[Captivate Android Development] JakeJesper:
Thanks. How about the "IT_ES_FR_fix_captivatemtd.build.4.2" file from the Fixes Subcategory? Is it required to flash that? If I'm not using the Italian, Spanish and French languages, would it be fine without having it installed?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Should work fine if on English with out.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Ok guys build 5 is out!!!. Check the changelog and as always like the work hit thanks or if your so inclined buy us a beer ;)

[Captivate Android Development] ecselite:
full wipe required before flashing ??
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you bother reading the link ;)
[Captivate Android Development] ecselite:
i can see now :laugh:
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Full wipe's always recommended though...
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
This new version of Slim runs faster than 4.2... good stable ROM, as usual. :good:
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
Looks like I'll be flashing this when I get back to the hotel tonight, looking forward :)
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
Full wipe to 5. All is well! :D

Sent from a heavily modded Cappy from parts unknown. Slimbean/Semaphore. FTW.
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Oh nice, time to d/l.

And YES NO HOLO! I can finally stop deleting Holo every time I flash ;).

Looking forward to the new build.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Yeah wasn't a fan of the Holo. Still sticking with Apex though just because it's already all setup... Dirty flashed with no issues so far.
[Captivate Android Development] ngochuy:
Me too. I also set 230 dpi for my phone. This is the most suitable dpi for captivate screen.
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
So just flashed Build 5....didn't think it was possible but my cappy is way faster than before. Jesus the speed is ridiculous.
[Captivate Android Development] theinvisible:
I'm interested in trying this ROM, however I am on the Rogers network. Is there any information on whether this will work on rogers? Will I have to mess with the modem? I'm coming from a 2.3.5 ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
This rom doesn't include modem, so you will need to flash proper aosp kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Stock 2.3.x -> Root + CWM (Corn kernel) -> CM10 stable -> SlimBean

Just follow the instructions for each step, all information is available here on XDA.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Root isn't needed.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I personally just Odin Stock KK4 -> Odin Corn Kernel (or any other kernel with CWR) -> SlimBean followed by gapps and a modem and it works pretty well for me. Don't even bother with CM10.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
I agree, root not needed for the OS upgrade process, only CWM. He may want to use popular Titanium to backup his user apps + data though. I never needed root while going back to stock GB, but I never had anything to backup there.

Kyuta Syuko's way works too, but for a new user is probably better/easier to follow step by step instructions, here for example.
[Captivate Android Development] bluecopper:
Am I the only one in the dark? My slim center not giving me notification of the new release
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Don't know I assume it went out. I'll flash older and verify
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I didn't get a notification either... I just check this thread a few times a day which how I knew of the new build...
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:
Very impressed!!!

Just flashed the latest build.... Wow! it runs amazing. great ROM, think I have to ditch Xylon 2.3.3 as my daily driver if it keeps performing like this! Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Guys notification should work. Mind you it only checks at the set interval or at boot.
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
Hey guys, love slim ROMs and been using them for my daily since 3.something-or-other. I'm using my cappy on T-Mobile prepaid and am interested in the "T-Mobile WiFi calling" app. I was wondering of the Vibrant version of this ROM includes the correct files for it to work or if they could be ported into the cappy ROM? I'll donated some beer money if this issue is addressed, and throw in some pizza money if it could be solved! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
What is the issue with this app?
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=807116&page=3 )

Well, its not just an app. Apparently there is some other lines of code as well. Lib file, among other things. Found some info in this thread in the above link, but its for a different phone...
[Captivate Android Development] JakeJesper:
When upgrading from Build 4.2 to Build 5, do I still need to do flash the Gapps for Build 5 after flashing the rom? And do I also need to do Full wipe, and manual format /system? Or just wipe cache and dalvik cache?

I'm just confused with the thread installation and from the site:

Upgrading Slim Bean

Unless we specify otherwise in changelog

Reboot to recovery, wipe cache, dalvik cache then just flash your device zip.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you read the changelog ;)
[Captivate Android Development] JakeJesper:
Thanks. How does "For Most Users" differ from "For advanced Users" in the "How to install SlimBean 4.2.2 build 5"?

Clearly, for advanced users is much easier because you only do wipe cache and dalvik cache instead of making a full wipe.

What's the difference?
[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
An advanced user can try a dirty flash and trouble shoot their own problems along the way. If they have serious problems they can hopefully figure them out alone.

Most users probably benefit from a cleaner install with less chance of issues.

Personally, I always at least try a dirty flash. I've had a couple of problems but was able to solve them myself. I always make a backup first...
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
In my experience a dirty flash going between versions is OK (ie Slim 4 -> Slim 5)

If you're changing ROMs however a full wipe is ALWAYS your best choice, to avoid issues.
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
mine is a little bit different. i just dirty flash between similar builds, like from 4.0 to 4.2. From 4.2 to 5.0 i fully wipe and have a clean flash to make sure it work perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] JakeJesper:
How about the "manual format /system"? Is it required along with the full wipe? How do I do it?
[Captivate Android Development] onlyu132:
after flash v5, the media scanner seems stop working, my phone doesn't recognize any music files. Photo files is ok. I don't know why and how to fix. Upgraded from miui v5 with a clean flash.
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
yep. reboot to recovery, go to mount and storage > format /system > yes format system.

make sure you already back up your phone before formatting anything.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Sounds like a bad flash. I would try flashing again.
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
Yes, it's actually prevented me from booting a new ROM before when I don't do this. I got my S3 last night (S4 is not worth 200$ imo at this time), and I forgot to wipe the /system folder and it was stuck at the Slim bootscreen forever, until I pulled the battery went into CWM and formated. Then it took about 30 seconds to boot xD.
[Captivate Android Development] Gatech:
I want to know something. Everyone talks about clean flash every version. I think for you it's a fast procedure :S

How many time do you spend, backing up everything, formatting, flashing, restoring everything? :S

For me is like 1 hour...
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
About 5 minutes total.

Steps:

1. Boot to recovery

2. Backup restore -> backup (takes about 2minutes or so)

3. Wipe/Factory reset (<30sec)

4. Wipe Cache (<5sec)

5. Format /system (<30sec)

It shouldn't take you longer than that, unless you're adding extra steps. For restore, I just use Nandroid Manager from the market and grab apps, texts, calls, etc from the nandroid backup I made before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] Gatech:
Ohh wait, I didn't know that procedure.

I used to backup with Go Backup!, that is slower.

But... with that procedure is not the same than a dirty flash?, you restore EVERYTHING, or not?.

:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Why not just back up with TiBu maje a flashable zip? Faster restoring no?
[Captivate Android Development] Gatech:
Ok, I'll try with Titanium with bash (I didn't know that option).
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
with clean flash, i usually use Titanium backup pro to restore all apps, text, call logs, wifi with a few taps, then i re-config setting manually. it takes me like 10 minutes or so for these steps.
[Captivate Android Development] onlyu132:
Thanks for your advice! It worked. However, I don't know if it's just me, my phone loses its sound now. Can't play music, and even ringtones. Using headphone is ok. Anyone experience this? I don't have this problem when using MIUI v5
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Yes, this happens to me once in awhile. I haven't isolated the problem, but it appears random in nature.

Perhaps the connector for our external speaker is loose. I haven't tried opening my cappy yet to verify, but this is a possibility. I don't think this is a ROM related issue, unless other people are noticing it too.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Rarely listen to music or anything through my phone's speaker just because it's never been loud enough to begin with...
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
I do know there is a hardware issue for the Captivate's speaker. It happened to mine once and I got it working again. Let me go try and find that thread for ya.

Edit:

Here it is. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1351278

Hopefully it'll help. :)
[Captivate Android Development] onlyu132:
Thank you for your help! Highly appreciate! Bad luck for me because this is hardware issue. I really scare of problems that related to hardware :(. Now I have to decide I should open my lovely phone or not :(.
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
Not a fan of TiBu unless I need to use it for some reason. I like to pick and choose each time I switch ROMs what I want on the phone, so it's just easier for me to use Nandroid Manager, plus if I already made the backup might as well put it to use :)
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
Did you read the thread? You don't have to open it! :3 Just take the battery cover off, the screw is next to the speaker. No taking apart needed! :3

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:31 AM ----------

I've been using Nandroid Manager myself recently. I can just use my Nandroid backups to restore my apps, and it's free to do so. <3 It doesn't make backups though, just manages!
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Actually it does require you to remove the whole back of the phone to get to the screw in question.
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
Well shoot. I totally read that wrong lol. Well for me I just unscrewed the small screw next to the speaker and I haven't had a problem since. X3

My bad.
[Captivate Android Development] x0ne215:
If you or any other trusted xda members need any spare cappy parts shoot me a PM, since I got my S3 I don't really need the spare cappy I had laying around for parts. Depending on what it is just have to pay for shipping :).

Old cappy I was using for my daily driver is now a media center ;)
[Captivate Android Development] xtremer92:
I cant enable wifi hotspot .. am on build
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
What build? And what ROM? That doesn't look like slim to me.
[Captivate Android Development] onlyu132:
OMG! Unbelievable! I did as you said, and boom... sound is back again. So happy that I don't need to mess up my phone. Best advice. Thank you! Hope no more problem about sound would comes in the way when I still don't have enough money to change my phone :laugh:.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
I have the paid version of TiBu (bought it a while back when I first got my Cappy) and I've been able to pick and choose what to restore just fine. Might see how long it takes to make a Nandroid Backup though and try out Nandroid Manager to see how much if any difference there is in the amount of time it takes to backup and restore apps.
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
Really? Well that completely rocks! I'm so glad it was able to work for you. :3 My speaker was doing that about 6 months ago and hasn't done it since I did that so hopefully you'll be just fine until you can afford a new phone!
[Captivate Android Development] xtremer92:
Am on slim build 5....
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Did you flash a Theme? Like m1batt1 said, that doesn't look like Slim build 5 to me...
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Working fine here...
[Captivate Android Development] sleeper994:
I'm probably going on y'all's nerves with this, but its really bothering me, is everyone's Dashclock looking like this??
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Sometimes when I'm listening to music via Google Play it'll show the HD Widget on the lockscreen and it'll be spazzing out between pattern lock view and full screen view. Sure not the same issue you're having, but still an issue with widgets and the pattern lock screen...
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
If you have an app that forces a widget to lockscreen it usually causes spazing. We will look in to it.

Now we are starting weekly builds. These are automated builds that will be compiled and pushed on a weekly time frames (probably saturdays) based on whatever has been pushed to our git at the time. There will be no support for them as in I won't help you try to fix it, we will however accept logs (we use our bug reporting how to from site) to fix for stable releases.
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
Why is it that I can't update any of my google apps, when I search for it in the play store it reads "Your device isn't compatible with this version"
[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Probably a dpi issue.

Settings> Interface> General>LCD density

Follow the steps to clear market data...
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Did you flash gapps/flash the right gapps?
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
Thanks, this was it
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I bet your using wrong addons...
[Captivate Android Development] bradddo:
cappy keeps going to sleep on its own,and i have to unlock it while im using it. it seems to do it after only a few seconds of me not touching it. also the shutdown menu comes up all the time too. is there a short cut on one of the keys i dont know about. my phone is slowly dying i think.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Sounds like a bad power button.
[Captivate Android Development] bradddo:
Yay. I thought I was one of the lucky few to not have that problem.. Its an easy fix tho isn't it?
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
Okay, this is weird...

Maps has no "Layers" anymore...

Gmail has no "Mark Unread" button anymore...

What happened???
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Maps works fine for me. As for mark as unread wasn't ever there?
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
So, you have access to traffic, satellite images, etc on maps? Cause I don't. And as far as the "mark as unread" I know it was working before flashing to 5 because I used it every day... :(
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I rarely use it on mobile app so I'm actually unsure. As for maps yup satélite terrain work as well as traffic
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
Okay. I'll delete and reload both, thanks. Brb
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
Well, removed and re-downloaded maps and still having the same problem...I don't get it. I did a full wipe, SD format, Odin KJ3, Boogs kernel w/cwm, cm10, SB5, gapps, extras. I'm at a loss. Anybody got a sgs3 they wanna get rid of? :D
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
New weekly is out :)
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Can be found inside a message. Second icon from the right, seen in attachment. Also, when selecting messages, it is between the Labels button and Add Star button.

Also, about the Maps missing the Layers button, it is similarly the second button from the right (on the main view) (Seen in the second screenshot)

Perhaps if these things are missing, they may have overflowed into the application menu if the density is not high enough. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
I don't have either one of those icons...what is going on??? I'm running 230dpi...
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well I changed to 220 dpi (and 240), wiped market data and reboot and its fine.
[Captivate Android Development] couldnthinkaone:
I'll try to clear data and reboot...gonna feel real dumb if I just made a noob boo-boo!

Well, apparently I'm just an idiot...:banghead:
[Captivate Android Development] deathblade:
How is GPS speed on here?
[Captivate Android Development] mrsubway:
Do the new Gapps released on the 19th require a full wipe? I see the upgrade as 4.x to 5.
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
Hey guys. I just had a really scary thing happen.

I was browsing around on the Google+ app when all of sudden my screen went a slight yellow color and froze. I could still see Google+ but it was yellow and got harder and harder to see (it got fuzzy), then three lines appeared on the lower half of the screen and stayed like this for about a minute, it then rebooted into recovery.

I have no idea what happened nor how to reproduce it. Have any of you heard of this before? I rebooted and everything seems ok now. For now.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
I actually had something like that happen to me once several months ago. Only difference was I did a battery pull and rebooted. I don't recall what I was doing at the time but you're not the only one to experience that.
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
That's good to hear. It was really weird, thought it was some kind of BSoD Android style or something. O_o

To be honest I was about to pull the battery, my back cover was off and it rebooted before I touched the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] iosmonster:
its nothing to be worried about, that usually happens to me when my overclock is too high, or voltage
[Captivate Android Development] bradddo:
I've had that along time ago. Nothing else to add
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
Thanks for all the reassurance guys. I was really worried there. If it happens again I'll let you guys know.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I've had that happen when experimenting with voltage and oc. Probably gpu not liking something. At least my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
I've actually not messed with my voltage or OC since I've been on 5. I normally just OC to 110% but I never did with build 5.

Thanks again everybody. <3
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
This is what I would put my money on. The GPU not liking something. Usually OC, or in this case LiveOC. Course if you don't really do much to stress your GPU (such as playing games or a lot of really fast scrolling) then you probably wouldn't have it happen to you too much.
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Syncing work tree: 100% (337/337), done.

error: kernel/samsung/samsung-kernel-aries/: stratosk/samsung-kernel-aries checkout e109dc475850e7ba66112cace6cc235ed7bcbd38

It's been a while since I've done a sync and thought about compiling my own build. This evening I started the sync but ended up with this. What does it mean and what do I need to do?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Means you modified locally something and it doesn't match git's logs. Commit and push to personal git Or just rm - rf kernel/samsung/samsung-kernel-aries and resync.
[Captivate Android Development] htrowpiks:

[Captivate Android Development] h_bekhit:
so far so smooth

thank you very much for that perfect- release. :cowboy:

just one thing, how can I over-clock the processor to 1.2 GHz? the kernel does not support that. I used setCPU but found that the max frequency is 1 GHz, at which the phone has minor lags.

I will flash semaphore kernel (unofficial 2.9.25sc) as a solution, but I recommend to have a good solution integrated with the ROM itself :good:.

thank you again for your great ROM and your effort.

Live oc

[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
All good...dirty over build 5. With the weekly's my Play Store was giving errors but no prob with v6 Gapps. Well done, team!

Only weird thing, in messaging app, incoming messages are black on black, outgoing are white on black. I know it's just me. Must have gone stupid, can't figure out how to change it...

EDIT...messaging is fine with TRDS turned on.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
As prb stated the default kernel only supports LiveOC which you need to download Semaphore Manager from the Play Store to be able to change. LiveOC will OC more then just the CPU so 120% (or 1.2GHz CPU) might be unstable. I myself can't seem to get above 112% with any kind of decent stability.
[Captivate Android Development] AmericanJoe:
Unfortunately, System UI has stopped

I just updated to Slim-captivatemtd-4.2.2.build.6-OFFICIAL. Dirty update over b5. On first boot I got the “Unfortunately, System UI has stopped” error.

As per instructions, I installed AIO_Addons and that didn’t help. I wiped cache and fixed permissions and I’m still getting the error. When I click OK it pops back up again and again.

Nova is my launcher. Could that be where my problem lies? Any other thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
It shouldn't be anything to do with nova. Sometimes when you dirty flash from one major build to another it can leave things over that conflict. I know a lot of people dirty flash and never have a problem but it all depends on how you had the previous build setup.

The best remedy I could tell you is to follow the instructions for a full wipe and reinstall. If it happens again it could possibly be a bad download.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Yup. Probably has a feature active that no longer exists like notification count and such.
