[ROM][5.1.1][UNOFFICIAL] Liquidsmooth v4.1 SMT900 Tab Pro 12.2 [THEMES]

[wargear]

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

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

***disclaimer***
While I make every effort to test these builds as much as possible, I am not responsible for anything that may happen to your device.
I ask that you do your part to know your device and know how to recover from problems before you flash!
If you are smart enough to download and flash software then you should be smart enough to assume all responsibility for modifying your device and take steps to ensure you have backups and a recovery plan in place.
I am not responsible for thermonuclear war or you bricking your device and smashing it against a wall after you made a hockey puck out of it.​

ROM is built from current LS source and uses the CM Themes engine. I have another build using RRO Layers but frankly speaking RRO layers is sketchy at best IMHO and not yet ready for prime time without serious refinement. I built this as a hobby project because the SMT-900 has been sadly neglected by devs and because I'm a diehard LiquidSmooth fan. I hope you like it as much as I do. None of this would be possible without the time spent, hard work and dedication of the following devs:​

chhaggerty for his device and vendor repos

crpalmer for the initial bring up work on all the tab family

The LiquidSmooth team

Cyanogenmod

SlimRoms

THANKS!​

KNOWN ISSUES/BUGS​

Let me know nothings perfect!​

LiquidSmooth v4.1 Tab Pro 12.2
​

INSTALLATION:

I recommend a full wipe AFTER YOU MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT SETUP!! This ensures no leftovers get in the way and we all know where you started from! Updates can be done via standard reset wipe.

RECOVERY AND GAPPS:

I use and recommend TWRP RECOVERY and FLASHIFY [ROOT] from play store to update TWRP via .img files.
I like SLIMS GAPPS myself PA work well too..​

I tried an alpha build of this about 6 months ago and I found it very impressive, notably with the built in Adiutor, with a 10% less footprint than CM. However, at the time I couldn't get my SD card to work, why I had to abandon. But, I will definitely try it now when it's up as a beta. I have really high hopes for the potential of this ROM./arc

It booted up smoothly, supersu and adiutor are pre-installed as system apps, proceeding installing Xposed and all my software (+4GB)...
Everything seems to run very smooth and the unit is very responsive. I will play around with adiutor a little, trying to find some optimal settings.
Thank you very much for bringing this up.

So good to hear from you! I'll look forward to your comments and hope your installs proceed smoothly! Thanks! Hmm.. never occured to me about kernel auditor but it is there under settings/performance and seems ok... check and advise plz!

My fault,I had forgotten it was a system app.

Rom is working great & it's flying! So far, everything I've tried works well.

Is there a way to fix the 3 second delay when waking the device?

I was just wondering the same thing about the wake-up delay.
Also, the Kernel Adiutor seems limited to view settings, am I doing something wrong?

Kernel auditor seems to be working fine for me.

Update : I raised the minimum frequency to 300MHz & that helped the delay with waking the device.

Maybe it's just a question that I don't know how to use it. Could you supply some detailed info of how to arrive to the settings? Thanks in advance/arc

Sure, you just click the 3 line menu in the upper left, click on CPU, & three columns will appear. Touch where it says cpu minimum frequency in the left column & all frequencies will appear. Than you click the one you want to use. I hope this is what you're looking for. If not, let me know.

Great nickster, many thanks, I will try it once I'm back on the ROM, currently I'm trying out the SlimLP. What app are you using to tweak the CPU is that one?

I saw you ask in the slim thread, so I let you know there.

Great, I thought I tried that, but I might have messed something up. I really appreciate your input./arc

I truly appreciate the info, the menu was hidden behind my floatification button./arc

It works. You have to go to settings/LiquidSmooth/Interface/power menu & select the reboot menu in there.

Hows the battery life on this? I am currently on the CM 5.1.1 and it isn't so great (since 5.1).

Also, does one need to update the firmware before proceeding? I would assume so.

I don't think it matters what firmware you're on actually. Battery life is the same as it is on cm which for me has been pretty good.

Can anyone confirm if Citrix Receiver works on this ROM?

Thanks

Tablet freezing

I have an app that is causing this ROM to freeze. It is Nascar's mobile Raceview app. The app is VERY graphic intensive in that it use GPS to track the position of 43 race cars on the track and display full color animation of the cars during a race. You can choose any one of the 43 cars and zoom in on its image and follow it and the cars close to it around the track. And you can also change to pont from which you are viewing the cars. Almost as if you had a drone with a tilt and zoom camera.

My question is, is there anything I can do in the settings to keep it from freezing? I've used the app on tablets with far less capacity than the Tab Pro without any problems. And i've used it with other ROMs on this tablet without problems.
