Great rom, just tried out the RC1, coming from 4.1.2 Slim.

A few comments:

1) Would be great to have the Cronus night mode feature available in the notification bar quick settings menu.

2) I'll be running 4.1.2 till the Cronus alarm function is working, get force close when I click alarm icon in the cronus screen

3) Swiftkey dictionary problem started happening to me just today, on both 4.1.2 and 4.2. As above, language update fixes it till reboot.

thanks for the great work!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well

1) Maybe in the future.

2) Works just fine on both my devices. I'd recommend you wipe app data (chronus and clock) or simply wipe before flashing.

3) Again works fine on both my devices.

Cheers

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

Sweet! I wasn't sure if it was possible to put it up there or not.

I'll wipe the clock data, would be stoked cause there are a lot of features I like about the latest version. As for swiftkey, definitely a app issue rather than rom, hoping a wipe or reinstall will fix; just weird its happening all of a sudden, even before flashing the new slim.

Again good job slim team, keeping it simple and smooth. Donations coming soon!
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
So I installed RC1 this morning and my phone's been pretty smooth. I dropped my LiveOC down to 115% since 120% won't let me play games. Wild Blood runs better then I ever imagined it could on my Cappy. Needless to say it's still not as smooth as I would like, but it's more playable then I'm used to.

Haven't experienced any of the issues anyone else has mentioned other then the disappearing dictionaries with SwiftKey Flow. Nice work. :good:

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

I'm starting to think that's a app problem. I use it on both my devices and haven't seen that problem, nor my testers, but I've seen it on other threads and across a few devices/roms. Not sure yet.

[Captivate Android Development] BxingFetus:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

Battery has been great for me, try running your phone without the network on just cell service. When I do that with my Cappy battery consumption goes down a fair bit for me. And I know this isn't practiced a lot but I also erase my battery stats as well after each flash. And I always flash on a full battery too and I've not had any battery problems ever on this device. Stock battery, phone is a little over 2 years old now.

I'm not having any trouble with battery life. Do a search for better battery stats and install it. Then let it run for a while and it should help you track down what is causing the drain.
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
maybe a noob question, but what is inverted gapps update for? i format system, flash RC1, flash slim gapps (12-22-2012), then everything works well so far. so now what is that for? just wanna be sure before doing anything to my wife's cappy, or she would have no phone to use if i mess it up :D

sorry if this's discussed somewhere already. thanks.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

Same gapps, just inverted colors. Black background, which some find more appealing and easy to read. The dark background saves on battery life also, since less pixels turned on Either gapps package will work just fine.

[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I'm impressed though it might be a fluke -- I tend to get pretty decent battery stats (from my point of view anyways) shortly after flashing for some strange reason but then it drops way back down to what I'm used to -- 16 hours on battery and at 21% left. That's with streaming radio/music with iHeart Radio and MiMedia periodically throughout the day and checking Twitter during my breaks.

I have been away from Flashing lately but today I saw the new RC1 for Slim Bean. I was on Slim Bean 3.1 and the Flash went great to RC1 of the new ROM but I get message "process com.google.process.gapps has stopped" and "clock has stopped" When I flashed I just Wiped cache and Wiped davik. What do I need to do to correct this problem. Sorry if this has been asked before.

Im not crazy about the Chronus clock, I made a TiBu of my clock and restore it but Chronus overrides it. Is there a way to uninstall Chronus so my clock will work?

In the menu I dont see how to turn off GPS? Can someone tell me where to find it? lol

Cant access Play store through WiFi??

Still havent figured out what my battery problem is so Im going to post this snapshot and maybe someone can give me ideas?

Thanks!

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

I just wiped the clock data to solve the force closes. But a full wipe would eliminate those problems.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

Freeze chronus in tibu.

Location access for gps. You can also add it to your quick settings toggles.

It looks like you've tried some things for your battery already, but if you haven't tried a fresh install with a full wipe, give it a shot. I'm getting pretty normal battery life with this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

The fact that android OS is your highest drain could be due to your GPS being on and apps in turn trying to access your location. But that being said it could be a lot of things. Better battery stats is a good app to pinpoint what is using your battery and more specifically what's keeping it from going to sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] RonH54:
I know I am just overlooking it but where is the Debugging Option? My computer is not recognizing my phone with RC1. Also I don't have Market App so I try to use Search to download it but my Keyboard does not appear so I can do Search.

EDIT: I found the Developer Option but Computer still not seeing phone?

I did freeze Chronus in tibu and it goes away for a bit but then comes back? lol

Did a fresh install with full life, turned off GPS, hopefully that helps.

Slim-I897-4.2.1.RC.1

First of all, hats off to prbassplayer for bringing this rom to our cappies. I find it to be the fastest booting/rebooting rom of any I've tried, and it runs very smoothly. I had tried Slim ICS and for whatever reason could not get comfortable with it... I ported F4k's ICS rom over from i9000 and it ran so well with Devil kernel that I kept that combo through the fall to the end of 2012. The itch to flash JB grew too much to ignore, and I am really liking this SlimBean/Semaphore combo right now. :grin:

Strangely enough, I initially ran into the capacitive key issue SunnyOK previously mentioned- Home button lighting up but not performing any functions. I also could not get the lockscreen to come up at all, and the launcher's "Edit Screen" option just returned to the home screen rather than letting me edit the screens. I re-downloaded the RC1 zip file, re-full-wiped and flashed, same issues. Same for the various Addon packages and base kernel; nothing resolved the issue until I downloaded the Slim Beta 1 zip file, wiped and flashed that file, verified lockscreen and settings were functioning correctly, then upgraded to RC1. Now everything is as it should be with RC1. I did lose the "Bootloader" reboot option when I went from Beta 1 to RC1- was this by design? Everything else I have tried so far is great! Thanks again. :highfive:

[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
That's just aweful - and can be fixed.

"Android OS" should be less than 10%, in my experience. Click on it to see how its use is divided up. It'll show you how much CPU use there is and how much "Keep Awake" time there is. My guess is that there's a LOT of keep awake time there.

Then get Better Battery Stats and figure out what your kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks are. Search my posts, I've talked about my experiences quite a bit in the past couple of months.

And view the following threads for more info about fixing your battery issues (these are where I found my solutions)...

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

I've been doing 2-3 full battery cycles from 100%-to-death any time I flash a ROM and it's more accurate after that. My battery life is now exactly the same on 4.2 as it was on 4.1.

I don't think Voice dialer has ever worked on JB.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You should be using I9000 modems zip made for CM (aosp). I897 modems tend to make static because of the lack of support for audience chip.

Was already installed. And reinstalled. Maybe I'll do a dirty flash again. Voice Dialer has worked for me before. Not well, but it worked.

Apparently, Gtalk won't offer video chats without front-facing camera, though other ROMS/phones have found workaround by fiddling with camera.cfg or something. Couldn't find anything similar in Captivate though.

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

I think I found a bug maybe.

For some reason no app can use my Camera, every time I try it force closes the app. I've done this with Cam Scanner (if I try to use my stock/Camera ZOOM camera, if I use the one the app provides its OK), Snap Tax (mostly curious, wanted to try it). Basically anything that needs access to the camera can't use it and ends in a force close.

My default camera was Camera ZOOM FX, I uninstalled it and set myself back to the stock camera, still didn't work. Aside from the Cam Scanner one, those are the only two camera apps I have. I have cleared the data for the apps and it didn't help. I'm not sure what else to do, any ideas?

Edit: testing more apps, trying to use the camera in Foursquare also fails.

Google Goggles works.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You might be on to something. FB camera works but paper camera doesn't. I'll verify this further later today. Can you give me other free camera apps that don't work?

Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

Sure! I'll go poke around and see what I can find.

Edit:

Foursquare works... Sort of. If I pick the top left camera option, I get a force close, the right one. No issue. The one on the bottom works to but its rather laggy.

Trying to take a picture with any option in Tapatalk didn't work either for either stock but the free one works this time.

Any idea why I have two or why it isn't labeled as just "Camera"? When I went up to RC I did a clean install.

It seems all the camera stuff is kinda screwy...
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
By any chance you have bigmem enabled? I had it enabled and once I disabled it it started working fine. Remember some apps initialize looking for video recording bit first, so if it can't locate 720p recording it errors out. At least that solved it for me on my side ;).
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
Re: [ROM][4.2.1] Slim Bean(I897) RC 1

I do in fact have bigmem enabled. That makes a lot of sense. I had no idea that some apps do that, I'll disable it and see how it goes. If my phone won't blow up.

I initially switched to SlimRoms for the bigmem (ill never look back, this rom is win) as I was having many hot rebooting issues that I was never able to figure out why.

EDIT:

It fixed it. Though oddly enough I still have all the RAM (409mb) I had with bigmem even after 2 reboots... Is that normal? My video recording and all the camera stuff is fine now.

Well I added it up based on what was in my RAM bar and it is in fact 397mb currently which is still bigmem (which if I read right can be 397mb or 409mb right?). Here is a screenshot of the RAM bar from recent apps, same numbers as the one in Settings.

If this is the graphical error you meant then I wonder where I am RAM wise then, Semaphore manager also says I have 397mb. Don't get me wrong, no complaints here. I just don't want to think I have more RAM than I actually do.

Having 397MB of ram is Hugemem (I believe standard is 384MB?) its kernel specific (s or not s). Big mem is the toggle in Semaphore app that adds an extra 12MB of ram and kills 720p recording. Only drawback with Hugemem is that some videos files won't get hardware decoded, thats about it.

I agree it shouldn't, but from my experience with coding just because compiler2 follows the exact same steps and uses the exact same software as compiler1 doesn't necessarily mean the output's going to be exactly the same. Besides the default kernel in the current available RC is 2.9.5 right?

Decided to try it out myself last night and my phone swapped and displayed the correct amount of RAM just fine using 2.9.8sc.

Also I didn't know about the Hugemem (which I personally like to think of as Extendedmem, but that's just me) broke Hardware decoding. Is there a list somewhere that lists the types affected? (asks his good friend Google)
