My notes after 2 days of using 2.1 :

- No lags, everything is smooth. Those that are having lags : did you format /system (like I do) before upgrading to 2.1?

- I had just 1 random reboot so far, it might be related to "deep idle" setting I use on Semaphore.

- Inability to 3G/2G toggle problem reappeared :( It works at first, when freshly rebooted, however does not work after some time. I did not have time to investigate, just live with it.

- When plugging headphone, it normally goes to Vibrate mode, when immediately unplugged, it returns to normal (vibrate-off). However, I find my phone on Vibrate mode after listening to music some time then unplugging headphone, don't know why, exactly what conditions cause this. I've tried screen-off-on while unplugging, but this problem did not appear. Again, I just live with it.

2.1 is so smooth I can live with all minor problems I have.

Thanks again krarvind.

Recently upgraded from SlimICS to SlimBean 2.1.

Like other users I experience a smooth system at first and lots of lagging after using different apps. I also notice I have less RAM free than on ICS. Can it be that, as I open one app, it needs to close another to free up RAM causing lag because some programs instantly re-open (like ADW launcher or Widgetlocker).

Is there a way to get more memory (besides stop using apps)?

Another problem I have been having (also under SlimICS) is after a few hours of using Wi-Fi, switching back to 3g causes no internet. I tried switching data on/off and flightmode on/off, but only a reboot will fix 3g internet.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] nevzat74:
I have more than enough free RAM thanks to 2.1 and latest Semaphore. I see 200+ MB free RAM sometimes! great value!

I used to have RAM problems, but I did the following, which really helped a lot!

* I've switched from Go Launcher to Holo Launcher HD

* I've switched from Go Contacts and Go SMS to Contapps. It has minimal memory footprint. exContacts is another fav. of mine.

Go products used to be best, but all of their products are now memory hogs. Use alternatives.

* Stopped using Facebook app, I'm using it under browser interface, much faster, also when you exit from browser, no left-overs, no background services.

* Stopped using Google+ sync and its contact integration. I had 3500+ contacts before, and my contacts app was using at least 18+ MB, even I use the lightest contact app. Its because all the contacts db was kept on the RAM. After I stopped G+ contacts sync, I've safely deleted all my G+ contacts, now I only have 400+ contacts, my real contacts. RAM usage decreased to 5+ MB!

* Freezed some apps which insist having costly background services, many Google apps do this unfortunately, like Maps,Goggles, which I rarely use.

For a smoother experience, don't forget to set sd card read ahead cache to 1 MB (default:128 KB)

Semaphore config. app ->"Addon Tweaks" section -> "SD-card read ahead" to [1024kB-64kB]

I hope this would be useful for those having less than 100 MB free RAM space.

Tool for IMEI Backup (Windows)

I've just found an excellent utility for backing up / restoring your IMEI (/efs partition) for Samsung phones and tablets.

Make sure you use this at least once before attempting to upgrade your ROMs.

Krarvind, you can also mention this utility at your installation instructions, where you warn us about lost IMEI case.

For your silent when plug in headphone go to ASS/ sound/ Headphone plug in action and verify your settings there

Jelly Bean will always consume more ram because of its V Sync and triple buffering. The only lag I occasionally get is with system related apps and give it a min and it goes away or reboots. Otherwise might be something on your end.

Inverted apps modifies framework and could cause issues. Not saying it is just stating the possibility.

It's set to Vibrate. So, I expect to turn off this setting after unplugging Headphone, however this is not always the case.

I'm not complaining (I love Slim-works of Krarvind) but for me SlimBean is too unstable. Lots of lags that I didn't have on SlimICS so I'm downgrading. (First making a backup of my internal SD-card.)

It probably has to do with the huge collection of apps I like to have. :p

Invalid IMEI

I just installed Slimbeam 2.1 (coming from slimICS) and got a error message about "invalid IMEI number". What do I do now? How would I know correct IMEI number and update it? Any advice appreviated, thanks. I'm on Bell Canada.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] derboedi:
Best thing to do is to copy an older version of your /efs folder into your SlimBean. Maybe you have a nandroid backup? You'll find the efs folder in there.

Cant' reflash

OK, now it's serious! I tried to change DPI as instructed (Use build.prop Editor and change ro.sf.lcd_density) - so I opened the editor and it was empty, I added this key manually and after thatn got a bootloop. When I reboot to CWM when I try to reflash slimICS or slimbean - I get an error: assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device" etc.... "Error in /sdcard/I9000.zip (Status 7)

This is definitely the fastest / most fluid JB rom so far, however I have been getting random soft reboots quite often (not experienced them with other roms). Yes, I've done full wipes / system formats e.t.c.

Once this is fixed it will be a keeper!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dastinger:
I was wondering about that too lol.

Did you close KIES before starting ODIN and connecting the phone? Check the processes running and make sure KIES is not there.

Had some soft reboots today as well. I think that most of them were because of the landscape mode thingy but another one was random. The phone froze and it rebooted after a while. Anyway, this rom is so awesome that I'm willing to keep it as long as the soft reboots don't happen that often.

Inverted apps not syncing calendar

I have flashed the latest Slimbean 2.1 version. Very smooth so far.

I have one issue. I flashed Mnazim's latest 2.1 inverted slim gapps. It looks awesome now. But, after flashing it, I cannot see the calendar option in the Google sync screen. This option was appearing before when I flashed the common file which is part of Slimbean 2.1. My calendar is also not syncing.

I am aware this is an unsupported mod from Karvind's end. Can Mnazim help? Any other user facing this issue? It has happened twice so far, so I can confirm it is an issue.:confused:

Fastastic rom, nice job!

The lack of the /datadata partition is imperceptible, apps load and switch fast. Also, despite the RAM being most of the time at 50-60MB, the rom runs smooth with really tiny hiccups, just fastastic for an Alpha!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] scuba156:
stock rom is suppose to recreate the correct EFS folder structure and restore your imei. I believe it only does it though if you have a valid nvdata.bin.bak. I've never been able to fix my imei, which I've got no backup for.

I didn't have an issue with APN's, my data was already working, i didn't check if the correct APN was there though.

Someone plz tell me if everyone has huge system partition (1.9gb) n tiny data partition (445mb :( )...

I don't see the point behind such huge /system partition..

one way I see around this issue is moving apps to sd, but that's definitely gonna slow down all apps x_x..

should I reflash if I'm the only one with such weird partitions??

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
Still don't get why people are calling a 422MB /data tiny as before we only had 133MB in /datadata,,, which got filed a lot more often, gave a "fake" low space and was harder to fix. Now just move to SD and profit. Hell there are apps in the market that do that if you don't want to go one by one. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] mnazim:
I use these files personally on my daily driver SGS and only post them after testing.. I confirm I do not have that issue.! :p
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jay_ingale:
Well, no offense but back in day of 180mb /datadata a single datafix zip solved everything and we could still use 1.9gb /data..

moving apps to sd wastes 2gb of memory resource, plus apps tend to get slower when moved to sd..

I still don't see the point behind 1.9gb /system cuz on slim roms we have slim system apps ~150mb..

And so much for /system is really waste as it will be never used..

I'm not complaining, but just trying to know why so huge memory allotment for /system?? :confused:

Is there any way to swap sizes of /data and /system?

Sent from my Rolls-Royce.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] prbassplayer:
/datadata was reduced to 133MB on late ICS early JB. Apps will slow down just the same by moving to /system as its in the slow nand The point of the 2GB /system is simple 70% of the devices suffered from horrible lag because our slow NANDS are well crap and slower than others. Swapping /data with /system fixes this lag (kudos to pawitp). In theory its possible to just keep /data and system on slow NAND and give a split of the 2GB (600MB system and 1.4GB /data with a 400MB /datadata partition on fast NAND however this will make a special parition layout that no kernel dev will want to upkeep for just one rom and if you didn't notice we are using Semaphore or basic CM10 kernels. If you "swap" back you either get a ton of lag or are part of the minority that doesn't lag. So we are sticking with CM10 partition layout.

This isn't the first time I've explained this here even more on the i897 and T959 threads not to mention other people that have explained it. Its getting redundant explaining a CM10 feature on Slim Bean thread multiple times. So before complaining or asking here I suggest you search and read. ;)

Maybe I'm one of the lucky few who don't face lags on nand ..

Is there any way that I can get back to 1.9 gb /data??

--edit--

Also, if moving apps to SD will make them lag only "as much as" on the slow nand, why take the trouble to move them and waste 2gb of internal memory if its not gonna effect performance anyway??

observation :we need to keep 50mb free at least on /data for market updates to happen without showing insufficient storage message.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] pmos69:
- Because most apps will be on /data on the fast onenand and that really makes all the difference.

- Because app data and caches will still be on the fast onenand.

- Because when you use android's method of moving apps to SD, if will actually move them to the internal sdcard, which is on the same movinand chip as the old /data, just on a different partition

- because if really miss that extra 1,5G on the movinand, just get a class 10 external SD, which is just as fast, if not faster.

Yeah, I had the same issue. I was flashing the device zip, commons and inverted apps in that order. I tried to do that twice and each time there was not calendar sync.

I will keep it like that (non batman), but you might try flashing the extras, verifying that it works and then flashing the inverted.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] jay_ingale:
Actually dude, converting apps to system apps will just move the apk files to /system, while the cache files will still stay on /data..

As of now, moved all user apps to SD, no problem yet...

@krarvind, this ROM flies all the way!!

Great battery life, even without calibrating :respect:

Can mount external SD to PC again!!

All my games got tougher to play, since the lag has vanished!

Only, devils kernel isn't working, maybe because of new partition layout and updateme app wont show ROM version as 2.1, which I changed from buildprop editor, but still, no files for 2.1 are shown..
