Play Store acting up

I really dont know if this is related to my ROM, but I can't find a general issue anywhere about this.

I updated to 3.1, and then there was a Play Store update. I'm getting the "Incompatible with this version" error multiple times a day. My Density is 200, so its quite a chore to Clear the Play Store Data. I am hoping that someone will call out my n00b status and tell me about a trick to fool the store forever, or even just confirm its related to SlimBean 3.1 or not.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
Not completely understanding if you are a) getting an error when opening play store or b) when trying to install an app.

if a) reflash your rom with newest gapps package (format system before flashing) or try downloading multidpi market from extras

if b) go to slim settings, find density and do exactly what it says (INCLUDING SETTING DPI BACK TO STOCK 240 AND REBOOT before setting your value)

EDIT: Just to clarify: there is no playstore issue in slim bean 3.1, everything works fine out of the box.

If you changed your dpi settings or installed a different playstore and ran into problems try above steps to make it working again.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Davis4ever:
@superkoal

Sorry, I could have explained better. I will try again...

After clearing store data, launching Play Store, then accepting terms, I change density to 200 and reboot. I can access the Play Store, and download apps. If I leave the store, when I launch it again I am asked to accept the T&C's again, and I get the "Your device isn't compatible with this version"

So basically I now have to go through the process every time I want to go into the Play Store. Now that I think of it, this is the reason I decided to finally update from SlimBean 2.9 to 3.1 in the first place. It looks like the issue has followed me to the new version.

Update: The last time I got into the store I installed as many of my apps as I could, including Titanium Backup. This app gave me a warning about a "New Android ID" since I have recently wiped my device to update from SlimBean 2.9 to 3.1 so I set it to recover my old ID. I also changed kernel to Semaphore 2.6.5s and disabled DSP Manager, although I am thinking the Android ID has fixed it.

I am also running The Real Dark Slim AIO Package for dark theme including gapps. Before, I was getting the stock Play Store. Now I get the dark themed Store, and havent had any issues yet.

Anyone using Onavo Extend? I already enabled TUN in Semaphore Manager but it still wouldn't work, restarted and clearing cache, dalvik and everything. Saying TUN is not available on my system. I installed core 3.1 + slim apps + gapps3.1 update.

Onavo Extend is a nice service that compresses your traffic via VPN, much like opera mini but for all apps, saving you on mobile data. Yes, security is a concern but I don't use this phone for banking and other sensitive things.

or any option to display sim contacts only or phone contacts ony
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
Zram is not supported by semaphore kernel, there was a test version some time ago that did, if you really want you can try it (no guarantee that it was the same partition layout and won't brick your phone, you have to read yourself at the semaphore thread).

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:22 PM ----------

noone said you have to do a factory reset, just READ! :eek:

I wrote to format your system partition before reflashing the rom, which will not affect your user data and all in all takes about 3 minutes till everything's up again...

and btw the next update will probably require to do a full factory reset anyway.

no mobile network

Help! I was using a slimbean release from august on my galaxy s (i9000) till now. I downloaded the new release, went to cwm recovery to install (i wiped data and dalvik cache..etc) but it just got stuck on the semaphore start screen. wouldnt go beyond that. I hooked my phone up to Odin and reflashed stock firmware as provided (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583026) I used the voodoo method to root and then downloaded rom manager and flashed cwm. Anyway upon reinstalling the new version of slim bean the same thing happened again. Back to odin and I tried once more, it worked this time round but at the moment I have no mobile network.

Just get an error message whenever I try to even manually search for a mobile network as well. Wifi works and other feature are fine, but no network. If I try to reinstall I will probably get stuck on the start screen again. any advice.

I'm testing ZRAM and SWAP for two days now with semaphore2.5.0ts (needed only for swap, download only from semaphore forum here).

SWAP is the real deal but it crashes sometimes. :confused:

ZRAM seems to run stable with SlimBean3.1. You can activace ZRAM anytime (Android system menu: "Leistung" (?Performance?) > Kernel), but I guess it only works after reboot (no sure). It works within RAM so it has nothing to do with partition layout. You will not see any more RAM, but you will notice there is more RAM available (read article about ZRAM on Wikipedia for this). This is a standard Linux feature, which is only inherited by Android, and tricks with cached parts that standard Linux would use for disk swap. Of course compress/decompress will need some CPU power, so there might be some lags and a little more batterie drain, but if your phone is at its RAM limit nevertheless you will gladly accept this. In fact my SGS is a lot faster with ZRAM than without, because all of this process killing & reloading is not taking place.

Same here, was on 2.8 before and it was totally lagfree. Now on 3.1 I noticed some delays (using same amount of apps since several months). When I get a call it takes 3 seconds or more till I see the name according to the number. But overall it is the fastest rom out there, so I hope the next release will fix these little bugs :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] test123456789012:
Personally I think this ROM goes in the wrong direction. IMO it became more sluggish since 2.9 with every release. Oddly enough this hasn't got anything to do with the full language support introduced in 2.7.

The devs should stay focused on a small footprint and a responsive system. Else I will have to stay on 2.9 which isn't bad because it's that good.

Why is my last ~45mb is always free

I noticed that the last 45-50mb of my ram memory is not used at all. OS will force close apps instead of using the last 40mb of RAM.

Is that how the system is built?

Thanks,

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Starsream88:
Yes it's builted like this ! Default slim LMK value is 45Mb that's why your system force close apps when 45Mb free ram is reached ! And this is for the best of your phone, cause lower LMK = More lags and freeze :D

Its just flat out not supported on our phones guys.. You can import contacts but they can no longer be saved to the SIM card.

Do you use 10%, 18% or 265 zram?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hayabusa_XDA:
I'm on 18% (default), should be a good compromise.

I really needed some more RAM so 10% wasn't an option. With my actual load of apps / widgets 18% seems to be just fine so I haven't tried 26% yet. I would do so though before permanently running out of memory again. Interestingly before, with SWAP turned on (ZRAM off), system took up to 200MB swap space.

Now, with SWAP turned off, I'm running ZRAM now for about 1,5 days nonstop. That's of course not long enough to make a final decision but battery drain doesn't seem to be higher than usual, everything seems to run fine. For me it really makes a change for good.

I guess the use of ZRAM is quite special, there's a narrow margin when it could be useful.:

with only a few apps you will have enough RAM free so any trick of this kind will do no good. It will cost performance, batterie etc.

with (too) much apps / widgets for standard SGS ZRAM may not offer enough RAM so the only possibility would be swap

In fact for me swap was not running slower than zram, but swap made my phone crash at night during inactivity. Just asked at semaphore forum about this.

My personal favourite would be swap - you have much more RAM and multitasking was simply unbelievable.:cyclops: It will ruin your sd-card though for sure in the long run. Maybe your general Android / apps databases will be ruined too as you may notice sd-card (and thus mem corrucption) too late.:(

This will not happen with ZRAM, but memory expansion is limited.

So far, as I wasn't able to make swap work stabil at my first try, it seems I will stay with ZRAM.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] wogooo:
hmm..ive turned zram off now, and it seems more responsive and i have twice as much free ram..
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hayabusa_XDA:
Semaphore 2.5.0ts + swap

What are your experiences about long term stability in this combination?

I tried swap myself now - setup done not with your mentioned app but another one (swapper2) + manual sd-card partitioning as this is a Linux kernel feature - and it works really well. Unfortunately phones crashes at nights repeatedly (almost full battery completely drained in the morning). It doesn't crash at day time during inactivity even for hours, battery drain was unchanged so I'm out of ideas right now.

Are there any other (newer) version than 2.5.0ts with swap support or did you manage to try another kernel succesfully?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] superkoal:
No newer test versions of semaphore.

You can try devil kernel.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Hayabusa_XDA:
"free ram" = as shown by Android system?

You know that there is (almost) no "free" mem in Linux/Android but a reserve (mostly about 48MB) that is looked after by system's "low memory killer", which kills apps / processes according to a priority scheme. Any other part of ram that is not used for apps or system is used as cache. The only times you see free ram are (1) after boot if startups may not have reached mem limit yet or (2) temporarely when mem allocated by an app / process is just being freed.

If you're running out off mem you might notice this by

- RAM down and almost no more apps being hold in cache (i.e. no more RAM available for caching)

- or even worse when in list of active apps you see messages at an app like (translated by me) "0 prosesses, being restared" and nothing happens because system is out of RAM.

Hi, I've been running Slim Bean 3.1 with Semaphore 2.6.5s for a couple of days now. There were some freezes at the beginning, a few of which were caused by Bluetooth. Thereafter the phone has been working fine but for a perplexing battery drain. I'm including a screenshot here which shows the battery status 5 hours after getting off the charger. For the first 4:45 hours, the screen was OFF and the phone was not actively in use, just idling.

I'm just puzzled about Media draining the battery since nothing was playing and the screen was off for all that time.
