My 64gb external sd card is no longer detected both through the phone and computer. When I went to go mount sd card through phone I get an error message saying "sd card damaged. try reformatting it." My guess it does this rom only read a certain format for microsds?

Re: [Q&A] Liquid Illusion ROM

Two questions I'm hoping yall could help me with.

1. Is it possible to add and change ringtones and notification sounds? For example, I really want to use the notification sound "Spirit" as my ringtone that comes with this rom (same one that Frank Underwood in House of Card uses :D). I also just have a bunch of .ogg notification sounds I want to add as well on my computer.

2. My 64gb external sd card is no longer detected both through the phone and computer. When I went to go mount sd card through phone I get an error message saying "sd card damaged. try reformatting it." My guess it does this rom only read a certain format for microsds?

Needs to be formatted in fat32 for 64gb card... Its in exfat

It doesn't look like this has been requested before, but is it possible to completely remove the clock from the lockscreen? I would prefer to have a transparent pattern/pin unlock that shows my homescreen widget underneath it.

not that I've seen and I've played through the rom like crazy, but I don't go all crazy with the settings especially passwords and such, I don't spend much time on the lockscreen though.

Re: [Q&A] Liquid Illusion ROM

Not sure if this has been reported. I get SystemUI FC when plugged-in charging and tried to pull down status bar. OK when I'm not plugged in.

Did Full Wiped System/ data/ cache coming from Illusion 1.2.1.

Working great here without any FC, I'll suggest to erase internal SD & system plus apply all wipes then flash

Re: [Q&A] Liquid Illusion ROM

I already wiped many times. Even did SuperWipe to completely format internal SD card.

Strange I'm plugged in right now but no System ui fc yet.

It was fc like crazy few hours ago. Hmm maybe heat related since I couldn't leave it alone after flashing Liquid Smooth.

Re: [Q&A] Liquid Illusion ROM

Anyone have any ideas as to why when I was using illusion and then on this new liquid why I was having issues with my data? It would sometimes either:
A. The data icon would not switch from 3G and stay idle
B. Icon stays on 3G and transfers data, but doesn't move up to H+
C. Icon goes to H+ but sits idle
D. Icon goes to H+ looks active, but nothing loads

I've had issues before with data on TW. For some reason swift key was killing my connectivity. Wasn't the only one either, found a few threads in it. After I completely wiped my internal SD, external SD, wiped internal data, and used Xquisit's super wipe I was able to use swift key without issue though. Not on illusion the same problem came back. No, swift key was not installed. After flashing to the 2/14 liquid the issued seemed much worse. I installed Task's Underwear Kernel and it seems better, but I haven't been able to test it much as I'm at work and can't be on my phone too, too much. Plus, I either gotta go by the fire exit or outside in order to get any kind of usable signal. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Just FYI, yes I full wiped before flashing, and yes, I followed proper procedure, and no, I didn't mod anything

Re: [Q&A] Liquid Illusion ROM

^^^^^^
Which modem are you on?

Have you tried flashing another?

PS why are you using a super wipe? Are you on CWM? I'd switch to TWRP. No need for super wipe zips. Also you are wiping /data as well correct?

PPS I use SwiftKey as well with no adverse effects to the OS. I also clear cache and dalvik after flashing rom and gapps as a precaution.

Re: [Q&A] Liquid Illusion ROM

^^^^ just used super wipe before when I was having issues when I was still using a TW ROM. Using UVDLJA. When I was having issues before I switched to all kinds of modems and UVDLJA was the best. And I know swift key works great for darn near everyone but I had those issues. No idea what caused them for me and the others. It ranged from everyone though. People who were rooted, weren't rooted, people on at&t, people on T-Mobile, HTC phones, Samsung, etc, etc. Like I said though, didn't bother with it this time though, even though its quite possibly my most favoritist app. So yeah, I'll try flashing some modems again if I start running into more trouble. Also, anyone else have an issue with voice search and voice type. FCs for me whenever I click it. Had the same issue on illusion once. Reflashed and it went away. Rebooted, it came back, rebooted, and it never messed up again. Thanks for the reply!

You know what, nvm. I'm gonna redownload and reflash. I'm having an issue when I'm on a call and I exit to go to another app the status bar won't drop down sometimes. Also I just made a speaker phone call and the screen didn't wanna come back on.

Re: [Q&A] Liquid Illusion ROM

I'm using this with task650's underwear kernel. I've had one phone call that I couldn't hang up because the phone stayed on black screen and wouldn't wake up unless I held the power button. Then I locked, unlocked, locked and tried unlocking again and had a hard time waking it up as well. Doesn't happen often... But does happen. Idk if is a kernel issue or not

On a side note... Can I request a "copy to clipboard" feature? I went to hit share on this link and I had to put it in a SMS and copy then paste it. :D

And can Mike add a link to his stock kernel to the ROM thread OP?

Thanks guys

Has there been any issues of any echos while making calls? I'm going to flash this today and give this a try. Also should I flash another radio for this or use the one in the rom? If not where do I find one? Thanks.

    I will be updating this as often as possible.

    This thread is designed ONLY for the support of the T-999(V) Liquid Smooth rom.

    For latest AOSP builds to flash you need to be on latest bootloader of d2tmo: T999UVDLJA, T999UVDLJC, T999UVDMD5 & T999VVLDLL1 for it to boot. In order to have the latest boot loader you need to update via ODIN or Over The Air. Here is CyanogenMOD stating so. YOU CAN CHECK WHICH BOOTLOADER YOURE ON BY DOWNLOADING TERMINAL EMULATOR FROM THE PLAY STORE AND ENTERING THESE THINGS:
    su(ENTER)
    getprop ro.bootloader(enter)
    edited from phone so excuse the errors and code usage

    THIS THREAD IS NOT CREATED by The Liquid Team.

    This thread is designed to help keep the dev thread clean and clear for the dev's to do their magic. So please, feel free to ask any questions about the ROM, but trolling and flaming will not give great results and will be reported. If you ignore to read this OP & 2nd post and ask questions that have been answered I most likely will ignore you, or be rude haha. Keep up to date with the ROM/recovery, meaning install the latest version of the ROM/and your recovery before reporting anything.

    -The main Dev thread is located here

    -GAPPS can be found here

    -THE ROM downloads can be found here
    - Here are Screenshots

    Here is for T999 LTE provided by Luigi

    -
    Changelog can be found
    There was no .6 for what ever reason.
    -here for 2.9
    -here for 2.8
    -here for 2.7
    -here for 2.5
    -here for 2.4
    -Here for 2.3
    -Here for 2.2​

    Post your findings/fixes with your install procedure (what did you wipe, or no wipe at all), along with your Recovery version, your kernel and any mods you may have installed (most likely will be the issue at hand).



    I'm not responsible nor are the Devs, for what to you do to your phones... go cry somewhere else.
    If you want sympathy go look it up in the dictionary, it's between s**t and syphillis.

    ACTUAL Q&A

    Remember these guys take a lot of time out of their lives to do all this for free. They build the rom the way they want it, and they use it too. Be respectful, if you don't like the way it is or what they chose, then move on and use what you prefer.

    Here is the Q&A part.

    I am having troubles installing the Liquid Illusion rom: INSTALL PROCESS
    Boot into recovery: From Power off
    -Volume UP & Home button & Power Button at the same time! Hold until little vibrate and Blue text in top left corner, now you can release.
    -wipe data\factory reset, cache, system.
    -Install ROM
    -Install GAPPS (Google APPS) Latest 13, Mar 01
    -Boot & let sit for 5 minutes (lets cache and scripts run)
    -Sign in to Google and if Restoring I feel it's best to let it sit and install all those apps before messing with the phone.
    -Enjoy, or how some say it "PROFIT" ;)


    If dirty flashing from this rom and OP does not require a Dirty Flash
    The recommended upgrade procedure should be:
    -Backup/Nandroid - Optional
    -Format /System - Should be automatically done
    -Wipe cache
    -Wipe Dalvik cache
    -Install ROM
    -Install GAPPS
    -Reboot System

    List of features

    If they aren't new then... cool story lol. I'm gonna be so mad if the base changes again MIKE!!!!!!

    Here is stuff for xposed settings and dpi and what not. I dont use any of this at all, but most like and love to tinker so I will leave it here for you guys.
    http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

    Nightlys will have their own issues probably, and always. Now most common one is flickering, try a custom kernel that is built after 4-19.

    In interface.
    1. Notification img in landscape can be changed
    2. Transparency can be adjusted to your liking
    3. Notification shortcuts can be added from 4-16 of them
    4. Recent Rambar is customizable
    5. Vibration Multiplier is now here, able to lower/raise haptic feedback of capacitive buttons natively.

    Lockscreen
    1. Buttons this will allow while on the lock screen to hold one of the capacitive/physical buttons to complete an action ie: torch, or skip track.
    2. a bunch of widget options for the lockscreen
    3. change the transperency of the lock screen
    4. Lock screen shortcuts
    5. Have the option to have up to 8 targets in lockscreen slider
    6. instead of just tapping on the lockscreen shorcuts you can set it to long press to open those.

    PowerWidget is like the toggle mod in TouchWiz or older builds of AOSP

    Quicksettings/4.2 Tiles
    1. You can disable it altogether
    2. Quick pulldown is the option to pull from left or right corners to immediately jump into quicksettngs
    3. Tiles and Layout hold all the options availale

    SatusBar
    1. Brightness control (must have auto brightness unchecked) allows you to slide your finger left to right accross the status bar to adjust brightness extremely handy with this display vs sun light lol
    2. Notification count, it shows a little blue number next to a notification if you have multiple ones.
    3. Then you have your clock options (right and center) Battery icons, clock and date looks and such.
    4. then color of the satus bar is changeable as well, all colors available (pretty much). You can change the transparency for launcher, launcher & Lockscreen, or all in all everywhere.

    Display
    1. CRT Screen options for on and off, off looks realy nice like a slight subtle dim.
    2. Notification Light options are in here if you are new to CM LED.

    Accessibility
    1. I add this cause it is overlooked a lot.
    2. magnification gestures (Takes three taps).
    3. Large text optoin for those Gramps & Grams.
    4. Power Button to end a call.
    5. Home button answers a call.

    Developer Options
    1. Change transmissions/animations to .5 for warp speed.
    2. kill app via back button.

    NOW FOR SYSTEM APPS ;)

    Messaging
    1. Group messaging is available (yes like the iPhone).
    2. Privacy mode (obvious what that does).
    3. Shop popup for incoming texts and quick reply is available.
    4. One of those sought out features of making a call by putting phone to face while in the text thread of the party you wish to call, is available via Direct Call.
    5. Messaging font size.

    Currently Known bugs, work arounds, and suggestions/tips.
    -A2DP (streaming music and phone calls) its fixed with 4.2.2 except for a couple of unhappy users.


    -Video calls (Skype, Google Hangouts, Tango) Mixed reviews, sorry. I had low audio, some report that all is great though.


    -Camera works all in all but NO PHOTOSPHERE. While taking an image with flash the image will show without flash, but it saves normally.


    -Picasa sync does not work
    Install this to have it work https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=larry.zou.colorfullife&hl=en


    -Getting an error reading "cannot read /data/xposed/modules.whitelist", you need to go to System settings>Interface>DPI Installer>Install. It will stop the popup.


    -CMFileExplorer http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1451113&d=1351866036
    (with this app, go to settings>general settings>access mode>select root access mode> go back to main page get root by pressing "parent folder" over and over til you can't no more.)


    -Battery!!!!!!
    It will improve as the days go by, or get worse depending on what you do, NO one can tell how good battery is until at least 2 charges, so don't ask "how is battery" 6 hours after it is uploaded. Battery varies for every person, I don't play many games on my phone, Bike Race is the only one. I get 4 hours on screen time, and 12 hours of use. With MY light usage I get 1 day 16 hours with 2.5-3 hours screen on time. Everyone will have different results with their phones setup differently.


    -Screen shot is done by Volume down and Power! Or by "power menu" settings>rom control>power menu>Select "Show ScreenShot" hold power button to view.


    -"I don't see a 4g/H symbol" You may need to flash the latest radio from here to see it, you are getting your normal speeds regardless though. Here is the link to flashable modem List - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1860592

    -THIS IS a Liquid rom with mods and CherryPicks from CM/AOKP and such!! SOME CM THINGS WILL NOT BE IN HERE, OTHERS WILL, it is the Devs' rom they will do to it as they please, but they do take requests just make sure it hasn't been asked for already, respect.
