I'll be back to LS

This is an interesting question .... I tried this rom a few minutes ago .... and the first impression was impressing :good:

But the overwhelming options are too much for me at the moment - If i realised it wrightly at a first glance there are some options double and i don't know if there have to be enabled in a certain order. But i have to invest more time to understand all possibilities and to use it in the wright manner. I want to disable certain apps like apollo, torch, DSP-Manager but i have seen that there is a special point in the settings though i'm not sure if it effects the ROM negatively.

The bootanimation is impressive :D the ROM is really smooth.

And i was stuck with the question how to disable HALO - Maybe tomorrow i find more time to check it again with all your hints.

THX for your hard work ERIK

As i said befor - if i upgrade - i'll use your masterpiece :good:

i know this is a stock port of liquid smooth , but maybe you could adjust it better for our device . for example , the torch app is unusable .
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
Hi Erik, thank you for this amazing work again. The bootanimation is awesome ( don't look for the Text):laugh: the overall smoothness is great, HALO works perfect. Also i like very much the dark theme. You did again a great job.:good:

Protocol of installation

Hi folx,

for now i wrote down a little chronological report of my installation and the first questions i was confronted with..... I hope it helps

[06:30] The flashing starts LS - ROM and GAPPs of DevCon-Team rev. 2

[06:38] Ready to boot - the bootani is awesome - but not perfect ;) LI at the words beginning and H at the end is missing of LiquidSmooth

[06:40] I was able to to enter PIN

[06:42] connect to my Google-account

[06:43] Ready to enter the LiquidZone :D

[06:44] Short lost of Wifi connection

[06:45] Google Search update reported and with it all the former installed apps were downloaded and installed

[06:56] all apps were installed

[07:29] Installed XPosed - it appeared in connection with greenify and RAMBAR

Questions & Comments:

How do the Galaxy S Plus Settings VibrationControl correspond to the Vibration Multiplyer

Under Musiceffects DSP-Manager is implemented in the settings. What if i delete it because i use powerAmp - Will the system get effected ?

Some parts of the settings are in system language - others remain english. For example under menu Interface -> Hardware Tasten -> View or change harware key bindings

What about recent rambar ? Didn't find that point or don't know where to get a closer look to this feature

Is it planned to adapt it "more" accurate to our SGS+ ? As mentioned before Torch isn't really useful for our phone :o

Is it "easily" possible to provide a few adjusted txt-files to get all menu settings in the system language ?

Concerning akku drain i can't obviously say anything for now ;)

A nice Weekend to all

Hey erik...

Awesome ROM.... Everything is working smooth....

Just one request... Can u add other battery icons like speedometer in ur next build...??? If not can u tell which file i need to modify to get those different icons...

Thank you...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] anuseb89:
This is stock liquid smooth..so i dont think erik will modify icons and all..u just have to search for battery icon mods in xda..if i remember correctly this was in rom toolbox by jrummy..
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Well, there are some things I know about HALO. This feature is not just an app (you can delete the .apk and it will still work)... HALO is built in into the frameworks.

It shouldn't eat much RAM memory, the reason why your phone closes some apps automatically when using another one is simply because it needs to free up memory for the app you are using, but this is done by LMK which is a kernel feature. At 512 MB of RAM and a single core CPU, our phone cannot do that much. Using a BIGMEM kernel might help but very little. The reason for this is that the system will drop more often to ASHMEM which is not the ideal memory management.

On my 3.0 kernels I tried to tweak the LMK values to be less aggressive, maybe I'll try to implement it on 3.4 too sometime...

Hey Rhonin!

As always, thank you for support and reviewing!

You can disable/uninstall Torch, Apollo or DSP Manager, it shouldn't affect anything.

For HALO, you can disable it by double tapping it and dragging it on the big red X that appears under the status bar.

For 1: The vibration settings from AriesParts (S plus settings) is meant for defining the vibration intensity while the Vibration Multiplier is used to define the waiting time between each vibration. (e.g. how many times your phone will vibrate when you are called)

For 2: As I said, you can disable/unistall DSP Manager and use any other app. Altough, DSP Manager is a stock feature of CM and it's optimized to run on it, it doesn't mean you can't disable it.

For 3 and 6: I'll have a look at it, maybe something wrong in some strings...

For 4: I don't know what you mean by Rambar... maybe you will find something related to this in the Developer Options

For 5: Yes, in fact, that's my goal :) But for now, these builds are not final and fully adapted for our device, with time, the ROM will get more 'ariesve specific'. For now, Torch (any other unuseful app) can be deleted from Titanium Backup.

Have a nice weeked too!

Regards,

Erik
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] JohnKersten:
Great ROM.

Only thing so far missing animation battery charging.

You can flash this one.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Thank you!

I forgot to include it in this build, I will fix it in the next one!

Guys, thanks to [MENTION=5129587]Pat_Man[/MENTION] the bootanimation is fixed and it's beautiful. :victory:

Download here

push to /system/media and give the right permissions ;)

Also, he tweaked framework-res.apk so when you connect the USB in Mass Storage mode, the LS logo will pop up, not the SlimBean one.

WARNING! Only use this if you are experienced or you will soft brick your device and the only solution will be a data wipe! If you don't know what this is or how to use it/where to push it, just leave it...

Download

This will only work on the current build (build 6 from 21.06.2013).

Thank you Pat_Man!

Enjoy!

Hey Erik, I've found a bug. When you try to select the hide option under HALO options when you go back it disables itself...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] :
Hi Erik, this downloaded bootanimation shows only an animated "android" Text to me. Did i something wrong?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] JohnKersten:
In my situation when I connect the USB in Mass storage it also give me a 'soft reboot' of the phone.

When I installed the downloaded the tweaked framework-res.apk the Slimbean logo pops up and no reboots anymore.

Just installed the rom and love it with one exception..............there is some little bubble on the left of the screen that is persistent but sort of half hides on the outside edge of the screen. It allows access to my juice defender app, and trend micro app. When you touch it it comes out from the side. If you slide it to the right you can access the above mentioned apps. If you slide right then up a red x comes up. Slide right then down a green back arrow comes up. Anyone know what the hell this is. Never there with any other rom. I want the stupid thing gone. Is this the "halo". Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have checked the prior posts, googled, and youtubed with no success. Thanks in advance for the help !
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] gekyfela:
That's halo!
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jabrif:
That's the Halo. Its an advanced notification feature which won't effect the running of background app. ie, you can read/send text, mail or any other app without affecting the main application you are running. Yes you check your text messages even when you are gaming without closing that game.. Interesting isn't it..!!

Well, if you don't like you can disable it. Pull it to the screen, tap it 2 or 3 times and drag it to a circle with X mark near the status bar.

You can re enable it any time from the status.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Haha, that was funny :D

OK, yes that is HALO, a feature taken from ParanoidAndroid. It's there to display notifications, allow additional layers and so on....

But if you don't like it, double tap on on it and drag it in the big red X that appears. That will disable it.

If you decide to re-activate it, just tap the circle from the notification pull-down. :)

Edit: Is Juice Defender working for you on this ROM?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
IN LS there is only one limit mentioned though the orginal parameters consist of 6 adjustable figures (foreground apps , visible apps, secondary server, hidden application, content provider, empty apps. Do you gyus have a gues which limit is meant ? 50 MB is the defaut limit for empty apps ?

Did the above mentioned things and no negativ effect - only one fc from settings during tapping on themes though i deleted the apk :D

Thx for clarifying this.

DSP Manager just blocks RAM in my opinion, though i don't need it except hearing music, but i don't use apollo and poweramp has it's own eqalizer.

If there are parts which can easily translated feel free to send me the textfiles and i'll send you back the translated ones.... :o

I found out what it is all about - If you press the HOME-BUTTON for a longer time the taskmanager appears and on it's top ther appears the RAMbar :o

I delete them the hard way with Root-Explorer ;)

Yesterday i flashed Christopher's K^Kernel with more RAM for test purposes. It seems to work very good. As i observed the memory management of the ROM (and/or the used kernels) is quiet better than with JB 4.1.2. The permanent free memory keeps at it's level up to now. Under 4.1.2 the memory fills up more and more after a certain time.

But the power consumption is noticeable higher than before - but we all know this ;) I attach a screenshot displaying the drain during flighmode in the night. ~ 0,7% per hour - your inofficial 4.0 and K^Kernel consume nearly nothing under the same conditions under CM 10.

Another thing attracts my attention. Somtimes 2 scrollable widgets (Google Keep and simple calendar widget) feel as if there are some breaks working . Normally they scroll up to the end if shoved. After a while they act normally. Maybe due to some swapping activities ?

That's all for now - maybe later more..... Maybe i try a 3.0.x kernel for testing the consumption.... or is it not possible ???

EDIT: OK K^Kernel based upon 3.0.x is working and no problems so far....

Cheers

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] jasonziter:
Just installed the ROM. Not sure if its working correctly. I'll get back to ya on that one. Thanks again! Ultimately I figured it out. Oh.....its not stupid (halo)..sorry for that. Old comforts die hard.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Well, the power consumption on 3.4 kernel improved considerably, maybe with a few charging cycles it will improve.

Yes, you can use a 3.0 kernel but WiFi tethering won't work....

Erik
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Pat_Man:
i confirm that, need to be fixed

the semi-circle on the left side disturb a bit, so the hide option would be useful

Problem with lagging from time to time

Hi Erik,

i've tested the rom now for a certain time and found a lot of options - but now i encounter some problems....

From time to time - mostly after waking up the phone - lists that could be scrolled lag heavily - which log is required to check what causes this behaviour ? I assumed some syncronizing is happening in the background or some swapping.... but i want to verify this - This lagging is annoying because the overall system performance is good.... :o

Whatapp didn't get any pushinformation - maybe the whatapp-system has some problems ... now i restartet the phone fixing permissions again and now i will observe more....

Will your 4.03 Kernel works with the new aries.parts ? I've flashed it onto this build ...

Have a nice evening

Rhonin
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
It will be fixed in time... HALO has just arrived, give it some time and it will be perfect ;)

Hello!

OK, thank you again for feedback.

For 1: I really hope that was something temporary which can be fixed by a cache clearing. I didn't encounter such behaviour... If it still persists, maybe a simple logcat would help, although I doubt that I could find anything related to this inside there....

2. I don't use Whatapp, I guess the notifications worked on CM10, am I right?

Maybe some app incompatibility, some time ago, a user reported that Opera Mobile was not working only Opera Beta or something like that...

Maybe it will be fixed within a ROM/APP update.

And Phenom Kernels won't work with the updated AriesParts. I will update Liquid Smooth and my kernels tomorrow with the latest DevCon changes.

Have a nice evening too!

Regards,

Erik
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] silverTwins:
rhonin86 - simply love the way you substantiate your reports with adequate data! its a welcome relief frm testers who just say a particular app is not working and leave it like that.. your posts at the least are extremely informative.. thanks :) am sure the developers will agree too..
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Rhonin86:
THX for your kind words - but i'm not sure if it is the rom that creates this behaviour or the kernel - it was the newest k^kernel....

Maybe i should provide the whole log to Christopher too...

Maybe later...

Very smooth on a clean install but i have something strange now. If i want to install something and i get the screen with decline/install then i cant touch the install button so i cant install apps. Test multiple things and it's not a fault of the screen because my phone do everything except that. Anyone a clue for this? Thx

Read some page before and if you install an apk you disability for that time HALO and should works the touch button to install

Hello again!

The logs you provided, only shows that the system ran out of pmem and fall back to ashmem. This happens very often on our device, but it doesn't result in lags.... I don't know.... I will try to investigate more. Thank you for your support.

Just disable HALO when installing APK's.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] fragioud:
Hello,

I think that last build is the best so far. :thumbup:

I have to mention that the option of "sms to mms auto conversion" doesn't work. It corverts them always even if it is unchecked. Also, there are 2 options with names "sms split" and "split sms". What's the difference? Or one is duplicate of other?
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Yeah, it's a weird messaging app. I might be able to fix the duplicated setting (I don't think there us any difference between them) but for now I don't know why it always converts to MMS...
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Pat_Man:
I had this problem too and i find out that this problem caused by halo when it's activated. With deactivated halo you can install everything.

Freememory

Hi Erik,

sry - for disturbig again - but i'm not pretty sure if the FreeMemory under Performance -> Advanced Settings -> Free Memory has any effect on the system. I controlled the systems / kernels LMK values via auto memory manager.

i atttache some screenshots to make it clearer.

Cheers

Rhonin

OK Testing with your new BIGMEM Kernel is now in progress and on a first glance it seems as if the lagging has been vanished - but that is only the first impression..... Stay tuned for further information ;)

OK that was just an illusion - on a second glance the lagging during scrolling appears again :(
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] h0rn3t:
I make the same test like you. It seems that auto memory manager load on start its own values. You can verify the values setting by PerformanceControl with command

I 've been waiting for this :good: Downloading right now :D I'll post feedback later on.

[EDIT] Wi-Fi tethering works like a charm, notification drawer is actually smoother, HALO works even better (faster), maybe a placebo / fresh flash effect, can't tell for now :) Anyway, my GT-i9001 says, it's his last ROM till the end of his days ;) Great stuff, educk, as always.

The only issue encountered is periodical soft-reset when "Turning on USB" connection. :cyclops:

What logs should I provide? (no "last_kmsg" file found in /proc/)
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] educk:
Hey, Thank you!

I'm really happy to hear that WiFi tethering is working! Finally :D

'make clean' really does help a lot sometimes....

Unfortunately, I get that reboot too so you don't need to provide any logs. It's a weird thing and it only happens on some devices. Even on ancora, some users encounter them, others don't...

Fortunately, it only happens when you first connect the USB in Mass Storage mode, after that, everything is OK...

I tried to investigate in the past but I didn't find anything that can lead me to solve this.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Pat_Man:
there is a solution

I have searched a lot for a solution of this problem. I was browsing through several forums and I'm encountered onto something. when apps are installed on sdcard,if these are running or running in the background and then you connect the phone to the pc, you will get a soft reboot. So I moved my apps from sdcard to phone and then tried it again, no more soft reboots. maybe this will help you too.

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] vijer:
Is there any way to disable Halo? I have no need for it and it is annoying.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AnandMuralidhar:
You have to double tap the holo circle and drag it to the X (Red Circle) on top.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] vijer:
I can't see that I would ever use Halo but I have activated it by accident. On the notifications drawer there is a goofy icon (blue circle with a white text bubble inside) I clicked this to see what it was and SADLY it opened my antivirus in one of these insipid floating boxes. Then it left this badge floating around my desktop and the only way to get rid of the badge is a multi hand/finger tap/drag/hold something cluster fug to get rid of it. Then the annoying icon is put back on the notification drawer.

I appreciate that some would like this feature, but one of the reasons I RAN AWAY from Apple was to get away from FORCED developer choices. Halo should have a simple way to enable and disable it. It is nice that developers add new features they should just not require them.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Pat_Man:
Erik knows that problem and i'm sure he will be able to fix it in the future.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AnandMuralidhar:
Hi Educk

Thank You
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] vijer:
Same

I have the same problem.

---------- Post added at 05:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:47 AM ----------

I have tried double tap and it doesn't work. I have to hold down the floating badge, then drag it up and hold it, then the red X tries to appear, have to fiddle with it a few times then the X finally appears fully and I have to keep holding the badge and tap the X with another finger.

Real nonsense. I realize this is not by design, but LS could have made Halo optional instead of forcing it on us.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] Aldokazer:
I don't why you people don't like HALO. For me, its amazing. I am using my phone in the extended mode with HALO and pie, and it is working like a charm.

To disable HALO, you need to tap it twice and keep on holding it after the second tap. Then just simply move it towards the red cross.

Sometimes, when it gets annoying, you can also hide it by pressing and sliding your finger down.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AnandMuralidhar:
It should work.Its working perfectly for me.You just need to double tap and hold it.The X automatically appears when you drag towards the top.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] coronero:

[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] achkap:
I love halo. I was on ls rom and switched to pa rom because of halo. And now got back to ls. But I want the circle to hide itself when not in use. There is a setting on halo settings but if you tick it and go back it doesn t stay ticked. So I want this that s why I qm asking if there is a solution. I don t want to disable it
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] AnandMuralidhar:

Yes, I know it should but something is causing it to misbehave. Anyway I got it stopped and will avoid enabling any more Halo windows until LiquidSmooth adds an option to disable Halo.

---------- Post added at 05:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Thanks for the reply. Its just one of those things some like others hate. I don't like PIE controls either. Doesn't make either of us bad people. But PIE controls can be disabled in settings and Halo cannot. There in lies the rub.
[Galaxy S Plus I9001 Android Development] achkap:
I think it is rom related because on pa rom was working great. Meybe something with permissions...

Guys, just be patient, there is a lot going on for me right now...

As I said, HALO is not perfect yet.

But, I think the settings are fixed in the liquid smooth repo (the fix was added yesterday), so in my next build hopefully this bug won't occur.

Thanks everyone for feedback and support! :)
