system formatting doesnt erase imei, at least on my wife's cappy, since as i know, imei data is stored in efs folder while system formatting doesnt touch anything outside the system folder.

anyway, i lost imei once, and the way i got it back is:

- use odin to flash back to stock GB.

- root it and install CWM, copy efs folder to somewhere in your sdcard (and your PC just in case).

- flash CM10 to get modem.

- format system, wipe data, flash slim bean and slim gapps.

- enjoy.

with above way, the efs folder is still in your phone and imei data would not be lost. backing up efs folder is just a "bonus" step to make sure you dont have to go all the way back to the 1st step in case you lose your imei again.
[Captivate Android Development] murphy504:
the other phone was a GS2 i9100. to this day idk why it happened.

heimdall's one click is what fixed it for me. And you're right, I really should always back up my efs folders on new phones. I'm a flash-aholic.
[Captivate Android Development] bradddo:
I'm getting a completely frozen phone a couple times a day on new release. It is otherwise quick . anyone else getting this? I have a feeling this poor old phone is slowly losing it.
[Captivate Android Development] CZ Eddie:
New captivate user here. I just bought it for my girlfriend.

I installed a recovery (CWM). Did a wipe data/cache/dalvik. Installed Slim v8 and gaps, etc. Could not turn on WiFI.

Wiped again and installed just Slim v8 by itself and still can't turn on WiFi. I'm not installing any custom kernel, so this is just the kernel that comes in the Slim v8 zip.

I'll try installing a custom kernel to see if that helps. But my search of this thread shows that WiFi *should* be working?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Factory reset, format system flash rom and our addons ;)

Thanks, I forgot all about formatting /system. That did the trick. :good:
[Captivate Android Development] droyd666:
Ok so just in case no one has solved the random reboot when enabling usb mode, here's the solution. You simply have to move all the apps on the sd to your phone's memory. Some apps (mostly games) install automatically to the sd due to their large size and they are to blame for the random reboots. Something to do with the computer and the phone attempting to use the internal sd at the same time or something. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Or like I said USE MTP. There's a reason why UMS is no longer used.... The reason why it reboots I'd OS mounts SD and stores stuff there. Apps ring tones w/e. UMS then un mounts sdcard to mount it to pc. Android OS freaks out because it's missing resources and walla reboot.

I'm upgrading from a very old version of SlimBean to the latest Build 8, and I lost IMEI. I followed the instructions to ODIN back to stock (KJ4) with bootloaders, but I cannot figure out how to root and flash CWM anymore because the files are either missing, or SuperOneClick root does not work. Can anyone kindly guide me in the correct direction?

Edit: Found da corn! And it works! :D

Hey, guys, what would be a procedure to unlock our Captivate with Slim Bean? There are a lot of instructions and apps out there but looks like all of them are for Android 2.x. Does Android version/rom really matter in this case?
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
The easiest way is go to the play store and search "galaxy s unlock" there are several apps out there that do it for you. There's also manual ways or buying an unlock code from the internet. But as unlocking involves editing info in the EFS folder which is the same regardless of android version any method should work with slim.
[Captivate Android Development] abced123:
Does anyone know the semaphore kernel version in build 8 ? is it the same as stratosk 3.0.0 sc one ?
[Captivate Android Development] eduardo_b:
It's 3.0.84+ but I don't know how that compares to the one you asked about. I was using Unofficial Semaphore 3.0.0c for a while in between build 7 and 8...or maybe it was between 6 and 7...and it was fine. Unfortunately, neither one offers some of the governors I would prefer and use on my two S3s.
[Captivate Android Development] godd:
Neither of unlocking apps from market works unfortunately. I did not try those that just a front end for a payed unlock service. There is a neighbor topic http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761751 with a thought that those methods only work with original ROM, not with CM. The only thing left to try is to edit nv_bin by hands like described here - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761045

BTW I tried to dial *#7465625# and I've got an error "Connection problem or invalid MMI code".

i'm flash rom slim 4.2.2 build 8 from 2.3.5 but my phone no imei.after that i'm go back 2.3.5 please give me rome slim 4.2.2 build 7 or another rom work good. thanks all.

and i have another problem with camera. it's not work. i flash stock rom 2.3.5 but i can't use camera. my phone say '' camera failed''.

how can i repair it ?
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
Repeat what you did to get Slim build 8 but this time make a backup of the efs folder so you can just restore that folder to get your IMEI back. No idea about the camera though but a clean flash should have no issues with it
[Captivate Android Development] kramttocs:
I also tried 4.3 but ran out of ram constantly so reverted back to 4.2.2 build 8.

I usually have enough ram but sometimes it still gets low - any suggestions on ways to increase the ram on this rom?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] soumian:
I really have no idea what else you can do to get more RAM, maybe shut down apps or background services from apps.
[Captivate Android Development] kramttocs:
ok, I've enabled Bigmem but wasn't sure if there was anything else that could be done specific to this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Android with full memory runs better. JellyBean has a good memory management and it will suspend effectively all inactive processes, leaving room for what you are doing currently on the phone. Clean JB installation will leave about 150MB RAM available for apps. This is all we have on our 3y old device. And please don't use task killer apps! They do more harm than good and as a result your phone will run slower.
[Captivate Android Development] Graysonh:

The only thing that "Enable All Widgets" does is allow you to put any Widget on the lockscreen. Otherwise you're only able to put widgets from apps that were officially designed to support it.
[Captivate Android Development] Snow.Goose:
Is there any way to set custom carrier labels?
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Ahh, ok. I was hoping it would enable/disable that box for adding widgets to the lockscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I feel like such an idiot that I cant get the Chronus app to show the weather on the lockscreen. Ive dragged the screen right so that I could add the Chronus widget, did that and it shows the time, event and weather and removed the original lock screen which just showed the time/battery charge but the original lock screen is still all I see. Is there an idiots guide for personalizing the lock screen somewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
When you add the chronus widget to the main lock screen it hides everything but the time unless you swipe down on that pane.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Oh, so I might have done it correctly then. Is there a way to make the default amount shown larger so that the weather and other info is shown?
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Not that I'm aware of.

I had this crazy thing happen earlier... I couldn't really get a screen shot.

Basically what happened is I was just getting of a phone call and I got off the phone and I looked at my screen and my notification was halfway down and twitching up and down a lot. It was kinda spazzing.

I locked my phone and when I unlocked it, all was fine. I just wanted to throw it up here. :)
[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
Is it possible you had some water or sweat on the screen? I've had instances where I've got a spot of water on the screen and it acts like you're touching the screen.
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
That might of been it. I'm not sure though as despite me touching the screen it wouldn't stop, none of the home keys worked either. Volume did though and the lock button of course.

[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Successfully dirty flashed from 3.1 to 4.1.2 Beta 2 - only a few minor tweaks required and I sure didn't waste much time! :good:

Battery life is ok. I was down to 0.7% per hour on an 1800mAh battery on 3.1 and I'm currently at 1.6% per hour on 4.1.2B2. I have no significant wake locks, about 97.5% deep sleep over night. It's not a totally fair comparison because now I'm 110%OC with some other Sem.Mgr. tweaks. Haven't done any full cycles of the battery yet. I'll work on that next.

I really preferred the lock screen on 3.1 - pretty much everything about the new lock screen is weird, scary, and I hate that. I've tried to get used to it but change is killing me. Anyone know of a simple, clean calendar next event widget I can stick on the lock screen - just like the one on Slim Bean 4.1.2 versions? Really missing that.

Wifi is now fine with the included kernel.

Thanks for the hard work, guys.

EDIT: Works after flasshing the AIO zip, weird
[Captivate Android Development] SunnyOK:
The issue has been resolved.

The root cause is that there is no Provision.apk file in Slim-I897-4.2.1.Beta.2-OFFICIAL.zip.

You can add Provision.apk from other ROMs (see attachment below for you).

I9000 has the same problem. The solution is the same.

I notice that from 4.1.2 to 4.2.1 Slim ROM wise, the performance tweaks were taken out; like the zipalign feature and a few others. Are there working on trying to get that back in?
[Captivate Android Development] athdaraxen:
I flashed it and it's working fine. I never had the wifi issue so I can't say if it was fixed or not.

BLN is basically using your back lit buttons as a notification light instead of the little LED that most phones come with. The best part about it is that it can be used as a notification light for phones like Captivates that don't have LED notification lights.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I honestly don't know what your talking about I flash my build multiple times a day and never had any problems you spoke of.

My wifi and all buttons worked fine with the included kernel - Jan 9th download.
[Captivate Android Development] SunnyOK:
It is interesting that there are differences between our understandings.

After you flash, did you wipe data/factory reset?

What is the function of Provision.apk? If no it, what happens?

If your previous rom has Provision.apk and you did not wipe data/factory reset, of course you are using previous data there.

If you did wipe data/factory reset after flashing, you will lose previous data of Provision.apk.The problem now appears because of missing Provision.apk in the ROM.

I have tested this problem > 20 times and tried to find the root cause.
[Captivate Android Development] BxingFetus:
@SunnyOk, I've used slim 4.2.1, full wipe everything, before install, and like pr says, I've had no issues running that rom at all. All soft keys work like they should. No big issues to report, I did at the time re-flash the kernel because of Wi-Fi, but all was soon fixed. I've gone back to 4.1.2 personally because of features on that particular rom. I might also say that the guys(devs) go to a lot of trouble of making our Cappy still alive and kicking, please don't piss'em off.
