[HTC One S] Rapier:
Well, even if it's not (yet) Android 5.1, LiquidSmooth still deserve it's name...smooth.

Some nice things added since we had last build, some visible, some others hidden under the hood. I'll try to enumerate some of them...

One of the major things to note, LiquidSmooth is now rebased to SlimLP. That means that is no longer based on CM12 sources and it's just picking from time to time (eventually) CM12 commits that the devs might find useful or suitable. As a consequence, some previous features are no longer available but might be added in the upcoming builds (rebase was done last week so it's been too early to add all the features back). So for now I'll list below some things that are missing and we got used with them from other ROMs:

- bye bye Theme Engine. As you may know, there is an alternative to CM's Theme Engine initially developed by Sony as RRO. Later on a group ov devs (BitSyko) extended it's functionality and improved it so it become...Layers. Several ROM devs announced that they moved from CM's Theme Engine to Layers saying this is better, offers more themeing options and it's more stable. They have a point indeed but I won't discuss here the pros/cons of Theme Engine vs. Layers. The fact is, Slim and LiquidSmooth have Layers instead of themes...and looks good. The good part is that a wrapper application has been added and integrated into settings, that makes applying/managing Layers more easily to the user. Is not yet as easy or straightforward as Theme Engine but things are improving (attached a screenshot). One of the advantages is that now themers can make aaa...layers...for different apps and you can apply them individually. Also this allows to combine parts of multiple themes and apply them individually over the same UI element or on different UI elements (say for ex you like the way dialer looks in one theme but you would like the notifications look as in another theme...you can do that and apply only the part you want). Enough with this, something should remain for you to explore too...

- no QS/notification settings customization, tile reordering, adding and so on... Might be added in the future but Slim is not a fan of "lots" of options so LS inherited that too

- no expanded volume panel

- no Live Display as it's a CM thing and it wasn't merged by LS/Slim yet

- the default root/superuser app lately found in all CM12 bassed roms is replaced by SuperSU (some might even like this)

On the other hand tho, there are a lot of useful options that we got used with like:

- status bar customization: battery bar, clock color/position/date/whatever...

- network speed in status bar

- weather info in notifications

- hardware button remapping (unlike Slim, LS has it)

- Ambient Display

- Adaptive Brightness

- AdBlocker

There are also some new things in it...I already told you about Layers, now there are some more:

- one of the nicest things I've noticed is the Performance entry in Settings. Apparently found in other ROMs too, I've tapped on it expecting the usual one or two options there related to per-app profile and so on...BIG surprise (and a pleasant one too)...it is opening something called Liquid Kernel Tweaker...and it lives by it's name (attached screenshots). Gone are the days when a user needs a kernel tweaker app. This thing has basic tweaking options and some extra (alot of extra I might say). Ranging from CPU clock speed, schedulers, govs, and so on, it has battery controls, GPU controls, LMK, voltage tuning and almost everything other good kernel tuner apps have. One might install FauxClock or TricksterMOD for tuning certain specific settings of a custom kernel, but for the majority this will be enough especially if use the stock kernel included with the ROM

- lockscreen customization of icon/text color and ability to enable/disable weather on lockscreen (attached screenshot)

Now that I might have awaken your "exploring" (or how Loreane could say "curiosity") instincts, I'll leave you to flash it and find out yourselves about it

Enjoy...
