.apk and have both running beautifully on this rom ..would have been nice to remain pre installed but I understand the "slim" idea and cutting the fat so its all good.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I had a weird occurrence with the phone.apk. I downloaded the updated apk and installed it but didn't clear the data. I could make calls but when someone called me, it appears that I could answer but I wouldn't actually connect with the caller. I would get dead air while the caller would get ringing like I didn't answer.

This isn't a complaint or a bug report. Just a cautionary tale about not following the dev's instructions fully. :o
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Ok Fellas. Here it is ( no not 3.9) but my blog on what will come in 3.9 :).

Read ( more than once if you need to)

http://www.slimroms.com/apps/blog/

No, 3.9 is not ready to be released YET.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Could be 3.8 Rom related or something else entirely. Have no clue but am looking for a solution to something that is not a big deal but irks me.

My phone when plugged in to the wall to charge tells me on the lock screen fully "charged" but all of a sudden now (started today) shows 99% instead of 100%. Tried wiping battery stats and still the same. Anyone have any ideas I could try to get my 100% back when fully charged ?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You understand while it's "fully charged" its cycling from 100% to ~95% to not overcharged.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Of course not, lol. That's why I depend on smart people like you:D
[Captivate Android Development] cucumbersmell:
Looking forward to 3.9 and will get another donation sent your way.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I've had the bug where even if I turn on the phone, on first boot and first time at lock screen, it'll say 100% even if the battery is at like 10%. Then when I go to lock screen again the next time, it shows the proper battery percentage. Not a deal breaker or anything but if kravind is striving for perfection, here's your bug report.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
3.9 Released. I will say this, read the changelog and FAQ, before posting questions. If you find ppl posting without reading, just direct them to them the changelog page, don't give them the answer, its a few lines not that hard.

You need to d/l and flash Base, Device essentials and Slim Gapps. From next time on you just need to d/l base and device essentials as long as you don't lose Slim Gapps or i don't change it. Happy Friday Everyone!

NOTE: Read the changelog below carefully and the FAQ before posting questions .

All Devices:

Apollo ( CM9) music compiled from sources - thanks cm team

Updated germant translations for DeskClock - thanks Basian Mile

Reduce processing in WebCore thread while scrolling and zooming based on this

External Webkit changes based on this, this and this.

Hide storage option in camera for devices that don't have external storage based on this

Don't try to create an ad-hoc network when no wireless network is available based on this

SlimPapers.apk with a couple of wallpapers, nothing fancy. Will put it in OTA app for those who want to use it. - thanks jeffyca at rootz for slimlogo wallpaper

CM9 Quiet Hours

New boot animation - thanks jeffyca at rootz

Basic gapps included in base is pulled and made a separate flashable zip, reason is two fold,

make google happy as they prefer this route and

they don't change often, so why bloat the base unnecessarily.

Whatever was in UpdateMe ( GenieWidget etc etc), Apps, Stays there,

Make sure to flash slim_gapps along with base and essentials to get working multi dpi playstore, gmail, talk, video chat, email and exchange. If you flash another gapps, you are on your own, don't complain apps are not compatible if you are not on slim gapps. This is the way moving forward, you can cry about if you want

Base is now 44 MB

Galaxy Nexus ( Maguro, Toro & Toroplus)

Synced upto lean 3.8

Galaxy S2

Synced upto latest Fluxi's changes.

Upgrade Method: Back to the usual

Download Link:

[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
Uhm.... www.slimroms.com cannot be found? Tried on multiple providers.

This link seems to be working though for downloads:

http://code.google.com/p/slimics39/downloads/list
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Yep, same.
[Captivate Android Development] raz123:
Downloaded 3.9 base from within the update application.

Wiped. Installed. Bootloop.
[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
You installed your device essentials and the new slimmed gapps too right?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
pls don't spoon feed. clearly stated what all neeeded to be d/l and flashed. This ROM is only for those who can read changelogs, faq and installation instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] raz123:
Thanks for the reminder..

Had forgotten those!

Went back into recovery, mounted the phone, transferred the essentials and gapps, installed.

Works :)
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
Why are there certain installation instructions that are included randomly throughout the various changelogs and not listed in the installation instructions? Shouldn't those also be listed in the installation instructions?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Installation instructions are only on the website but changelog states whether to full wipe or not for that version. thats all. thats why i said read all 3.
[Captivate Android Development] eNemy-:
Should i delete the gapps that i don't want from the zip, or should i flash it then delete with TiBu?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
whatever suits you best
[Captivate Android Development] kiattiyos:
Install based, essential and slimgapps over v3.8, everything works fine. Thanks for the best rom for my old cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Hey krarvind! You've made the perfect rom perfecter! Lmao! Quiet hours was all that was missing for me. Thanks so much for this lightning fast stable rom. Amazing work.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
It's browser dependant for me. I can't find it with Opera Mini but can with xScope and desktop. That's okay since I download everything to PC first anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] spacecase-25:
Add ons now stay between updates, is that what that is saying? If so, will my 3.8 add ones stay or does that start with what I install in 3.9?
[Captivate Android Development] captivate-sg:
Nice job. Fantastic performance. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Krarvind's base install script wipes /system. So any apps that are supposed to be there will wipe (stock launcher, among other apps and mods)
[Captivate Android Development] sailzfast:
Can this be fixed and included as a wallpaper for our Cappies in the next release?

Hey krarvind,

We need a special treat when Slim ICS hits 4.0 :P
[Captivate Android Development] rophiroth:
updating to 3.9 version... first though.. WTF with boot anim? XD... old one was better... huhuehue
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
lol, yeah I too noticed that ;). Anyway you can disable it from ASS Menu.
[Captivate Android Development] :
If you have the older versions of base (3.7) just switch the bootanimation.zip in /system/media and you got it back. I like its simplicity and best of all its lower memory size, it is Slim ICS after all
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
new one is lighter but its just a boot animation fellas, an user made it and I like to involve users if I can. Older one is available via my Ota app, apps
[Captivate Android Development] bobo122:
edit: nvm, solved
[Captivate Android Development] mcyorian:

Then use a different launcher, uninstall maps with Tibu, reinstall from Market. Works fine here

Busybox dies not appear to be linked.

Clean install, so i know it's not something i did wrong.

Is there some command i can run to properly link busybox so i don't have to precede every command with "busybox"?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
negative. Properly symlinked. See attached
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I'll bite my tongue.

You can see that on my phone with a clean install, it's not properly linked, right? Or am I missing something? Is your screenshot from a Cappy?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
I don't own a cappy. Only gnex and sgs. Both were fine
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
check your xbin folder to see what's linked etc
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
bite your tongue for what, you said it wasn't symlinked, I checked, in my phones they were, so I said negative.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I don't have any links in xbin.

I wonder if other Cappy owners have this problem or if something i installed screwed up the simlinks. I can't imagine what - I'm not installing anything crazy here.

Is there any harm in running the KagadarLinkFixer? I'd hate to lose my pristine setup so soon after a clean install...
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Ok, it was in the script, i missed symlinking in cappy. thats what happens when you have 9 devices to support. re-download essentials, flash ( no wipe) essentials, reboot. you should be all set
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
Cleaned cache, dalvik cache, flashed all three Zip...extremely happy...butter smooth will test for a couple of days then switch to semaphore and compare

Screw semaphore, devil is the ticket now! Lol, jk.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Thanks very much! It's perfection now.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
I'm a gonna stick to stock for a little while now because it's such buttery smooth perfection, but, curious, the only reasons i would consider switching kernels would be for openVPN and USB OTG. Semaphore supports both of those, stock AFAIK does not. Does Devil?
[Captivate Android Development] msoileau:
I have openvpn working just fine with stock kernel. I didn't have to do anything special after updating the 3.9 essentials with the latest version that has all of the busybox tools properly symlinked

First off I absolutely hate lightning launcher. So I put base ics launcher under data apps so it would quit being removed upon update. But it fc everytime I try to place a widget. Any help?

3.9 banging with Semaphore and Buttercream. Best ROM ever! Thanks DEVS! :D
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
First thing I did after updating to 3.9 was to delete Lightning and replace it with Zeam. Don't forget to set the permissions once you put your launcher into /system/apps.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Ha! Thanks! And here i didn't even realize that it was supported on stock!
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
Wow...semaphore + slim 3.9, SGS 3 Touchwiz + S Voice working perfectly...my cappy is better that ever...

You find both in themes and apps section
