[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I wish there was some comparison of ROMs - e.g. list of features. With so many ROMs around, I don't know what to choose :) And I don't want to waste my time trying many ROMs. I've tried about 4 different KK ROMs, and each one takes time to set up and check what suits me and what doesn't.

Anyone knows if such a comparison exists? All I could find was some thread here of "ROM shootout" which is not very useful for me (as it just gives grades to various aspects, which is not very objective), and some review of older (too old for me) ROMs in some website.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kenshiroSG24:
For the S2 I'd definitely stick to beanstalk because it's pretty slim and does the job for a KK Rom. Compared to all the others I'm using this one myself and it's pretty perfect.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
Ive tried them all, this is the best by miles. Maybe AOSB will be better but as of now, this rom is the best.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Super-Bosnian:
Just wont to flash latest 27\01 Beanstalk and see that you want to upload new rom than i rather wait to try this ProBam rom...looks really nice and I like long feature list :)

THANKS SOOTI :good:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
I have problem, anyway the ROM works fine, but

one thing bothering me. I want install dead

trigger 2 from google play, but it say its not

suported or something like that. In previously

4.4.2 KK run great, any suggestions?

And for tweaks, any experienced advice?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
Dead trigger 2 working fine here. And I use android tweaker pro for tweaks.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
For me Dead Trigger 2 is not even listed in google play, but previous DT 1 is, i dont know what is bug, maybe id of phone when i installed ROM.

Do you use beanstalk buildprop tweaks? or just android tweaker?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] budsixz:
Did you change the dpi?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] materijalmen:
Guys, where can I find the download link for the ROM?:confused:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
Yes, u think that is problem? I gonna change it to default, and try.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
Yeah, Ive not touched the dpi or buildprop at all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
Nope, still same, change dpi and restart, maybe is beanstalk init.d tweaks i enabled. so i am in doubt, did i use tweaker pro or buildin tweaks by bean, both has great options, but i need safety and battery friendly.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
Ive not adjusted anything, my battery is great and had no issues at all apart from the navbar appearing on reboot, which is down to exposed and my random 2 battery icons, which is more cool than a problem :)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
yes indeed, battery is great if i compare to other rom-s KK i tryed, thanks to dev ;). what kernel u use?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
erm... according to about phone, its 3.0.64-cm but as far as I recall, its the one first mentioned in th OP. Its always worked so Ive never changed it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
Is the ART instead dalvik stable enought to daily use, because i had problems in other ROMs, system just restart, switch on dalvik at startup and erase all my usher data, which is pretty annoying.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
Im on dalvik, have no need or use for ART and it plays silly buggers with exposed, so I dont see the point.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
Agreed. And u use gapps core or full? I flash full zip, but i dont see point of it , because i dont use a lot of google trash apps.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
core, then root uninstaller and removed gmail, hangouts, etc... only kept the play store.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] kulitom:
ART is stable, no problem with daily use, but i have another problem on this rom. When i install apk files, sometimes i see 'app not installed'.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
Yes, tonight i will make a fine clean install, then will see :D. This rom is well dev!

Thx, ill try it. Yep same problem with apk, but on some, not all, i think its due compactibility.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
Oh I didnt mean it wasnt stable, just meant it was no use to me, so I dont use it.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
yep, i get your point u say. just one thing, i played dead trigger 2 on JB custom of course and it lagg tooo much even on low sett, but on KK its run smooth on high :D, and that is great because it is only game i play on phone.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] s_m_a_s_h:
Ok peeps I've read some previous posts about dalvik & ART.

Which is set on boot? How to change the option?

I understand not all apps are compatible with ART so what are the benefits of each, specifically to this ROM?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
On boot is dalvik set as default. U can set runtime in developer options. App run 15-20% faster than instead on dalvik, and use a bit more phone memory(not RAM)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] s_m_a_s_h:
I just read about it all. Dalvik vs ART.

I will try ART at least till a problem occurs.

Jeez.. :(

Anyone else having this trouble?

Android System is still keeping device from going in Deep sleep, have tried everything now

Dirty flash

Reflash w/o Gapps

Reflash with custom kernel

Still no go same thing happening everytime

Please guys help me sort out this prob, really want to use this ROM as my daily driver :crying:
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
I can suggest only to try gustavo kernel, i running on same and no problem at all.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lovegambler:
Buddy currently I'm on Gustavo's Kernel same thing

Thinking of flashing previous build

oh nd [MENTION=4460995]sooti[/MENTION] the changelog you gave for the latest build is not correct..

BeanStalkOTA nd lauchers were still there in the ROM
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
I suggest to check your settings. I am using the build from 27/1 and the phone goes to sleep. Maybe your settings require some sensor to keep working all the time? (Maybe pocket mode can do this, or some other settings)
[Galaxy S II Android Development] materijalmen:
Am I the only one retard who cannot find the download link to the ROM, or just the members are so helpful to provide me the link...

???
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
It's on the first page, the link is titled "Download", but you're right, it's not very clear :)

Here it is for reference: https://www.mediafire.com/#u4amdvo2tei3o

But you should always check the first page, in case there's a new version (which will probably have a different link).

Edit: I'm sorry, I think something happened. Maybe MediaFire does not let anonymous downloads any more, or something went wrong with the link - I really don't know.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sooti:
try now, fixed the link.

also building new nightly right now
[Galaxy S II Android Development] lovegambler:
Settings are intact buddy

As i said have tried everything possible..

Have even used only ROM after flashing, no gapps, no change is settings only turned off location, but having same issue always
[Galaxy S II Android Development] materijalmen:
No, mediafire does not let anonym downloads, which is a big sry. Do we really have to create an account there in such a user-data stealer era? I mean, why just not upload on a clean, register free server?

[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Thanks, but what has happened in this build? The Holo launcher that I used is gone! There's only "operator" and "trebuchet" launchers... all my icons are gone. Was there a problem with the build, or did Scott deliberately remove this launcher?
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
yes u probbably right, i read all about it, and it seems that be a cause of problem, gonna try later before i flash a new ver of ROM.

thx
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Last build (from today, Feb 3) is lacking...

I noticed that today's build is smaller in size than the previous builds. I have built this version on my own, and I do have all the launchers that the previous builds contained, including Holo launcher. So I think something went wrong in your build (or otherwise maybe you removed some stuff on purpose to make the ROM smaller?).
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eda80:
the most appropriate Gapps link you give.Thanks:D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sooti:
The second option, Removed bloatware, you can install all those apps from google play, otherwise they just take up system space
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Skorvy:
I am on previous build, and for 3 days of use i can say that i stay on it, no need to go on next release until get stable again.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Can you specify which bloatware you removed? [Edit: No need, I checked already - only the Apollo player, the launchers and OTA (and maybe one or two other small apps)].

If I install the Holo launcher from Play Store after installing the new build, will it restore the screen arrangement that I had before installing it from Play Store?

---------- Post added at 09:41 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

Well, it's stable. It's just that some launchers and the OTA were removed. Like Sooti said, you can always install them later from the Google Play Store.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] eda80:
most suitable for this rom please link GAPPS.Thanks....

Hi, I just realized I made a mistake, I have posted this question in Cyanogenmod 11 thread. :o

The question was:

Hi guys,

I have this rom on my GS2 from one day and I'm very happy with it!

Just one question: I can't find an option that I like very much, it's the "answer with home button". Usually it's in accessibility menu, but I only have "chiudi chiamata da ON/...." that in English sounds like "hang up with ON/..." and I can't read the final part. I have also looked for it in the options of call menu, but without any result.

Can someone please help me? Thanks!
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Is there a way to add a shortcut to the Quick Settings (or the Power Widget) for toggling the Active Display?

I'd like to turn it on normally during the day, and off during the night, and such a shortcut would make it simpler.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] Super-Bosnian:
go on AOSB rom posted by sooti you have there screenshoot from notifications and they are same
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Can you provide some comparison of the various ROMs?

I've just taken another look at the Gummy ROM, and it seems to have the same features as Beanstalk, but its menu seems more organized than Beanstalk's. It seems like these KK ROMs slowly get to merge code from one another and eventually they are all the same, except for the way the Settings looks...

[Edit] Ignore that. I realize the list of features and the stability can change from day to day. No use in writing a comparison...
[Galaxy S II Android Development] robneymcplum:
in terms of features etc... as of a few days ago, beanstalk and revelution remix were both fantastic feature wise but BS was just a lot smoother/faster and the battery life was better. NOW beanstalk and AOSB are as fast/smooth and battery life seems as good for them both so it is down to features. I will stick to BS as AOKB has so many cool features but to me that is a negative point as I dont and wont use them.

So, my opinion, both installed on the same kernal is AOKB has the most features, BS is my favourite as it has less features/less bulk and then revolution remix is also good but 'in my use' wasnt as smooth/fast and battery life wasnt as good.

Again, all this is what worked for me and how and what I use the phone for, may not be the same for everyone.

If gummy rom looks nicer for you, then use that one as you are the one that has to see it everyday :) AOKB has loads of options for adjusting lists/scroll/menus...etc... way to many for me to bother with.

Ok given the fact that the new update doesn't have Nova launcher, if I dirty flash (as I should be able to simply flash the ROM ontop of what I currently have) will I lose the Nova launcher I have, with the new flash, and/or will my home screen get messed up cos of the lack of Nova in the new ROM update (as i'm usisg Nova as my default homescreen).

Note to self; should have chosen one of the other launchers!!!

[Galaxy S II Android Development] sooti:
Guys this is what you are asking for:

Doc comparing ROMS
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sreinst1:
Yes, you will lose the Nova launcher, but the Nova launcher allows you to save the home screen and then restore it later. So you can install the new ROM, then install Nova launcher from Google Play Store, and then restore the home screen from what you saved.

Just make sure that this feature (of save & restore) is supported by the free version of Nova, and not only by the Pro version.

Re: "Note to self" - other launchers were removed as well, not just Nova. My preferred one, the Holo launcher, which was the *default* in previous builds as far as I recall, has been removed as well, and this one doesn't have an option to save/restore that I know of.

---------- Post added at 05:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:38 PM ----------

Great doc but not quite up-to-date. Some ROMs, such as Carbon, already have KK and are specified there as latest being JB.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] sooti:
Ya its as close as possible, unless someone wants to update it.

I always look for interesting ROMS to port to our device, if it has good features or really good battery life and stability I check it out, but I think the i9100 covers 90% of all 4.4 ROMS, not bad considering its 3 years old :D
[Galaxy S II Android Development] AlmasSD:

Not that I know of; I've been using this ROM for over a month. If you update from an old stock ROM, you won't have TV-out and probably FM radio. But this is true for all Kitkat ROMs as far as I know.

I prefer 4.1.2 camera app (found in Biftor ROM and a few similar ROMs), as it focused n shot in seconds, the camera app in this ROM and for that matter all found above 4.1.2 take ages to focus and the moment can be lost.

Anyone have suggestions on alternative camera apps? I tried to instal in various ways 4.1.2 camera apps all failed on this ROM (no doubt not compatible).

This thread is a build of this ROM for the SGS2 i9100.

To whoever is interested, I see that there's multi-window support in Beanstalk now. I didn't know about it at all until now. I don't know if it's in yesterday's build from Sooti (I am using a build from today), but most likely it is, as I see in Scott's changes that the official build from yesterday includes it. The thing is, it's sort-of hidden; I don't think there's a menu option for this - you just go to the list of open tasks (by long pressing the home button), and then you can long-press any of the tasks and select "Add to split view".

And... the multi-window feature is disabled when you use HALO, as these conflict with one another.
[Galaxy S II Android Development] 089man:
Wow, that's is a great tip and info. I have test it. Disable halo and multi windows works fine.... With installed xpose xhalo I can also the multi windows resizing...

The next great is, if I start an app from appbar I not need to go to in recent for using multi windows. All apps starts as multi windows. Appbar I have installed from xpose with activated start in xhalo mode.

Edit...

Sizable works also fine without xpose xhalo... Here a pic with 3 multiwindows on screen... Tapatalk, colour note and my calendar... Cool
