That's purely personal preference. I have a extended battery so I like performance! Most people like optimized or battery saver. You each pre configuration a few days each see what you like.

---------- Post added at 02:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 AM ----------

Mine works fine 1-7 build, both with our without swift kernel.

---------- Post added at 02:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:30 AM ----------

Don't know I don't use viper. I used the beoffla that's built with swift but you can disable beoffla in stweaks so you should be able to use any other you like I would think.

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 AM ----------

Data speed for me is great. I don't think it's the rom. I'm on mj9, people seem to have luck with mj9 and nd7 both, I wouldn't recommend any older mode.m. I average 24 to 30 mb down 5 to 6 mb up which is consistent with 4.4.4 roms.

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:38 AM ----------

This was the case for me on shift 4.0, do not know if it's fixed on 4.2 or not, if I'm on Bluetooth radio listening to tunes and a call or message sounds the audio gets louder and louder and more distorted until I push volume down once then it goes back to normal but this is a kernel issue not rom I think and maybe fixed in 4.2? Otherwise love swift kernel with this rom.

Could someone tell me how to install one of the wonderful themes that was made for this rom? The 2 times that I tried, it really screwed up my phone and I had to reflash all over again. I know it's simple and I have to be missing something. Than you in advance.

Tried 1/7 build from scratch but the battery would not last the day.... Started over from scratch with the shift 4.2 kernel and battery is way better. I did need the GPS fix and the text fix but other then that this rom rocks. Great work!!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hredder:
I have rom toolbox and it offers a reboot to recovery.. I haven't looked into rom settings yet
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] warriorpluto:
so for the most part, this is stable?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] DreamFX:
Yes. It's very stable for such an early build. I suggest flashing the shift kernel that is mentioned several posts back and the lollipop GPS fix that is floating around. If you can't find the mentioned stuff pm me and I can get you the links. I'm too lazy to find them right now as its in the middle of the night.

APK install issue

Been using this rom for a while now with no issues to speak of until today when I tried to install several new apks. I started getting parsing errors for a number of the apps. I thought they were corrupt so downloaded through several different devices and using dropbox, Google drive and direct link to get the apks on the phone but nothing made any difference as I still got the parsing error. I did try to install some apps I had on my sd card and was able to successfully install. Decided to restore one of my kitkat 4.4.4 roms to see if I could install the apks I couldn't successfully install in this rom and was then able to successfully install them with no parsing issue.

I'm assuming there is something in Android 5.0 that is different causing the issue. A Google search has offered no help as far as the issue or any workaround so thought I'd throw it out to this group. Anyone else having similar problems?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] griz1982:
Safe Overclock speed for i605

What is a safe stable overclock speed for my i605? Running LS 4.0 with Shift Kernel
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] QBall45:
I've never experienced parsing errors with app installation through either Play Store or Amazon Appstore. Piracy isn't supported by this rom. (not that I'm making that accusation)

I've found zero reason to overclock my i605 ever. Proceed at your own risk and move with caution.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I have been over clocking my i605 since the day I put my first custom rom and kernel on it. I have been over clocked to 1.8ghz ever since and have had no I'll effects yet. I would say that this is a good solid speed. Pushing it much past that for any length of time may not be safe. You must remember though, that all phones are different and may responded differently to over clocking and there for you should proceed with caution. Also, by over clocking you risk battery life and stability and could also damage your phone. I hope this helped.

Update

Where can I get the 1/13 build?

I did not see it on the list. the 1/7 is the last one I can see.

Thanks
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewc513:
Used my Note II with the 1/7 build of Liquid as the source for Tap & Go setup after reflashing my Nexus 7 with the 5.0.2 factory image. Worked beautifully! Tap & Go wasn't working on earlier builds. (Not as the destination, at least)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] warriorpluto:
What's tap and go?

---------- Post added at 11:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:00 PM ----------

I second this
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewc513:
If you have a Lollipop device setup with your Google account (phone, for example), and you get another new Lollipop device (tablet, for example)... When going through the initial setup of the new device, you get a Tap & Go prompt. You tap the already-configured device to the new device, and it passes off your account data over NFC to automate setup.

It's pretty cool, and very handy for a crack flasher like me that's always doing a clean install of some rom on my devices. If you use 2FA, it bypasses the need for entering a 2FA code because physical access to another device with your account already in use implies that you are you.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] warriorpluto:
Oh OK that is pretty cool. I'll have to try that out
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] griz1982:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I just tried a build with the theme engine and had a couple issues with it. It may just be my phone as I have had other issues that no one else seems to have had. They are definitely headed in the right direction.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] QBall45:
Unfortunately, this one is sans dark ui.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I am one of those that like the dark UI. I just think that dark looks better on the note 2s screen. But this is just my opinion. I'm restoring my apps now and am going to play with this rom for a while. I tried the CM12 build earlier and had some issues but finally got it to work and the theme engine is awesome. It works. And I an excited that it is included in this build.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Im sure he will go back dark. Might have just been temporary so he could get this nightly out with the new theme engine.. If not I can have dark apps for you guys by the end of the day..
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] TheBr0ken:
We were hard setting colors and that won't work with the theme engine. We had to revert it to the blindingly, battery hogging white. I'm a fan of dark myself, but this needed to be done. Hopefully It won't be long till we get a dark ui switch back in there. Images are much, much different in lollipop, which is why many cm11 themes will most likely fail and either be missing images, won't install or cause force closes. Adding a switch won't be easy
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] lacoursiere18:
Sounds like a plan. I know all the apps can be done fairly simple, as far as hard coding the colors, not a switch by any means. The only issue I have trouble converting to dark is the framework. I am going to dig around in framework.jar now to see if your added styles were called in there for dialogs, listviews and so on..

Great work btw getting the theme engine out. I plan on modding the existing cm11 template to see how much I can get working. The thing that is different is lollipop is more xml changes then there is images, which I like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] pmsrefugee:
I love this rom but keep having to go back to Alliance rom because of the Bluetooth stuttering problem. It seemed the shift kernel fixed it but I'd rather stick with the stock kernel. Is running shift the only way to fix Bluetooth playback for now? Is there a built in ad- blocker I can disable? I know ad-blockers could cause stuttering on other roms.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I've had this rom on now for a while and it has settled in for the most part. So far in not experiencing the Bluetooth issues, I am running Shift kennel though, and theme engine is working fine. Battery life seems to be good but I'm going to have to run it for a while to get good data and will report what I find.

Than you again for keeping this phone alive.

Can this install on Safestrap?

Disclaimer: I'm JUST getting back into this having last rooted a bionic 2 years ago, and I don't remember much.

I JUST figured out how to root my i605 (stock nd7 4.4.2), using the latest ghettoroot. It worked great, and I was able to get latest supersu to update my su binary. I read basically everywhere that due to the bootloader lock, I have to use Safestrap, and I have to stick basically to touchwiz roms. Well, since safestrap gives you rom slots, and because no one tells me what to do, I figured I would simply load LS4.0 on Slot with pa gapps and gps fix to see what happened. This stuck me in a bootloop, which was easily escaped by simply going back to my stock slot through Safestrap recovery. Will this rom simply not work due to it not being touchwiz based? Any other quick fix ideas?

Is there a way for me, being rooted now - albeit with a locked bootloader, to downgrade my android version and baseband to be able to download LS? IwantitIwantit!!

I have attached latest ghettoroot zip in case anyone reading this needs it. Pm me if you need instructions
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] warriorpluto:
Only way is to send your phone to mobile tech videos and gave them downgrade for 70. Well worth it
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I don't listen to music from my phone. That I did not test. I test apps that I use and that my friends use. I could try it and see of those problems happen for me too although from what I'm reading that may be a waist of my time.

I will give a rundown of all the video apps that I've tried; YouTube is working, it was giving me issues on a build for another device, Vudu of working, Xfinity's TV to go app works great Hulu is hit and miss. Of course Netflix does not work. My camera videos play fine with MX video player.

Theme engine works good as long as you use the right themes.

Loving this rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
I will confirm that Mobile Tech Video will downgrade your phone to unlocked bootloader for $75.00, or at least that's what it cost me earlier this year. It works. My granddaughter screwed up my phone and that was my only option except to run nothing but touchwiz.

I am now running Liquid 5.0 lollipop and loving it.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] glockman4519:
The only reason I don't use Agni on Roms other than touchwiz is you lose USB OTG and can't use a micro SD USB OTG adapter.

USB to OTG is a using your micro USB plug in at the bottom of your phone, where you plug in to charge or connect to PC, to plug in a small dongle or gadget that accepts a micro SD card and allows your phone to use that SD card as more storage or as another drive.

I use it to transfer files on and off to keep from filling up my phones storage. I keep roms, backups and TB backups, music and videos on it instead of on my phone. Then when I need then I just plug in my little USB to OTG gadget, plug it in and I'm good to go.

ohhhhh, that almost sounds useful, in my years flashing nightlies and playing with every rom possible I haven't really seen a need for anything like that but I get how it would save some hassle. Generally I just keep the SD card of the phone where I store backups etc and transfer downloads over to that occasionally. I use pushbullet to send links to downloads I want on the phone when I am on the PC.
