Slim ics was picked as lifehacker's Top 5 roms. Time to vote for best

How do we view for number one. I didn't see a link at the end of the article

Clearly SLIM is the best on that list for my cappy as I've tried all listed
[Captivate Android Development] rophiroth:
At the moment must say the same, but has to admit AOKP are doing a great job too.

PS: Has someone test slim ICS with the lastest devil kerner? I was trying the last version of AOKP with a rom in this same forum who came with devil kernel and it's working very well on my old and bugged cappy. I wonder how last devil kernel is working with slim :3
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
It works gloriously!
[Captivate Android Development] nicholishen:
This is an awesome ROM! I have experienced a pretty major bug though. Occasionally, when on a phone conversation and surfing through phone apps, the phone conversation will disappear from the status bar. The caller will still be on the line but I have no option to hang up and have to reboot the phone. I wiped and reinstalled everything again and still experienced bug.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Do you know how to get Nova in there? I've searched and searched and can't locate a Nova.apk file. Just the whole com.teslacoil.novalauncher folder, etc. Or do I just move that whole folder ?

Not sure what's going on with 3.9 and my phone but I flashed it last night and since unplugging this morning have gone from 100% to 30 in just 4 hours. Everything is still that same as yesterday on 3.8 when I got 22 hrs. before having to plug in
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Not sure about your battery life, all I can say is give it a few cycles to settle. But here is a zip of a old Nova beta that flashes strait in /system/app

I flashed semaphore last night and I just discovered that wifi tethering is not working .. any suggestions?

Nevermind, Nova is already in my system/app. That's why I could find it elsewhere

Upgrade to 3.9

Hi Gurus,

Quick question. I want to go directly to 3.9 from 3.6 of Slim.

Do I need to wipe and reset to Factory defaults?

I would not mind that if it is cleanest approach.

Thanks.

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Read the site. If you would have done so you would have seen that from 3.7-3.8 krarvind recommend full wipe because of massive framework change. That being said ppl where able to flash without full wipe but if choose to not wipe and run in to issues Do Not post any of your issues untill you tried on full wipe stock settings.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Works for me. Has on every version of Sem and every version of Slim
[Captivate Android Development] dallasweb:
I'm running the 'stock' kernel...but make sure you turn wifi off before using tether...

I forgot and kept rebooting everytime I turned on tethering.
[Captivate Android Development] yobbei:
Did u turn on netfilter using the semaphore app?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If you don't know how to use semaphore o the kernel is misbehaving it doesn't belong in Slim rom thread
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Yes. Sometimes you have you hit it twice. Also, remember that every time you update or reflash kernel it changes the wep security key. If you updated slim then reflashed semaphore you're not going to be able to tether say your laptop automatically like you had been before updating until you change to the new key
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Agree with above. Direct any further questions on this topic to the sem thread.
[Captivate Android Development] mikeymopar:
i give up...apollo and reinstalling previous music.apks from slim ics don't have lockscreen music control setting that i can find anywhere in ASS or the music app. i may be getting old but my eyesight isn't that bad yet. what am i missing?

(also, ll launcher would be pretty nice except for the random resizing of icons/widgets. overall, still the best ics for cappys)

Anyone successfully installed the new leaked Samsung S-Voice with SLIM ROM ?

Lol after using first leak and noticing S voice is a skinned vlingo not gave up on "fixing" it when it got patched
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I did, wasn't impressed, I find "speaktoit"a better app
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
if you install the above, i will ban you from using slim for installing an app thats bigger in size than my whole ROM :p:D

Edit: oops, i meant to quote ScottcWhite
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Lmao!
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
The usual disclaimers about having searched already...

I can't get Slim to work as a phone. I'm in Uruguay, sure, but all the half dozen other ROMs seem to work. No data, and phone calls don't go through. Hey, the good news is that my battery lasts a long, long time now, I'm sure.

Reflashed again without the SD card and SIM. And yes, I replaced them before testing.

Will try again if someone has any idea why it didn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you come from another ICS rom or CM9 as stated by the instructions?
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
Not trying to offend just tossing some things out. I'm assuming the phone.apk isn't force closing like the one release had an issue with that was quickly fixed. I also am assuming you checked the APN settings and the info in there look correct?
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
LMAO! I promise I won't now that I've been publicly scolded, lol. Just wondering if it actually even worked. I don't need anything that big in size. I have a whopping total of 32 market apps installed on my phone, none games. I try to stay as SLIM as possible when it comes to my phone.

My waistline is another story.

krarvind how can I become a beta tester for slim ics for the captivate? I use to beta test exitz kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I came from Doc's ICS. I thought I followed the instructions on the website. Pretty simple - clear data/cache/dalvik, format system, flash base/essentials/gapps. Twice. The phone showed it had "signal", but never had data and the phone couldn't call my home phone, and my home phone couldn't call it. The second I switched back to Doc's, the phone reported the missed call.

It didn't mention a force close, the dialer opened up fine. The actual sequence was dial home...no sound from the receiver...and then the phone would go to lockscreen after a few seconds. And upon unlock, I was back to the home screen.

I checked the apn settings, and even re-input the correct password. But, as above, it wasn't only data that was missing.

Thanks for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] ngochuy:
U need a modem, i think lol. My phone is very stable now. Slim is the most stable ics room right now. Do try a combo, slim + kernel semaphore + modem kg3 like mine.

Hi krarvind,

Just checked the upcoming features on Slim 4.0 and thanks for the clock customizations. Slim is truly the best ICS Rom for the cappy. Thanks for sharing all your hard work.

I have had intermittent Issues with the phone now also. It's definitely not the modem from my end, anyway. Mostly the conversation seems to be disappearing from the status bar and when that happens I have no way to access the call. I too have wiped and re-flashed twice still the same problem persists.

Has anyone found a solution to the random reboot problem?

I don't mind the random resets that much, and using SlimICS is worth it for sure. I notice mine reboots randomly because when the phone reboots wi-fi gets turned on an this wastes battery quickly. My work around for the moment is to turn off wi-fi after screen is off in battery saver settings. Does anyone know a solution?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] bobo122:
When signal is low / there is no signal , "cell standby" starts consuming too much and the battery drains fast , is that normal? Is there any solution for this?

Same here. I only have a few apps on my phone and any that I dont use get removed.

Quick question about lighting launcher. I prefer Zeam and have downloaded and currently using Zeam. Can I just remove lighting from system apps or will it cause horrible things to go wrong in the ROM? Thanks for the hard work on this amazing ROM man.

Is there any way to download older versions of SLIM?

Co-worker has 3.5 on his SII and he tried 3.6 but the camera stopped working so he went back to 3.5. He wants to go to 3.9 but needs the 3.5 files again in case he needs to downgrade again.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Make a nandroid and do a clean upgrade to 3.9.
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
Check the site it is in first post... click "changelong/download link" then all the way at the bottom. here is a link :

http://slimics.haxer.org/Slim_ICS/404/3.5/
[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
Dang, I checked that list and the last few versions (3.8, 3.7) were on code.google but couldn't get http://code.google.com/p/slimics35/ to work so figured it was gone.

Didn't realize the 3.5 link was to a different site.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
I thought of that. I flashed kg3, since I know that one works. Still the same - no phone useability. Odd that Slim works for so many, and just doesn't for me. thanks for the suggestions.
[Captivate Android Development] nicholishen:
Please forgive me if this does not belong here...

I just started using my cappy for work, and I was wondering if this is pretty typical battery drain for heavy usage. I'm running slim ICS version 3.6
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
Something is not right...usually get 14 hours plus...I normally flash (odin) back to stock...Odin semaphore kernel and then flash Slim...it all works great
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Not sure how but i went from 3.6 to 3.9 and now my market app is gone. Anyone know why?
[Captivate Android Development] mbc663:
Flash gapps
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Oh, haven't updated in a while so i guess now you have to flash three things. Alright, thanks for that.
[Captivate Android Development] nicholishen:
This is also very heavy use... Two hours of talk time and 4 1/2 hours of Wi-Fi tether. Screen on about 70% of the time. I just wanted to clarify because if this is somewhat normal then I don't want to go through all those extra steps...
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
That's obviously normal....

If you want better battery life though, consider getting a Anker Battery. Used it twice and so far, it seems to last twice as long as my original battery. My original battery probably depreciated to like 1000mah now...
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Not one can really help you. Best I can say is give it a few days see if it gets better.
[Captivate Android Development] pboy:
Sometimes the /efs directory gets corrupted during flashing ie. imei number gone, and that won't allow u to connect. Try restoring that directory from ur backups and see if that helps. Good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
On 3.9 with Semaphore. I'm having terrible lag. If I wanted to flash the original 3.9 base/essentials kernel, how would I do that? Is there a flashable zip of just the kernel? Or can I just wipe cache/wipe dalvik cache and flash essentials only without wiping system? Or do I need to flash base first before essentials?
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
Just to prevent any issues, it's probably best to follow the standard upgrade procedure from 3.8 to 3.9

Wipe cache, dalvik cache, flash base, essentials, gapps, reboot
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
All the above questions are answered already in the website. You need only to read

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
The essentials zip contains the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
Thank goodness that didn't happen. I flashed another ROM and functionality came back immediately. Unfortunate that my cappy won't play with Slim. Seems like it's one of the more popular ICS roms.
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
Always backup your EFS folder for any type of ROM flash, use SGS unlock tool from Market/Play.
[Captivate Android Development] sailzfast:
See if your network settings are OK. Sometimes after flashing an upgrade I have to go in and re-register on the ATT network
[Captivate Android Development] gado45:
Can other kernel than the default be used with slim? if so wich one is recommended for slim?

Enviado desde mi SGH-I897 usando Tapatalk 2
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Any ICS kernel will work. I recommend semaphore or devil.
[Captivate Android Development] mirrored:
After going back to the stock kernel from semaphore 1.2.1sc, the phone is running much more smoothly. Semaphore 1.2sc always ran great for me so I don't know why I ran into issues with 1.2.1sc
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
I second that. Devil is the clear winner for me but read that thread before use to reap all of the benefits

[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
I'm having low storage issue. Does it include the fix already or it's just my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Just a tiny issue I've always had with the update me app. I click on ROM and download the new version, then I get the "passed md5" message, click ok then press "back arrow" soft key to get to main menu to download Essentials but it just hangs on "waiting". I have to long press back to "kill" the app and then reopen it, go to essentials, etc., etc.

Agreed, the boot animation is perfectly minimal for this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:

[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Do you have phone set to NOT "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep"? Check under:

System settings > Wi-Fi > [settings button] > Advanced

As for the Pico-TTS, I just checked http://slimics.haxer.org/Slim_ICS/Addons_Mods/Addon_Apps/ and it's not there, so I would say that's just a broken link. Other than that I haven't had any trouble with the Update Me myself.

Wifi on/off toggle error?

anybody able to get this error? It seems to be reproduceable for me. if i pull down the dropbar and slide the wifi toggle on and then hold it down (to got to wifi settings to choose network) it will get stuck in an unstoppable loop of turning the wifi on and off repeatedly. the only fix i can find is a re boot.

I'm currently installing slim 4.0 right now. i'm expecting i will love it a lot! thanks so much for all your hard work!

oh this happens regardless of if i am using semaphore or the stock kernel.

love the lightning launcher and absolutely love the 4.0 boot animation.

I just switched from the CM9 nightlys to Slim4.0. Overall I like slim, but there is one feature that I can not find/figure out how to enable.

On CM9 (as well as Samsung based roms) I can dial 4734 (GREG) and the dialer would show a list of all of the contacts who's first name is Greg and all of the phone numbers with 4734 in them.

Is there a way to enable this in this rom? If not would it be possible for me to replace the dialer app with the one from CM9?

I'm loving 4.0!
