If this is a dumb question i'm sorry in advance, lol ..What is the difference between this Liquidsmooth and the Liquidsmooth in the other thread:confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] how_weird:
One is official (from the liquid smooth team) and the others are not. People take the rom as a base to work off of and add or remove things to try to make it better/ have other options. That is it.

Now this, I'm liking this ROM. I went from a Nexus S on Slim Bean to this, and it's very smooth. Plus this has nothing to do with TouchWiz on the stock ROM, which looks like it was designed for children or the elderly (it's huge!).

Looking forward to LiquidSmooth featuring 4.2!

i am currently on liquidsmooth rc7 and am thinking of switching to rc9 and my question is that can i just dirty flash over the old rom, cause i dont want to set it all up again, thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
I did that...make a backup first then wipe dalvik and cache first then install the rom then install the same gapps that you did for 7....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Skyline969:
Just another reminder to not restore certain settings from Titanium Backup. Restoring my SMS messages, call log, and wi-fi settings went all fine, but I tried to restore my Bluetooth settings and my phone started to hate life when it came to Bluetooth. By that, I mean it would randomly disconnect from Bluetooth while in calls and whatnot, very bad when you're driving on an icy road.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
For all of you that wanted the weather on the lockscreen to look like a pic instead of a drawing..

I seem to be having an issue where Messaging will randomly FC when sending/receiving a message, and Phone also randomly FCs while in a call, typically while Bluetooth is connected.

* I have done a clean install.

* I am using the kernel that comes with the ROM.

* I am using the 20121011 gapps.

* I am not overclocking.

Contacts Closing on RC9

I've read the thread about deleting the old contacts apk from my phone and copying over the one from the zip file. That whole process and changing permissions is something a little over my head.

Is there any easier fix for this. I've done the standard factory wipe, cache and dalvik wipes, etc.

I've had this propblem on RC 9 and on the RC9 Kang.

Other than that, no issues at all. I put this on my wife's phone (admittedly she's a light user) and first battery charge after install lasted her 2+ days with about 90 minutes of screen time. Now if only I could limit my screen time like that....ain't happening.

How are you adding your contacts? There is something corrupt in there...the is nothing wrong with the rom so it has to be your end...try installing the rom and manually add a couple of contacts and see what happens...

If it doesnt cause any problems then the answer is no but if you get fc issues and system not responding messages then its a problem.

Samsung Galaxy S III (TMUS) = d2tmo not going to bash you at this point since you probably will never let this happen again but triple or even quadruple check before doing anything in the future but you know that now.

No need to scare people since he flashed the Galaxy S III rom and not the skyrocket which is the exact phone as ours. I understand you being worried but you have probably flashed Skyrocket based roms with the proper changes to make it work on our phone without even knowing it...:D

But too each his own and its ok to be safe..

Try and find the drivers for an SIII and load them up on your pc and see if it recognizes your phone. Quite sure there are threads related to this somewhere just google it

I have already sent for warranty service. Exactly one week later after Samsung warranty replaced the touch pad and the LCD screen. The phone was like new all over again and I was pretty happy. However, the CM JB rom gave a poor reception, people couldn't hear me, so decided to try this. It's my fault I didn't ask, but the instructions weren't as clear either. I've had installed incompatible ROMs in the past and all I got was a freeze. Nothing like this. It never came up to life once I rebooted. It asked for format via USB connection, but could not proceed.

I just want them to fix my current phone. Hope they will not send a refurb.

Once I get it back, which version should I install? :laugh:

The model is SGH-T989ZKBTMB just to make things clear. I hope it won't happen again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] playya:
Simply flash the one for your phone. If this phone then T989 or Hercules, if you have flashed wrong ROMs before you need to pay better attention my friend.

I havnt updated my ROM in a bit and would like to try this one. But this message that you cant backup and restore data with TB? Why is that?

How are you guys backing up and Restoring apps and data? Just using google play will just bring back apps I have downloaded but not my settings etc.

The contacts and email im not worried about. Google takes care of that handidly.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Hightower68:
Oh IC it refers to system data from the previous ROM. It just said data so I didnt understand it. Sorry. TB backups everything except system data anyhow for me.

Perhaps you and others are using some other program for backup and restore anyhow.

GPS takes forever to lock this is the worst performing most annoying GPS has ever been in the history of my android usage. I have tried everything to fix this, changed config, I use gps status and still nothing, turn by turn navigation wont launch and it takes 10 mins plus to get a lock even if I am standing outside. Does anyone have any ideas as how to fix this?

and before anyone says it yes I have cleanly installed this rom.

I restore data from TB perfectly fine, just gotta restore it one by one and don't batch them. Even when i did batch restore, TB ask me to reboot and everything was fine and dandy.

One thing I am having again is when my gps locks it turns off...when I go to location settings the use with apps is unchecked and when I check it, it unchecks again...when I reboot everything works again....anyone else with this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] doanthaitu:
try to go to setttings, click on your google account and choose "location" if it's off then turn it on and all will be well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
It's on...when the gps starts it will acquire then when it locks it turns off...even if I check and then uncheck the setting you are talking about..it won't stop doing that until I reboot...other than that I have no problems locking within 5 sec when that is not happening...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shatterpoints:
You are right. I was having a horrible day and I really let it get to me. I really like this rom and I have never had an issues with it until I tried gps which I needed yesterday. Its no excuse and I apologize. I truly am out of ideas as to how I can fix my issue. I don't want to have to reflash... I get a gps lock sometimes but it looses the lock and then its a never ending cycle. Also I can get maps to show my location via gps but it wont launch turn by turn. I've tried un installing and re installing it and no luck + the other TS steps in my ranting post. Anyway again I am sorry for how I originally posted. Its not xda's or the dev's fault my stuff don't work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] djtheraven:
I think this it's what I'm experiencing..does it search then lock then turn off...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] shatterpoints:
For me gps does not turn off. It stays on and goes from an avg of 8/10 sats locked to 0/10 until I open up gps status again in which it changes again from 0/10 back to 8/10. If I open maps it shows the gps lock and when I tap the location symbol it finds me but within a 1500m cone of accuracy. No matter how long I wait it never gets better than that. When I try to get navigation it sits forever waiting for location. Again if I reference gps status it shows an accurate lock with correct coords.

I've been using rc9 since it came out and added hotcakes kernel after setup...I would get hot reboots "rr" here and there and especially on bootup where my phone would boot then hot reboot again before I could use it...some apps would freeze and some games didn't work right...

What I did that fixed all that was wipe cache, wipe dalvik, factory reset then reinstalled everything on top without reflashing the rom or kernel...

Now that was 2 weeks ago and all those problems haven't come back and my phone is smoother than ever...all games work and the only issue I have is GPS will turn off after lock after I use Facebook but that is a jb on Hercules bug which I can toggle GPS and all its fine...

I'm using interactive oc 1.72, cfq 1024 and no gpu oc...

Just one note to all you flashaholics, roms do take some time to settle and if you keep flashing over and over you will never have really smooth stable and good battery....and I'm sure any dev will back up that statement...hope this helps...
