Ok guys, this one should be good. Has been up on goo for a bit but here you go!

Was able to incorporate the good parts of cm's new Camera wrapper. They are trying to make it work with about 10-11 devices and with 6 of them working on it, I decided I couldn't wait any longer. Besides, as of 2 days ago, they officially busted CM for Skyrocket and Hercules....lol Can't say I didn't warn them...

Anyhoo, we have working 1080 cam/camcorder now! Crisp viewfinder and fully compatible with the PA Google Camera flashable. :good::silly:

Remember, google cam even reminds you as it opens. Trying to capture video while in portrait remains unpredictable. Failure/upside down recording etc... This will only increase as time goes by till it wont even allow camcorder to start.

3 second delay remains. This is where I had to jump ship with what cm was trying to do. It involved some nutty kernel mods and a change to, in my opinion, the completely wrong "media" repo. (this is why it's broken now for them. when they realize it and revise the approach, I will see)

Seems BeanStalk's main dev, Scott, has taken some kind of unannounced break? This is why the main version # hasn't changed. The cam improvements alone are great but I have updated the kernel as well. There is a lot of movement on CM's gerrit right now. So I have included mush of it. Mostly code cleanup and tweaks. For me, these are the fixes that make the most difference anyway. Stability, usability and speed.

As the rom has adopted more and more features, the need to ensure that it is set up fully has increased. Essential I think.

If you flashed it and did nothing else to the kernel, it would run, sure. But because there are all of these kernel mods included, the tend to get into kernel space settings really early and end up setting new defaults. The new ones are baseline and not all are what I set them to when I made the kernel. NO BIGGY. It has to do this so they apps/tweaks can work. Does mean that taking a few minutes after you setup superuser and security but before you restore apps, to go into perforence control and make your selections. Tick ALL of the boxes even if you just select defaults.

Same goes for buildprop mods and init.d scripts. With these, however, try to be smart and remember what you did in performance app. If you set min frees in there, don't select it in init.d tweaks. Same for read ahead on the I/O etc...

Reboot and then your set. Should FLY! Mine does... Infact, I use the same resource HEAVY game (BeachBuggy Blitz) to test with. Better then a benchmark IMO. For all of the roms I build. Compared to Nexus5 w DirtyUnicorns/Faux123 kernel fully tweaked with Faux's kernel app, ours compares toe to toe AND out performs it when it comes to legs. OURs I can play on and on. While on the Nexus setup, I start getting screen taring and lag as time goes on.

Enjoy!

Hey, make sure you have the right 'Radio" on there too. I think I have the link in the OP or it's in the stickies... This radio flash you should only need to do once as it doesn't get wiped between flashes.

So, it's either that radio check that isn't passing or you have a bad download. The md5 or sha # is always available on the download site and so if you can find a way to test the zip after you download.

There used to be a windows md5 checker/hasher in the stickies and if you are on linux, use the package manager to find GtkHash. Does the same thing.

rom md5=9a1bda7e7ba5ba5c552a84fa529f917e

Then go back and start fresh. I would have all on the phone, ready. Boot to recovery, flash the recovery, reboot recovery, wipe cache and dalvik, flash the radio, reboot recovery. Follow the instructions in the op.

Nutty kernel mods? Wrong media repo? Is there something wrong with using more advanced vidc drivers and a more advanced media HAL? If you took the time to understand the kernel mods instead of blatantly criticizing them then you would realize that while quite a bit of CM's kernel changes are nutty, a lot of them are not and are necessary for good functionality with KitKat. For example, you will never be able to fix the 5-second camcorder delay without modifying the kernel. Do you even understand what purpose the media repo serves?

Also, your kernel source is not posted...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
One of the changes that CM 11 did was that LTE is now working by a merge in celox-common. Is that now merged into Beanstalk or do you need to use the Connection Manager. Also I belive the only change that CM did to enable the media-caf was to add this line "TARGET_QCOM_MEDIA_VARIANT := caf" in the BoardConfigCommon file in the msm8660-common repo of the device. So wouldn't that not need a modification to the kernel? Thanks for the work, just wanted clarification on those two issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Natureboyhcg:
I can say this may be the first time the update details and following replies went wayyyyyyyy over my head..guess I'll wait to see more comments before I flash. I don't usually do many tweaks after flash.. Usually I'll dial back the clock for battery and change the kernel to something that's battery friendly. I'm understanding about the camera..No big. Netflix work?

Try ViperAudio, it might help temporary.

Can we overclock this build or it's not safe to do with this one ? The release note confused me.

I am pretty sure he is free to say what he wants as this is his build and can do what he likes.

I personally like what he has done with the ROM and works perfect for my phone.

Great work wantowan2!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wvhellbilly333:
Noticed this as well, is there a line in the build.prop or somewhere one could edit to fix this or does ViperAudio work for a temporary fix as mentioned???

He can do whatever he wants; I'm not trying to tell him how to dev. However, criticizing the CM team's work without a good reason or explanation why isn't cool. Calling another person's work "nutty" without a really good reason isn't cool at all.

Also, doesn't matter if it's his build or my imaginary cat's build, kernel source has to be uploaded...

Just throwing it out there that this build is running great. No, RR's, camera is great and bluetooth is great. Was never a big fan of moretz but whatever you did its running great for me. Really a great Rom. Good Job Wantowan2!

[MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION], Just a quick note. Bluetooth isn't deep sleeping. Bluesleep, msm_serial_hs_dma, BluetoothRemoteDevices (partial) are running a tad rampant. My Deep Sleep and awake time are almost identical (kinda cool I guess lol). But yeah, they're not going down.

Now the flip side is if this means BT stays connected all the time, I'll gladly take the hit. If you tweak something which may result in connection loss well then like I said I'd rather take the hit I think.

Just thought you should know.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Natureboyhcg:
did you do any tweaking after flashing ?? it was alot of stuff mentioned i didnt quite understand.. i generally dont do much after i flash except turn the speed down. and change the governor.. also did u dirty flash on top of previous
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
No sir. Always clean flash and only did what wantowan2 suggested with the ticking of boxes in performance control and init.d.

I said before I didn't mind too much but I may have to jump ship till this gets sorted out.

(rounding up) 8 hours on battery - 21min screen on time - 50% Left.

Usually by the time I leave work of 8-9 hours on battery I'll still have 70% or so.

Maybe I'm just being picky iunno.

Volumes

I can confirm that when I returned to CM 11 Official, my call volume via speaker and handset returned to its former loud glory...

I then went back to BS latest build via clean flash including SD cards and my volumes are again low in comparison. Not sure why that would be...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] killablack:
My in call volume is pretty low as well but I can still have a conversation so I deal. Also with the lionheart governor my phone lags to a standstill and I've found it shuts off 1 core and is unable to turn it back on unless I change the governor or reboot.

Camera Fixed with This change!

[MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION], not sure if you looked into it since you mentioned you didn't like the way CM merged the Camera Wrapper, but I have this post from the rookie thread that I've tried on a custom rom that had the 5-second delay and it is a simple change that shouldn't effect other changes in the kernel. I am not sure if you absolutely need media-caf to make it work, but just wanted to let you know. Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=52966938&postcount=5435. Hope that helps!

I must be blind with the new menu system, I am having troubles finding it. It seems all other features of the ROM are here that I like, was just trying to track that one down, I went through menus and sub menus, I am use to my 4.3.1 , perhaps it is somewhere else in 4.4.2?

Sigh, haha. Thank you kindly! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I agree with everyone above. The Speaker / Headset call volumes are SUPER LOW, can't really even use speaker phone. The ROM is working fantastic, hope a simple volume fix comes out perhaps as a flashable .zip and we are good to go / back in business ! looking forward to that!

I tried Volume+ which is experimental way of modifying the In-Call volume. it will add the line

ro.config.vc_call_vol_steps=* to the build.prop which will add extra steps to the in-call volume range. However that did not work. Still tinkering away here to try to see if I can get In-Call volume working correctly.

Post #13 on this page shows somewhat about a fix back on JB

http://www.galaxynexusforum.com/for...yone-having-low-call-volume-jelly-bean-2.html

It seems our build.prop file does not have this line within it with the current build (in my sig) -- however this fix does not seem to work all that well :(

note: I am not complaining as I understand a fix is being worked on, I am simply sharing my troubleshooting with the board here as I am trying to gain knowledge on what causes it. Cheers on the great ROM :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
I think the volume issue is that the volume doesn't change, although the sliders do. That Volume+ app is still around? I used it on ICS lol. If it's the one I'm thinking of, it wasn't even fully JB compatible, nevermind KK! :eek:

There's a new build up on androidfilehost.com in wantowan2's files. I'm not going to link it, but it's public... I've tested it and found the volume is fixed!

Actually I found it's a flawless build from the short time I spent on it. I hope a new one lands here soon ;)

See that wink?! Dan knows something!!! When's it coming?! haha :p:cowboy:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
I tried a wantowan2 build too yesterday [20140605] Which I made a nandroid first of this build, then dirty flashed that over this to see if the call volume was fixed, and there was no change.

So I restored with hopes for a fix. Perhaps I'll muster up some time to clean flash it but for now, I like everything about the ROM, except the speaker / call volume issue

Hope the fix is here soon ! :)

There was also some other features missing from the ROM (clock widget stood out to me from lock screen) would give 'settings has stopped error' It is prob a test build so no biggie.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Why would I be able to install beanstalk on a I727R then on my friends I727R, same recovery, same files, beanstalk installs fine, but when I go to install Gapps it says:

file_getprop: failed to stat :/system/build.prop": no such file or directory

I install any other wantowan2 rom with gapps and it installs gapp as per normal and there is no issues, very strange

So with my I727R, I installed this rom + gapps fine, made a nandroid, copied it to the other phone and restored it, and the other phone works, so far with it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Ok guys, heres the deal. It seems like our main dev is MIA. Scott Hart. After 3 weeks or so of no activity for BeanStalk source or anything on git or the internet for that matter. Around this time there was a massive amount of activity on CM's gerrit and a BS is half pulled directly from CM and half Scott's highly modified version of CM's stuff, we began to fall behind fast. Seemed just as I was about to post an update anyway, it would break because of CM updates. The Beanstalk dev thread was getting full of people waiting for Scott to do something, anything... lol I finally got sick of all that and just Kanged the entire BS git repo and called it "katstalk" (lack of a better name and being in a hurry...yadda) Updated and patched a lot, huge! haha Getting caught back up has been hard because of this push on CM's part and the lag of over a month on the BeanStalk side....The idea was to change very little so others could revert back to Scott's when/if he came back. However, I needed/wanted to change just enough so it was clear that I wasn't trying to claim anything.

While I still have my good old SR, I am able to test but I don't have an active sim card in it. This poses a couple of issues but not major. Testing, everything seems fine.

This will also be the last post based on android 4.4.2. 4.4.3 is in and I have already bumped the katstalk repos, for the most part, so that will be next and hopefully soon!

Enjoy!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Interesting, I'd bet that [MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION]'s volume fixes only apply to the I727. That's what I have, not the I727R. I think there are different device trees involved there...

While this ROM may very well work on the Hercules, the OP states this is a Skyrocket-specific release...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
For sure, you could be right about that. I am using the beanstalk one posted in the main OP, it is a really nice ROM, not to say the newer update isn't. I am managing with the call volume for now, with hopes in updates to come it will be resolved for the I727 R.

I have maybe till November this year till I am due for a newer device, and have an i717 and i747M as backup. I really am trying to wait till the G900W8 releases in 64bit, I have heard Q1 next year, feel it is pointless to get a new device that is 32bit, when 64bit is around the corner.

Thanks for the input ! I hope for my sake I see a patch soon for the call volume issue. You are not the only one that said it was resolved, but I think most people are the USA version i727, Canada version is i727R
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Our I727R just references that we are on the Rogers network I believe. Or maybe a canada thing in general Not sure if other providers like bell are also named i727r

Ahh unibombz beat me to it lol

Awesome stuff wantowan2! Thanks for all the hard work!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
Yeah I don't think there is any different with hardware, just the layout on the phone itself. I know a few months ago when certain i727's wouldn't boot, mine i727r would boot just fine, so you never know. I haven't tried this yet so I don't know. Will probably try it tonight to see if it's fixed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
Right on, great to have input, the in-call volume is lower then usual, but you can notice it is lower. The speaker phone however is really low, make some phone calls to yourself, or get a buddy to call you to test it out. I'd like to see if it is just my luck or others are having the issue as well.

Thanks :)

Yea...speaker phone really quiet on this i727R. I did dirty flash this update though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Was the rotation issue that hounded the i727R on early JB versions a physical hardware difference, or was it because the orientation sensor was mounted differently?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] unibombz:
