Hi,

From my experience, this ROM is the best of all of those available for the Bacon.

I like the way items are organized: it simple, rational and clean.

Also, all the features I need are there : hard NavBar customization ; soft NavBar customization ; PowerMenu config ; App Circle ; Heads Up...

But of course, sadly, everything is not perfect :

- Lens Blur : OK, it doesn't work, but I don't care, I don't use it ;

- Google Now : same as Lens Blur...

BUT :

- sometimes, my Bacon simply reboots on me :( It happens randomly and rather seldom, so not a great worry ;

- I've had a message saying "No APN configured on this device" ;

- the Wi-FI AP isn't always working

No GPS problems here whatsoever...

And as I am trying to build my own LS with 4.7 toolchain to some fixes (obviously, those problems are all related to the fact that a toolchain beyond 4.7 is used) I always end up with a .zip that does not boot.

So if someone could tell how to set-up the ./build-liquid.sh options to have something that works, I'll gladly try it...

Regards.

I agree it's one of best roms. It runs very smoothly, good battery live and many customizations not available on other roms. However, there are some annoying issues, already mentioned above. If they fix them, it will be the best rom I tested.

I don't really need lens blur and google now too. But gps bug is not acceptable.
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi Giaur,

Totally agree on this.

But so far, I must say that I did not experienced any GPS issues.

GPS fixes rather fast (about 8 - 10 seconds) and then sticks to the satellite connection.

I also have a Nexus 5. It had BIG GPS ISSUES. Since I installed LiquidSmooth on that one, they seem to have gone !

So I have high hopes for the Bacon and really hope I will not run into any problems with GPS.

I can live with some bugs, but I use GPS on a daily basis... not to know where to go, but to outsmart trafic with Waze and outsmart speed control with iCoyote (a french app that works in France only I believe).

If the dev/maintainer would be so kind to show up and give me a hint on how to set up the build config I will try to compile with other tools.

QUESTION / Has anyone tried to use this with another Kernel (AX ; Franco ; Boeffla...) to see if that fixes the issues ?

If not I can try it...

Regards
[ONE Android Development] giaur:
It looks like in your case agps doesn't even work. With agps it should be 2-3 seconds. I noticed, that without agps (first fix after erasing agps data) gps fix takes 8-9 seconds and all works. But after put phone to sleep and try again in a few minutes: time to fix is 2-3 seconds (as should, from cached agps data). And then gps stops working, no position update on move, no satellites signal refhreshing (you can tests it using gps test app from playstore). I need to clear agps data (using gps test program), restart all apps accesing gps, wait 8-9 seconds for fix.

Did you test it carefully?
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Well, so far I've encountered no problems.

And I must say that I'd rather have a GPS that fixes in 8 seconds and then does not disconnect or stops to respond, than have one that fixes in 2-3 seconds and then stops working.

I'll test that more carefully.

But I will not install GPS Test and refresh A-GPS.

If it works, why fix it ?

And as I said... I don't care if it fixes in 8 seconds instead of 3 as long as, once fixed, it does not loose connection.

BTW : I use it in Device Mode only...
[ONE Android Development] xxesetikxx:
Is there chzech ?
[ONE Android Development] giaur:
If you don't have installed any program for gps testing, use google maps, wait for, zoom map and start walking, you probably will notice that your position is not updating on map. Or install gps test and look at signal strength bar for each satetlite and you will notice signal info is not updating any longer after fix.

Now I'm going to leave this rom, because of gps. Shame, because it is really good but I need gps.
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Well, I have to go a little around today : a little highway and some town driving.

Will of course test GPS... without any utility.

I use Waze... and as soon as I don't have anysignal it displays "GPS signal lost" and does not display speed anymore... and of course does not refresh the map and position.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Regards.

[EDIT : if you want to leave this ROM, I suggest you take a look at SlimROMs. Nice one. Not as many features as LS and I think a little less well organized, but definitely a way to go. I even think that, in the beginning, LS was a fork of Slim]

[EDIT 2 ] Just managed to get a functional build of this for the Grouper. I'm copiling this one with another Toolchain. If you're interested, I'll give you that one after I've tested it for a little while...]
[ONE Android Development] giaur:
@ Red Deer also comfirmed the same issue with gps, so I'm not alone. So it's either caused by some app we both have installed or bug in this rom. I had the same issue on Cyan Hacker (it's actually the same as Liquid Smooth). But never on MoKee or CM.

I'm considering now to test newest MoKee, I used it some time ago without any issues: gps, google now, skype, lens blur, everythig was ok.
[ONE Android Development] Michuta:
DId anyone else have a graphic glitches?
[ONE Android Development] sabbotage:
Looks like the 10-14 build got pulled for some reason anyway. Maybe the issues stated above are why? I'm still having the issue where chrome beta only opens in floating window whether you have floating window turned off or not.
[ONE Android Development] latenightchameleon:
Chrome in floating windows is an issue with pretty much every custom ROM, try disabling and re-enabling from apps or rolling back if that doesn't help.
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi to all,

Well, maybe I am lucky but experience absolutely NO PROBLEMS with the GPS.

I can now confirm that.

Fix in about 7 - 10 seconds for the first time. Then no disconnections. And, after getting out of a tunnel (where I obviously lost the GPS) it reconnects within 2 or 3 seconds.

First I got to my mother's home : about 30 minutes trip with 8km under a tunnel. No problem to reconnect after getting out of tunnel.

Then stay at my mother's home : phone has been put to sleep.

Then got my mother to the railway station. About 1 hour trip. GPS reconnects almost immediatly (5-6 seconds)... but 2 disconnections in the first minute, and then no problem. We were in the middle of Paris, France, between some high buildings where I guess the signal is not at it's upper ease.

Then from the railway station to my home : 50 minutes trip. No problem AT ALL. Immediate (2-3 seconds) fix and absolutely NO DISCONNECTIONS.

So maybe I'm lucky... I have installed no GPS tweaking crap... that usually just makes things work.

GPS is set to "Device only".

AND MOST IMPORTANT : I have manually set my time zone...

The only real glitch I experience is really particular.

It concerns Heads Up.

When I'm driving, my phone sits in a dock from my car radio. It connects to the car radio with Bluetooth. And the car radio allows me to take a phone call. So, if I get a phone call and answer using the phones button to take the call, then the heads up notification doesn't understand and that produces a phoneui crash...

Think I can live with that.

MOKEE : tried it. Customization of NaVBar does not suit my needs !

TO THE DEV : there really seems to be a problem in the sources or build script. I always end up with a .zip file, but with this message : error: in `forall -pc git log --oneline --no-merges --after=$After_Date --until=$Until_Date`: revision cm-11.0 in proprietary_vendor_oppo not found

Guess that refers to a branch that does not exist... but I checked and the branch is there :(

Of course I repo synched right before I started to build.

The result is : get a .zip file but that does not boot the phone :(

I used the same settings that allowed me to build a Liquid for grouper without a problem.

Regards.

Awesome. Another fellow Oneplus owner from Red Deer!

Sent from my Oneplus One ...mmmm... bacon.
[ONE Android Development] giaur:
Yes, just now first time. Regarding to gps, I will test other roms with the same apps installed. Maybe it's caused by some app I installed.
[ONE Android Development] scott62185:
Tons of people having graphics glitches on numerous roms and it's been stated (by kernel devs and others) that it's a CyanogenMod issue and it's been reported and they're working on it.

The 10-15 is gone as well...

Have it installed though. Works just fine for me.

Hi,

All those looking for Lens Blur to work : I have compiled a LS 3.2 with the Linaro Toolchain instead of the SaberMod toolchain and it seems to work. I was able to shoot at least 7 or 8 lens Blurred pictures in a row, when the app always quitted upon the 3d attempt (max) with the SM toolchain.

The LS Team has been kind enough to allow me to offer it... and I would like to thank them all for that.

But to be on par on the ROM reputation, I will need another day or so to test it to make sure I don't deliver something buggy.

If you're interested, I'll post a link to that ROM.

Regards.
[ONE Android Development] gordon.shameway:
That would be great! Do you include the latest wifi drivers, so that the latest custom kernels like ak work with it?

Thanks for your work!
[ONE Android Development] dacornholio:
Great ROM as always! One bug i found so far is with the lock screen notifications, it bypass gesture lockscreen. Going back to pattern for now. Sorry if its been answered.
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Can try to do that.

What kernels are the actual drivers not working with ?

Regards.
[ONE Android Development] husky69:
Since installing LS Chrome browser always starts kinda like in a window.

How can I get rid of that?
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Think you just have to click the arrow that shows up and it should be settled.

At least I think that's what I did.

Regards.
[ONE Android Development] husky69:
Solves Problem for this time - but the floating window returns next time I fire up the browser.

Is there a way to switch it off permanently?
[ONE Android Development] gordon.shameway:
AK-Kernel. He states in his OP, that only roms released after 14.10 will work properly with his updated kernel, as he included updated wifi drivers. Would be really nice if you can have a look into that. Thanks for your efforts!

Regards
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Well, I installed the AK-Kernel on my own build and it booted and connected to Wi-Fi.

Updating after first launch was somewhat slow but that's probably because I switched to ART instead of Dalvik.

Will let you know as I play a little more time with this :)
[ONE Android Development] gordon.shameway:
Thats great news! Waiting eagerly for your build!
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Well, if you feel adventurous, here's the link to my ROM :

Don't know how often I can build. I have tried to build another but have had no luck in synching repositories.

Seems LS is doing pretty much work on their sources...

just a quick question if i flash this ROM will it remove the bugs that come with the stock OPO ROM?
[ONE Android Development] gordon.shameway:
Which bugs do you mean?
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
+1
[ONE Android Development] tohno:
for me

bugs like

1.Random reboots ( occurs like once a day or every 2 days )

2.Ghost gestures during pinch zoom ( the whole zoom fucntion will go mad )

3 . Youtube unable to play , not sure if youtube's issue or OPO's software but will be resolved once i restart

these 3 bugs
[ONE Android Development] gordon.shameway:
Never experienced that, all working fine here.
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Well, I have had some random reboots but not lately...

I don't experience those ghost gestures since a long time now.

YouTube plays fine here...

SO you should be able to go :)

FC with Maps

I get a GPS lock with Maps quickly; I get an FC when choosing an address for Directions. This happens when I am connected to LTE, if I have WiFI it is okay. I have the latest 10-21 build with Franco R27. GPS high accuracy is enabled.

How is battery life compared to stock CM11s ?
[ONE Android Development] asem:
Really happy with this rom. stable and has everything I can wish for in a ROM. just waiting to see if it will connect to my work's secure WiFi when I get back to work, as I haven't been able to connect except with the gummy rom.. hopefully this one will also connect ?
[ONE Android Development] armand09265:
This rom is amazing, for sure one or the best roms out for this phone :D

I tried a lot of them from pa to madhi, crdroid, calculink's etc but this one (even if i think that stock battery life is better) is definitly different in a good way by a lot of features coming from aosp etc

I wanted an aosp-based rom for the opo with customization, a decent "custom" battery life and smoothness. This seems to be good, even better than gummy because less bugs in my case, it will be probably my DD if all works fine in a long way !

I have one question (i maybe must post this one in the dedicated thread) : Does ak kernel works good with this rom ?

I know it's a cm/aosp kernel and that i can test with a backup but i say this because in gummy witch was aosp-based too it didn't work and stuck on boot, even flashed in a clean way..

Thanks for this promising work, i'm looking forward to your news and already running it ;)

thanks that was everything i wanted to know :D
[ONE Android Development] Tergon:
I have been a very long time user of this ROM, it will get better I am quite sure, but as it is right now. Not quite right there seems to be hesitation and a little overall jerkyness to the ROM, with or without the stock kernel. I will use slim until the bugs are ironed out.
[ONE Android Development] digweed4me:
when will ci3 kernel(uber) will be baked into this rom?
[ONE Android Development] xTremePower:

Guys, the only working method I could make to disable hw keys, is by adding a checkbox in Settings > Advanced > Device. Then you need to disable buttons backlight in Settings > Navigation > Hardware keys set it to 0

[ONE Android Development] latenightchameleon:
Yeah, same here. For example scrolling in settings feels laggy, esp noticable after applying theme chooser themes. Will def try again in a couple of weeks.
[ONE Android Development] ongchonghian:
Yes. I second armand opinion. In terms of battery life, stock cm11 seems to be the best bang for the juice. However, it lacked features like halo, lock screen notification, app circle (omni switch is still my preferred choice), which are functions which I couldn't live without. Liquid smooth for bacon, is by far the most stable and feature packed custom Rom; I have tried crdroid v2, pa, similar, and none of them are comparable if you take features AND stability into considerations IMHO

[ONE Android Development] MyDarkThrone:
If you use de LiquidLauncher in home screen press menu key,settings and "click" in show search bar to turn off it.

If you use GNL,like me, use Xposed with XposedGEL module. XposedGEL is avaliable on Playstore

[ONE Android Development] armand09265:
Totally agree with you.

Cm11s is the best plan on battery, it's almost a shame that such a great rom doesn't have a battery life as good as it.

I have to say that with all the devices i rooted (s3, htc one), i had the same feeling ; it's really strange imho that custom roms in my case didn't improve battery life, i always flashed correctly and i'm really questionning myself about that.

All tips etc for battery life are appreciated, if there is a way to improve all of that i'm in totally, from devs or members.

To come back to the one, LS is defintily awesome as you say, it's stable and full of features, except of battery life it's really something more interesting than cm imho. I'm questionning etc if all of this worth the try as the battery life is an important point but seriously even if it's the only bad point i would stuck on this as it's full of interesting things, improving and doing more things on this device.

[ONE Android Development] Fulbring:
AWESOME! Finally this ROM is complete!
[ONE Android Development] torontomark:
Hi, just throwing my two cents in... since the early days of Samsung phones being transformed into really amazing devices by custom ROM's, the main Achilles heel has always been the battery. Most (and I am not trying to suggest Liquid) developers are interested in making said ROM just work well for performance and features. Battery longevity is not the primary focus, nor should it be as they are developing race cars and not battery sippers...

So, if the CM original works well, has the battery longevity you need and you can just add what you need with xposed, then that is probably your best bet.

For the record, I am also questioning all of it myself :) I loaded Liquid onto my phone as I had it longer than most other ROM on my Nexus 5

thx for a nice ROM

Try using the kernel that comes with the ROM. You can also try the Sensei kernel. I'm running the the 10-11 build with Sensei R65 and it's working just fine. No GPS issues at all.

How do I remove that left and right arrow in the navi?? looked everywhere can't find it. It only comes up when typing...
[ONE Android Development] husky69:
Maybe they are the cursor keys? I prefer a different keyboard, but that's my best guess.
[ONE Android Development] tohno:
thanks for the reply

did you meant that the problems disappear after changing the ROM or with stock CM11s?
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Can't tell really. I'm trying to remember how long CM11 lasted on my Bacon and I don't think that, putting it all together (original CM = restore after wrong flashing) it stayed there for more than 1 hour...

But those little bugs I mention did appear with other ROMs but I experienced them once or twice and then they vanished.

Regards.

BTW : building a new version of the stripped down ROM for those who wants it. If someone took the file linked above and tried it, I'd gladly get his feedback on this.
[ONE Android Development] dannieloco:
I haven't been able to find the way to remove those arrows either... just having to live with it. :confused:
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

You can disable them. Here's how :)

Go to "Settings" and select "Language & Input"...

In the "Keyboard & Input Method" you should be able to see an item called "Advanced options". Click that.

On the next screen, you will see, at the bottom, the item called : "Volume key cursor control". Click it.

Select one of the two options that are not "Disabled".

Voilà... Those arrow keys have vanished.

Hope this helped... if so please hit "thanks" :)

Dirty flash? 10/23 is working great for me on a clean install
[ONE Android Development] mmcneil:
LS 10/21 build is working great for me with AK68. You "might" want to try switching to a different recovery; ie. Philz Touch, CWM, etc. I was using TWRP 2.7.X and it was working fine until I tried flashing LS 10/21, that's when I started having hardware issues. I switched to a different recovery, did a clean flash and everything was working.
[ONE Android Development] NexusPenguin:
Hi,

Weird...

I assume you did so already, but here's the first thing I'd do : go to "Settings => LiquidSmooth => Navigation Bar => Hardware buttons".

Check that the "Allow custom actions" is checked.

If it is, check that the action for the default "Back" and "Menu" button is not set to "None".

Might do the trick :)

Regards.
