OK, so basically the app runs a script kind of like a macro. A series of ifdefs and goal confirmations. It asks you to pre and on the fly questions to account for the variables. "if this is that, then do this..." You pre determine what you have and want. Type of recovery, what you want wiped, where certain things are. Enough to get it done, then it can automate.

There are some key things to remember but these are all pretty much covered in the OP. What type of flash are you looking for? Same as always, the options are all in there. I think the default settings are set to dirty flash. ***I think. In any event, just compare to the OP instructions to keep it simple.

Dirty Flash: While not my recommendation. Ever. Wipe cache, dalvik and format system. (System is the one that TWRP forgets to do. Notice philz unique feature under factory wipe. Asks you if this is for a new ROM and wipes everything correctly. )

This is the way to flash while preserving user data. Very lazy and will diminish the user experience. If this is what you want, set the app up like that ahead of time. If you don't have the new ROM version, do this yourself manually in recovery this time.

Proper Flash: This takes me only 7 minutes from start to finish. Everything restored just like it was ten minutes before but with a new ROM.

Factory wipe data, format system, wipe cache and dalvik cache. Flash ROM and gapps. If this is what you want, set up the app ahead of time.

The OTA has a backup transport agent. This preserves gapps so there is no need to reflash.

Ya, those pics are the same as 4.3. So we don't have all features back yet. You might be able to emulate the framework for some of those features by finding Exposed Installer and install one of the modules. Like GravityBox for kk. I don't know for sure. There are 100's of them.

Mannnn that sounds like it makes life a whole lot easier with updates.. I guess my problem is I don't have the beanstalk ota app. Is it because I use stock and not oc? Or is the ota updated not located in the apps? What I normally do to flash is download on computer move the zip to root folder go to recovery do all the steps to wipe and clean then flash the zip. But i end up losing all data text and settings. All I have ever used is beanstalk on this phone since my first flash and I have only seen the goo.im rom manager

New update is so great, i like the lockscreen blur effect, that would be awesome too if theres a setting that just like that for the notification background(blur effect). haha :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
Running the latest update since 2:30 this morning, and all looks great. I'm not sure what you tweaked, Wantowan2, but in addition to the stock camera taking videos, my legacy camera has decided to work now, as well. Thumbs up!

I have to say, that the installation turned into quite a learning experience, so if I may, I thought I'd share the results of my learning, just in case anyone else experiences the same problem.

The install went well, up to the point of my restoring my apps. I use TiBu to do a (very selective) batch restore, and about halfway through the restore, I started getting errors telling me there wasn't enough space. I checked under "storage," and discovered that of the 1.97gb available in that partition, I was using 97.24mb for apps and 564kb for cache, with 165mb available. Even with both shoes off, 97+.5+165 didn't add up to 1097, so I thought I'd check where the rest of it was. I found this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2482710&nocache=1 which informed me that there is a folder called lost+found in the /system folder; he recommended using Root Explorer to delete all these files. Of course, I couldn't install Root Explorer because I didn't have space; I sacrificed a couple'a system apps to get it on. Sure enough, there were 6,366 files in the lost&found folder; deleting them gave me a whopping 1.75gb available.

Because of all the messing around during the discovery process, I decided to do a clean install. Did, flashed gapps and rebooted (folks, be patient during that first reboot--it leaves a black screen masquerading as a brick for about 5 minutes!), and--only ~150mb available in the system folder. Back through the process, install Root Explorer, delete the lost+found folder (it's faster to delete the folder than wait for the files to show; and it comes back empty), and finished my setup process without a hitch.

Were I to do it again, I would install Root Explorer (you can download the apk and keep it on your storage card) before I flash gapps. I would also check to see if the files are generated through the install process, by checking before I flash gapps; I didn't think to do that step this time, so I don't know which process created all those files.

Also, it might just be worth your while to check that folder even if you aren't (yet) experiencing problems.

Sorry to be so wordy, but I thought that if anyone else happened to have this problem, a little advance preparation and knowledge might just save the hours of trial and error I went through.

Once again, congrats on this sweet ROM. With the added functionality of video recording...I have my daily driver. The only thing I'm missing is Listview Animations (hint hint?).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] alanjames01:
Wantowan, is there a setting somewhere that I may have overlooked where I can set a different boot animation? Someone has created a blackened beanstalk ba that I think I would like better than the white one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
If you have the bootanimation.zip, you can use a file explorer with root privileges to put it in the data/local folder and it will override the original animation.

...and I hope you share the animation, too; I'm not too fond of the new animation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] OnlySilver:
would you care to share a link to that boot animation please?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Alright now I need help guys.

So since flashing the new build, battery just draaaiiins. BBS showing its always awake. Never deep sleeping. Under battery, Android System and Android OS are the culprits. Everything else is what I know/expected. I turned off all location settings but I'm lost where to go from here. I've clean flashed twice now, along with redownloading the ROM but these 2 are still eating the battery. Any ideas?

Thanks!

Just a quick edit. I had disabled location access under settings but in app permissions it was still running. I've disabled it from there and now we wait and see.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
I waited for few battery cycles (few days) and the the device started sleeping fine. In fact, it is oversleeping (should I say hibernating :)) than the past ROMs. I also did multiple reboots during that time, might have cleared the cache couple of times. Not sure if that would have helped the battery issue. As wantowant2 explained and other explained in multiple posts, you might need to patiently wait for it to become better.

I won't generally worry about the battery performance for couple of days after installing a new ROM. I keep charging it as and when it drains almost < 10%. I always give it some time and see how it goes. YMMV.

EDIT: Above comment is for 4.4.205 stock, I am still waiting for the 4.4.215 stock version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Yeah I'll give it a few days. I never had this with beanstalk before which is why it concerned me. Thanks for the reply though. I'll wait it out.:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] londonandlawson:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
I use Root Explorer .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] _Jax_:
Well, I had to use my nandroid and roll back. As much as I wanted to wait it out and hope the new rom settles, it was just draining too fast. So weird. After rolling back, BBS showing a good deep sleep and battery is looking great again. I'm baffled.

I want that damn lock screen blur :crying: lol.

Oh well. I'll google it a bit more and see what I can find.

Edit: I don't know if anyone even cares but maybe this can help someone sometime. So, I reflashed the latest update because I'm a ridiculously indecisive individual. After some google kung fu, I found that UCCW and minimilistic text widget can be battery drains (even when your not using them, they seem to have a wakelock). Since not restoring those two, deep sleep is re-appearing under BBS :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
Thanks! This really polishes the experience!

[MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION], I agree a dark boot animation would be great.

Nice job on this, too, BTW. Solid, great battery, and many features missing in last version are back, especially VIDEO RECORDING (at 720p). 1080p is still garbled on play back, but this is fast becoming my new DD!

Also, I'm on the newest KK, but I see the updater offering me an "update" to 4.3.1015 or whatever. No biggie, just FYI.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Krakozawr:
[MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION], by the way about updater. I checked out settings and found that by default DATS wipe is ON but SYSTEM wipe is OFF. Is it a right settings?... Especially for a dirty flash?

(Yes, I'm lazy :D Tonight I spend more of 4 hours before my phone was set back to the initial state after clean flash)...

I ant get the black boot animation to work. What folder are you guys putting it in?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
After my previous post, I tried putting it in data/local, but that didn't work. So I tried to move it to system/media, that didn't work either. But in PhilzTouch recovery, under "extras" the first choice is "Replace Bootanimation." Used that, and it worked just fine.

I am using a later PhilzTouch (6.0.2.7) than is (or was) referenced in the OP. If the original doesn't have that option, search the board, it's easy to find.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Qawnman:

put the new ba in \data\local and change permissions to rw-r--r--

The included ES file explorer can do all this for you...settings, tools, root

Any body use the stock messaging app?

I notice that you can no longer go to setting then insert smiley.

the only way to insert emoticons is to use the keyboard...and this results in the dashes and colons to not turn into a android icon but instead just remain a colon and bracket.

The receiver does see an android emoticon guy though.

Like the new look of the messaging app though:good:

Thanks for checking xxthe.

It seems google added emoji, and dropped the "insert smiley" system of old; for kitkat.

Too bad, I really dislike these emoji....at least they are not identical to apple emoji I guess :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxthe:
They are actually the same as apple emoji. Like the contents at least. They have all the same faces just a different style.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Agreed. The white boot ani is harsh. For those that change them a lot or whatever.... Typically the bootanimation is copied from the sources vendor prebuilts to system/media. However, for systems with tighter security and/or some apps that aren't root either, the folder located at 'data/local' actually gets checked first during boot. If there is not a zip file called bootanimation.zip in there, then it defaults out to 'system/media'. This was also the location for (can't remember the exact name) bootaudio.ogg for vendors that used it to play with the samsung swoosh. What's handy about the data/local location is that you can leave the original boot ani in place, if you want, and it will play the new one till removed. Again, whatever location, you have to jack up the file permissions on the bootanimation.zip to rwxrwxrwx in order for it to work. (a little over kill, but safe enough)

I had actually made a dark version of that boot ani for myself right after I first saw the current one. I think we will change that up for next time....

EDIT: lol, heres a proposal. I'm not married to it. Took, no joke, less then 2 minutes. Let me know.

First, I just want to say thanks for an awesome ROM. I've been using this since the beginning, along with some others, and I really like the build on this one.

I haven't see this addressed (I could have missed it) but I'm using the 4.4.215 OC and the OTA says it outdated when you check it.

The interesting part I found by accident is if you flip to landscape, it says I'm running the latest version. Hope that helps.

Thanks again for the great work.

Hi , I installed the KitKat ROM 2 days ago . The work is awesome, thanks to wantoman. I did a clean install and the only problem tat I have is withe the Galery application. When I open and click at a group of images ( camera roll or whatsapp images) I get a Reboot . I also tested the GPS and bluetooth with a sport track app and everything is working great.

I tried a wipe/cache and dalvik and the problem with the galery app still there.

Thansk for the great work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] NoSpamDan:
No such trouble here. Here are some things you can try:

Place all your existing video files in a separate folder, then create a blank file in that folder named ".nomedia" (without the quotes).

Alternately, you could move then of your SD card to a computer. Either way, then try again.

You could also have corrupted images. An app called Scan Media Root can find and delete those.

Lastly, make sure that a computer hasn't placed . thumb files in your photo folders.

Good luck!

[MENTION=4559825]wantowan2[/MENTION], you have outdone yourself on BS4.4.215 my friend... All I can say is "WOW"! My phone and battery are loving KK thanks to you and the BS team. Awesome job!

Hey, I have a couple of camera apps that have an on-screen orientation indicator which helps straighten shots without needing post-processing. The problem is the phone is slightly skewed when both apps report the phone is level.

I couldn't find the Device menu where I've seen the Gyro Calibration settings on other ROMs in the past. It would be great if those calibration settings were to return... ;)

Also, I use Google Voice for transcribing voice mails (it does suck somewhat at that though, lol). I have it set to display voice mail playback in the dialer, but when I get a VM, clicking the notification icon causes an fc when the dialer opens. I've fixed permissions and wiped data for both Dialer and Google Voice, but it still happens. I don't think it's related, but idk.

It also happens when just selecting History in the Dialer app.

Here's the log: http://pastebin.com/4YKqpX9j

Are this one is gone from ROM?

Can you bring it back in this case?

It's very useful feature. Just for phone's usability :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Perhaps. Not sure if you have used an android tablet or not but there you see why they may not. With the added functionality to the 'recents' (long press home) menu, it seems like the intention is for you to get used to using that as an app switcher. Rather then killing stuff left and right. Handy yes but generally unhealthy really. From there, you can swipe the offending app away if you really need to. I missed it at first too. So I will keep my eye out.

You know, it really does do it by default. There is just no vibe when it happens....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Does it work any better wit the AOSP one instead?

So you have a lot of different things in hear..... ""set to display voice mail playback in the dialer,...."" What does this mean? TTY?

Is that including the stock cam app and the one I included too?

Point the cam at some object that is known level, say a window frame. (level enough for this) On the screen, visually compare the line of the level window sill (so it reads parallel), and the edge of the phone. Is the viewfinder showing off level? If it is, then it's the app

When I get a voice mail, it gives a note via sms client. I press play and it plays it to me. Is that also what you mean?

Your log, it showed the ContactPhotoManager wiping out, totally. I wonder why. Do you have identicons in effect? Oh wait....lol maybe that isn't even this rom....hahahaha
