True, same problem, lol. Now after Googling the necessary info about the error 942, suggesting reflashing GApps.

Update: reflashing the standalone .zip of Gapps didn't affect anything related Google Play T_T Going to Google more.

Update #2: tried to install both stock .apk of Google Play ver. 3.9.16 & 3.8.17: still nothing changed =_=

Also, Play Store only lists 17 apps under "My Apps" tab, however, AppBrain app still shows the correct amount of 50 apps installed.

Requesting some support, please.
[Captivate Android Development] Arundroid:
I didn't back up EFS while I was on stock ROM temporarily while unbricking using ODIN. I now don't have any network access. I tried to flash i897 modem but that failed. Using ES explorer with root access I deleted the empty esf folder and pasted an older efs backup (not ideal since it used to give me a generic IMEI and warning on reboot. ... but better than no service.) Yet that failed as well.

I can go stock with ODIN after I save an image for 2.7 and flash it after efs backup from stock rom . Would I be able to go from Eclair 2.1 to slim 2.7 rom after I root without going through 2.6?

Is there any way I can save myself all the extra work and get network with current 2.7 and no functioning efs backup?

Thanks

I would also like to add that the hardware buttons haven't skitzed out on me yet. I also have the issue of the Google Play Store only showing 30 sum odd apps as being installed. Thought clearing the data might help but it didn't... Also getting the 942 error when trying to download a new app from the Play Store...

Looks to me like 4.1.2 might require a different apk then 4.1.1 and the 4.1.2 apk isn't available yet...
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
I had the same situation once, I ODINed to stock 2.3.5, then save a copy of the efs folder, then flashed the newer devil kernel and proceeded with the installation of slimROM. Then afterwards restored that copy back and now I back to my working IMEI number. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] hitechchef:
Check your apn settings. Also make sure you have disabled airplane mode.

Check with your service provider. Many providers block device access to network if they don't have a valid imei.
[Captivate Android Development] anusthegreat:
Correct, it doesn't help at all >_<

Slimroms.net says:

Gonna try the thing with another version of Semaphore now, going for a total wipe in case of fail.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Ok guys market had been iffy in general. New gapps and play store at slimroms.net. Go download and verify if marker problems stop or not. As for installation I've said in the past manually mount system.

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] SuperSync:
Re-download new gapps, wipe/reflash 2.6 then 2.7 then new gapps. Play Store still giving error 942 when I try to install the Semaphore Manager.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Just that app? It was giving me issues pre 2.7 not sure whats up with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
You know I just noticed something and I'm wondering (since it was mentioned somewhere else about it being a possible issue) the Model Number in the About Phone is slightly wrong. Our phones (well the US AT&T version anyways) are SGH-I897 correct? In about phone it's SHG-I897. Someone got a little dyslexic.
[Captivate Android Development] SuperSync:
Edited build.prop & changed all instances of SHG-I897 to SGH-I897...market still wonky on Semaphore Manager app. (error 942) Need a copy of this app, any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] anusthegreat:
Oh, well, it says

so after attempting to keep the ROM alive a few times playing with different kernels and play.store.apks I went for a full wipe as it says. The problem still remains, however, ROM's working brilliant.

Went looking for the Q&A section for slimbean but didn't find one so posting here. Downloaded the ROM no probs went to DL GAPPS and was prompted to log in. Looked for an area to set up account and didn't see where i could do so. Has slimbean moved to donate only? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I didn't have any issues downloading the gapps. Sure you clicked on the right download button?
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
I'm probably in the wrong area on the slim site. Addons --> official addon list-- GAPPS prompts log in

EDIT: used anusthegreats link to standalone gapps posted on previous page

EDITEDITEDIT: HMM.. This rom will not install. Keep getting status 0 error. Odined back to stock, same problem, tried mount/unmount system with same results. any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] galakanokis:
I do have issues on the Semaphore app but there are others, Viber, nstools, android weather to name a few. All worked on CM10.

Loving this ROM. Glad I stole the cappy back from my kid.
[Captivate Android Development] anusthegreat:
The link is fine, you just use the "Download" button, there's nothing about logging anywhere, lol.

According to our thread subject: didn't success reflashing, just totally rolled back to GB 2.3.5, going to install a custom CWM kernel, root my phone, apply CM9 and then Slim <3
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
UGH, forgot about cm9 flash, retrying
[Captivate Android Development] Arundroid:
I have Airplane mode disabled. I went back to install stock ROM, back up EFS using EFS pro (I made sure IMEI was correct along with network provider- Fido before doing the backup).

I installed Slim ROM, restored EFS but there is no network. Shows unknown phone number and IMEI, says radio off (??) under about phone.

What am I doing wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Ok guys sorry I'm late i897 device folder is fixes no more flashing problems (thanks to mnazim). As for the market problems its being worked on by other team members. I've had no time or problems on I747 to help the effort so I recommend you verify by re downloading gapps and Cheking it out.

Cheers
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
This ROM by default doesn't have a modem. Try flashing a modem and see if that helps.
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
UPDATE: Got slim working well without any markets issues so far. Here's what i did

odined back to GB and rooted (i was on monfro AOSP prior)

Flashed newest CM10 nightly

factory reset, wiped cache partition/dalvik

Flashed slim 2.7/slim GAPPS

IEMI borked - Had to restore my EFS folder (thankfully i saved it prior) using root explorer

PRofit

Only concern i have is available RAM only showed 112MB before i restored any of my user apps. This is generally a sign of problems with lag/instability from my experience. Restoring apps now, we'll see :good:
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
Just so you can keep track, I upgraded from 2.6 to 2.7. Received a status 7 errors. What worked for me was to set it for unmount/system... then flash 2.7. It looked like one of the first things the flash did was to mount/system, it worked. Loaded Slim Gapps, extra, everything went fine.

Booted, used Play Store restore TiBu, then used it to restore my apps. Re-entered all my personal & business email addresses. Play Store updated one item.

Only problem (continuing) is the check deposit part of the Chase Bank app.. Takes picture of front of check ok, but when I tell it to USE it. (guessing it means save) it throws me out of app before I get a chance to take a picture of the back of the check.

With new zip?
[Captivate Android Development] weirdg:
I tried flashing back to the latest CM10 nightly, and loaded GApps. Things looked good. I could even see Swiftkey in the Play store. Tried loading the latest Slim zip file right after doing a full wipe in CWM (factory, cache, davlik). Loaded the Slim GApps as well, but the Play store still gave me problems. Unable to see Swiftkey or SlideIT when I do a search. Seems like the Play store might be recognizing our devices as something other than an I897.

Is it possible that the SHG-I897 typo is causing problems somewhere else?

Just re-download the rom, and you'll have the new zip.

[Captivate Android Development] anusthegreat:
That's true: I rolled back to GB 2.3.5, fully wiped, i897UCKJ3 with boog_KJ3_kernel, flashed CM10 Nightly over it, works perfectly. After that, rebooted CWM, wiped everything once again, flashed Slim 2.7, then Gapps, didn't get any errors. It loaded up without problems, after adding my Google account I still can't download some software from the Market. It happens if the software doesn't show you the permissions it asks for usually. I tried installing both different versions of Multi DPI Play Store from UpdateMe, failed. Flashed Gapps separately after that - no change. I have also noticed, that if you check some app you need at web-market, it says, "This app is incompatible with your Samsung SGH-I897".
[Captivate Android Development] RashaMatt:
Successful flash from CM9, but my cappy was very laggy until I flashed Devil kernel (MUCH better now!)

Observations:

- clock minutes, as already noted

- poor GPS performance on my device - won't stay locked

- UI is smooth, but app loading seems quite slow, even with oc to 1200

- Nearly invisible black text on gray in "Add widget to homescreen" widget list (Holo launcher)

Nice job :) Thanks!

P.S. Why does every rom map the external sdcard to a different path!??
[Captivate Android Development] wwcjr91:
Lol this does get frustrating. It's not every ROM, but enough for it to make you wonder. My guess is that every developer has her/his preferences.
[Captivate Android Development] npt1988:
Can somebody please tell me which devil kernel I should flash to get datadata back? I flashed 1.03b but the room was still superlaggy. I also tried the ics kernel, but it got stuck at the kernel screen. I read that you have to flash the v6 kernel, but I don't know where to find it.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I believe V6 are the latest wiith /datadata partition. You can find all of DerTeufel's work at

What is best kernel for Slim Bean ?
[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
Just wanted to point out that Power button acts like a Back button. Soft keys aside, I find it kind of odd that the volume keys still work for up/down and only the power button has really changed.

Different people will say different kernels so I'd just give them all a try and stick with what works for you.

---------- Post added at 04:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------

Looks like DerTeufel has version 1.04 of his kernels up: http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/divers/104

He updated all of his kernels under that one folder so they're a little easier to find:

datadata

Jellybean (no datadata)

ICS

I'm sure he'll update his Devil thread when he gets a chance.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Smooth, however, google now constantly launches itself.

The lockscreen is off center.

Unable to select WIFI before setting up phone. (Tries to pull from 3g, (this is bad for flashaholics w/ low data)

Only touch clockwork? Terrible.

Thanks, but no thanks. I'll wait for Paranoid Android to finish up their JB build.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Constantly launches itself? :confused: Android set up does the same thing in ICS (use 3g if it can't find it use wifi). Off center lockscreen is in the bug list already. Only touch recovery terrible? Volume rockers work just the same only that where you used power button now you use home soft key.

I am running it. I am having trouble with my bluetooth though. I am about to initiate a search and look for a solution.
[Captivate Android Development] musicdjm:
One of the best parts of the Slim Bean rom is that the ability to resize notifications so u can read the whole SMS or email and decide weather its worth opening. Or with a 2 finger pull up or down you can change how much you see. Cm10 v5 didn't include this major reason I wanted JB over ICS the enhanced notifications. So that's again for another great Slim rom. :thumbup:
[Captivate Android Development] thunor:
Nope, pushed the swype.apk to system/app and libswypecore to system/lib (as usual), rebooted, and cleared dalvik/fixed permissions (just for good measure) and NOTHING! :( Didn't even show up as an option in language & Input. Oh well, I guess I'll try the one you're using.

[Captivate Android Development] thunor:
As of now my SlimBean experience (with the settings on my SIG below) has been quite good. Original laginess (w/o datadata) was lessened somewhat significantly after installing devil kernel w/ datadata. It almost totally dissapeared after configuring the kernel properly.

Thus far, still not as agile and smooth as Slim ICS but almost there and I get to enjoy all the benefits of the newer OS iteration (Loving fully functional Google Now!!!). So I'll keep SlimBean for now. Quite usable and stable enough for daily use so far. Will try further tweaking later to see if I can eke out more non-overclocked performance.

As a side note I highly recommend all to follow the "Information about scheduler and governor" link at the bottom of the Tools tab in Devil Kernel Config. It takes you to droidphile's great xda article on the subject. It helped me make a well informed choice on my kernel settings and I've only read it halfway so I still hope go learn much more.

Happy phone hacking all!!

One thing you can try is using ES File Explorer or Root Explorer (or another of your choice) is go to system/app/swype.apk and install it from there. Then reboot to recovery and fix permissions. It worked for me in another rom.
[Captivate Android Development] thunor:
This is true . They don't stick on reboot. I'd forgotten about the script. Thanks for reminding me. Sorry for the ommission. I'm guessing it has to be tweaked in a text editor, correct?

Upgraded from SlimICS 4.2 / Devil Kernel 1.0.3 to Slimbean 1.0, running Devil3_1.0.4_datadata_cappy_CFS_BLN_VC_20120727. During the initial install, phone rebooted and hung on the JB bootscreen. I suspect that will happen if you are running another kernel other than stock. Rebooted into CWM, reinstalled core and common zips, plus a few extras, and so far everything is running pretty ok. Had to install Devil3 datadata since stock kernel was running quite laggy. With the newest Devil kernel, still not as smooth compared to 4.2 slim, but usable. Phone still tends to lag / audio playback will stutter when opening certain apps, or when heavily multitasking, even after OCing to 1200. Also, issues with GPS dropping signal even when outside, and especially when receiving incoming calls.

Otherwise, I'm happy enough to keep Slimbeanv1.0 while waiting for v2.0, instead of going back to SlimICS 4.2. Thanks for bringing JB to us Slim fans.

I haven't had any issues with apps getting root (cep when I'm not paying attention and miss the prompt). Try clearing SuperSU's data and see if that helps.

Does anyone have a good efs backup they're willing to send me for testing purposes?

*edit*

Actually now that I think of it TiBu did give me a fit about my device not being rooted. I had to open SuperSU and delete the TiBu entry (which clearing SuperSU's data will do) and run TiBu again to get the prompt.

Yes, I ended up flashing modem and all is working good now. Was able to get my IMEI back as well after ES File Explorer copy/paste with root access.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
How so? Only issues I've had with Devil is the initial flashing, single reboot when booting after clearing the caches on the kernel logo, and maybe the having to login to my Google account twice. Other then that I haven't experienced any other possibly kernel related issues.
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:

Both Stratosk and Der Teufel make great kernels. However we use Semaphore because its, generally, easier to set up and get good performance from get go. Devil needs some playing with, but again both great kernels ;)

Strange. Guess my phone just loves Devil Kernel because this ROM flys with default settings no tweaking needed. Granted I did tweak it with a 1.4GHz OC and SmartAssV2 gov.

Look in to your I/O scheduler. Usually the culprit when reading or writing to SD card.

[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
Like prbassplayer said, both kernels are good, but unfortunately due to manufacturing kinks of the Cappy, each cappy operates slightly differently. Thus, each persons experience with the kernels are different. So cant blame the kernels :), Those DEVs are doing a great job.

Status 7 can be gotten around by changing the recovery... If he flashes Devil 1.6.1, advanced => reboot recovery, then flashed them ROM, it will flash... and I never said it was kernal related... I said change the recovery... and they easiest way to do that, is by changing the kernal...

After flashing fresh 2.7 from 2.3.5 then CM10, still got the market problems.

The previous version from OTA says "Device isn't compatible" for the most apps;

I managed to make it work: force Google Play to stop via app manager, wipe data for Google Play Store & Google Services Framework, delete your Google account, change LCD density to 240 under developer options, reboot.

Change the density to 190 after u success accessing the Store, reboot. It's still working fine for me. Hope it helps.
