It's happened to me on both Slim 4.1 and 4.2. I'm not using stock kernel so I'll probably get flamed for asking this. No I don't have a nandroid. Reflashing ROM isn't even working either now. Gotta format system...

I manually rebooted the phone. I wasn't doing anything.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Stopped Working?

I've been through a lot of this thread, I I want to say two things:

1. Sometimes you have to just uninstall and re-install an app in the market (after the first install). I'm not entirely sure why this works, but it seems to have a higher success rate than merely Clearing Cache on that particular app. And force-closing and re-Clearing the Cache. And wiping the /cache and Dalvik cache.

2. The Events display on the Lockscreen doesn't seem to work quite right. It shows that there is an upcoming event, but since it cuts off the description I don't really know what it is until I go to the calendar anyway. For example, at the moment I have an event with the following attributes:

Date {Tomorrow}

Time: 400p-900p

Title: Pace

Location 1000 W ()()()()

This event ends up being displayed on the Lockscreen as "Tomorrow at 4:00 pm (1000...", which is only so helpful. I would anticipate that the Tomorrow would turn into Today, which would probably allow me to see an extra three characters, but that's still problematic. Is there any way to have it be wider and/or span multiple lines?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Guys support for Slim 4.2 has dropped (no more fixes or updates). Krarvind is concentrating on JB. Obviously no ETAs but its in the works ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Cool beans. But I would anticipate that this would also be present in JB. :P Not really sure where to post that, since there is no thread yet ;)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
lol It isn't present since its not implemented at all. Obviously no thread since its still in early development. My point is don't expect a fix for ICS or JB for that matter. :P
[Captivate Android Development] baconatorXVI:
Sad to see Slim ICS get put out to pasture. My captivate has never been smoother or faster.

Can't wait to see what Krarvind does on JB.

Since there's no more development going on here, would anyone care to post any underclocking they've achieved? (Just to help battery life) I can't seem to find a stable setting.
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
Nice to know that :)
[Captivate Android Development] ppmz:
So no takers for someone to take over (unofficially) slim ICS development?
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
My Galaxy S Setting app is corrupt and it's no longer working. I tried to reinstall it by drag and drop the AreisParts.apk file into /system/app, but it still doesn't work. Anyone got any tips? I'd hate to reflash the ROM just so I can get it back.

You can simply limit the CPU to 800MHz.

trying to make a nandroid backup in recovery. first time through it got to /data, worked for a while, then stopped and said error in trying to backup /data. I attempted a second time but it wouldn't even start, just repeated the error message in backing up /data
[Captivate Android Development] Nick0703:
Are you using Devil Kernel? If you are trying mounting "/data" and "/datadata" manually and then try doing your nandroid backup.

yeah I am. thank you :good:

Yep

Yes you can.
[Captivate Android Development] Aron1980:
I've been busy for a while so I'm still on 3.9. Can I go directly to 4.2 without a full wipe?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I would recommend a full wipe. But try it with a dirty flash probably will work.
[Captivate Android Development] Snow.Goose:
I was starting up Netflix, when my phone rebooted straight to the slim boot animation. After that, most of my settings were messed up. I've set a lock screen, but when I unlock, it bypasses the security pattern. My home button also stopped working, and I can't remember how to set it so I can choose from silent and vibrate on my power menu. I've went through the settings, but I can't find anything. Any help?
[Captivate Android Development] baconatorXVI:
Are you overclocking? That's the only reason I've had instabilities where i boot to the slim logo.

If nothing you do fixes it you may have to re flash. Got a nandroid backup?

S2 is nice lol was gonna go for s3 but s2 at 1/3rd of the price was something I couldn't pass up. See you guys around still got the cappy if anyone wants it 50 bucks good shape broken power button. But phone works perfectly inbox me if ya want it later guys
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
As a moderator got to tell you selling outside of marketplace is a no no. Side note I want a upgrade myself but S2 lack the HD screen I want so I'm probably getting a S3 or I Gnex sadly S3 probably cheaper and new vs more expensive used Gnex lol.
[Captivate Android Development] svtfmook:
is there a mirror for slim common.zip? the download on the site is not working
[Captivate Android Development] Snow.Goose:
Yeah, overclocked, but it's always been stable. It's weird that it affected the Settings though. The problem is I just couldn't find how to get it back to normal in the settings app. Yeah, I've got a backup, but it's pretty far back, maybe a month old xD. but not much changes

Any ideas? I tried again and no luck...
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
Tried the complete reinstall process for 4.2 minus factory reset?
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
It is a nice phone, but I'm pretty sure the bootloaders are locked, and I don't think there will be a lot of development.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
That's the last thing I want to do... But I guess it can't be helped.
[Captivate Android Development] baconatorXVI:
Crap! I lost my RM command again! I'll try fixing permissions, I'll try reinstalling busy box. But last time the only thing that fixed it was a nandroid restore, i haven't made a backup for awhile. Shoot. I can't figure out what I've done to make this happen!

I'll post any results... i would really really love getting help on this. I'll post any files you want.

Thanks.

Edit, none if the above worked... any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
I reflashed from scratch, factory reset, formatting system, etc, just to freshen up the Cappy. For some reason I can't connect to Google. Icon won't turn blue. I think my imei is intact. Using the latest Devil Kernal.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Use stock. If it doesn't work with stock then ask here. If it works on stock it belongs in devil thread.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
Fixing permissions did the trick! :D
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Did you break the power button yet?
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
I have a question about the external SD. Not sure if this is a rom specific problem or what. I hook my cappy up to my pioneer head unit to listen to music. The stereo can't access the ext SD. It can see it, and when I open it, it only shows my android folder, but nothing else. It can see everything from the internal SD though. Any thoughts?

[Captivate Android Development] baconatorXVI:
I don't think it's a Rom issue. Just move your files to where the external unit can access them.
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
I would. But I have gigs of music on my external SD which is a 32 gb size.

[Captivate Android Development] Fowarek:
So I am on Slim 4.2 and it has been the best rom I've ever used... until recently. I am experiencing loads of system app force closes (browser, messaging, etc.) and apps are rendered useless until I restart the phone. This is only after about 4 hours of being on.

Another issue I have been facing is I keep getting notifications telling me that my text message memory is full. I've been deleting messages and I even lowered the limit allowed per thread and I am still getting these messages randomly. That and that my internal storage memory is low, but I have over 1GB of memory left in "Internal Memory" and over 5gb on the internal sd card.

I really hope that there's something I can do about this, because my experience with this rom has been great, and these issues all started at once.
[Captivate Android Development] The Sonos:
I'd first try a cache/dalvick (sp?) cache wipe and see if that does anything.

If that does nothing, and no one has a better idea, a reflash may be in order. Maybe full format and wipe, if you did a dirty update to 4.2.
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
lol my man! No and don't plan on it...already using volume wake and search key to lock! Best 30$ I ever spent!
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
S2 is a 4G online correct ?
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
It SAYS 4 g on the box....but its hspa+. Step above crappy and step below lte
[Captivate Android Development] cursedwave:
Just flashed this no problem and it's been treating me well so far! My only question is...

What would be the recommended (if any) way to get Play Store updated? It's not something I need, but it would be nice to have it up-to-date.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Playstore needs to be modded for compatibility. Don't think it carries over if you update,

any chance of slim bean on the captivate :fingers-crossed:
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'm running a Beta right now ;)
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
A technical question about this rom -

If I install a recent CM9 nightly before installing this rom, how much of the nightly gets overwritten by the rom - I.e. Will I retain any of the recent fixes in the nightly?

I'm curious about why CM9 needs to be installed first, and how much of it remains after installing Slim over top of it.

TIA
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
The instructions are meant for a base for all. But its really meant for flashing from none ICS to slim. None if CM9 sticks except modem (or any modem you where on any ICS rom) as Slim does not include one.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
8-0

And I was starting to think that I could stop flashing until I decided to get a new phone...

... so... you just gonna leave us hangin'? How does it look?????
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
How dare you taunt us with such news
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
well darn. I have to stay with a 3g . Would have been nice to upgrade
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Krarvind is hoping to push a release soon. Hopefully all of you will be running it soon.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
So do we get a wip report on what to expect :rolleyes::thumbup: besides the best ROM out there :sly:
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
How's the Slim version running for you? The others out right now sound very alpha.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Uh its still early. ASS got implemented on the latest build with working sgs app and hardware DSP tab . ASS only has battery, Clock and toggles. Its based on CM10 (no /datadata folder) but krarvind believes its stable enough for a release. I can't speak for other devices, except i897. ;)

head over to the slim bean captivate thread. 1.0 out now.

be nice if my cappy screen didnt crack... AND i didnt recieve a bad part in the mail...
[Captivate Android Development] Fowarek:
Wiped cache and dalvik. Didn't work. I flashed it cleanly, so maybe I'll just try reflash, but such a hassle. Any one have any other ideas? So that I may prevent this in the future?
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
Nice to hear from you again :)
[Captivate Android Development] Fowarek:
Well, I reflashed Slim and that didn't fix my problem. But after rebooting my phone 1 time, now I can't even boot into Slim. It gets stuck at the splash screen and doesn't go anywhere.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Factory reset, format /system. Then flash Device Specific and THEN flash common. I'm assuming you where coming from another ICS rom
[Captivate Android Development] The.Se7enth:
I had just flashed to this rom from MIUI, since I felt out of date and wanted something new. Looks great, decided to run the GO Launcher instead because I like having my own custom homescreen with widgets, and I tried installing Swype again since it's my preferred keyboard.

... Only, it won't open. In fact, no keyboard loads on any application. Zedge, browsers, SMS, nothing. I can't get a keyboard to display at all, which means I can't type. This is a major setback. How do I even fix this, or should I just chalk it up as a major bug and try another rom instead?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
...Not really a bug since you are the first. So you didn't factory reset or format /system did you? :p
[Captivate Android Development] The.Se7enth:
If you meant prior to flashing the rom, yes, I did. And it was working fine up until I tried activating Swype in the settings menu. Prior to that, the Android keyboard was functioning at least, but after enabling Swype, it would simply bring up the "choose keyboard" in the notification panel, which I could select and try to choose one, but it'd just close it back to the notification panel and still not actually display any keyboards, no matter what was selected.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you restore the app with data? Else I figure you need to give the keyboard a min to load after you select it.
[Captivate Android Development] The.Se7enth:
Titanium Backup. But I only selected to restore the app, I believe. And I wouldn't have expected it to make it so not a single keyboard works. None of them load, at all. Even if I select one and leave it alone for a while, it never shows up.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Sorry I can't help you. I don't use swype but I've never had this issue with SwiftKey
[Captivate Android Development] The Sonos:
Swype-user here. I haven't come across this problem, been on slim since 3.8. Try uninstalling the restored Swype and re-downloading/installing...
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
"Low on space" notification

So, I've been on Slim since 3.6 and I'm on 4.2 now using the stock kernel. Recently I've started seeing this "Low on space" notification. I searched this thread and found a post with a few replies that describes the same issue here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=27678214&postcount=2322

I have uninstalled some old apps that I don't use very often and I've been moving some apps that support App2SD over to the card and the notification might go away for a day or two, but then shows up again. I've found in other searches to "clear cache" on some of the apps that seem to keep large amounts of data while using them like Facebook, email, browser, etc, and I've been cleaning those out as well but still see the notification. I also found in searches to delete MMS messages with photos/videos attached as those tend to fill up the too small datadata folder as well. Is there a way to see what the content of the datadata folder is (assuming that is the issue which I think it is)?

Any other ideas or fixes that might gain me a little more time before I decide to take the plunge over to the "Slim Bean" thread? ;) I used to have a backup cappy that I could "play with" and install the latest cutting-edge ROMs to try out while still keeping my trusty Slim ICS but that phone finally died (water damage, I think - not too much flashing -- hah).
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You can use a root explorer type of app (like solid Explorer or es file explorer) and navigate to /datadata folder and take a look at what's there.

As for Slim Bean Powered its still early development but (I think) stable for every day use for most.
[Captivate Android Development] OKAstro:
I have this happen sometimes too. What exactly am I looking for in the /datadata folder, and what should I do if I find it?
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
I do have ES File Explorer and I looked in the /datadata folder and see numerous files. Most look current to match my current apps. I tried using ES FE to check the size of the /datadata folder bylong pressing on the /datadata folder and choosing Properties but it said the folder had 0 folders and 0 files when it obviously has content in it. Using Root Explorer app, I opened /datadata and it showed 158.91MB used and 13.09MB free. HOWEVER, I did find another "datadata" folder inside /datadata (so /datadata/datadata) which appears to have the same content. I'm not that food with "symlinks" and whatnot so that may be a true folder.

In any case, I'm going through the items one by one to find the ones that are multi-MB in size to see if they are still valid, installed apps to see if I still need them or can clean up the files/cache settings of each.

EDIT: So, I just found that my "android.providers.media" folder was 19MB so I went and cleared data on it and the low space notification went away immediately. I recently moved lots of images and video off my internal SD to the external SD and when I looked in the old media DB, the old references were still in there. Once I rebooted, the same media folder was down to under 1 MB. I'll wait until a full rescan is done but I think that's going to "clean up" a lot of the issue there.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Run these commands in your terminal:

cd /datadata

du -ks * | sort -rn

It will give you a sorted list of what's in your datadata, biggest at the top. I constantly run into this problem, and the biggest culprits for me are:

Google chrome

Google currents

Browser

Gmail (if you cache your emails)
[Captivate Android Development] The.Se7enth:
One problem with that -- no keyboard worked. So I couldn't actually go to the website to redownload it in the first place.

Instead, I just wiped all the data and cache again, formatted /system, and reflashed the rom once more. The first things I did were install the Go Launcher again, Go SMS, then went to the Swype website, redownloaded the beta and installed it, then manually installed everything from Titanium Backup one by one, app only. I think the only things I backed up both the app and data from were the SMS Backup & Restore application and Zedge.

Nonetheless, working fine now. I'm assuming it may have been a bug with restoring a previous version of Swype through Tibu, and I've been told that you have to be cautious about using the batch restore on it anyway. I'd never had any problems previously, but I've only used a few roms.

Glad to see it's working now though. Very smooth, even faster response time than I had on Miui. And I love that there's an addon detector built into the rom. But, with that said, I do have to ask -- is there a data monitor built in, or do I still have to keep an eye on it manually? It's a convenient feature I rather liked in Miui, since I've always had issues with Onavo force closing itself and losing the data count.
[Captivate Android Development] simple man:
If you go to settings-data, there's a built in data monitor (new feature of Android 4.0), you can set a warning and a shut off, by sliding the horizontal colored bars on the graph. You can also set your billing start date.
[Captivate Android Development] The.Se7enth:
Thank you! That's exactly what I needed. Onavo, not only force-closed itself constantly, but I couldn't set the 29th as the billing date. It only went up to 28 (February has 28 days). I find that a little odd since some people may have started their contracts on months with 31 days, giving them the 29th, 30th, and 31st as potential rollover dates. Nonetheless, this should work perfectly. And I like that this has a graph, and shows which apps are using how much data. I feel slow for not finding it myself, but, I'm glad I got a quick response. This community really is fantastic.
[Captivate Android Development] Fowarek:
Did a clean install. And I came from GB to ICS. When it started going bonkers I just reflashed. But I'm still having issues after the clean install, namely that my text message memory is full, which makes no sense because I literally have about 5 conversations with about 10 texts each.
[Captivate Android Development] aluvn:
Hi there, I just switched from SGSICS to Slim ICS and I have to say this ROM is awesome. Thanks to all the developers out there for your brilliant work. But there's a small bug (?) that's bugging me, which is the weird space between notifications. Look at the screenshot and you'll know what I mean.

The LCD Density in ASS is 182.
[Captivate Android Development] zzmomo73:
Make the dpi 240 instead of 182 in ASS
[Captivate Android Development] aluvn:
Wow that was a really quick reply, thanks a lot. But is there anyway to fix this without changing the DPI? I love the huge workspace.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Side effect of low DPI. You can increase it if you want in ASS.

Guess I have to live with it. Not a big deal though :) Thanks for your help.

adb & efs issues

I flashed this ROM and it looks very nice, but I can't get adb working and nitrality didn't seem to want to restore my efs partition. I've flashed back to GB for now. Any tips?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Use correct drivers? I cheat and use Devil kernel to force MTP and run Gnex drivers (I believe).
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
Care to be more specific with "correct drivers"?

I tried Nexus S and Captivate drivers.

The Google Driver Package, as well.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Oh this is Slim ICS. Just go to setting->storage and hit setting and swap mounting to MTP and adb should work if you have google's driver pack.

Yeah, this ROM looks bad-ass and seems to be fast as lightning, but I can't get my efs partition back nor can I get my computer to recognize it in USB debugging mode. I'm somewhat annoyed, as it's a long walk back to Froyo from here.

Last ditch effort. Google for Galaxy Nexus MTP drivers. You should get a hit somewhere in XDA and try those. Apart from that I can't help anymore =/
