i think that kernel uses /datadata and slimbean does not ....seem like partitions got messed up....time to call ODIN
[Vibrant Android Development] Burner2K0:
I have the 1.1.3 kernel in sd card and was able to flash that and boot up successfully. It's definitely the kernel then.
[Vibrant Android Development] drizze99:
You guys should really exercise a little patience. The Semaphore kernel is a great kernel and a new release is coming really soon that fixes the GPS....

During testing I got 7/12 birds with a 10m error.
[Vibrant Android Development] Burner2K0:
This isn't about the GPS, I don't care about that. It's just about me updating to the latest one in hopes of better performance and slight fixes; if there is a new one, I'll flash it. 1.2.1 boots me into recovery so I went back to 1.1.3. That's that.
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
So you changed your partition layout? lol
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
Some of the devil kernels don't have datadata setup. I believe the devil JB kernels do not and devil HB does.
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Doesn't matter 1.1.3 runs on older partition layout.
[Vibrant Android Development] drizze99:
Exactly. You guys flash and have no idea what you are really doing.

Burner2K0 - you should go back a couple pages and read my post about the new partition layout and how you can't just flash any kernel you want right now....
[Vibrant Android Development] ioancr:
I managed to flash the latest 1.2.1 Devil JB kernel on Slim Bean 2.1. I did this (on Semaphore kernel though):

1. Flashed Ultimate Cleaning Script 4 and then Devil JB 1.2.1 Kernel.

2. Rebooted to recovery and flashed again only the kernel.

3. Fixed permissions and rebooted normally.

The first boot was somewhat strange. After the Devil splashscreen the phone rebooted itself to Vibrant logo. Then after updating apps (Android upgrade popup) it showed again the Slim animation for a couple of seconds and only then booted fine to homescreen.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
Semaphore with gps fix
[Vibrant Android Development] drizze99:
For those of you who have been patient, this kernel will flash flawlessly on your phone.

For those of you flashing "other" kernels, you will probably bootloop or freeze on the Vibrant screen.
[Vibrant Android Development] Burner2K0:
Ehh, at this point I don't really care what happens to my phone to be honest. I'm due for an upgrade anyways lol.
[Vibrant Android Development] ioancr:
Flashed fine from Devil 1.2.1. No freeze, no bootloop. I can confirm a working GPS and a lot quicker fix than on Devil JB. Really exceptional kernel. Still testing.
[Vibrant Android Development] phenom69:
hey can you explain how did you replace your backup after you delete the efc folder? I just deleted it and what i do now? please help thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
I believe Devil 1.2.x kernels have the new partition layout. I haven't tested it as I've had no need to but I assume once you got it set up it should run just fine with Slim. Kudos to DerTeufel and his work I've used it alot in the past, don't think I'm bad mouthing it or anything of that sort.
[Vibrant Android Development] phenom69:
can some please tell me in detail how to get rid of the IMEI warning whenever my phone boots up?
[Vibrant Android Development] blink55184:
I used the guide here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9567974&postcount=1

It did not help though, I ended up flashing back to stock via ODIN
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
Has anyone fixed the lock screen centering issue? If so can you post it as my computer is down for a while
[Vibrant Android Development] brainwasher01:
+1, and answer call centering issue too, i think is the same issue for both...
[Vibrant Android Development] drizze99:
The lock screen centering issue is fixed in the latest release at the std density of 182.
[Vibrant Android Development] darksonic:
Just want to say that 2.1 is almost a night-and-day difference as far as speed goes. About the flash the new semaphore with GPS fix, but I've experienced little to no lag so far. For comparison, 2.0 was on the brink of being unusable with apps constantly freezing up.

Awesome job.
[Vibrant Android Development] Hobbesfed:
Just wanted to note that the DPI at 200 is centered too. (For me at least) The call unlock is also centered. So for those of you who find 182 too small, just go to 200. ^.^ its a bit better, and changing the text to "large" helps too. 240 dpi is just out of wack.
[Vibrant Android Development] Burner2K0:
Even Odin-ing back to stock then working my way back up to Slim Bean wont stop the Semaphore kernel from bootlooping even without flashing other kernels. It's getting me aggravated, so COMPLETELY wiped the phone and see if that eliminates anything causing it to bootloop *sigh*
[Vibrant Android Development] yb2fast:
OK so I need some help. Please. I'm coming from ics on my vibrant and want to get this working. Right now my phone has been on (android updating) for about half an hour. I need to know if I did something wrong. Any help would be appreciated.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
yes but a fix was posted but the framework res needs to be decompiled fixed then recompiled...
[Vibrant Android Development] yb2fast:
OK 47 minutes later I pulled battery and restarted now phone has been on same screen for about 10 min has the slim symbol bottom right corner. Still no working right.

I installed the t959 first then the slim and at now stuck

---------- Post added at 09:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:25 PM ----------

OK. So I went back and wiped again. Now phone is on but galaxy s setting keeps fc. Settings keep fc. And there are no apps at all. Help please
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you factory reset, format /system, flash device and commons? If not do it. If yes do it again, if it continues it can be a bad dl.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
wait a minute, did you say that the slim symbol is in the bottom right corner? The slim symbol should be in middle of screen. Are you sure you downloaded the right slim base?
[Vibrant Android Development] yb2fast:
Just so I'm the right page. First flash the one that says t959 and then the one that says slim. Thanks for the quick response

---------- Post added at 10:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

now I'm not. Lol. Its slim_sema_2.1_vibrant only.zip
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
First factory reset and format /system. Then flash T959.zip then commons.zip
[Vibrant Android Development] yb2fast:
Does it say commons zip. Cause that's not what I have.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
OK, here is what I did and worked with no loops nor any bat pulls needed. Download the semaphore kernel kravind posted a couple of pages back (semaphore gps) . Download slim bean 2.1 T959 zip and slim common 2.1.

Flash kernel, it is dated 8/24 so you know that you have the right one. After flashing it reboot recovery. Wipe data, I format system too.

Flash T959, flash common, flash semaphore gps. Reboot and good to go
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Yes commons2.1.zip or something. Double check from site.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
yes at the bottom of the downloads Page
[Vibrant Android Development] yb2fast:
OK so wipe factory reset, then reflash t959, then commons 2.1, then GPS zip then reboot.thanks again for the help
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Format /system... Importants bit ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] yb2fast:
OK got it working and smooth as well I like. Thanks for all the help guys.
[Vibrant Android Development] amitks:
Need help

I have been using the SlimBean v2.0.1 (with Devil datadata kernel) for some time, and upgraded to 2.1 just yesterday.

Suddenly, the phone has started giving me errors about insufficient space on my phone. I haven't installed any new apps or any downloads either. :crying: Just flashing this version, changed the partitions and I started getting this error. Any suggestions?
[Vibrant Android Development] dukdukgoos:
Do the international font support and battery charging animation add-ons from ICS work with JB? If not, can we get updated versions?
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Don't know if it causes loops its on you. In theory you can just push/move the font file directly to the location and set the correct permissions. ADB or a root explorer type of app should work.
[Vibrant Android Development] foxcartman:
Stupid me,I forgot the evo is CDMA,(moderators) feel free to delete my posts from this thread,
[Vibrant Android Development] dukdukgoos:
The font pack flashed without boot loops, but doesn't fix the font display (maybe JB uses a different font set than ICS?) Can we get an update?
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
Is this the same as the "slim_sema_2.1_vibrant_only" zip on your own Download site?
[Vibrant Android Development] DKM119:
Can anybody confirm if the tethering/hot spot is actually working on the latest version of Slim beam?
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
@mv10. Its not. What I posted here is the latest
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
Thanks.

Is this the correct install order, then?

t959.zip

slim_sema_2.1_gps_vibrant.zip

common_2.1.zip

(After wipe and format, of course.)
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
yes, you can also, simply swap boot.img in t959 with the one from sema gps. and no need for an extra flash.
[Vibrant Android Development] BungleMX:
lot of confusion here :( thanks for the very hard work but I'll wait for a stable single update
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
What confusion?
[Vibrant Android Development] BungleMX:
about the last patch, are the slim_sema_2.1_vibrant_only file is the only one?

so i'll flash

1st common_2.1

2nd t959

3rd slim_sema_2.1_vibrant_only

and thats all? for having gps and every thing smooth?

I'm on slim ics 4.2 and it's running fantastic so I don't want to screw it up
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
Really you are making it hard on yourself. I posted what you need to do. Just look at previous post just one Page before this one.

Hint, it's at the top.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
you can atleast couple of posts above yours before posting silly qns. i just answered mv10. you guys are making it really hard on yourselves and on me to want to continue support vibrant.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
ignore them, please continue support.

What is amazing though is the person is running another slim rom and still asked if he flashes the common first...
[Vibrant Android Development] BungleMX:
Yes y did read that

and i didn't understand this line:

simply swap boot.img in t959 with the one from sema gps.

if there's is just 3 easy steps, why to make it more strong to understand?

any way, maybe is becose of my bad english.

thank you for your support I feel sorry and please continue
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
Are MP3 ringtones still supported by JB?

I have one that I keep in my SD card root, and after I update the ROM I use RootBrowser to copy it back to the system ringtone folder, then I reboot and select it. I have been doing this with this same file since before Slim came out.

It shows up in the file list, but only as a filename, "Hawaii_Five_O" with the underscores, whereas I think in SlimICS it pulled the name from the MP3 tag data ("Hawaii Five-O"). When I select it, the audio does not play, but all the built-in files (which are Ogg) do still play when selected.

On an incoming call, it plays the default sound instead of this one.

Hmm, also, strangely, RootBrowser can use the Music app to play the file from my SD card, but it says it doesn't support the file type when I try the file from the media folder immediately after copying it over. Is RootBrowser compatible with whatever partition sleight-of-hand that has been going on? (Just to pull a wild guess out of my ass...)

(Other than a few minor things, though, SlimBean 2.1 is just amazing.)
[Vibrant Android Development] amitks:
Still looking for some support on this. Can someone please advise?
[Vibrant Android Development] drizze99:
OK, I am not gonna lie... I am totally hammered right now.

the reason why you are getting that error is because you didn' t format /system before you flashed the new version of SlimBean.

If I helped you can I get a hell yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Vibrant Android Development] samsgun357:
@MV10, change it from .MP3 to .ogg. That should work

Its peanut butter jelly(bean) time...
[Vibrant Android Development] midirt:
Something is definitely fishy! I tried to install t9 dialer (contact app) from another JB and it didn't work, so I returned original app back (all with root explorer). Then when I call - there is no sound! If I turn on speakerphone it works, but ehwn off - no sound. Volume is OK (although down button turns it up and vide versa).

I decided to reflash ROM, cleaned cache and dalvik, and I GET "STATUS 7" ERROR AGAIN when trying to flash!!! I can't flush any zip in CWM now - same as happened before. This never happened with GB and ICS roms even once, and I went trough a lot, but with this ROM - twice now! Looks like I will have to flash Darky Resurrection with Odin AGAIN and reinstall all this AGAIN. Why does it happen???
[Vibrant Android Development] momashi:
Hash for SlimBean 2.1 zip files.

Can somebody post the hash of the SlimBean 2.1 zip files they downloaded so that I can make sure that my files downloaded correctly ?

before I flash them:

t959.zip

common_2.1.zip

slim_sema_2.1_vibrant_only.zip

extras.zip

srec_voicedialer_addon_googlenow.zip

Sha256 if you can, or Sha1/MD5. Thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] MV10:
If you mean convert the file type, I don't have anything handy right now (I know where to find it).

Renaming the file doesn't work, in case that is what you're suggesting.
[Vibrant Android Development] brainwasher01:
For the the people that is having problem flashing this: if you're coming from another rom, after wipe everything and format system, you need to flash the rom twice because, the first time it put the CWM, then flash the rom again and after that flash the common, reboot, let it sit, and then flash the kernel... EASY! FAST!SIMPLE!!! Hope its help you people, that's what i do in all the roms i flashed in my Vibrant...

Links?

Hey I have clicked and poked the slimrom site....

But cant for the life of me find the v2.1 d/l links!!??

when i look at the d/l page the top line is v2.0 no v2.1 listed

http://www.slimroms.com/changeloganddownload.htm

and there isnt any d/l links from the v2.1 page either...

http://www.slimroms.com/apps/blog/entries/show/18123344-slim-bean-2-1

Would like to grab the v2.1...

please pm me links that work to v2.1 or post...

the only working v2.1 link Ive seen is the semaphore gps link...

and yes I have tried the op page links and the slimrom links from the dev sig...

still not seeing v2.1 links

thanks in advance

:confused::confused:
[Vibrant Android Development] momashi:
Yes there was download link in the first link you posted. But you're better getting you're zips from here:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/all/viewcategory/25-2-1

As the links you gave were for SlimBean 2.0. Make sure to check the instructions on flashing the zip. If you're flashing from Froyo/HC, you have to flash CM9 first.
[Vibrant Android Development] RoxAbout:
Yes there was download link in the first link you posted. IT's under the heading download link (they're just white and hard to see since the normal text is grey. you get your device zip (t959.zip if you have a Vibrant) and then get common.zip and and the addons.

Conversly, you can go here:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/do...ategory/25-2-1

I find it alot clearer there. Make sure to check the instructions on flashing the zip. If you're flashing from Froyo/HC, you have to flash CM9 first.

Awesome! thanks someone needs to update the links to add this page.. the page i have is all black...

thanks again!

[Vibrant Android Development] dukdukgoos:
Any ideas? Flashing the old ICS font pack doesn't work, and I had no luck manually adding to /system/fonts/ (although I might not be doing it correctly).

Can someone confirm how to get Japanese fonts working in Twitter/Facebook etc.?
[Vibrant Android Development] Me2995:
Perfect, thanks! :good:
[Vibrant Android Development] ioancr:
I've got an issue on build 2.1 and it is reproducible with a swiss clock precision. Whenever I let the screen go off while in landscape mode the phone reboots (however it shows only the Slim bootanimation). It happens both when I let it go by itself or by pressing power button. I tryed Devil kernel and Semaphore 2.1 and the problem still persists. I changed tge launcher to Zeam and no luck again.

Any idea?
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
I just wrote in another thread. please review the bugs list before posting the same bugs and if you are posting bugs, follow my signature and get some logs on a clean install.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
No problem, glad I could help. Easy peasy.
[Vibrant Android Development] momashi:
I know in the old ROMs Android 2.1/2.2 (Bionix, TeamWhiskey). I used to have to always disable my voodoo lagfix before flashing anything new (lest I wanted to brick my phone). Do you still have to worry about that with CM9 or SlimBean?
[Vibrant Android Development] ioancr:
The only real risc that I could think of is the so called EU bug (encryption unsuccessiful bug) when wiping data in recovery for a clean install. It makes unusable your internal SD card.

Watch also to flash only compatibile kernels when on a JB ROM, there could be partition differences (like HB vs CM).
[Vibrant Android Development] amitks:
Hell yeah!!!! :D

Thanks a ton. Realized that was ALSO my problem with my Transformer 101 :)
[Vibrant Android Development] addison892:
I have the EU bug. I caught it while Passion ICS was my daily driver back in March. Long story short, I recently have been able to flash again after a JTAG and learning how to perform the "work around" and creating a new internal SD with a partitioned external SD. I was recently told that I would not be able to run CM10 or Slim 4.1.1 because of the partitions that take place during flashing. I followed the directions perfectly and am very pleased to say this ROM is running smoothly and successfully on my Vibrant. Great job Devs. Keep it up.
[Vibrant Android Development] RoxAbout:
Thank you for v2.1 !

so far so good...

Cant get FFC working on my vibrant [I have camera mod installed].

is there a patch file avail?

Is there a way to switch to the normal partitions? Ever since using the Devil 1.1.3 kernel all hell broke loose. Can't flash the Semaphore kernel or else I bootloop to oblivion, not even ODIN helps. Oh well, I have a gps in the car anyways :rolleyes:
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Factory reset format /system flash and commons and new semaphore. Yes you need to factory reset and format.
[Vibrant Android Development] Burner2K0:
I've actually done that already and flashing the new Semaphore still somehow takes less than 5 seconds to flash then begin bootlooping. Probably permanently screwed up something internally *shrugs*
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
pull battery, reboot recovery with button combo, Reflash kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] snc74:
Is there a workaround for gallery because doesn't show all my photos/ files? Btw, the new kernel really fix my gps. All other things are working flawlessly!!
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Guys reflash device then new kernel then commons. Remember to full wipe before it has to work as 2.1 has the new partition layout, no reason for it to not work. If it doesn't maybe a bad init.d scrip? I can say it works just fine for i9000 and i897 so I can't say why it won't work on T959
[Vibrant Android Development] gregc2009:
I have finally made the jump from Slim ICS. After initially flashing t959.zip, I had to pull the battery to get back into recovery. Once there, reflashed t959.zip and then common_2.1.zip. Rebooted and let settle. Rebooted to recovery and flashed Slim_Sema_2.1_GPS_Vibrant.zip and it went without any problems.

Impressions so far are great. Nice clean and smooth. The only thing I wish it had was the T9 Dialer.

Thank you for another superb ROM!

Holy crap.. this is the greatest ROM I've used in a while. I rocked Slim ICS for a long time and absolutely loved it. But I wanted JB and so I switched to Helly Bean, which was nice, but gave me some issues. Back to Slim Bean today.. freaking love it. Hopefully the landscape reboot will get fixed soon.. I do that by accident about twice a day. Still freaking awesome.

Off centered lockscreen can't be fixed by a simple line fix, else krarvind would have fixed by now ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] kobesabi:
I know the internal GPS doesn't work great, but does this ROM has option to use external bluetooth gps sensor as source? Usually, in CM9 or some CM10, it is under System Setting, Location services, GPS Source, *bt sensor*
[Vibrant Android Development] Burner2K0:
Is no working GPS the ONLY bug on Slim Bean? If so then I might have to flash to check out the ROM
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
No thats the Vibrant only bug. I9000 & i897 bugs count for vibrant as well (or should).
[Vibrant Android Development] cogsci:
Where would I find the Build.Prop editor?
[Vibrant Android Development] Hung0702:
You will need to install an app akin to Root Explorer. From there, you need to change the mount to rewritable and then use a text editor (a built-in functionality of RE) and locate the relevant entries. Root Explorer should make a backup of the build.prop for you, but you should make one just in case.

EDIT: krarvind has responded below. I have not yet installed SlimBean (in the process), so I was unaware of the inclusion of a dedicated build.prop editor. In this case, ignore what I wrote above, read all the directions krarvind has posted at the beginning of this thread, and read his post below. He has not steered me wrong even once.
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
just look in your app drawer mate. i included it and also read faq's.
[Vibrant Android Development] skinzy98:
OK I've been having some trouble with this rom. First thing the slim settings force close when I try to turn on the three soft buttons at the bottom. Second. When I flashed this I didn't have a keyboard? I flashed multiple times and different ways but I keep having trouble with it
[Vibrant Android Development] krarvind:
the only trouble mate is you not reading the instructions/change log. you need to flash 2 files in the right order to get Slim working fully.
[Vibrant Android Development] Fictional Reality:
yeah, so off to system ui i go then mate? lol i like screwing things up on my phone and fixing them back through trial and error anyways :)
