Why X-Bean?

I have found X-Bean to be extremely good, and a great improvement on the SlimBean based ROM I was using previously. Despite leaving most functions turned on, I have found the battery life to be excellent; earlier today I changed the Governor from 'On Demand' to 'SmartassV2' but I don't think this has affected battery life very much. BLN works fine; you can either install a Devil kernel, or install a BLN app from the play store to activate it on Semaphore (I chose the latter option). Bluetooth works well, and I can now access my laptop and other devices without any problems. GPS is important to me as I have several offline mapping apps; the only change I made here was to add my country code to line one of 'System/etc/gps.conf'; this now reads 'NTP_SERVER=uk.pool.ntp.org' where 'uk' is my country code. WiFi works well, both at home and when out and about using Hot Spots. 'Update Me' is very handy too. The 1.5GB for data is also a worthy feature.

My only gripe is with the camera. The pictures are fine; but I have lost access to a lot of the options which were available under stock GB. The UI is a little clunky too. But it is still better than it was on the SlimBean based ROM I was using previously. However, as I have other options open to me, I haven't felt the need to pursue any camera apps on the Play Store.

The speed and smoothness are extremely good. When I got my Note I tried to give my SGS away but there were no takers!! Now, however, having flashed a custom ROM, SGS is so good that its use is fully integrated with that of my Note; my SGS is neither a toy nor a second rate piece of junk - it is up there with my Note on an equal footing, and used accordingly.

I'm over the moon with X-Bean 2.0. And am eagerly awaiting the next update!!!

One important factor which is overlooked with ROM selection is that of support. I have found the X-Bean team (and also the associated Remics-JB team) to be extremely friendly and helpful.

However, choice of ROM is a very personal matter: my tastes and priorities may not be the same as your own. My own recommendation is for you to try it: you won't be wasting your time!

UPDATE:

Have flashed v3. The best just got better!

can ver 2.0 be upgraded to 3.0?

if so, can it be updated OTA?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XYunknown:
Yes it can be upgraded, but you have to make a full wipe. OTA download/notifications for v3 are also enabled now.

I have installed v3 over v2 with wipe all and I have 1 issue - whenever I turn to landscape, the SystemUI is crashing. I did a reboot and it didn't help.

Suggestions? Thank you.

Thanks for the Fix.. it is working now !! UpdateMe App works like a charm :good:

Boot time is better than with 2.0, also it seems faster, will post later about battery life and test out different kernels.. Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XYunknown:
Maybe you will get a bootloop because of the different partition layout... But no prob, just pull out the battery, put it back in and reboot into recovery with the 3-button-combo. Then re-install the zip (No need to wipe again) and you should be done
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ulysse75:
I'm going to download! i'm really happy for the new relase!

but... what about this known bug?

swyping over TaskManager Button leads to FC

? It means that i can't open the TaskManager?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XYunknown:
Sure, everything is working. Just when you make a long swype over the buttons instead of just pressing them, the recents FC. But this does not happen to me in normal use.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ulysse75:
Ok

I have to reboot the phone after installing the 3.0 on the 2.0 to install also the landscape fix?

Ok I read the installation instruction!

Thanks
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XYunknown:
I think so.. I mean why wouldn't you reboot your phone :confused:

Edit: Ah, I understand what you mean.. No, there is no extra reboot required :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dadebue:
Do i really have to wipe coming from version 2.0?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] XYunknown:
AGAIN FOR EVERYONE

A fullwipe is ALWAYS recommended, but it can work without, too. I do not support any bugs caused by non-wiping. Take the risk by yourself, it depends on which Rom you had before, what you have modified etc...
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ulysse75:
Just installed... everything is ok!

The boot speed is amazing!!!!

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] ryu-x:
I had the rom flashed for 11 hours now.

Battery life is better than with X Bean 2.0, speed also improved.

Battery is 45 % after 11 hours of standby and some web surfing. (Live OC 110% / On-Demand / No-op)

Seems everything is working fine, X Bean 3.0 made it to be my favorite ROM at the moment !

Semaphore Kernel also seems to run fine, i am very happy with this version! :victory:

Helly bean uses Devil - Devil is great, but it always has that little lags from time to time for me, unlike semaphore, so the devil kernel a little bit gives one for your rom :) I really like it, installing TSF Shell over (which is super smooth and no lag regardless kernel and stuff) so I recommend that rom :)

Any workaround for this, XYunknown?

Just FYI, it turns out the PC that only sees the internal SD had a missing kernel option:

s & bigmem: what works and what not - and under what conditions...

to be more precise, s-version doesn't break anything, only activated bigmem breaks 720p-recording.

to use the s-versions with everything working a proper 720p-fix has to be installed.

for jellybean the best working is this one made by kasper_h.

@deaconsx: just switch your video-cam to 480p BEFORE activating bigmem, as bigmem doesn't work on 720p and so the camera crashes.

hope i could help a bit with that.

Task Manager Fix

Hi guys,

Some of you might be aware that the TaskManager force closes when we try to press the option key to sort apps under the download/active application tab.

one of the user from i9003 (ammar786) comes up with a fix to it and now the option key is working perfectly fine. I have test it over my phone.

If you want to update your task manager then get it from "UpdateMe" app under "Addons". Its a flashable zip so just download it and flash it through recovery.

Also, in case anything goes wrong or you want to revert then there will be a backup created in your sdcard under "UniversalFasher" and you can flash it again to revert to original one.

What I have done is - Ammar786 provided the apk and I have just created a flashable zip so credit goes to him.

more to come...

cheers,

How do you install the YouTube app on this ROM?

The version I tried on Play said incompatible update. I tried a "YouTube HD" app from elsewhere, but it just keeps telling me this will replace an app already installed, then fails, even though I don't already have it installed?!?!

I even checked /system/app and /data/app manually, and its definitely not already installed.

Bizarre.

"Please test before releasing a ROM" are you serious? I can just laugh at you. Have you any experience with the developement cycle of Software? Sure I test my ROMs. And I think that the users can confirm that I took instantly care of the rotation bug. All other not working Features are listed in the OP. If you do not like my Rom, don't use it. Over and out. I respect when people say their opinion, but next time give me facts ("crashing features", what do you mean exactly??) instead of just scaring users. If you would have a good knowledge of android and Rom's, and you had taken a good look at X-Bean, you would have seen that AOSP/removed Features/Tweaks lead to better benchmarks and a better user experience, not less.

how to set up bigmem like a boss - again...

erm, i thought what i wrote was understandable, but ok, i'll try one more time, as easy as possible:

0. DEACTIVATE bigmem in kernel manager like devil kernel config or semaphore manager

1. flash a bigmem-compatible kernel, like semaphore S-version or devil kernel.

2. right after that, flash patched libs for jb-bigmem

3. reboot your device

4. open stock-camera and change resolution to 480p

5. open the kernel manager (look at examples at 0.) you use and activate BIGMEM

6. reboot your device

7. ready!

this definetly works, it was tried and proven by many over the time, so i hope this is clear now.

for more information and an precise explanation why it has to be done in this order and this way, plz look at my last post here in this thread.

anytime you see anyone struggling to understand how to set up bigmem, just link him to this post, so he can learn not only how to do it right, but additionally can find the information why it has to be done this way.

3. Reboot in recovery

4. Flash the zip (you can get it from update app under addons)
