[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
Thanks, I'll try to be patient. I tried both of the other KitKats for the Skyrocket, and realize it's pretty primitive right now. Software development goes through several stages: make it work, make it work right, make it work good, then make it work pretty. :D

I really do appreciate all the work you put in to this excellent adaptation!

Edit December 10

According to the postings on the threads of others who have released KitKat for the Skyrocket, it appears that 4.4 is progressing, but is still not perfect. I was (almost) tempted to give Wantowan2's KitKat another try with his release from today, but although that is a fine adaptation, it's just not LiquidSmooth.

Someone asked me just what do I like about Liquid. Jelly Bean is Jelly Bean. Each OP, however, adds features that make their adaptation unique. LiquidSmooth is no exception. Here's a list of the features that keep me running it:

#1 is the ease of use of the Settings interface, which controls the power of the system. Some of the others are what you could call "cool," but do nothing to really enhance my experience when I go in to make a change.

Another thing is a really thing, that is the setting that keeps the "settings" button in the notification drawer. Yeah, I know, you can work around that, through use of ribbons, or placing a shortcut in the notification drawer, but there it is, top right, whenever I slide my finger down the screen.

When my friends ask me why I use a custom ROM, I could go into settings and show all the neat stuff that I like to mess with, but soon their eyes glaze over with such a demonstration. However, when I call up a list of any kind, and they see the behavior of the Listview Animation, I see a sparkle instead of a glaze. Common response: "Kewel!" (It's actually "chido!" but the meaning is the same.)

Same thing when I open or close an application. The transitions, available from the Animation Control, really gets rave reviews when anyone messes with my phone. (I use this in conjunction with Go Launcher, for even more "Wow!")

Plugging my phone in, or removing the USB cable, gives me an audible notification. I have made this a "must." Along with Go Power Master to give me a really annoying tone when the battery is finished charging, I can control my battery more closely.

The ability to control the way my battery is displayed in the statusbar is another thing I insist on. Since I keep mine to "text only," it's clear and easy to read.

The same with the battery bar. It helps me with an easily seen graphical notification of when I need to recharge.

Oh, yeah, in that same vein, LiquidSmooth promises--and delivers--excellent battery life. Thirty-six or more hours between chargings is not uncommon.

And when the battery is about to become exhausted, the low battery warning with a pop-up and user-settable sound isn't implemented on all versions, either.

Another thing I like is the ability--not unique to LiquidSmooth, but not available on all implementations--is the ability to set the screen density.

The control that LiquidSmooth gives over the LockScreen is stupendous. Got my weather, my calendar notifications, and my quick-launch sliders all there. Although the latest release of Liquid offers, but doesn't deliver, eight lockscreen sliders, I've found that the five that do work is sufficient for my needs.

How about breathing SMS and Missed Calls in the status bar? Gets my attention when my attention was previously elsewhere.

Finally, the QuickMessage function, while a feature of the messaging app rather than the ROM, is something I insist on.

One thing I hope carries forward into KitKat is my ability to use the TouchWiz smart clock that another OP has created. On one of the KitKat ROMs I flashed, that clock caused an fc. There are several versions available, so hopefully one of them will work with KK.

Anyway, since this thread is so stagnant, I thought I'd add in a couple'a pennies worth of my thoughts. Thanks again for all you do, Toyes. Looking forward to the post where you announce the new release... Also, if you would like a volunteer to give a test drive, I'll be happy to help you out there.
