Yes I already have it activated but the problem is that it still isn't working with Dorimanx/Siyah Kernel. With stock kernel it's np.

Is it possibly to enable this function per app or manually?

Hello ! I did search a couple of threads, and couldn't find the solution to fix my GPS. My GPS never gives me a lock on satellites, im on SlimBean 3.1 and tried the stock kernel as well as the DorimanX 3.8 .. even then, no Fix. I did try flashing the GPS configurations, but doesn't seem to help, guess my GPS is broken.. also tried a clean and fresh install, can anyone help?

Thanks..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Have you tried flashing a stock ROM and seeing if the GPS works? That might be a good way to determine if the GPS is broken or not...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Didgesteve:
I've had lots of problems with GPS before. Eventually I came across this gps.conf file.

Don't flash it, unzip it & place it in your /etc folder, replacing the one that's there (or relabel the old one).

Set permissions

chmod 644 etc/gps.conf

reboot.

I get gps lock in under 5 seconds every time now.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sandip.banik:
Thanks a ton :) ,

but I am sorry, it did not work.. Thanks for the suggestion though, guess, i have to restore a stock ROM and then see, if its working or not.. :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] frosty234:
This may sound stupid, but I've had a similar issue with my GPS. The solution was just to check all the boxes in: settings -> accounts -> google -> settings (bad translation - I'm not english speaking). Give Google the permissions to track your location.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] sandip.banik:
No problem, thanks for the suggestion, but the thing with letting Google do the needful, kind of drains a Lot of battery.. because Google wants to keep tracking the location.. :P
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] dead0:
ive also had gps locking problems but after the first lock is made which can take a while, subsequent locks after turning gps off/on are almost immediate. i used an app "gps test" to check my status and once it locks, close it, start google maps and it locks straight away without enabling google tracking my location
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kontinuity:
IMEI lost, twice!

I've flashed the SlimBean last two versions and in both cases after a reboot I've either lost (shows unknown) or locked (shows 004999010640000). Luckily I had an EFS backup so I could restore in both cases.

I normally flash as:

* Wipe user data

* Format /system

* Apply zip

Is there an issue or something I should be careful about while flashing?

Appreciate the help.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k4bbe:
I've not come across that issue before, and I have flashed and reflashed loads of times. Haven't seen or heard about it being discussed on the thread either....

More information would be helpful. What S2 version, which rom and kernel are you coming from, does it happen with other roms etc etc?

The more information you provide the better and easier to offer help and advice really :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quijote1:
Don't flash anything at the moment. Do the following.

1) Install GPS Status from the store (free).

2) When you want GPS, activate all of the Google location services. The rest of the time leave them off to save battery.

3) After activating GPS, start GPS Status, In the menu, select Download A-GPS. What this does is give your GPS a starting point for its calculations based on your nearest cell tower. That should give you a very fast fix. If your GPS starts calculating from a point in the USA and you are in Europe, it can take forever!

I get a 7 satellite fix in my living room in 5 seconds!

I had this absolute gorgeous rom on my nexus s and now I got my s2 I think I musr give it a try. The only thing I want to know is if there is the multitasking feature like there is at omega rom.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] k4bbe:
Good choice. I'm running 4.2.1 beta 2 on my S2, previously had 3.1 on it which was a winner, and the 3.1 (soon to be replaced by 4.2.1 beta) on my Nexus 7. It's rock solid and still at beta stage. Amazing :D

Multitasking feature? Explain.. I'm not sure what you mean :-\

If Omega is a Samsung LSJ based rom then you are probably referring to Multi window. If that is the case then the answer is no it doesn't... But I don't think you will miss it. I have multi window on another rom I use regularly... Naming no names here. But find the S2 screen a bit too small to use it at all really. Would be better suited to a device with more screen real estate.

Flash this or the beta... You won't regret it but nandroid backup just in case.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] RM57380:

No, go back into Recovery, wipe data, cache & dalvik cache. That should do it.

This will wipe your data, so backup what you want to keep.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GTRSkyR34:
Hmm, I did it, same problem and my lock screen not working.

Should I reflash ROM?

EDIT: And browser not working... something is wrong..

I came from Resurection Remix ROM, and followed this steps, From another JB or ICS Rom to SlimBean

hi i was planning to flash this rom i was wondering is it good for everyday use and how stable is it any major bugs? also i am coming from stock 4.0.4 with siyah kernel, i was wondering once i flash the rom do i need to redo the klernal or has the rom got a built in one, also what will happen to my recovery, will it stay the same or be replaced.

thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Conny84:
3.1 ran perfectly for me, no problems whatsoever and perfect for everyday use. It has it's own kernel which does it's job, you don't have to flash another one. I was using the dorimanx Kernel 7.29 for this rom, without any problems.

If you have done a nandroid backup it is of course not gonna be deleted; I even still have my GB Hyperdroid rom backup :highfive:

Go to silmbean.net and follow the instructions:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kuljit55:
thanks, but by recovery i meant like the clockwork mod recovery siyah give us, also does this contain project buuter, and does this have wifi direct, 180p and all of that. thank you
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Because of yet another retarded Samsung design choice... on the SGS2 the Boot (aka Kernel) and Recovery partitions are bundled together into the same partition... this means, whenever you flash kernel it will overwrite the recovery as well... and, as far as I am aware, you cannot flash a recovery without flashing a kernel...

Anyway, SlimRom comes with a kernel bundled (for 3.1 this was the CM10 kernel from memory... whatever their JB 4.1.2 kernel was)... it has CWM recovery included... Do note: they neither this rom, nor the kernel/recovery have been updated since 3.1 was released... so they are likely to both be behind in terms of updates...

and before anyone asks... No, they will not be being updated anytime in the near future (unless a real showstopper of a bug is found)... but you can probably just flash the latest CM10 kernel (NOT 10.1!!) and that should work OK.

If you want updates... the 4.2.1 RC1 is over there ----> ;)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] kuljit55:
thanks that has cleared a few things up, i was interested in this rom due to its suitableness as i need a everyday runner so untill a final 4.2.1 is released i will gratefully wait, generally speaking how good is the battery life on this rom and is there any major features which are included in stock 4.0.4 but not in this, like the hdmi output adapter or wifi direct. thanks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Good luck finding any "true" custom ROM that has HDMI output... only repackaged stock ROMs are likely to have that working... again, this is due to Samsung and their proprietary drivers. :(

I hace flashed rc1 today.

I was on the 3.1

Now i cant find the depuration USB option and the close aplication with the back Button

In the locksceer y cant put 8 shortcuts...

Is this ok or am i doing something wrong ?

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Firstly... RC1 support over there --->

depuration USB option? I honestly have no idea what you mean...

If you read/searched the RC1 thread, you would have found that the developer options need to be "unlocked"... Settings -> About Phone... tap on the "Build Number" 7 times... you can find the kill app with back button option in there.

No more 8 shortcuts on lockscreen due to the new lockscreen widget layout thing. There just isn't enough room on the i9100 to fit it all in. You want 8 shortcuts... buy a device with a bigger screen! :P

AW: [ROM][4.1.2]Slim Bean - SGS2 [v3.1][All Languages]

I flashed SlimBean 3.1 today and it works like a charm. Thank you!

I'm missing BLN though. I followed the instructions in one of the first posts, that said to use xxTweaker 0.4.0_beta1. When I launched it, it gave me this error:

"Unsupported kernel. Install Fluxi kernel?"

I also tried ExTweaks and NSTools to no avail.

I'm using the default kernel that came with SlimBean 3.1. It's called 3.0.15-CM. Does BLN work at all with this kernel?

If not, which alternative kernels with BLN support can be used with this ROM?

Thanks much in advance!

Hello, I used today my phone normally, and suddenly he just restarted, I thought okay, it is just rebooting, but no, he stucked on Slimbean logo, and don't wanna start up.. I pulled up battery, tried few times and once he is turned on, but after 5 seconds on home sreen he again restarted, and I cant turn it on.. I tried wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache - same thing, I tried wipe cache, dalvik cache and flash ROM again - same problem...

Can anyone help me, I will lose everything what I got on my phone if I make full wipe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jayp33:
Did you install anything before this happened? This sounds similar to what I experienced with LBE Privacy Guard once.

First thing you should do is a Nandroid. You can restore data from Nandroid using Titanium Backup. It's tedious but it works. This way it doesn't matter if you need to do a full wipe.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GTRSkyR34:
No, I didn't touch nothing, just everyday use... But sometimes it just happend when I unlock him, I must type my SIM PIN, and everything worked normally..

That is what I thoung, make nandroid backup, but I'm not sure how to with titanium save my files.

I tried connect phone with PC, and PC recognize it, but when I open in My Computer portable device GT-I9100, it can't open because he disconnect him.

1st thing I will make nandroid. It's in backup and restore -> backup, right?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jayp33:
Not sure but this could mean the modem is not correct for the ROM. I have I9100XXKI1. I've been using the ROM for a few days without any problems except for one freeze in a game. I use kernel Dorimanx 7.45.

What do you mean? Which files exactly do you want to save?

---------- Post added at 07:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 PM ----------

That's correct.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GTRSkyR34:
I have Dorimanx 7.40, but I didn't change modem.

I would like to save messages, if is possible playlist in PowerAMP (I know it's seems stupid but it's very imported to me),.. I can't remember what else...

I tried make nandroid backup, but I get a message "Error while making a backup image of /data!
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jayp33:
This sounds pretty serious. I never had this with any device I ever used. I think either the file system got corrupted or some part of the hardware is broken.

Perhaps your SD card is defective? Try to "backup to internal storage".
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] GTRSkyR34:
Maybe I don't have enough free space, I have just 1GB free space.

I will try with another sdcard.

EDIT: It was successfully, what now?

I will flash stock 4.1.2 spain, will I have root?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] jayp33:
I don't know. Stock ROMS usually don't have root unless they're pre-rooted by some dev. Try to find a pre-rooted one if you want to use stock.

Just noticed the signature.... slim for i747m ? Am I missing something here? Doesn't show on slim website as compatible? If it is I'm buying a new phone lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
It will come with the fix but it won't come with GNow as stock, that'll still be an addon package for those that want it.

I posted something similar on the private RC forum about this memory leak. It is only noticeable to those that continually monitor their available memory. It doesn't affect day to day usage or at least hasn't with me and I never reboot my phone or turn it off except when I'm flashing something so not often. So many people complain about it because they've had it highlighted to them but if they'd not read about it somewhere else they never would've said a thing.

My advice is don't look for it and it'll probably never cause you an issue. The S2 has plenty of spare memory regardless whether 10MB is used or 600MB is used it's not stopping the phone from working or even slowing it down.

All I'll say is....new toy ;) it's probably not been added as it may not be finished yet but as he now has one it'll probably get supported because krarvind isn't one for leaving a phone he owns stock lol
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Mr. Corny:
Regarding Memory leak, as AvRS said it is not an issue in Slim Bean. I was previously on SuperNexus, and I needed to reboot a phone after few days of usage. Something I don't need on Slim Bean :)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] envying:
From my experience with all the JB ROM, JB has a bigger memory leaking problem than ICS after one or two days regular usage. Sorry, I am one of those guy keeps monitoring memory status...:p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
I'm one of those that don't buy into what other people moan about and 100% believe if no one mentioned this and started calling it a memory leak issue fewer people would be complaining. I've not restarted my phone since Sunday so for nearly 5 days use I've had no slow downs or noticed anything that would be classed as an issue in my everyday use. I believe that it's not affecting all ROM's in the same way so is more down to personal usage and the amount of crap people have on their phones. Memory usage is higher but isn't using all the memory and therefore makes no real difference in the real world. Maybe because most crap/bloat is stripped from Slim Bean no one has really even mentioned it since release. The question from Spacemonkie is the first reference to it that I can remember in this thread actually but that maybe because I have a built in sense to ignore individual posts and users like I do in the CM thread :p
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HANDSY:
Not exactly sure what memory leakage is but since first day of release I have not noticed any lag or slowing of any sort. I use my phone a lot for Facebook, XDA, ebay, amazon and my kids have their apps on here too. Plus it's the family camera also. I'm not a fan boy, I research and read before I sign up or buy into anything. If any neutrals are reading this thread and deciding whether to try it, then please do its very stable for the first release and can only get better. Keep up the good work to all those involved in the development of this ROM.

Yeah where you type the numbers for the letters in the name and it brings up the contacts. I for example typed 11 and it came up with Cam which it should do. I'm now on a test version but I don't believe there's been any contacts apk changes but I may be wrong. Will find out and come back to you.
