Thanks for building Liquid! I'm glad to finally have my favorite ROM back on the LGOG, and with 4.3 to boot!

Just flashed it.

First attempt - factory reset in TWRP, flashed ROM, booted up, but no data, and got a demigod kernel crash the instant I pulled the notification shade down. Decided to wipe and reflash rather than troubleshoot.

Second attempt - advanced wipe in TWRP (all but the sd), factory reset in TWRP, flashed ROM, booted up and got data right away (including 4G LTE), minor poking around seems to indicate no problems.

Looks good so far! I'll flash gapps and restore my other apps and use it as my daily driver today. If you want me to check on anything specific, let me know.

Looks like I spoke too soon.

Data is not working correctly. 3G/4G works, but once you connect to wifi and then leave the wireless network (or even toggle wifi off), the data dies. The airplane mode toggle trick doesn't work reliably either.

I toggled airplane mode, rebooted, restored an old, working EFS from both stock ZVC and the previous ROM I was using that had no data issues (Beanstalk)... but no luck. Any time you connect to a wireless network and then leave it (toggling off), the cellular data connection dies.

I've had similar problems on other ROMs, but never as bad as it is here on Liquid. On other ROMs, the issue was sporadic and random and the airplane mode toggle usually worked. Here, the data dies every time I turn wireless off and sometimes won't come back up at all (I've had to dirty flash the rom a few times now to get data back in those cases).

Also interesting - when I dirty flashed the rom, my gapps disappeared. I don't think that normally happens.

Anyway, I know I had planned to bang on the ROM all day during work and such, but I can't do that if the data is borked. :crying: So I'm going to have to go back to Beanstalk for now (which is a 4.3 ROM that doesn't give me any data issues at all. Slimbean also hasn't given me any issues on 4.3).

The issue is upstream and actually I think it was just fixed give 10/31 a go. I am not flashing this seeing as I am maintaining to many to flash

Repeating phone process force closes on 10-31 after a clean install.
Same deal on Carbon.

Just flashed 10/31. Factory reset, clean install. Same problem with the data. Connect to wifi, then disconnect from wifi and the data dies and doesn't come back up.

Runs pretty smooth so far. The only hiccup I came across was the com.android always fc'in. The xml file fixes that. Another is that their is no Voice Dialer in the setup. So I don't know how to access the APN to select the correct one.

you might be able to get into it with the app offline sim database. Should let youopen the shortcut directly.

Don't know if it was because I flashed the new f93 kernel, but twice in a row the screen wouldn't come back on after sleeping. The LED would come on but the screen would be black. Forced to reset the device.

Which f93 kernel version did you flash? I'm on the AOSP kernel and it seems to be working fine for me so far. *knocks on wood*

Same, the one that fixes camera focus. Did you enable ART?

Not yet, kinda afraid to because the ROM is running so good, and I know ART can muck some certain ROMs up. Did you enable ART?

To all of you on 4.4 beta 3, DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT, turn on charging animation's, when its on, and you plug the phone in, the phone phone spazzs out and every 3 seconds puts a lockscreen.

I did, so that could also have something to do with it. I'll try again later with vanilla kernel and dalvik.
-------------------
EDIT: I did another clean flash then enabled ART then flashed f93 kernel. Then I was installing apps from Google play and I let the display go to sleep. Upon trying to wake the device it just froze with a black screen. So it happened again. But it seems to only happen when Google play is installing apps. Since it finished I haven't had that problem.

Right now this is absolutely my favorite 4.4 ROM. So many features, and it's so bloody fast and responsive. Not to mention DarkLiquid is beautiful AF.
