Your warranty is now void.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

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!

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!

yeah tbh thought it was a fail but i flashed it with the minimal gapps and everything is perfect...except for the usual bugs all our aosp roms have..also might add really really sweet boot ani

I've been popping in every now and again and checking the progress on all these ROMs and it looks like everything's falling into place (with a lot of hard work, of course). Great job spleef and everyone else involved.

The one thing that's been hard to keep track of is which bugs have been fixed in which ROMs. So as of now, what are "the usual bugs all our AOSP ROMS have?"

-- Camera focusing issue
-- Weird bugs related to video / camera display?
-- LTE transition still?
-- Others?

Thanks for taking the time.

That's mostly it in a nutshell..
Camera focus
Sometimes choppy video
GPS sometimes doesn't lock for some
Sound quality and phone functions wonky when headset plugged in....

Think those are the only issues and some are random

Hey does this basically have the same features as root box? But condensed? Just wondering.....

yeah is how i think of it.. almost everything is there is just laid out differently and super lightweight only uses 20mb of system if you flash the minimal gapps
