That's PolishVodka's (aka Straciatella) version (one of the first LP's on ACE2 if not the first ;).

I am using this from time to time (out of curiosity every time [MENTION=4881398]PolishVodka[/MENTION] releases new one :) and I must say... every next time I install a new build it is harder for me to return to my daily driver (CM11 with ace2nutzers kernel).

OS works quite stable, no major problems (apart from obvious bugs with CM12 like green video). This build (from 04.09) by PolishVodka is nearly flawless in terms of stability.

System when google apps are loaded leaves around 200 megs of free ram which is enough if you don't use many memory hungry apps (like if you stick to calling/smsing/listening to music).

Bugs which I can confirm :

- green video during recording (unless you use purely software recorder like CamU)

- very laggy browser (unless you use it on daily basis its okay, otherwise - replace the browser)

- may end up in bootloop if you choose different boot animation (I have experimented with https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.chummy.jezebel.projectflo Project Flo and had problems)

Curious things I have spotted :

- outstanding performance on the battery! (1-2 percent of battery overnight!!!) - my Ace2 on this rom sleeps very well :) (during normal usage of the phone it is not so good as LP's user interface is just more CPU hungry at times)

- streaming via youtube worked fine for me (using application)

Quick hint for people which would like to install it :

Before installation please repartition your Ace2 to have more space on system and data partitions - this way you can really enjoy using this OS without stressing that your running out of space for applications (if you don't know what repartition is - please do not do it! That is why I am not providing a link ;) but you can easily find the scripts here in Ace2 Development section)

can i install this rom over cm11 rom ?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] gothicVI:
You can try wiping system and install (don't forget to wipe cache and dalvic) but I'd recommend doing a full wipe.

[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] aviallon:
Yeah, I'll try to search them. You know, I don't own a galaxy ace 2 anymore (bricked it), so I need to search in the forum (in Polish).

Edit : sorry, but there is no Changelog. Straciatella are not writing them. You can search on Gerrit though.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
What a pity! Can't unbrick it even with a jig??
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] aviallon:
Yes. Even with a jig. I hardbricked it!
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
i don't think so ....

If u've flashed wrong bootloader then u'Re always able to write proper bootloader again with an Riff-Box !

The mini usb-jig for the ace2 serves nothing ! - This is only useful if some Buttons are broken and u can't boot to the download-mode !!

btw: it's then Softbricked ...

Hardbricked is when the Hardware is broken ...

Is there a remote chance to fix green video recording bug in the future?

Last LP builds are really good. I could have them for everyday use, Chrono's Omni, Sergeyl and Polish's CM12.1....

But a phone with no videocamera... Probably very soon I will have to restore my KK backup.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] aviallon:
My chip is broken. Can't go in download mode. I tried USB jig, and it didn't work.

So, I bought a new phone ( a Galaxy S4 LTE for 110 € - about 117 $)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ace2nutzer:
Okay.. Nice New phone...

But if u have still the ace2 .. It is not dead.

U can revive it with an jtag programming riff-box... Google this... It's not like usb-jig for 1€ ;)
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
You still can have installed both KK and LP ROMs at the same time. Seriously, it's not so complicated. I have used this combo (Vanir KK + Omni LP) until I realized that I mostly use Omni than Vanir. Only annoying thing was, that switching between ROMs required reboot.
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Thanks, I read that post, but I'm almost sure I'd screw up something. I see some things I'm not sure I'll do correctly.

Also, most LP's have your kernel and it works fine, but I won't be able to try other ROMs with different kernels.

I read it's not compatible CM11 + CM12 (because CM11's ramdisk doesn't have some modifications needed to use SELinux).

And one last doubt, everytime I change ROM, I have to re-send phone number to enable Whastapp... So if I boot and switch ROMs, will I have to do it every times?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] ChronoMonochrome:
Hmm, that's an outdated information. It was the true when CM12.1 didn't support kernel builds without SElinux, but now LP+KK combo is fully supported.

I can't say for sure since I don't use whatsapp. How about backing it up before you update the ROM, and then to restore it?
[Galaxy Ace II Android Development] Culateralligator:
Maybe that would be a problem. Whatsapp backups usually ends in delayed messages. It's a funny app to restore.

So... I jumped to my old rusty Ace2 and well... with current enormous size of Google Play Services it still managed to work (althought requiring a lot of patience).

Awesome, awesome, awesome ... But now that I thought I'd found my daily, you're making me flash ANOTHER ROM ;) There's no way I can't at least test this with how much I loved LS KK. Nicely done.

---------- Post added at 04:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 PM ----------

And you know for me it will be between LS and your Slim port, which is my daily. Slim is working great, so that's my nandroid backup when I flash this. I'm wondering though, whether Liquid uses the F2FS partition format or EXT4. Switching between the two is an extra gnarly headache :eek:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] Theziggy:
Wow

My first 'working' Rom on the S3 Lte was the Liquid Smooth KK which I really liked. Moved on to RR since but this is quite tempting news.

Your ROM production seems to have gone into hyperdrive Rodman1

:cool:
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] spiderman07:
used LS 4.4.4 version. and loved it. was perfect smooth.

downloading and testing. any recomended kernel? or we should just use stock?

Edit: all works well. setup worked perfect(on some roms it would got stuck at 1 point).

on all 5.1 ROMS i had a hard time figuring where the weather settings are. I want to change from farenheit to celsius. location is spot on. but units is bad.

used search in settings but no use.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ultyrunner:
It's definitely a nice stab at LS and I like the few additional tweaks, but too many key bugs to use as a daily driver, I'll have to revert back to SlimLP. Namely:

- Can't get LTE data (or any data at all) to stick. On my Canadian carrier, with 5.1 ROMs I've typically had to set a new APN. Whether I use the auto downloaded ones or set up a new one, it won't connect to my data.

- I love that Eleven is included in this, but each time I reboot, it can't read my music, despite the fact that I can easily see it when I navigate to it on the ext SD via root explorer. It will randomly see it or not occasionally.

- Battery seems very much on par with SlimLP (excellent) but I'm finding it less responsive. Not unusably so or anything, but I'm guessing the F2FS partition format may help Slim in this regard.

- While it includes the CM theming engine, this is not working properly. Applying any theme will cause some system UI FCs, but usually straighten out with a system UI restart or warm reboot. However, the one CM 12.1 theme I like the best and which I've purchased completely shuts down the system UI. The only way to remove it is a dirty flash with a system/cache wipe.

I would really love the extra features, and this seems like a great port, but switching between partition formats makes testing a *****, since I'm using Slim. With an update regarding the data and music player bugs, on an F2FS partition, and I'd be happy to give it another spin.

Thanks for the effort.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] maultasche:
Installed the ROM as well for testing and I can't confirm the bugs ultyrunner has mentioned.

- LTE is working for me

- CM theme engine works without any issues. Downloaded two themes I have used in the past on RR/AICP. Everything was themed, no FCs

Can't say much about battery since it's a fresh install. GPS/mobile data are working, app2sd is working. Eleven is not working for me however. As soon as I start it, it's just closing itself. Other than that your build has some more features than Slim, which are a nice addition.

This ROM with the optimized Slim Kernel would be the best ROM so far. The ROM is smooth as well on ext4, I don't think there will be a noticeable improvement over F2FS.

Thanks and congrats on another great ROM.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ultyrunner:
My LTE issue is likely due to being on Rogers in Canada. Every 5.1 ROM without fail has issues for me. However, I was able to set up a manual APN. Not here. I have read on other device forums (flashing LP on my son's rooted Z3) that some people were having issues with CM bases and ext SD cards randomly unmounting/losing access. The intermittent nature of my Eleven issues seem to point to something of this nature. However, as I can always see all mounts in root explorer, not sure what this issue is. I even experienced it once on Slim so ... ? Also, just anecdotal on the F2FS, but I have found Slim to be really snappy with killer battery. While LS has fewer governors available, I've set them the same - pegasusq, 200/1400 and readahead buffers 512/1024 (really all I'm tweaking). LS is still very good, just a little less so. And, agreed, I'd love to be able to use LS due to the extra features, but music and theming and switching between partition formats makes it difficult at present.

Also agreed that this is a very nice job and so close ...

As well, while I wouldn't want anyone to buy it to test, the specific theme that totally borked this for me was Flux and it's absolutely amazing, as almost the entire UI is dark themed, with a beautiful font and very good system icons. If anyone already has a license and wanted to test that, it would be interesting.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] maultasche:
Thankfully I never had issues with mobile data but I have seen posts on here and on other boards, too where people couldn't even get 2G/3G working. I guess I was lucky, LTE worked right out of the box after installing LS. What I encountered on AICP was the randomly SD card unmounting. I never found any solution. One reason I stopped using it since I lost quite a few data, music etc. Never happened on any other CM-based ROM. I was able to access my SD card on LS as well but as I stated, Eleven just closed itself after starting. Not even deleting data/wiping cache did help. With Google Play Music no issues. Maybe a bad installation?

I didn't tweak the kernel that much but with the few apps I installed the ROM was pretty smooth. I did not feel any difference compared to Slim. I guess in the long run you might see/feel advantages off F2FS to ext4. Lock screen weather and maybe carrier logo on home screen would make Slim even better, the only two things I have missed. I already said but with the customized kernel from Slim (battery, sound, tweaks), the features included in LS ... that ROM would be major killer.

Rodman deserves more recognition. I'm amazed at how many ROMs he has given the community within the last few weeks. He even updates them frequently. Kudos to him.

I only tried Euphoria Dark Theme and the Dark Red Resurrection Theme, no issues as stated. But then the theme you used hasn't been updated in a while (last update was in May) which could be the reason it was not working 100%.

Before I'm way too off topic I keep it short and I'm looking forward to the next build.
[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Android Deve] ultyrunner:
Who knows. Data was fine for me on all early 5.0 LP ROMs and just started being a problem on, primarily, CM12.1 based stuff. Back on Slim and it's working well. The biggest setting change from the downloaded APN from the SIM, is setting APN type to just an asterisk and not filling in a few other fields. As for your data loss, that's why I can't jump between EXT4 and F2FS any more. The first time I stupidly forgot to back up a bunch of pics on my internal SD card. 20 gigs of music on my ext SD so safe. I'd love to see LS on F2FS instead, because it's also a buggar restoring a nandroid. You have to reformat the partitions for each move back and forth (or at least I do, or the backup won't restore properly).

Agreed. Particularly the way cLock weather allows the forecast floating window on touch without unlocking. I find that to be a majorly useful feature and likely not coming to Slim.

Absolutely. I've tested Cyanide, Blisspop and now LS, all courtesy Rodman, so big kudos.

Maybe, though I had it enabled on the last stable 5.0 based LP ROM (AICP) I was using for probably a couple months and no problems. My first foray into LTE hell was when I upgraded to AICP 9. Slim is the only one since that works for me.

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:50 PM ----------

You can't put weather on the lockscreen, so really the best way is to add the weather widget to a homescreen, then you'll get presented with the clock, weather and calendar options before it's placed.

Smooth ROM, but some issues:

Cant get notification sounds - like incoming call ring, sms, whatsapp notification sound. Tried rebooting few times, no help.

When i disconnect the call, the screen just shows hanging up and stays there forever, i have to use the back button to get out of that.

Also I am on 3UK network, the network coverage is bad, is there a way to flash 3 uk modem?
