Rom Updated!!!

Please see the OP for download and post #2 for change log.

Thanks Toyes

Downloading this too. Damn slow down lol:D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] berniesteven:
Dl now. Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] JBry:
So far only Maps and Goggles are rr'ing for me. Even after downloading fresh from the Play Store and fixing permissions. :confused:

Update: Upon closer inspection, TWRP standard wipe doesn't include /system. After doing an advanced wipe including /system and reflashing, the rr's seem to have stopped..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Fall of Enosis:
LOL, actually after posting this I did the legwork myself and found the exact radio you posted. Thanks a ton mate. ;) Seems as though I was on an old ICS radio and didn't know it.

Cheers!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] immaeetuu:
I have two issues to report:

1. With GPS on, when Google Maps is launched, random reboot appears.

2. I'm not sure if this is the issue of the CM10.1 kernel, but Bluetooth is going funky on me and doesn't work.

Thanks for the update though! :cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dakpluto:
Well, don't be surprised by that. Some of the ICS radios were the best in my opinion. I'd still run one if I could. Always got my best signal and data on them over JB radios for some reason.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xxthe:
Going to try this ROM :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chrislo.7:
Thanks! Saved me alot of trouble

EDIT:

Got a problem with my capacitive buttons, it seems to not be functional after using the rom for a few minutes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jrodbrown58:
I'm getting a rr whenever I try to open my youmail app. Haven't seen on anything else just yet. I will try fixing permissions to see if that helps. But great rom so far besides that little glitch!

*edit* just tried fixing the permissions through recovery and still same rr. Any ideas why?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jd1639:
Check with the app developer. Does it 4.2.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jrodbrown58:
Yeah, it works on 4.2.2 bc im running another rom with it as we speak. and I talked to dev about it and he wasn't sure what it could be either. said it could be a lot of things
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jiggs82:
Any update for this yet? :) jc
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mrfeuss:
If I'm not mistaken, [MENTION=4779173]toyes[/MENTION] has had some issues with his Skyrocket as of late (brick then possible hardware malfunction). I think he grabbed a Nexus 4 and is thinking about getting his Rocket fixed, but he usually doesn't post untested builds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jiggs82:
Oh ok hope he gets his skyrocket fixed and continues his development for it thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
Yes my skyrocket just had to have a bit of a rest. It is now back up and running as my backup device now. My N4 is my daily driver and still stock. Using my skyrocket to mess around on so I will look into an update for here. (If it will build, last build was a pain)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Jiggs82:
Awesome thanks & good luck:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gulbir101:
Can this be flashed on to the T989? I know 4.1.2 could be with a rotation fix, but I didn't find anything on 4.2.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Yes.

And for rotation fix, look at the libraries that were used, and simply make ur own fix by extracting this libraries from a 4.2.2 ROM for the t989, making a recovery flashable zip and installing it over this ROM... Then post it and share with ur fellow herculeans lol

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Flashed this tonight, and I must say Toyes, this is a very clean and slick build. I've run into no issues thus far and I'm glad to have liquid back on my phone. This one might keep me away from slim for a while:) good work sir, and thanks for working so hard for us. Hope you're enjoying your new phone!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
damn, now I am going to be late for work, but it's worth it, mad appreciation Toyes

**WARNING** well, I must add that after flashing (wipe cache 3x, wipe dalvik 3x, fact/reset) everything appeared to be working great, until I opened the gallery...

phone rebooted to black/blank screen, tried several times but got nothing but black screen, I rebooted to recovery again wipe cache/dalvik, again nothing but black screen, will try reflashing

--reflash did not help, black screen :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Probably a bad media file you got somewhere. Gallery is working just shine for me with o reboots or bsods.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
:good: glad to hear, i will empty out media files first then retry, thanks

*update*

I deleted media files but also realized after the fact that my recovery CWMR Touch Sk8er version may have also been the culprit, after doing a little spring cleaning of files and stray folders, I installed latest twrp via ODIN. I reflashed per OP instructions... I am now all good running liquid buttery smooth, and gallery works of course.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] baddgoat:
Not that this is that big of a deal and all, but the boot animation on my SR for this ROM is a little off. It's too big for the screen. All you can see is "quidsmoot". But, otherwise this ROM is awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] jondroid2:
Known issue. Posted under"bugs" in the op.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
Updated boot animation

It bothered me, too, so I have adjusted the boot animation for the Skyrocket. You can download it at http://www.2shared.com/file/gnYGr8Kd/BootAnimLiqSmooth.html

This is a flashable zip file, or you can extract the boot animation and push it into your /data/local/ or /system/media folders in the root of your Skyrocket.

LiquidSmooth looks so much better than quid smoot. :)

Installing problems

I downloaded the rom and gapps in firefox and placed in sd card. Using the latest twrp recovery I installed rom. It failed. Since I had this problem before with downloads, I extracted the rom with 7zip to another folder, rezipped it again and put it back on sd card. This time it was successful. Did same with gapps. Everything worked fine. Google updated and downloaded data from playstore and cloud. Everything looked great. I rebooted the phone, and got a blank screen. After 15 minutes I rebooted into recovery. Because everything had worked so well initially, I backed up what I had already before doing anything else. Then I rebooted the phone to see if it would start up normally. It did NOT. Then, I restored the same rom from the backup I just made, and it started up normally to my surprise. Anybody know why this happens? And how can I get this too work without all the extra steps? I've only done this on 1 computer so I don't know if the same thing would happen using a different one. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
What recovery are you on?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
I was using the latest twrp recovery, which was 2630. I mistakenly thought the newest was the best. I did install 2610 to see if it made a difference, and lo and behold, it worked like a charm. I guess I should have followed your advice to use 2610, but you also used the words "latest TWRP". So I assumed the 2630 came out after you printed the instructions. Thanks for all your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chairsz:
Having the same kinda prob flashing this on twrp 2610 and 2630 even tried cwr toucch 6033 all clean installs aint none flashed this the error said something about radio

Do i need a 4.3 radio to flash this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
Yes. For all JB Roms you need to use a JB radio.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chairsz:
Im runnng 4.1.2 vincoms stockish rogers rom i still need a 4.3 radio?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
UCMC1 for at&t, I don't know the one for T-Mobile or Roger's, but a bit of searching will do you well sir.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
Rom updated!!

LiquidSmooth v 2.10
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chairsz:
in the sticky section there snt a radio for android 4.3, when i search i cant find one beyond 4.1.2, what am i missing here. i even tried flashing a android 4.1 JB rom and twrp still gave me a error about radio.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
I never said anything about a 4.3 radio. I said JB radio. The latest JB radio is from 4.1.2

The latest is UCMC1

The one I use is from official roger UXUMA7

Both those radios will work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] bps119:
Weren't we on version 3 last update? What's up with their version numbering system?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EQ811977:
From Liquid Smooth " We have decided instead of a 3.0 release that we are going to do a 2.10 release instead, this release will be 100% stable and will be 4.3 JLS36G based (Newest Android). If you tried the 3.0 beta's you will notice that some features are missing from the 2.10, and that is true it does not have HALO 2.0, The Listview animations, and Active Display. Those features will be in the 3.0 Release which will either be after everything is fixed or Android 4.4 Kit Kat. Which ever one comes first."
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
For some unknown reason, I have to download files on Firefox browser rather than Windows Internet Explorer or Google Chrome or they won't work. Also I have been finding if I extract the zip file with 7zip and then rezip it with 7zip, it seems to work. Lastly I reformat an sd card and place the rezipped rom file,and gapps file on it, insert that into the sd slot on the phone, enter recovery and then install. This trial and error method seems to work for me. Anybody else have routine that works?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] catchjeff:
Is it just me or does anyone elses camera out of focus and will not focus correctly? Everything is a blur with the camera pictures.

edit

Just found out I had goop on the lens. My bad
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
How is v2.10 running for some y'all? I installed a couple times properly and it would not run as smooth as v3.0, I went back to 3.0 and phone is buttery again. I kept getting intermittent playstore errors, settings would close when installing keyboard app, and the theme i was using before on v3 would not even install on v2.10.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
Play store also shuts down from time to time, and Bluetooth spontaneously closes, and won't reopen without rebooting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
I use Firefox as well, Chrome will never be on my computer, but since my wireless connection is sometimes a little flaky, I've gotten errors in downloading even with Firefox from time to time. Get Free Download Manager. It's...uh...free, and it accurately supports resuming downloads if you get an interruption.

Back on topic, I'm curious--I noticed ossito2012 posted some concerns about the 9/30 update. I've been off LiquidSmooth trying another ROM since about the time the update came out, but decided to come back to Liquid. I'm hesitant, though, to load the update if it's causing problems. Anyone have any further input?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
Not sure if anybody had probs with v2.10 like me, but I can say for sure that v3.0 runs great for me, battery drains super slow and charges fast, bluetooth does work but like most roms 4.2.2 and 4.3 it causes funky behavior until phone rebooted, not enough to bother me really.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] chinoboy:
First of all, I wanted to say thanks for the ROM. It's pretty amazing to have JB 4.3 on an S2.

Secondly, not really sure if this is a bug, but is anyone else here getting a bunch of FC dialogs? I'll be on the phone and suddenly I'll get a bunch of pop-ups saying that a bunch of apps had to close (Y!mail, GPlay, apps.google, etc), some of which I didn't even have open. It's not really a big deal, since I can just open them up again with no issues, but just wondering if anyone else on here has this issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] v3ngence:
Just installed v3.0 because it sounds like it's more stable.

On first boot, did anyone else have the zoomed in boot anitmation so that it only says "quid smoot" lol!

EDIT: Found out quite a few people knew about the boot
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
Not sure which version you installed but if you did v2.10, i would say give the v3.0 a shot, I got the same behavior from v2.10.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
I also had problems with the v2.10 (I went ahead and installed despite your previous post), but after about 24 hours, the problem seems to have pretty well ironed itself out. No fc's today.

I also noticed a little bit of lag when scrolling through some of the longer dialogs, but when I compare this version of the ROM with the previous release, the addition of Active Display in this edition, as well as the slick transitions that have been added...well, I've decided that unless something really serious happens, I'm gonna stick with this one. (I am keeping my previous backup on my card, though...just in case ;) )

Oh, and one other thing, the v2.10 seems to have lost the 8-target sliders on the lock screen. You can activate 8 targets, but only 5 are available. This certainly isn't a deal-breaker for me, since 5 has been the standard until recently. I'll just wait until the next release fixes the issue.

Edit October 9: Oops, it looks like I spoke too soon. After getting a couple of "Unfortunately gapps has stopped responding" which I ignored because I used a non-standard gapps, while working with the system vigorously today, I started getting a "Unfortunately system UI has stopped responding" periodically every few seconds. I tried wiping cache and davlik cache, no luck, the problem continued, so I again wiped the two caches and semi-dirty-flashed the ROM, but the problem was still there. I am in the process of re-flashing the ROM completely, I'm at the settling-down boot (before flashing gapps), and the problem seems to have been corrected. I will continue to use this version of the ROM, since I'm in the process of creating a video about it, and I will update if the problem recurs.

Because "Active Display," "Listview Animation," "Listview Interpolator," "Glowpad Torch," and "Menu Visibility" under Pie Controls, plus some "Sound Modes" under Quick Settings seems to be the only additions in this version, if the problem recurs I may end up going back to the 3.0 version. Will advise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] WARRENFRALEIGH:
Active Display

Within 1 hour of activating Active Display I was getting random reboots. Anybody else having this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] ossito2012:
I gave up on 2.10, It seems SkyRocket reaching end of days, so little chatter these days in forums about ROMs. LiquidSmooth included :(, but fortunately Nexus 5 right around the corner.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] v3ngence:
Yeah I've been running 3.0 without any problems, just the common bluetooth hiccups.

I'm thinking of upgrading too, the Note 3 is tempting, but I'm holding out for the GS5 I just hope they don't screw up an aluminum body...

This is the first time I would consider an old phone still usable, I might give my skyrocket to my mom (who still has a clamshell)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
As I mentioned earlier, I experienced some hiccups with 2.10 as well. I detailed the problems in an earlier post.

Well, it seems that I've solved the problems. Since most of the issues revolved around google apps, with occasional fc's, I finally decided to shop around and see if anybody else had had problems as well.

Sure enough, I located a newer, I think private, set of gapps on this forum. Do a search on PA Gapps. You can even load it without going through a full install, the instructions are provided on the thread.

Loaded last night and...(sitting here with fingers crossed)...it seems to have taken care of the problem. Haven't experienced a single fc since then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
Updated!

Android 4.3.1

Liquidsmooth 2.25

I have flashed this on my device but have not completely tested everything. Let me know how it is.

Thanks, Toyes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dandydon414:
just flashed. I will keep you posted. two things I see. can't turn off NFC, it's grayed out. Same for charge bar animation but I can't turn that on
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] EQ811977:
Nfc not grayed out here..can turn it on or off. Running great! Thanks Toyes!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
This is why

You're gonna have to stop this. How am I supposed to feed my flashing-habit if my current ROM is the best? I try another ROM, find it wanting in some way, and immediately restore my LiquidSmooth backup.

Loaded this yesterday along with PA-Gapps, and so far haven't had any problems, although I haven't given it any real hard trials yet.

Look what's been added: Animation Controls. Everyone must try this out. No, it doesn't improve the operation of your device--but it sure makes transitions much slicker.

I haven't explored in detail what else has been added, but I'll try to get to that this weekend, time permitting.

Thanks for this update!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] dandydon414:
maybe it has something to do with no sim card inserted. I just recently picked up this phone to use in south america and the sim card, since it kept searching for service, was draining the battery severely. I took it out, since I really don't need it, and the battery is much improved. I'll reinsert it to see if that's that allows me to turn off NFC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] raj3366:
USB fast charge?

This is a wonderfully smooth ROM with best battery results for my usage pattern. Thanks toyes for your hard work.

I am curious whether this ROM(/kernel) supports USB fast charge? I am so used it and can't bear the speed of slow charging speed :) I searched and could not find any in settings. I was looking to install some apps but they were mentioned that it would work only if the kernel supports it. So this question here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilsonmd:
Hi friend!

GRREAT ROM! Thanks so much for this! I have a little problem with a eternal bootloop. When i flash wait about 10 min without any config, only fill the apn and press reboot button, never start again :( As i said, i did never coment but, IM RREALLY IMPRESIONATE with this rom! Congratz!!

Pd, TWRP 2630, i come from a mohan stock rom embryo 7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
2nd boot can take a long time. Wait 10-15mins and see if it boots up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] wilsonmd:
THANK TOYES!

ITS RESOLVE! I told you, this is the most stable, smooth and reliable CM cooked ROM what I saw in this forum (for me of coarse). Congratz and in few days i gonna donate you.

Hug for u my friend!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] smalis:
Have to agree, this is a great ROM! No glitches, although I did change governor to ondemand to eliminate some lag immediately after waking the phone.

Love the navbar at half height - great for using the phone in the dark (reading in bed, for example), as I do not like the annoyingly bright hard key backlights (always turned off now). Also nice to have a kill app button. Nav Ring also very useful for quick access to favorite apps and last app function.

3 Questions:

1. OK to use Moretz (for OC)?

2. Hardware key settings let me assign Widgets Viewpager to a key, but I cannot find where in Settings to add widgets to the Viewpager.

3. Playing with Active Display. Is it supposed to come on when I move the phone, or only based on the Redisplay Notifications setting?

Thanks, Toyes - donation given 4UK55667T1087463P!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
Thanks!!

1. If you want to use a different kernel I would recommend UBER kernel by [MENTION=5105835]Cl3Kener[/MENTION] found here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2462285 as it is kept more up to date. I do believe carvsdriver has not updated Moretz source in awhile.

2. 3. I really don't know. I don't use my skyrocket as a daily driver so I don't know where/what all the features in this rom do. I used Active Display for a bit but I never had it come on by moving the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] smalis:
Looks like there is supposed to be a "widgets viewpager" entry on the "setting/interface" page, which would let you add widgets to the viewpager (the viewpager comes up from the bottom of the screen with widgets when activated by a hardware button).

I have attached screenshots from wantowan2's Beanstalk ROM that show the settings pages.

In Liquid, I can set a hardware button to activate the viewpager, and it does open, but with no widgets, as the ROM seems to lack the module for adding the widgets to the viewpager.

Can the ability to add widgets to the viewpager be added to the ROM?

Edit- Kernel in OP of uber thread will not work with 4.3.1, but newer version at http://d-h.st/VOc does work.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] v3ngence:
The best modern ROM for GS2!

Fast, stable AND good battery life???

:good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Justin Thought:
I guess it's true, a quiet thread is a problem-free thread.

I keep trying other ROMs, and each time, I go, "Naaaah, it doesn't have (fill in the blank) like LiquidSmooth."

Anybody know of any rumors of a LiquidSmooth KitKat for the Skyrocket? I did several searches, no response, so just askin'.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] toyes:
Been working on it yes. Was close to a complete build yesterday. Source is still being updated so it might be awhile yet.
