rasbeanjelly FAQ

note: This post is linked from the OP. So as more questions are asked, this FAQ will be updated.

Last update: 2013-01-09

R1) Where can I get the Rasbean rom? When's the next update coming?

Grab it over at Euroskank. Updates will come whenever Rascarlo feels the need for one. The rom is built for a select few, so nothing is owed to you in terms of updates. If you want nightly updates, this isn't the rom for you.

If you are on a GSM Galaxy Nexus, grab Maguro. Other devices will come in due time.

R2) What's the difference between OTA and Full?

As of 4.2, all builds are now Full.

R3) Do I need to wipe cache? dalvik?

If you are coming from a different Rom (read: NOT Rasbean), then you will need to wipe cache, dalvik cache, and for good measure, /system. It is also HIGHLY recommended to wipe /data and start from scratch since your old Rom can leave unfavorable remnants that do not work well with Rasbean.

If you are coming from an older version of Rasbean, just wipe cache and dalvik cache and then flash the update. You will usually retain your data just fine.

R4) Is Rasbean based on xxxxx rom?

No, Rasbean is built entirely from AOSP with custom tweaks by rascarlo. It's close to pure AOSP Jelly Bean.

R5) What kernel should I use with Rasbean?

Trinity, what else?

R6) Are there any mods I can use on Rasbean?

Sure, try Lichti's mods. There are also mods linked within this thread. Check the OP or search the thread for user contributions.

R7) Can I use a different launcher? Which one should I choose?

Use whichever one you feel comfortable with on your handset. Stock, Apex, Nova, etc. are all known to work.

R8) What happened to the battery percentage and other tweaks?

They are all located under Android Settings -> Build Tweaks. In the 4.2 releases, they are not available yet but will be soon.

R9) Will Rasbean incorporate a theme engine?

No, not at this point in time.

R10) Android 4.2 is out, will Rasbean get updated?

Yes, it has already been updated. Check this thread as well as the DerKernel.com Forums for updates.

R11) What is busybox and why do I need it in Rasbean?

A lot of root apps depend on busybox to perform certain duties. Simple functions like running the fix_permissions binary requires busybox.

It's not installed by default. However, the busybox install app by stericson is included in the rom. All you will need to do is open the app and run the installer. When asked for a location to install it, the preferred path is /system/xbin.

So before you submit a bug report that the ROM is not functioning right, check your busybox installs!

R12) My data speeds are not as fast as I had hoped for. I'm on GSM, what can I do?

Try adding the following lines to your /system/build.prop. An app like root explorer will allow you to edit the file. H/T to simms22 for providing these settings.

R13) My Google Now is missing completely! Where'd it go?

Download it directly from Google Play.

R14) Where's the developer options in the latest RasbeanJelly?

Go to Settings -> About Phone and tap the build section 7 times to enable the developer options.

R15) How do I adjust screen transitions on Rasbean?

By default as of 4.2, transitions are enabled. To double-check, go to Phone Settings -> Developer Options -> Turn on the animation options to at least 1x.

R16) Do I need to flash a GApps zip?

Yes, as of the Dec-08-2012 release, you will need to grab the GApps zip linked on the same download page and flash it right after flashing the rom. It is highly suggested to use TWRP so you can queue your zips for flashing.
