So I figured out how to do a successful back up and restore with TWRP 2.6.0.3 .If coming from a 4.2.2 ROM back up everything EXCEPT the PRELOAD . Then you can do your wipes and flash 4.3 with Gapps. As long as you don't backup the PRELOAD you can restore back to 4.2.2 with TWRP 2.6.0.3 with no issues. I tested this a few times last night to make sure and every restore went fine. Hope this helps so others won't have to do a bunch of nonsense flashing of old TWRP version just to get back to 4.2.2 if needed.

Oh and thanks for the update Beanstalk 4.3 is running great :)

Until Dees Troy get things iron out with TWRP, it is my opinion that you should use cwm for the time being. My personal preference is for TWRP.

Go to settings/lockscreen/background/custom image. Click it and select from there.

Oh wait, is that what you meant or the little button that you slide over? If it is, I think that is not xml, it's java. In other words it's not an image file you can swap out. It's an image that you 'spell-out' in the java code.

Edit: Sorry, my error. Didn't see them listed in the make file. This is what you would need to change but I think it's embedded by the time it is flashed. These are them:

ic_lockscreen_handle_normal.png

ic_lockscreen_handle_pressed.png

You have to click to see cuz they're white

They need to be 162x162 pixels.

Is anyone else getting a screen flicker randomly or is it just my phone? It is most evident when you turn your brightness all the way up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mlkjuggalo:
Yes was having same flicker issue . I just turned brightness way down not sure what is causing it but doesn't affect the ROM to the point that I can't use + 4.3 is still to new so I expect little glitches/bugs.

First off...great ROM. I haven't liked a ROM this much since the Sky ICS and JB days. A few things (i know these are not important, just curious) Are more camera options in the works (power shutter, volume zoom, and save to external) and would the MMS from beanstalk 4.2.2 work with 4.3, I like the customization it has? Thanks for continuing CvD's work. Looking forward to future updates

Honestly, I have up on Chrome some time ago... Maxthon is 10x the browser Chrome is, and has pretty much all the features including bookmark and Tab sharing. Still use Chrome on my work PC and phone for other reasons, but Maxthon is my go to browser on all platforms now, I would recommend giving it a shot.

Corupt file issue

Wanted to post my experience with this. I have 4 Skyrockets in family. Out of those 4, (1) which was mine, over 4GB pictures, had this issue. The other three did not. Intersting thing is, I could take all those pictures and put on SD Card, put into the skyrocket that was stil. running 4.2, gallery was fine, but soon as back in mine or another with 4.3, and gallery reboot. My solution was to finally take off all my pics, and no further problem. Two big questions. Why all of a sudden does 4.3 have issues with a corupt photo somewhere, but 4.2 didnt. Most importanly, is there any utility to determine which file or files (in this case, was definately in the DCIM folder) are the problem. Because I would love to have those photos still on my phone, but for now having to leave them off since I have no idea which of the hundreds 4.3 has an issue with. Sure I could transfer back so many at a time till I determine which one it was, but right now I am not taking the time. There must be an easy "scan" fix for those that seem to have the issue on 4.3

I've never backed up preload when making a backup. Maybe that's why I've never had issues restoring. But this info is good to know
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ka724ka:
You can also try to look up if there any 'thumb.db' file on your SD card. I think it is the one that causes the reboot in Gallery and Quickpic. For me, I just copy back the files to SD card except picture and music files.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:

Go to settings/more. Uncheck nfc.... :silly: There are many that would flame that....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
I actually played with your idea a little....with a twist. The image you supplied was mostly black but for the lock screen you have to supply an alpha chanel. (transparentcy) Plus, for some unknown reason, I decided to ad some random pic of lady gaga....lol Anyway, it worked. Here is the result.....

Look at bottom of post... Just the first 4 pics

Ya, the best I can say at this point is to look for junk files on interior/exterior sd's. : from linux: trash folders, lost and found etc.... windows: recycle bins Thumbs.db files ect. Android: A LOT of android apps create sometimes multiple directories on your cards. For thumbs, cache, trash, backup, etc, etc.... They tend to not get uninstalled with the app that made them. Android has no choice to read these as db or media files and can lead to corruption. Do a little detective work. If it happens one only one device look at the diffs. Including what apps they have not just content.

Look at above answer. It's either an app or something you are unwittingly restoring back to the card. Also, check to see if this happens BEFORE you restore anything back to it. Smart, right?

I am honestly just assuming based on memory. Last time I had to tease it out. I did some testing and it showed a 'lib' failure, huge. It was called 'harmony'. The last update to the app was aug 1st last I checked which was after us. That is as far as I got but am still working on it.

I am going to put some screenshots up in a minute that will show you the basic steps to get to where you can adjust to correct this......hopefully. ;)

I don't use TWRP but I would like to know what 'preload' backup does. As far as I can tell preload, as, "/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-num/p27 /preload" doesn't exist anymore. Sounds like the name stayed the same but the block/name changed.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wantowan2:
Sorry for the delay. I am out of town again and am doing this from my phone...lol

I would say that out of the 2, 4.2.2-4.3.00, 4.2.2 is the daily driver. If I had to pick. That said, there are a few features in 4.3 not found in 4.2.2.....and a fix or 2 that never made it in 4.2.2 that did get fixed in 4.3. If I was on a pc I would paste some examples but you should be able to find them in post 1 or 2.

If you want a great rom and don't want to worry about it for a month+++, go with 4.2.2. =-)

I've been running 4.3 now for a week or so, and I don't plan to go back. The ONLY issue I've found is with the gallery--get a reboot when I try to use it. But I long since quit using the stock gallery; I've been using Fish Bowl Photo Gallery for quite awhile--it gives me more control over which folders to display, so I can choose what to show, what not to. I really don't like having to page through a bunch'a folders like the album art for my music, saved web pages, etc., to get to the pictures I want to show to others. Fish Bowl lets me hide any unnecessary folders, but still display them temporarily if I want to get to them.

And I don't play Temple Run.

I haven't started using the 8/28 release yet, although it's loaded, apps restored, and I've customized all my preferred settings, then made a nandroid backup so I can experiment with it. I'm looking for a way to transfer my calendar--which is my most-used app on my phone--in its current configuration directly to the new ROM. I use Offline Calendar, which is SUPPOSED to create (a) separate database(s), that are not sync'd with google, but to date I haven't been able to find them. I can back it up with Mobile Backup, but when it restores--and a dodgy restore at best--it puts them all back into the google or stock calendar, and I have to once again re-point them to the individual calendars where they belong. (I use this system for my billing.)

Sorry, a little off-topic.

I did discover with the 8/28 release, Focal works just fine. I might just get to like it!

The upshot is, 4.3 does everything I need, and it seems to be a sweeter system than the 4.2.2--and that's a hard one to beat!

Oh, yeah, did I mention, one other great advantage of the Beanstalk is the fact that Wantowan2 supports his product? I've seen several issues posted in this thread (not surprising for a first release), and he jumps on the problem like a duck on a junebug. It's obvious that he truly cares that what he has created works, and works right. If it's something that needs fixed, and it's humanly possible to fix it, it's history with the next release. For that, kudos!

Anyway, there's my two-cents worth. Thanks, Wantowan, for what you do.

- for BeanStalk 4.3

(only)

Devhost: http://d-h.st/ALkPlease refer to the Moretz thread for kernel specifics, NOT SUPPORT. As far as I know, there will be no thread support for the kernel. Just a dev add on. In anticipation of this kernel source becoming available, I have already made provisions in the BeanStalk rom you have already. That includes the tweaks and GPU OC mentioned in prior BeanStalk releases in the OP. Enjoy!

I would try try it again. Long press the power to get to recovery. Wipe both twice and flash it again. Have you added any scripts or CPU controlling apps before flashing kernel?

Edit: I just redownloaded the kernel and flashed it again. Works perfectly.

I tried thrice to install the new Moretz kernel. First time using TWRP 2.0.6.3, wiped caches, made a backup and installed. It failed to boot. Not a boot loop, it just started the boot animation then stopped. Had to do a battery pull to get back into TWRP. Second try I installed CWM 6.0.3.7 first, then backed up and flashed. Same thing, it didn't complete the boot has to pull the battery again. So I restored the backup and rebooted, redownloaded both the recovery and kernel. Installed the fresh download of CWM then Moretz. Same thing, again. I have modified a lot of the ROM, so it's likely something I have done. So, now I'm going to try a completely clean flash. I am redownloading the ROM now. Will report back with my findings. If you don't hear from me in 20 minutes........wait longer.:cool:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 1BadWolf:
I tried one last time since I didn't see TWRP 2.6.1.0 until a few minutes ago. It seems that regardless of the recovery used, just wiping caches results in a failure to boot while a clean flash will boot but with the graphics problem. Tried with and without gapps, if that makes any difference.

I absolutely torcher tested it. I'm still on it. Took my nephew to a town fair up at the cottage here and used it to take video and pics the whole time. lol So how came it wipe out for absolutely everybody?
