[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Maybe deleting your batterystats.bin when you're fully charged will help reset the indicator.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Isn't the charging animation option to show charging animation while phone is off ?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
No that's for the battery bar. The powered off animation isn't there because Krarvind never added it to the build. That's why there is a zip somewhere here with the files for it.

On the site the Powered off animation mod is available for who ever wants to to flash slimroms.com/addonsmods

Long story short. There's no way to fix my imei as I can't get back to stock. Exhausted every possibility from videos text directions and dialogue with someone who's done it before. I HAVE NO ISSUES with current borked imei. Is there anything I should NOT do to keep my phone working? I thought imei errors kill your signal but everything's good. What imei REALLY effect?

It all depends on the carrier, I had a borked IMEI for awhile, I didn't notice it for a while. I didn't have an problems. I just prefer to have my own IMEI though :P
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
After some hours of trying this rom, I've found that:

- There is no counter for missed call, mesage, email notification. Is it?

- And the app shortcuts on desktop is not removed automaticaly after uninstall.

- And no gallery media (re)scanning immediately for updating gallery database after changing (delete, update...) media file in the file manager. The refresh function from the gallery is ineffective.

hi on my coworkers captivate with Slim, he gets a error message when sending a text, saying "message not sent". He can receive text messages fine though. Any ideas? :D
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Make sure the APN's are correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I don't know that that would cause problems with sending and not receiving. Odd.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Me neither, but its the only thing phone wise that might give them issues. I'm assuming its with the default app not 3rd party (because if it is, its app sided)

Yeah its default app. :-\

I had a coworker with this same issue on bone stock 2.2... He tried rebooting, pulling battery, etc and for some reason he tried pulling the sim card out booting then turning it off then putting it back in and it worked. Not sure if it well help you but worth a shot if you haven't already tried it.

The stock launcher is Zeam. I don't think you can get notifications for missed calls/emails/sms.

Here is the thread for the launcher:

Wow! Loving this ROM. Only tweak I needed was Apex Launcher and now all is well. The GPS locks FAST for me and everything is running smooth. Updated to Semaphore ICS 1.0.0sc also since I assumed the 3.2 release was using an older version.

Looking forward to future releases :)
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
Slim doesn't use the Semaphore kernel stock :)

[Captivate Android Development] ken-droid:
Zeam Launcher!

Don't give up on Zeam Launcher!

I used Slim about 4 different times between flashing new ROMS, and in the end I came back to this.

Every time I used Slim I decided to use Apex or Nova Launchers instead of Zeam, but after Semaphore 1.0 came out, I decided I want to try the bigmem kernel and apply the 720p support patch from the i9000 forum (which worked wonderfully by the way).

After changing everything to my liking, I now have Slim 3.2 running Semaphore 1.0 bigmem, with 720p support, AND with Zeam Launcher (the fastest launcher you'll need).

You can use Zeam launcher and still keep your phone looking sexy!!!

Now I know why Slim is included in this wonderful benchmark. It's one of the fastest ROMs out there!
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
I mean that's the ICS stock laucher, and the notifier is the small number (1,2,3...) which notice the number of missed call or unread sms I've not touched. I remember that the Tw laucher of Captivate has this function (ADW, Go laucher too) but I don't remember that the AOSP roms have it or not. :p Btw, is there any way to have that notifier for ICS laucher in this rom? Thanks! :D
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Just wanted to say thanks again krarv for this awesome ROM. Nothing short of amazing
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
^ I think that the phone is in standby mode at least half of the time.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Well I only had 4.1 hours of screen time on this cycle but I do have 2 exchange accounts that stay on push for work averaging about 65 emails and alerts a day. I'm sure other people gets lot more screen time and battery life but for me, on my other ROM set up I used the phone the exact same way and was only getting about 5 hours max. So obviously this ROM has made a difference

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Tab
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Plus 1/2 the time would be 50% not 16. 16% is roughly 5.9 hours of the 37 hours total on battery. Half the time would be 18.5 hours. That's just simple math.

Again, I'm sure you and many others fair much better but for me, just making through a whole work shift makes me almost pass out

[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
The % is a measure of the draw on the battery, not time.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Pic of screen time... or it never happened.

Sent from the frozen tundra known as Canada.
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
The % is the sum of battery power which the process used in one battery cycle time. In your case the standby process used total 16% of battery power in 37 hours. In the same 37 hours, the screen used 26%. I think you know that the standby process itself always uses very small sum of battery power, but in your case it used 16%, so it must be standby for a long time of 37 hours total.

Your battery cycle time is my dream, which I only can get when using the stock UCKK4 rom. I always try to prolong my phone to live whole one day with this rom, but my usage frequency make it impossible. :p

*** Anybody know where to find the original Slim wallpaper (grey background with circles)? I don't see it in the wallpapers gallery.
[Captivate Android Development] mletchworth:
+1. You guys know you can touch each item in the battery stats list for more detail.

For example, I'm at 32% and have been running about 16 hrs on battery. My screen accounts for 9% of that. So you might assume 16 hrs x .09 = 1.44 hours. however, when I click on "Screen", I see that my screen has only been on for 14 minutes. BIG DIFFERENCE!!

Either way I'm happier than a pig in slop because the bottom line is that I use my phone in the exact same way as I always have and have gone from 5-8 hours to over a day with this ROM.

So standby time, screen use, etc are irrevalent to me. Only thing that matters is that "time on battery" number. Well worth the donation
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericSYN:
Love the rom, but I have to charge my phone 2+ times a day. Any tips or suggestions? If I listen to music and do a little browsing it lasts for about 4 hours max. I looked in the OP and the slim site and couldn't find any info so I'm asking here. Thanks

Edit: wifi,rotate,GPS, sync all off. Screen brightness is minimum, and I'm undervolted.
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
The lock/unlock sound volume is so low :(

The charging animation, I ticked on this option (also installed the add-on package too), but there is no animation on the battery icon when I plug the charger.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Animation means battery bar not battery Icon.
[Captivate Android Development] kusabikuri:
Love how smooth this ROM is! One issue I've come up with is that I when I use headphones and I get a text in the middle of listening to music (poweramp), the text notification sound comes out of my phone speakers and the music will play through the speakers as well for a couple seconds.

My installation aborted when trying to use 2borange. I saw both zip files listed, base and essentials, when I rebooted into cwm, but I get:

Tried twice.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you try redownload? I'm assuming you where on Slim with stock kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
Flashed base, Essentials, modem and Semaphore. No problems! Thanks for the update! :D
[Captivate Android Development] captican:
Yes. I tried a second time and I am using the stock kernel. I then downloaded both parts from the normal site and flashed them without any problems. (Not sure it is related, but I have had problems flashing stuff when I moved it from my pc to my sdcard; I have much greater success when I can flash directly from download/. Could it be that since I flash from there that the typical path is messed up?)
[Captivate Android Development] BigTortoise:
What I did was flash 3.2 base and essentials after wiping caches and factory reset and wiping /system. Then I booted, went back into recovery, and then flashed 3.3

Haven't tried using semaphore or glitch yet but I probably will soon to get voodoo sound. But try that and see if it works out for you.

Rom seems to be extremely solid so far. No restarts no random quirks; awesome job!

For all those with issues please..READ and RESEARCH.

Here are the steps i used that led me with a 100% working flash.

1. Flash to Stock w/ Odin 1 click

2. Root Stock Rom w/ 1 click root

3. D/L Rom Manager and flash CWM

4. Flash stable version of CM7 (Google CM7 + Captivate for Website/Wiki Instructions)

5. Flash the 2.6 Version of this Rom

6. Flash 2.7 Captivate essentials

7. Flash 2.7 Rom

8. Flash 2.7 Captivate essentials again.

9. Enjoy..

took me all of about 20mins

[Captivate Android Development] sulaimanz:
Thanks you

Thanks a lot for your work on this ROM

Installed 2.7 + essentials + wifi fix + add-on package + upgraded to latest version of CM9 gapps 4.0.4 (http://goo-inside.me/gapps )

Observations from 1 day usage:

Pros:

Smooth as ICE

Best battery life compared to all ICS roms that I have installed on captivate

ASS app is excellent

Cons:

Facebook sync not working

Boot time is more with/without boot animation

I am here not to criticize your rom or your work, reporting things from my usage to help you further.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
So after about an hour last night I was able to successfully get SLIM running on my phone. The order of events was as follows:

Note: I was coming from Galnet Miui 2.11.26

1). Downloaded base rom + essentials package

2). Data/factor reset --> Flashed base rom through CWM = boot loop

3). Rebooted into CWM, data/factory reset --> Flashed again through CWM = boot loop

4). Used Odin 1 click to install 2.3.4

5). Installed EZboot GB boot loaders

6). Flashed SLIM again --> boot loop

7). Repeated step 4 and 5

8). Downloaded and flashed - teamhacksung's build 16

9). THS16 worked/phone booted

10). Rebooted into recovery and flashed SLIM base rom + essentials package with no problems

11). Phone now has SLIM ICS on it :D

So tldr; Stock 2.3.4 --> EZboot GBL --> THS16 --> SLIM + essentials

Works perfectly. This ROM is awesome.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Wow thats some detailed procedure. I would like somebody who is on MIUI or another ICS or GB Rom to try this and tell me if this works

Flash my Essentials first, reboot to recovery

wipe data, flash base + essentials + wifi patch ( sgs, and captivate users), reboot

[Captivate Android Development] OBatRFan:
I was on ICSSGS RC3, wasn't happy with performance so I was going to flash back to a KK4 ROM (Serenity). I flashed Corn kernel, then Serenity. Flash didn't work, I was still stuck on CM Platypus kernel. Repeated process, same problem. I decided to flash Slim ICS. Cleared data, dalvik, then flashed Slim package, then essentials without rebooting. Didn't flash any extra kernels or anything. Everything is stock.

Also, my power button has stopped working :/

XDA App, Samsung Captivate
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
weird mate, really weird. get to recovery ( via adb), wipe everything, flash my essentials first, reboot to recovery, flash base + essentials + wifi patch.
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
No wonder Serentiy didn't work after you flashed it from ICS. Because you have to repartition your phone when going from AOSP to Samsung GB Roms.

I had no problems flashing this ROM, I was on Dark Knight ICS, then wiped data/cache, and formatted system and flashed the base rom and the captivate essentials package right afterwards (like the OP says) and everything works perfect. You should be able to follow this procedure from any ROM (such as KK4, CM7, ICS, etc).

[Captivate Android Development] ChaoticKinesis:
Thank you, excellent job with the wifi fix!

I've noticed what appears to be another bug. The battery has been very inaccurate on this ROM. Sometimes my phone seems to discharge quickly and when I plug it in, the battery indicator will hardly change for a full hour or more (+/- 2%). Sometimes it even looks like the battery is slightly depleting while connected. When I reboot, it will show a much higher percentage. Also, the lockscreen percentage does not always agree with the notification bar percentage.

The charging animation when the phone is off no longer works either.
