This may have been previously asked, but is there any way to rip the dialer for use with other ROMs?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
That's one of the issues that I was working with someone else to try to resolve. So far we haven't found a resolution.

You can try it, but I'm not sure it will play nice with other roms.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sean1208:
Thanks. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing an easy fix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] itsmefu:
Just installed this rom, really nice looking. Had a couple force close messages when I was setting up the phone, other then that everything seems to work fine. Thanks jermaine for the rom, like it a lot so far.

Edit: Greatest lockscreen of all time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tktouch12:
these roms look super nice. i love the acer ui.

my question is which is better? the liquid metal or liquid light?

which is faster and has less problems?

do they both have the acer music and all the same cool acer apps?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] gordy_2001:
Dumb Question

After using MIUI forever, I tried this, and love it!

How do I add the weather widget to the main home page, not the lock screen?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] royolpunk:
Omg....I LOVE THIS haha
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
No. Widgets only go on the widget screen.

I prefer light. Try them both out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] syrguy1969:
I posted in another thread (Incredikernel) but figured I would give this thread a shot as well. What is a good kernel to use with this ROM? I am liking the ROM, but need a little better battery life.

Thanks for any opinions!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] royolpunk:
Try to set profiles in setcpu. Btw jermaine, what's the diff between the two?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Try Chad's (Incredikernel) Froyo kernel or InvisibleK's #28. I haven't tried Chad's froyo kernels, but his GB kernels are great on battery. I used InvisibleK's, with LiquidLight and the battery life was awesome.

You mean between Liquid Light and Metal? The OP describes it best, but simply put: Light was built off of a Liquid e port, is lighter and seems to have more working in a smaller package. Metal was built from a Liquid Metal port, seems to be a "little" snappier but has more things not working (proximity sensor, orange artifact boxes on some of the menu screens, etc.)

Once I used LiquidLight, I never went back to Metal. That's just my preference.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] royolpunk:
Alright gonna try now:)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] royolpunk:
Also jermaine I would be really happy if you got the white circle battery icons working with liquid light:)))))
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mixedlemon:
Just curious, could you be a little more specific?

Is the gallery loading, but showing no folders, or only a few folders? Maybe loading the empty frames?

Have you tried one of the 2D galleries? The 3D gallery often gives me more problems than it's worth :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I'm pretty sure that he meant it's only showing him the pictures from his sdcard and not his internal memory. I could be wrong, though. I know if you use the Nemo player, you can browse the pictures in /emmc and bring them up that way. The gallery, however (or should I say the media scanner service), does not scan the internal memory.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mixedlemon:
Ahh, I see that now. I never really noticed before since my pictures are mostly on my SD card, but I think you're right about his question. My mistake.

If you just want the look of it you're welcome to use this metamorph I threw together real quick. It will give you the circle battery, BUT it only increases/decreases by increments of 10. It's a Metamorph theme, so don't flash it through recovery.

As long as it's not stepping on jermaine's toes I may take another look later when I have some free time to get a proper fix, but maybe this will hold you over untill then.

Thanks again for the awesome rom jermaine, even with the recent CM7rc1 and all of the new Sense ports I can't go a whole day without going back to LiquidMetal.. I just miss the lockscreen too much. :P

Any ideas on new features/fixes to look forward to in future builds?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sean1208:
Yea, I never knew I was saving them to my phone (the 100MEDIA folder, or whatever it's called). I'm waiting for a new micro sd card, so I'll move everything over once it comes.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You're VERY welcome and I'm glad that everyone is still enjoying the rom. The problem with the battery is the framework being set to those increments of 10%. I tried for hours to change it and get it to work in increments of 1% but it just wouldn't play nice. I got kinda burned out at not being able to fix the remaining things that I couldn't, so I took a good break from it. I think I'm about ready to jump back on the horse and see what I can do. I think I needed my phone to be usable as a phone for a while. LOL! You can't imagine how much correspondence I miss by flashing, wiping, flashing, wiping, etc....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mickskillz:
Jermaine, is there any chance you could post the dialer/contacts apk from this rom. I love the dialer and would like to use it on all my different setups. Is it possible for me to use on AOSP or MIUI roms?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I left my main PC (laptop) at work and so I'm working on my netbook. I don't have the files on this one. You can download the rom and just extract those from the /system/app folder, but I doubt that they'll work with other AOSP roms. It can't hurt to try, though.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mickskillz:
Okay, I'm gonna take the plunge and try them out. Thank for the reply
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ringospeed:
IS this rom also useable for the HTC HD2?

And how to install it?

The how to in the beginning is very difficult for me.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
No. This is for the Incredible only.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] abrin:
Just switched to this ROM after watching the XDA-TV episode on it, downgrading from Evervolv Gingerbread. So far I love the layout and the lock screen but already I'm having FC problems. Both Facebook and ROM Manager FC when I try to open them.

EDIT: Add Google Voice and XDA to the list

EDIT2: Wiped 2 or 3 more times for good measure and reinstalled. All working now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You're not alone and I'm sick of the wiping problems with CWM3 sooooo:

UPDATE: I went back to the older scripts that don't work with ClockworkMod v3.x because of too many issues with that recovery. You will need CWM2 to install any of these downloads. I have attached a PB31IMG.zip, to the OP, that can be flashed via HBOOT to downgrade. I will use the newer scripts when they work out the wiping issues with CWM3. Thanks!

P.S. I'm working on getting 1% battery increments for LiquidLight, followed by the white circle battery mod.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Sean1208:
I flashed Liquid Metal, and I'm assuming the answer to this is wipe (which is no biggie), but can I flash Liquid Light right over it without wiping, or is it completely different?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
They have different framework. You can try it and if you have issues, then wipe and re-flash.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
BUMPED because battery mods for LiquidLight have been added to Post #2 / Extras. If any of you Metal users would like the color battery mod, let me know and I'll use Pendo's to mod to make one.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] 20twins10:
Glad to see the interest resparked .. its a great Rom.. what are the top priority items?

I vaguely remember reading sometime back that the app drawer was apk based, and possible to be inserted into other roms? I'd. Love to give this a shot.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fabzbear:
Try giving it a shot. Try making the app draw stay down without taking out the apps from it.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Just my luck. This ROM will be perfected after I sell my Inc :P
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Notification lights and a working light sensor are my biggest priorities.

You sold it??? :( You getting a Thunderbolt? I'm trying to fight the urge!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] mcfarlan:
Liquid Light

Hey jermaine, getting a "page not found" error when I try to download Liquid Light. Did you pull it and I missed it in the thread?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
My bad. Goofed up on the directory I put it in. You should be able to download it now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Maybe heh. I may switch out of HTC for a new company but that Thunderbolt is very tempting
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cryous:
Incrediblek #28 is awesome for battery life, what would you put the values for on setcpu for this rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I just do a screen off profile at 245 Max.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
jer, now that cwr 3.0.0.7 seems to be working properly unlike 3.0.0.5, could you please make compatible versions of the add on files? 2.5.1.2 has scrolled off the all cwr list and cwr 2.5.1.4 never flashes for me... was just about to put on the 1% increments zip file. i see you have the other recovery on the OP page too - but that requires hboot which i try to do anything in unless i have to. its more likely to do something wrong there than in recovery...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I sure will. I'm in the process of getting new releases out. I have internal media scanning and usb mounting working flawlessly, on LiquidLight. I'm going to try to get it going for Metal too, so I can release at the same time.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
wow! that would be nice!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
New versions are up!

Changelog

February 26th, 2011

Added eMMC media scanning / USB mounting into LiquidLight RC1 and LiquidMetal RC2 (Thanks to n_i_x and the rest of the MIUI team because I reverse engineered their fix)

Brought back the install scripts that are compatible with ClockworkMod 2.x and 3.0.0.7 or greater

Removed GScript lite since the scripts are no longer needed to mount internal storage via USB
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
New release is simply amazing. LiquidLight is great. Props to all who contributed
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Thanks solar.

I think I'm going to have to pull the download links for a bit. Somehow I seem to have broken the camera on both versions, in the process of fixing the media scanning. I will try to fix and have them back up ASAP.

EDIT: I'm re-uploading the older versions with working cameras, and leaving the new versions up (with a disclaimer) until I figure this camera issue out. It shouldn't be too hard to fix. I just have to make my same changes, one at a time, flash and see which change is breaking the camera and then attack it. I'll keep everyone updated.

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Oh wow. I hadn't even noticed the cam was broken.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I guess I won't be posting links to the older versions. I figured it out faster than I thought!!! :D I just need to make sure it didn't break anything else. Next I'll apply the same changes to Metal and if all goes well I'll upload RC1.1 and RC2.1, respectively, and update OP.

EDIT: Both versions have been fixed, uploaded and links ready to go.

Changelog

February 27th, 2011

Fixed camera crash caused by the media scanning fix.

Updated/Added Rom Manager v3.0.1.0

Changed versions to LiquidMetal RC2.1 and LiquidLight RC1.1
[Droid Incredible Android Development] PGleo86:
Just a thought... would it be possible to port this to Gingerbread?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
That would be absolutely awesome if possible by any means. It seems liquid UI is not as deeply hooked into base android as say sense is, given that you can switch UI to stock in Applications -> User Interface in Liquid Metal. By the way that option is not there in light (I guess thats the reason why its 20mb smaller).

Jer, any way to extract the Acer UI - given that light and Metal differences would probably be the Acer UI files?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] illuminarok:
Just this lockscreen as an apk would be amazing...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Might have a surprise for these requests. Found an Acer Gingerbread leak. Trying to see if I can get it booting. No promises, but if I get it working decently, it will be a new thread.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cryous:
For upgrades should we flash like a new rom? Or can I just flash it over the exisiting rom?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I tested a flashover with Light and it worked fine. Try it and wipe if you have issues.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cryous:
I flashed over the new update and it works like a charm, thanks jermaine
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fabzbear:
Hey what's up Jermaine. Using the tool you gave me how could I make a version of light for the evo and if its not a problem could you make a version of your latest version of light.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokeefe33:
Ok, so I have an issue getting the liquidmetal up and running. I wiped and backed up existing rom, then liquid metal starts up, then i get a bunch of force close error messages. THen when I close them all and go to tap on the android to get started it wont allow me to click on it and move forward with the start up process. What should I do here!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You'd have to replace the files in the tool with files for the Evo, like CM6 or something. It's hard for me to make one for the Evo because I don't have one to test it booting and the Evo doesn't have internal memory which I've patched into my files.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You should either A) change your ClockworkMod version from 3.0.0.5 to 3.0.0.8, or B) downgrade it to 2.5.x, so that it really wipes all data or C) Wipe about 10 times as previous posters have had to do with the CWM 3.0.0.5 version.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokeefe33:
I cant get off of this welcome to liquid metal screen. How could I go back to change the clockwork mod or do anything else?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] pokeefe33:
I figured it out. I forgot about recovery. Thank you !
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fabzbear:
Ok how would I take out the internal memory fix you had in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Replace my services.jar and MediaProvider.apk with one from BigDog's evo e build. You should be able to flash over my battery icon updates without a problem, to get 1% increments instead of 10%.

P.S. Use my Build.prop file, but replace every instance of "inc" with "supersonic".
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fabzbear:
The build prop file is already in your version right and replacing you mean just edit inc to supersonic. Right.

Oh, can I use the file you sent me to do this?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
You can use that, but replace the files in that zip, with evo files, by opening it in 7zip and dragging them in.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
Looking forward to it!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
These are now really really nice! Internal mounts immediately to my mac!

A few questions.

1. Which one do you run, people? Metal or Light? I like them both but need to decide on one for my rota. Was just on metal till today but now have light too. Feels strange - kinda like dating the twin sister too, hehehe.

2. GScript no longer required, right?

3. Anybody try chad's froyo .37 kernel on this for any reasonable length of time?

4. Anybody manage to get Pure for K-9 widgets to show anything on the lock screen? It just shows up blank. Not sure if its something wrong with what I am doing or something to do with Pure not accepting the lockscreen as a place to put a widget on. I am not even using the scrollable widgets which require LPP or ADW and it still wont work.

Salivating over GB Acer port...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrAwesomeMan:
So I'm having some trouble with the fix. I've flashed it in recovery and then i changed the name via astro rebooted and when i try to open location and security i get a force close. Can anyone help?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
phone fix zip for metal not compatible with cwr3 fyi
[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrAwesomeMan:
i have cm v2
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
you are right. even after changing to CWR2.5, even though it flashes, the location and security settings FCs - in the original metal rom somehow after flashing the phone fix, it used to allow us into the location and security settings section.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I just checked the phone fix and it is using the edify scripts for CWM3. The testing I did to get into the location and security menu was done by actually adb pulling the phone apk, deleting it from the phone, rebooting, getting in the menu, make changes and then pushing phone.apk back and rebooting. I thought that renaming would accomplish the same thing. I'll have to try it today and see what happens.

EDIT: Khanam: The Location and Security menu has always FC'd, even with the phone fix. The fix is to allow the phone to wake up and accept incoming calls. Without it, the phone would ring, but the phone didn't have permissions to take over the screen, so the lock screen came up instead. The only way that I've been able to get into that menu was with phone.apk removed.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
1. I like light because of the proximity sensor working and no artifacts on menus.

2. Correct; Gscript is not needed.

3. I like InvisibleK's with froyo AOSP.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] robko918:
i seem to have a problem with applications finding my location. Google Maps is able to find my location but sometimes its off by a block or two. Applications like weather bug and news and weather arent able to find me
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Hmm... I wonder if those apps are trying to use wireless to locate you instead of GPS. Location worked fine for me. Did you change kernels?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] robko918:
i dont think its using wireless and i am using the stock kernals. they work fine in other roms
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Well, I have bad news and good news:

Bad news: I'm not having success with booting the Acer Gingerbread version so it may be a while before I can bring it to you. I'm also not liking trying to maintain 2 ROMs, so LiquidLight may be the only one I build on from here on out.

Good News: I raped an Acer leak for all it's goodies and I will be bringing you a new LiquidLight version with a BRAND NEW ACER BREEZE UI!!! and other stuff!

You might say, "What does the new UI bring over the old one?"

I'd answer with:

You wanted widgets on your home screen? Check...

Wanted a sleeker, sexier look? Check...

Wanted to be able to make folders on your desktops to organize your apps? Check..

Wanted newer widgets? Check...

How about the Social Jogger client and widget (I think it's sexy)? Check...

Teaser shots attached!

Coming soon so keep a look out...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I'm not sure what the issue is, then. I'm at work in a tall building so I can't test it, but I know location worked great for me. I'll try it this evening from home and report back to you.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] robko918:
after installing liquid metal my location works
[Droid Incredible Android Development] fabzbear:
You gotta show me how you rip that ui.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Jermaine, nightly test build pretty please?!! :D

That new UI looks amazing. Great work, man. I can't wait to try the new UI
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
PM Sent. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Cryous:
Nerdgasm for new ui O.O
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
hahahahahaha! i thought i was the only one...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I'll upload this test build but understand that it has some kinks to work out.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Thank you so much! No feedback then, right? As you most likely know what the problems are s of now.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Downloading now while backing up my current setup. Thanks man. Will give a detailed breakdown after some extensive use

You want me to mirror? Or you only want it up tonight for testing reasons?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
woohoo!!!! okay, is this a metal or light build and is it flashable over any of them?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
I just want it up for tonight for test reasons.

It's Light build and can't be flashed over metal.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
No problem. Also, so far so good. This is pretty nice, man! Loving the new UI.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] khanam:
PMs sent with feedback. Seems to flash nicely over Liquid light rom I am running so thats a big relief. At least I dont have to set up everything all over again. Mounts nice and proper to my mac too - no big issues seen except some tweaking that Jermaine would have to do on the widget screens etc

Home screen widgets are what I had been waiting for! Some nice new widgets too! Now if we could port this over to CM7, I will be in heaven. Jer, if you could extract it from a GB rom and port it on to 2.2 light, is it possible to get it onto our version of GB i.e. CM7 not Acer's GB rom which you are unable to get to work? Just a thought... not sure if possible at all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jermaine151:
Thanks for the feedback. I may play with getting the launcher to work with CM7. I don't think I'll be working on this until Monday. Have a nice weekend all.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] solarpolitiks:
Alright, feedback time:

Most things seem to be working well. Calls work well, camera takes pictures without problems and the UI is smooth. We still have the problems found in the LiquidLight build but it's based on that so that's expected. Minor errors are no here like the widget lockscreen bug. going to map out the widgets only offers three screens when in reality we should have 5. The FCs for Loc. and Sec. are still present but it's not too big of a deal. One thing to note is that sometimes the screen doesn't come on when calls come in. The first time I tested it myself and the screen went on immediately and I was able to answer it. Just recently, however, I got a call and could not answer it. Recording with the camera also seems borked. I recorded like a 1 second test clip and it was fine but things past like 10 seconds (maybe less) would cause a Camera FC. Wireless tether also doesn't work causing a reboot every time I have used it, a couple of times with the stock kernel and with Invisiblek. The widgets work well but positioning them seems a little weird, not sure though, this could just be Acer's fault :P. I have noticed, too, that the weather widget seems to just stop working and not update causing me to delete it and re add it. I can confirm USB mounting is working on my Win7 PC as well, all good. I'll update as I find more.

Besides this, the ROM is sweet. The new UI is amazing and incredibly smooth. Even with LWP enabled I don't see a difference in scrolling around the pages and opening the app drawer.

Here are some screens. The Ubuntu fonts look very good with this ROM and fit a bit better.

Market Ratings appear. Hooray!
