Well, I flashed the furnace and kept getting android.process popups, I then flashed the dr87.
It worked great, insane speed and almost everything worked as it should, but once again another kitkat ROM falls short, where you ask, take a guess, f'n Bluetooth, just turning it on was buggy, but once in car trying to connect, full bt fail, smh, back to perfection with flex. Does anyone have an explanation why bt is do difficult to make work.
I will add that if I had no need for BT I would definitely rock this for daily driver, it was just fast.

unfortunately i'm having very low , i mean realy low in call volume . everything else seems to be working, didnt get to test bluetooth out yet. Im still running it and will give it 24 - 48 hours to make any solid statements
For an immediate fix you can use a file browser and go to /system/etc and edit mixer_paths.xml search for <ctl name="RX1 Digital Volume" value="60" /> change 60 to 70 and that was what the value was set to. Otherwise it will fixed in the next build.
I'm using the Furnace version and I only got the android.process popup once at setup. Nothing else after several hours of use and reboots.
The Bluetooth is working for me, too.
To be honest, the firmware is amazing. All the features I wanted, even if it is only 99% stable. But what's with this goofy-looking white Recents tool? Where's the Kill All button? Where's the option to use the default AOSP Recents?
There are some other things I'd like, but the Recents thing is the one that stands out by far.
That is Slim's new Recents, there is no way to switch to AOSP at this time. To kill all you simply have to pinch in the Recents menu, personally I think this looks light years better than AOSP as it uses the card design and you can show or hide the previous apps.
Its heart seems to be in the right place, but it causes more problems than it solves.
- Changing Kill All from a button to a multi-finger gesture changes it from a one-handed operation to a two-handed operation. And for no reason.
- The 'card design' would work if it was a full-screen app like Google Now (or Google's Recent Apps). As it is, it comes off an an ugly mashup of the launcher's design, the Slim's Recents design, and those little circular collapse buttons on each task which really don't match the 'card' theme at all (or work well lol, being such tiny targets).
- Unless I'm remembering incorrectly, Google's Recent Apps closes the app you're in if you "kill" it from Recent Apps. Slim's doesn't do that. It hides the app from Recents if you're in the app. It doesn't even close the app you're in if you do the "kill all" pinch. This doesn't seem like a good idea.
Don't get me wrong: I love this firmware. I don't imagine that I'll be switching from it, either. Just stating my opinion. =p
No worries, I took it as that and nothing else. I mis-spoke when I said kill, I should have said clear recently used apps from the list. Slim's thought is that kill all is a placebo effect so they removed that.
From what I understand the Recents a lot of people hated from AOSB will be the other choice so you can also use Multi-window.
oh snap, i went back and flashed the rom with furnace and we might have a winner here in the CM/AOSP kitkat wars, everything running nice right now, bt connected in car, phone call too, will report back if any problems, but so far so liquid, good work
Edit: oh well it was a good run while it lasted, Bluetooth went south on me again, if I didn't have new car with all kinds of Bluetooth enabled toys I would not even care. All good though I got nothing but time. ?

Ok, I could not give up on this ROM, even though BT is acting up hella bad, I changed some settings in my car and the BT worked. I am running the furnace version as BT would lock up the DR87 version. On the furnace version I just did a reboot and all was good. In my car I have settings to import contacts, calls, and messages. This is where the BT would fail in the past, so I disabled that, I can still play audio and make phone calls with BT. I wonder if the issue with the BT is throughput problem or is it timing out to early, idk, just throwing stuff at the wall. I will stick with as my dd and see how it goes.
I ended up having to go back to 4.2.2, it ran smooth most of day but there were occasional lockups or severe lagging. Maybe we'll get something soon from the lg g2 4.4.2 or maybe some g2 pro stuff.

I have read that dr87 is doing a lot of work bringing up his 4.4.2 sourced kernel. So I am very hopeful we will have a much more stable experience.
A)
B) It keeps asking me what app to use to play .MP4s even if I use the "Always" button. Found this out while making the above recording haha.
C) Landscape home screen plz?
D) Google Recents option plz?
E) But for real though, the collapse buttons on Slim's Recents do not look good with the 'card theme' at all.
I love everything about this Rom but didn't see anyone mention that the screen rotation is not working?
I have tried a few simple apps to make sure it's not just me but I am not getting any reading when it is rotating.
Thanks

If you're on the kit kat baseband, that's the reason. Flash a jb radio and you should be good. Of you're already on the jb radio, then I can't help you.
All radio's can be found in this thread. Just make sure you use an at&t one

OP and dr87 version updated, it is still v5. I am not sure sure if I will keep up Furnace builds, you can flash it after you flash the ROM.
If you want to try OTA, you can. Just make sure you are OK with a few rules:
If you have or can do the above, feel free to go ahead.
Make sure to give me feedback about the OTA.
If you want to try OTA, you can. Just make sure you are OK with a few rules:
- You are using TWRP
- You are using dr87's Kernel or want to
- You have a known good backup
- You don't get upset if something goes wrong and you have to start over fresh

Please Support Liquid by Donating HERE6OK, so here is the story of what is going on, I will break it up into two sections.
1 - ROM Related:
Liquid is looking to finish up and move to the next stage of releasing the ROM, so there is a lot of bug squashing and not a lot of time for me to bring up new sources.
The new sources only seem to work on the vs980, on anything else you will not get an APN set up, nor will it let you pick/configure one
There are other issue that have come up as I am trying to use the awesome work @dr87 has done
The kernel is JackpotCalvin's kernel, although it works, I would prefer to use IllusionROM's Omni based kernel.
2 - Personal:
I have been interviewing for a new job, it took me about 2.5 months and I finally got an offer so, that means I will be pretty busy learning how all of that will work for me.
It is starting to get nice in Michigan so that means I will be spending more time outside, brewing beer, playing disc golf, grilling and such. Updates may be a little slow but I hope they won't be as slow as they have been the past few weeks/month(s).
I hope that makes it clear why things may seem slow, out of date or whatever. all of that said, no this is not dead, yes there will be an official release of 3.0, yes there will be a release with the new 4.4 sources.
-Reginald4763
Thanks for doing the review and the kind words. Just so you know, I maintain a thread for each variant. So total I save a few more than 5 pages. So far the D800 is the most quiet thread, the vs980 is probably the longest.
The mods that you mentioned you had issues with have since been removed (App Bar and custom color status bar), OmniSwitch is in the ROM as a separate app, in the next version it will be in the settings and AOSB recents have been removed, so you can choose Stock (default), Slim's and OmniSwitch.
I hope you either stick with LS or switch back after the update to see what's changed! Getting a kernel based on KitKat source and updated device configs will hopefully give us a much more stable environment.
Also, I need to talk to one of the main Devs about the OTA notification.
