This ROM is phenomenal... coming from hellybean which I've been using since it first debuted... I've gotta say I'm both impressed and satisfied with Slim. I love HB but I'm not going back anytime soon... Thanks for all your hard work

I don't know why but i think im the only one having issues with this build. the first one is that every time i flash this build i don't get service or data. The second one is the battery life i saw a couple of post here from users of this rom saying that battery life is incredible, but for me it has been nothing out of the sky. just with the first issue of service and data its a huge problem i went and install the devil 4.2 kernel and the kb5 ics modem and got my phone working but the battery life was normal today when i left home at 10am my phone was at 85% of battery and only at two and a half hour later with no heavy use just like two 5mins calls and little app use my phone went from 85 to 50 something, so for that im not that impress as of now, i went back to an old build from the 2.2 and everything its great, i really wish i could enjoy this slimbean build as you all guys do, but i don't know why my results are very different than yours. I really hope that in a near future i can use this build an enjoy it too!!!

Thanks to all the devs who take time to make this awsome builds!!!

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -T959- [Build 3][March 29 2013]

As mentioned before battery life is probably due to kernel and mainline update to it, btw guys give a big thanks to stratosk for semaphore ;)

did anyone got lucky with deep idle? mine only does top-on and no top-off.....i think if we get it to work more miracles on battery life is going to happen.....but the problem seems to be bluetooth not being killed when i do force kill it too... anyone got any idea why?.

Openpdroid AutoPatcher 2.8.7 works with Slim Build 3 on vibrant, except MMS

Build 3 is good. I think I've finally found a Hellybean replacement. Beats AOKP too.

I was able to install Openpdroid via AutoPatcher 2.8.7, which works except for the MMS app (very common problem) where I got the usual force-close and had to patch in a stock MMS apk. After that, running fine.

Update: I had to give up on this rom because of an apparently bad kernel. Frequent hard hangs. The Hellybean kernel seems indestructible. I''ve tried Semaphore before, always had hangs and reboots.

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -T959- [Build 3][March 29 2013]

@PRB

SB 3.0 is the best build to date. Really enjoying this one. :D

The same happened for me using ApG to create the OpenPDroid patch - though amazingly there were no errors reported.

Mms wasn't even listed in TB, so I ended up restoring a saved mms via TB. But, I still had to install the Mms.apk from/system/app to get it working.

You can manually remove the two files (mentioned on Slim's FAQ - ie. refer to OP) via a root file manager (/system/etc/init.d).

Or ... run Semaphore Manager and clear init.d from the menu. This clears the entire init.d contents though.

Or ... in Semaphore's recovery, go to advanced > clear init.d. Should be somewhere in the advanced menu.
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
I asked twice. If SB flashes, it says "formatting system". Should it erase System including system/etc/init.d. I always Factory Reset and format system anyway unless its an incremental build

capacitive button timeout

Hello,

Is there a way to make the capacitive buttons (home, search, options, back) stay on longer? They turn off after a second or two, and it makes them hard to see. Ideally I'd like to just have them stay on when the screen is on.

Sorry it's not exactly a dev question, and thanks!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
No option for HW lights so far. I think NSTools in the market has an option for that if I remember correctly.

[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
u nub, of course i full wiped.
[Vibrant Android Development] Gysper:
Full Wipe:

Reboot into the CWM-Based Recovery (hold down power button ---> reboot ---> recovery), if its not there u have to enable in in developer settings. If there isn't developer settings, go to settings ---> about phone ---> pressed build number about 6 times until you enable it.

To full wipe, check wipe data/factory reset and say yes.

Then install ROM and then Slim GApps.

Reboot system.

Normally, if u dont have to full wipe (called a dirty flash), then all u would need to do is wipe cache partition & dalvik cache in most cases, flash ROM and reflash gapps.

Does anyone else have issues with their clock always FC'g? I just installed this ROM last night (coming from PA) and I haven't been able to access my alarms at all. Everything else is pretty smooth.

I pretty much cleared all my caches, did a format and fixed permissions before booting at installation. I have since tried to reinstall slimbean, reinstalled Gapps 3x and it still FC's when I try to set my alarms. Did I miss something?

[EDIT] nm, I went into rootzwiki and found the solution to my issue there (clear clock data).[/EDIT]

How do I enable debug mode in slimbean and how do I get reboot to recovery back into my reboot menu?

Those two options are inside the Development Section. Go into About Phone and hit the Build # 7 times until it says you're a developer, then go back to the main menu and it'll be there along with Performance settings

Awsome Rom/Kernel

I don't know why but a while ago my internal ram got messed up by an early JB rom. I was running this Rom from an SD card for about 3 months and then all of a sudden i got an error message about storage. My phone froze, i restarted it, and it kept rebooting into recovery.

Automagically my internal storage started working with all of my old files and pics still on it. So i restored it to stock with odin, flashed recovery, and reflashed this rom. Now i'm happily running off my internal storage again. i'm super happy and will probably stay with this rom just out of gratitude....plus it's awsome.
[Vibrant Android Development] nomadman:

[Vibrant Android Development] norbi757:
haha, same here. ofcourse it used to be my phone tho ;P
[Vibrant Android Development] bryantthesmith:
I have seen this once in a while with PlayerPro. I think it might have to do with the aggressive way memory is managed. The ROM (or maybe the kernel) likes to kill things that it thinks are not being used (like the home screen). I have had a case where a game I am playing needs to load Facebook for authorization and by the time Facebook has loaded and authorized, the original app has been killed by the system so it exits to the home screen rather than going back to the game. Makes it hard to use sometimes, but other times I appreciate the ability it has to free up memory on these low memory devices.

You might be able to get around this a bit by putting a PlayerPro widget on the home screen. Widgets don't get killed off as much as other apps.
[Vibrant Android Development] flapane:
Yep, I think so. The same thing happens with Sportstracker PRO and an app that allows BT GPS to works as if it was an integrated GPS. They are closed as soon as you switch to another app.

I may try to fine-tune the settings or try another kernel, but I don't have much time in these weeks, so in the meanwhile I reverted back to CM10 which works good.

Yes, I knew it would require this and I am already planning on it. Still, with it being a persistent problem across different complete re-installs I would really like to know what is causing the problem. Granted, this time it is notably worse but it the problem has been the same even if different in severity. I don't want to spend a bunch of time if it just going to happen again, only to have to do a re-install over and still be in the same predicament.

I had thought that maybe the SIM card has been corrupted or otherwise damaged but after putting it into a different phone it acted completely normal. So that option seems unlikely. What are the other possible causes for this? The only thing I can think of is leaving the SIM card in and not removing it before the install? Again, I do not migrate system data but could a user app somehow cause this? I do not use apps that in any way modify my phone/text services (i.e. Talk At One or any such services).

Thanks again for any help as I would really like to diagnose the problem before another complete re-install.

Well, I tried just clearing the cache and Davlik Cache just to see if it helped at all and it seems to have fixed the problem, if only temporarily. I am watching it closely and will report back if continues to work fine or if it starts acting up again.

In the meantime, does that help pinpoint what the problem might be?

[Edit] Well, quite a few hours later and at best it only happens once in a great while, i.e. roughly the same as it did the last install (Build 3). What could the problem be that wiping the caches fixed it?
