What are you showing us and what app is that? Are you showing the black box?
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Sorry to post such a silly thing on the dev page, but very curious as to why this black box has shown up in the stock browser since early JB.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Does it happen without the theme and with out the Nav bar?
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Thanks... phone has ghost keyed since froyo. I know I can edit the keyboard file but have trouble finding the key number to out a # in front of it.
[Captivate Android Development] UserNamer:
Absolutely love the ROM. Fast and clean and I love the default DPI setting. A few things:

1. GPS: On AT&T in the NY metro area, I have much more success with the BVJJW2 modem downloaded from this link. Almost instant locks that stay throughout my whole trip.

2. I second pickupman66's comment: I would just as soon keep the "hardware search" button non-working. The ghosting is ridiculously annoying.

3. My battery seems to be draining much more quickly than on other JB ROMs I've used recently, including RemICS' JB version, which is apparently based on SlimBean. I've seen references in this thread to playing around with settings ... any hints on what kernel or other settings I might change? (I am aware of the risks and take them on willingly. If I brick my phone, it's not your fault. =) )

4. I have some things in the "Memo" app which is packaged, I think, with TouchWiz (from RemICS). TiBU hangs when I try to restore the app/data to SlimBean (I know, it's a system app, but that hasn't been a problem in times past when a ROM isn't packaged with it). Not a big problem, as I can always throw on another ROM to recover the data before coming back, but I thought I would ask if anyone here had a different solution.

Thanks for all the hard work you've put in to keep your ROM current and stable.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
2)It should be fixed in 2.5. You can always just swap the files for i9000

3) Battery life differs so much on user. I would suggest first give it a few days for it to regulate. Make sure that Gnow isn't draining more battery life than necessary (GPS, voice on, etc) As always better battery life is a good way to figure out if something is making unnecessary wakelocks.

4)Try to restore without data. Apart from that don't know how to help :(
[Captivate Android Development] 305Freak:
This has only happened to me in the past if I over clock. I have heard though that it's possible to have humidity in the phone which may cause erratic button behavior. Something else you may contemplate.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Forgive my ignorance but which file do I need to pull from this package and place into 2.5 when you fix?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I'll have to get back to you as I just attempted to fix and it didn't fix it so need to make sure that it is what I thought it was. So once I'm 100% on it I'll let you know.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Does SlimBean take about 2-3 times longer to fully reboot compared to SlimICS?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Slim ICS had something in the kernel (don't remember what it was) that krarvind used when he built the kernel. We are now using Semaphore which adds a ton of great features that Slim ICS kernel never had. :)
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Good call, removed the theme and now no black boxes. Thx bro
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
I've been having problems with the camera since 2.1. It has been force closing without fail. I have cleared data on gallery and rebooted, but the problem has not been resolved. I have also installed third party cameras, with the same result. I have updated with each new release by doing a clean install, but the problem has persisted. I am running stock kernel with no big mem enabled or over clocking, and have been since 2.1. I've looked at the bug list and change log and see nothing related to it, nor have I seen anything mentioned regarding the camera on the thread. I've avoided cluttering the thread, hoping my trouble shooting would solve it, but I'm afraid I have reached the end of the rope here. Any help would be appreciated .

[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I had a similar problem where I accidentally hit the button to activate the front facing camera (which, of course, the Cappy lacks). Not sure that applies to you since you've cleared your gallery data and the problem didn't resolve.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Do you have Bigmem enabled in kernel settings?
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
I did the same thing once. I'm not sure if I was on slim or not but I recall that clearing data did not work either. So I ended up going into recovery and clearing init.d settings which fixed my problem. I do suggest creating a backup of it before clearing it just in case doing so causes other issues.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
No sir.

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Does it occur on another kernel as well and/or other JB roms?
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
I only used Helly Bean for a couple of days before 2.1 was released, and frankly I don't remember using the camera then. I did take a couple of pictures while using devil kernel a few days ago, but the phone was lagging heavily, so I switched back to semaphore. Honestly, this phone is running exactly how I want it, and I'm not going to get off this combination. I can switch kernels and do some troubleshooting if you want, maybe provide some log cats. I guarantee you I'm coming back to semaphore though. :D

Sent from my SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If it works with Devil and not with Semaphore means you got something set up with the kernel that's causing it. I've been testing exclusively with Semaphore never had that problem. I had to be its big mem. However if you want to produce a logcat ill take a look at it.
[Captivate Android Development] jpcdeux:
At least! Seems like it's taking longer every time.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
I'll gladly produce a log cat. I'll also tinker around with Semaphore settings and see what I can come up with. Thanks for the help man!

Going a bit slow but the main link seems to be working on my end.
[Captivate Android Development] nelson2006:
A couple of questions:

1) I have the 2.4 rom and aio 2.3 addons installed, do I have to make a clean data wipe to install the 2.5 version and the new aio addons?

2) Can I install the new rom and stick with the old aio version?
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
I always get " There was an error in the file download" when using update me.

and darn corporate BS does this:

[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
So far, so good. Lock screen issue appears to be fixed.

Also, the changelog notes that there's no change to VSYNC. Don't flash Devil3_1.5.2. It won't work with Slim Bean yet.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Mirror should be faster

A lot of framework changes. I would recommend full wipe, at the very least format /system, but if something doesn't work full wipe. Use new addons.

What antivirus you using?

Hopefully we will enable the new Vsync next release :)
[Captivate Android Development] krufttangoud:
OTA ERROR

NO antivirus on phone.

I can second the OTA file download error "There was an error in the file download".

No big deal just reporting.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
OTA isn't working for downloads at the current time. I fwd your post to site admin to check it out, but its probably just a false positive.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Right, the OTA app doesn't like the link to download. In fact, if you click to go to the website, it actually brings you back to slimroms.com (assuming the download link similarly points to the wrong domain as well, hence the error). ;) :fingers-crossed:

And on slimroms.com (which is a soft redirect) the latest available is 2.0.1
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Use the site guys OTA isn't updating roms. Also use slimroms.net not .com the softredirect doesn't always work on my mobiles
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Prbassplayer,

we are using Sophos Endpoint security and control V10.

also, I noticed you fixed the Search key. mind telling me how to UNFIX mine? LOL
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Use 2.4's /system/usr/Keylayout & Keychar folders
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
I can pull them from the 2.4 zip and place them on the phone and reboot?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Uh I'd assume set permission first. I haven't done this so I honestly have 0 idea if it will work or not. You can make a zip for it if you want and just flash it after each release.
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
worked like a charm. Thanks for pushing me on it to make a zip. actually made my first flashable zip because of this. Ill share with those who want it too.

Alright for everyone that was saying that the Cappy battery is old and whatnot, I took the advice of someone on a separate post. I got 2 1800mAh batteries for the Sprint Samsung Epic 4g from Amazon for less than 30 bucks American, just an fyi..... the phone feels more solid and the battery life so far has been very impressive, even with 2.5 :)
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Is anyone else noticing that external card is not readable on new 2.5?
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Either that or it got formatted.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
It would suck if it got formatted. I'm booting my i897 with my i747 SD card
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
I have a backup of external, no biggie, but I was going to listen to my tunes tonight during my drive. Maybe my card went bad. I'll check it again tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Its one of those things that we now assume it works always and since my extSDcard is on my i747 with otterbox I just don't bother testing on my i897 but since stupid little things keep breaking and us not noticing was just my luck lol.

Its working fine on my i897. But I'm not running release 2.5 lol
[Captivate Android Development] pickupman66:
Mine works on 2.5. Listed as emmc in root explorer. Also shows up when I USB the phone to my PC. I store all my tibu on it.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Got to say guys 2.5 with Vsync is working pretty well, still needs some debugging bluetooth Is broken so be patient. Stratosk will be doing a beta run of his kernel early next week I will have a beta build of Slim running for it, unless something happens :)
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Meh. It might be my card has died. I tried it in a friend's phone and it said there was no data. Maybe time for a new external micro sd.

That may be the case. It's working fine for me.

Android ID Changer does not work.

After upgrading from v2.4.0, Most of my apps. were still here but no data. (yes I cleared cache & formated) restored data with TiBu, individually, one app at a time.

I had a similar thing happen with my 16gb SD card, it suddenly stopped reading. Luckily I had an SD card reader with the micro SD adapter handy, that way I was able to identify that the card was dead.... But I usually keep my important stuff backed up on my dropbox.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
My old 8GB class 2 card got zapped when formated it. After many hours attempting to see if I could salvage it just gave up and bought a 16GB class 6 for $5 less what I paid for that class 2 8gb lol how prices change lmao
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
hehe, reminds me of my 256MB Kingston Flash Drive i bought wayback in 2002 for $60, but lol that damn thing still works, except that its cover is broken :P, Now I can buy a 32GB Flash for like $5 or less. Moore's Law at work.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Yeah, certain cards didn't have a good way of spreading out the erase cycles on it, and since the first blocks (where the filesystem tables are stored) are written and rewritten a lot, that was one of the falls, especially for the cheaper earlier variety.

I also had a similar problem where the card would simply not mount because the filesystem was "dirty" and wouldn't be recognized until I did a fsck on it.

Problem with syncing options, where are the checkboxes?

i'm trying to setup which items to sync with my google account and there are no longer checkboxes. i can only press each and it'll sync.

i'm using slimbean 2.5, can someone please tell me where it is? i'm trying to sync picasa web albums, i press it it syncs BUT i cannot even see it in my gallery. i've installed gapps and extra.zip

thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
I'm not entirely certain what you mean by this. If I remember correctly, as per the change log:

So, even after check-marking it in the accounts settings, you have to go to the Update.me app, got to Apps, and download (and install) the "GalleryGoogle" app. Now, with that in mind, you will have two versions of the Gallery app, and you will need to choose the Second gallery app.
[Captivate Android Development] jpcdeux:
Well 2.4 install for whatever reason wiped out half my pictures.

2.5 now no music player can find all my songs (least they're still there, thank God)

Craziness. Can't wait till my daily phone gets here next week and I wont have a flash fiending anymore lol
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
If they are still thee (physically) on the device, you might have to just ensure that the mediascanner actually completes correctly. I had that issue where I accidentally corrupted the database because I was impatient and killed the service and my Ringtones went missing ;) If simply waiting a while after a reboot doesn't help, do a clear data on the mediascanner app (or whatever it was called) and reboot again.
[Captivate Android Development] jpcdeux:
Did that, even moved all my music to the phone and not my external SD. Still nothing. Love the speed and such of this rom but it's gotta go sadly. Just too many little things amounting to BIG headaches.
[Captivate Android Development] HyeProfile:
Folks,

I'm on 2.5 and I've been installing a few additional apps from Google Play, and the latest install attempts fail with an "error: insufficient storage available".

Settings/Storage shows 42 out of 422mb available on internal, & 2.97 out of 13.03gb availabe on usb... Oddly enough the "apps" line under internal says 541mb, which is obviously more than the line that says total 422mb (does this have anyhing to do with datadata?). What gives?:eek:

Gps is seeing less satellites for me. Are we suppose to apply a Gps fix to 2.5?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
No. Mess with GPS aid
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Yeah probably. I was having similar issues, I had installed Chrome, it apparently had an update, but there wasn't enough space for it? :/

Easy solution is just to move anything that's not an on-boot service (like alarm clocks or system monitoring etc) to the SD Card (which there should be plenty of space for that).

As an Example, Dolphin Browser Beta (at current) is a 28 Mb app, and is using 14 Mb of data as well. After moving, (since only necessary libs and such are really "required" to be on the data partition, it only consumes 3 Mb (with the 14 Mb of data of course, trying figure out how to use the SD card instead). Ebay is a 9 Mb app, which shaves off half it's weight moving to the SD card. Waze is 18 Mb and shaves off 16 Mb.

At the end of the day, I started with only 32 Mb free on the data partition, and now (with just moving a few things) I now have 162 Mb free ;)

Give it a whirl and see how much /you/ can save! :)

Test Build

Ok guys I'm uploading a "test" off Slim with Vsync Enabled. Now important it will not be available in Slimroms.net as of now, consider it as "unofficial" and its just 2.5 but recompiled with Vsync enabled. Important note: you need to flash Stratosk new semaphore when its available for it to work. The kernel included will not work. Just flash it before you reboot. Also I highly recommend a full wipe procedure. BT will probably be as funky as it was in 2.5. I'll edit with a link when its up

Edit

Ok here is the link. The zip will have the letter V, it stands for Vsync, nothing to do with device model. Again You need to flash semaphore 2.1.2 for it to boot, it will probably have the same bugs fund in 2.5, this is just a unofficial release with Vsync enabled. Please full wipe. Any bugs please provide logcats.

Slim 2.5 With new Vsync
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
Just so it's crystal clear what are we supposed to look for in terms of improvements with Vsync enabled???

Thanks,

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
It's to my understanding better battery life with some increase in smoothness.
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
After initial load there does seem to be a perceptible increase in smoothness, though will need some time to see battery life improvements. Thanks for this build though. I like it so far.

Thanks,

MD
[Captivate Android Development] arse87zx:
I would have to agree. There is a noticeable increase in smoothness.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
To those who may be interested, because VSync was enabled in this test build, you can now use Devil Kernel 1.5.2. Of course, the previous kernels will not work and vice versa.

Imho, it's kind of a dividing line for the Devil kernel line right now.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:

Is there any way that the Update.Me app can have the download link just point to the latest section category (Since the app just loads a webview object to start the download anyways).... Might help with the confusion in new users perhaps.

[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
No, just flash the srec_googlenow_addon zip (same as normal :P ) and of course the google apps. The only difference between 2.5 and 2.5V is the device.zip file.

As I see it, 2.5V and up you use Devil 1.5.2 and up. 2.5V and below, use the previous.
[Captivate Android Development] stoehner:
Why no 2.5v on the slimroms website? Is it still beta or is the vsync included in the 2.5 ROM now?

Still beta, but maybe not for long ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Vsync was always included but was disabled.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Because I released it so that people had something to use it with Stratosk's release on i897 and T959. Basically same as 2.5 just recompiled with the new vsync enabled. Since I don't consider it it official I didn't ask Krarvind to upload to the site.
