Something seems to be wrong with this build. I have no sound at all. Means no ringtones, no notifications, no music (using player pro, I get something like "audio format not supported by player pro").

OK so for now there's no sound due to some commits. @mikronac.ns is trying to get a new build working, meanwhile I've made a patch for this build to have sound working and enjoy LS. You just have to flash it in recovery after you've flashed the ROM. (let me know if it's not working, for me it worked)

Instructions:
1. Download V2 Patch HERE
2. flash in recovery AFTER you've flashed the ROM
3. flash additional files you want (GAPPS, custom kernels, ...)
4. reboot

Now that we have the ROM working there are a couple of things (I've also added some screenshots to the OP)

- [NEW]Expanded Volume Panel
- [NEW]main Settings layout changed to include On/Off switches for Wi-Fi, BT...
- the included Layers Manager app is still the old version (3.0). To install the latest version from Play Store (3.4) you must first delete (using a root file explorer) the Layers folder/app from /system/app and reboot. (screenshot in OP is for Layers Manager 3.4)
- the build has "enforcing" selinux permissions. It is recommended to use SElinux Mode Changer to set it to "permissive". This is required for example if you intend to use Viper4Android or other apps that have issues with enforcing
- even if not officially recommended, custom kernels works, I've tested latest IceCode and I had no issues (still this is subjective and it is very much depending on each user's phone usage)
- Xposed works as well, thanks to @Loreane Van Daal, I've found that Xposed module that solves one of the memory leaks in android 5.0.x and there is an improvement. Anyone can install Xposed from official thread HERE, then install the module from Xposed repository (just search for "lollipop memory leak")

NOTE: Theme used in screenshots is Gryffindor Layers theme

Happy flashing...

Still no sound but the patch worked so I'm using it. Hope the issue will be somehow solved by LS cause Sean Hoyt replied to me on G+ page and he said he has no clue what happened. Maybe at next build, if it's still without sound I'll pull a logcat and we could find something there

So you use the Patch from first site ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548040 ) of this thread with the current rom ( https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934548412 )???

And it worked. Because he (the patch guy, sorry I am on mobile actually) says that we should use this patch with the rom Version from 29.03.2015.

I am the "patch guy" and the patch is working for this last version too. In fact it'll work on all builds untill there will be a major change in the libs.
Anyway, I'll test each build and I'll specify if the patch works or not after each one.

Hm, download statistic for LS builds is pain for my eyes. :rolleyes:

You mean there are too few downloads? Well this could be due to the "no sound" issue or because many users are still more comfortable with CM based ROMs...RRO/Layers might have scared some people also. Still LS is one of the best LP ROMs and has options that work without adding Xposed (like Ambient Display for ex). I'm downloading now today's build. Have you tried the 5.1 branch of LS? Is it buildable?

EDIT: Last build as of 02.03.2015 still has no sound. The good news is that I've looked more inside the patch I've made and managed to cut it's size from 85 MB to only 10 MB. So for now you can use the new LiquidSoundPatcher_V2 for getting sound on LS. I'll delete the previous patch and put a link to this post instead

Yes, every build has <10 downloads. I will configure jenkins to count commits or something like that. Maybe I should build it every 2 or 3 days.
