I'm curious on how to tweak the lulzactive CPU governor on the SlimBean ROM. I just installed it a few days ago and its great, but I was reading somewhere about how you should "tame" the lulzactive governor or else there will be excessive battery drain. Did the dev already tweak the lulzactive governor in SlimBean or should the user tweak it himself?

Also I'm curious if the lulzactive in SlimBean is the older version or the newer version that allows more user control.

Thanks in advance!

Question, do you multi-task much when using this phone? I ask because things are always fine with JB until I start doing more than one thing at once or too many Gapps such as GNow or Maps run in the background at the same time. I could never get Dolphin, Gnow and any music player like Poweramp to run simultaneously without the phone freezing up on JB. Of course I always tried every memory tweak in the book too.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] BrandonCormier:
Does greenify work all that well for battery life? Whenever I have tried jb I have major battery drain issues. Right now on peach I can get about 2 days of battery life (though usually a little less). When I ran jb I was getting about 8 hours or so, which is a huge difference. I want to use jb but the battery drain makes it not worth it. I have heard multiple people say they can get a 3% drop in 8 hours but I am not sure how they achieved this. If someone could write a post out how to maximize battery life on jb or ics that would be really helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
If you don't use use your phone at all during that time frame, turn off wifi, BT & GPS and don't have any Gapps running in the background while the phone is on standby, yes that kind of battery life can be achieved. Some people will do that overnight but during the day that's not realistic unless you just have no need for the phone then either. If you're going to go that length seems to me you should just turn the phone off, then you have 0% drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
the only reason and i mean ONLY reason jb has fc issues is because its not an official firmware from samsung for this phone. every cm rom for every device has some sort of problems it doesnt matter if its n4, s3, note2 etc. cm is an after market firmware that is not perfect for any phone it is made for. so if you want something that is stable run gb but imo performance is a lot better on jb. nothing fcs or lags with me on my phone. i run rootbox with tims 2.6 kernel that i have made modifications to since we work together on it. i also have atleast 50-60 mb ram free at all time even with 10 apps open
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
I ran the same setup you have now, and it worked fine until one day it boot looped non-stop for whatever reason(s).If not for that I might have stuck with it but at that point enough was enough. Bottom line, in my case, is that no JB ROM has ever proven to be lag free & stable. Available memory was so bad widgets FC every few seconds too. If I set a lower min free, lag became overwhelming. It just felt like rolling that rock up the hill that you know will never make it to the top and will fall to the bottom sooner than later.

I also want to note there are several people who swear by some of these JB ROMs and then switch between them non-stop. If it's working so great, I don't think they'd be using something different all the time.When I switched like I did, it was because I was trying to find something better. I think most people switch for that same reason. Not everyone, but most.

If you're enjoying it, lag or no, then by all means good for you. My issues are when people know what they are getting into, and then still harp on the same problems that's always been around for MOST users. Then ask the devs to do something about it. Either be grateful for what we have or use something else. That was my main point.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
Yea don't get me wrong I'm not hating on you. People will run what they like. I do agree with you on many points you made but remember a constant reboot prob could be a rogue app

APN fix

Newbie poster here but a longtime follower of this forum...

Found a fix for an APN issue where I had no data after installing slimbean (Cyanogen 10 too) and no way to store a new APN. After a day and a half of google and trying every fix listed. it turns out that the fix was to disable the SIM lock. Then after a reboot I had a data connection and all was good. I believe my issue is because of a very old SIM - possible from 2001 that may be incompatible with jelly bean. Anyways just wanted to share that as a workable option for anyone out there who finds themselves without APNs listed with this rom.

Just another note - Slim gapps linked in the op did not work for me = it would not access google accounts setup from initial boot and was never able to make it work after so I followed somone's advice to use the gapps released on 10122012. BTW, so far I really like slimbean and I want to send out a thanks to all the devs!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
OK well I just had issues with CM7 today which I posted over there (not with lag, but wifi). Rather than rehash the details here again suffice to say I have to "unretire" and try something else yet AGAIN. I'd say RR but no OC kernel which I do enjoy having. Guess it's back to JB of some sort. Least I get to see if the 3.0 kernel makes a difference or not. Lag or not I'm out of options.

I think it's just funny after having this discussion I have to crawl back to a JB ROM yet again.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] BrandonCormier:
Why don't you just use peach?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
Just never liked it, and got FCs every so often. It has a lot of fans, just isn't for me. If I was going for a GB ROM with no OC kernel, it'd be RR.

I just got everything going with CM10 using Tim's 3.0 kernel. Compared to the last time I used this I like it better already. Now let's see what happens a week from now. I've got a belly full from eating my words all the time.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Neoxal:
Uh...so is the lock up when turning airplane mode on an issue that can be fixed? If not, I don't mind it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
Getting ready to test new build with wifi tethering and hopefully no issue on airplane mode new kernel 3.0.66 and new splash screen
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Neoxal:
Wow, new build already? And thanks for the quick reply lol. My other post kinda got mobbed by countless posts about JB vs GB performance. Thanks for all your work!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
New build is up.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Neoxal:
Switching from and to airplane mode does work fine now without any hitches on the new build if anyone was wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
When going from the 0220 build to the 0225 build, is a full wipe still necessary? I'm guessing yes since the kernel version was updated, even though it was a minor update.

I am pretty satisfied with the 3.0.x kernel Slimbean thus far. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] detdett:
The op does say full wipes needed...

How to update to 0225 build

I used this to update my SlimBean ROM from the 0222 to the 0225 build without having to completely re-configure my device. This restores all apps, settings, contacts, SMS, call logs, and account information (as long as you install gapps before restoring data). Only caveat is that system apps are re-installed if you removed them before. (for example, i removed the live wallpapers along with other items that I would never use. These were re-installed)

1. Download SlimBean zip installer

2. retrieve the kernel, GAPPS, MODS, and addons that are currently installed on your device

3. reboot into cwm

4. create a backup

5. romwipe, wipe cache and dalvik

6. install new slimbean version

7. DO NOT REBOOT -- reinstall the kernel (if you use a different one, i use DBK), GAPPS, MODS, and addons

8. DO NOT REBOOT YET -- go into backup and restore

9. select advanced restore

10. pick your backup from step 4, restore data

11. After restore is done, reboot device.

I used this and all my settings were exactly where I left them. I had to re-supercharge it with V6 and remove the system apps (live wallpapers, etc) that are reinstalled with the ROM. But it was much less painful than re-installing and re-configuring the entire system.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
Wow!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
yea thats an old trick but becareful it can cause instability in cases so please dont blame the rom if you go with that method
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
Well, I decided to not do a wipe of the 20130220 ROM. I just flashed the 20130225 build on top of it. If it didn't work, I really hadn't lost much. So far it seems just fine. I can use wifi tethering and airplane mode just fine.

So far, so good. If I start seeing problems that others aren't then I will do a ROM wipe and start again.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Neoxal:
Perhaps the full wipe only applied for going from the 2.6 kernel to the 3.0 kernel? I always do a full wipe anyways just to have less factors in any issues I get, just a personal preference.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] camcory:
Probably wont the upgrade from 2.6 to 3.0 is alot different that 3.0.64 to 3.0.66
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] an0maly13:
What would be the consequences of instability? If I ever experience any problems, I could just easily restore to an old backup, correct?

CM9 CamerHal for 3rd party camera apps and mobile banking

Here you go Cam. Don't forget to post it for others this time.. LOL.

CM9 CameraHal for CM10 based roms to include RootBox, SlimBean, MiUi, etc....

https://www.dropbox.com/s/e96oa57az793h3z/camerahal.slimbean.zip

Just flash this in recovery. Remember that if you make a nandroid of your system with this file in it, don't forget to reflash this file if you have to use that nandroid. There is something in all recoveries that restores the original libcamera.so file that is this file.

Antutu benchmark crashing?

I flashed the 0225 build and tried to use the Antutu benchmark program only to have it crash. Since I had flashed over the previous version, I thought that it would be best to do a complete wipe and flash the 0225 version again. I did this and Antutu still crashed.

Has anyone else seen this? That is the only issue I have had. Could just as well be an Antutu issue, I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
antutu issue it works whenever it wants to

Isn't that the truth .. LOL ...

newbie here.

using Jocala's Peach Sunrise 3.01 for some time with CWM 6.0.1.2. Now, I want to try out the Slimbean. I do not have any data that I like to save or backup.

1) Do I need to update CWM

2) is TWRP better and should I update to TWRP? can it be installed since I have already CWM

3) how do I wipe internal SD, is it safe to format internal SD? I know, I have lot of junk folders that I like to clean up the mess.

4) I understand, I will need the slim GAPPS, do I need any additional zips? OP mods/themes/gapps link directs to show several files, ie. AIO and EXTRAS, do I need to get also those too?

thanks for your help, I appreciated,

I prefer twrp smart guy released the latest on team insomnia in twrp there is factory reset that wipes then install slim and slim gapps then youb are good to go

Do the 2.3 nandroids work with smartguy's release?

Yeah I don't see why not? If you use any previous twrp recovery im sure future build will.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smithrock:
I made a nanroid backup of my current Peach Sunrise using CWM 6.0.1.2.

I would like to install TWRP and try out the Slimbean. I also understand that I cannot restore the backup file created by CWM using TWRP.

So, for any reasons, if I need to restore the old backup file created by CWM, would I be able to re-install CWM from TWRP and then restore the backup using CWM?

thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Mwas.:
Install TWRP and make a nandroid using it. And since you're thinking of formatting your sdcard, copy your nandroid to your computer to avoid disaster.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] wrusry:
Nailed it!

Cam,

I think you nailed it with this last build.

On the Slim-3.1.0-ancora_tmo-20121203-2102-UNOFFICIAL.zip and the Slim-3.1.0-ancora_tmo-20130220-UNOFFICIAL.zip build I almost always had issues with the wifi thinking it was still connected when I left the house. This didn't always happen, but most of the time it did. I would then have to manually disable wifi and then my data would usually, but not always kick in. Sometimes a reboot was necessary. Sometimes these builds would work just fine in this regard, but that seemed to be a minority of the time.

The 20130225 build seems to have fixed this issue for me. That was my only real complaint for the December build. The other day, I flashed the 0225 build over the 0220 build. I reported it working well with the exception of Antutu not working. In addition, the initialization of the voice to text feature on my keyboard was very slow. I decided to flash the 0225 build after a full wipe and Antutu works now. Also the initialization of the voice to text is much better (but still a bit slow). All in all, I am very happy. Thank you.

This is what I flashed for this past build and the order:

Slim-3.1.0-ancora_tmo-20130225-UNOFFICIAL.zip

gapps-jb-20121011-signed.zip

gapps-jb-picasa-20121011-signed.zip

Previously for the 20121203 build, I had to also flash:

SREC_VoiceDialer_Addon_GoogleNow.zip (in order to have the nice female voice instead of robotic sounding one)

Extras.zip (to get email app and weather and news widget)

It was nice not to have to flash these two this time.

My battery performance is very good when connected to wifi. I haven't tested to see if it is not very good when away from wifi like the previous builds. I will still use the apps: "smart wifi toggler" and "autosync free" to turn off my wifi and my sync when I am away from the house. That substantially increases my battery life, even with google now running (which I like).

Thanks for the hard work.

I would be curious if anyone else has a small lag on the voice to text from the keyboard (I have no lag on the google search voice to text feature).

EDIT: There is no lag in the functionality of the voice to text from the keyboard. There is a lag in it turning "red" to indicate it is ready. So, there is a display lag, but not a functionality lag.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] darkynk:

Where can I find TWRP for this phone?

I looked at the first post at this thread [UPDATED] Samsung Galaxy Exhibit ROM's and Recoveries Thread

but the link for TWRP does not appear to be valid.

thanks for your help.

Here is the newest and best looking version of TWRP as of now. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] HoustonsBirdman:
Hey guys, just a couple questions.. First off I'd like to say I don't have a T679, my wife does. (I have a T989). I want to put a ROM on my wife's phone, she is still running stock 2.3.6 rooted. Although I understand that ROMs are "work in progress" from flashing quite a few ROMs on my SGS2, I am looking for a so to speak highly "recommended" ROM for my wife's phone other than GB that can be used as a DD. Something "stable". .. Although I've flashed ROMs, I've never used different kernels nor have I OC'd anything, I typically do a bunch of reading of threads, posts and replies to determine whether or not I want to flash a certain ROM... My dilemma is I don't know too much about her T679.. From what I've seen on XDA regarding her phone isn't a whole lot (as oppose to the 989 which has a bunch of ROMs and literally thousands of posts to read thru)... Between the "most popular" ROMs for the T679 which ROM do you think is a good starting point? I'm not afraid to flash a few to find what "suits her" (or me), but I guess my main concern is do I have to flash kernels separate and is it more or less a must to OC?? (The kernels things is more of my question).. Thanks to any and all responses!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smithrock:
Thanks,

Could you please help me how do I install the TWRP recovery from CWM?

I have downloaded the TWRP-SGE-v2.zip.

copy this to sdcard, then boot into CWM, install zip from sdcard, and pick the zip file.

are these correct steps? I just want to verify because I am afraid what if do something wrong and cannot boot back again into recovery.

thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Neoxal:
Personally, I would recommend either the latest Slimbean or CM10 as they are the most up to date ROMs currently. They also both have little to no bugs in my experience with them both. Also, OC depends on her usage. If she is a power user, I would recommend OCing, but if not, the 3.0.66 works well. For me, I don't have to OC as I only use my phone for music, a few games, and texting mostly. Temple Run 2 has very little lag, if any, while playing with the 3.0.66 kernel included in the latest Slimbean build.

EDIT: @smithrock: Yep, those are the correct steps. Once you do that, if you reboot into recovery, it'll be TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
yes just like installing a rom
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smithrock:
yes, it worked and now I am into TWRP recovery.

Thanks to you and also to Neoxal for helping me out. appreciated,

Fantastic update; secret sauce? Goodbye lag

Holy moses, I like this update. I had been using the first Slimbean ROM for a couple months, and was liking it OK, but having to deal with periodic lag by applying lots of tweaks, using FastReboot to keep RAM free, and other gyrations. I had to use Opera, since Chrome seemed terminally laggy. But last night, after installing TWRP and doing a nandroid, then doing double wipes of everything, I loaded the latest version of Slimbean. Holy Toledo, it's great so far.

What's the secret sauce that removed the lag issues? I haven't made any tweaks at all yet and haven't had to use FastReboot or AppCacheCleaner to free things up. It seems to be running fast and smooth with no modifications. What's the secret? How'd you do it?

Kudos to Team Insomnia. Love it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] ArtfulDodger:
The secret is sometimes the less tweaks the better! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] motorapido:
I pledge tweak-free; bone-stock Slimbean for me

Yeah, I will now pledge to stay tweak-free, and keep my newly updated Slimbean bone stock. It's running perfectly. Dr. Slimbean knows how to cure this Exhibit of its slowness and lagginess, and I won't make any modifications of my own. All hail to the update Slimbean ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] HoustonsBirdman:
I think my mind is made up.. This will be the ROM I flash on my wife's T679. A statement like this quote says a lot. I have already flashed TWRP on her phone last night but she was out of space at that point internal and external. So I will be buying her a minimum of a 8gb SD so she can have all her pics and apps moved to free up the internal memory.. This will be her first ROM used and hopefully she likes the end result! Thanks to the Devs working with the T679. Especially since it doesn't seem nearly as popular as like my Hercules
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Neoxal:
I dont know for sure, but I think its the kernel update honestly. I never use any tweaks other than OC on any ROM and the 3.0 kernel included in Slimbean is significantly faster than anything else. Even thoughh benchmarks didnt go up much, actual performance in multitasking, game performance, and genral use did improve.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
^^^^ placebo :p
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Neoxal:
Lol a little bit I guess :P But my only actual evidence that the kernel improved performance significantly was that Temple Run 2 was kinda laggy on the 2.6 kernel, but quite near flawless(blips sometimes) with the 3.0 kernel. I don't use any other tweaks so couldn't have been anything else.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] smartguy044:
haha yea its prob slightly better but its not the best thing since slice bread haha
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rollinghills:
Must concur Slimbean 3.x kernel is super smooth. Way better than the stock T-Mobile version. Though I have no prior experience with any other version but this is really great. Handles RAM extremely well. Right now have 143MB free though I don't really run or install background apps.

Just one thing does the move to SD option not move the apps to the add-on SD card? I'm not seeing any of the apps on the card. Where does it move to? Doesn't look like it's in the internal SD(sdcard0) either.

Sorry another question. Does the camera not save pictures to the add-on SD card after selecting SD card for storage? I'm looking under Device-->Storage and it shows the pictures are under Internal Storage and nothing on the add-on card, even though the pictures are under SDCard1 in File Explorer. Is SDCard1 the add-on card?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TheTofu:
By default it'll move it to the internal SD, if you want it on your external SD then you have to use SwapSD to swap the mounting points. I don't know where it puts it on the SD card but so long as it works I don't really care.

If you search on the forum you can find a link for SwapSD pretty easily.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
Pretty sure they go in the android secure folder.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Allen3697:
How do you have that much RAM? I only have 70 right now
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] rollinghills:
I have no idea about the ram amount. It is...just there. lol. I don't do too much with my phone maybe that's why, but I'll say upon reboot it was 150MB free. Well I do have the slightly older version of the ROM the one where Exchange mail got fixed.

Anyway pictures do save to the add-on card. I confirmed it by removing the card and reboot but still shows up under internal storage (1.62GB). Weird.

Edit: Found SwapSD on the first post of the Cyanogenmod 10 thread. Can I use that one? Is the safe to swap the SD card storage as is or do I have to wipe everything and start fresh? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] TheTofu:
If you moved any apps to SD then they'll be on the internal SD and you'll want to either move them back or copy the files to your external SD. Other than that it should work without any hassle.

Quick question, what files do I need to get me going with the basic installation>

I am little confused when I look at modes/themes/gapps area, there are about 7 files listed.

I tried following two to start with:

1) Slim-3.1.0-ancora_tmo-20130225-UNOFFICIAL

2) slim_Gapps

When it boots up, it is giving me some message something like two boxes regarding launcher....

So, then I tried to install above two and file labeled "extra" (I guess, extra has the launcher?)

then I saw AIO file (does this file have all 7 files that are under modes/gaps link area)?

another words, if get the rom file and AIO, then I will be set?

thanks in advance.
