It should say 2.2 and just above that where it says Slim Version it says Unknown (at least mine does). Are you sure you flashed 2.2? Coming from 2.1 you should have to only have to clear Cache Partition and Wipe Dalvic Cache. Flash Device Zip, Common Zip (in that order) then any extra or add on's that you would like to have. Below is the quote from the change log on Slim's website on how to install coming from 2.1 to 2.2

How to Install:

Download device.zip and common 2.2 .zip

Wipe cache/dalvik, Flash device FIRST, then common, then whatever extras/addons you need

If there are problems, repeat step 2 but with a full wipe and format /system. Enjoy!
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Yes. I missed that part. You are in 2.2 if you flashed 2.2 zip

Slider shortcuts not quite behaving

I loved the ICS Slim J so I decided to go to JB Slim.

2.2 is behaving very well...I am very pleased.

I need it email so I installed "Extras.zip".

Everything is behaving very good.

Now, on the JB Slim I can create Shortcuts for Lock screen for all my email accounts and save it, but the email short cuts are no show when I unlock the phone.

All other shortcuts are showing just fine.

Help!!!

Should I use a different email apk?

PS: Great ROM!!! - THANK YOU!!! -
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
Same here. Did a full wipe, formatted system, cleared caches and mine says 2.1 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
Confirmed! May be an error of build.prop!
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
i already answered that in previous page.
[Captivate Android Development] FNPonderous:
Wondering if there is a fix for this. My search button does not launch Google Now either, like it did in 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] OwenW71:
BLN

Since this ROM does not include BLN, I'm assuming that installing the app will prevent the BLN's from honoring my quiet hour settings.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I've used BLN and quite hours work just fine before.
[Captivate Android Development] grndnl:
in fact, the search button now does nothing. it would be cool to have it customizable in the menu under hardware keys. remapping it for recent apps is what i did on ICS, and it was great...

And also, hold back to kill, would be a great addition...

on a separate note, it would be great to have BLN integrated with the rom, especially because now I do not know how to make it blink....

Another feature that I miss is being able to put my phone on silence / loud by sliding the lockscreen. is that an option anymore? I couldn't find it..
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Ya it isn't working for what ever reason, pretty sure it was working on earlier beta builds. Will add to site in a bit
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
This is how the Nike+ app mapped my run, and lol. I ran on a track!

For the time being I'm going back to Slim ICS, since I had a great GPS reception on that ROM. I'm going to travel to Delaware for a month, and I need a totally reliable ROM, and Slim Rom have never failed me.

Are there any special considerations I should take when downgrading from JB to ICS?

you flashed gps fix patch? gps improved drastically with the patch i provided
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Just flashed tonight!! Over all first impressions are great. After i flashed without restoring apps, the ROM was lightning quick. After i loaded all my apps (40) and set up my homescreens and widgets, it's still running nice and stable. I'm kinda disappointed in the fact that i can't multitask between 3 apps without one of them having to refresh. I had only 3 apps open when i tested which were Google talk, stock browser loaded to a news article and the xda app. Couldn't switch back and forth between the 3 with out either the browser or xda reloading every single time. Guess I'm asking too much now of my cappy. Anyhow, other than not being able to multitask efficiently I've found no bugs.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Keep in mind JB uses more ram.
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
yep, time to turn the cappy into a music player and upgrade :)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I upgraded on Sat to a SGS 3. Got it running Slim already lmao.

Anybody else have Google Services taking up a big chunk of their battery stats? I'm seeing this and I find it really odd.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
Well, the last GPS fix I flashed was the 8 NTP GPS mod. I didn't see much improvement and the test that I did. However, I will flash the fix you provided for 2.2 and give it a shot tomorrow at the track. I'll keep you posted...

I don't use the compass too much or the GPS, but when I checked it, it is indeed broken on my device as well. I'll post back after flashing the fix posted.

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:31 PM ----------

This happens to me mostly when I haven't used the device all day. Also when I've set Gmail to auto-download attachments on wifi.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I narrowed down the problem. My RSS reader (Justreader) isn't playing nice. It was also messing with my data/wifi connection. It's too bad. I really like that reader.
[Captivate Android Development] whisky23:
Speaking of the broken GPS / compass, I just realized that the compass rotates in the opposite direction of the actual movement. In other words, if I turn clockwise while using Google Maps, it shows me doing a counter-clockwise turn on the map. Fixing this will probably go a long way towards fixing GPS tracking, which I wish was more reliable for tracking my runs. I have the 2.2 fixed applied as well. I didn't notice this before installing the fix, so I can't really say if this happened before the fix, or happened because of the fix.

The rom comes with Semaphore Kernel but it doesn't install the semaphore app, is there a problem if I install the app?
[Captivate Android Development] :
Does the devil kernel for CM10 work? The one without /datadata
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I haven't tried it but I assume so? Though the one with /datadata fixes lag with people with bad NANDs. I tried that one with the kernel before the one released.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Yeah I was using v6 for a day or two, but I always loved Slim.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
this is my compile of stratosks latest source and no modules, semaphore app
[Captivate Android Development] bumbernut:
I'm finding the UI a little sluggish. Anyone else ? Maybe a reflash ?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If you fully wiped and formated /system you shouldn't have to reflash (maybe not restore apps with data). It could be that your NAND is faulty in which case I would recommend flashing one of DerTeufels kernels that maintains the /datadata partition. Mind you that doing this you will loose space in /system (and possibly cache?).
[Captivate Android Development] ajizle123:
Bootlop

I am stuck in a bootloop after flashing device.x.x>common.x.x, ideas? Do i need to use Odin and go back to GB > CM10 > Slim again?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Odin one of DerTeufels JB kernels (.tar) and that should fix recovery. Then just reflash rom. I never got in a loop, did you factory reset and format /system before flashing?
[Captivate Android Development] wwcjr91:
I found that when I flashed the I897_1.0.zip it automatically rebooted (after a full wipe of course). I wasn't sure if it was supposed to automatically reboot like that, so I let it do it's thing. It didn't get past the stock "Android" boot animation, so I figured it was a bad flash (under five seconds like krarvind warned about). I pulled the battery, and booted into recovery, which was now semaphore(came from devil). I did a full wipe again, and flashed the I897 zip. This time it took, did not automatically reboot.Then I proceeded with the rest of the add-ons, rebooted, and it booted up nicely with the slim boot animation.

Maybe this is the same situation you were in? If you can get into recovery with the three button trick, you can try doing another wipe and then flashing again.
[Captivate Android Development] ajizle123:
Yea this is actually what happened. And I did what you did too but it would just be stuck in the boot animation for >15 minutes. I went back and formatted /system as prbassplayer suggested and reflashed everything and now it has booted! Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] ronet:
Hi, I really like your rom, its fast and stable. But lately I tried to flash to the latest version 2.2 from 2.0.1.

I did a nandroid backup, wiped cach and dalvik cach, installed i897.zip and then common and did a reboot.

apparently, it wiped my apps and user data but I didn't panic because I did a nandroid backup..

so I rebooted to recovery and tried to do advance restore to restore /data. but I got this error:

Cheking MD5 sums...

Restoring data...

E:format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on userdata

Error while formatting /data!

I tried to manually format the data but it didn't help. so I tried to do regular restore but I got this error

Cheking MD5 sums...

Erasing boot before restore...

Restoring boot image...

Restoring system...

E:format_volume: no MTD partition "/dev/block/mmcblk0p2"

Error while formatting /system!

the only way I can fully restore is when I do manual format to /system, /data, /cach, /boot

but that means that I can't update...

please help.. :)

Re: the issue I had with JustReader and Google Services.

I downloaded Newsrob and it exhibited the same behavior with Google Services. Something happened with the way RSS readers sync with 2.2. I didn't see this with 2.1.

I've been following Slim since 4.1 in ICS, the Google Now shortcut in 2.2 is to long press the menu button.... Unfortunately I got impatient with it and went back to 2.1.

Day two. Battery is incredible! Probably the best battery life of any ROM I've flashed to date after installing the same typical apps per ROM. The default browser is however up to the same shenanigans that the others are up to. Pic offered
[Captivate Android Development] OwenW71:
A few issues have popped up for me...

As bad as the compass was in all my ICS ROMs, it is totally borked with SlimBean. It is almost completely unresponsive. I can turn the phone all the way around with only minor wiggle from the magnetometer. No amount of figure-eights and waving about makes it any better. Navigation works only by inferring direction via GPS.

Bluetooth call quality is atrocious. The wierd part is, music over A2DP is just fine...in fact, better than average. Calls on bluetooth are scratchy, volume wanders a bit, and loud sounds go into clipping. I have tried both my Jabra Cruiser and my Plantronics Voyager Pro, and they sound equally bad.

Pulled my phone out of my pocket to answer a call, only to find the screen had gone so dark it was almost impossible to see indoors. I took the call without issue, but afterwards the screen would not turn on. Had to pull the battery to get it back, and it took several restarts to get things going normally again.

Still a great ROM, and it is staying as my daily driver for a bit longer. I can live without compass and I might try another modem or two to see if that helps the Bluetooth.

-----Update-----

I assume all I9000 modems are OK with SlimBean.

I dont think there's any visual indication, but it does work for me. Press the status bar and hold it until the notification bar *starts* to come down; if you don't move your finger, it will stop so that the date and time are visible. Now move your finger right or left to adjust brightness.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Don't know if this will help but I reloaded my rss reader and took a couple of logcats. As expected Google Service saw a big jump in activity and it affected my ability to connect to data/wifi with my other apps (browser, Play).

CMC = Cyanogenmod Color

VC = Voodoo Color

Thanks, which one you recommend?

Do I need to do something before flashing the Devil kernel?

I remember that on previous roms one should run some script before changing kernel.

Do you use Devil kernel?

You need to read before asking.

Just a quick ? though, since the files are named differently, is there a different install process than what's posted, or is it pretty much wipe/flash like always?

---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------

That's bad luck, but since Slim runs on the Semaphore kernel, it may not be the best idea to ask here.... I'm not trying to be mean, or be a pr1ck, but you could always send a message to any one of the dev's for the Devil kernel crew

No flashing the fix won't do anything except add another gallery that doesn't do anything for our devices. I can't test for that as I have no sim my device, and however it's responsive on my end.

Prbassplayer, if I'm not mistaken, he may be referencing a setting you can find in either the device setting section or in semaphore app. Then again, I may just not understand the question either....

And sorry for the lack of quote, I was using the app on my phone and I'm still working on getting my forum form down on it.... but a verification of my account could let me change the posts without having to wait 5 minutes....

[Captivate Android Development] whisky23:
Upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3. Initial install ran without a hitch - did a full wipe/format. Stock setup with Semaphore kernel was smooth, but while the GPS locked on well, the compass counter-rotation issue was still visible, especially when testing with GPS status. Installing Devil Kernel 1.4.1 pretty much fixed the compass issue, and everything looked to be pretty good. Unfortunately, a borked OC setting under Devil Kernel cause an endless series of boots, reboots and crashes, so I had nothing else to do but reinstall slimbean 2.3 and slim gapps to get back to the stock setup. Except...Devil Kernel didn't get replaced by Semaphore in the reinstall! Isn't the Semaphore kernel part of the slimbean 2.3 install? In any case, Devil Kernel 1.4.1 refused to uninstall itself until I managed to load Semaphore 2.0.6sc onto the sdcard and installed it directly. Now, all I gotta do is to redo the work of the past few hours.

Other than the issues with the kernels, 2.3 looks pretty smooth and stable. Would like to see the compass issues fixed on Semaphore though, since I do prefer semaphore's simplicity over devil3.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I think I might know why. However I'm not home nor do I have my i897 with me. Just flash semaphore and be the same.
