Thanks..

Finally made the switch from SlimICS 4.2 to Slim Bean

Finally made the switch from SlimICS 4.2 (with Devil 0.79 kernel) to Slim Bean 2.3 today. 4.2 was running so great I've been afraid to try it before now. I followed the directions... wiped cache & dalvik, also did the full wipe and format system, then device zip and slim gapps. The only snag I ran into was after installing the device zip and slim gapps and rebooting the phone, it stuck on the AT&T screen. Pulled battery, did 3 button to enter recovery, saw that I still had Devil CWM, and reflashed. Same problem. Since I had also thought about trying RemICS-JB (in case Slim Bean didn't work), I decided to flash it. Once it started the install and quick rebooted I saw that it was in Semaphore CWM, so at that point I tried reflashing Slim Bean again. This time the flash worked and the phone rebooted past the AT&T screen and everything has been working great so far.

Just wanted to give my experience in case anyone else might benefit in how I got past the stuck AT&T screen. Am sure there are other and better ways to do it but this worked for me.

Thanks to the developers for another great ROM! I look forward to using this for a long time.
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
The battery drains like hell in SlimBean 2.3.0 (default kernel setting). Anyone shares this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Means synced to Google.

I still haven't had time to address that. I think update script is missing the kernel write and delete commands.

Give it a day or 2
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
2.3 solid as hell so far with Semaphore kernel! Great job. Thanks devs for the hard work! :D
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
Thks.

My device also suddenly turns off itself and I have to pull out the battery to save it from sleep!
[Captivate Android Development] embedded123:
Did you manage to save photos to external SD?

I'm missing this option is camera settings.

10x for the hard effort.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
When you say it turns it's self off do you mean while using an app or sending a message? Or like if you let the screen time out and it sits for a bit you can't "wake" it up without pulling the battery and rebooting? If the first is a yes then prbassplayer will probably have to field that one. If yes on the second question then did you turn on deep idle in the kernel settings? If you did then go back in and turn them off and see if that doesn't fix things.
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
The most recent time was while I'm using FB!

Thks for your feedback! :)

You should see the FAQ here: slimroms.net
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Have you done any overclocking through the kernel? My phone has a tendency to act up when I try to overclock it. Depending on the rom the reboots will start immediately after I OC or sometimes it will work well for a while then start freaking out.
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
I know the risk of instability of OC! All kernel related settings was set to default and Deep Idle is disabled!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Don't know I'm not exactly using my i897, however it's been constantly on I haven't had a single Sod or reboot. But like I said I've only added like 5 apps ands its rarely being used.
[Captivate Android Development] baconatorXVI:
Hey all I've moved on to the S3 but i must chime in on this issue... my i897 has been running a fast and very stable 1.428ghz for weeks now. You can overclock to almost any frequency, you just have to increase the voltages as necessary. You also have to deal with the excess heat. I never have any crashes or reboots with it.

Just so you know stable OC ing is very do able.

If anybody wants i can post my NStools settings file, although my captivate is still on slim ics 4.2(due to really bad datadata lag) but the settings file should still work.

I'm just too fond of the captivate and captivate problems
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
I've done a fresh install and I will see how my device perform!

BTW, how can I use KK4 BB for example with this great ROM? The current BB (I9000UKG3) may be not so good! It is difficult and very slow to switch data connection on/off and also 2G/3G on and off. I have to do it several times to let my phone response.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
First Slim doesn't include a modem your using what ever was flashed with the previous AOSP rom. Second just look for the kk4 modem.bin and stick it in a AOSP modem zip. Last I don't recommend using any i897 modem on AOSP as kernel doesn't support audience chip and may cause static, on top of the fact you loose SUPA (H) support. Better to stick with i9000 modems.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I had a similar issue. I finally tracked it down to my restoring of backup app data. I did a clean install and skipped restoring the backups. Now everything is running smoothly (knock on wood).
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
I have many apps so restoring is only way to save time but I will do this to get rid of the problem with network connection switching.

Thks!
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Not so fast. After about a day, I'm starting to see the issue again. :(
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
I just switched to this ROM and my only question so far is when I go to power down I don't see an option to reboot into recovery?

so what is the deal with 2.4 WIP? Also, what are the new mms features?

And another question, in the 2.3 update, what are the 'changes with AOSP source'?

thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Mms=CM one, go read over there to see what it is if you do t know. "Changes to AOSP source" means we synced with Google latest. Again check their change log.
[Captivate Android Development] hellomynameis:
I know this is the wrong board, but I wanted to see if someone here would update rom for Samsung Infuse 4g. I have looked there and no has updated on that forum to 2.3 yet.
[Captivate Android Development] whisky23:
Wouldn't it make more sense to ask on the Infuse 4G Unofficial Slim Bean forum? Why don't you ask mg2195, the forum OP?

Edit - In any case, it's already updated.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
i am sorry, what unofficial slim? i don't allow ports based on zip. someone link me the thread

I downloaded the fonts pack. Dumb question. How do you change the font in JB?
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I haven't changed fonts in a while (since GB). You may need to use an app from the market. The one I used was Font Changer by a dev named Martin.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
It doesn't work in jb. Messed up the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] joonair:
flashed from slimICS, i wiped everything, flashed and its stuck at the android logo and semaphore. i can enter cwm still. should i reflash?
[Captivate Android Development] dank8885:
Known issue, this happens because of the change in partitions. Flash device zip (again) then slim apps zip.
[Captivate Android Development] grndnl:
is 2.4 not up yet?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
No....

Edit:

Guys the gist of it is if there is a update pending we are trying to all release on friday but keep in mind that's always subject to change as you never know what comes up. :)
[Captivate Android Development] joonair:
I successfully flashed it, but now my SIM card doesn't register or something :confused: I tried turning it off putting SIM card in, turning it on several times but it says I didn't enter a SIM card.. is this the problem with the ROM? or did i somehow destroy my phone or SIM card?

EDIT: NEVER MIND. IT WORKS AGAIN HORRAY!
[Captivate Android Development] brttwilliams:
You would think that no one understood what the acronym WIP stands for..... I don't mind waiting, but since this effort isn't about 1 person or even 1 device, the effort that the development TEAM puts into the end result is what matters. :screwy:

You can just check the www.slimroms.net

Well I was able to compile all 3 *coguh* 4 devices (wanted to try 2.4 on my I747) and are our on testing. Finger crossed nothing mayor comes up :)
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Have not seen this issue posted on slim bean and a basic search came up with nothing to help.

currently running slimbean 2.3 with a cobalt theme , no other changes, for about 24 hours. I did a complete wipe 3 times and after flashing fixed permissions etc.

twice in the last day my phone started acting up as if i was wildly pressing the screen :( and it was going back and forth from one screen to the next. both times it happened just after a phone call (not sure if that is connected). a reboot settles everything down.

I remember a long time ago (feels that way :eek:) on GB there was a similar issue with phantom screen touches ( this is a little different as before it was touching the back button and the like now it is all over the screen, from dailpad to favaroites then back to messaging .... ) and there was a firmware(?) code for adjusting screen sensitivaty as a fix. cannot remember the code and have not been able to find it. will keep searching , but maybe someone remembers.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
maybe im just lost but I could only find 2.0 on the slimroms website. I downloaded and installed that and Common 2.

any advice?

[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
thank you. I figured out the email and then went and flashed the 2.3. and then Common_2.zip. when it booted everything crashed after the screen unlock. could not get to main launcher screen even.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
You shouldn't have flashed a common zip for 2.3. That has changed from earlier versions.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Ok. thanks. I think I got it running now. I just did the Gapps and extras from the download site. that seems to have worked. not to get it all settled down.

Not sure what my issue is, sometimes I attempt to unlock it and it just sits there black with leds lit up. known issue or is it just me?

Add: Sometimes it comes back, other times I have to restart it, like now. :\
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Stock kernel/settings?
[Captivate Android Development] Veight:
Yup. Haven't changed anything major. No cpu adjusting or anything.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
It doesn't on my end, more likely or not its a app or lag. However if you provide me with a logcat from when its happening (if you can reproduce it more than once is best) Ill gladly take a look at it.
[Captivate Android Development] brttwilliams:
Veight, I've ran into that issue, usually it's because the phone is either running too hot and trying to do too many things at once, or it's trying to actively run a program in the background occupying too much of the CPU. At that point, I usually let it finish rebooting and leave it be for a minute or so until I know everything should be booted up and the SD card loaded. I don't think it's a bug, just a design flaw on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Also keep in mind guys sgs variants are starting to show their age with JellyBean in general. Got to account for that (though a good setup/OC might help).
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
It's sad to hear that from FM :( (but it's true)
[Captivate Android Development] Veight:
This. :(

I'll go through my apps to make sure one of them isn't drawing all of my CPU or having issues. That seems like it would be the case.
[Captivate Android Development] Bogie1:
This is so true. I have had my Capyivate since January 2011 but, I have to say that since going through all the different versions (starting with Enclair 2.1) until now running Slim Bean 2.3 it is faster than it has ever been. My brother has a Galaxy SIII and with my configuration I think that this old phone is as fast or faster than his (his is completely stock, no root or anything). But, as we all know all good things must come to an end, sad but so so true. Thanks to all you guys for keeping the Captivate alive and still kicking butt!!!
[Captivate Android Development] thuanngotau:
Could you share your config?
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Now that I have mine all up and running, it is Butter smooth. as good if not better than Slim ICS. I have jumped to alot of roms and I am extremely pleased here now that I have it working. the ONLY changes I have made was in NS tools to OC 110%. other than that, I dont think I have changed much at all except went back to lightning launcher. mine is way faster than my wife's Infuse, and puts many others to shame. I had someone comment (when I was on SlimICS) that my phone was wicked fast and way better than their brand spanking new iPhone. HAHAHA! soon I may transition over to a larger screen like the note, but for now, ill keep a tight grip on my lightning fast cappy!

[Captivate Android Development] 305Freak:
Is their a problem grabbing what you want from GApps/Addons and adding them to the rom's zip file and just doing one customized flash? I'm just asking because it was okay to do this back in the Froyo/GB days.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
For OTA. You can use it to verify that the download is right if you want

Should work, but no guarantees :p
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I would imagine that's okay. I forgot to flash gapps for the AOKP JB and it ran fine except when I tried to register my gmail account on my phone. :eek:

Any progress on the bluetooth call sound quality or compass accuracy?
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
When I boot my phone, it is soft rebooting afterwards. Now when it boots it says System UI not responding. I click wait, and then the phone gets very very slow. I'm thinking the media scanner is crashing because the phone doesn't see any of my ringtones.

Was there a modem change in 2.4? I just flashed and am not getting any signal. Also, does JB use the same modems as ICS?

No bluetooth to test with. Not sure about compass.

full wipe and try again

Slim does not have a modem. Kernel is the same as well (2.3)

Sure,

SlimBean 2.4

Semaphore 2.06 (1200mhz)

SmartassV2

Deadline

(Don't have BigMem checked, I like 720 Recording)

SD Card Read Ahead 1024

(No Modules, Logger, Tun, CIFS, config.gz, Radio FM, Mouse, X-Box Pad)

Holo Launcher HD

DPI 220

No Accounts to Sync Automatically

Battery Is Really Good as well!

That's pretty much it. If you want anything more specific let me know or PM me.
[Captivate Android Development] whisky23:
Can't comment on bluetooth call sound quality, but compass accuracy and GPS is pretty damn good, as long as you are on Devil3 kernel. The semaphore kernel, for some reason, won't play nice with the compass. But with the built-in GPS fix and Devil3, the GPS actually seems better compared to SlimICS. I'm runnig 2.3, but I suspect it should be the same for 2.4. Battery is good, but so far after a few cycles of charging, is still not as good as SlimICS.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Back with Slim for the first time in months! Very impressed! Sorry to ask but is devil kernel ok with this awesome rom? Anyone else running it with success. I would try myself but I don't have a link to the included Semaphore kernel to go back to. Checked in update me but it wasn't there. Thanks for great work on this, smooth as hell!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Same semaphore available to download on Stratosk's thread :)
[Captivate Android Development] whisky23:
I'm using Devil3 1.4.1. So far so good. I think you can download the latest Semaphore JB Kernel (2.0.6 I think). I had to do that for 2.3 when reinstalling slimbean didn't overwrite the Devil3 kernel I was using.
[Captivate Android Development] Ravenmtx:
I'm on Devil 1.4.1 as well. For some reason I couldn't seem to receive or send any MMS with the Semaphore kernels, but when I switched back to Devil everything became fine again. I'm sure it's more of a kernel issue. Haven't tried it with any other rom yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
When I lock the screen, the hardware buttons are unresponsive for 3-4 seconds afterwards. I noticed that there's an entry on the bug list re: screen flicker while locking. This may be related to it.

So.. it seems that when I update slim. I lose the ability to add a Google account and I lose my camera. That's the only things I've noticed missing after updating. If I do a full wipe, everything is fine.

How do I enable logging? I tried to pull a logcat and got :
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Semaphore app
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Thanks. I guess logging is turned on by default when I was using Devil3.

I'm running all stock (kernel, launcher). I'm using Widgetsoid to lock the screen and have volume wake activated. The volume button is giving me difficulty when waking the screen. I have to wait up to 10 seconds before it will respond. I have better luck with the power button. It will usually activate the screen on the second press.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
To be honest it seems like its lag. Logcat doesn't really show anything is broken or erroring out. However there are a few "Skipped 43 frames! The application may be doing too much work on its main thread." So it seems that something is making your phone lag. I suggest revising your setup and/or looking at your apps and figure out if one of them is being a hog. But to be fair I'm no expert :p
