LiquidSmooth is an aftermarket firmware based on the Android Open Source Project.

Dedicated to providing users with smooth, stable and ROMs. A Lightweight modified AOSP base, and then add the features you crave!

While we make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, we are not responsible for anything that may happen to your device.

We ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash!

Bugs (fixes in process)
Camera FC's
Symptom: Camera FC's when opened
Fix (Step 1): Make sure you are using the gapps linked in the OP. If you are, go to Step 2.
Fix (Step 2): Reboot to recovery, wipe caches, and reboot. If camera still isn't working, go to Step 3.
Fix (Step 3): Clear the Camera app data in LiquidSmooth Settings and reboot.[/fixed]

No data or constant data roaming (VZW users)
Symptom: Self-explanatory.
Fix: Search the thread - we are still trying to figure out what is causing this for some and not others, but until then just look through the thread - several users claim to have fixes for this.

You must have just recently deleted folder. I was able to download a 12/14 build but upon boot google play services kept crashing and couldnt get past setup screen to the rom. Hopefully new build doesnt have this issue

Is this build different than the 12/14 nightly I snagged from DrDevs before the RM? :)

Have you flashed it yet....see my above post

Yeah exactly...tried to remove that version (built with a borked pre-built chromium) in favor of the new one, and removed everything. However I found a local build that I'll upload now so you don't have to wait until the new build finishes.

    I can't remove icon and widget from homescreen.
    I can't access App info by hold icon from drawer.
    I can't disable Gallery.
    The Navigate bar's backgroud isn't translucent.

    I need
    - Nav color
    - Custom Quick Setting
    - Vibrate when answer call, end call
    - Screen video record
    - Battery color
    Just send me your purchase receipt for the ROM, and I'll get right on that.

    I just didn't understand why Theme Engine didn't work when I flashed Franco (after flashing ROM), but it works when I just flash the ROM itself, which also has Franco. That's all.

    Here's why:

    Background:
    Kernel boot.img's are compressed files (like zip files) that have two main components: the zImage and the ramdisk.

    The zImage is the "meat" of the kernel, which - in a nutshell - contains the code that tells the hardware on your device (the physical chips, wires, circuits, etc) how to work with the software (the Android OS) to make your phone what it is.

    The ramdisk is more of a shell that facilitates the kernel->OS interaction, with things like the fstab (which contains the device FS partition information), at-boot init scripts that set the correct permissions and designate what governor, frequency, etc that should be executed during boot, and - more recently - security-related binary files that incorporate Android's selinux policies. We'll come back to that.

    Building Kernels:
    Most kernel devs build their kernels using executable shell scripts, meaning they don't have to have the entire AOSP build environment (ie the hundreds of repos that you'd find in a rom's manifest) set up in order to build. They don't build the whole ROM, they just build the kernel source. However, the stock kernel source itself only builds the zImage component above - so kernel devs will take the full boot.img straight from a full-compiled ROM (typically straight AOSP to start with) and extract the ramdisk, and then append the ramdisk to the zImage after their compilation is finished.

    (Note: @Imoseyon and @RIPng, among others, keep their ramdisk updated in their public source on github. Other devs like Franco and faux usually don't.)

    When a kernel is built in-line (ie compiled at the same time as the full ROM), the ramdisk is compiled "fresh" - using code from the device tree and other components of the full ROM source.

    How it applies to this situation:
    So, when cm pushed their theme engine code, they also included specific permissions that allow the theme to access necessary components of the ROM in order to work. Those policy files end up in the ramdisk in the form of the "sepolicy" binary - which, again, was included in the boot.img baked into Liquid.

    But those kernel devs who didn't modify the sepolicy binary in their ramdisk won't have these policies included in their boot.img unless they pull one from a ROM that does and extract that file from the ramdisk and dropped it into theirs.

    So - the reason the "Franco" kernel included in my ROM works, and his doesn't, is because he hasn't yet updated his ramdisk with modified sepolicy file(s) necessary to grant the required permissions to the theme engine.

    Does that help?

    Big changes coming today. Stay tuned. :)
