ok

let me check that out..... thanks
[Captivate General] blopez87:
I am also using slimkat, after trying 5 or 6 other ones. It is definitely the fastest ROM I've used. It is also the most stable one for me.
[Captivate General] dawgdoc:
CM 10.1.3 - using my Cappy for Sports tracking and music. I keep it as a backup phone to my SGS3, so there is no SIM installed atm. I normally keep it in airplane mode, battery life is great, GPS works well.

Considering going to CM10.2 and maybe on to a KK rom, will see.
[Captivate General] Aimless Rambler:
Currently running 2.3.5 (KK4 - Legend 6 - JellyBean Edition). Although I've ran it through the infamous Android Kitchen and modified it to my liking, it's basically just a slimmed down, modded GB rom. When I actually have time to mess around (also have 3 other devices I experiment with and a full time job ha) I'll eventually try something newer.

Update: Got bored and picked up the Cappy. Went through the necessary procedures and flashed Optimum JellyBean by Likeman (4.3.1). Just because ... ha!
[Captivate General] ethereal_mist:
I am using CyanAOSP 4.2.2, supernexus based ROM. The fastest and most stable ROM I have used till date. Doesn't slow down after a week or even after months like few other ROMs. Have found it to be the best for my cappy.
[Captivate General] dawgdoc:
Just changed, yesterday, to CM 10.2.1 from CM 10.1.3. After one day it seems to be an improvement.

Used it for 4 hours on the bicycle with a sports tracking app, the GPS worked magnificently. I am not using it as a phone any longer, simply for tracking rides and music.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
Known Issues:

SDCard/Fuse Daemon issues (aka "Music Playback Bug"). On extended music play it can suddenly happen that the playback stops.

Camcorder - Zoom on 1080p mode is buggy see below for "workaround"

Notes:

If you are running on ART, and you're having issues with an app... check this list to see whether app is known to have issues with ART.

Zoom on 1080p mode "sometimes" works... if you set camcorder to 1080p, switch to camera, change res so zoom starts working again, and then switch back to camcorder... zoom will work on 1080p :silly: However, if you turn the screen off, or close and re-open the camera, the zoom will be broken again :rolleyes: Also, once it stops working on camcorder, it'll probably stop working on camera as well until you change the resolution/picture size

4.4 mini-FAQ

Q) My recovery won't flash the 4.4 zip... aka "Status 7 error"... what do I do?

A) Get the i9100_SlimKat_4.4.2_compat_recovery zip from this post... flash it... reboot to recovery... be amazed by new TWRP recovery... then:

Wipe - Advanced - Select cache, dalvik, system (and Data if you want FULL wipe)

Install Slim ROM + Slim Gapps

Reboot

Profit!

Q) Root doesn't work!

A) From a clean build you need to enable root access for Superuser itself. This is different from some earlier versions of android (4.2 and below) in which Superuser by default had root access on a new install. To do this, go to Settings -> Developer options -> Root access. If an app attempts to request root access before Superuser itself has access, it may cause problems with that app in the future where root requests are silently denied.

Q) Developer Options? What Developer Options? I don't see that in Settings??!?

A) By default, this is conveniently hidden from view... as it does contain settings and options that can (and will) break stuff if you don't know what you're doing. If you require access to this, Settings -> About Phone... Then tap on the Build Number 7 times.

Q) How to change DPI?

A) Currently, this feature hasn't been ported... so either change ro.sf.lcd_density to the desired value in /system/build.prop, or you'll need to install Texdroider DPI from the playstore.

Q) I upgraded and lost my sim unlock, none of the unlock tools are working?

A) Unfortunately, I have nothing but Bad News™ for you :( Seems Samsung locked everything down and Google played along... Get a "proper" (aka carrier) unlock... or use older versions of Android... There is nothing we can do :(

Q) Music just randomly stops playing... and then won't work properly until reboot and/or drains battery?

A) Unfortunately, there isn't a whole lot we can do. Due to new SDCard handling and issues with FUSE, there is a strange quirk with Exynos4 devices like i9100 and n7000 where the system freaks out and dies... users have had various levels of success trying some of the following workarounds: 1. format sdcards with ExFAT (apparently can cause issues with backups and/or GPS apps??)... 2. Put all your music on internal SD...

Built from Slim Source, no changes whatsoever.

I, Cyril, am not a developer or maintainer of any sort

These are UNOFFICIAL builds, this device is no longer supported by the Slim-team.

The goal is to provide yet another Android 4.4 option for the SGH-i777.

I plan to build as time permits; no sooner than weeklies, and I'll be sure to capture stable releases.

Massive thanks to the [MENTION=4608191]SteveMurphy[/MENTION], [MENTION=5438598]RenderBroken[/MENTION], [MENTION=5093014]razen_kain[/MENTION], [MENTION=2916435]creepyncrawly[/MENTION], [MENTION=3338871]4-2ndtwin[/MENTION], [MENTION=3528604]nimper[/MENTION] (and all of the i777 community) for the continued encouragement and support.

Speaking of community support, if the builds develop issues I will need your help finding and ironing out solutions. The biggest tip will be to see whether it's affecting the i9100 or n7000, and what they're doing about it.

If the builds start crashing, well that may be the end of SlimKat on the i777.

Happy Flashing

Thanks for doing this. I will have to try it out in a few days. I just installed SOKP. Gonna give that a few days.

Anything not working that is easy to see such as GPS, etc. I was on PACROM for a long time and it seems to be killing my battery not to mention the GPS doesn't work on it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
Another new play toy. Awesome! Does this come with the correct modem, kernel, etc? Or do we need to flash them separate? I have all those if needed, just curious. Downloaded the ROM and Slim Minimal GAPPS to have something to play with while the kids are at school tomorrow.

So Far So Good

Just flashed this a little while ago. Had a few issues with root permissions to begin with, even after going to Settings>Developer Options>Root access, but it's fixed now. Install SuperSU and selected to update the binaries, after reboot all was well and was able to uninstall SuperSU to use the built in superuser. Not sure what happened that caused all that, but it's whatever at this point :silly:

So far, I haven't noticed and issues. Even the APN settings for ST worked right out of the box. All my apps are restored and seem to be playing nicely. There were a few (Fast Burst Camera comes to mind) that didn't want to work even with Dalvic on other KK builds for the triple7 but it's all working here. Great job on this build sir. If I notice any bugs or anything that sticks out I'll let you know, but so far this is great. Keep up the good work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:

I also owe [MENTION=3528604]nimper[/MENTION] thanks for quietly nudging me in the right directions several times, even beyond xda, when it's apparent that I'm operating at or beyond the capacity of my Android knowlege base.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I don't have it installed now and it's working fine. I've had this happen in other roms too dating back to 4.2.2. Must be something I'm doing with wipes or other things I flash with roms. Either way, it's resolved and working great. Good on the battery life so far too. I usually notice immediate huge drain when first installing a KK rom. This one is remarkably better IMO.

Now to get down to it and put it through the ringer :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nimper:
Happy to help! I probably don't know any more than you do other than what I pick up from reading the forums and posts from the developers, but every little bit helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
I ran the build, but I'm still just a messenger.

I certainly can't take any credit for how fluidly this firmware works. The Slim team is definitely crossing t's and dotting i's. There are several apps, (AOSP and third-party) that haven't worked correctly on other KK builds, that work flawlessly on SLIM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] razen_kain:
I hear sabermod is supposed to make it faster. Don't know how true that is but i see devs advertising that a lot

Edit: oh and BTW, running flawless all day today. Stock kernel getting great battery life considering i just flashed it last night

Not sure what happened but I decided to just do a complete factory reset and that fixed it.

Hi i jist updated from a few month old version. First i did a dirty update and the home button didnt work so i wiped cache dalvik and system but now im having a problem with google play not allowing me to sign in. And google searcj keeps force closing. Idl what to do? Full format of everything and a fresh install?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cyril279:
FYI

Although the firmware apps and GApps are flashed to the /system partition, their user data is stored on the /data partition.

After the dirty update went sideways, you wiped /cache, /dalvik and /system, then re-installed the firmware and GApps << the semi-clean approach.

I would guess that orphan data was left (on the /data partition) that didn't agree well with your new GApps installation.

A factory reset wipes /data (& /cache), which eliminated the orphan/conflict, leaving you a clean, fresh firmware installation.

Usually a dirty-flash is fine, and sometimes the semi-clean approach can save a funky installation, but sometimes you just end up having to start clean.

happy flashing

I am a little sad to see some regular Slim features missing, but reading through the forum on the site, looks like most will be back in future builds.
