After following the instructions on the slimroms.net page my app store is working again and remote installs from the web work as well.

Thanks again :)
[Fascinate General] 3point1986:
Two questions

1. OK, so I have a task killer. I noticed certain apps have a restart function. How do I permanently disable them from running in the background? You can stop them from running on start-up as well, but eventually they load regardless.

2. Also the softkey backlights, is there a way to turn those off?? At night there quite annoying.

Apologies if I posted this in the wrong section.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Not sure about #1 but if you are running slimbean, then check out the quiet hours option. Think that disables the back light. Might also just be in display.
[Fascinate General] Dayfid:
I've got my search button working on Slimbean. I've flashed the Vibrant version. Everything works fine. It doesn't have the Home and Back button reverse error like Vibrant ICS roms did. It also doesn't even have the bootloop while charging error that Vibrant ICS roms has.
[Fascinate General] wildblack:
With ICS what modem do you use for TELUS ? to found a good one for the GPS signial.

I Try

XXJVU_ICS_I9000.zip

ZSJPG_ICS_I9000.zip

but i loose 3G signial
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Interesting. T959 ROMs should work, but haven't with ICS or JB recently. Let us know how things move forward and ensure everything is working (phone, gps, sms, wifi, 3G). I'd be curious to know.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Try any of the ones in my signature - and look at the modem instructions in the OP to ensure you are downloading a compatible modem in the 850 range.
[Fascinate General] Dayfid:
Found a few errors. Headphone jack doesn't work and the Volume buttons are reversed. Looks like I'm switching back to the i9000 version.

Edit:

Those errors were kernel related. I just flashed the i9000 version of the Semaphore kernel and everything seems to be working great.

Edit2:

After flashing the i9000 Semaphore, I can't get any mobile connection. It says the baseband is unknown. I've tried flashing the i9000 KG3 and an ICS Vibrant modem and nothing will work. If someone else wants to mess around it and see if they can get it working, go a head.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
And that's why we stick with I9000 ROMS. ;)
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
http://karmatose.org/t959d/modems/ics_modems/850_enabled/

Also Dayfid: Dump the /system/usr/keylayout/ folder from the Vibrant ROM. I want to compare the two.
[Fascinate General] Dayfid:
https://www.box.com/s/5swcosegf0svtinhbcec
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
pwnage. Thanks! I'll compare the two tonight.
[Fascinate General] Dayfid:
Good luck. Hopefully you can find something useful in it.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
well, I got search working but now home doesn't ... can't get it back. Need to reflash (all I did was change 'assist' to 'search' but likely screwed up a mapping somewhere).
[Fascinate General] Dayfid:
I just did what you did and everything is working for me including the search key.

key 139 MENU VIRTUAL

key 102 HOME VIRTUAL

key 158 BACK VIRTUAL

key 217 SEARCH VIRTUAL

I can upload my file with the fixed search key if you would like.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
just that one entry in the cyprus layout? I must have borked something else when I did mine - and you rebooted and all keys were working?

If you want to attach to a note here - that would be great as I may have done something odd to the file.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
my permissions were only rw, and not rw r r so switching that to see if that makes a difference.
[Fascinate General] Dayfid:
Yup. Everything is working like normal. All my keys are working fine. I can't attach notes from the Tapatalk app but here's my key layout folder with the fixed search key. https://www.box.com/shared/25c6y9csqzvu0y99t01m
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Thanks, but as soon as we started chatting I was wondering about permissions - and once I switched to R R on the others - everything is working.

Have to write up something more precise, but if you find the file that Dayfid references above (just 4 entries) and change 'assist' to 'search' and ensure permissions are RW R R for the file - then all good.

:)
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Well, ****.. Now what am I going to do tonight?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
LOL sorry Karma - would have taken you 30 seconds though, although I'm glad Dayfid tried cause I thought I screwed something, but was just permissions. Nice we have everything working.

OHH - upgrade to semaphore 2.4.4 - that's something ;)
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Well, my home key stopped working, so I'm going to fiddle with that and update to the new Kernel.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Check the permissions rw r r... That fixed me up.
[Fascinate General] Dayfid:
To make things easier for all of us: https://www.box.com/s/0xbfhu23ehaw3kqh1q20

Just flash it whenever you update Slimbean. :)
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
So that's great and such a simple fix - but good we had the different layouts to test. Not sure why my permissions got altered (must be something in ES File Explorer) but that solved me up.

Everything is almost perfect now it would seem.

Flashed 2.4.4 Semaphore yesterday - all good by my accounts, and Slim 2.8 is in the hopper - once released may or may not come bundled with 2.4.4 so look for that - as well, I use the super launcher script from mnzazim (sp) and that is build dependant so he'll likely be releasing a reflasher for that.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
I've had a couple weird fq's after Semaphore 2.4.4 but whatever... If it keeps happening I'll deal with it. One each in AndSMB and AndFTP. So who knows.

If I get ambitious today, I'm going to update my guide to remove ICS stuff and update it to get Slimbean 2.7 running.

Also, I'll add some of my tweeks to get mad battery life. I've almost got JB back to ICS levels of battery life.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
That would be sweet
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
Hi guys!

I've tried the tuto to flash my SGH-T959D to Slimbean on page 161 by karmatose (thx body). But I can't get my SGS to be root : when it said to choose to root the phone, the only available choice of the CWM is ROOT / install superuser. After that : simple, adv or ext. I tried the simple but it seems only to copy somes apk files... Is there any other steps? When I get back to the 2.3.3, with root checker or with es explorer, it says that my phone isn't rooted.

Anyone can help me? I have used all the files of Karmatose.

thanks a lot!

yaaa4

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:26 PM ----------

Sorry folks!

I finally root my sgs with superoneclick. I've just backup my efs folder and i will try to flash to slimbean or maybe cm tomorow!

Sorry for the spam!
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
mnazim told me it will be fixed in version 2.8 as well.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Great - glad you are moving forward. I think the vast majority of us here are on SlimBean at this point although I know a few were on CM10.
[Fascinate General] cobyman7035:
samsung s telus

Phone: Samsung Galaxy S SGH-T959D from TELUS

Carrier: Telus ROOTED and unlocked

Model number: GT-I9000

baseband: I9000XXJVQ

Firmware: 2.3.4

ROM: DarkyROM_10.2_Resurrection.zip

Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000-cl281085

these are my stats... can someone please help me get to a jelly bean rom from here? thanks alot

private message me is ok too or in this thread

1) i dont think i have original samsung usb cable, its aftermarket

2) i can't seem to really flash roms using CWM in recovering

3) would like to use ODIN 1.85 to flash the roms! but i don't what to put in the PIT, pda, phone, csc part

4)always disable voodo lag fix BEFORE flashing any roms?

5) do i flash the ROM first, then the kernel or does it matter?

thanks again
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
1: That's fine.

2: If you're trying to flash say an ICS/JB ROM from CWM3 (GB) It's not going to work. The packages have changed. You need to update CWM to flash a CWM5/6 package. Easiest way to do this is to use Odin to flash a Semaphore JB kernel. Also, be sure to wipe, clear cache and davlik cache when switching ROMs.

3: .zip files NEED to be flashed via Odin. No exceptions. You can create your own Odin files though if you want. Guides are available.

4: Since Gingerbread, this stuff hasn't really mattered. I wouldn't even enable it.

5: Yes. Read my GUIDE on the first page. It'll walk you through EVERYTHING step by step. It's a bit out of date, but it's not much different for new builds of SlimBean.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
On Number 3 I think Karma meant .TAR files need to be flashed in Odin (zip is CWM).
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
yep, that's what I meant.

Slimbean 2.8 is out!
[Fascinate General] jonnyb16:
awesome!, and I managed to bring my cable to work today.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I have it plus the super launcher downloaded and ready to go - just recharging to 100%. Wonder if it has semaphore 2.4.4 with it.

Remember search *should* work in 2.8 without modifications, but if it doesn't - we know the fix now.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Can't you just dirty flash now? The answer is yes. Clear cache and davlik and go baby go..

That said, getting a 500 when trying to download :(

Edit.. LIES! A few refreshes at the 500 error page and it's doin' its thang.

Edit 2: Worked fine. It's got a Semaphore kernel, but I'm unsure which.
[Fascinate General] Dayfid:
Flashed it as soon as I got the update notice.

Semaphore 2.4.4 doesn't come with it. (To my knowledge) I checked the settings and it didn't say which version of the kernel it was running. Search key works.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
LOL I don't flash dirty - some habits die hard.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I *think* 3.0.47 is latest for Semaphore.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
I don't either.. But if the people making the ROM say that it's the preferred method now because of the backup scripts in place, I'm willing to give it a go.

If it's buggy, I'll wipe and go again from scratch. Hopefully it's not. Updating and not having to reinstall everything was magnificent.

Also, if anyone running SlimBean 2.7 that had Semaphore 2.4.4s installed could offer up the build number for it, that'd be super.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
3.0.47.

Confirmed on the SB thread it is 2.4.4 - they are just compiling it from source.
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
Hi folks again

I search some of my question on the forum but I haven't find answer. I want to understand what I'm doing!

- In the tutorial, it said at :

11. : Download your ROM of choice. i9000 versions of SlimICS/SlimBean/CM9/CM10 work on the T959D. You will also need grab the .zip version of the Semaphore kernel (ICS / JB) you're using and a Modem of your choosing. KG3 works best for me, your mileage may vary. Place the ROM, .zip version of the Semaphore kernel you're using and the ES File Explorer APK on your External SD card.

First : I don't know what is the MODEM. I know it is part of the kernel but there are many of them and they are use like driver for the 3G network or something like that?

Second : You say that KG3 works best for you but I don't find it in the karmatose folder!

Third : Nowhere it is said to put the modem file anywhere...

Another thing : I have to follow the instructions of SlimBean to install SlimBean 2.8. On the website, because I start from GB, it says to install CM9 or CM10 before installing SlimBean... What do you think about that?

Thanks for your help!!!

yaaa4

---------- Post added at 08:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:38 PM ----------

Hi guys, i decided to give a try

I flash the Semaphore kernel for JB with SlimBean 2.8. I have wipe the cache partition and clear the davik cache. But when I try to install the slimbean, it says : assert faild : run_program ("/tmp/updater.sh") == 0 Error in /emmc/slim-I9000-2.8.0-offficial.zip (status 7).

I checked for the status 7 on the forum and it says that my model number does not fit the rom....

What should I do?

And sorry for the pooooor english. I'm a frog (Quebec).

yaaa4
[Fascinate General] jonnyb16:
the modem, noted on your phone as baseband, is the software your phone uses to access the network, if you cant find it on Karma's site check out the perkas filestash app, i cant remember the exact path to where the modems are kept but just make sure you are in the folder that says 850 enabled cm modems. The modems are zip files that you will flash in CWM. Just select install zip from sdcard and navigate to where you have the modem.zip saved and flash.

With the status 7, I believe you just need to flash 3 times in order for the partition layout change to complete.
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
Thanks! Il try it tomorrow!
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
My baseband modem is T959TLKG2. LKG2 is not available in the folder. Wich one should I use?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
I would try KG3 as that works well, but you might want to try a few to see what works best for you. Any of the modems here would be good:

http://karmatose.org/t959d/modems/ics_modems/850_enabled/

Recognize Karma for storing the modems for us!
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
For sure I'll thanks him!!! And you too haha!

Just to be sure, why there are modem for ICS and for JB? It's not a problem to install KG3 modem (in the ICS folder) even if I install slimbean?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Not at all. ICS works on JB.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
The only difference between a Gingebread and a Jellybean modem is the way they're packaged for different versions of CWM.
[Fascinate General] Edgeman16:
Has anyone else noticed that their softkeys will be lit up randomly when the phone is just sitting on the desk, for example?

Since the 2.8 upgrade mine have been. They are off right now but if I look at my phone in a few minutes they will probably be on again for no apparent reason.
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
BLN? See if it's enabled.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
It is BLN - seems to be working now where before it wasn't - so the keys lighting up are to tell you that you have a notification. I have to see if that can be tweaked to a level of detail that makes sense.

Also, so some general notes on 2.8 from my perspective:

- Somebody noted that there was weird behaviour after a text, but flashing 2.4.4 directly corrected it. I haven't done that, but something to keep in mind.

- The BLN is a bit annoying.

- Lockscreen image moved up - so lower unlocks can be accessed.

- They put a new I9000 version up to deal with a bug I didn't see - but I reflashed anyways along with (1) new AIO, (2) original lockscreen image and (3) super launcher.

- the dual panel is quite kewl, but not so much on our screen size LOL.

Just general notes - another awesome release though.
[Fascinate General] Edgeman16:
Thanks karma and jpm, that's a feature I hadn't seen before.

Another question : how do I get the text below to show the correct model when using the xda app? Is that just build.prop and I forgot to change it this update?
[Fascinate General] jonnyb16:
yup, grab the build.prop editor off play, just look though for places that say i9000 and replace. There is one line that says something along the lines of updateme version-i9000 or something like that. I left that because I believe its tied to when updateme will let you know of a new version.

oh and you can also change your locale to CA
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
I'm so a noob. When I install Semaphore 2.1 to install the rom, I don't have to repartition the phone with the PIT file. But, Jonnyb16 told me to flash 3 times in order to change and complete the partition layout...

What do I do wrong?

I also tried to manualy mount /system like said in other post and I got an error : error mounting /system
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
maybe try slimbean 2.6 first - I think its hard to go directly to 2.8 from GB.
[Fascinate General] nereis:
Try flashing Semaphore 2.4.4 JB in CWM, goto Advanced, reboot to recovery then flash latest Slim Bean. I recall seeing someone recommend flashing cm10 to change partition layout before slim bean, that might be another route.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
also, when you install semaphore to load the rom, you need to reboot into recovery and flash through CWM. Johnny's instructions were for CWM and not Odin.
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
Yess i flash the rom with CWM but to install the semaphore kernel i have to flash with odin... right?

I wanted to try cm10 but i don't know wich rom to download on thier website. They're not indicated clearly (i9000)....

I'll try the slimbean 2.6.. if i found the instructions on their site!
[Fascinate General] nereis:
There are CWM flashable zip versions of Semaphore available, you can flash these just wipe cache & dalvik.
[Fascinate General] jonnyb16:
the cm10 files your looking for is called galaxysmtd. yeah now that I think about it I dont think they recommend flashing to 2.7 and above directly from GB. Like jp says go for 2.6 first, then you should be able to jump to 2.8 from there.

Also the last time I full wiped my phone I was not able to flash directly to 2.6 from GB. Not sure if i was doing something wrong but I just flashed one of the cm10 nightlies then went to slim no problems.

the flash three times thing will come into play when you go from 2.6 to 2.8. Im trying to remember the messages it gives you each time you flash... one of them warns you of the partition layout change, one of them warns you you will lose all data due to partition layout change, something like that at least. I wasent really paying attention to what it said because I was expecting to flash three times heh.

This partition layout change and not being able to go directly to the latest version is making things a little tricky for people to say the least.

I wonder what the difference is between cm10 and slim in that I can flash cm10 from GB and not slimbean.

dont worry, just keep trying, these phones seem to be indestructible hehe, ive screwed mine up so many times I cant count them all. Got lots of helpful people in this thread.
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
hi guys!

I finally succeed to flash to slimbean 2.8!!! 2.4.4s semaphore kernel.

I flashed to 2.6 first and then to 2.8. Thanks for all your support!

BUT!

The slimbean is very slim! I can't get my external sd card to be seem by the phone! any idea?

---------- Post added at 09:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:56 PM ----------

I found that some soft can access my external sd (music player) but not es file explorer or file manager...

---------- Post added at 09:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:13 PM ----------

Aaaaa i found it in /mnt/emmc/. Is it possible to mont it at the same old place (sdcard/external_sd)?
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Damn, I really have to update my guide. Will do this tomorrow.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
... And battery saving options ;)
[Fascinate General] yaaa4:
Haha!! I mess the thread around!

Update your guide and, if you want, I'll tell you my comments for the part : start from scratch!
[Fascinate General] karmatose:
Haha! There's not much to my battery saving options.

Disable Google Now for starters. When you do that, Google Maps will still aggressively report your location thanks to a bug in JB (found it on a Nexus forum). So to fix this, disable location reporting in maps and under location services (Also, disable location & google search under Location services). Go back to home and then re-enable Location services in Settings (keep the search one disabled) and in maps itself. Google Maps went from eating 30% of my battery daily to not registering as using 1% of my battery (unless I'm actually using it) when I did this. Maybe 10 hours of battery life to closer to a day and a half.

Also, keep your screen under 1/4 brightness.
[Fascinate General] cobyman7035:
Thanks
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Giving that a whirl as well.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
So interesting, I decided to flash 2.4.4s explicitly but before that I downloaded BLN from the market - which showed that it was incompatible with my kernel (not supported even though we all know BLN is working). Flashed 2.4.4s explicitly - and BLN free from the market now works like a charm.

I know the ROM guys compiled semaphore from source, but might be worth flashing the kernel explicitly as there could be other subtle differences. I wasn't going to do it but then thought if Strats came out with 2.4.5 I'd flash it in a heartbeat - so figured I'd get the straight flashable version on my phone.

Just sharing...
[Fascinate General] MrAndroid12:
Does i9000's Slimbean 4.1.2 work with Telus fascinate 4g that has NO internal sd memory?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
What's the model number?
[Fascinate General] MrAndroid12:
SHG-t959p thanks
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
That's different than the T959D - so don't recommend trying the I9000.
[Fascinate General] Ragn:
ah ok. I'll be trying to put a different rom on my phone tomorrow evening.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Fun. So do some research but we have pretty good steps on ICS ROMs here - WEUI might be fun as the MIUI UI is so different and you'll get ICS too. I'm currently using Onecosmic though.

If you want a Samsung like experience, then DarkyROM is the way to go.

After that we can help with kernels and modems :)

</not an iPhone>
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
Been on OneCosmic's ICS for about a week now and loving it. Freakin awesome. I've been using Darky's for some time now and made the leap. This i think runs smoother then Darky's.

Thanks for the tutorial at the beginning of getting the Telus carrier code showing up correctly :):)

Also, I've got the stock Froyo files sitting at home, has anyone got those laying around or would anyone need them uploaded to the main post?
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Awesome! I'm the same. Loved Darky's but icssgs seems smoother. Dying to try WEUI but right now no time :)

I believe I have all the froyo files linked up but let me know if I'm missing anything.

</not an iPhone>
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Well I was looking around and found that WIFI is what seems to break deep idle. I did not discover this I read it on the inter web so props to the original founder.

Turning deep idle one with wifi enabled will cause sod and you will need to reboot the phone to get it back.

Turn off wifi and enable deep idle and the phone will wake as normal.

I have tried it and so far it is working. I also did a fix permissions from CWM so might want to do that too.

Testing continues I will see in the morning if my phone turns on :)
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Confirmed. Leave wifi off and enable deep idle and no more sod.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
So is that turning off wifi when you enable it and then turning it back on?

Also are you using nstools or just the semaphore management app?

</not an iPhone>
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Wifi cannot be on if deep idle is on. If you leave wifi on do not enable deep idle. I am using nstools.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
Gotcha

</not an iPhone>
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
How is it that I can get the Telus Gingerbread modem working? When I attempt to flash it I get an error(0) when flashing it.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
What rom and what modem?
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
Its OneCosmic's ICS 4.0.3 RC 4.2 with Glitch v14 Build 3 as a kernel. And the Modem is the stock Telus GB one that I want to flash. Its T959D KG2.
[Fascinate General] bucknetbucky:
Where did you get the modem from?
[Fascinate General] cash2387:
I've had it kicking around since I was on Darky's ROM. I haven't tried the Modem attached in this thread yet tho because it looks to be the same file. However the one attached to the thread is a TAR file. My one is a ZIP, which I've always been able to flash that one with Darky's not a problem.
[Fascinate General] jpmccarthy:
You need an ICS MODEM. check my posts on modems on the front Page - JL2 is great.

</not an iPhone>
