Additional Q&A/T Information

Liquid's development threads are intended for developmental purposes only, which means that posts should be focused solely on bug reports (with logcats) and assistance to further improving the ROM. Development threads in general are by no means a 24/7 tech support service but everyone needs some help every now and then and that is the purpose of this thread.

Most of you should already be aware that Q&A threads such as this are intended to clear any off topic posts and questions from the development threads to the Q&A/T thread, thus keeping the development threads clutter-free and ON-topic.

Any discussions concerning battery life, custom kernels, 3rd party apps, mods, etc.. will be posted in this thread along with any other general questions or topics NOT pertaining to the development of the project itself.

Any and all questions are welcome here but you must ALWAYS remember to search as well as read the FAQ and the OP of the original thread prior to posting questions. You stand a better chance of finding the answer to your question yourself by performing these tasks and it's a great feeling.

Additionally, no one should answer to OT questions asked on the development threads but instead, when convenient, respond with something like "Please use the Q&A/T thread for this kind of question". Consecutive OT posts will be moved here to Q&A/T as required.

And finally, if someone in this thread helps you, please take a second to click their 'thanks' button! Someone has taken the time to assist you, and clicking thanks will make them feel appreciated so they come back the next day and help someone else! You get 8 thanks a day, don't be stingy with them! (I'm not even talking about me. I'm not looking for 'thanks'. Save them for others who directly answer your questions. They will deserve it.

How to best ask for help in this thread!

Please try to provide as much of the following information as possible when posting your issues for the best possible support from myself or the community.

1. ROM version
2. Recovery + version
3. Kernel + version
3. Gapps package + version
4. Mods
5. Troubleshooting steps
6. BE AS SPECIFIC AS POSSIBLE

The FAQ can be found in 3rd post. I will add to it as the thread progresses.

If you discover a bug not listed in question #6 of the FAQ, please report it on the main Liquidsmooth thread (with logcats if possible) or submit the bug on their Official Google+ Bug section and it will be added here accordingly.

Thank you for your cooperation and enjoy the AWESOMENESS that is Liquidsmooth!

A - Yep. See post #2 of the original thread

Q3 - Can i flash this on my i9500?
A - No, sorry.

Q4 - I'm having crazy issues with _____ after flashing the latest nightly. PS: I dirty-flashed.
A - See the wise words in @CPA Poke's signature.

Q6 - What are the known bugs on this ROM?
A - Currently, they include the following:

- Font Size picker does not work.

What launcher are you using? Sometimes that has a tendency to mess with the stock wallpaper. I can't go searching for it at the moment because I use my own wallpaper and delete the liquidpaper folder.

I use nova launcher but i think it was changed before installing nova.

It was replaced because your old wallpaper was restored by Google. Idk where to find the ls wallpaper on your current rom

Exactly what issues WERE you having?

I'll give it a shot right now. Running smooth with cpapokes kernel, but I'll take one for the team.

No WiFi, fc play services, fc framework. Restoring my nandroid.

Sorry guess it would be helpful if I made myself clear. I flashed the new build but I'm a KT fan and flashed the latest kernal. After doing so my wifi would not work, gapps kept force closing as well, there was one other but can't remember what it was.

Tried a clean flash at first, then tried a dirty flash over 03-13 both with the same result.

What recovery?
Nevermind read the comment above sounds like something is up, I'll try in a few, haven't had that happen (loose wifi) since I was messing around with radios... Did you try another build on the kernel or only the latest?

TWRP 2.7.0.1 and since they did a built in loki it's smooth as glass no issues at all. I can flash any other build and all works just fine. Running 03-13 and cruisin

Seems to be an issue with loading frandom on boot up after flashing the latest 3/12 kT build..

No issues on stock kernel though.

DJMaj07 · Mar 15, 2014

The camera doesn't seem nearly as good as TW camera. I tried changing the focus mode to infinity but it refuses to change from continuous. And pictures I take don't look as good as I'd expect. Any fix for this or another camera app that will take better pics?

FYI, running Philz recovery and the 3/13 version.

No issues I figured they aren't marrying up but had no clue what it was. Thanks for the information

Is anyone using the active display feature? The brightness adjustment doesn't seem to have an effect. 3.14 build.

Try this app. I find it to be a good replacement to the AOSP camera.

Thanks, seems like a good alternative. But I've got a bigger problem now. Phone died and is refusing to charge while off. All I see is the battery icon with a frozen pinwheel. What do I do?
