I honestly did plenty of research but since I'm a noob to this whole root & flash deal, I haven't been able to fully get my head around most things. I'm sorry to ask but could you please link me to which modems should I use? or where can I can find that cwm you referred please.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
This is a list of modems that'll work with this ROM
[Captivate Android Development] daLareid:
Thanks man! can I flash those modems through cwm recovery, flash through zip? if not how should I go through with it?
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Those should be flashable through CWM.

Great! thanks.

laggy transitions

hi guys, i flashed this 4.2.2 built a few days ago and the phone is laggy switching from one screen to another, i didn't mess with the voltage or anything fancy. is there a way ti fix that?

also what is a "full data wipe"? i'm thinking maybe i didn't do all the necessary steps...anyways a lil' more detailed installation instructions would be nice to have, some of us are noobs.

Thanks a lot guys!

Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 1][March 1 2013]

Full wipe = factory reset, format system, wipe cache dalvik.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
Hmm... could be anything. The Slim ROM itself is not causing the lag.

1. Make sure you flash the ROM right and the downloaded *.zip file(s) is not corrupt. Just follow the OP instructions, very easy.

2. Make sure nothing resource hungry is running on background. Check what is going on in Settings>Apps>Running or use any other task manager app. System Tuner is very good but very powerful as well. Be careful what you enable/disable/freeze/etc.

3. I've never been a big fan of Holo Launcher. In my experience this very launcher causes noticeable lag, doesn't matter what ROM you use. Try replacing the launcher with Apex, Nova or even ADW (all have free versions on Play Store). In my opinion all of them offer better performance. I'm currently using ADW EX and the phone is smooth as silk.

4. If you use Titanium Backup, don't restore system data from your old Android version. Just restore user apps + data. Update system apps from Play Store and set them up one by one. They are not many, takes 15min. This is what I do after ROM change and rarely have any problems.

5. Never use task killer apps and don't clear apps cache with no reason. Android OS manages processes/cache very well. No need to "optimize" too much. Android with full memory/cache runs better.

Good post, Val. :thumbup:
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
So far, I'm loving this ROM, as I've loved all Slim ROMS. Thanks to the devs for all their hard work.

Having said that, here is a short list of minor bugs (?) that affect me:

1. I like to use activity shortcuts, to get to what I want faster - all of a sudden, the Gallery>Camcorder activity doesn't work. It launches the camera app, not doesn't go to the camcorder automatically like it used to. Note: In the past I used to use Camera ICS+ instead of the built in app, but I've dropped the extra app now, so it could be that my activity shortcut only worked on Camera ICS+, I don't remember for sure if I ever had it working with the stock Camera (gallery) app.

2. There is no longer a pano activity in gallery. Again, might be that I only had this on Camera ICS+

3. When I make an internet (SIP) call using the built in functionality, if I switch to speakerphone I get no sound at all.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well if you really wanted to see if the lack of Camera ICS+ is the cause then you could always download it and try with it instead of the stock camera to see if you have the same issues or not.

[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Thanks - well, it does work with Camera ICS+, but that app has other issues (it often freezes on me). And that still doesn't answer weather this functionality used to exist with the standard Camera app in previous Slim Roms... sorry, not going to go back, they're only minor issues for me, and I just thought I would post them in case they really are bugs and the dev team decided they were worth looking at.

what about GO Launcher?? i see it's the most used...
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Maybe not, but it does confirm it's the Camera app and not the ROM itself.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
I don't like it. Used to be good, but now is 1000-in-1 launcher that takes 1/3 of your usable phone memory. Comes with a lot of Chinese garbage too.

So I dusted off the old captivate and put this ROM on it. Nice!!!!! However when I threw my Sim card in it I have no service, no APN settings. Hope I haven't missed something in the op, as I try to read read first always. Can someone layout the current APN settings? Thanks guys for reviving my old beast!

May have been a bad flash or bad download? It had a modem when I flashed beta 1.

One issue that is persistent, and I don't know if it's kernel or not, but for months I cannot use mass storage. I connect to my PC, tap mass storage, and get a soft reboot. I have to mount in CWM. This has been the last 4 or 5 versions of Slim and Semaphore.

Sent from a heavily modded Cappy from parts unknown. Slimbean/Semaphore. FTW.
[Captivate Android Development] Val D.:
For me it sounds like you "heavily modded" something that you shouldn't touch. :D

It's not the kernel and not slimbean rom, it's something specific around your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] bcflyfisher:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 1][March 1 2013]

I've had the exact same thing for an unknown period of time (I don't connect my phone to my PC much). I find that if I leave the wire connected while it goes through the forced reboot then it will work fine after it's finished rebooting.

I've tested it by rebooting myself and then immediately plugging the phone into the PC and then it works without problems.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Re: [ROM][4.2.2]SlimBean -I897- [Build 1][March 1 2013]

Slim sizer is part of Slim Center (OTA). Basically allows you to delete system apps and slim down even more if the user chooses to.

No it's not you UMS has been causing problems on 4.2. There's a reason why UMS is being dropped for mtp in newer devices. The reason is, as far as I know, when you mount your so cards to pc, with UMS, they have to be unmounted from the phone. If you have files being used by system, like for example ring tones, the system freaks out and soft reboots without using those files. Usually able to mount afterwards. Simple solution use MTP.
[Captivate Android Development] yaibakt:
i think you are right.

i use a ringtone stored in the folder sdcards/ringtones/. always after this "soft reboot", my phone shows "unknown ringtone" in sound setting, and have no sound while having incoming calls. i have to set the ringtone again all the time.
[Captivate Android Development] Gatech:
The only problem I have on SlimBean 4.2.2 is the low volume (even with highest volumes). I never hear the ring when calling (tried with a lot), also with notifications.

How to boost volume?.

Regards.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Same problem here. Some (imperfect) solutions are:

1. Use Voume+

2. Or, amplify the ringtones, etc, that you use. Try: MP3 Aplifier - not sure if it works with .ogg files though...

3. MX Player gives you louder volume for many videos.

I'm also finding this issue. I came from build 1 and that had no problems either. Any insight? Might have to flash back to the previous build.

In regards to the Aroma installer, I found that after I installed with Aroma, I got a message in CWM stating that the installation had failed. Not quite sure exactly why, but I went and d/l the slim gapps, google now, and extras file and proceeded to install them manually. No issues there.

The last build of Slim on 4.2.2 and GasBuddy worked fine. It's something to do with the new slim build.

I tried dirty flash of build 2 over build 1 but noticed some issues with installed apps no longer showing in my screens or the app tray. Did a full wipe/reset and now all is well.

What's more, does any one use UC Browser? I find a terribly UI displacing in the latest build( 4.2.2 build 2), which never happens in the former build. Any idea?
