[ROM][4.4.4][Jul-22] UNOFFICIAL LiquidSmooth v3.2 | Security Patch Level: 1st Jun 15
- Thread starter spezi77
- Start date
Hey there!
I have uploaded a new gapps package (in post #1) which will occupy ~1 MB less on the /system partition. This should be useful as I think that some devices already got bad blocks in ther internal memory (NAND) which will narrow the available space.
I did a test with my HTC Desire. Did a full wipe and installed the rom. Booted up to enable A2SD. Rebooted to recovery to install Gapps.
In the normal case the rom will just boot up and move the dalvik cache into the sd-ext. But then, to my surprise, my device went into a bootloop. In the logcat I have identified an issue at the compilation of the dalvik cache.
See here:
Code:
D/dalvikvm( 505): DexOpt: --- BEGIN 'webviewchromium.jar' (bootstrap=1) ---
W/dalvikvm( 505): Rejecting recursive optimization attempt on '/system/framework/webviewchromium.jar'

I/DEBUG ( 86): r8 402da8d0 r9 403c5bbc sl 403e0c6c fp 403c4624To solve this kind of error, you should reboot to recovery and chose "Clear cache & dalvik". Reboot the system, and voila it will work!
....P.S.: in case that someone still has any issue, please share your recovery.log -- here is mine: https://gist.github.com/spezi77/861023d58fdcda4a1c79
Best of luck!

Is the second partition is necessary?
***
Every day I make a backup.
I lost a couple of times the ability to recover the full backup 4ext.
In general loss of installed applications.
It is not possible to recover some of the backups.
However, some backups are properly recovered.
Before recovering I wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache + dalvik, format system.
I can deal recovering the last good backup, plus advanced restore from backup current.
Example error recovery.
I have found that works correctly recovery by Advanced Restore.
So I have to:
1. restore the current backup.
2. delete partitions data and sd-ext,
3. fixing permissions
4. restore data and sd-ext by Advanced Restore
Example of a good recovery.

No, the second sd-ext is absolutely nonsense. I just kept it for future development on Android 5.x or maybe even 6.x
Hey there!
I have just uploaded a new release with more security patches. This time, I am certain that the currently known vulnerabilities are covered, even though that VTS app shows me a false positive.
Have a nice day!

- CVE-2013-6282 is patched (kernel 2.6.38)
- CVE-2015-1528 is patched (see in system/core and in frameworks/native)
Have a nice day!
Heya, Id like to test this one as well.
Is there maybe another download option ? Devhost is usually working for me, but it says its taking 11 hours now. :S

I have added a mirror link on mediafire.
Hi Spezi77, I continued to investigate my problems to install.
Turned out that one of the issues was the sdcard used ( transcend 32GB class 10 ). When replacing by another card ( I tried a 'white' brand and a Samsung EVO ) the a2sd worked fine.
I am using a larger hboot system partition (270MB instead of 250MB) so no issues whatsoever to install the gapps.
But even then I could not connect to the google servers. So I still suspect something is wrong with these gapps, because I could login to my google account using the browser.
Anyway, I used a very old gapps from Nikez website, one which worked very well previously ( http://nikez.nu/Download.php?getFile=dlc/gapps-core-kk-2013-11-25.zip ). that one is only 20 MB big and can be installed directly on my system drive. And yes, this one allowed me to log in.
Running now for some days, and I'm impressed by the functionality offered, and a smooth operation.
Thanks for porting this ROM to the Desire.
Hi Spezi,
I am missing one element in the ROM, which is the support for reassigning the functionality to the buttons. In Settings - Liquidsmooth - Navigation you can define the actions assigned to the hardware buttons, but apparently not all buttons are recongize, not the functionality is working.
So I tried to download the source to check the code and add possibly the missing buttons. By doing so, I have a problem that the kitkat branch of LiquidSmooth is not available anymore. Can you please check whether this ls - kitkat is still available ?

Hi sverfaillie,
Liquid devs have probably deleted kk on their github. I still have the entire ls-kitkat on my Linux machine. You could send me the fixed code, then I will make a new build. That would be the fastest..
Cheers!
Hi Spezi,
That's of course annoying, as I need first the source code to locate & correct the issue .... So I cannot provide you a patch at this stage. Any possibility to push your changes back to github ?
Phew, that will take me some time. I will try my best on the weekend.
Guess what, I killed myself: https://github.com/spezi77/liquid/commit/22d43163748c05b1ad55951cdc0bc70629bd4d3f
@sverfaillie, wish you lots of fun with building LS! :good:
P.S.: In the meanwhile, I have stumbled across the root cause why "Trackball Wake" didn't work any longer. Now it's fixed in my github.. :laugh:
Edit: P.P.S.: Unfortunately, that didn't work out. I need to spend more time into fixing it..

Hey there!
Finally, here comes another great Android 4.4.4 UPDATE with security patch level of 1st November 2015.
Plus I have added the patches for signature spoofing support, which allows you to be independent from Google Play, if you wish.
@mirabilos, here you go!
While playing with this LS, I have observed that it feels as it is the most snappiest one of all HTC Desire ROMs I have built. I am convinced that it is now in a really good condition and can be used as daily driver. However, in order to achieve perfection Trackball Wake needs to be fixed and the Torch APP could be improved, so that it works as in KitKANG ROM (Brightest setting and stay on after screen shut down).
Cheers, and have a nice day!

Ah cool, thanks! Though, this means I have to switch ROMs? Do you have a comparison between your ROMs anywhere? (I don't use the trackball anyway.)
You have to compare them by yourself in order to see what is missing for you. LS is lighter and feels much faster. It has even more tweaks.
