Woah, I cant believe how fast this ROM is!

Is ums storage ever going to work? I have to boot into recovery each time I want to transfer something to the server card as mtp is very unstable for me.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fronti90:
you could flash dorimanx and set default mode to mass storage using extweaks
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
How are you installing 2.9? Which gapps are you flashing? Are you flashing any other kernel or mods?

Have you tried:

(suggest creating nandroid backup first, as this method wipes a lot of stuff!)

1. Boot recovery

2. Goto "mounts and storage"

3. Mount /system

4. Format /system

5. Flash SlimBean 2.9

6. Flash 2.9 gapps

7. Wipe cache

8. Wipe dalvik cache

9. Reboot

This should ensure a nice clean system install.

If this still doesn't work... Then something may be "corrupted" in your user data. Possibly UI settings based on the Logcat...

In this case, Repeat, but before Step 2, do a "wipe data/factory reset" (hence the note about nandroid backup!)

You may also want to backup user data using TB, but you may find that restoring it causes problems again... Although you should be able to narrow down where the problem is by restoring one at a time and rebooting in between...

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CanadaJim:
While I did most of what you mention above, I believe that mounting/formatting system is irrelevant since the install does that for you. I can confirm that the formatting of /system works since the only mod I normally install gets removed with the new Slim install. This mod is the SGS3 TouchWiz Clock.

I had real dark slim gapps plus the gnow/voice dialer addons installed on 2.8, and so didn't install gapps or mods after the 2.9 upgrade.

I was very interested in the crash, which visually happens right after "Starting Apps" and right before "Finishing" on a successful upgrade. They mention lots about UI and status bar... Just bizarre.

And the funniest part is that reinstalling 2.8 is perfect, right overtop of the 2.9 attempt. Noted that there are 175 files to update with 2.8, and 177 files on 2.9, but don't know if the extra 2 files in 2.9 are related at all.

I'm certain that a full wipe/install will work, but I think it would be good for the team to understand why this happens to make sure upgrades are as flawless as possible in the future.

If you don't want to pursue further, I understand... Just let me know either way. I am willing to be your guinea pig and figure this out if you like.

Cheers...

Jim
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] HardCorePawn:
Yes... and No... ;)

Before /system is formatted, the new "backup" scripts are running... based on a (admittedly very quick) look through these scripts, a whole bunch of stuff is backed up out of various subfolders under /system (mostly Gapps related)... this is then put it back after the format and Slim install... so it might be putting back something that is either broken or incompatible...

This is the reason why Krarvind originally posted "well as i said in how to install, do a full wipe and manual format system, then flash before posting it as an issue."

So, can you please try manually mounting and formatting /system... and then flash Slim *and* Slim Gapps... (I'm using real dark slim gapps as well :good:)

So are you getting the issue where it just sticks on boot logo? Or are you getting a different type of "crash"?? (lots of FC messages or something?) :confused:
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mcmanuf:
But that kernel is not supported in slim.. Is it as stable as cm10 kernel
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] CanadaJim:
Thanks for clearing that up about the format. So after doing that, installing just ROM, dark gapps and dark GNow+, it boots, goes through "Optimizing" 177 files, "Starting apps", and...... and... :fingers-crossed: and....... :crying: back to the Slim logo. Never got to "Finished".

So, I guess it's a full wipe for me. But not tonight. I'll just reflash 2.8 overtop (+ mods) and get to it tomorrow. Unless you want me to try anything else or send a new logcat.

Cheers...

What are you talking about? Dorimanx is probably the only kernel other than stock that works properly and well with slimbean. Currently they are on version 7.6 I believe (which is what I'm using). I had to switch to dorimanx because I was getting a number of SoDs. The only upshoot is that the front camera still FC's when I try to take a shot, contrary to what some others are saying (that it works fine). I haven't tried a full wipe though, because it doesn't bug me too much, just a minor inconvenience.

softboots?

Anyone getting soft boots with 2.9? Flashed the 2.9 top of 2.8. with darkie.. wiped cache and dalvik
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] netban:
FFS people, if problems arise, then full wipe. Its as simple as that. If problems persist, then you may report.

SGSII - Dorimanx - Slim Bean - AOKP
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] mcmanuf:
I'm talking about "official" support by the slim team. I know it does work from all the posts in here, but what is the reasoning in choosing cm10 kernel? Also from the feature set of dorimanx its got a lot of "bells and whistles".. I don't need all that as I'm mainly interested in a stable kernel with minimal featureset. Maybe that's the reason of choosing cm10 as default kernel?

Also I think it's interesting that slim on the sgs uses semaphore kernel and not cm10?

I just flashed the blue icon themes from the website over Slim Bean 2.9 and it works fine apart from the icon for the phone to vibrate only is still in white. Is it possible to get the theme updated so all the icons now in Slim Bean can be themed blue?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
Cyberboob said that was done intentionally so he may or may not change it. Post it in the mods thread and see what he says.

Ill have to install dormanx kernel just to be able to transfer large files to my external sd.

The idea of mtp is great. But works like a piece of s... on my pc and cant transfer more than ~5 mp3 before it crashes. This is unbearable in the long run :(

And I hate to transfer via FTP and wifi!

Guess ill give dormanx 7.8 a spin.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] Ghost-of-the-Sun:
Slim Bean with Dorimanx works just great
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] m4psycho:
I believe one of the big reasons why they switched to the CM10 kernel was to incorporate some of the major fixes such as the memory leak. And since at the time the only kernel that worked with that fix (among others) was the CM10 one, then they started using that by default. "Official" support has only ever been for a single kernel. They do a great job with the release as it is and don't have time to "officially" support multiple kernels.

On a related note, it might come with a lot of bells and whistles, but you don't need to actually use them. As people have reported, stability is good and if it works then that's all you need. Heck I don't actually use anything kernel specific after I flash it. I'm just looking for stability that's all.

APN List empty

Hello,

been using this ROM for a couple of days and I have encountered this little problem. The Internet is down in my apartment so I've been using my phone to tether to my iPad. This works great but just a few moments ago I have encountered strange issue. The phone's Bluetooth connected to the iPad but data connection was not active on te phone. When I tried to find the reason I discovered that the APN list is totally empty. After restart, the APN list was populated once again.

Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again? Would a custom kernel help? Currently running 2.9 with all addons. Clean install. Stock.

No Camera

I just installed 2.9 on top of 2.7, I don't seem to have a camera or gallery app.

I opened up the rom zip and the aio zip and can't see an app called 'camera', I'm sure I must be missing something obvious but what and where? :confused:

SD unmounting/mounting on wake

Ever since I installed dorimanx 7.8 to be able to use ums I have only experiecned so many problems I regret I installed it to begin with.

1) UMS did work after i installed extweaks and forced usb ode to UMS.

2) Whenever I wake my phone from sleep I can see the icons regarding usb mounting and unmounting. It doesnt matter if a usb cable is plugged in or not.

3) I reverted to Slim 2.9 but the problems still persists. Whenever I wake the phone after it has been asleep, I can see the sdcard is unmounted and then mounted again. So it seems dorimanx has left some residue in the system. Also I was suddenly able to mount the sdcard as ums in CM10 kernel? Very strange indeed.

4) I reinstalled dorimanx and in extweaks i reverted usb default mode to "force mtp". I stille have the unmounting problem with the SD.

Any idea what I should do?

I could wipe, but dont really see the idea in wiping a perfectly good working /data/data partition. But then again, installing slim should wipe /system partition, so I dont understand how dorimanx could leave residue after installing slim.?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fabry83:
thank krarvind for the good work! the phone with your rom is very amazing and fast!

maybe the best rom for sgs2..
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] cyberboob:
If he's talking about the blue ones from SlimRom website, then I don't think I have anything to do with those... though I noticed the same thing with mine before. That has to do with the naming krarvind uses (and call codes per toggle setting). What I mean is, if the coding language that calls for the vibrate on toggle is pointing to the name of the off/regular toggle, then that is what you will see.

You can try renaming the blue icon for it to the off one and see if it shows up right.

(I can't test it now as currently using/testing a couple of other roms)

**not sure if I explained it right or made it more complicated lol :eek:

[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
If you're going to try expect a few issues, personally I'd just push the things you want manually but make a backup just in case. Normally non Slim Gapps cause issues. The latest Google Now should've auto updated through the Play Store as mine has? It's not a 4.2 feature but is just a normal update to the current version.

Google Now is a separate package from the downloads section of the Slim site it's not in GApps.

Anyone else?
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] AvRS:
You're right and this isn't the only ROM affected (seen in AOKP ROM's) so I believe it's an issue with AOKP source where this is taken from. I'd suggest using Extweaks to set any kernel options as this works fine if you're still on Siyah.

Same on my side and as I understand from Avrs explanation I have several Softboots ( the Slim bootanimation comes up and after some while the homescreen) per day. Therefore I did a complete backup again and full wipe to check again, but with the same result. I figgured out I have this mostly when the S2 is connected with the powerplug or when I transfer data like the Backup of Titanium to my dropbox.

I also tested SiyahKernel S2-v4.1.1 (here I had the most softreeboots), Dream 2.7.2 ( also several reboots) but still the Kernel with less reboots is the one who came within Slim Bean.

Is there a way to provide more data / information here, like is there an dump after an softreboot?

Are you using Holo launcher by any chance? I only use the stock JB launcher so never have issues and just thought maybe there's an issue with Holo launcher and GNow? I've got no other suggestions so will leave it to someone else to take over as I don't use the stock setup either so probably not much use.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] m4psycho:
I'm using Holo launcher and it works no problem. I also installed google now from the package from a long time ago (build 2.4 at least), and haven't reinstalled it since.

Edit: mxn: have you actually used google now before? Because it is not an app in itself that will show up in your app list. It should show up under an app labelled just "Google", for the Google voice search. You have to open that app up and then go to the options (menu button) to enable Google now.

Thank you mate, always prompt and precise replies from you :)

I'll wait for the slim team to officially release them, the only ones I am really interested in are the calendar (which will be updated through play store I guess since it can be found there) and Now

About the second one.. The latest update I got from play store is about 8 days old, but afaik the 4.2 version has more cards, though I can't remember exactly which ones. Maybe one is the pedometer function I saw in some blogs, and that I don't see yet?

Yeah Calendar seems to have gone to a separate app now so will no doubt be released through the Play Store as per the last update did.

This is the latest one and the new cards are reservations such as hotel and flight info taken direct from GMail emails. It's all there don't worry and was announced/released on the 29th with the new Nexus devices. If they add anything further it'll again be updated via Play Store so no need for other packages.

Android is upgrading.....

Hi,

I need to consult the gurus. Every time I reboot into SlimBean, after the boot animation, I get 4 minutes of "Android is upgrading - optimizing app x of 163." This is the very same thing I would see if I wiped the Dalvik cache. It doesn't do that on my other ROM, NeatROM lite. It has been doing this ever since I upgraded to 2.9 with really dark gapps. That was a messy process and I ended up having to do a full wipe/format before I could get 2.9 installed. And then, because Titanium couldn't see my backup, I ended up restoring my apps by importing from a nandroid backup. I only mention that because something is wierd with the apps.

The ROM however is fabulous - fast, hardly uses battery. I couldn't ask for more - well, except for not having to go through a 5 minute reboot.

I assume that there might be a script calling an Android process, but the script is storing the results in the wrong subdirectory so every time I boot, it doesn't find the results where it expects to find them and thereby runs the whole process over again. (I'm making this up - actually I have no idea, but that's my wild guess).

Does anybody have a clue???
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] trveller72:
Check in extweaks if you have an option to wipe dalvik on boot.
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] fronti90:
are any start-up tweaks enabled? (settings->performance->start-up tweaks)
[Galaxy S II Original Android Development] quijote1:
I previously had start-up tweaks enabled, but the only one tagged was the improvement of SD card reading. But then I disabled all start-up tweaks. I just installed the newest Dorimanx kernel and the "Android is upgrading" routine ran again. So start-up tweaks aren't the culprit...

Thanks, though....
