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:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/faq/slimbean/160-playstore-issues-2-7-faq

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:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/d...d/24-addons/479-inverted-multi-dpi-play-store

once again sorry for the circumstances,

thanks and regards and enjoy it,

Lars
[Vibrant Android Development] LAKings55:
Not sure if it's just my phone, but the update me app refuses to download 2.7. Just keeps giving me an error before showing the download progress that never changes.
[Vibrant Android Development] kufikugel:
please download over slimroms.net.

we published this time 2.7 not over OTA.

thanks and regards,

Lars
[Vibrant Android Development] LAKings55:
Thanks, didn't get the memo, haha. Should I redownload and flash GAPPS too?
[Vibrant Android Development] kufikugel:
yes please
[Vibrant Android Development] davidbauer:
Updated gapps, cleared cache/dalvik, except i go to open link for music album, play store crashes /stops?
[Vibrant Android Development] LAKings55:
Obviously will be doing a backup. But having only ever flashed new ROMs, and having to restore my apps and data, will flashing this update wipe everything, or should everything be in place if it all goes according to plan? Plus, I know this is a Q/A type deal, but it should be relevant. Any known, reliable ways to get GPS up and running with Slimbean. I know the weak GPS is just a fact of life for those of us with older Vibrants, but still...certainly wouldn't complain if I could get it running again...
[Vibrant Android Development] kufikugel:
Hi, no a full wipe is recommand. best way.....backup your apps with titanium backup.....wipe everything and install like install instruction says.....after setup you can restore all your apps with titanium backup....finished

@playstore.....could you please send a logcat??

thanks,

regards,

Lars
[Vibrant Android Development] davidbauer:
GPS won't even search, music access in play store screwed even after fix. May want to stay on 2.6 til 2.8
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Or, maybe downgrade to older playstore. App still in OTA. As for GPS I added this to FAQ, its hit or miss damn sgs had bad gps to begin with and its difficult to work with it. Want better gps? get a GPS! or upgrade to SGS3 or something. Concrete walls always get a lock inside real quick with at least 12/20 sats.

Cheers
[Vibrant Android Development] davidbauer:
GPS

2.6 had gps icon on top. this does not. Got locks 2.6. 2.7 gps is like broken all together. have you tried it?? btw i appreciate all your hard work and donate regulary, just to let you know. Love this build:)

---------- Post added at 10:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 PM ----------

Have you tried the correct XDA gps hardware fix? to improve antenna reception?
[Vibrant Android Development] kufikugel:
please wipe cache, wipe dalvic, wipe data, format system, reflash rom and gapps and try again.

If you have still this issues please do a logcat and post.

thanks and regards,

Lars
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Nope no Vibrant and my i897 has always had bleh gps, but I know what the problem is. I'll have something to test in a bit

~~~~~~~~~~~~Edit~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Try this to verify if gps gets better, fix or no difference. Again no T959 just tested that it won't make you look ;). If by some odd reason GPS gets worst (or anything else for that matter) just reflash rom and it will restore.

Cheers
[Vibrant Android Development] cogsci:
Post #1029 has a solution. Works for me! :cool:
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Then what I posted should fix enable the gps to what ever degree it has worked in the passed. Sorry about that Seems last 2 builds my vendor folder has been effed up, should be better from now on.
[Vibrant Android Development] Trets:
Unfortunately this didn't do it for me. GPS is still off. When checking "GPS Test", it says "GPS on", but the gps icon in the notification bar isn't there (not blinking or anything, it's simply not there).

I couldn't get the fix on post #1029 to work, either- but that's only because I couldn't edit the file. @prbassplayer, did your zip push that file in place (thanks for posting that, by the way!)?

And: my gps was working in previous versions, not amazing, but it was there.
[Vibrant Android Development] davidbauer:
Use root explorer app to change permissions then rename, worked for me
[Vibrant Android Development] DKM119:
Well 2.7 is working very fine on my Vibrant now with the exception that Gallery and the Music app doesn't recognize my media, however with third party applications there is not problems, I have clear data, cache, reboot, re-reboot, Full wipe/flash, Odin back to stock and do all the process again and still is not rescaning my media, like a said is not a biggie because third party applications are doing the job, I'm just wondering if anybody else is having this issue or if there is a solution for this.

Thanks for the great Rom.
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
No problems that couldn't be fixed for me.. I'll stick to 2.7
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Verify that you don't have any .nomedia file anywhere. If you sure that file doesn't FC media storage wipe data and reboot. Let it repopulate. Hope it helps
[Vibrant Android Development] Trets:
Thanks, that worked!! Can confirm working gps now :)
[Vibrant Android Development] davidbauer:
Anyone else have the music section of the app store FC when click on song or album? this is 10/14 gapps. Did full reinstall instructions verbatim. Still not working. No game changer love the rom, just curious???

[Vibrant Android Development] eksasol:
It's a long standing issue I have with SlimBean, did not have it with SlimICS. My solution is to change the dpi to something else other than 240dpi, like 241 and it would work, then apply the multi-dpi PlayStore patch from the SlimRoms site. Still, sometimes turning on and off Airplane mode freezes the WiFi switching, but switching "off" Airplane mode will make it work again.
[Vibrant Android Development] ast32:
Popping in to say how smoothly 2.7 is for me. Everything seems to be in working order. A bit choppy with the Semaphore kernel but it works in my favor. By any chance, a quick search showed that the only fix to the off-centered lockscreen is a cautionary flash, did anyone find out what is causing it?

I installed this rom last night, and was having an issue where the data would not connect, no matter what. I have the vibrant. I tried going back to stock, then loading slim ics, then slimbean, same thing. Wifi worked perfectly, and everything else worked perfectly, just no data.

Any suggestions?

[Vibrant Android Development] dictatorr:
but my device laggs a bit when playing games
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
You should have the Semaphore 2.4 kernel installed, download Semaphore Manager from Google Play, set governor to SmartassV2, smoothUI, CFQ and in your phone development menu set background processes to 2. Note every time you reboot, you have to reset background processes again.Try that to see if it becomes smoother. Also reboot and wipe cache and dalvik daily ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
If by lagfix you are implying to the format used then that's a sure way of making your device loop. We already run a combination of yaffs2 and Ext4
[Vibrant Android Development] damntarpon:
Mine was not working at all. No icon, etc. This worked for me. It took awhile to see the birds and get a lock, but it is working. Some gps is better than none! Thanks!

I'm having a slight problem flashing SB. I used the original 2.0 and liked it but switched to CM10 when I got a different Vibrant. Running 1017 CM10 and tried flashing SB 2.7 earlier and got stuck at boot. Tried 3 times but with the same results. Suggestions all mighty dev community? =]
[Vibrant Android Development] Mostdef:
Did you try wipe cache partition and wipe dalvik cache? If not working then you might have to odin back to jfd.
[Vibrant Android Development] crucialstogie:
I did try that but it didn't help. Its alright because I did a backup right before I tried flashing so the phone is working normally again

Hi,

Great rom!
[Vibrant Android Development] hkmiller:
Great ROM. Went from cm10 to this ROM. Faster no lag. Only thing I miss is the capacitive buttons don't light up when I get message email etc.

Any way to fix this?
[Vibrant Android Development] svavrek:
System Settings. Interface. Display. Notification Light.

The End.

On a side note... Upgraded to 2.7 finally and LOVE it... I know it isnt necessarily a ROM issue, but has anyone found a solid enough fix for the GPS though? FasterFix doesn't do anything, the hardware "fix" didnt have any affect on it... I can't seem to get it to work... if the GPS worked on this phone (I say phone because It's been a long time VIBRANT issue, not necessarily any software issues) I'd never upgrade it... If I can get it working then I don't have to spend the $$ on the Note 2 in a few weeks :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
BLN on Semaphore you have to install BLN Control Free or preferably BLN Pro for blinking. If you install Devil's kernel you could use Devil's Configuration Manager and bln is included but has to be enabled inside the Devil's app
[Vibrant Android Development] hkmiller:
BLN was the key.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moronig:
BLN for me as well. Neither svavrek's sugestion, nor System Settings. Screen, Pulse Notification lights work without BLN activated.

Thanks, doug!
[Vibrant Android Development] brainwasher01:

Gentlemen 2.8 is out!
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Ok Guys 2.8 is out as always read the changelog carefully. GPS is working, as in it sees sats however you will need to fiddle with the location data to get it to lock. As of now the kernel provided is semaphore, however compiled from source, in this case 2.4.4. Apart from that everything should be smooth sailing. Hit the thanks button for the team and the beta testers.

SuperManager 3.0 also... Seems like a LOT of apps are not even showing up on the market? Slightly confused...

[Vibrant Android Development] G00DFe77a:
What was done to fix the GPS? Was it rom related or kernel related? Thats the only thing I miss from SlimICS. GPS on SlimICS was a lot better, always locked under a minute. On JB it has always taken several minutes if at all to lock.

PRB mentioned 2.8.0 includes Semaphore 2.4.4, which was "compiled from source."

The only differences I "see" are the following:

Minor stuff. Just flash Semaphore 2.4.4sv again to update to CWM 6.0.1.5, but SB 2.8.0 will be stylin' & profilin' either way.

@K, PRB, & DF

Thanks to all of you for keeping SB alive on our ancient rigs. I've been a long-time 190 dpi user, so the 182 dpi straight out-of-the-gates is a god-send for me (esp. with the Multi_DPI_Play_Store and not having to switch back to 240 dpi just to update Market apps). SB gets smoother and smoother. GPS sees birdies well enough (ie. I don't even use GPS). Wifi rocks. Luv the Slim unlock button, new wallpaper, and all the new tweaks that get added on. Keep up the great work!! :D
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
What where you on to begging with? I bet you are looping because you flashed from a different partiton which case you need to read! Check faq how to recover.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moronig:
Thanks for the reply. I was on 2.7, so I just flashed the rom, no addons, no gapps, then wiped cache and dalvik and rebooted. I did check the md5sum before flashing, btw.

Get in to recovery (ODIN a semaphore if you lost it) and wipe everything and reflash.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moronig:
Is there instruction for odin`ning just the kernel somewhere? Do I just use a regular PIT file from Froyo?

Ok, If anyone has this same problem in future, there are detailed instructions here: http://www.semaphore.gr/how-to/flash-semaphore-kernel
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
No.... Just flash Semaphore. Stratosk offers the .tar no going back to sammy partition.

Put the kernel.tar in and run it. Then button combo to recovery and reflash slim.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moronig:

Edit Nvm light notification does work. Not sure why BLN is error in out. Checking in to it.
[Vibrant Android Development] Moronig:
I`ve never seen this issue resolved in any ICS or JB rom, once you use GPS, the system_server starts a thread GpsLocationProvider, that never dies as it should. Other devices have it, It`s not specific to vibrants, google it.

You can check that by running the command "dumpsys power" without the quotes on a root shell or adb. It should show a lock for GpsLocationProvider near the bottom. Restarting the phone is the only way to stop it, AFAIK. Anyone knows another workaround?

[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
I include a source compiled semaphore because it offers the best performance with the least amount of tweaking (for lazy or less experienced users) however when my i897 was my main device I used devil, but usually takes a lot more patience and/or knowledge to get it just right.

As a side note the BLN problem will be solved next release one way or another. But led notification works just fine.
