[Vibrant Android Development] notime2d8:
Have you tried upgrading your radio? You might still have an old one...I remembered having some issues with the same phone/carrier as you before upgrading to a new/ICS/jb radio.

What do you have under -> settings -> about phone -> baseband version?
[Vibrant Android Development] S1lent Echoes:
Baseband version is T959UVKA7
[Vibrant Android Development] notime2d8:
Yeah I upgraded to the ICS T959UVKB5 see if that solves your issues. When I first upgraded to this ROM with that radio...I had no signal or GPS.
[Vibrant Android Development] S1lent Echoes:
Okay, I will definitely give that a try, thank you. Does upating the baseband require a full re-install? Or can I keep system data intact?
[Vibrant Android Development] notime2d8:
No, just search this forum for modems and there should be a link to ICS and JB radios in .zip that you can flash from recovery...it takes a few minutes and that's the only part updated.
[Vibrant Android Development] vinsont:
How do you "full wipe"

Is this a command line? Or is it an option I can't find in Clockwork?
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
No it's two options. First do a factory reset, then in mounts, format system. This will make everything squeaky clean so you should have a bug-free experience. After the 2 formats then you're good to go. Now flash SB and gapp add-ons.
[Vibrant Android Development] Slashazard:
Here is what I did to get this working (this is all based on the 4.2.2 build 5) :

1) Download the galaxysmtd build 5 zip.

2) Extract /system/app/Gallery2.apk locally

3) Extract /system/lib/hw/camera.aries.so and /system/lib/hw/camera.goldfish.so locally

4) Copy these files to the same locations on your phone, you may have to remount /system as rw

5) Reboot into recovery

6) Wipe cache, dalvik cache, fix permissions and reboot the phone

I hope this works for you. Getting FFC working on this phone is always exciting. :)

Vibrant upgrade - to what?

I appollogize if this is a little OT:

I've been a long time user of this wonderful ROM, but now my Vibrant suddenly doesn't charge any longer. I suspect hardware failure. I'm wondering what other people with a Vibrant and used to this ROM upgrade to, if they have/want to. Can someone please point me into the right direction as to which phone to buy next, which should be like the Vibrant easy to root, have an active ROM development going on, and a little more processing power wouldn't hurt either. ;) TIA!

issue with battery solved

hi all , i sorted out the issue with battery by wiping cache and dalvik and installed juice defender and set it to extreme , now am stisfied with battery life. since a couple of days it was really tough for me with only 3 to 4 hours of battery life.

so guys who are unhappy with battery life and still want to use 4.2.1 give it a try..
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
For those that aren't fond of the new lockscreen , I'm using Lockscreen Policy from the Play Store https://play.google.com/store/apps/...tm_medium=organic&utm_term=lock+screen+policy it disables those lockscreen bars and camera features ;)

Hey guys, haven't been in recovery in a while, but I noticed this on Semaphore/Devil that the Erase Battery stats option was removed? Is there a reason? I was going to do it bcz i'm quite sure my battery isn't set right... I lost 40% in ~1hr, then while I left my phone alone, it auto-charged itself 35% up :P
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Because it doesn't really do much. Discharge it until it shuts off then charge to 100%

[Vibrant Android Development] xriderx66:
Ok, so I've tested this and it has made my battery go higher, phone goes into deep sleep alot more and Android OS is taking 4% usage, under Root Explorer (which ive been using alot today) so its all good.

Things I did

- Wifi is set to be off when phone is sleeping

Titanium Backup frozen things: (don't freeze if you use them..) Note: If you don't use certain features, freeze them, such as Live Wallpapers etc.

DRM Protected Content

Music (I use Zplayer)

Talk

Freezing DRM has lowered by media usage in the battery settings, Talk was also being very active and started without me even doing anything. Music is unneeded because I use Zplayer.

Anyways, Every morning after your alarm goes off/you wake up, reboot your phone. Doing this, has kept my Android OS down.

All of these worked for my phone, so if they don't work for you, sorry.

Hey guys, I don't know if it's a ROM issue or T-Mobile but when I text someone once, they receive it like 10 times. It also happens when I get a text, I would get it a number of times. I'm on build 5 now. Any ideas to fix it? Thanks
[Vibrant Android Development] S1lent Echoes:
I just went through this same problem. Did you reformat the system after doing the Factory/Data reset? If so and it persists then try a different radio/baseband. Just go back a page or two and find my posts and the responses to it for links and information.
[Vibrant Android Development] phenom69:
Yeah I did format and factory reset. I have to change the modem right?
[Vibrant Android Development] S1lent Echoes:
Yes, the modem. Again, jump back a couple pages and the proper information should be there. ^.^
[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
In odd situations the baseband doesn't show. At times I'm patient and reboot and set it up and reboot again or two and the baseband and IMEI comes back. If all that fails then flash a CM modem aka baseband. I'll link again in a minute..

gmail login problem in Build 6

Everything was working absolutely fine with Build 5 and now I flashed build 6, I am not able to login to gmail/play store, it keeps complaining that user id does not match password. Just last week I did change my password but after that I was able to login when I had build 5 on my phone. I am able to login to my gmail account through my desktop but not using my phone with build 6.

I did a complete wipe (factory data reset/dalvik cache/format system) before flashing build 6. I also reflashed google apps package, that did not work either.

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Coming from cm10 I flashed the ROM, all was fine, then I restored my titanium backup (incl system features like settings, call logs, SMS etc) and now I'm stuck on the SlimBean logo when booting...

I will reflash, but what could be the cause, should I restore apps only from titanium?

Thx.
[Vibrant Android Development] jforme:
Never restore older system settings when moving from one version of android to another, it has always caused problems for me in the past, so I don't do it any more. Everything works fine when I restored apps+data only and not system settings from Titanium,

Now, try reflashing the whole thing and restore only apps+data, you should be fine.
[Vibrant Android Development] YuvalW:
Thx,

Already re-flashed, now restoring apps+data only... we'll see...
[Vibrant Android Development] YuvalW:
OK, all good now. Restoring settings was not the smartest thing to do I guess...
[Vibrant Android Development] S1lent Echoes:
Touching on the settings restore subject...... Is there any way to restore Slim Bean interface settings across re-installs? Setting up Slim Pie, Nav Bar, Lock Screen, Notification Drawer, etc.... etc... seriously takes a long time to do and with updates occurring as fast as they do, I have just stopped using the extra features as it is a huge time sink. Which really sucks honestly and is counter-intuitive since those features are designed (and well designed btw, I do love them, just not setting them up. =P) to save time by making things easier to access.

as always, great work... however since build5 (now running build6) i've noticed a large battery drain. BBS is showing that ste-gps-interface is spending a lot of time in the partial wake lock status. Any suggestions or simular experiences from anyone else?

as a side note, if i install any apps that intent to sleep the device (put in airplane mode), they wont work because the wakelock is always enabled.

(also: ignore my signature, i'm troubleshooting a second device...)
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Uninstall maps and verify if persist?
[Vibrant Android Development] pironic:
although this could work, that really doesn't identify the problem... running sans maps is rather lame.
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Does the Wakelock happen with other map apps? If not check maps settings. I remember there's a map/navigation checkbox that drastically affects battery.
[Vibrant Android Development] pironic:
correction to my last post: it actually appears to be happening even without gmaps installed... also i was quick to submit my original line. it's a kernal wake lock, not a partial.
[Vibrant Android Development] prbassplayer:
Not sure then. Simplest thing tondo is full wipe and verify if it persists
[Vibrant Android Development] pironic:
i'll start with that, then report back in a few days... i must say though, i love slim and all the work you (and the slim team has put into it). If not for this one phone i'd be trouble free since the early slim-sandwich days. Quite an awesome record if you ask me...

Hi,

Been using this rom for quite a while now. I really like it and its feature, but for some reason the phone is not smooth, every click it hangs for a around 1 second, every time I quit an application the home screen is empty and it takes 2 seconds for the icons to appear, gmail app is quite sluggish.

I thought that maybe I have something that overloads the CPU, but the battery life I get is quite good, so it doesn't look like it.

Any ideas on how to troubleshoot it? Is it possible that the phone is just not strong enough to handle JB 4.2? After all its only 500mb of ram.

Thx!

[Vibrant Android Development] edwin270:
Do not think your problem has to do with the rom, guess you need to do a few more settings. Besides I am using Nova launcher which I must say it's much faster.

And just to go a little off, wondering why halo will not be built into slim roms in the near future .

Though I have not had first hand experience with it I would love to see it in slim, and guess other slim rom users feel the same.

Until then slim rom rocks for life.

[Vibrant Android Development] Dougfresh:
Slim has never lagged hard on my vibrant. Been on it mostly for a year. People should format system and factory reset before hand. People are scared of losing their valuable data of games and apps so they skip proper steps so that's why stuff lags and acts in a undesirable way. Setting up takes 10 minutes after a clean flash. Good day!

It seems like the source is the gmail app, especially when I open a "big" email, I.e a long conversation with many pictures. Gmail takes the pics from ALL the emails in the conversation and tries to display them all at the bottom, the phone can't handle it. Is there a way to change this behavior? I want it to just show the 1-2 pics that are in the current email I'm reading, no need to aggregate all pics from all the past mails in the conversion.

fresh installed 4.2.2 build 6 official over 4.1.2 and gps is working again. However this rom is much more laggy for me than 4.1.2 which was super super smooth. Only thing is 4.1.2 didn't have gps and something was causing my phone to stay awake and draining battery like mad. Only thing different is that I'm using nova launcher on 4.2.2 instead of holo. Could this be causing the lag?
