[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
nopes!! people gave me link to tz 4.8. can you link me to 4.8-r2 please?
[Sony Xperia L] dogivalfer:
ThunderZap 4.8-r2 it's called 4.9, so your version is correct, just use the tz 4.9 that you have.
[Sony Xperia L] s0ur0v:
Are you sure that tz 4.8r2 called as 4.9? I was on thunderzap 4.8 everything working fine.

After Reading your quote i have flashed thunderzap 4.9, then my mobile network lost and mp-decition always disable !!! Check my attachment
[Sony Xperia L] thedemon786:
oh well i went back to my backup lollipop ... will try LS again once camera is working.
[Sony Xperia L] Ekwador:
What gapps should I install and where is the download link?
[Sony Xperia L] Rohan purohit:
4.9 was a new build with extra features... n ur partly correct. d ppl who were stuck at logo for 4.8 were fixed with 4.9.. so ya for them u cant use tz.. u have to stick to stock ls.. !

---------- Post added at 04:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:24 PM ----------

[Sony Xperia L] #The Wolverine:
Correct me if I am wrong, the recovery is not working
[Sony Xperia L] umeshxda:

[Sony Xperia L] creative21:
Anyone is having problems with calls in this ROM?
[Sony Xperia L] Hipom:
No
[Sony Xperia L] s0ur0v:
Problem found

1.soft reboot automatically so many times

2.blue screen error

I am on LS 4.0 + TZ 4.8
[Sony Xperia L] alex_72gr:
Thanks for the new Rom with lollipop, I have been using the cm12 beta 1 for some time now and I love it but it has some problems. Beta 2 was very problematic for me, so I am happy to see that more development is going on. I have used the 4.4 liquid smooth in the past but I think there was no radio. I would like you to make sure that radio will be available in the new version. In cm12 beta 1 spirit2 works, while in cm12 beta 2 it doesn't.
[Sony Xperia L] MasterQo:
Camera not working on this build.
[Sony Xperia L] AndersonGQ:
Difference?

What is the difference for the Rom Verum.chifre? It has camera pictures there? Ja comes with the option to send apps and game for the sd? How to root this out there?
[Sony Xperia L] umeshxda:
How to change ui color to white??

*Volume changes by himself, like bluetooth;

*App crash;

Sorry for my horrible english, but im trying to help to keep this better and better, but you make a great work on this, congrats.

I tried downloading from Firefox, chrome, idm, and uc browser as well, but always stucked at 29.4 Mb... I really wanna download this ROM... so please provide another download link... thanks
[Sony Xperia L] ETradu123:
I have a few problems you might consider:

* Encrypting the phone, just crash and reboots

* When doing automatic updates it gives out a error of MD5 checksum error with the downloaded build.

Thanks

i tryed to flash it via cwm recovery on my device (rooted, locked bootloader) but it fail and i had to flash it back to stock and re-root, re-install cwm recovery...

is it possible to install it on my device? should i do something first?

i have stock firmware and kernel.
[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
Hope fully you are on 15.3.A.1.12 or above firmware version. (If not first update to this version bcoz otherwise it'll cause isuue with wifi module.)

Then unlock your bootloader first. (You'll get bootloop after unlocking bootloader, its normal don't panic.)

Then install recovery, You can also flash Thunderzap 4.10 kernel which has recovery.

Then enter recovery and install zip. Done.

If you need guide to unlock bootloader and install kernel it's here

For thunderzap kernel see Android original development section.
[Sony Xperia L] elnazhox:
my bootloader is not unblockeable... is there any way possible to install custom kernel on it?????
[Sony Xperia L] mvv1277:
No, Bad luck.

I know not to ask for ETA's but any idea when the camera will be fixed as this is the only problem holding this rom back ...I'm choosing this rom over cyanogen! Great work well apart from the camera...lol ?
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
Liquid update will come soon

actually it was going to come today but there is upstream problems with hdpi devices

so we need to wait until it fixed (it will not take long time )

the coming update should have lot of good things

[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
David 3 Things: 1. Thanks for this rom!! 2. In the settings "Display" and "Vibrator intensity" doesn't work! 3. In Germany the clock shows 1 o clock instead of 13! Pls can you add this? Thanks:)
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:

[Sony Xperia L] baraozemo:

[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:

[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:

you can change between them in settings
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
Oh thanks i found it! Here are the Screenshots...
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
Display settings is fine for me :/

vibrator thing is kernel issue maybe try flash TZ will fix it

you done clean installation?
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
Maybe i will try thunderzap...yes i did "clean to install new rom" then flash zip, flash gapps und wipe cache/dalvik cache! Did i forget one step?
[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:
Trying this rom now. Everything is awesome so far. The liquidsmooth option is really amazing. No bsod. No fc. Everythinh works fine. :)
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
Did only i have the problem with setting "Display"? What did i do wrong?
[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:
Dont know. I got no prob with that setting. Only in privacy guard, when u want pick advance, setting fc.
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
Okay but what can i do?
[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:
Maybe ur file downloaded got some prob. Reinstall, reflash, retry. :/
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
:/ Do you have md5 for this file?
[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:

[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:

How to enable system profiles in this ROM?
[Sony Xperia L] baraozemo:
Hi david,

thanks for this ROM, It worked fine for me, very smooth and small.

- "no" BSOD while charching

- "no" Configurations stopped at boot

- "no" system UI FC

and this is very good I think that this solved my problems with the LP 5.1.1

I did clean install using Phil Recovery and installed base 5.1.1 gapps...

some "small insignificant bugs found" :

(I have Xperia C2104 and I'm using the default rom kernel)

- when you add the "search app button" in bottom it doesn't do anything (and the liquidsmooth launcher doesnt have search function in the apps launcher ;-( )

- Sound and Notification>Other Sounds>"Vibrator intensity" show the error "configurations stopped"

- while in "call" the speakerphone icon is hidden in the middle left but if you clicked there it works.. (but the icon is hidden)

my conclusion: this rom is very stable much better than the other that I had tested...
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
The Vibrator intensity is kernel issue...maybe flash TZ and everything will be great...
[Sony Xperia L] eddiebigmouth:
for me the 'volume rocker music control' feature isn't working. does anybody know how to solve it?
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
I love the smooth rom! I have a question: Will this rom regular be updated?
[Sony Xperia L] baraozemo:
With 3 days testing I got this two times that I think that is a "kernel" problem (cm12.1 tree?)

If the phone is OFF, and you want to charge it , when you plug the usb cable + charger , it doesn't display the "CHARGE ANIMATED ICON" and after a few minutes the "power ON/OFF" button doesn't works to TURN ON the display... If I wait 3 hours to charge the battery the power button still stucked and you cannot turn ON the device.. I have to remove the battery and put IT BACK again and the power button works to turn ON the device... this problem appear after the last update... ;-(

I have the logcat , kernel and dmesg I will sent it to David (inbox)
[Sony Xperia L] adil089:
Confirmed. Same problem here.
[Sony Xperia L] baraozemo:
adil, use crash debugger (search in google play)

to produce a complete logcat and sent to david.. (I did this too)
[Sony Xperia L] SdtBarbarossa:
if you unplug the cable and wait 2mins you can use the powerbutton to turn it on
[Sony Xperia L] baraozemo:
a working solution but not a real "good" solution.. lol
[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:
So far, im in love with this rom. Anyhow anyone tested xposed on this rom?
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
Yes and its working great :)
[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:
So basically u install the apk andd activate the module (tick) and then u flash. Am i right?
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
No, first flash the zip, then install apk and after that activate the module and reboot!

---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

My flashing method.

Flash ftf , start phone , flash tz 4.15 boot IMG , boot to recovery , clean to flash new ROM , flash ls ROM, " I got same msg as above", but script was successfully flashed, flash gapps , flash SuperSU. Reboot. Install one click apk, flash philz fota updated version for f2fs, n then flash tz 4.16
[Sony Xperia L] ninjageda33:
I just follow the instruction. I used extended kernel to flash TZ 4.8 then used the recovery from TZ 4.8 to install the ROM (I perform Clean install wipe first) then I installed the zip file, which is the LiquidSmooth rom, during the installation I received the error stated above, however the installation has finished. then i install my gaapps and restarted. When restarted the screen only shows the bootanimation logo and does not proceed to the main screen. Can you help me with this? and also, can i have the link of the Gaapps compatible with this rom. coz i think if you successfully booted with the same error i encountered, maybe the problem is on the Gaapps i used.
[Sony Xperia L] Dr Grato:
I got it too. But everything is smooth. Nothing goes wrong. Chill.
[Sony Xperia L] szomjas:
Hi,

I installed this ROM 2 days ago and I am quite happy with it. I think KitKat version was smoother and faster but it' not that bad either.

First I installed ThunderZap 4.16 but it caused problems FC for google play etc apps. Then I reinstalled the ROM again and stayed on stock kernel. Echo is finally gone, in call volume fine and important things work.

I had to use link2sd because of the insufficient internal memory space but I think you did it as well.

Thank you for your work, David!

I didn't find Q&A thread that's why I write here.

One interesting issue SuperSU disappeared from drawer and there are no uninstall or open buttons when I look it up in Play Store. However app works and I can launch it with a code from dialer.

Is there a way to associate phone's camera button with launching camera app? I also noticed while using camera that volume up/down buttons take a photo instead of zoom in/out.

David, are you interested in more feedback on minor glitches/issues? I haven't found anything major yet and hope I won't.
[Sony Xperia L] david makarove:
you can't get SuperSU in app drawer and google play because it is a system app and you can enter it from settings,

about the vol up/down it is kinda strange thing i will look on it when i get time , same thing for cam key (i don't think the camera key was even linked in the s

tock ROM but i will see about it )

sorry for not replying for all people here

i am busy with some personal stuff and some projects (one of them for taoshan )

also LS 4.1 Milestone will be coming soon with a lot of changes, so be tuned :)
[Sony Xperia L] szomjas:
Thanks for your reply.

You are right re supersu. Seems I am still on stock Rom in my mind. :)
[Sony Xperia L] sagar727@gmail.com:
David, group is missing in contacts, in dialler settings, vibrate on answer option is missing, default file manager and music app missing.

However I m using es file explorer n have flashed walkman app. So no issues for that. But I m really missing that group and vibrate on answer option. Pls add this in next update. Its a humble request.

By the way otherwise very good n smooth ROM. Keep it up developing......
[Sony Xperia L] Lorenz15:
Yes pls David can you add, that if i push the camera button on the homescreen or in an app, the camera will be open automatically?:)
[Sony Xperia L] ninjageda33:
I already succeed on installing the rom :D I just installed a KitKat rom first, then install this rom. Very nice rom
[Sony Xperia L] Lokesh Kumar:
Good to see you david, AFTER MONTHS ON STOCK , FLASHING STARTS AGAIN.......
