[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silverTwins:
christopher - this prob was not there before.. I got this after upgrading to the latest pkf manager.. and yes I did restart the phone after some time.. it did not help
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Christopher83:
The latest PKF Manager has only some further translations.

Remember that the app doesn't filter anything by itself, it allows to interact and customize the filtering parameters exposed by the phantom_kp_filter kernel module.

Are you sure you haven't upgraded the rom or anything else in the meanwhile? Is your I9001 fallen/dropped recenty?

In the past did you use the 2G mode as now, or 3G mode or wifi?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jabrif:
Hi Christopher,

Me too have it in big numbers. I thought it 's normal..! Is that any problem..?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jekkel:
Hi All,

First of all, thanks for the amazing support on this rom for educk and Rhonin.

Currently I'm on Build 4 and just thinking about upgrading to build 8. Overall, I'm absolutely satisfied with build 4, but I'd like to ask what advantages has build 8 over it, next to HALO? For HALO alone, I will not upgrade as I would otherwise disable it for the first time, but maybe there are some things which worth to see. I mean like better battery life, faster response time, better ram management, etc.

Could someone please share some kind of experience on this?

Thanks
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Laurentyu1995:
I think it worth to upgrade to build 8 because with every build this rom it's better in my opinion and also liquid team have made some changes and fixes and it doesn't take so much to upgrade from build 4 to build 8...this is my opinion..you can do whatever you want
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jekkel:
I'm about to agree with you, just trying to be sure that build 8 is better in every meanings than build 4 and not worse in any meanings.

One more question on this. Can I use 3.4 and 3.0 kernels too with build 8 or only 3.4?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Laurentyu1995:
As i know you can use both ( 3.4.x and 3.0.x ) kernels just to be for android 4.2.2... If you use 3.0.x kernel i think wifi thetering will not work anymore
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
The 3.0.x kernel is more energy-efficient in my opinion - so if you can relinquish Wifi-Tethering - you can use it. Maybe the UI under the new 3.4.x kernel is a little more fluid.... but that is only a notion...

BTW - i use it for quiete a while and the akkudrain is lower than under the same system with 3.4.x kernel. But that is only a question of time.....

Cheers

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silverTwins:
exactly my point Christopher.. I did upgrade the rom to the latest build ie build 8 and then upgraded pkf from playstore.. and I hvnt dropped the cell.. I always use 2g and wifi.. this is the reason I posted this problem in this thread rather than in the pkf thread..
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jekkel:
Thanks for the info. How much is the difference in battery drain? Currently I have around 5% / hour battery drain with build 4 and 3.0 kernel with constant 3G and no wifi, no gps, no bt, with average use. Is it much worse with 3.4?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Christopher83:
Mmmh...

It's really strange, generally the touchkeys haven't so many ignored key presses.

Erik, are there changes on rom side and RIL related coming with the new build of the rom?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
I try to compare always the powerconsumption during the night in flightmode - there i get nearly ~ 0,1 % per hour and with 3.4 ~ 0,5 % .During normal usage it seems that i stay at about 1 % per hour with 3.0 and about 2 % per hour with 3.4. But that always depends on the usage.... so it is not easy to compare.

But further development will hopefully decrease the akkudrain

Cheers

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Jacol82:
Sorry for OT but is 50 mb default value for minfree task killer? And what value is best for our device in your opinion? (I know, try for yourself) but I would like to know the settings of more experienced users, thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silverTwins:
as rhonin said.. the smoothness factor of 3.4 is more a placebo effect for me rather than actuality .. the phone in normal usage ( voice calls, music player, camera) won't make that much of a difference with either of the kernels .. yes the average drag in the app drawer feels smoother plus there are many more customizations enabled.. battery drain is def a bit on the higher side in 3.4 kernels compared to 3.0 kernels but that aside the performance aspects of 3.4 kernels are way better than 3.0 kernels.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
I tried different settings and it is always better to have more RAM available if you got any memory intensiv app. (GAMES) But if you set the LMK too high it results in a permanent swapping which causes lags. So the right values depend also on the used kernel and the delivered free memory.

From your post i can see that you are using the older PerformanceControl with only one value. In the newer one you can set 6 values. AFAIR christopher raised his values up to 80 MB max while the former values were about 60 MB.

These are the only information i can provide - maybe christopher or educk have a better advice....

Cheers

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Jacol82:
That's more than enough, thank you! Didn't know, that the newest version of PC has got so many signifficant changes, i'll install it right away :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silverTwins:
umm any suggestions on this?? just wanted to add that the apps are not force closing.. but they are simply killed by the system..
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
That is really strange....

Does this behavior also occur with other kernels ? Have you changed the lmk minimum to 100 MB just to see if it happened again ?

For there is just one annoying thing - shortly after waking up i experience a porblem concerning vertical lists . Scrollable Widgets and for example contacts do not scroll to the end but were stopped early as if there is a resistor. This behavior disappears after a minute .... Did anyone else encounter this behavior ?

THX in advance

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silverTwins:
hi rhonin.. just to eliminate the possibility of this being a kernel issue I downgraded to k^kernel v 1.4 oc uv 390 version but the problem still existed.. I did set the lmk values to 100mb but that just delayed the system from closing the apps for a few more minutes and then.the same.. today I downgraded to build 7 of liquid smooth and I hvnt faced such issues anymore
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silviu_iliescu:
My phone died again today. I've left it to charge and when I came back from my exam, the battery was full and the phone was running like ****. I tried to reboot it, but it never boot up. It was stuck at bootanimation. I've left it a half a hour almost. I did a backup, erased everything including the SD and tried to restore backup, but no luck. I'm gonna do a clean install and hope it will work out well.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
Against dying..... a first approach

That is an annoying situation - i've encountered it also.

Smeroni68 has an explanation for this buggy behavior -> here.

So what to do then ?

I advise you to use either ADC-Team Recovery or the in the OP-delivered CWM if you don't use it already - maybe changing from one to the other may help ? And remember its always better / safer to enter CWM from the power menu -> Restart in recovery

Install again over the fresh wiped system

Maybe you should deactivate touch sounds - in former times there were also problems with boothangs during reboot and activated touchsounds

And for the first time you shouldn't check any privacy gurad activity under apps...

I wish you success and if it is possible please provide some logs for the devs - so that they are able to analyse the prob in detail.

Cheers

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silviu_iliescu:
Thank you for your reply. After a bit of thinking, i now realise that the same thing determined PA rom when I used it to do the same thing that this rom did. I've flashed recently k kernel. Wiped cache, dalvik and fixed permissions. The phone boot up. I used it for a few days. It became laggy so I rebooted it. Then the phone is stuck at bootanim. Exactly the same thing happened in both cases. As I said. Now I have formated all of the partitions incl. Sd and everything seems to be running fine.

And about that privacy thing. How can i disable it? Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] darsh11192:
I have the same problem last night.... And today also... Wen i tried to reboot the phone after deleting some system apps like nova launcher, email and installed the performance control which erik have put after releasing the rom.... The phone just stuck at bootanimation... I kept for 15 minutes but still showing bootanimation... Than i wiped system .. Data.. And did fresh install of rom than it booted...

Earlier i had installed cross breeder and it booted successfully..

I dont know why its happening to new version i dint had such issue on earlier versions....
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
AFAIK there is no possibility to disable it because it is a major part of CM10.1. So there is only the possibility to activate/disable the privacy guard per app and there is a general setting under security settings to activate the guard automatically for all newly installed apps.

The new implemented privacy guard from CM10.1 seems to create such problems on our device. I think the ADC-Team is working on that problem too.

So that are the only information i can provide. Up to now we'll have to wait either for ADC-Team or for LiquidSmooth-Team - especially Educk to find a solution....

So long

Rhonin

EDIT:

I could install the build8a and the newest ADC-GAPPs withour any problems.

Just to test functionality i checked privacy guard on 3 apps and restartet the phone. Then after reboot it shuts down - with the next reboot it starts normally but i couldn't get an internet connection :( - Reboot into recovery wipe cache / dalvik - Now it works again without any problems.....

May i assume that after checking privacy guard it is necessary to wipe cache / dalvik ???
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silviu_iliescu:
I don't remember allowing that thing. I did not allowed it when I reinstalled today for sure. The only apk that I install is Titanium Backup. The rest I restore from nandroid backup with TB. Maybe that could be a problem....
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] liudmil8888:
Works great but for a couple of hours :D may be I've done something wrong :eek:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
I don't trust in TB in such cases - it seems that there are also some hidden settings restored within that prevent the proper working. I always would start with a new clear installation.....

But that is only my opinion...... :o

Cheers

Please explain - otherwise this info doesn't help anyone.

Which build do you use ? Original kernel ? What happened exactly ?

THX in advance

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] darsh11192:
I m not telling it doesnot boot at all... But sometimes it behaves like this....
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silviu_iliescu:
Ok, but how do you restore your things?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
Concerning backups - my 5 cents

I backup my contacts via google account

SMS aren't that important

Whatsapp - with the backup implemented

All Apps are also syncronised over google account

OK i don't know what about games - because i don't play very much

That are the only things that i have to backup ;)

Cheers

Release 1

Hello guys!

As promised, here is the first Official Liquid Smooth build:

[B]Release 1 [04.07.2013][/B]
*First official build
*Bump LS version to 2.8
*New Phenom Kernel v4.2.0 (synced with latest changes made by arco)
*Set resampler quality (credits to arco)
*Privacy Guard fix possible NPE (credits kufikugel)
[I]-hopefully those bootloops after Gapps flash are fixed now[/I]
*Update Performance Control (credits to h0rn3t)
[I]-more stability with kernels without VDD Sysfs interface[/I]
*New static boot image (credits Stefano187 and Christopher83)
*Sync to latest CM/LS sources

I would also like to thank [MENTION=4343903]Rhonin86[/MENTION] for his support while I was gone.

A little OFF-Topic:

Today when I was going back home, it started to rain terribly. While I was getting out of the car and running inside my house, my phone slipped out of my pocket and fall on the ground with the display up. I didn't notice only when I was searching for my keys so my phone took a massive cold shower for 30 seconds. I got back home, took out the battery (it was wet even under it), tried to dry it and then I powered it on. It didn't get past the bootsplash, it was stuck in a bootloop. As soon as the bootloader loaded the kernel it rebooted... Also, it was unable to boot into recovery mode/download.

So, I disassembled it (Adam Outler style) and dried the motherboard with the the hair dryer. After that, I reconnected everything and my phone booted up successfully. I was happily watching the Liquid Smooth boot animation...

Conclusion: Even if Samsung forgot our phone, they still made it pretty much "indestructible".

Of course, I couldn't resist to not take a picture of the motherboard so here is a close-up for you guys (sorry for the poor quality):

Gapps are from June 8th, last gapps from devcon are from June 28th.

Is this the correct gapps (June 8th)?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silverTwins:
erik I didn't knw that u r a hardware tester too alobgwith a software developer :p

jokes aside i really hope this version solves my problem of apps closing off due to lack of ram. further I can flash this version of liquid smooth with twrp 2.2.1 also right?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
The gapps from the OP are the first edition of DevCon gapps, I always test those first with every new LS build.

But you can use the new DevCon gapps from CM10.1 Thread without problems.

Hey!

Well, I love hardware and software customization, doesn't matter on which platform. The most important thing IMHO is to keep calm, no matter what happens ;)

And yes you can use TWRP 2.2.1, the problem was not related to TWRP recovery, there were some privacy guard problems, check this out.

To be 100% sure, after flashing the ROM, boot it up fist before flashing Gapps.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] darsh11192:
Hey erik one request...

Can u put the latest xposed installer i.e. 2.1.4 in ur next realease... In this version its still 2.1.3...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
Congratulation

You have released it finally ... :good:

and now i have flashed it ...

First thing - Flashing works without problems :D I have prepared a document for the non tanslated passages of the ROM and partially i have translated it... If i'm through i'll send it to you

But i wonder if i'm the only one with this lagging experience shortly after waking the phone up - Each list which can be scrolled vertically can't be scrolled up to the end - it was shortly after swiping slowed down... And it's the same with different kernels....

And my friend - the torch app has creeped inside the ROM again ;)

THX for all your efforts

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
Hi Erik,

first of all, thanks for the first official build of liquid smooth. We all can be proud of you, for this great work.:good:

I've flashed it a few minutes ago and in the first minutes, everything was great as always. After 10 minutes of using the phone it's get very slow and lags like hell. When i've pressed the Homebutton, it was needing 8 seconds to go to the homescreen. The same with other apps.:confused:

Of course i've wiped cache and dalvik and fixed permissions after the installation.

So i've flashed the latest K^Kernel, just to try, and guess what: All problems are gone.:D

Maybe something is wrong in your new Kernelbuild?

Anyway, i'm proud to be a user of the first official Liquidsmooth, thank you very much.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] TheRippaG:
can someone make a flashable zip for the new phenom kernel 4.2.0 ?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
Short OT:
[MENTION=4343903]Rhonin86[/MENTION]: Thank you for all of your comments and explanations in this and in many other threads. Your postings are always very useful and informative. For me, people like you (and the devs of course) are representing what XDA is all about.:good:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
I can tell you how i would do it - though it is not the proper way.... :p

I would download an old flashable kernel and the newest rom. Open both files with 7zip. Erase the boot.img from the flashable kernel, copy the boot.img from the opened rom, and put the boot.img in the flashable kernel.

But i think, that Erik will soon release his kernel in the corresponding thread....

Cheers

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Laurentyu1995:
I've installed this rom and it is smooth, fast, stable.... No problems so far... Thank you Erik !!!!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] genericmann:
Nevermind me, just found my answer.

Thank you for your great ROM!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jabrif:
Great work Erik.

You always deliver best work. Now officially...:highfive:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] metalrules321:
An official update, Nicceeee mate :highfive:Been waiting for this. Downloading now
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] fragioud:
Is the bug with auto-conversion to mms fixed in last official version?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
No, but I checked the source code and I probably fixed it, I attached a new MMS package (backup the old one and push the new one to /system/app/ and give correct permissions).

Let me know if it works this time! :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Racun:
Congratulations! It is now official LiquidSmooth :good:

waiting this on ancora device
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] fragioud:
How can i change the permissions??? :silly:
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
You can just fix permissions in recovery...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
Or you use ES File Explorer 3 as rootexplorer. Copy the mentioned file in the destination - mark the mms.apk and open more and then properties and then change permission. The right settings can be seen in the attachment...

Cheers

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] fragioud:
Thanks both of you guys but it still behaves the same... Does it work to you?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
I said that I probably fixed it, it looks like it didn't worked they way I tried...

Tanks for trying though!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] janesz1981:
how can i make more ram? virtual ram good too. already have big mem kernel. i want more.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Ok, probably the playstore didn't update itself for some reason... Reflash Gapps and try with this one from davidteri: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2076977

That was the problem, my Playstore updated itself so I didn't have these issues...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] gartzen:
Trying it for a few hours, and working like a charm. Store, Greenefy, and everything I tried. I'll continue testing, but for now, if not the best, it's one of the best roms i've tried. Nice work.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] EminSG:
If only I have upside down front camera? If i was reported then sorry
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] cezaralboiu:
The front camera is upside down..
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Great! Thank you for feedback!

No, it wasn't! Thanks for reporting, it will be fixed in the next build.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Laurentyu1995:
Also liquid papers (liquid wallpapers) it's FC-ing when i press next to go to second page....So far so good :d... Thank you Erik for this awesome rom !!!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] muhammadnajmi96:
may i know which gapps did you use because I'm still facing the issue that my play store fc's and I can't install apk file. :)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] gartzen:
Keyboard selection not working. I use Swiftkey, I select it, works for a while, but then it goes back to stock keyboard.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Laurentyu1995:
I'm using gapps from OP and i don't have problems with Google play and i can install apk from my SD card... I did a full wipe
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] muhammadnajmi96:
thanks :D , i think i should change my recovery back to cwm 5.5.0.4 because currently i'm using twrp and i kinda noob using this recovery
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Luzmo:
Can't confirm that problem. I'm using Swype keyboard from play store and working fine.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] psaikia:
When waking the phone the screen brightness increases in a flash and then comes to normal . Is it a bug or new feature.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] stuffynet:
Trust me when I say that this rom is a keeper. If all liquid settings work it will be the smoothest and most battery friendly rom (with the right kernel). ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] teachmeluv:
Good ROM so far but i am missing the calendar app. Does anyone know a good alternative? Or is there a possibility to get back the original one from android?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Luzmo:
You can find Google calendar from Play Store. Works for me.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] stuffynet:
Here you go. Just push to system/app and set permissions. ;)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] dnkncht:
this is awesome ! thanks for porting ! :)

btw i've seen on you github, you used davidteri's device file's as base. for me i got there massive battery drain. :/

anyone confirm or is it just me?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Yeah, old 4.2.2 ROM bug present on all builds...

Thank you! The thing is that I want to fix everything that can be fixed. I still don't know why for some people the Play Store is going crazy, I already fixed the cam orientation and added some updates in kernel... I need to solve some stuff and it will be ready for a new release (possibly at the end of this week)...

Well, you got massive battery drain on david's build because it's based on 3.4 kernel and that one has this unknown wake-lock...that's why I included 3.0 kernel temporary...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Laurentyu1995:
another bug: if you connect the phone to the usb it's soft rebooting but after that it's working (mass storage mode i've tried).. not a big deal.. .krislibaeer said some time ago ( this problem was/is still present in carbon rom) that it's linaro toolchain( if i remember correctly) fault .. but as i said before it's not a big deal and i think everyone can handle with it... and if you change the toolchain i don't think it will be as fast as with linaro toolchain.... no problems so far except known problems... Thank you Erik !! And in my opinion i think this is the best 4.2.2 rom until now for our s+

EDIT : Erik could you please remove the Torch app because unfortunately we don't have flash led and it's useless ?
