Great ROM! For the most part its really working well for me.

I do have this one issue that I can't seem to figure out though, and I don't think I saw in this thread. Randomly, my audio will stop working. This means no sound from games, no phone ringing, no text alerts, no alarm noise, etc. The only way I can figure out how to resolve this is reboot - and then everything is good again.

When the sound is not working, there is no indication that anything is wrong except for the fact that it doesn't generate sound.

Any ideas???:confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mouhaboo:
you should check everything except 1,4,5 in beanstalk init.d scripts in settings to increase the battery life of your ion and fix the laging issue ... I tried it and it did make a huge difference !! :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tmahmood:
thank you very much, I've checked them now. Hope this fixes my issues.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
Hi mouhaboo, Do I need to do this trick every time I reboot my ion? It seems like items are all unchecked whenever I move out of int.d settings window.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] parthv21:
Same happens with me... The options don't stay selected...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] MrGezz:
I only use quick setting panel to set it to use 3G only,or you can dial #*#*4636#*#* , then go to phone information , there you can set your network type , or add this line/change it "ro.telephony.default_network=2" in build.prop

Viber

Great ROM! Really fast responses but battery seems to consume faster than OpenSEMC and much faster than 4.1.2 released by optimumpro. But many people posts that battery is improved so I'm not sure what causes it.

Other than battery, I'm facing an issue with Viber is not working. Clean nor restore from Titanium. It says I cannot talk or send message. All other message apps are working fine, such as FB messenger, LINE, Hangouts.

Viber worked fine with OpenSEMC ROM. Does anyone else have issue with Viber on BeanStalk?

EDIT: I installed Viber 4.1 (previous version) and this did the trick. It seems like Viber 4.2 has some problem with KitKat according to some posts in different forums.

I can't upload videos on instagram... And also how to add tiles in the status bar? ????

And can u plz add an app lock feature in the next release...

That would be great!!! :)

Also the features mentioned by [MENTION=3339686]ben cherian[/MENTION] would be great!!!

Also a sleep timer feature like we have in clock app of iOS would be wonderful!!!

Thanks :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
For statusbar go to settings>beanstalk options>notifications & qs drawer>tiles and layout option under quicksettings

Upload and download arrows below internet icon is also needed cos in remote areas one can check about his network connection

Yup app lock feature is needed , its inevitable . Lots of SCREENFLICKERING issues going on in many apps like in nakedbrowser,whatsapp but can live with that . Hope it gets fixed soon . Am using textsecure messaging app now as it has got password

Regarding battery android system consumes around 16-18% constantly and google play services around 10-15% and android system ui around 8-10% . Maybe someone can help to figure it out and fix it
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] anonym6x6:
same here :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
OK, I reply to myself and here is what I did after my post. The battery seems like lasting longer after following tweak.

In case I messed up the system by any reason:

1) Backup using TWRP

2) From TWRP, wipe System, Cache, Dalvik, Data

3) Install Beanstalk & Gapps again

4) Restore "Data" only

5) Fix permission

6) Reboot

I may have only needed following settings:

1) Setting > Beanstalk Options > General Settings > Suspend Actions > Switch to 2G & Disable GPS

2) Setting > WiFi > Advanced > WiFi Sleep Policy >>> Only while Charging

3) Setting > WiFi > Advanced > Always Scan >>> OFF

From Battery Mix log, system was taking quite bit of battery so I did wipe & restore. Also, suspend may not be working as I expected so I change the WiFi sleep policy. I don't like to use much mobile data so I prefer to be on WiFi more but better than draining the battery in short term :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] parthv21:
Thanks for the tip... Couldn't find the settings for those tiles anywhere before now found it...

But in cm11 ROM there was an option to add tiles directly from the status bar... There was a plus sign.... Who to enable it here in beanstalk rom? :(

thank you
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
I'v been using v2 for 5 hours and v2 seems to have---

Good:

- Awesome stand-by battery management with screen off = 2G setting & No GPS

- Snappy, Fast, no flickering. Well, "Disable HW Overlay" reduced it for many area with v1

Issue?:

- WiFi signal is weak (OpenSEMC & Beanstalk v1 also had this issue, too) and drops connection occasionally

- Battery still seems to be consumed faster than 4.1.2 when in use, but better than v1

Thanks for the brilliant work!!

I've flashed V2 today and then wiped dalvik but my phone doesn't connect to any mobile network

I've Googled it and it seems like a security bug in older Cyanogenmod versions that is preventing the phone from connecting to any network

Looking for a fix at the moment .. there is an app called gfree.. I'am going to try it and tell you the feedback but If you or MRGeez have a reliable fix for this I appreciate it .. thx :)

(fixed) error while searching for networks

never mind searching around .. thx :)
[MENTION=1467530]mrgeez[/MENTION]

in case anyone faced the same problem :

the fix that worked for me was :

1) installing rom manager app

2) open the app

3) under ( Utilities ) press on ( fix permissions ) and wait until it's done

4) reboot the phone

and the phone is able to catch the mobile networks again :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ben cherian:
Edit-i did a fresh install after triple wipe system,data,cache . And installed v 2. Now it seems ok smooth and less flickering than v 1. Will check about battery backup for few days of usage
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] taka_mass:
I start realize it's get "bit" laggy after several hours straight use without reboot. If response is the first priority (or gets too laggy and it's necessary to have better response), you can set the "Background process limit" to "4". I know many people mentions it's not necessary or let system handles it, but this "always" stays in snappy response.

Or reboot ;)

no wonder that the performance of the device using beanstalk seems like the performance of my xperia arc s using cm 11 :') although my arc s has a single 1.4 core

we must find some solution to trigger the second core to make a big difference in the perfomance :)

which means our Xperia Ion are only using 50% of its processing capabilities

I'am going to search around and I appreciate it if you ( [MENTION=1467530]mrgeez[/MENTION] and developpers ) can find a fix for this :)

can you take a look on the new optimized kernel mentioned on post number (#726) on this thread ?
