***NEW BUILD POSTED***

OP has been updated with the most recent build (9/29)

Same rules and changelog info as the last builds.

Sorry I haven't had much time recently to go through this and my other builds to do some more tweaking and device specific work. Between getting ready to try to go back to school and dealing with kids being sick and so on, I just haven't had the time. Hopefully that changes soon.

Happy flashing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
Just FYI: There will not be a build coming next week. May not be one the week after either.

My son is having surgery next week and I will be at the hospital for some tests and scans the days afterwards. Having any builds immediately following will all depend on the results of said scans.

Thank you to all who have downloaded and tested and/or run these builds. I hope to be straightened out and back to it very soon.

Hey, I hope that everything go well with your son!

I want to report that I REALLY LOVE THIS ROM! I never thought on leaving Carbon cause I thought that it was the best. But the features on this ROM are awesome! Really appreciate your work on this roms, keep up!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
Thank you everyone for the well wishes. My son is doing just fine. He was a champ and is already back to school today. I'm going to try my best to sync up and push a build out over the weekend. I have a bunch of stuff going on for me next week so builds would be hard to get done. But I want to get something to you so hopefully Saturday or Sunday that will happen.

New build is running now. Ran into a lot of problems getting it going since I had lost my source code last week. (Note to self: Don't mess with the inner workings of Ubuntu if you don't need to. Also: BACKUP YOUR CODE!!!)

***NEW BUILD POSTED***

ALRIGHTY!!! A new build has FINALLY been posted. Had a few setbacks getting it to build, but it finally succeeded. I tested it out very briefly and all seems to be working okay. Let me know if you encounter any issues.

Dirty flash for upgrading should be okay. ALWAYS clean flash if coming from anything else.

As always, happy flashing!

And thank you very much for your work and effort on keeping this phone alive!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
You'll have to just check the gerrit linked in the OP. They don't really do a changelog and I haven't figured out yet how to generate one myself during a build. Something I am going to work on though.

Wow! Definitely the latest build has some improvements. The rom is running more smoothly since I flash it. The major issue (for me) is that you can't turn off back light for the buttons through the rom settings. If I were using Shift kernel, via stweaks I had that options but I'm using stock kernel (for testing, seems pretty good to me) so I can't turn it off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:

***NEW BUILD POSTED***

Okie dokie folks. New build is done, uploaded, and available for download. OP has been updated to link to the newest build (1021). I think (but can't be certain) that I fixed the backlight options not working in Settings. If not, I know what it is and will get it fixed on the next build.

Dirty flash should be okay if you are just updating. CLEAN FLASH ALWAYS if coming from any other rom.

Next week's build should see some improvements in speed in smoothness (fingers crossed).

If you want to see what has changed then check out the gerrit for LS linked in the OP. I know there were a lot of Camera changes and fixes as well as changes in the framework base. If you run into any issues, just let me know.

***HEY HEY!! GUESS WHAT?? YUP, THERE'S A NEW BUILD POSTED!***

Okay folks. New build has been posted and the OP has been changed with the latest build link.

You will notice something different. The name of the file is "3.2 Milestone". For an explanation on this, see this post from Sean Hoyt. In other words, this has hit the point they feel it was fit to have the name "Milestone". The use of the term "Official" was dropped, and the G+ post explains that.

Another point to note. If you look at LiquidSmooth on Github or their Gerrit, you will notice a new branch. And yes, it is Android 5.0 "Lollipop". What does this mean? Well, it simply means the LS team has started the work on merging 5.0 and starting on the next leg of the journey. I'm sure there will still be support for the KK branch for now. I have no intention on trying to merge the 5.0 branch myself yet until they have something decently stable running. In other words, yes, Lollipop is coming (hopefully) but don't get too excited just yet.

That's all for now. Happy Flashing!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
Don't lie to them, they can get excited. Slim already merging as well. CM however hasn't started to my knowledge. One thing to note tho, don't expect lollipop aosp to devices unsupported by official Google until 2015 tho
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
That's why I said not to get TOO excited lol. Omni has a booting 5.0 build right now. But that of course is on a Nexus device. I won't even think about it for this one until the S3 at least has a decent L build. And especially the i9100 if they keep support for it.

Hi,

I'm trying out this ROM and love it so far. Everything works good.

I did notice a minor bug, not sure if anyone else has seen it:

Every reboot or power-on I get a notification to select a keyboard layout.

Has anyone else noticed this and is there a work around or fix?

Thanks!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
Ah yes. That infamous bug. Thanks for pointing it back out. There's a commit there to fix it, but I forgot to pull it during the last compilation.

Hey guys. Been out of the flashing scene for a while but it's time. My concerns are A) I'm out of practice, and B) I'm coming from such an older ROM. After doing a bunch of reading, I'm leaning towards this ROM (LiquidSmooth).

I'm currently on a 4.2.2 custom ROM with a CWM 6.0.1.2 recovery. I understand I need a minimum of CWM 6.0.4.3 to flash LiquidSmooth. I also understand that I can get the newer CWM by flashing Shift kernel as apparently it'll update the recovery as well. What I am not clear on is whether I can just go ahead and install the current Shift kernel into the 4.2.2 ROM I have now. And if I cannot install the latest Shift kernel, what version of Shift I need to use for an Android 4.2.2 ROM (I see a lot of older versions available).

To get the proper Gapps after flashing the ROM, I assume I can grab it here?

Some initial guidance in this as it applies to my situation would be greatly appreciated. I really need to not fsck this up. Thanks! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] david72262:
After you flash the kernel just immediately reboot into recovery then flash your ROM and gapps
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] rogersb11:
You didn't say which rom you're running now. If it's cm 10.1 then shift JB kernel SHOULD work as a running kernel on that rom. Other's just do what's mentioned in the previous post
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] sremick:
I'm on the old Task AOKP ROM. Ancient, I know.

I'm comfortable doing what David suggested. In fact, as soon as he said it I had a deja-vu moment as I recall having to do the same thing at least once long ago. :)

I downloaded the "Shift-ETERNAL" edition of the kernel as that's the latest (11/1/2014). If I need to use an older one, just let me know. Just trying to get all my ducks in-order ahead of time. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
1) Flash Shift

2) Reboot recovery (should be Philz Touch)

3) Wipe Data/Factory Reset .. Wipe cache and dalvik.

4) Flash LiquidSmooth

5) Flash Gapps

6) Flash Shift again

7) Wipe Dalvik

8) Reboot system and enjoy!

It should be that easy. :)

Just thought I would update on the progress of LiquidSmooth. The last build I put out, the LS v3.2 Milestone will be the last KitKat based LS build. Development on KitKat has pretty much ceased for the time being it seems, and there's nothing new in the code that really has to be there, or is a required update.

I am currently working on getting LiquidSmooth v4.0 (Android Lollipop) built and running. Many thanks to [MENTION=5554845]rogersb11[/MENTION] for his help with getting our device tree updated and things in place so that this can become a reality. I hope to have an early alpha build out by the weekend or during the weekend. That being said though, don't get TOO excited yet. Even if it's out as an alpha, I don't want to release it until I've played with it extensively myself and made sure that basic things are running and I'm not going to risk anyone bricking because my build is that incomplete.

So that's where LiquidSmooth for the i777/959g stands right now.

I was noticing I couldn't get the nav key backlight to stay on constantly while the screen was on using STweaks (Shift kernel) despite seemingly having the settings correct. I figured it was a kernel thing so I posted in the Shift thread. They just informed me it's a LiquidSmooth issue. So of course I go to the prescribed location, only to discover what I think is the bug I quoted above. In "Navigation" under "Hardware Buttons" I click on "Backlight" and an empty box comes up with 3 buttons below it (Cancel, Reset, OK) so I can't change anything.

I'm on LiquidSmooth 3.2 "Milestone" using Shift-ETERNAL kernel.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TheGeekyNimrod:
I'm the one that posted where the settings were and I totally forgot that I knew about that bug. I feel stupid now. Let me see if I can figure out a solution to it. I don't have the full 3.2 source anymore, but I think I can create a zip that could be flashed to fix it.

Hello everyone,

Here's what I did in preparation to flash custom ROMs on my Xperia Z:

1) Root phone with towelroot

2) Backup TA partitions

3) Unlock bootloader (yes I have an unlockable bootloader)

4) Extract boot.img from custom rom and flash it

4) is where it fails. After I fastboot flash boot boot.img, the phone goes into a bootloop (pressing volume up when the purple led lights up does nothing). I've tried a number of custom ROMs with no luck (always starting from a fresh stock firmware).

Can someone please, please help me out here? I've spent the whole day trying to get it to work... :/

Use this to install recovery on your Z
