Hey Everyone!

Android 4.3 r3.1 was merged today and so I decided to build again. More bugs have been fixed as well. I hope to see commits more frequent now. (fingers crossed) So don't forget you can now download from http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=592 as well as goo.im

To clarify a few things, I think there are some common misconceptions regarding this ROM. If there were bugs so great that home button didn't work or my SMS didn't work I can assure you I would not post it unless I added a disclaimer. If you are experiencing these issues makes sure to try a different recovery. TWRP 2.6.3.0 has had quite a few bug submissions on github so maybe try 2.6.1.0 if you are having issues. If you are using 2.6.0.0 realize that this doesn't have SElinux support and LiquidSmooth requires SELinux support. You may have radio issues (ie text message not sending, you'll probably need to reflash your radio btw) or permissions issues if you don't use at least TWRP 2.6.1.0.

If you are still experiencing issues try reflashing or "clean" flashing if you are dirty flashing. If your battery life isn't very good make sure to install a battery monitor. If you have been dirty flashing you should be aware that kernel version 3.0.95 has new data policies so your old data you've kept from dirty flashing since beta2 or whatever MAY NOT SLEEP. The only solution is to CLEAN flash. Anything else will not work.

Make sure to try let your ROMs settle first and reboot/reflash them once or twice BEFORE you comment here. Most of the comments I've seen here lately could easily have been fixed by fixing permissions, reflashing, or simply waiting for 10 minutes after flashing for the ROM to settle before you started setting things up. I appreciate that you aren't afraid to post about these things you're experiencing but please make sure they are reproducible first, meaning if you flash the ROM three times you have the same issue all three times. In other words, why waste both your time and mine when maybe the first flash was just a fluke? Weird things have been known to happen that could never be reproduced again. If you do happen to find a "real" bug (after you're flashed it multiple times to verify) see if you can figure out either 1) what is causing it or 2) if you can fix it. That's the nature of this development section, to HELP the developer find real bugs and fix them not just complain or tell sad tales/experiences to one another. I have a google community for sad tales and complaints. Let's try to maintain a more developmentally oriented thread here please!

Thanks,

Cl3Kener

PS Thank you to all of you that are already pulling logcats and offering solutions/work arounds to bugs whether on this thread or by PM. I appreciate your contributions that have aided in making this ROM even better.

So guys how stable is 4.3? Wanna flash but need it somewhat stable? Can u guys give me the good and the bad?

One thing I just found but maybe just be me. When I try taking screenshot with either the power + vol down or the power menu it says it can't cause tge storage is being used. Ive even reboot to see if that fixed it but no.

I can understand new people asking questions & posting [this does not work] in here but the guys who have been exposed to dozens of ROMs have got to stop: do a little t/s little testing ...take it upon yourself to figure it out & for the love of God TRY the obvious: clean flash .let it settle ..reboots....etc. It is annoying as hell ...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DriftorX:
Nope. I have no idea. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] electricjesus:
I must say

BIG improvement

over the last build. The last build was unusable but this one works fantastic.

Issues with the network refreshing apps. google services constantly crashing, unable to take screenshot from power menu or buttons and random reboots. Besides that i have to say near perfect. still wish there was better support for notifications but cant complain.

Great job Cl3Kener.

I am 0n 9/21 build some how I dont have halo. I had it on the 9/12 and I enabled and have tried restarting. I fee like an uber newb now but I can;t figure this out.

I miss my halo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MovieGene:
Here's on odd one I think.

I wiped Everything! Installed 9/22 build, let it sit while I drove to work, then flashed gapps. After the gapps flash, I had 83Mb left is storage space.

Anyone have any ideas what's wrong? It doesn't make sense I would lose so my space.

I'm using TWRP 2.6.3

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] electricjesus:
which gapps are you using?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JesusWazBlack:
go in /data using rootexploerer and delete lost+found. TWRP 2.6.3.0 doesnt wipe data correctly
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MovieGene:
I tried with both slim gapps and regular gapps.

Just deleted that directory, I gained 647 MB, holy f*€¥£~{n s*=t batman.

Now time to reflash yesterday's update!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevew84:
Have people tried the Revolt ROM also? Curious which of these two is better, as far as battery life and over all stability.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] electricjesus:
JesusWazBlack is in reality a true savior
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] electricjesus:
I'm also interested in which one is faster/better stability/battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevew84:
Revolt seems to be really stable and I haven't had any "problems" with it. MMS goes thru on wifi and data just fine the ring tones and notifications seem louder than 4.2.2 roms, but maybe it's just me.

I do get high temps every now and then playing games or on youtube, and the battery life isn't great, but it's better than the first build, I think there are two now.

When I get home I'll give 4.3 black liquid a try and see whats what.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevew84:
No matter what I do, I can't get Gapps to stick with this ROM. I keep installing them but nothing happens.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Just curious why having a t989d might be an issue? Never has in the past. ;)

Sent from my cellular telephone
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevew84:
The only initial problem I had was for Gapps to stick during a fresh install...not sure why.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] radium22:
I had this problem before. Then I found out that the wipe feature in TWRP 2.6.1.0 and 2.6.3.0 never wiped/formated /system properly. So now after I wipe /system, /data, and /cache, I always connect to my computer and do these:

adb shell e2fsck -yfDC0 dev/block/mmcblk0p24

adb shell e2fsck -yfDC0 dev/block/mmcblk0p25

adb shell e2fsck -yfDC0 dev/block/mmcblk0p26

Then I flash ROM and GAPPS, and then reboot. Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] stevew84:
Hell ya thanks.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] DriftorX:
What do you suggest to do about number 5? I have use twrp 2.6.1.0 and 2.6.3.0 wiped, fixed permissions. And tried completely clean flash. I'm thinking one of my apps is causing it. But I can't think of any apps I use that uses my external SD other than my camera set as using it for photo or videos. Actually I think screen shot defaults internal SD for storage and can't be changed.

Running this ROM now. It works great, but halo doesn't pop out to display texts even though I have this option enabled. Any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] electricjesus:
yes! before i installed it i actually installed liquid smooth rc8 and rc9 just because i wanted to see if they worked any differently with twrp. Perhaps thats why? I dont think that actually did anything though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ghostman256:
i couldn't figure it out either... tried everything what other thread suggested.. I ended up trying out Revolt, Screenshot works with that rom. rom seems pretty stable.. I'll come back to blackliquid later.. it just doesn't like me right now.

Has anyone tried installing SuperSu on this lately?

I keep getting a stopped error, although it seems to be working.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Decimus Meridius:
I posted in another forum. But I was having massive issues with 4.3 I flashed it then I updated to Trwp 4.6.3 - that was the beginning of the end. Gapps was crashing, random apps going crazy it was a mess tried dirty and clean flashing to no avail.

I finally fixed my phone by going back to TWRP 4.6.1 IMO this is the ONLY version that will work with 4.3 (for some 4.6.3 works but not others)

once I had TWRP sorted out total clean flash of BLS and i used the gapps is the OP (Not Slim or inverted, I went basic so as to avoid any problems). Wiped Davlik, cache and fixed permissions and BAM!!!!! working ROM and im as happy as a pig in SH*t.

btw slightly off topic, ive been lurking these forums for about a year, never bothered registering finally had all these issues and figured i'd post here....OMG I felt like i was in jail- Cant post in this thread had to make 10 useful posts in general...argh...but in the end i fixed my phone by reading instead of posting. Hope this post helps someone. :)

Hey guys just wanted to let you know the highest pixel density i can go without crashing or bricking is 182.

I've decided to try out slim bean for a while extremely stable and fast but not as smooth and fluent. Battery life i would say is about the same MAYBE a little less. I will still keep tabs on this thread and probably come flash back to liquid soon because im such a huge liquid fanboy. Also if anyone can figure out how to get key light notification to work properly on 4.3 i will pay you.

Figured you guys would all know best in here: Is there a 4.3 ROM with wifi-calling at all for our phones? Because I cannot find one.

Just sucks because in both my houses I heavily rely on it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
No only touchwiz phones can do WiFi calling
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] demoncamber:
So there's no touchwiz based 4.3 roms yet? And will there ever be?

P.S. This rom is super sexy.

I'll run with this rom for a couple weeks and see how I do while living without wifi-calling.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
No, only touch wiz. And 4.3, like 4.2.2 will probably never have it.

And...only T-Mobile touchwiz. Telus based don't have it, cause we don't have that up here. ;)

Hey Everyone!

It looks like it has been quite the lazy past few days for Team Liquid. Not much happened. I decided to build again because I wanted you to have the kernel upgrade at least plus a few very minor changes here and there. I hope this next week is better and we see more update/features, if not I'll go make some of my own!

Anyhow,

Here is the new link http://xdaforums.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=711 The kernel is faster than ever with some of my latest additions to it!

Is anyone else having the problem where in Halo you can only delete all the notifications and not just 1 of them?

Im using black liquid 2.91
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] eL_MeXiCaNo:
Are you ever going to release a "Stable" version of this 4.3 rom? You know for people who aren't flashaholics and like stable stuff to stick with for extended periods of time.

Im running your stable 4.2.2 BL 2.91, have been running it for a while and it's awesome. I've been wanting to test out your 4.3 and other roms in your GOO.IM folder(s) but there is no real "stable" version that I could mess with for a while.

Is there any way to enable Mass Storage Mode instead of MTP? I don't like MTP, its slower to transfer stuff and PC takes longer to detect/show files on SD card.

Thanks for all the good work you do for this device. Soo many choices but so little time to try them out
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jahrule:
No mass storage that was deprecated awhile ago as far as I know. I don't think any 4.3 is stable at this point so you might have to sit tight for just a tad longer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Revolt seems pretty dang stable to me. Unless there's wonky stuff that I just haven't used yet?? ;)

Can't speak for black liquid ...I've only used 4.2.2.

I know comparing other roms in a rom thread is a no no.....but figured in this case it doesn't matter???? :)

When people call me and I use the in-line mic earphones, people can't hear me. I uninstalled AC!D sound mod and beats audio. Is that the reason why my mic doesn't work? The sound works flawless and I KNOW my mic isn't broken. I am using 4.2.2 by the way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilsaiful:
Can anyone help me please...?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Decimus Meridius:
ya, reflash rom. dont delete stuff if you dont know if it will mess things up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilsaiful:
And if you don't know the solution, don't make arrogant post. There's a reason why people delete apps from their phones, it's because they don't want/need it. Nowhere in the OP did it say that AC!D soundmod was needed for headphones to work. So PLEASE don't come in here acting like you know everything when you RECENTLY joined xda-dev.

On the other note... if acid sound mod/beats audio is needed for the headphones to work, if it's possible and not too much of a hassle, can anyone make these 2 apps into a flashable zip file? It would be greatly appreciated it. Thank you.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Decimus Meridius:
Actually, I thought i gave you a pretty good solution..... I wont stoop to your level by trying to insult you. If you reflash thus returning the apps to the original condition AND your mic works, you now know the problem was with deleting those apps. the next step would be to just remove one of them and see if you can replicate the problem. now if you flash the rom and the mic issue is still present, then you know know its another problem, not the apps you deleted. Does that make sense?

BTW, please dont relate my post count to my knowledge of Android, Roms, programming and debugging. I assure you there is no relation. I only recently joined to post about an issue after lurking for over a year. I would rather you relate the amount of thanks to post count ratio.....as I see some people with over a thousand posts and barely 5-10 thanks attributed, generally speaking it means they probably dont make useful posts.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] lilsaiful:
The solution you gave me is a last resort solution. Unlike others, I do not have time to reflash and trouble shoot every single option that might have caused a problem. What I DO know is that it stopped working after I deleted those 2 apps; which is why I asked for these 2 specific apps. Although I appreciate the help, it's not a viable option.

And I was not trying to insult you. If I did, I apologize. The way you went about "posting" the solution had arrogance written all over it (like for a computer repair: did you try rebooting the pc). I know what I am doing and I know how to troubleshoot. So yes I know reflashing the rom will make it work again but why go through reinstalling your whole OS when you need to reinstall 1 program?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
Titanium backup.....freeze apps first. Don't just uninstall them. Cause ya never know. If something goes whacky, defrost them. If after a week all is well....uninstall them if you wish, or leave them for the tiny bit of space difference.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jeremykersh:
reflashing the rom does NOT mean you have to completely reset all your apps you can flash the rom over your existing setup just dont do a full wipe. It will put back the missing files and keep everything you have (cache, delvik only) there is no need to put together a flashable zip for the two apps you removed ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] :
With all due respect....if you don't have a lot of time to tinker with your phone and just want it to work.....I'd flash or Odin the stock 4.1.2 and your good. ;)

I need stable and for a few other needs 4.2.2 and later don't meet....I broke down and flashed stock. And after some debloating and tweaking.....its smooth and rock solid.

I installed this ROM and I love it but I am having one odd issue. When I receive a text message I get the "System UI has stopped" message until I open the message, then it stops. It will continue popping up and the background disappears until the text message is opened.

I am running the 4.2.2 version and I installed it according to directions including using the recommended recovery. I did not wipe cache or dalvik after installation as it is not recommended and I have had boot loop issues with other 4.2.2 ROMS when doing this.
