Hmm. I don't think that's the case. I only have 20 apps loaded up. No music, etc.

I'll try a fresh install and slowly add apps.

Edit - Lockscreen behavior still present after system format and install. I'm fairly confident that this issue will resolve when lockscreen flicker issue is dealt with.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Hey guys, all was great, but just realised my battery isn't charging when not using wall plug. Using the car adaptor tonight and no luck? Never had this issue before. Plug and cord are fine, am I missing something? Tried changing to devil also, no go. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Odd I charge my i897 almost exclusively on my laptop. Dirty flash again please and let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Is it just not showing the charge animation in the status bar and/or lock screen? When its plugged in have you checked under the battery tab in settings to see if it says its charging?

I ask these questions because I have a wall charger that when I use it doesn't trigger the animations bit it shows to be charging in settings. And it does in fact charge the phone. And its not exclusive to one ROM. I can use my wall charger at work and USB cable on my PC and it shows the animations regardless of what ROM I'm on.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Wow! First I heard of this! You nailed it. I even checked the lock screen and it didn't say charging. But you're right, under battery it is saying "charging". First I've had that issue. None of the charging animations show charging. How about you prbass? Should I dirty flash or is this normal for slim?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Nope hasn't happen to me nor have I seen someone else on other 2 devices, however I suspected it was a visual bug so a dirty flash probably fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
For me it doesn't matter what ROM I'm on. With the one particular charger it has done this to me on every ROM I've ever installed so flashing again may not help at all.

Edit: I have to assume there's some voltage issue with my charger and it seems your car charger that is causing the phone to not completely recognize its charging. At least thats the only thing I can think of.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Bah, dirty flashing didn't help. No biggie, still loving this rom. Thanks for the quick responses.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
That happened to me on 2.3. Went away. Are you using a theme? I'm using Cobalt Red. Updating to 2.4 fixed it. Battery was charging on the down low. :D
[Captivate Android Development] scythekain:
I don't know if you've tried this ROM yet, but from my experience this is the FASTEST JB ROM. All of them are getting the lag fixed.

The latest CM10 nightly (09-13-2012) was snappy, but not Slimbean fast.

there's also LANIGHT which was almost as snappy as Slimbean. Honestly this is _easily_ the fastest ROM I've used on this phone. From GB - ICS - JB. I also like the default DPI.

Stability is subjective. It depends on what apps you are running and what your doing on phone. In my experience, almost all of the custom ROM's have been more stable than the stock froyo.

The only thing I'd tell you to watch for is make sure you have a backup IMEI. Mine went on the fritz again today, not sure if it happened when I flashed it last night I thought I checked before sticking my SIM card in, but today I rebooted and a message came up telling me my IMEI was corrupt. Immediately powered off and removed SIM and restored IMEI.

That's my ONLY bad experience with this incredible ROM.

3g connection drains my battery fast like hell!
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
The difference between iPhone and Samsung smartphone charging is that Samsung normally switches into "fast charge" (Charging AC) when it sees the data pins shorted. It is not a function of how much mA the charger is. Some of the new Roms can do this to "normal /iphone" chargers.

Random much? Also Charger does matter :p
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Wtf?
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Ill second these comments. Out of the box its fast, a few tiny tweaks and it is smoking fast with all day battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
Loss IMEI? So the www.slimroms.net should revise the Installation guide? :D
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
No because the IMEI problem happens on any JB/ICS rom regardless. We assume you've done your reading ;)
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
I still got camera/gallery problem in v2.4.0 (fresh installation). Could I flash the fix for 2.3 to solve?
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
I got an IMEI problem, but I already had a copy of the EFS folder, so I used root explorer and replaced the new one with my old backup and now my Invalid IMEI problem is gone.

Please make sure to take a backup of your efs folder which is located at the '/' before trying any new roms.
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
Screen is off -> Press Volume button/Power button -> Screen turns on then off -> Press Volume button/Power button again -> No response -> Try several times pressing Volume button/Power button again -> OK!

Could any one explain why? Settings are at default and no Deep Idle enabled!
[Captivate Android Development] 305Freak:
I have a couple of suggestions to avoid all this. Both involve always replacing the EFS after a flash before you install the SIM card. One way, obviously, is to keep a copy of your EFS folder and then replace the folder after you flash! Use can use software such as Root Explorer as suggested by most.

Or, and this is what I do,

If you are certain you currently have a correct IMEI, go to the Play Store and download the free version of Galaxy S Unlock. Open the app, go to the second tab and choose the second option which is to save the efs folder. Before flashing, back up the app with Titanium Backup along with your other apps and remove the SIM card. After flashing, re-install Titanium Backup then restore Galaxy S Unlock. ALWAYS restore saved EFS folder, the last option under the same tab in the app, before inserting the SIM card.

Since ROMs don't usually come with Titanium Backup installed anymore, a couple of ways to do this is if you have a WiFi connection then download Titanium backup or have the apk for Titanium Backup handy on the SD card. You only have to do the backup the first time and then just restore EFS after flashing any JB ROM. Happy flashing!

P.S. I read somewhere in the past that Titanium Backup picked up a change in the EFS folder and gave the option to correct it but this has not been my experience.

I hope this helps some folks.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Make sure you don't have bigmem turned on. No 2.3fix won't solve anything.

Replace EFS rebot recovery fix permissions and reboot. Should be fine now.

Working fine for me. Its either lag or app because I'm running close to bone stock (only added like 5 apps) works fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
Request that a brightness bar be added like some of the other Roms have.

Also, I am not sure the Fast Charge is working, although I have it enabled in two places. With a 2100mA USB Car Charger (std. Design, not Samsung) it comes up Charging USB.

Note: I will be testing (for a manufacturer) both AC & Car USB Dual port chargers (2100mA min) . Supposedly, one port is iPad and the other is Samsung.

While it's not a visible slider, there is the option to change brightness by swiping the status bar.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Fast charge is for Computer USB charging.
[Captivate Android Development] pironic:
So I've tried all of the JB releases for i897 and found that my hardware search button isn't functional. Just thought it wise to report it...

i also currently have an issue with battery power, but im doing more investigation before officially reporting anything (so no need to address it yet)
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
I was getting tied of the quickly recurring "low space" messages in Slim ICS 4.2 so I flashed Slim Bean on Saturday for the first time. I did a full Odin to stock GB and followed instructions on Slim site with no issues (other than the noted first flash SB getting hung and had to do battery pull to reflash SB from CWM).

I did have one issue last night where the power button would not show unlock screen and I had to do a battery pull. Is anyone else noticing the same?

Also, I tried Google Now search for Slim ICS 4.2 but eventually removed because it wasn't fully implemented for ICS (but was very close). I didn't install Google Now as an extra on Slim Bean initially but did last night because I wanted to try it out in a "full JB ROM". I do like it but noticed my battery usage this morning seems to be a bit more -- about 20% used in 4 hours -- just sitting on my desk with no interaction. I noticed GN alerted me to my "drive time" to work in a card this morning (freaky how it knows that) and I am getting other cards for baseball teams as well. Is ~10% battery usage every two hours about normal? I know this battery usage could be from any number of apps, I was just wondering if GN is known to increase it a bit and if this drain percentage seems about the same as what others are seeing.

By the way, driving navigation with Google Navigation worked fantastic with "driving GPS." I haven't tried using "walking GPS" with MapMyRun just yet but hope to give it a try this week. Loving SB so far!

Is the email app (for hotmail etc, other than gmail) missing in this ROM?

I did not see the email app install after I flashed the rom, I tried to use the email extracted from CM10 but did not work.
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
This happened to me as well. I followed instructions on the site, CWM, factory reset, format /system, flashed device.zip and then the phone auto rebooted to a splash screen. I let it sit here for 2 mins just to make sure but then had to reboot to recovery (new recovery now) I then reflashed device.zip and common.zip and booted fine.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:

Its in one of the other zips. Extras or addons I believe.

Its a kernel thing. Remember if your coming from ICS your partition is different than what you are going to use in JB. Same thing applies when flashing from Samsung partition to MTD.

[Captivate Android Development] musicdjm:
i didnt have any issues, i would download a root checker app if your unsure, but it might have just been that the request for permission from TIBu was granted, if you open the SU app click in on TIbu it well tell you weather it granted or denied permission to the app

[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
Makes perfect sense just caught me off guard, just wanted it out here for anyone who reads the thread so they don't freak out when/if it happens to them.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
While I was out yesterday I did not see the H so I did a speed test and I got ~3.5mbs down (normal for me) and ~300-400kbs up which leads me to believe that HSUPA isn't. No clue as to why however Krarvind is out for a while so nothing to do until he gets back. If you want to test with one of Der Teufel's kernels or different modem let me know.
[Captivate Android Development] CheesyNutz:
want to try this one but no datadata has me worried
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If it lags you can flash one of DerTeufel's kernels that use /datadata parition. To my understanding the ramdisk should create the partition with the symlinks and what not. Mind you you should clear data before flashing it to make sure it all works as expected. Let me know the outcome if you do decide to do it.
[Captivate Android Development] dave71670:
Is anyone else having problems with dev host on the slim site? 1.0 downloaded but common, extras, and google now add ons take a long time to start and eventually fail.

[Captivate Android Development] sinizter:
Coming from V6 JB posted by Sliceruk, I found the UI of SlimBean to be pretty sluggish and unresponsive. Followed all instructions, and everything seemed to work perfectly. Flashed JB Devil (1.03b) to see if it was /datadata that was causing the lag, but to the same result.

People have been reporting this ROM as buttery smooth, where if that were the case for me I wouldn't have had to revert back to Milestone 6. I'm looking forward to future updates to this ROM (with more ASS features), and will try again in the coming weeks.

EDIT: Just read that the JB version of Devil was specifically lacking datadata. I suppose this means I am to flash the ICS kernel in order to restore it. Tempting...
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Do not use a ICS kernel. DerTeufels V6 kernels have /datadata

Side note: I added a Mirror link to Slimroms.com that links to Google Code. Still missing Toro and Maguro (Uploading as I type)
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
@PRBass

Just to be sure I am reading these instruction right so I don't screw my phone up like I always do: I flash JB/Comm with NO WIPING, then go into CWM do full wipe and then REFLASH JB/Comm and boot ?

■Download device_x.x.zip, Common_x,x.zip.

■Flash device file first then MUST flash common file or you will have no launcher, keyboard or root ( other zip files are optional)

■Enter CWM, wipe data, format system ( in mounts and storage)

■Flash Device_x.x.zip***, then Common_x.x.zip.

[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
If it is such a bother for you don't download it. Go somewhere else.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
First off Dude chill out. Second its not his ISP. I've suffered from slow dl speeds from the site few other people have (low almost none existent amount compared the massive amount of downloads). It is possible its ISP/"Server in the way" throttling your connection to slimroms. Hopefully by next release we are able to provide mirrors so be patient.
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Hmm, phone no longer connects to pc? Any one else?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:

[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Nope, it does recognize that its connected because its charging, but I dont get the "connect to PC" pop up in the notification bar
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
... Does the PC recognize it or not? If it doesn't its probably your Fast Charge. If it does then bad cable/connection or drivers
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Thx for the quick replies.. fast charge def isn't selected.. should I be using nexus drivers or reg cappy drivers?

Clarification: Phone will charge via usb, but won't connect to PC
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
That sounds like Fast charge enabled or wrong drivers. As for drivers I've used anything from regular i897 drivers, Nexus S, Gnex and now i747 lol. I believe the Gnex drivers I used where for something specific (adb? Don't remember).
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
I just did a fresh install of 2.4 so i can't imagine fast charge is set by default, but anywhoosle, def not a deal breaker. By doing a full wipe and fresh install, my available RAM dramatically improved so i'm thrilled. One last question, is bln baked in or do i need a neldors app? I think i saw something about it in the thread previously, but i've read so many threads and flashed so many roms, they start to blend after a while. I apologize if that has already been addressed

[Captivate Android Development] bobo122:
before i flash JB , i tried some ICS roms, and slimICS was by far the best 1 .. when i wanted to flash JB i wanted to flash slimBean but i read that users were facing lags and it wasn't the smoothest rom, so i started looking for other roms and i found out that most of JB roms have no datadata parition and its resulting in slowing the rom, and i found out that helly bean by DerTeufel1980 does have datadata partition and its smooth and fast rom , so i flashed it .. yesterday i came in this post (i checked it several times after i flashed helly bean , even though i like helly bean, hopping to read that slimbean became smooth) and read that its the fastest JB rom around .. does it have datadata partition now or what? is there anyone who tried helly bean AND slimbean and can confirm that?

thanks

[Captivate Android Development] brttwilliams:
I'm with you, I tried Helly Bean for a short while as the first version of Slim Bean was being worked on. At first the missing /datadata threw me off, but the lack of it didn't cause lag, it just made me use my SD more. I've used all of the Slim builds since 4.1, and before that ran the ICSSGS build, this one has more bang for bang for your buck

None working Search button is known issue. Honestly don't know if its kernel or not (doubt it is) just flash another JB rom with and without Semaphore or flash another kernel to slim and see. We aren't really paying much attention to that issue to be honest.

Its not kernel. Just me being stupid. Will be fixed for 2.5
