The Samsung Captivate is a TURD. From sleep deaths to non working GPS, its a turd. But with this rom, and semaphore, its the best smelling turd ever. Thanks guys!

Is any one else having an issue when typing? I start typing and it doesn't show, however if I exit the messaging app and go back in it will work.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
It's something happening on all sgs devices and I think it's ICS specific.
[Captivate Android Development] C3LL0PHANE:
Ahh ok. I thought it was Swype at first. I will just have to deal with it I guess.

I just installed the butter theme and I'm very impressed. I love that it isn't over the top. Very clean. Thanks

Hey guys,

I got something creating a file .thumbnails inside DCIM folder that is almost 900MB. Is there a way to avoid it? Is this from Gallery and if so, since I use Quickpic is there a problem if I remove Gallery?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
DCIM folder? as in /sdcard/dcim? Thats where all your pics and videos go.... Whats in that folder?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
There are only 4 jpgs in inside that .thumbnails folder with that large file called .thumbdata3-1763508120

There are a few more folders inside DCIM but empty and yes in SDCARD.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well it isn't Gallery. I don't have any such file eating up space. Must be another app.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I had a file like that in the thumbnail folder. It was only 29 megs but I deleted it anyway. I suspect it has a log or a prefetch type function and will be re-created if necessary. So far, my phone hasn't exploded. :p
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I got that too but it's not 900MB big. Just delete them and monitor it?
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I delete it but it ends up coming back though.
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
How to display the headset icon when it attached guys? :D
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I would recommend freezing every app that manages pictures or maybe even media in general and trouble shoot which one is creating it.

Which Semaphore ICS Kernel is best to use with Slim ICS 3.3? 1.0.0c or 1.0.0sc?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
sc = slim captivate AFAIK
[Captivate Android Development] MS Gray Man:
Not sure what app is adding the folder, but I regularly remove the gallery from the phone with no issues...

Just use tibu and back up the app, then remove it.. If you miss it for any reason restore it.
[Captivate Android Development] dualmoon:
How often do you browse those folders with Windows/Macintosh? Those usually create thumbnail files.
[Captivate Android Development] Philux:
Does anyone know how to Enable on-screen Virtual buttons or have the modified framework-res.apk for Slim 3.3? My capacitive buttons no longer work and the Virtual Buttons are the only thing keeping my Cappy a float. :p

Enable Navigation Bar in Setting > ASS > Navigation bar > Enable and modify it.
[Captivate Android Development] Philux:
Sweet! Thanks! I only have one shot at going through the menu options, because I cant hit back. I looked a few places and had to reboot about 10 times. Guess I gave up too soon. :rolleyes:

Glad it was built in. Thank you for your help.
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
Oh the navigation bar is built in to this rom as well sweet lol. I already had the framework res ready to go I will note that in my thread so everybody knows :D

Quick question, can the navigation bar be resized also through the ROM?

I am in slim 3.3 and thethering and portable hotspots doesn't work. When I turn on hotspots, it connects for a split second and disconnects immediately. I am wondering if this is a known issues in this rom.

Thanks for your assistance.

Reboot issue..

When using titanium backup, I go to restore certain apps and it just reboots the phone and will not restore my app. Also does the same thing when trying to install some apps from the market... Anyone else have this issue??
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You should consider reflashing

Does anyone else find this rom to be kinda sluggish at times? Quadrant scores don't seem to be too high, and lag on Temple Run :(
[Captivate Android Development] lqdcat:
Same here
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Please refrain from using quadrant as a way to measure a ROM's performance...
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
Not sluggish AT ALL. You should be pulling high 15's low 16's on new quadrant if your oce'd

Quadrant means nothing. Try something like Dungeon Defender Second wave. That game runs like it never did with this rom and extra ram.

That is REAL life performance.

Flashed Slim 3.3 last night and Portable Hotspot is working fine for me, actually using it right now to post this
[Captivate Android Development] Liferules:
I've had the exact same problem on another ICS Captivate ROM. In fact, that's why I'm browsing here--considering switching to another ROM. Wonder if it is some type of ICS "thing"?
[Captivate Android Development] goabunny:
Actually portable hotspot doesn't turn on with Semaphore kernel. It works fine with glitch or default kernel.

Did you enable net filter in the Semaphore app? If not, please do so to enable wifi hotspot.

Any one have an issue with digital compass? I tried all of compass app on the market but not of them work. Anyone knows how to fix? I use SlimICS with kernel 1.0 scbm
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
My compass works well (Slim 3.3 with stock kernel). Have to calibrate it first.
[Captivate Android Development] bearofbabe:
Thank bro! Can you show me how to calibrate it?
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
I calibrate it in the app, such as Catch Compass. You also should use the stock kernel of the rom. With it I've no problem with any feature. And with 383MB user availabe ram of stock kernel, I think no need big mem kernel anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] bearofbabe:
I just calibrated but it seems not working. It shows right only when i put the phone parallel with me. When I turn the phone it show different position. Thus, i think this is a problem with accelerometer not magnetometer. Anyone know this issue plz help me!
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
At first my compass has same problem with you. Be patient and calibrate it many times, that's the way make it works right for me, you too maybe.
[Captivate Android Development] m7ia:
Wondering if anyone else is interested in this. I love this ROM (seems way faster and more trouble free than most AOKP variants I've tried), but I'd like support for a couple of languages not included. If I wanted to rip it from a standard AOSP ICS rom and put the files in /system, does anyone know how I'd go about doing this?

Deep idle isn't supported by krarvind. His kernel has no support nor does his framework for it.

Someone please tells me where is the setting which set the response time of the screen rotation (or something like that, I don't remember exactly the name of that option). I set it to 10ms before, but now, after hours of finding, I can't find it again :(

// 3.3 removed it?
[Captivate Android Development] Espaa Valorum:
Dumb question perhaps, but - I have Slim 3.2, and installed the Semaphore kernel afterwards. Will the 3.3 install replace the kernel?

Accidentally hit your thanks button when tried to quote you hah! Anyway, I haven't upgraded to 3.3 yet and on 3.2 it is settings > ASS > General UI (last option)
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
I've asked a friend who is on version 3.2 and he gave me the same answer. So it was removed on version 3.3.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Yes. Just reflash semaphore again
[Captivate Android Development] GerStud101:
Semaphore...?

Total n00b Q here -- I flashed Slim 3.2 last week and have now upgraded to 3.3. Loving it--have had a few instances where my phone just randomly shut off, but nothing major (has only happened twice). Otherwise great ROM, epescially with Go Launcher EX with ICS theme running on top for a more ICS-flavored app drawer.

On to my question: I see a LOT of talk on this thread about the Semaphore kernel. Can someone explain to me what Semaphore is, and the benefits of flashing Semaphore over the stock SlimICS kernel?

If this is not the proper place for this question, feel free to move or to private message me. Don't mean to clog this thread. Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Semaphore kernel (as well as Icy Glitch) are ICS kernels that offer more options than stock. More governors, I/O schedules, OC/UV (Live OC) and a list of other things stick doesn't have. Semaphore SC does have the same amount of ram as SLIM does, even more if you kill 720 recording with SCBM.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Just thought you might want to know. I went outside and and opened up google maps and it kept searching for GPS lock. Waited almost 10 minutes. Rebooted into recovery and flashed Hellstorms fix. Restarted phone and opened up google maps again and GPS locked almost instantly soooo...

Maybe once baked not always baked ?
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
If it becomes a problem, you may consider flashing 3.3 again. I had my phone reboot twice in the first few hours. A reflash seemed to have cleared things up.
[Captivate Android Development] C3LL0PHANE:
I will take that as a no...
[Captivate Android Development] Katze Pavilion:
In my case, data transfer speed via USB to internal storage is really slow, about 2MB/s comparing with 7-10MB/s of the stock.

[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
I've had same issue since coming to ICS, but I've only been on CM9 alpha where it was a known issue and this ROM. I'm guessing since the kernel is based off same as the CM9 one?

new Slim version updates via app ( for eg: 3.3 - >3.4 and so on). when i am ready to release it, more info will be posted in the blog.

GPS

yeah, GPS not gr8 for me either, maybe we can have a fix in 3.4...please :D
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
Just wanted to report that it is the stock Camera app that creates it for me and that explains why it freezes forever when I start it. Must be creating the file. Last time it stopped at 1.6GB! no idea why so I am using a different app now.

Unable to send SMS

First off, this rom kicks so much ass. I was using another ICS rom and this one is so much more efficient when it comes to resources. My only problem: SMS. I can recieve SMS messages from anyone, but cannot send any SMS messages. I tried to enter the SMSC number, but am unable to do so, as it always says Update Error, after I enter a new SMSC number. I go to phone, dial *#*#4636#*#*, and go to phone information, enter new SMSC, then hit update. Am I doing something wrong? I have entered it with a +1, without the + and just a 1 followed by number, and also without +1 with just the number. Anyone else experiece this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
Figured it out in case anyone else needs help. It uses pdu format for the smsc

[Captivate Android Development] thunor:
Ok, I'm gonna feel pretty dumb asking this, and in the end I'm sure the answer will have been starting me in the face, but I'm pretty stumped here. Where do I turn on and tweak Live OC? Ice looked under the performance tab in ASS, under the developer settings menu, and HM Carbide's Semaphore tool since installing the scbm version of Semaphore, and nothing. Do i need third party software like SetCPU for this or what?

And last but certainly not least krarvind you the man!! I've been going back and forward between different versions of Slim and vibranturk's Doc's Master and so far 3.3 Slim is the cream of the crop. Awesome, light and powerful. Thanks for your hard work. My cappy's kicking ass and looking good while he's at it. :-)

Some Battery Stats info on Slim ICS 3.2

Screenshots attached.

I was mainly on standby (2G), a couple of text messages. Rom Version 3.2, Kernel and Baseband Nexus - KB3

But I was expecting better, appreciate if someone can suggest a better baseband to use that gives clear voice calls and better standby time. I don't much care about 3G data performance as long as the first two requirements are met. Appreciate a quick feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Regards / Rahuman.
[Captivate Android Development] goabunny:
Is pulse notification works with this rom? I have it enabled and I don't see the notification on the buttons when email or message arrives?
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
Yes, it does. Try doing a fresh install after Data+Cache+Dalrvik Wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
I'm not sure if anyone answered this for you or if you figured it out. If you are using Semaphore the manager has built in presets. If you want to completely customize it you'll have to either use another app (NSTools, I don't use it but if I remember correctly people were having issues with it) or you might be able to edit the scripts for Semaphore (don't ask me how I'm not sure I've never done it). All I've ever done with Semaphore is used one of the presets. Hope that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If you are on semaphore, the app oc is live oc'ing (it auto adjust voltages) else you need NSTools.
[Captivate Android Development] thunor:
Thanks, and you too prbassplayer. Like I said b4, it was staring me in the face. Forgot that this ROM is "so slim" even nstools isn't included. Figured it out a few seconds after posting. But thanks all the same.

From what you said dank, I take it there's no difference between using the presets in the Semaphore app (which I frequently used back when I used Semaphore with Saurom) over tweaking the "Live OC" setting on nstools or another other program, or did I misunderstand you?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
The problem is Semaphore uses init'd scrips and NStools actively modifies (it can save in initd but thats been working funky for me). Problem being overlap of commands causes the phone to act funky. I use NSTools for voltage control and modifying governor settings.
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
Well there is a difference but I just used the preset in Semaphore app cause it was easy and I don't feel like tweaking it with NSTools to find something that works for me. I've actually been busy at work/home so I'm still on stock kernel after flashing 3.3; anyway, there is a difference NSTools gives loads more control over it and as prbassplayer gave some other useful info on the differences.

OTA Patch: Go to http://slimroms.com for details, info and d/l link
[Captivate Android Development] mletchworth:
Sweet! Can't wait to try it on 3.4
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
I use both. I have the semaphore with the Over/Underclocking set at the default 1000 but then I use NSTools to Live OC at 120. I don't see a live oc option in the semaphore app. What am I missing ?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
The OC values in Semaphore app (1100, 1140 and 1200) are Live OC (110%,114%,120%). His kernel just auto sets live OC and adjust voltage accordingly. You can just shrug the app off and play with voltages and live OC manually but his app makes a quick and semi painless way to live OC.
[Captivate Android Development] stew1411:
does this from update itself? I was browsing the play store when it just reboots. Right after the kernel splash screen, a box pops up and says android updating with a loading icon. Then the home screen shows.

[Captivate Android Development] UMGixxer:
Im still loving 3.2 not even sure if i wanna flash the 3.3 update lol, although I do have two minor issues if anyone wants to take a crack at them: When I reboot the phone the battery status on the lock screen always says 100% but it fixes itself when you unlock the phone and my second problem is that sometimes when I am on a call the phone icon will disappear from the top and I have to dig thru the phone to end a call or whatever.
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
So are we supposed to flash the OTA patch on 3.3 or wait till 3.4? I am confused :confused: I read over at slimroms.com, but it never really says what to do with it other than flash via CWM.

Thanks

Geeve
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
OTA is released now..... Why would you wait for 3.4? isn't the point of OTA to update the rom...... The whole point of releasing OTA patch is that if you want a notification and update all from the phone no browser. Just use the app ;)
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
OTA patch info updated here. Read NOTE 2 carefully.

[Captivate Android Development] Thunder22:
I have a captivate but I change my build.prop info as a I9000, so viber will work. Will that create problems for me updating via OTA in the future?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Shouldn't as OTA doesn't use buildprop and the scrip doesn't care if our phones is i9000, Vibrant, Captivate or Nexus S.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Forgive me for my stupidty but I'm having difficulty understaning the OTA app I flashed. I'm currentlyon your latest 3.3 so at the moment there is nothing I need to do with the OTA app in ASS ?

And do I need that 2BOrange if I have the OTA app you created ? Hate assing stuff I don't need
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Correct, an update will appear when you hit the update app in the notification bar, afaik, I've been on this rom for like an hour. I am also assuming that you don't need 2BOrange, seems like it does the same thing as the ota app.

Now, what are the kernel options for this rom, I checked the site but no mention. Since the latest b7 from six is not on his thread I'm wondering if there's a kernel other than stock that people use. Which Semaphore or Glitch? Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
OTA replaces 2BOrange. It will notify when update is available if you want and handle dl everything (including apps and add ones) no need of computer or browser.
