Phone really slow

Hi guys,

I've been loving and using Slim for a while mostly because of how fast it is and how smooth it works on my old Vibrant.

I updated SB last weekend and it's been really slow this week. It takes forever to close an app and show the desktop and then another forever to be able to launch another app.

I usually would go to app management and stop the ones that were using too much memory, but now I check it and even when I have about 50MB free it only lists a few apps which barely use memory, even the cached processes, and now I don't know what is using that much memory or what is making my phone slow.

FYI, I installed doing a factory reset and formatting system. Then I restored my apps with Titanium Backup.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Android Development] 6stringaddict:
This may be in the realm of duh, but whenever my phone gets like that, I wipe cache and dalvik. Also, I tend to keep the semaphore kernel options untouched, but you could try out a different i/o scheduler.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Try the cache wipe the dude before me suggested.

If not, just do a titanium backup, then reflash the ROM.

It got a bit clunky today for me as well. Reflashed and its back being fast.

i am on 4.2.2 and with latest slim gapps and slim extras.

for TRDS should i directly flash TRDS gapps and TRDS extras?

or should i wipe cache or something?

One problem i'm having with this rom is the lockscreen. If i lock my phone then use the power button to awake it, it stays black but the led lights turn on but i can't unlock it. I found a way around this buy just sliding my finger across the lock screen to wake it up. But anyone know how to fix this?

Yes. However you should wait a few hours *hint*hint*

Are you using stock kernel? If so what setup?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
You need to factory reset and format system and reflash the ROM and gapps

Merry Christmas! So far so good coming from 3.1. The only problem I've had is I can't find the controls to customize the lock screen. It's not where it was on 3.1. Everything else seems to be there. I probably turned a toggle off, somewhere. Any help? Thanks again!
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
There isn't a lockscreen tweak yet because it's Beta... Not bad for a first release...

Just curious, why is the title for the interface/profiles/performance/themes "ass"

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Had to be you X for a question like that lolllol!! Advanced Slim Settings. :laugh:
[Vibrant Android Development] jforme:
smooth

Installed this when it was released, it is smooth like butter, way to go team. In my phone the battery life is poor with this, only 14 - 16 hours of mild usage but with 4.1.2 slim bean I was getting around 1.5 days of mild usage. I am not complaining, just an observation. have a charger on me all the time and have access to electrical outlet most of the time, so no problem for me. Then again, I still have the original battery from 2010 July.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Downloads betterbatterystats and CPU Spy to check on whats causing you to lose battery or if your phone just isn't reaching deep sleep.
[Vibrant Android Development] jforme:
Will do and see what drains the battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] krazyhand:
Good ROM as per usual, but definitely did murder my battery, doesn't go in to deep sleep at all and spends most of it's time at 800mhz even when not in use.
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
If it's 800mhz, its one of your apps for sure. Check the battery in the settings, is Android OS/System #1?

My most used state is Deep sleep, but second is 100mhz, led by 1000mhz (which is when i'm using it)
[Vibrant Android Development] krazyhand:
Actually yeah, Android OS is number one taking a nice 80% chunk of it, but in CPU spy it also said deep sleep is an unused state... How might I go about checking which app is causing this, I miss my battery life haha.

Edit: Well the question is hypothetical now, since I just went through my apps and deleted any I didn't use and changed a bunch of settings so that nothing ran in the background. I still very much appreciate your insight though. :)
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Man, try rebooting into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik and see if that helps.It's simple and clears issues most of the times, I do at least once a day
[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Yep, for Android OS it usually spikes up right after you stop charging it.

I reboot my phone every morning and Android OS seems to stay down after a good reboot.
[Vibrant Android Development] manus ferrera:
That's weird cause for me its the complete opposite battery length wise
[Vibrant Android Development] Smartassassin:
Confirm
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Recently, the only thing that I'm concerned is System UI....I'm getting good battery life
[Vibrant Android Development] cliffordconradsumner:
Still using slim 3.1 and loving it...I'll switch over when this is a little more mature.

Just curious (not complaining as I am quite grateful for the great work), is it possible for the GPS issues after deep sleep to ever be resolved for our phones? I have the SamVibe and have hardware mod'd it usingthe solder technique and flashed the appropriate files but still have problems after it gets sleepy.

Again, thanks so much for all the outstanding work! :good:

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -T959- [Build 2][March 15 2013]

Just updated to 4.2.2 2

Simply awesome, really fast

Actually I first caught an eye on slim ROM when I was installing ICS on my vibrant.

In that particular method ( to install ICS passion ) I had to first install slim ROM and the further go to ICS.

I did so and used passion ICS .

Then again I thought to give slim ROM a try. It was not so popular at that time .

I was a hard miui user . but since they had stopped updates I decided to switch on to passion .

Then after giving slim ROM a try , I decided to try it for a couple of days.

Surprisingly I started liking it.

Especially the size of the ROM attracted me .

My vibrant was now lighter than ever before.

I remember I had come on slim ROM since 2.4, and since then have never turned back.

These people are really fast with good support. ( for new bees like me)

Hats off to all the developers and supporters .

One small request, please don't stop updates for vibrant. Because I love both ,my vibrant and slim.

---------- Post added at 03:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

I did cache and dalvik cache wiping.

And flashed the rom , all my settings and apps are intact.
[Vibrant Android Development] Shrivel:
Just a quick bug report - I use Square Register to swipe credit cards as a part of my business. After updating to the release 2, the app stopped working. It would not allow me to log into my account. I even wiped the phone and tried reinstalling both SlimBean and the Square app and it still wouldn't work. After dropping back to release 1, it works fine. I know that it's tough to track down the issue based on my info and lack of logs, but I am 99% sure it's a result of the latest version.
[Vibrant Android Development] Speedy5150:
So after using this ROM that I love. Every works GREAT. But the Wi-Fi is so ****ty. It's not my phone. I'm close to wi-fi and I only get half of bars.

Seems to be an issue with this ROM. Been reported several times. On a friend's Vibrant, which I flashed to this Slim Bean ROM (Build 1) I researched and followed all the suggested fixes and it finally appeared. Here's how I fixed it.

LOL... I seriously get that, but none of the responses these past two weeks have been real helpful when coming to JB from earlier ROMs (ICS, GB - many from each over the past couple of years).

Searching plenty of other places for a couple hours has gotten me a little ways, but I still do not get the USB connection. I finally see that the Notification Drawer in the "Interface" gets me some stuff (including a toggle for Tethering). Is that the one suggested by the responses?

If so - when I toggle that, my PC toggles seeing the removable drives or not, but sees no content in those drives (specifically the internal and external - micro SD card).

Thanks for any assistance! :)

[Vibrant Android Development] causticfix:
Excellent work...slick & stable, probably my favorite jb rom so far.

Not really a problem per se, but I've noticed the video camera only has high res settings, which prohibits us from sending mms video. Even on lowest setting (480p mp4) and quality setting to low, even a few second clip is far too large to mms. Its seems to be a framework setting, as even using the "capture video" from inside the mms app doesnt work. Lol, just records one second & says "mms limit reached".

Sounds strange to have issues with cam being too high res, but it makes it impossible to send video anymore. I even used vidtrim & transcoded it down to like 180p (lowest it would let me) & still too large.

I dont suppose theres any way to force a 3gp format or something that I'm just looking over?

Audio out with dock?

Hi there,

I installed this rom with the idea that I would bring this phone out of retirement and use it as my media player. I bought the OEM dock for it, but apparently Samsung has a special app that is required to output audio via the USB charger. When I install that app, it force-closes, and none of the third-party apps I've tried will route the audio out through the dock.

Is there a fix for this? I really like the ROM, it's a very usable JB, but the main thing I want to use it for is a docked media player...

Thanks!

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

Was this the reason?

I did wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache and then flashed build 3 , followed by the latest extras and gaps.
