I was thinking the exact same.

Anyone heard from [MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION]? Tried contacting him. Looks like he may have been hit with some bad weather / without power?

BeanStalk+ UberKernel + Codename LIghtningBolt = Amazing :D lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] KERKEDAGAIN:
Love the Stalk!

Quick querstion, tho..is anyone else having issues with the device always being "Awake" under the battery info? I did a clean flash and am running Uber Kernel. Tried the same setup with cFox and didn't have that problem..:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Would anyone else support flashing uber kernel? I figured moretz (that is in the oc version right?) has been pretty well optimized for beanstalk. Also checked out codename lightning bolt. Looks cool, could be beneficial, think it would make a difference?

Like the rest of you I'm sure, just looking for new things to keep it fresh :D.

Inb4 just flash and try noob :p.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] onealvideo:
This is the second place you have asked.

There is not an FM Radio in the Skyrocket.

Perhaps you should build a dev environment and work on these things.

Don`t know if I jumped the gun on this or not, but I just installed 1.215 that I found on Goo.im. Been running for about 10 minutes and looks good.

Thanks CvD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
V1.215 has now been published. Check the changelog for details. Check the Marla kernel thread for v2.0.4 changelog.

I also updated the download link to go to my beanstalk directory on goo so you can download the latest and prior versions as needed. Don't forget to check your MD5s before flashing,

Is there another launcher included along with Nova in the new version? I have Nova installed already, and I'm not sure what will happen if I flash the update with Nova in /system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JBry:
Holo Launcher is included. I hadn't used it before, but after a few days with it, I like it as much as Nova or Apex. :good:

As for what might happen if you flash with Nova in /system, make a Nova backup just in case-> no worries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Whenever you flash a ROM, your system partition is completely wiped. After which, the new ROM gets installed into it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
Yeah, I know that; but currently Nova is in /data since I installed it from the Market. I can't have it installed in 2 places at once (I believe). Not that hard to take it out of the zip beforehand, though. Just wanted to make sure there was another launcher there just in case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Yep, give holo a try - you may be surprised. It's packed full of features, light weight and very, very fast. I was an apex user for a long time until i discovered Holo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] curiouscrackers:
I dirty flashed and my existing Nova was mysteriously removed (at least I couldn't find it anywhere). Prime was left alone so on first boot I had working Prime. But there were no conflicts that I noticed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] liquidzoo:
Well, I've had a couple of hard lock / rr's when using Google now voice search, other than that the new built has been great.

Sorry no logs. I got the locks when I was driving.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cerj:
You can have apps in both, system/app and data/app. Anytime a system app like maps, gmail, or a launcher that is in system/apps gets updated, the update goes in data/app. Just letting ya know. I personally delete/uninstall, all apps from system/app that can go in data/app, so when they update I dont have apps taking up space in both system and data. On TW roms, thers so much Samsung crizzle, that system/apps gets low on space, so its a good practice to move the ones you can to data/app. on AOSP, theres usually room in system/apps, so you can push updated app to system/app if you want. Once again no need to have 1 app in 2 places.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] RaudelJr:
Thanks for the explanation. I didn't know any of this. I'll check it out and try to save up space.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
If you have Titanium Backup, it'll show you how much space is taken up in /system. As long as you're over 100 or so MB, you're fine - there's no real need to clean things out of there unless you either run out of space, or simply prefer it.

It should be set to about 617MB in total size. I was considering extending it for this ROM, but after a typical install along with google apps you should have around 250MB free - which is pleanty.

If you don't know what you're doing in there, it's best to just leave it alone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] cerj:
Use any root file manager to look at whats in system/app and data/app.

---------- Post added at 08:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 AM ----------

Thank you C n D, I should have said> if you are not sure of what your doing, moving system/apps can be detrimental to your phone. Also in TB the apps in red text are system/app, the apps in white are data/app. This is an AOSP/CM rom, so you should have plenty of space in system/app. Just sharing knowledge.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mimart7:
You can also free up some space by deleting some unused apps included in this rom. I've deleted face unlock, news and weather, unused launchers, live wallpapers, etc. Just don't delete any system apps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] car vs driver:
Beanstalk v1.225 available now. Download link is in the OP.

Added latest Marla kernel and I changed the boot animation :)

Check the change log for more updates and details.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] lazer77:
I'm still on the original build I believe lol. Think its time I update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] v3ngence:
I doubt I'll try it, v1.215 was the most unstable rom I've tried, worse than collective, pac man, etc. are there any daily driver ready 4.2.2 roms?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Krakozawr:
I have same, with original kernel (Moritz)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
Congratulations, wantowan2, once again you've come out with an excellent ROM--even working under the handicap of not having power for long periods of time :( You've wooed me back to BeanStalk with this KitKat release.

I installed the standard version yesterday, and haven't experienced any issues with it--battery use is a little heavy right now, not excessively so, and I expect that to settle down as the ROM and the equipment get to know each other more intimately.

For once, none of the cameras I use will record video, but that's been addressed many times; it'll get fixed eventually, I'm sure.

One little strange anomaly: I use GO Launcher, you've all seen my three screens if you've watched the video in the OP. Each screen has one main widget on it, and those widgets disappear randomly. The widget is still there--pressing in the right location calls up their associated apps; it's just that they don't display consistently. This is NOT a BeanStalk issue--it's KitKat/Go Launcher, as I experienced this same issue on some of the other KitKats that I flashed.

I've also loaded several apps to take advantage of the innate screen-recording ability of KitKat, but none of them work successfully. They save a zero-length file instead of a video. That's another issue that I'm sure will go away with time.

Thanks for the work you do. Once again, I'm ahead of the Joneses with this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Hmmm, ya the thing with video/cam apps. They all pretty much have to call the native/stock video akp. They are different enough from vendor to vendor that they would need to create a different app for every device. So of the host cam app is busted, so will anything else that uses it. Remember the whole 'focal' debacle? lol But you are right, it will get sorted in time.

As for the widgets disappearing. I personally haven't had this but have noticed that when/if I clean/wipe caches of any kind, I loose some apps. Particularly games. Parts of the game will still be there like game data bit the apk itself goes away. I haven't quite nailed down the cause yet. Maybe try a different launcher and/or reapply that launcher's backup
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
OK so the one thing we have to be aware of here is what the given kernel is doing at flash. Each one will/might put any number of init.d scripts and helpers in other places on your system. This ROM comes with a whole thwack of it's own scripts + a couple of mine. The scripts that are apart of Beanstalk you can control from settings, others you cannot. Bare that on mind when flashing all kinds of kernels. Unless you look into each package before you flash and know what you have on board already, you will loose track.

That said, when you flash fresh, I would say, you are all set. You have the best kernel possible and all the kit you need to optimize. The ROM comes with wake lock blocker as well. Use that alone with the ROM settings to achieve all the sleep you need. Many of the settings come 'off' be default. Other kernel's scripts may force some of these features 'on' at boot. What it is forcing, you likely already have this feature but haven't configured it yet.

This may be a combination of many features in settings including wake lock blocker, init.d support, build prop tweaks, WiFi settings, app permissions +++. This is all before installing/restoring any apps.

Also, many times, people aren't comparing apples to apples either. Ya always have to ask yourself if what you are comparing are really identical conditions (like i was saying...) ex: basic kernel package is boot.img, 20 modules, a updater script and an updater binary. Most of this contains the kernel+it's capabilities. Some devs choose to force some these features in many ways.

It is impossible to account for all of this. While I would personally add a function in my kernel to wipe the init.d folder, that's just smart. But unfortunately, that would likely not clean up all that some other kernel may have planted in you system. So bouncing from kernel to kernel will eventually cause trouble.

I would say that unless there is some new feature that you are sure cannot be achieved with my moretz-style kernel, finding the desired functionality in the ROM settings is the way to go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
You're the man as always. I didn't flash uber. Always liked moretz and don't want to screw with things I don't know too much about.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Natureboyhcg:
this is a total rookie question but how do i delete everything off my phone ... when i use the phil cwm it does all the wiping and stuff but all my files are reserved even with factory reset .. but i want to be clean like its a brand new phone that happens to be runing beansalk.. if that makes sense
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Not so sure you want to do this as it will wipe your photos and media files, and this is kinda off-topic, but in PhilZ, go to Mounts and Storage > Format /sdcard0 (internal) and Format /sdcard1 (external).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Natureboyhcg:
yup its exactly what iwant .. so many folders of unused apps and pictures etc i just want to start from scratch and reload only the photos and files i want to keep lighten the load a bit..thanks buddy..

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Smittiegee19:
A new ROM or decompling and apk maybe. Not to sound harsh, but maybe a theme would do it as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Those are called Quick Settings tiles or QS. What version are you on?

Edit: Try Beanstalk Options > Notification and QS Drawer on 4.4.205. If you're on 4.3, I think it's System > Quick Settings panel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Krakozawr:
Hi Wantowan,

Do you have a plan to update with the last CM changes?

Just ask, because I have very bad experience with the latest update (bad flash probably?) And I want to understand, is I have some reasons for waiting the new update or I should just reflash this one.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
Sorry, I wasn't clear in my post. Instead of "Each screen has one main widget on it, and those widgets disappear randomly," I should have said "Each screen has one main widget on it, and those widgets randomly fail to display." Pressing where the widget should be shown calls up its associate app; then pressing back brings me back to my home screen, and usually the widget is now displaying. I'm certain that the GO team needs to update some code to match the new display characteristics of KitKat; it's not a problem with the ROM.

Yeah, I certainly do remember the 'focal' debacle--was supposed to be the greatest thing since sliced bread, and turned out to be just a piece of burned toast. I think that's when I searched out a legacy camera--I ended up with one called ICS+--which solved the problem at the time; unfortunately with KitKat, pressing the record button gets the equivalent of "Sorry, Dave, I can't do that..." So I think we'll just have to wait for the CyanogenMod team to sort this one out.

Nothing I mentioned in my post is what I consider 'critical' enough to stop me from using the ROM. In fact, to unlock the phone with the slider, you need to slide a bottle cap from a Corona Cerveza :) Nice feature! Thanks again!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Natureboyhcg:
i recently discovered turning on ART... i have to say this rom with ART is amazing fast great battery ..once the video camera works this is going to be awesome.. i really dont understand script enough to know what to turn off and on or what they do so i imagine every one else has magic in their pockets
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
You ready????

This is probably of little use now but a good idea to keep in mind for next time. It isn't perfect but not bad at all. Basically a one click update everything. I just tested it using philz cwm touch and it did everything. Right from checking to me clicking download. Then it finished the whole thing. Asked me a question or 2 the rebooted, flashed booted back again.

I am posting this in advance of the update. As I have just tested it, the links are the only thing I have to do so, just a few minutes.... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
New Rom

Here we go! A smoother experience. There should technically be an updated change log in the new OTA app. However it doesn't appear to be current as of yet.

I have done some work on the camcorder but it still isn't perfect. Seems to be a serious roadblock with our device now. There was a mild attempt at a new app wrapper for it from the TeamChopsticks camp and I think CVD specifically but it doesn't do anything. I included an app called CameraMX. There maybe a better one out there but I chose it because it does provide video recording (After a few mods I had to make) , you only have to have the ad blocker working and it's good to go. No calling home, forced sign up, ...etc....

I am going to follow up on this post with a stock version shortly.

Enjoy!

ROM - 4.4.215 - OC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Wow, like the Holy Grail! Video recording on the SR on 4.4! Honestly, that is the one feature that has kept me from KK. Native camera app? Don't care.

I have only been running KK builds to build and/or test them for others, and kept coming back to BS4.3. Hmmmm, I wonder what I'll be doing in the near future... ;)

<fingers-crossed>Hey, will the mods you made to get the video camera working allow other camera/camcorder apps (especially KK-supported paid ones) to work too?</fingers-crossed>
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Haha, actually I had you in mind when I sourced/added the app. It isn't perfect but hey...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks, man. When I said I didn't care about a native camera app, I really meant the new CM redesigned one that's been broken.

Obviously a camera is kinda important on any smartphone, and for me personally, video recording capability is too. That's why I keep falling back to BS4.3...

So do you think your video recording mods should allow other camcorder apps to work too?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Andrw0830:
I am not sure what happened, but Thddude had a fully working Kit Kat video recording on his CM 11 build back in mid December, but the latest builds has the same blurry preview and corrupt 1080p videos like the official CM 11. One question though, is the video decoding through the AOSP browser working in sites like Youtube? When I was on the last Beanstalk when video recording didn't work, if I loaded the Desktop Youtube site, a message would pop up that "Video is not available," but once I tested CM 11, when the video recording worked, the error disappeared and Youtube videos played perfectly! Thanks again Wantowan2 for the hard work, if you need anyone for testing, I can help.

Made a dirt installation (format system/dalvik/cash), for the first look all right. By the way, [MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION], can you recommend this method for now or clean installation still be only one legal?

Also, two questions about OTA updater.

1. Updater prompt to choice cwm or twrp recovery. What about philz? Should I select CWM in this case?

2. Show my 4.4.215 as outdates. What is it? :eek:

Some

Links to kernels please.. Just give me any kernel which supports.. Stock kernel is bad.. Drains like hell... Did clean installation again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
OK, all of the instructions are in the OP. That's the first post (#1) on the first page.

Wipe cache, advanced/dalvik, mounts and storage/wipe system and factory wipe reset.

Updater: Yes, philz is a version of CWM. So choose that one.

The update you see there is the most current.. The same as the one I posted yesterday. The new ota is not quite perfect. It doesn't seem to be reading the versions quite right.

For now, as the settings only allow up to 5 hours??? O know, weird, turn checking off and check manually every 10 days or so. Make sure you know the version you are on by checking settings/about. Before you check the updater. (OTA) So you know if there is actually a new ROM available.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Are you asking for something?

Are you running a Skyrocket?
