[Q] Keeping some info after flashing

Hey, I just got into flashing roms and such... just moved from CM 10 stable to beast 4.2.1 and everything went great except from settings that got missing which are mainly 3:
1. I joined contacts together with their facebook profile in order to get their picture when calling them but when i flashed the new rom that was gone... any way of keeping it?
2. all my ringtones aren't synced anymore... now when i have someone who used to own a ringtone of his own i got no ringtone at all... same question
3. my entire launcher stayed the same but the widgets aren't working... any way of fixing that?
4. (different question) in the power widget in the notification drawer there was an option to change the time the screen takes to turn off, that option isn't available in the quick settings panel... is there other way to enable it? (besides getting the power widget again)
thanks!

1. You have to use HaxSync with the Jellybean work-around to sync Facebook contacts/pictures. There may be alternative apps available but this is just what I myself use.
2. Not sure what you are trying to ask. Just go into Sound settings or your music player and set a ring tone.
3. This is normal. I'm assuming they either look like white or black boxes? Just delete and reapply your widgets.
4. Not that I know of.

1. found a solution... restored my 4.1.2 contacts storage via titanium and it's working great.
2. What I mean is that when I set a custom ringtone and flash a new rom that ringtone isn't working anymore... (which makes me miss some calls...)
3. oh wellz
4. oh wellz using widgetsoid for that now...
New question (since i can't post in development)... In CM 10 I had Developer Settings in the settings menu... and on beast 4.2.1 i don't have them... is that normal? is there a fix for that?
thanks for you help

Lock Screen Notifications and bringing back the ticker.

I'm running Muniz Deodexed Lollipop with Xposed. I have a module installed that gets rid of all the HUD notifications (except the phone call one) when my phone is unlocked. It doesn't seem to work, however, for lock screen notifications. I'm trying to find a way to bring back just an icon in the status bar when my phone is locked instead of having the info show up on the main screen. I've also tried editing the settings.db in a SQL Editor, but that did not work either.
Has anyone had any luck figuring this out? At this point, it's pretty much the only thing I don't like about 5.0.
Thanks!

Lockscreen automatic update?

Hey all, my lockscreen automatically updated when I restarted my phone. It has the options of swiping different directions to unlock different apps. The background is of mountains at night. I just want my regular lockscreen back bUT I can't figure out where on my phone to get my regular one back. When I go to settings and select the swipe method, the new one is still there. I need help if anyone knows.

I figured it out. Mods please delete

Launcher changes to default after intalling Xposed

Ahoi!
Finaly I installed Xposed, but now I'm facing a problem:
When I set my preferred MicrosoftLauncher, it shows only until I press Home or Backbutton from other apps or reboot.
Then again the launcher/homescreen falls back to stock Launcher3.
The dialog, asking for default launcher does not show.
Same Problem, when choosing Launcher from settings, as when starting MicrosoftLauncher by app icon.
The dialog however shows, when I choose the "set-default" option in the MicrosoftLauncher settings – but the setting only persists until reboot.
Any suggestions how to set and keep my launcher settings?

Problem is still there – any solution or hint?
I'm almost about to write some kind of script, that manualy switches to MS-Launcher after boot – does any1 know, where default launcher is stored in config-files – maybe it'd be enough to just insert the right value while init at boot…

bump…

Stealth update changed a lot of settings. Hacked? please help!

Phone: ROG 2 tencent on 16.0632.1910.64-0 build (android 9), rooted
Sometime around 14/10/20 or a few days earlier there was a strange "mini update" pushed to my phone. I do not have system updates enabled. No reboot occured.
I cannot tell if it was a virus, a hack or some broken update.
Some of these settings were easy enough to change back to what I used, but I want to know why it happened in the first place.
I have google play updates hidden from notification bar so I definitely missed some things. The only app i saw update was gboard, but it's safe to assume others did stealthly.
I will list what I know:
gboard re-enabled itself and updated itself. It was never enabled or the default keyboard.
all systemUI tuner settings reset, all flat style bar indicator settings reset
the entire UI was changed, navigation bar virtual key r now more compact (closer to each other) (this does not appear to be a setting i can change with anything i have installed?)
about half the system settings are reset to default values, the status bar now displays download speed amongst other things
the navigation bar and status bar now both have fully transparent backgrounds in most programs, i can't recall the specifics but it never was that many previously.(cannot fix)
The status bar text no longer changes color and is permanently white, if I use a white background program like most google programs, the entire status bar is now invisible. (cannot fix)
default Messages app disabled itself and reinstalled itself, resetting all settings, meanwhile ASUS data transfer became the default SMS program. Messages app also got cloned to work profile (shelter app) without user input.
Any ideas please?
I'm thinking google IME or systemtunerUI updates broke something, or a remote hack, but I don't know. Just to be safe i disabled updates on those apps. But google play is known to sometimes not respect ur per app auto-update settings.
I don't want to have to fight my phone to get it to work.
Please, i am at a loss.
