BeanStalk Kitkat 4-4-4 resurected and remixed. For those of us who prefer stable devices versus half baked lollipops...

Changes:

1. 7 second delay (blank screen) after Sony logo and before boot animation starts - fixed

2. Camera updated to latest (no lag, no focus problems)

3. Latest libs and firmware files

4. Slimlauncher (new open source launcher from Slimroms)

5. Slim keyboard, which is 12mb size, as opposed to bloated CM's 43mb

6. Paranoid bootanimation

7. TWRP recovery

8. Modified version of [CM] X-Honami Kernel with TWRP 2.8 (must be flashed separately, see download section)

Maybe more...

Rom and Kernel (to be flashed separately) are in Download section

Credits: Original Developer Scott; Giveme13s; Alnikki25k; Cyanogenmod; Slimroms; Paranoid; maybe others - let me know if I forgot you

Instructions:

1. If you are on CWM, go to Mounts, mount System/Cache/Data and format each

2. If you are on TWRP, go Wipe/Advanced, wipe System/Cache/Data/Dalvik

3. Flash the rom (you can boot and start using it with included stock-custom kernel), but I recommend X-Honami Kernel by Alnikki25K, modified by me to include TWRP 2.8; for this

4. Flash the attached Zip file (see Download section)

I`m tried to restore the programs with Titanium backup. Many programs were restored with the original icon of Android and do not run. In Titanium backup noticed "SD card icon" next to an application. Could it be that messed up the names of the SD card path in ROM?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I am running this rom and have no problems with Titanium. You shouldn't have problems if you were running CM based rom before, but some stock apps won't work. Also, you have to tinker with Titanium restore options. Also, if you are trying to restore system app, you might have a problem (in this case, manually transfer it to /system/apps. I don't think Kitkat allows you to install apps on SD card (unless you manually transfer them from internal storage)....

how to flash the kernel?

I have to flash the kernel after flashing the rom and by using recovery?ryt? Sry for dumb ques i hav never flashed a kernel.thankyou
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] mischa_martin:
I tried this rom just after it came out.

I was pretty impressed by the camera experience.

But I think that BeanStalk is a little bit "dirty".

[MENTION=5075064]optimumpro[/MENTION]

Could you make a PA Bulid with all of your device specific changes.

I also think that an stable kitkat is better than some hacky lollipop without camera.

Thanks in advance

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I really can't touch PA or Liquid, because original threads are active. Beanstalk thread is closed. They need to be closed, since there is no further development. I have also fixed Dirty Unicorn problems, but it can't be built from sources and the current author is not responding to my PMs...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] abbychauhan:
Oh thats sad, Thanks for the Reply
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] mischa_martin:
Really?

Correct me if im wrong but I thought, that opensource means that everyone can copy the source, modify it and bulid it.

Of course with credits given to the author.

Take CM Unoffical bulids as an example. There are soo many of them.

Regards,

mischa_martin
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
You are right, but neither liquid nor dirty unicorn builds from source (multiple errors indicating missing resources) and errors in script. Sometimes, developers change a few things in sources to make it impossible to build for others. This is a way to go around GPL 3. I am not saying liquid and dirty unicorn do it, but somehow they can build, but others can't. In addition, XDA has a rule: only one rom of the same version per device forum

Memory Card Support Help!

The ROM is working buttery smooth, had a glitch with NFC not powering Off. But fixed that by dirty flashing the ROM again.

However the question that I wanted to ask was about my Memory Card. It is a 64GB one and I guess this ROM is based off of AOSP. Because usually CM based ROMS support it right out of the box. Is there any suggestions on how I can make the memory card to work on this ROM without formatting it to FAT32. Right now it is in exFAT format.

Any help appreciated :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] golagha11:
Very satisfied with the ROM and all the customization possibility.

I have a 32GB Memory card formatted exFAT from earlier installations(both KK and LP ROMS), now I have problem seeing all folders in the card. Is that because of the exFAT system, compatiblity with this ROM, or a bug?

Is it correct that its not possible to charge the phone without the phone booting up automatically? I use the charging dock.

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] golagha11:
Amazing

This ROM should have been promoted better.

It's just amazing. :D
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] golagha11:
Bypass screen security

Is it possible to bypass screen security, by whitelisting Bluetooth devices?

Whenever one of the trusted/predefined Bluetooth devices(or other connected devices) are connected, the screen security, pattern, PIN or anything else, is bypassed.

have seen that on one LP ROM. Not sure if it's built in LP or customized by the developer.

Am I by the way the only user of this ROM?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I haven't customized this. The point is if you delegate trust to a device, it should be able to bypass security. I think you also mentioned that your Z1 doesn't have offline charging, meaning that every time you insert usb cable connected to the charger, your phone boots. Unfortunately that's the way it is done on the kernel level and cannot be changed without major headaches.

Think about it this way: your government cares about you. It wants your device be on 24/7 -- for your own benefit-- so that you can communicate with your friends and loved ones. They also want to know that your intentions are pure kosher. Hence, you have builtin battery, location services (fused location), baseband, which is separate from android, has its own kernel and is hooked directly into hardware. So, for example, if your device is off for a while, they can send a signal (through gsm/cell connection) and activate your mike, camera or gps, just to check that you are OK and don't need any help. :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] golagha11:
Thanks for the reply. I have red some of your comments regarding security in other threads as well. Not sure if I should call it conspiracy theories or not.

If I don't have anything to hide, then my government can play, how much and often they want, with my mic, eavesdrop my calls, trace my location and read my SMS's. If someone has something to hide then they should be really worried.

Back to my questions:

My English is pore, and i don't think I understood all of your answer(s):

If you haven't customized this ROM, what have you done then?

Charging the phone when it is off: Not big issue, but that was possible with the stock ROM, and I think with other custom ROM's as well(if I recall it correct). Suddenly, on this custom ROM, my government cares about me?

regarding delegating trust to my Bluetooth headset or my Pebble watch. The thing is that I don't wish to draw my pattern to unlock my phone whenever I am driving(connected to Bluetooth headset), sitting in the office(trusted location) or at home(trusted location). Is this possible with this ROM or not?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
There are lots of customizations in the rom. What I meant was I didn't touch offline charging and screen lock security. In both cases this is normal behavior.

All Kitkat custom roms have no online charging. Show me one and I will switch to it. Stock roms do, but custom roms always boot when you try to charge. Jeallybean custom roms did have offline charging...

Error installing some apps

Some apps wont install on my device, for example Antutu, Subway Surfers and many network monitoring apps.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] golagha11:
Probably no one understood what I meant, by bypassing pattern/security.

My issue is solved bu using Profiles, and make any Bluetooth device or WiFi network trigger a chosen profile, and within profile, in "Lock screen mode" choose to disable screen security.
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] golagha11:
How come I am the only user of this ROM?(at least the only one posting here)

Yes , I have issues installing some apps, but I am not sure if it's may installation or caused by this ROM.

OP, any help here?

Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
I don't have that problem. Have you by any chance deleted any of the certificates on the device? Here is what you can do:

Back up the rom first, then

1. Get the attached file.

2. Unzip it.

3. Unzip the rom and replace META-INF directory with the attached one.

4. Zip the rom

5. Flash it without wiping anything. This way, you should preserve all your apps in data partition.

UPDATE

can you can update to 5.0/lollipop
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] AnrgKrshn:
considering actually using this cause it was my favourite ROM on the XS. Would you say it's stable?
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Of course it is stable. Kitkat just started to become stable when all developers abandoned it and moved to Lollipop. Lollipop is ages from being stable, and yet almost no one is doing 5.0 any longer. They are doing 5.1. In my view JB 4.3 was the most stable rom, but no one ever was able to fix the camera for Z1, yet everyone moved to kitkat.

This is the main reason custom roms are rarely stable and quite a lot of people stay with stock, because of stability and lack of bugs. Yeah, it is the devs stupid...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] AnrgKrshn:
Yeah, 5.0 and 5,.1 custom roms have a lot of screen freezes for my unit, so I can't really use LP custom ROMs for now, at least. Stock LP works well, however. I'll try this and let you know, thanks :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Cbbleh:
When I flash the latest ROM and then flash recovery I am unable to boot into recovery after that, but I can boot into Android without a problem.

[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
The kernel in this rom has TWRP recovery built in. However, if you had a separate recovery on FOTA partition, both recoveries would collide resulting in no recovery at all. So, my recommendation would be to actually erase FOTA recovery. Since you re-installed FOTA recovery again, that may explain why it worked for you. I prefer a recovery compiled in a boot image...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] golagha11:
Beanstalk LP?

Hello. Any plan developing Beanstalk LP ROM? Thanks
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] optimumpro:
Well. It depends on beanstalk: they have to fix build scripts in lollipop for caf devices. Otherwise, it takes days to compile, cause the build stops for errors related to missing resources. Right now I am working on Omni 5.1 and it took me a week to build about 70% of the rom. But at least Omni is worth it. Again, I am not criticizing beanstalk, but I love Omni, it is the most secure custom rom and it is worth the pain to have it, which I can't say about beanstalk...
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] AnrgKrshn:
looking forward to omni. Thanks for your efforts :)
[Xperia Z1 Original Android Development] Selbyclebert:
How would you erase the FOTA recovery? I'm unable to install GAPPs because I've gone from Cyanogenmod 12.1 to this ROM and when I try to boot into recovery I just get a black blank screen.

Hi, I bought a Samsung Galaxy Core II through my carrier's shop a week ago. I already rooted the phone. I'm also using Nova launcher 3.3 (latest), and everything else is stock. Core II came with Android 4.4.2 installed, carrier's version, but as I am a superuser, I've deleted a lot of useless stuff.

The question:

¿Can I install Xposed framework and GravityBox [KK] in this device?

This is what I'd install if someone here confirms that I can:

Xposed Installer 2.7 experimental1: http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer

GravityBox [KK] 3.5.1: http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.ceco.kitkat.gravitybox

Is it OK?

I've noticed, reading GravityBox's thread, this:

Does that mean that if you have a Samsung, Xperia, HTC... mobile, GravityBox won't work due to compatibility issues?

My goal is to change the function of the volume buttons to only modify the volume of "Music, video, games and other media", in every situation, so it doesn't matter if I'm in the home screen, in YouTube App or using Chrome, always change the "Music, etc" volume, not Notification's one, or Ringtone's, or system's. So if I accidentally press volume up, the phone does not changes from Mute to Sound, or changes the volume of the ringtone, and all that stuff. They told me that I can accomplish that with GravityBox.

Thanks, hope someone here can help me out! :(
[Xposed General] younis12c:
Yes you can i have the same device and i installed xposed and gravity box and both worked well
[Xposed General] rambomhtri:
Wow, thank you. Installed and working nicely. How awesome is GravityBox! :D

Not compatible with core 2

I installedxxposed on core2 but it says not compatiblewith SDK 19. I installed a custom rom to make it run, but the rom was unstable so I had to go back to default Samsung core2 rom and now xposed is not working on the default Samsung rom. Amy way to make it run?
[Xposed General] Portgas D. Ace:
So you are running a KitKat ROM, right? You should use the Xposed v2.7 experimental1 from the Xposed repo.

Hi guys ! I'm new here and I hope to find what I need and help as much as possible :)

So, my problem is I bought a phone from a phone network shop named Orange [in Romania] The phone is locked in the mobile network so I can't insert any other network sim [I told you about this in case it affects the bootloader]

I wanted to install cybershot for my phone because the camera is not so good as I expected but I need CWM or TWRP as how I got informed.

I went on Sony's web site and found out how to unlock the bootloader, entered the code in the dial box ,that one wich looks like this : #*#*numbers*#*# and I found out that my bootloader can't be unlocked, is there any chance to unlock it ? I rooted my phone via towelroot then used busybox and then a program on my PC , connected the phone in fastboot.... did it, the phone has full root now!

Now the problem is that I don't know why but Sony didn't make support for the xperia M in their flash tool named Emma so the flash tool won't recognize my phone, I've installed the ADB driver succesfuly and I don't really know what I need for what I want to do

To do list:

1: unlock the bootloader

2: install CWM or TWRP

3: Install CyberShot or flash the cyanogenmod 11

I really don't know what programs I need , drivers and others, can anybody help me step by step ? By the way, my phone model is the C1905 !

Help please ! :D
