Attention

Hi guys,

so after a hard day and night yesterday we found the Playstore problem and it is solved testers reported us back.

I updated all addon packages on slimroms.net. If you plan to do a fresh install just redownload slimgapps, aio or the other packages.

For all other:

please read carefully install instructions here:

and download normal version here:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewdownload/24-addons/463-multi-dpi-play-store

or inverted version here:

once again sorry for the circumstances,

thanks and regards and enjoy it,

Lars

Wont install for me, man this is frustrating... any other suggestions?

I went back to stock, installed speedmod kernal, installed docs ICS for a nice base, then Slim 2.6 now 2.7 and get an error 7...

Tried format /system, mount AND unmount and same error
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Does the updatescript say

assert(run_program("/tmp/updater.sh") == 0); or

run_program("/tmp/updater.sh"); ?

Should be the latter (the zip was updated yesterday I believe. Let me know

2.7 installed just fine coming from AOKP and Devil 1.6.1
[Captivate Android Development] Qawnman:
Been my d.d rom since 2.0 great work Dev!

Updated to 2.7 fine

Don't like the new lockscreen icon, any way to revert back?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] powerserge1:
What I had to do was after installing Slim 2.6 was to actually boot into 2.6 then reboot to recovery, format and mount system, clear cache and dalvik then 2.7 installed fine. Flashing 2.6, then flashing 2.7 while in recovery did not work. Booted into 2.6, reboot recovery, do the steps above then all went well. Thanks for your help.

Installation errors

First, thanks to the Slim Bean folks for having a rather clear and easy to navigate website.

I'm really keen to try this ROM, but I keep getting Status (0) errors saying the ROM file is bad. I've tried multiple downloads. Trying to install on i897, coming from MIUI rom 'WeUI v2 by NightShack0' (which is a nice rom, just a bit slow and I want something that more closely resembles my linux distro).
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
First flash an old version 2.6 at least 3 times, then proceed with the installation of 2.7. Since the partition layout is different since 2.6.
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
Is Slim-i897-2.7.0-OFFICIAL.zip corrupt? Following install instructions, getting "E:error in /sdcard/Slim-i897-2.7.0-OFFICIAL.zip (Status 0) Installation aborted". Redownloaded several times, still the same picture. Booting CM9 - no problem, booting older Slim (3.7) - no problem. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
Redownload the ROM just in case, and flash Devil 1.6.1 first, it flashes fine from it's recovery...
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
Exactly the same picture with Devil 1.6.1...
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
Did you redownload the ROM? Installation failed, is usually a bad download... Remember to format /system and /data
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'm out but when I'm home ill download the rom on server and double, triple check from different start points see what's up.
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
I can download and take a look if you want... I loaded it yesterday...

Flashed back to GB stock and started with CM10 (instead of 9), now it flashed fine. Weird, with exact steps but from CM9 I was getting that error. I guess it would make sense to adjust install instructions...

I have followed your suggestion and installed 2.7 successfully.

i have upgraded directly from Slim ICS 4.2 to Bean 2.6. Installed 2.6 Rom Three times and then 2.7. reasonably easy.

Thanks Dev team for the great work.

Been running this ROM for several days now and impressions are still great. Still having issues with external not showing up, manual reboots cause battery to drain 20-30 percent and Google now is not showing up in app drawer after flashing the very dark version of gnow and revert didn't restore it.

GPS Fix for ver 2.7

After updating to ver 2.7 my GPS did not work as good as the past versions. I went to GPS Fix ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1493695 ) and flashed the latest fix. Much better. I am in Tampa, FL., USA and am using KG3 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
The external not showing up is an issue with the Semaphore kernel. The stock is 2.3.0sc, but the newest one out right now is 2.4.0 so I say give 2.4.0sc a go and see if that resolves the issue. As for Google. Reflash the GApps?
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Tnx for reply. Tried both ideas and still haven't reached a resolution. Gnow i don't really use anyhow so no biggie, but sd card not being recognized is a pain. Might have to flash devil again and start tweaking
[Captivate Android Development] ppmz:
That's all very well, but I got Semaphore 2.0.6sc (Slim-2.4.0). Can I upgrade straight to 2.7 or must I go via 2.6?
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Go through 2.6 first.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Just installed Slim and love it so far. I got a question, is there a way to change dpi? My eyes not as good as they use to be and things are just a tad too small for me to see easily. I went to Display and set Fonts to Larger size but it had no effect.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You could follow the instructions for 2.6 (flash 3 times) on 2.7 unless you get updater.sh error then I guess go through 2.6 first.
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
Go to Settings, Developer Options, LCD Density, change to 240, as it is default DPI for Captivate. Enjoy :)

[Captivate Android Development] FNPonderous:
Is everyone having a problem with the external SD not showing up or just a select few? Update is pending on this.
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
Nope, only a selected few are having this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
Thanks. I knew the DPI setting was somewhere because I had changed on other ROMs before but couldn't remember exactly where is was.

After flashing 2.7, gapps, and the voice/Google now add-ons, I still don't have either of those add-ons. The market days Google voice is installed, but it doesn't show up in the app list nor in titanium backup.... What am I doing wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] MarcianoS:
Power consumption?

Is anyone experiencing higher battery consumption on 2.7? Checking Battery and Running Apps shows a couple Maps processes that apparently consume a fair chunk of power.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Maps has nothing to do with us, seems like last update made maps be a hog.
[Captivate Android Development] xijar:
So i've got 2.6 running, and only because i could not get 2.7 to install, i keep getting error status (0) and I have tried to download the file several times and it seems intact. 2.6 installed fine and yes I have tried to install the zip over 3 times.

EDIT: And then I download the ROM for a 4th time and it works! Surprised I was getting corrupt downloads so many times in a row but what're you gonna do.
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Unluckily, I'm one of those selected few but rest assured, flashing devil fixes the issue
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Just out of curiosity who's using the Semaphore Kernel and not having issues with their external SD Card not showing up?

What version of Semaphore are you on?

What settings did you change/set if using 2.3/2.4?

Just thought I'd try and get some answers for those people who's phones don't play nice with Devil.
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Question for you, sir. Did you have to flash big mem patch to get 403MB to stick on reboot on Devil 1.61? I keep reverting to 378

Fyi to save those curious some time, don't flash devil 1.53, it's not compatible and will hang on devil boot screen.

I suppose it doesn't surprise me that some find their ext. SD Card where they should and others don't. So if your ext. SD isn't /emmc then try /mnt/emmc seems to be the case.

Using default Semaphore 2.3.0sc, I have a sdcard0 & sdcard1. I can access both of them. Lots of spots in root with definition/locations.

Ok, got pissed totally redid everything! Here's what i did

1. odined back to JF6/master cleared

2. flashed gb bootloaders/rooted

3. Flashed CM10 nightly 20121013

4. Flashed slim 2.7 official

5. Flashed the real dark aio add on (in lieu of reg slim GAPPS)

After rebooting, i noticed that i still had the CM kernel, not semaphore. I proceeded with restoring all my apps. Checked for curiosities sake whether my sd card was visible and if GNOW finally flashed right and this time they both did.

6. Flashed semaphore 2.4sc

Now everything is working perfectly. External Sd card is accessible and my theme is dark and sexy including a working GNOW!

I can't put my finger on why SD wasn't showing up prior but I'm sure gnow got fubared when i attempted to flash the dark themed package and tried to revert. Gnow will not work afterwards. Hope this helps those that had similar issues

Has anyone experienced any problems with Google.backup.transport service, it doesn't seem to work properly after 2.7 update for me. Some of my standart apps didn't restore any data they usualy get after wiping. I'm worried because some of the features need to be restored were donated, and I don't feel like asking app developers to check on this issue: it's obviously ROM thing.

Good: Following some instructions above, I am on now running 2.7, and it is excellent.

For future troubleshooting, what I actually did, from soft-bricked:

1) restore phone to 2.1 Eclair. I think accidentally installed a Gingerbread kernel, giving me a pixelated boot loop.

2) OneClick a Heimdall .jar to flash to kh3 with CWM boot loader

3) use recovery to flash slim bean 2.6 (2.7 wouldn't work at this point), flashed it twice since first flash only seemed to update recovery and kernel

4) use updated recovery to flash to 2.7 and then install slim gapps.

Bad: No cellular service at all. When I scan for network operators I immediately get 'error while searching for networks.' Baseband is reported as 'unknown'. I saw in a Vibrant thread that this was (at the time) incurable, but I can't imagine that's still true. Do I need to flash a modem? Is there currently a 'best' compatible choice for that?
[Captivate Android Development] kong00:
make sure you didnt bork your imei code. check the efs folder or do a search
[Captivate Android Development] The Sonos:
Slim doesn't include a modem. Modem performance varies by location, try a few or find out what you had before and flash that. I'd try a modem before thinking iemi is missing...
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Lol imei is easy to check. It tells you in settings/phone info/status
[Captivate Android Development] jdinhtc:
IMEI was missing. Tried a command line code to put it in manually, no luck. ODIN brought it back. Backed it up with EFS pro, recreated above procedure to get to SB 2.7. IMEI was missing, so I used EFS pro. EFS pro did what it was supposed to, phone rebooted, still no IMEI. Flashed JK4 modem, problem solved. Thanks for tips, everyone. Will play around with the ROM now and try to find a way to contribute :)

Gaming

So I decided to take it upon myself to see how well this rom handles HD games. I tried Asphalt 6 and it seemed to run it even better than CM7 on which I clearly remember a slight skip every once in a while and I couldn't see any skipping while playing the game on this rom. I also tried Samurai Showdown although that isn't really all that demanding. Hero of Sparta worked perfect except that after 30 seconds it says "Unfortunately Hero of Sparta has stopped working" every time it try playing it. I will try to buy Asphalt 7 and Modern Combat 3 and tell you the results because they are more demanding and would be the ultimate test.

PS. I decided to use this as my daily driver because of the speed and the freedom of choosing whether or not to install the different addons. I came from LANIGHT 6.5 DD because I encountered too many force closes and other problems and I dont have the patience to be installing different kernels and fixes. Is RemICS-JB any good?
[Captivate Android Development] can80an:
Not sure if you mean you installed the addon "SREC_VoiceDialer_Addon_GoogleNow" or if you installed Google Voice from the Play Store ... Installing the addon package should do the job for you.
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
If think Google "Voice" was there under apps as just "Voice". Once he clicked Voice, it went into setup.

Google Now is under apps as just "Google".
