SPECIAL THANKS

Special thanks to the entire LiquidSmooth team for building this awesome ROM. I just compile it from source for this device and the ROM would not be here without their dedication and hard work to provide it.

Special thanks also once again to @rogersb11 and @cyril279 for their guidance and pushing me to learn more about how all of this works. They are amazing guys and have been very helpful along my journey to doing this kind of thing.

Has all the features yet doesn't seems to slow down. If there is one thing that i miss from the other rom, it is the ability to have full screen contact when a call comes through. For now am sticking to this rom..... Hope I do.

Keep in mind that version 3.2 is considered still in beta. Though I have to say I've been decently impressed with it on my S3. It's my current daily on that device.

I'll be updating it weekly, or maybe earlier if there are major changes. So I would suspect that features and overall smoothness and performance will improve as it goes on.

Ummm...don't try to install the Viper driver in the Equalizer settings. Put me in a headlock from whence I had to clean install again.

I'll have to play with that today. It may be selecting the wrong driver, or may not be supported by this device. I'll admit I didn't even touch it when I flashed this build. I can't remember if I installed drivers with it on my S3 or not.

I'll do a factory reset and look into it today and see if it can be usable. If not, then I'll get rid of it in the next update.

Thanks for the tip!

Okay, I just tested it myself and it installed the driver and rebooted with no problem (see attached screenshot).

Instead of choosing to install the driver when the box first pops up (after going to Settings>Equalizer) I chose the dropdown menu and install driver from there. I also selected battery saving. It installed and rebooted without any issue.

Perhaps try installing the driver that way instead of the initial popup that first appears.

Must say when I first flashed the rom, i did install the sound drivers from the equalizer without any issues. It worked fine for me. Even after a second flash.

Both of you just flash my damn kernel for some real sound enhancement support lol. Voodoo i believe, configured in stweaks. MASSIVE difference. Nice job by the way @TheGeekyNimrod. Bout time cyril and i got some help hahaha. Oh and of course mr cook as well
Speaking of @mr-cook, what do you know about the legality of gapps as I want to add minimal to my rom. I already know how just didn't know if I technically could

I'm still on your 4.6... I'll jump to 4.8 and see what's what... that's your latest, right?

The ViPER is just an awesome equalizer built off DSP manager. Works great for the S3 I know. Didn't test it on the S2. It's running a different ROM built by some Rogers guy :cool:

I've seen so many conflicting things about including Gapps with a ROM. I've seen it's okay for stock based but not AOSP, not okay for either, and okay for both.

I honestly think that minimal should be included with a ROM. At the very least Play and Gmail.

Right, my same issue actually. I can include it easily just don't want to do anything illegal lol. Working on my ROM and N2 kernel this evening. Might mess with dual boot support support again for the S2 at some point this week. Learned many new things in last couple of weeks

Still not seeing anything about EQ, just gain/amplification for buds/speakers/mic

That's what I'm talking about. Basically doubles the output sound volume. I don't use EQ as one wrong tweak and the sound goes to crap lol

    Just thought I would update on the progress of LiquidSmooth. The last build I put out, the LS v3.2 Milestone will be the last KitKat based LS build. Development on KitKat has pretty much ceased for the time being it seems, and there's nothing new in the code that really has to be there, or is a required update.

    I am currently working on getting LiquidSmooth v4.0 (Android Lollipop) built and running. Many thanks to @rogersb11 for his help with getting our device tree updated and things in place so that this can become a reality. I hope to have an early alpha build out by the weekend or during the weekend. That being said though, don't get TOO excited yet. Even if it's out as an alpha, I don't want to release it until I've played with it extensively myself and made sure that basic things are running and I'm not going to risk anyone bricking because my build is that incomplete.

    So that's where LiquidSmooth for the i777/959g stands right now.

    ***NEW BUILD POSTED***

    ALRIGHTY!!! A new build has FINALLY been posted. Had a few setbacks getting it to build, but it finally succeeded. I tested it out very briefly and all seems to be working okay. Let me know if you encounter any issues.

    Dirty flash for upgrading should be okay. ALWAYS clean flash if coming from anything else.

    As always, happy flashing!

    Working on cm12. No recovery support currently for this device so you'll have to know what you're doing if all goes well. Will be PURE ALPHA. In no way will it be a DD. But alas it will of course be coming with shift kernel. I feel good the necessary changes have been made to complete build. We shall see. Sorry I've been nonexistent but I've been busy in n2 kernel, n2 cm12, 2 n2 cm12 kernels with different mali etc. Hopefully I'll have something new to play with. I was running it earlier on n2
