LiQuID FroZeN YoGurT v1.5 (FRG22 Built From AOSP Source!! - Custom SLaYHer KeRNeLs!!)

[johnlgalt]

oh, you meant a paid alternate "launcher" app - not the paid version of Launcher Pro itself lol.

I think that confused both UBR and me.

Having a little problem with fb, I can't get it to dl off of the market, did this not come in the rom?

 

[UBRocked]

Well see i kinda already had a paid open home that i purchased way before i rooted so i rather just have it back on there

I can appreciate not wanting to go away from an app you have purchased...but Launcher Pro has been the fastest and smoothest home screen replacement I have used...by a long shot! ADW is not too shabby either

I remember having dxTop back in the day LOL...haven't tried the newer versions...might give that a whirl sometime just to see how it's progressed (if it's still updated).

Script to remove FB is still there - about to install now so I'll let you know.

DxTop pro is on V3.0.7 if that helps any

What would the script be to add it?

 

[johnlgalt]

There would not be one. Liquid includes it as a system app, but if you removed it then to put it back in would require a root-enabled terminal and / or ADB shell with su and / or a file manager with root access.

Then you could extract it from the ROM and put it back in.

If you did not remove it and it is not showing in your ROM...well, mine is still updating so I'll let you know in a minute if it is in mine or not. Well, make that like 10 minutes. lol.

When I get back to a computer I'll double check the md5(should've done this in the first place, I know) to see if I got a good copy and prolly do another wipe/install and see if that'll do it.

 

[Damademan3]

with 1.4 i had muffled notification sounds and im having the same problem with this release. I came from another rom and wiped my cache etc before install. If i go back it works just fine. weird.

 

[amageus]

I installed this earlier today and i got problems right away. First thing that crashed was the Market...i wanted to download Titanium Backup to restore all my apps...i tried the Browser from Launcher Pro and the same thing happened...not sure if this is only on my phone...

I was using Lithium Mod with Alternate Black Theme...it ran smooth for a few weeks and recently i've been having problems with programs hanging...

Before that I was using Kangerade 5.0.3 which ran perfect...i might try reinstalling it again and see if i have the same problems.

I did a wipe before installing this rom as I've been doing with other roms. The rom i'm trying to install is the Smoked themed one.

Edit:

Just did another wipe and i'm having the same problems with market and the browser crashing. Another thing that popped up was when I hit the power button to reboot my phone it went to the Android boot animation and wouldn't get out of it. I had to take out the battery to reset it. My first time using Liquid too.

 

[seadams]

One thing I am starting to see this morning now that i got a few phone calls, is when the phone starts to ring, it is slow to open to the answer screen.

 

[dugwhitney]

Thank you to all who made this rom possible. Everything is working great! Although I'm missing the Voice Dialer app that I thought was built in. Am I the only one?

 

[jackburnt]

Thanks! So far, Liquid's been the best Froyo ROM for me. I never wiped to 1.4, and the only issue I had was LauncherPro kept trying to install and if I canceled, Market would FC.

I'm backing up now and plan to wipe. Hopefully that'll resolve that lone issue.

I'm not a big theme person, but your Smoke theme is very well done. I installed it so LP would be a system app, but I plan to still install it even though stock has that feature now.

EDIT: Any picture for the LP dock skin? I'm curious to how that looks.

I'm pretty stoked about this update. I didn't have much luck with 1.4, but man 1.3 has been running like a champ for me. Battery life has been ok, I'm pretty much on the phone non-stop, so that is to be expected. But, I have high expectation for 1.5, hoping it lives up to the quality of 1.3.

Backing up and installing now.

 

[jzbode]

has anyone tried any of chevy's ulv kernels yet?

 

[slider5634]

Has anyone else had issues running this ROM? I have tried flashing to this ROM 4 times now. Each time was from a fresh 2.1 or 2.2 image -- had to try it both ways to be sure -- and after the install, the phone always ends up in a perpetual boot loop.

I got curious and compared the MD5 from the posted text file with the one from my download and they aren't even close. I've deleted the zip and downloaded it three more times and every time I run md5sum on the file it always comes back 2558ea8999955e75aecdfee38ed3a111, which isn't even close to the one listed in the file. What the duece is going on? Am I just being stupid and missing something here?

Please keep in mind that while this isn't my first venture into rooting, this is my first venture into a custom ROM. So, I may very well be doing something incorrectly.

For reference, here's the steps I've done:
1: Via RSDLite, installed original VZW 2.0.1 recovery image
2: Loaded 2.1 update to SDCard and run update via accepted method -- power + x, vol rocker + cam buttons, install /sdcard/update.zip, etc.
3: Installed 2.2 update with same method as step 2
4: Rooted via RSDLite + SPRecovery_ESE81.sbf -- I did a md5sum on the SBF and it is correct.
5: Post rooting, loaded the 1.5 ROM to SDCard as update.zip, rebooted into rooted BL, allowed and then installed the update.zip from SDCard.
6: Reboot phone and then end up in perpetual boot loop

ARG!!!!

You downloading the 1.5 LFY ROM or are you downloading just one of the themes? The themes are NOT themed ROMs...they are just themes you install over the 1.5 ROM.

 

[omniphil]

What's the difference between the Slayher 1.5 and 1.6 version kernels? I had been using version 1.6, but this rom comes with 1.5?

Not sure which which one I should be using?

PS, How do I check to see if compcache is enabled and running? I seem to remember "/system/bin/compcache stats" (After an SU) but that returns "stats: Not a typewriter" Lol...

 

[ne0lyfeism]

Just finished up loading LFY 1.5 with the Slayher 1.2Ghz LV kernel and the Smoked theme.. and everything worked flawlessly!

I can't tell you how much I detested the battery icon from 1.4, and hearing the horror stories of those who tried the Smoked 1.4 theme made me a bit cautious, but I figured it was worth the shot to get rid of the battery icon!

Clockwork worked like a charm and the Market restored everything.. will report back on other functionality (e.g., phone, wifi, bluetooth, gps).

LFY 1.41 was hands down the fastest and most stable ROM I've ever run.. and so far, albeit only briefly, 1.5 has not disappointed. The Smoked theme rocks and all themed apps appear as they should.

I love my Droid.. haha!

It seems that the 1.5 kernels in this ROM have Compcache enabled on reboot (i.e., built into the ROM on startup), so you don't need to manually enable it.

 

[EAK128]

My twitter app keeps asking me to log in, I log in check stuff, then if I go back to it it's still logged in, but if I don't go on for a while, like couple hours, then try, it has logged off on it's own and asks for my log in. Anyone else having this issue?

This is a very timely question. First let me clarify that what we're really talking about here is the difference between the slayher kernels made for LFYv1.5 (which are not the same as the slayher v1.5 kernels) and the slayher v1.6 kernels.

HERE IS THE IMPORTANT INFO: If you installed a slayher v1.6 kernel on LFY 1.5, and you downloaded that kernel before the time of this post , then compcache will not work for you -- even if you go back and install one of the slayher kernels made for LFY 1.5.

So, here's the deal. This morning, I wanted to see if the compcache would automatically be enabled on the slayher 1100 v1.6 kernel posted in his CM thread. I installed it, went to SetCPU info and saw 0 for all the swap entries, then went to my script for compcache stats in GScript (which I had tested many times in the last 2 days -- and which is exactly the same script quoted above) and got the response "not a typewriter." SO, I reinstalled the slayher LFY 1100 and got exactly the same results. I then restored my boot partition from before I tried any of this (the exact same setup on which the compcache stats worked before) and still got the message "not a typewriter." Of course, this led to the conclusion that not only is compcache not automatically enabled on LFY for the slayher v.1.6 kernels, but once you install one, it screws up compcache entirely for all subsequent kernel installs.

I reported this to slayher and he thanked me for calling it to his attention, said that he had packaged some scripts with the v1.6 kernels to get compcache working for CM and that those scripts are conflicting with LFY (and, in fact, changed the scripts in the ROM that were included to enable compcache).

If you made the same mistake I did, then in order to get compcache back, you will need to reinstall LFY 1.5 and the slayher kernel of your choice (no need to wipe data and cache, but you do need to reinstall the ROM).

The GOOD NEWS is that slayher immediately fixed the v1.6 kernels and re-uploaded them, so this should not be an issue for anyone wanting to try any v1.6 kernels downloaded for here on (see here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/4434-froyo-kernels-by-slayher/page__view__findpost__p__45885).

Slayher, if you read this, please correct anything I may have gotten wrong!

For what its worth, I literally installed 15min ago.. and used the Slayher kernels linked in the first post (I installed the 1.2Ghz LV Kernel). Just checked the 'Info' screen in SetCPU and CompCache appears to be enabled as my SwapCache value is not zero..

Yes, it is automatically enabled in the LFY 1.5 ROM.
