I agree this rom is phenomenal. It's brought so much life into the vibrant. I just bought the gs3 and using that with touchwiz all over feels very claustrophobic and is making me have convulsions, I was so used to slim for the past month.

One final note though is that my FFC stopped working after V4.0. It worked flawlessly before, is this just me? Also does anybody have a way of fixing it, I tried pasting the V4.0 camera.apk and still no FFC. If I just flash back to V4.0 I get the FFC. It's not a big deal, it would be just something nice to have for skype chats. Maybe this is due to the new CM9 camera commits???
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
Slim exists for gs3 :-). Camera was a temp issue resolved via fix in 4.1 and works naively in 4.2
[Vibrant Android Development] RoxAbout:
Upgraded to v4.2 nice! Also took the plunge and installed subzero [latest]

couple issues...

google docs keeps closeing [I dont use it so I froze it in TI] fixed..sort of

amazon mp3 did it also a couple times...

FFC is not working now..?? Above quote says exactly what..??

also not sure why but the hold home function is also now working...as is the long press back to kill...was jacked up on v4/v4.1....

Awesome stuff will test out gps today....

Thanks for the great rom!

:good:
[Vibrant Android Development] jonen:
cannot comment on gdocs or amazon mp3 but the touch buttons work fine for me on 4.0

ive been using long press back to kill ever since i can remember and it still works flawlessly for me on 4.0!

Slim 4.2 - S Voice

Slim 4.2 sails smooth, though I have an issue with voice accuracy with this version, I am not sure if anyone else experienced, it I had an awesome accuracy in 4.1, it was brilliant. Once I upgraded, its really bad, Any ideas on what the issue could be and how to resolve it. I user S voice modded v1.3 on XDA.
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
Minor, but thread title is still 4.0.4, not 4.2...
[Vibrant Android Development] HeavyA:
Slim version is 4.2, android version is 4.0.4
[Vibrant Android Development] blazinn831:
Yeah the FFC did not work for me either. So i flashed this file and it fixed it for me. Got it from rootzwiki. Just wipe cache and dalvik and u should be good.
[Vibrant Android Development] vostok4:
I had huge battery issues with 4.2 (clean flashed), went back to 4.1 (dirty flashed) and battery is perfect again.

Going to stick with 4.1 on the GF's phone, seems to work and she's happy.
[Vibrant Android Development] Demetris:
Just flash other kernel :)
[Vibrant Android Development] bdjnk:
I've just updated to ICS and I'm very impressed by Slim. It took me a while to get it set up properly. I had boot-loop trouble when installing, and when I did get it installed I had an unknown baseband issue. Eventually I went to ICS Passion following a YouTube tutorial (which there seem to be an awful lot of). Anyway, once that was fully working I went back and installed Slim, and everything is now working perfectly!

I'm getting great battery life and speed with no crashes of any kind on Slim 4.2. Life is good. Thanks krarvind!

What do the two v4.2 Fixes listed in updateme address?
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
Galaxy s Settings ( if it fc's, i fixed it and re uploaded t959 zip file but if you d/l earlier and it fc's d/l the fixes)
[Vibrant Android Development] siberian85:
Why I am still getting android system using my battery considering that I am on latest version of this from :confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] shrapnelx:
No bluetooth audio

Is anyone having trouble with bluetooth audio in 4.2? I can pair devices fine, but I get no phone or media audio. The phone thinks it's sending the audio over bluetooth as no audio is coming from the phone itself, but I get no sound from the bluetooth devices. This is on an upgrade from 4.0 to 4.2. Both devices I'm having issues with worked fine in 4.0. Other than this, I'm having no issues with 4.2.
[Vibrant Android Development] n3td3v:
Anyone know if slim works on the tmobile sgs2 t989?
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Not officially and doubt you can easily port. Try building from source.
[Vibrant Android Development] Demetris:
Linaro optimizations can clearly been seen in appy geek, now is flying :)

When i connect wired handsfree nothing is shown on the phone.
[Vibrant Android Development] dardani89:
Unfortunately I'm on the Tmobile GS3. I think the devs for the north american version are waiting for jelley bean source to drop before they waste any time on ICS. So for now Im stuck on stupid effing touchwiz. it's the biggest pile of crap of any software, it's as if Samsung had a team whose job was specifically to meet every morning and come up with a plan to make android as ugly as possible and how to negate any of the progress with ICS. The phone is great dont get me wrong, but i've had it for less than one week and I'm already tired of touchwiz. Anyway, sorry for the rant.
[Vibrant Android Development] Five0nIt:
Having a problem getting this to load.

I got the rom to boot, but it said the setup wizard crashed. I pulled the battery and now I'm stuck on the slim logo. The gears are turning and the back light comes on under the buttons, but nothing more... Its been loading for a while. Any ideas?

[Vibrant Android Development] prosodi:
I haven't been on this in months but I just had to say this is the best ROM I've ever used on the vibrant performance wise since the early roms from the makers of Bionix.

Well done and THANK YOU. I'm actually gonna hold off upgrading my phone solely because of this rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] BungleMX:
too much silence in this thread since about a week, just meaning something:

Nothing more to fix, this is too perfect.
[Vibrant Android Development] Five0nIt:
Anyone?

[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
Poss bad download, did you download the wizard? Slim doesn't use one by default.
[Vibrant Android Development] shrapnelx:
Well Bluetooth media audio still not working for me on a fresh 4.2 install ;). The app thinks it's streaming but no audio. It worked on and off in 4.0 and worked in froyo roms. Other than that, this is an awesome rom!
[Vibrant Android Development] Five0nIt:
No I didn't download the wizard, I guess that explains why it said it crashed maybe? But I can't get the phone to boot or get in recovery to try to flash again.

[Vibrant Android Development] shrapnelx:
You can try to get into download mode and install another ROM with Odin. You can go back to stock, or install another Odin package. I just install this:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1441976

for a rooted froyo image with clockwork recovery. From there I just followed the instructions for installation coming from froyo.
[Vibrant Android Development] darksonic:
Just flashed this. Twice now I've had an issue where my screen would not come back on, forcing me to power cycle the phone. Apologies if this has been asked before in the thread - the "Search Thread" button is mysteriously missing.
[Vibrant Android Development] n3td3v:
Just saying I have experienced the exact same issue three times since I have been on 4.2, but never prior to this version.
[Vibrant Android Development] Demetris:
Me 2 just flash other kernel and SOD will be fixed.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
flash a CM9 build or something like that, then mine. that usually works.
[Vibrant Android Development] Incredible_Culp:
ok ill try that.. ill get back to you
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
Interesting.... I had left ICS due to unresolved poor battery. Tried the latest CM9 build, wasn't happy with it as a daily driver and had one last flash of ICZEN.... This time installed with latest glitch kernel and battery life issues are gone. Not as good as froyo but now liveable.

I had put this down to the glitch kernel, but maybe something about installing cm9 helped?
[Vibrant Android Development] GTOJim:
I like the Glich Kernel's a lot but I found the battery life is so good with Slim using the stock kernel I've been hesitant to try anything else.

With ICZEN I also felt my battery was better using Glitch. But there is a but for me, occasionally with all the ICS roms I've tried exception being Slim my CPU would run at 100% at times for no apparent reason. The phone could be sitting idle for hours and suddenly the CPU would jump to 100%. Noticeable due to being warm when picking it up. Naturally when this happened my battery drained like crazy. I haven't read of anyone else with this problem, so thinking I'm the only one, this is the first time I've posted about it.

Glad you found a combination that's working for you.
[Vibrant Android Development] ajvasudhar:
Long press on Home does not get current running application

Not sure, if anyone else has faced this issue, long press on home does seem to fail.

I have done a factory reset and did a clean install (this option was suggested in some of the forums), not sure whats going haywire here. I use NOVA launcher and removed all those customization pertaining to home buttons, still I have this issue.

Any inputs/help ??
[Vibrant Android Development] caldran:
Nop no problem here. I check cpu spy now and then the phone sleeps like a log :D.

The only problem I am facing is dialer hangs and FCs sometime may be twice a day.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
try clearing dialer data/cache, contacts cache. see if it repeats. if it does, try and get a logcat pls.
[Vibrant Android Development] mryounghc:
I have dialer hangs and fc on all ice rooms.I think its if you try to dial too fast when first opening
[Vibrant Android Development] mwms77:
Try flashing the data fix zipbposted earlier in this thread from recovery. That fixed my data/datadata issue.
[Vibrant Android Development] mmfxda:
Possible bugs

This rom has been the Smoothest ICS rom I have tried thus far, great work. I installed this rom 2 days ago, Had great battery then but now it just looks wrong.

Woke up today with the alarm clock app on the phone but the screen was black. Tried using the power button but nothing I can still hear it fine but couldn't do anything to get the screen to work again. I took a screen shot and hard rebooted the phone. then took another screen shot of the power menu.

The night before I had charged it and re-calibrated the battery before going to bed and after reboot it was at about %60. Most of the drain is from the OS.

Didn't install any custom kernels or themes, Didn't change any of the performance options.

The only odd setting that I tried was to change LED color to blue. I reverted that back to white and will let you know if it happens again.

Also the percentage battery text is on top of the battery logo. When charging, one of the digits is unreadable.

I occasionally see Spam/adds in the notification menu. I didn't install any apps I didn't have in other roms.

Tried the GPS briefly today and it worked but only got a maximum of 6-7 Satellite locks.

I hope this helps.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
Something is wrong, do a clean reinstall including format system.
[Vibrant Android Development] c-pimp:
Did you do anything other than install this and passion kernel? Which passion kernel are you talking about? Kiss 2.2 or which one? I have yet to see mute unmute bug go away in any ics or cm7 build
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
with 2.8 mute unmute is gone is what my tester tells me.
[Vibrant Android Development] c-pimp:
so all kiss kernels above 2.8 dont have mute unmute bug? I just downloaded kissv4 ill be testing this tonight/tomorrow.

thanks for the info, if this proves to be true im sure FaultException would be glad to know this as he is looking for a mute/unmute fix right now and I would sure be glad to have that problem fixed once and for all!

time to start testing!
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
i have no idea abt kiss kernels, i was referring to SLim 2.8
[Vibrant Android Development] nerve101:
Im sorry if this was stated earlier,

but how is this compared to Euphoria RC1?

I'm running it now, and when it goes to deep sleep

the gps shuts down and i have to run

GPS test to get it back to working order.

Mute and un-mute is a fixed issue.

Battery life so far on it is reasonable, i get about 13 hours.

i heard great feed back from my brother using it on his nexus, just want to see if its that good for the vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] iurisl2:
Great Rom

Very fast and smooth

I love the smaller icons and fonts

Good job
[Vibrant Android Development] mwms77:
I upgraded to 2.8 when you released it. Had mute/ unmute problems on 2.7 but 2.8 fixed it completely. Also fixed the buggy speakerphone, working great on 2.8 now!
[Vibrant Android Development] caldran:
I am still facing mute unmute sometimes. I say 50 percent of them :confused:

mryounghc you are right about the dialer. dialing too fast causes problem.

I am facing unresponsive camera app also.

[Vibrant Android Development] darksonic:
What kernel do you recommend?
[Vibrant Android Development] Globespy:
It's ok mate.......we all sometimes make uneducated posts because (usually) we didn't fully read the original post or run a few searches.

If you are new to flashing ROM's there is plenty of information on here on how to do everything, and most of the dev's link to this stuff for noobs.

The devs sometimes get a little short when they see posts that could have easily been fixed by reading the instructions a little more carefully, so take 10-20 minutes to read up and you should get things working out just fine.

Good luck.

Is there really any other choice than Subzero's latest build?

As far as I know if you want to use any ROM other than the latest CM9, AND want your GPS to work (not perfect but close), then it's about your only choice.

If GPS is not important then flash whatever kernel you like. I think a lot of people like the Devil kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] hughej:
I jumped in at 3.6 and the battery was great on that and 3.9.

4.0 and 4.1 slipped a bit on my phone, but now that 4.2 has had time to really settle in the battery is hitting it's stride. At 5% after 28 hours. I'm not a power user, I have a different phone for work, but I don't want to have to plug my personal phone in more than once a day

:D
[Vibrant Android Development] wajanus:
I love the way this rom works but there are some issues that will probably make me switch to something else.

I have two different Vibrants on hand, one of them is mine and has been flashed a ton of times, the other is my friend's and was vanilla until I sped it through upgrades to Slim.

Issues:

constant force close on apps

phone turns off randomly and frequently. Think putting down your phone and it turns off. Calling someone, phone turns off.

rom logs me out off apps (facebook, twitter etc.) and logs me back in later (this happens only on my phone so idk)

This happens both on mine and her phone. I mean, I love the rom otherwise, I get power, it's fast, it's sleek, GPS works much better than with any other rom and the phone lasts a long time (no need to charge more than once a day at max).

I'd love to make this work.

Anyone else have these issues? or have a fix for them? I'm using the latest install 4.2 and my friend is using 4.0
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
I had some little issues but it was because I had not wiped clean my phone in about 4-5 builds. Once I used Wipe Data/Factory Reset, Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache, and also Format /system in Mounts And Storage, then flashed the base and then essentials, all issues went away (issues like some FCs I had previously). Currently using 4.2 with SubZero kernel.
[Vibrant Android Development] OTAw:
I'm still facing FC's when trying to use the video recorder in 4.2. It seems to record at the 480p setting but not 720p.. and changing back to 720p from 480p FC's the camera app. Any guess at why?
[Vibrant Android Development] Demetris:
Some respect to the developers never hurts.

Watch that attitude of yours.
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
You sure you are on stock kernel sounds like BM is enabled.
[Vibrant Android Development] OTAw:
I'm actually on the latest 'devil' kernel. But the thing is that this was a problem even on the stock kernel. Slim is the only ICS rom that I've experienced this issue, thus far.
[Vibrant Android Development] bababe:
I have problem with screen rotation, my screen wont rotate at all. .. anyone has that... ?:confused::confused:

Other than that this rom rocks... fast GPS, nice battery... light weight .fast ... Thank you devs...:good:
[Vibrant Android Development] hkfan:
Rotation works fine... Try clean install
[Vibrant Android Development] bababe:
:crying: just done that.. format everything ...clean install, .. still no rotation.:crying::crying:
[Vibrant Android Development] hkfan:
Try Odin... Hope your sensor is not messed up
[Vibrant Android Development] Drjjones426:
Do you have rotation checked to on?
[Vibrant Android Development] bababe:
It works fine under Miui 2.3.5 roms hix hix... dunno wat wrong w ICS rom .. I have rotation problem w Doc Masters Rom too
[Vibrant Android Development] wajanus:
I'll try it out. Is subzero included with ICS or do I have to flash it separately?
[Vibrant Android Development] nirogu325:
Nope, separately.
[Vibrant Android Development] RaymondPJR:
If Devil is one of the modded "bigMemory" kernels, that brakes 720p playback and maybe recording too. If there is no fix in this thread you can try the one from the SubZero Kernel thread.
[Vibrant Android Development] vostok4:
Can someone help me try to figure out what is going on with my Vibrant and Slim?

I was on 4.1, then dirty flashed to 4.2. I got absolutely terrible battery life with the phone almost never going to deep sleep, being kept awake by the Android System.

I then clean flashed (cache/dalvik/system) 4.2, and put on subzero kernel. Still, no dice. I'm losing about 10% an hour, phone is never going to deep sleep, Android System using up the most battery and keeping it awake.

I have tried without wifi/BT/GPS, I have no widgets running (really nothing installed other than google voice and google gmail), and I use Zeam Launcher.

Does anyone know where to start digging? It's very frustrating, I'm going to switch back to CM9 but I really like the premise of this mod, slim and easy.
[Vibrant Android Development] dnd02220:
i'm currently on latest CM9 and i can't flash Slim. I get:

E:failed to verify whole-file signature

E:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

What should i do?
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesey10:
I'm getting similar battery life, after reflashing to stock, then flashing straight to SLIM 4.2. I even have juice defender set to "aggressive" and lose at least 10% an hour. Slim 4.1 lasted over 30 hours for me.
[Vibrant Android Development] gregc2009:
I just checked mine (4.2 w/Devil Kernel) and am at 90% after 4.5 hours. A few days ago, I got over a day and a half.
[Vibrant Android Development] jamesey10:
The difference in our screenshots is the "Android System" usage. How can I figure out what is causing this?
[Vibrant Android Development] gregc2009:
System Panel is a fantastic app to track down rogue processes. Have to set it up to do monitoring, but once done, you'll be able to go in and look at the history of what apps are eating cpu cycles.

Also, did you try to reboot your phone? I've had issues in the past where a reboot cured it.
[Vibrant Android Development] OTAw:
Thanks for your help. I ended up fixing the problem. I had d.l the 'Devil Kernel Config' app from the market upon flashing the kernel and 'RAM Settings' was set to 'Big Mem 403 MB'. So I instead changed it to the next selection down, 'XL 391 MB', restarted the phone and presto.

I remember reading somewhere that selecting big mem would make the 720p cam FC. And I did change the RAM settings before. My mistake was that I wasn't restarting my phone for the setting to take effect :P

So just a little heads up for anyone on the devil kernel with the same issue
[Vibrant Android Development] bababe:
Just odin back to stock then re flash to 4.2 still no rotation... :silly::silly:

the fone rotated fine when i was in stock rom too.. so I believe something off with 4.2..

waiting for the new update then...:(

[Vibrant Android Development] wtcnbrwndo4u:
So, I've been using Slim for a while, but I pretty much have no luck with GPS. Using GMaps in general is slow and sluggish, and sometimes it tends to just randomly quit while using it for no apparent reason.

Anyone else have this issue? Any recommendations?
[Vibrant Android Development] HeavyA:
subzero kernel + experia gps fix files really helps.

if you still have trouble, you could add AngryGPS and set it to MSBASED, Cold start, Xtra Off.

I had good luck with the GPS using those steps
[Vibrant Android Development] dracore:
There's an app called BetterBattery Stats. It gives a breakdown of what is actually sucking up the battery and keeping the phone in Awake. I had the same problem and with the help of the app (and some googling), I think I pinpointed the problem to Latitude trying to look for more location even when GPS is off.

I disabled the Location settings, logged out of Latitude, and rebooted the phone. I think it's better now....

fingers crossed.
[Vibrant Android Development] vostok4:
Holy ****, you're absolutely amazing. The tool is great, and guess what, it was GPS. I uninstalled Maps, rebooted, voila, no more wakelocks.

Reinstalled Maps and it seems OK for now (I never signed into Latitude in the first place).
