Nicer than me when a silly question is asked. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bradddo:
any progress from anyone so far. I am always pretty happy with every release even with some minor annoyances that are likely just my old cappy and not the rom. I think its a placebo effect in that i want to love every new release. For me build 4 was noticeably better for stability and battery life than the last few. Some of the new additions are cool though, like dpi and some settings retained after a flash. I still love this rom and/but i wonder where i would be if i didnt need a slim rom for my old phone.....
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Mess with semaphore Manager to tweak it.
[Captivate Android Development] ~wolverine~:
Since I'm using the pie controls is there anyway to disable the capacitive buttons? I'm not talking about just setting the actions to none, I mean disable the lights altogether. It seems I'm always touching them when I pick up the phone. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
There was a drop off in battery life in the last few builds but build 7 has been a big improvement for me.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
I've never had this problem. What I do is change dpi before putting in my account info. Reboot, sign in and it's fine.

Any idea when we'll see a patch for the Android exploit on Slimbean?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Weekly, already merged to git.
[Captivate Android Development] alexmr89:
Hi, how I'm on the last slimbeam, with semaphore... how do I remove sempahore kernel in case I want to flash anotherone? I tried to flash other from Cwm but no chance, it seems to do nothing. I reboot and I'm still on semaphore... I'd like to try other or at least the stock one. tahnks
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Assuming your flashing correct zip then just flash over. There is no removing per say.
[Captivate Android Development] imranaryan:
which is the best kernel for this rom.. am on rooted Stock 2.3.5 with CWM planning to flash this one
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Slim7 comes with the latest Semaphore 3.0.0sc, no need to change it.

Read installation instructions for SlimBean before flashing from stock ROM - http://slimroms.net/index.php/installation
[Captivate Android Development] mjkute:
This rom has volume roker? Because power button didn't work, so i want to ask that

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
New weekly should be out and I recommend everyone to update due to Google's security patch.
[Captivate Android Development] imranaryan:
i am stuck at semaphore bootscreen

when i select to flash Slim-captivatemtd-4.2.2.build.7-OFFICIAL

its going till like 20 % then the phone reboot.. and stays at semaphore bootscreen..
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
So did you flash the rom more than once? Repartition takes 2-3 flashes.
[Captivate Android Development] imranaryan:
ok i again booted in to recovery this time i see CWM 6.0.3.0

i flash again

then flashed Slim_Gapps.4.2.2.build.7

ok phone is booted now...

please help its not showing network and comes with blank imei
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Odin/heimdall back without boot loaders if already on Froyo bls.
[Captivate Android Development] imranaryan:
am not having any network and getting blank imei what to do..

everything was fine b4r
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you make a backup of efs folder? If yes restore it. If no odin back to stock make back up and start over.
[Captivate Android Development] imranaryan:
ok am back to gb got my imei and network

should i make backup of efs folder with nitrality app

and/or do i need to flash modem after flashing slimbean

if so give me a link and procedure to flash modem..
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I just use a root explorer and copy the efs folder. Can't speak of apps for it, I assume they work
[Captivate Android Development] imranaryan:
whr to copy the efs folder
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Because you did not flash CM10 before SlimBean as per instructions. This is why I did post a link for you!

From Froyo/GB Rom to SlimBean

Get yourself booted with cm9 or cm10

. then follow the steps "From another JB or ICS ROM

Stock 2.3.x ROM -> flash Corn kernel (to get CWM) -> flash CM10 Stable (or CM10.1) -> flash SlimBean -> flash SlimGapps
[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Yes it does.

I had to do exactly that a couple of days ago.....but my power button started working again. Weird.
[Captivate Android Development] seanpr123:
Hello friends.

This may be a quick/stupid question, but recently picked up a Captivate again after a few years and immediately flashed Slim.

Everything works GREAT except GPS, doesn't even appear to turn on (no flashing indicator) and GPS Test doesn't show any in-view.

Anything simple I need to do to fix that? I know the GPS on this device isn't great but it should be showing me something or at least trying :)

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Gatech:
I have a NOOB question :(

With my Captivate on 4.2.2 Build 4 ROM, and since I remember on SlimBean, when I use WAZE, some time after, music player gets killed. Tried with internal music player and Omich Music Player.

Is not possible to keep music player working when Waze is Navigating?.

Gatech.
[Captivate Android Development] seanpr123:
Do you have any task manager/killers installed?

I don't have mine in front of me but you could also check in Developer Settings to see what your background activity settings looks like.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Check lmk. Also 512mb of ram on today's standard is low app devs dont always keep old devices in kind.
[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Just me being stupid or is there a way to change text color in the Messaging app with TRDS enabled? Both sides of the conversation are white now, it was nice having one blue to help show who said what!
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Other than trying to do a full wipe and reflash I would suggest you try a different modem. Back when I was playing with different modems I noticed some completely killed my phone's ability to find satellites. I don't recall if it caused an issue with the indicator though.

As far as which modem to try out I would suggest UGKG3. It has worked well for me all over the country and I believe a lot of people use it.
[Captivate Android Development] seanpr123:
Great, will give that a shot and report back tonight.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] eduardo_b:
You can only change to other colors via themeable mms.apk (or by decompiling, changing code and recompiling apk). Do a search of xda and you'll find plenty of themeable mms files. That said, I find white much more legible in less than optimal ambient lighting, such as sunlight. The more contrast between text and background, the easier to read.

Here's one themeable app that works well (but there are others): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1950443
[Captivate Android Development] seanpr123:
Yep you nailed it, modem was my issue!

Since I'm not using it with a SIM at the moment I had no idea, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
This was brought up before with Swiftkey, but it's happening on all keyboards. For some reason, the phone becomes unusable sometimes because the keyboard keeps closing. I'll type one letter, and the keyboard vanishes. You can press the edit box 20 times, the keyboard will come back, let me type one letter, and then close again. Rebooting the phone helps, but only for awhile. I'm on the latest weekly build with Semaphore 3. This happens even after a full wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] rcsredmage:
Same here.
[Captivate Android Development] bradddo:
it just occurred to me that i may have this issue. a few instances where the keyboard will not appear at all for a minute. i will have to exit that app or refresh page. stock keyboard , latest stable slim.
[Captivate Android Development] hadeanmars:
I manage to solve the keyboard by disabling Search Applications Provider app using App Quarantine. Hope this helps
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
Okay. Frozen with TiBu. I'll see how it goes throughout the day. :D

[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
my wife just told me the same keyboard lost issue, happened quite often during days.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Im trying this also because I run into this issue frequently with multiple keyboards.
[Captivate Android Development] ~wolverine~:
Maybe I got lucky and my Cappy wasn't built on a Friday or Monday, because the GPS is dead on the money.
[Captivate Android Development] bradddo:
a question about quick actions. is it basically the same as pie controls but for the browser only? also i am unable to get it to respond consistently, is this normal or a bug?
[Captivate Android Development] hadeanmars:
For the keyboard issue I think the cause is due to low RAM memory. If you happened to have installed any "free mem/ram" app I suggest you to try and put the keyboard apps into the kill whitelist. Previously I suggested to try and disable the Search Applications Provider because I don't see that app is useful for me and it's eating quite some RAM.
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
what if my cappy doesnt have any ram manager app?

besides, this issue didnt happen in previous builds...
[Captivate Android Development] hadeanmars:
Hmm I'm no expert but let me try and help. Please provide me your current

1. ROM version

2. Kernel name, version and setting 3. Phone performance setting

I'd like to see your dmesg too.

Get terminal emulator from Google play.

Play with your phone until the keyboard issue starts occurring.

Then run the following 2 lines in the terminal emulator app.

Post the file /mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt here.

su

dmesg >/mnt/sdcard/dmesg.txt
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
1- my wife's cappy is running build 7.0

2- no other kernel was flashed, just slim bean 7.0's.

3- governer: interactive. i/o: CFQ (default by slimbean), i didnt change anything here.

i had a full wipe before flashing this 7.0. i'll install terminal emulator and get that dmesg.txt file. Thank you for your suggestion.
[Captivate Android Development] 7he8ob:
I love this rom and I'm running build 7 now! Everything is running good other than my text tone stops working. It will work for a little bit then it quits and i have to go set it again because it has changed to a different tone but just vibrates. Any ideas guys? This may have already be covered but im kinda in a hurry so i figured i would just post! Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well do you have any profiles set? Or do you use custom tone from sdcard?
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
The keyboard issue happens most in Facebook. But since that program is the worst pile of fetid garbage and swill on the market, I'm not surprised. Just happened now while writing this.

[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Re: ring tones - custom tones seem to get lost sometimes on reboots ... but not always. That's an old known issue but it only takes a minute to reset them.

My search didn't work on build 7 but uninstalling Google Search (I don't use Google Now) and reflashing Gapps fixed it. Can't seem to make that work on weekly 7.2 for some reason. That's just the way she goes with constant dirty flashes...
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I believe custom ring tones disappearing is due to UMS more than anything
[Captivate Android Development] 7he8ob:
Yes, I have a custom tone on my sd card with profiles off. I didn't have a problem with it on build 6 but like stated above its not big deal to change it. I was just wondering if there was a quick fix for it. I also have a custom ringtone and it always works no problem! Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
No fix, except stop using UMS. This has been happening since ICS. There's a reason why UMS is deprecated
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
There is a solution for this: copy your ringtone(s) to your phone memory (inside root/system/media/audio/notification or ringtones...), set permission for them, reboot and choose them in setting/sound/ as other default ones. Then you can use UMS or whatever and not lose your ringtones. You just have to re-do this once you flash a new rom.

Everytime I reboot the phone or power off and turn it on I get a black box near the bottom of the screen that states "can't download right now try again later". Is this just me or has any one else noticed this?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Never noticed that on my cappy of mako. Seems like an app is trying to access the net.
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
I too have seen this problem, but I have not used my Cappy in the last month since I got my Nexus 4... I am now planning on water proofing my Cappy and using it when I go to the beach, and Schlitterbahn...:laugh:
[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
I'm glad to see the Search issue was fixed in the latest version.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Do you think it might be the OTA updater? If you don't have 3G or a wifi connection and it's set to check for updates I could see this happening. I myself don't have the OTA updater set to run so I can't verify, but I don't see a toast about downloading.
[Captivate Android Development] ~wolverine~:
Good catch! I clicked the OTA off and no more message. Thanks.

hi, i have flashed the new build of slim bean (official build 7) it is not working with my network (Telenor Pakistan) m i missing some thing?!

p.s. its working fine with cynogenmod 10.1 latest build, and captivating xperia themed too...
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Have you checked your IMEI? Have you changed your módem?
[Captivate Android Development] ~wolverine~:
Well I spoke to soon. It's back again, and OTA is disabled. Oh well it's not that big a deal anyway.

You have no bars? Did you wipe when coming from CM10?

[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
The only thing i know that restores your IMEI and works 100% is ODIN back to stock following this path

Stock 2.3.x ROM -> flash Corn kernel (to get CWM) -> flash CM10 Stable (or CM10.1) -> flash SlimBean

I mean i have no idea if it's simpler or not than the link you provided, i have never had any issues with mi IMEI
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
i suggest this way too.
[Captivate Android Development] Mortal Eternity:
well it is simpler bro... thanks :) let me do that and get back here to post results!

thanks again!

p.s. need one advice though... should i go with one with the bootloaders or without!? i m not on AT&T i use Telenor Pakistan (local network)

Also, my set was on 2.1 eclair originally... can i still go with the 2.3.5 one click stock odin!?

Best regards,

Mortal Eternity.

Update... I have bricked my phone :( odin still detecting it though... but its not going further on from DO NOT REMOVE THE TARGET!!!

on mobile screen it says Firmware upgrade fail! try using recovery mode.

any advice!?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If the device shows signs of life and use port isn't damaged it's not bricked. You need to use a one click that includes pit or a use a "full" Odin and use a pit file

I get random reboots sometimes when i enable usb mode and sometimes when i uninstall apps. Anyone else sharing these problems?
[Captivate Android Development] ~wolverine~:
New weekly is up.
[Captivate Android Development] mjkute:
the same problems
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Usb mode?
[Captivate Android Development] godd:
Since I switched to Slim Bean a week ago from another 4.2 ROM, I lost my USB connection. My phone does not recognize it is connected to a PC, does not bring a notification on the screen, only charging works. My PC also does not see my phone. Tried to set USB connection to different options (MTP, Mass storage), tried to turn on/off debug mode - nothing helps. Is it a problem with this ROM or just a coincidence?
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
No idea about USB mode but for me the soft reboot when uninstalling apps has been there for quite long time (like i can't even recall in which build started happening) but it doesn't really bother me.
[Captivate Android Development] hadeanmars:
Download semaphore manager from Google play store and check if fast charge is enabled. If yes, try disabling it.
[Captivate Android Development] godd:
First thing to check - nope, fast charge disabled. At least in SM
[Captivate Android Development] hadeanmars:
Hmm try to check if windows detected your phone when plugged in.

1. Unplug USB.

2. Click start, type device manager and enter

3. Connect phone to PC with USB

4. Check if the device manager window flashes.

5. If it did, and your phone is still not detected, look for the driver and uninstall it.

5.1 Look for the driver somewhere in this forum (sorry can't link here, am using my phone to reply)

5.2 Install the driver and try again

6. If the device manager driver doesn't flash, click Scan for hardware changes

6.1 If there's a notification on the bottom left edge about new device is being detected, let it installs the driver and try again

6.2 If nothing happens, look for another USB cable and try again

6.2.1 If the cable doesn't work, try with another PC
[Captivate Android Development] godd:
Thanks for this detailed instruction.

I'm pretty sure the problem is in my phone and not in a PC. I tried to connect to 2 different computers with difference Windows flavors with different cables - same result, computers do not see the attached phone. Will try to reflash today.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Is anybody else seeing GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservice.AndroidEndpoint suddenly using a large percentage of battery?
[Captivate Android Development] hadeanmars:
I guess the only option left is to test with other ROMs and maybe different version of slimbean. Can try cm10.1 stable and slimbean 4.2.2 build 6 or maybe the weekly.

[MENTION=3631779]kevria[/MENTION]

I don't see that process in my battery summary view page. That seemed like a Google Talk process.

BTW I think Google has changed Google Talk to Hangouts. Which slimbean are you running and which gapps did you use? You may try disable it to see if your battery life improves.
[Captivate Android Development] godd:
SOLVED!

Turned the thing completely off, removed battery, reattach battery, turn it on and voila!

Before that tried reboot/recovery/reflash/uninstall apps - nothing worked.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I am a beta tester so Im on 7.5 and running Hangouts and that service is still showing as my biggest battery drain. I could try freezing Hangouts to see if that improved battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] whisky23:
Had the same usb problem before I installed one of build 7 weekly builds. Thought it was my cable, or something messed up with the micro-usb jack since even a different cable didn't work, but guess it was one of the rom builds. So far on 7.5, I haven't had this problem.
[Captivate Android Development] poprocksncoke:
I just installed tonight and when I use the nova launcher I have no call (phone) or messaging icon at the bottom of my screen or in my app drawer. When I use the android launcher it gives me the messaging icon but not the call (phone) icon?

I see this too in BBS, on my gs3 as well. I also see hangouts as well. Not sure what or why its there.
[Captivate Android Development] bradddo:
To flash an older stable release , do I need to find an old Gapps too? I am currently on 7.8
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
One thing you can try doing is to send mtalk.google.com to 0.0.0.0. I did it using Adaway (you can find it on XDA) and set a custom redirect. This completely took care of the issue with the unfortunate side effect of losing push notifications (email, etc). You can just go into gmail and hit Refresh.
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
no, you dont. just flash the 7.0 stable build and the newest 7.x gapps.
