Wasn't able to replicate this, I just did it with no fc. Maybe try wiping the gallery data and trying again? I too did a clean flash.

Just flashed 21, and finally re-trying Sabre kernel again. Let's see if I have the same orientation problems I did the last time. So far though, it's been pretty slick; just need icedventimocha to update his red theme, and I'll be set.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mr. Toad:
I wiped the gallery and the problem persisted. I did restore some apps Titanium. I will try to re flash a clean install on the stock kernel. I do have about 1,100 pictures in my camera directory.

Is my assistance still needed? Lol, nice to see this on your rom Beans! XDA community coming together, good stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] greenjeans:
Hey, awesome rom, it's usually what I'm running :)

I just wanted to mention a bug in your aroma installer (maybe it's a bug in the installer itself?)

When at the Wipe screen, if I choose 'Wipe Cache & Dalvik" (the default option), the install hangs at 0%

If I choose "Wipe Data", the rom installs smoothly.

This has been the case for me for at least b20 and b21.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] repsol_23:
I got the same thing whether I wiped data and davlik/cache or just the latter. Maybe just some bug with aroma. Took a few battery pulls but finally all installed well.

Hope this helps.

Ok I was on 20.. Looked at apps while hiking with friends (geocachin). A few minutes later I tried to connect and nothing. I had Internet all that. So I get home tonight, notice a new beans, dirty and still nothing.. Strange it happened before.. Clean flash? .. Weird though

So I was curious, I use this Tasker Profile and it worked on all my phones. For some reason, it doesn't work on this phone.

The variable I have created %sms never goes any higher than 1 even if I receive multiple messages. Can anyone help me with this? Do I need to make it a global variable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
I actually had that happen once on b20. Don't know what caused it. It's never happened again, so I just forget it happened :D

So clean flash from random mess up?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BoostedB18C:
Preferred method switching roms (even just going up a version) is to clean flash. When it happened to me, it was only the one time and never happened again. Recently I ended up formatting internal sd, clean flashing, and reinstalling apps from store because I had so much random stuff.

Again, yes that is the preferred method.

I'm loving B21, Beans. Great work as always.

I've read every post since 20 dropped to find this answer & don't see where this was asked. If I'm wrong, please forgive me. How do I change the status bar transparency in ROM Control > Status Bar Mods? Or is it for changing the color only?

I have checked & unchecked the box, moved the slider all the way around, rebooted & it stays solid black. I know that I can do it in Xposed but I prefer not to mess with that. What I want is almost full transparency....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
Make sure the slider is all yhe way left and for me I have to pull down the notification bar once and then it goes transparent. .. hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Irisht:
I am running TWRP 2.6.0.1 here as well and I too had a hang up that required a battery pull. However I was lucky because the install finished and when I hit Next to reboot it froze. Pulled the battery and let it load up and all is well in the world.

Nova does beautifully. That's why I use it over Apex. All browsers can import home screens now pretty much and most can back them up but Nova is the only one that backs up and restores widgets

Can I do a dirty wipe from Build 19 to 21? Or should I put 20, then 21 on? Or full, clean wipe? Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
Clean wipe and 21. Doing 20 then 21 would make no sense. They are all full builds. A lot was added in build 20 and 21. You can try to dirty flash, but DO NOT post issues till you clean flash buddy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Obsidian...:
Yeah dpi will change the size of everything so the smaller you make the dpi the smaller everything will look (displaying more) but that doesn't change the look of the app (phone, phablet or tablet ui) that is controlled by the screen (dp) (see below)

So if you want an app to be displayed in tablet mode change the screen dp setting until you find the ui you like (it's great for things like YouTube) then change the dpi setting until that ui looks right on the phone.

If you just change the screen dp to display the app in tablet mode everything will be far too big because it believes that it's displaying it on a 8.9 or 10.1 inch screen.

This is also true for the dpi setting. If you just change the dpi setting you'll only change the size of everything that's on the screen not the look of the ui.

Also you can force an app to not display the status bar for things like Google Maps where it takes up real estate by always being there. Just check the full screen box and save

Hope this helps you understand the logic behind it. Once you understand that the rest is easy because you don't have to restart the phone for the changes to work. Just use recent apps (mine is set for long pressing home I don't know if that is the default setting but it works great) button to switch back and forth.

Edit: Fyi I like Gmail better in 1000X1600 because it shows more of the emails and less of the folders. Compare this pic with Bizacks pic and you'll see what I'm talking about

Edit: about the text issue you should just update to B21. I'd personally do a clean install to get rid of your issues for sure but either way update and it should be fixed. If you don't want to do that try just wiping both caches in recovery and rebooting. But honestly B18 is getting really outdated now

Post 3 had the above link. So I downloaded. Now, I'm running Beans ROM, FYI. First thing, make sure Busybox is installed. I installed from Market and did Normal Install within Busybox.

The Apps2SD script was initially saved in Download. I moved it to /System/etc/init.d folder, using Root Explorer.

Install SManager as stated in link.

Browse as Root

Went to System/etc/init.d folder. Select the Apps2Sd file and click on SU & Boot...click on Save. Reboot.

That should do it. Went to Titanium and it shows my 64GB as my internal storage. Installed Dark Knight Rises and it's going to my microSD card.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] gr8fasushi:
I have a very noobish question. I'm a very minimalistic kinda guy. I don't like having stuff installed on my phone when I don't use it, I like everything managed. In Aroma installer, when I choose Nova launcher, does it only install the nova launcher by itself? or is it essentially still installing touchwiz with the nova launcher overlay? I'd like to keep my running resources to an absolute minimum. Again, sorry for the noob question. I purchased nova launcher prime, but can't stand the fact that touchwiz is in the background irritating the hell out of me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] SOTK:
I'm fairly anal when it comes to what's installed on my phone too. I just use titanium backup to uninstall any apps I don't want including system apps; however, I believe the TouchWiz launcher is not installed when you select a different launcher through Aroma.

touchwiz isn't just a home app, its the menu's, ui, etc. so touchwiz is not in the background, its in front of your face, any time you access a menu, open the camera (which is awesome)

if you hate touchwiz so much, use cm10, and enjoy the aosp camera, and lack of multi window, spen, etc.

touchwiz is awesome, combine with apex launcher i personally think its the best "android overlay"

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Obsidian...:
Ah what all do you use that for? I would assume that the customization of that app makes a ton of variables that have to be right for it to display your creations. It's probably more of a data restore issue with that app than a restore issue with Nova. I've got a couple widgets that take a couple seconds to run through their settings when I do a clean install.

I just use the edit feature on the icons themselves to make my one off icon set look right on my desktop so they restore fine but I haven't messed around with moding the widgets themselves too much.

I don't use tasker but if it is registering a value of one for the variable it must be reading that you are at least receiving messages. I know tasker automatically creates the variable and sets it to zero once something is added to the "variable" by a counter but somehow yours must be getting reset otherwise the variable wouldn't exist. A zero variable in tasker doesn't exist because it hasn't been created yet.

I would assume something is happening to your code and it isn't ending after the counter tells tasker to create the variable and add 1 to it (even though the value of the variable is < 50, 100 etc whatever you have it set for). If this is the case you should have a ton of single message backups being sent because the whole program is being ran every time you get a message.

Is this correct? Runs backup after every received message? If not somehow it is failing and still resetting the variable. Which means it's failing after the counter adds one and after it resets the counter. I'd have to look at how your code is written

Build 21 is just as awesome as the previous ones, with one exception...

Just like in build 20 (when the xtheme module was updated to beta5) after installing the framework and applying a theme I get stuck in bootloop until I reboot into recovery and disable the xposed framework altogether.

Such a bummer because everything else seems to be pretty close to perfection with this ROM. I know theming isnt all that important in the grand scheme of things, but it just doesnt make sense why the xtheme module doesnt play nice with Beans. The only time it did was on build 19 when the version was beta4.
