[ROM][3/21/2011] LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final (No More Changes/Builds)

All Builds are up. No more changes will occur. Massive credits to Kifno on getting the kernel cooked in and also for adding back in the mail apk.
For those of you who don't know, LiquidSense is a ROM series that focuses on speed and stability with minimal bloat, except instead of the Cyanogen approach, this is for Sense lovers. Any apk I have removed can be re-added very easily .
Credits:
NFinite - for damn near everything, inspiration + an excellent base ROM, as usual. He gets full credit for the rooting/installation of busybox/integration of Apps2SD, and the best of luck to him as he gets
ASimmons - For the wonderful optimization scripts. Seriously, this man is a genius.
Decad3ance - Amazing kernel, and relentless drive to give us the best our Heroes can get
TpyoKnig - For the extremely fast FTP so that my Dropbox Public folder doesn't get hammered like an Irishman at Oktoberfest, also for some indispensable help building up the ROM as well
Kifno - MAJOR help with integrating the kernel into the ROMs, as well as adding back the mail apk which I stupidly removed. He understands what he's doing, and we should be interested to see what he comes up with next.
What it is:
~ NFinite's Latest ROM Release (NFX-Sprint.STOCK.2.32.651.2.ODEX.A2SD)
~ Decad3ance's #589 Kernel capped at 691. You can easily flash over uncapped if you'd like.
~ 100% png-optimized and zipaligned + odexed for massive performance and fast startup
~ Fully rooted + busybox (credit for both goes to NFinite)
~ Tons of Sprint Bloat removed (can be added back)
~ Original ROM size was 106 MB, my ROM is only 88 MB
What's been removed:
~ The usual Sprint Stuff (Nav/VVM/Sprint Zone/Nascar/NFL/TV)
~ Some HTC Stuff I felt was not needed at all (a few widgets, Teeter, Flickr, Twitter, Stocks, Learn More)
~ More specific list coming later (if you can't wait, take a look at the Removed APKs zip at the bottom of this post)
Special Notes:
~ Google Maps has been left in this ROM. I could have easily taken it out and removed 5 MB, but I felt too many people depend on it to have it removed
~ Facebook has been removed. I feel the app is garbage, but if you want it, it's just a download away in the Market.
~ Market is the latest one, it includes auto-update.
~ Ringtones have been left inside the ROM since the last time I removed them, people's phone process was crashing.
~ Wired Tether is no longer pre-cooked into the ROM, but it is stored on your SD card. Install with the provided ES File Manager if you wish to use it.
Screenshots:
Nothing is visually changed about the ROM. Screenshots could be put up, but if you've seen a stock ROM before, you've seen this one.
Instructions:
Ready? Here we go! Veteran users probably won't need to read all of the steps.
Step 1: Power off your phone.
Step 2: Press and hold volume down while powering on the phone to get to Recovery..
Step 3: Please please please nandroid!
Step 4: Mount USB Storage (while in recovery)
Step 5: Download and put the ROM of your choice on your memory card:
~ Odex (Faster, Not easily themeable)
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Odex Deca 691Mhz + Sprint VVM
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Odex Deca 691Mhz with no VVM
~ Deodex (Slightly slower, extremely easy to theme)
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Deodex Deca 691Mhz + Sprint VVM
LiquidSense 2.1.1 Final Deodex Deca 691Mhz with no VVM
IF your phone can handle 768, simply flash over Deca's Stable #589 kernel over your flash.
Step 6: Wipe/Factory Reset (I strongly suggest this)
Step 7: Flash the ROM you downloaded.
Step 8 (optional): Without leaving the recovery menu, proceed to flash the #589 768MHz kernel as well, if your phone can handle it.
Step 9: Reboot, setup, and enjoy.
Removed APKs/Widgets:
A fair amount of stuff has been removed from this ROM. You can find all the removed APKs here, just push them back into /system/app: Removed System APKs
Also, with massive thanks to Kifno, the Sprint VVM builds are fully updated as well. He is the reason this ROM is finished, keep a close eye on his dev threads. He's bound to do something big for us.

Reserved just in case.

ill give it a go and see if i can find anything.
Well on the setup if you try and add other email it fc the setup wizard (com.htc.android.htcsetupwizard).

M on it will report

Liquid: I think you should remove as much as possible, and let folks add back what they want. Removing facebook was a good step. Leaving Google Maps... maybe but it gets updated often and will have to be downloaded from the Market anyway. Just a personal opinion, as I am capable enough to remove what I want before I flash anyway.
Good luck with the kernel, if you figure out how to get decada3nce's kernel easily imported let me know? That is something I haven't looked into yet as I always flashed afterwards.
Also, have you seen this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7732407&postcount=223
A few more things you could trim. Probably a good idea to read some of that thread besides what I just directly linked to.
Thanks for your hard 'up-till-4am' work.
By the way, could you share the optimization scripts you use? Sounds like you use different ones that I managed to cherry pick off the depths of the interwebs.
Have a good day!

for some reason the download keeps stopping..

This post and ROM mirror removed as Liquid is working on an update.
File has been deleted from the my mirror.

I got it thanks. but i keep getting FC's once in a while. nothin too major. everything's smooth and everything works. good job on the beta LS!

Since this is a beta, you should go into detail about your FC's if they are %100 repeatable to help Liquid out incase they missed something, etc.
1) Did you flash over a previous install, or do a full wipe and fresh install?
2) What was the FC error message? Was it while an app was running or when you started an app?
3) What extra apps have you installed? Tweaks? Task Killers? Overclocking beyond 691? etc
No biggie if not, just trying to make this rom the best it can be!

I would flash this but I'm a senseless person lol have fun

1. I did a full wipe and fresh install.
2. One of the FC's was with Sense and the other was with the market.
3. I installed Smartkeyboard and Handcent SMS, but i got the FC's before that.
Like I said, nothin too big.

Cool, hopefully Liquid will be able to look into your issue and the other poster's issue with non-gmail email.
I haven't had a chance to flash this yet since I'm at work 12hrs a day till the 1st. Can't risk not having a phone for even a few minutes. Because, you know, as soon as I reboot to flash something the boss will call, I'd miss it, then I'd have to explain why I wasn't able to answer the call etc... I love my job

Have had this up and running for 24 hrs; runs as smooth and fast as the previous stable build, no FC's of any kind.
I'm using Deca's #23 CFS uncapped as I've found it the best of what he's done so far; SetCPU set to 729/245 smartass gov.
Yes, HTC mail was definitely not cooked into this rom, nor was Maps. No biggie on either, I dl'd Maps from the market, and am using the mobile Yahoo Mail site through Opera Mini.

Liquid! Everything is running fine. Flashed your ROM and the Kernel. Restored a bunch of apps, everything is smooth! I'll just need to get onto my computer and install some of the removed apps, as I'm not able to installs some apps and widgets through ES File Mgr.
With the new ROM, I forgot to set my alarm and was late!

Porkrinds said:
It just worked for me. Try this filebeam.com mirror. I'll keep it around for a day or two or if Liquid updates his rom before then. I don't want old versions floating around any place other than the OP's main post.

The HTC Mail app is in the removed apps zip file that Liquid posted on the OP. You'll probably need to use Android Commander to install, I tried with the ES File Mgr and would not work. I'll be doing that tonight.

My mirror is just the ROM. The kernel you can get from decad3nces thread, or from the OP. It's small file size.
Sorry for the confusion.

Gingerbread 2.3..EZ FRankenCYAN (not Affiliated with any) 2708 Radio needed

2708 kernel only!​FR-customMTD is needed for G1 of at least 94Mb system​I give to you my leaving present....it seems to be fully working,no lag and everything working..All i did was add some files,delete some,change some bits in the build.prop and in the updater script.
My phone will be gone from tomorrow so i provide no support,no updates and am not responsible for any broken phones etc etc...
The name....
Called EZ FRankenCYAN because its a bit of all their work therefore i take NO CREDIT! All i did was use bits and pieces from each of their efforts.
By the way i did it all on my Magic so big thanks to Astro File Explorer!!
I have been using this for the last couple of days and get a respectable 4.4+ linpack scores,Please enjoy as i have and as the new phones owner will.
Thanks to EzTerry, FireRat and CYANogen team.Hopefully i wont annoy anyone by putting this up!
Im now off to the Hero Section again to goodbye for now!
Usual stuff,wipe before you flash backup etc
DOWNLOAD HERE!
SIGNED DOWNLOAD
I should add that the onpy reason i have posted this is because i didnt want to feel guilty for not sharing...If i was keeping my phone i would go with Ezterry and Firerats rom as its goign to be amazingly fast and clean! I noticed when doign this that the CM coding in files seems quite dirty,as well as EZ/FR having an autoinstaller for various kernels when you flash.
Stick with the newer developers i have a feeling they will support longer than whoever takes over Cmod!
SEE POST 7 FOR FLY ANIMATION! THANKS TO JUANGIL

thanks for sharing, will give it a try
edit 1: you need to mention that FR-customMTD is needed for G1 of at least 94Mb system (thanks)
edit 2: it is indeed Fast, tested with and without compchache and I see no diff, I'll replace ADWLauncher with Launcher2 to see if still as fast as now (I dont want to say it but it feels faster than ezterry's) I even added Fly Animation and it feels faster "foreals"
edit 3: using Launcher2 now and compcache @32mb Jit on, best combination till now, first GB rom I got where LCD density changer works (130/140 looks cool!) this rom can handle the transition animation really snappy

i couldnt flash it. the zip could not be opened or something :s

Could you explain how you got the Cyanogenmod parts into this otherwise stock ROM? I would use EzTerry / Firerat's Gingerbread ROMs, but I really miss the dropdown power widget and the battery percentage. All the rest I could live without.

I am curious to try this out. I downloaded the ROM from the OP but when I went to flash it I also received an error that e:\ bad zip. Does the ROM require custom MTD as stated by Bonesy? If it does require MTD, what are your settings? Also how is the gmail issue with the ROM, does it loop or is all OK?

it DOES require customMTD as STATED, no problem with Gmail, it has the power widgets on pulldown bar, No battery porcentage
my settings for MTD; 98 1.5 (I have 3.9Mb free after adding animation to framework and Launcher2 to system)

Thanks for the quick response. I am going to up my MTD partition size from 87 2 to your settings and give it a shot. The battery percentage isnt a showstopper for me. I will let you know how it goes after changing the settings.

and... you are proly missing settings.apk & settings.provider.apk if Im not mistaken
and.. if you also want the slide to answer lock you'll need phone.apk & Contacs.apk aswell
and... CMparts.apk of course
fyi, the rom posted here already includes CMparts.apk with most of features working

And no, I did install CMparts.apk, settings.apk, and settings.provider.apk. It worked in the sense that it showed the Cyanogenmod settings and let me change them, but it didn't actually do anything. And then after reboot they disappeared.

It doesnt wok like that i used the CM7 port as the base then added in some of ezterrys parts, this file isnt signed as i made it on my magic with NO PC its a shame ive sold my magic now i would like to continue

What download server did u all use? megaupload AND rapidshare give me a bad zip..

I would like to try it.

I used both megauload and rapidshare, in both cases I also got a bad zip

So it would sem they uploaded bad to them,try the others...sorry

cant seem to get a good zip

Strange that juangil got a good one? When i get to my laptop ill redo and reupload with MD5 sum

It's the fastest GingerBread I've ever seen... But There is one small bug. I'm from poland (you can see it on every my post- language problems )... I'm from Poland and I see, that keyboard layouts don't match (what I type on hardware keyboard don't match what I get. I mean this: [email protected]#$%^&*()_[];',./-=\ signs...). Is there any fix for that? And where is the "?" sign?
Bad zip is caused by wrong digest (signature) of the package. I've had the same. Sign it and it would be ok

[ROM] Ti-X Transformation V3 deodexed 5.3.11

I add the next version info before i release it just so people know what will be changing next update. PLEASE everyone stop PMing, Posting comments about why you cant download the latest update. This is being posted on every rom I make on every site I use Not just here.
Ok so this is based off the system dump. 4-14-11
Thanks (I feel Thanks should be at the top not on the bottom like every1 else cause with out a few people this would never of happened)
To who ever uploaded the Sys Dump
Roach2010 for catching my script error and being the first to install the deodexed rom
mamoulian666 for being the first to even test it
friedgoldmole for installing also and catching a few bugs also
About
This is just a base for my rom. It have been deodexed spent all night getting the bootclasspaths correct and its done.
The update script that installs the rom has been changed to delete system/app and system/framework this is because its a DEODEXed rom meaning no ODEX files are needed so to make the phone less confused it will just delete the old stuff and install the new.
Now this I dont think has been tested sooo Flash at you own risk. Im not responsible if it breaks.
Tweaks
Root
BusyBox
SuperUser

Congrats

thanks man i have had it tested and works small gain and 7mb isnt big but ill update once i get it back

ok right now its uploading the latest fixes.
I added in the update-script for it to delete the app and framework folders so it flashes a clean install of my rom. if something goes wrong you can always flash 1.0 as if nothing happened.

If i flash this, does it include the new things in the OTA update? I assume since it's based on the modaco rom it will have root.

the 1.2 is based off the 14ths OTA 1.1 and below is based of Modaco's
all have root and busy box and super user

Thanks for the ROM, dc13!
Tried 1.2test, on top of MCR r1, it errored with status 6.

ok bumma guess the deodex wont work

Actually the deodex works great, the status 6 error is simply because your updater-script uses Amend code which CWM 3 can't read, it only uses Edify.
You need to change two lines in your updater-script:
Code:
delete_recursive SYSTEM:app
delete_recursive SYSTEM:framework
should become:
Code:
delete_recursive ("/system/app");
delete_recursive ("/system/framework");
Here's a link to koush's thread explaining the changes in CWM 3.0
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=10266810#post10266810
I haven't tested extensively but so far your rom works great with the one exception that the Asus keyboard app continuously force closes - XT9IME.apk. I have no experience of deodexing yet but is it possible it could be done again to try to resolve the FC?
And could you also add Superuser.apk to your next rom please, it would save people having to get it from the market?
Keep up the good work and I think it's awesome that you done all this without a transformer to test on.

wops i thought i did edify. hahaha woops ill cange to day and go from there thanks man for catching my error.
so i take it u r running 1.2? or 1.1?

I installed 1.2 to test after reading the comment about the status 6 as I was sure that it was only the script that wasn't working.
First boot was obviously slow but after that it ran great besides the Asus keyboard.

whats up with the asus kb i cant test till tomorrow or when ever mine is shipped
nm it fcs and i thought i added su woops lol ok 1.3 will b out to night ill make the kb odexed and try that. thanks for doing this man. glad it kinda works.

Working here too, changed the update-script as per Roach2010 and installed over the top of the Modaco rom and it seems to be working great, Asus keyboard is broken here as well but no issue as I am using Swiftkey anyway.
Seems to be missing the MyLibrary app, not sure if that was removed or its something to do with installing over the top of the Modaco rom.
Kinda off top but is there anyway to add a symbolic link from a folder the internal memory "sdcard" to the actual physical card, so for example we can put music on the sd and have it show up in the music app.

ok i made keyboard and the asus kb odexed for now and added SU.
My Library app i dont see that in the area on both mine and modaco's rom anyway we can try to find out what the app name is. the easiest way is to go back to modaco and in the application area find the name there.
once my stuff if done uploading another 600MB then 1.3 will be out.

1.2 is out enjoy.

Nice one, I've been working on deodexing the apk's myself so here's a copy of my deodexed XT9IME.apk for you to use in your roms. The only app I havent done yet is Asus Reader as it is a little trickier to do and I've not got time to sort it tonight.

- added videochat libraries (might fix videochat issues)
- fixed RW permissions for external SD, usb flash
- added permissions to enable more market apps (thanks Reichi!)
- updated ICS apps

Notes, bugs:
If you're still running Android 2.3 and thinking about switching to latest (ICS) version then you should be aware of these (major) changes/bugs cube introduced in ICS:
- application screen size is reduced - bottom status bar is visible most of the time (but also hides in ICS aware apps)
- you need to disable USB debug mode to be able to access filesystem on U9GT2
-MTP/PTP is slow and unstable -> but now mass storage is back!
- Bluetooth still doesn't work (unchecked for 1.08)
- Video chat doesn't work (unchecked for 1.08)
Enjoy!

Official CUBE U9GT2 Android 4.0.1:
Short demo of CUBE's official 4.0.3 version:

Thank you so much
This is based on the leaked (beta) V1.05, right?

You're welcome.
This mod is based on version 1.05 released 2011.12.29. I know there were also two leaked betas before it (12/12 and 12/22) but I do not know if this one is also a beta as download from official 51cube.com site is still unavailable...

Thanks for the info

I believe the official V1.05 was never available, so I am GUESSING this one is also "just" a beta version
Let's hope Cube will make their download available soon, maybe we'll see some differences in the fw?
Anyway, GREAT JOB, thank you so much for your work

Thx will try it out right away

Hi,
really great work - many thanks for this! Could you please post a step-by-step guide explaining what you have done to get this image rooted? Linux Tools for doing this are in place. Is it just enough to include the su binary into the image?
Thanks in advance,

I used RK29xxImageTools kindly provided by wendal: www[dot]slatedroid[dot]com/topic/19808-rk29xx-imagetools-v21/ (sorry about the bad url - still few posts short to write proper urls...forum rules)
Steps:
1. Downloaded U9GT2 v4.0.3 20111229.img, gapps-ics-20111125-2 (google apps for ICS from cyanogenmod), Superuser-3.0.7-efghi-signed, file expert apk
2. Unpacked img with rk image tools
3. Started virtual machine with ubuntu, mounted system.img as EXT3 loop device
4. Removed su from /xbin
5. Removed angry birds etc. from /app, also removed all libs from those apks in /lib folder. I did this to gain necessary space for google apps without resizing the actual img.
6. Added/replaced google apps apks
7. Removed provision.apk which conflicted with SetupWizzard
8. Added Superuser.apk to /app
9. Copied proper su to /bin; added proper file permissions (rws-rx-rx) - this is very important for root to work.
10. Edited /build.prop: added "ro.config.hw_hasbootsound=false" to silence the boot sound (which was terribly annoying me ) and changed wpa supplicant scan interval from 15 to 180s (this probably saves some battery but annoys people with bad signals...but you can change the scan interval "post mortem" with ROM Toolbox...see "build.prop tweaks").
10. unmounted system.img
11. Used "pack" option in rkimagetools
I think this covers it all...

Hello,
Thank you for this great job, I've updated my U9GT2 with your firmware, it works well ! that's really great from you, thank you for that.
I have two questions thought :
- I tried to install Google Maps and Google Docs with the apk, but I have then some conflicts with my google accounts... I cannot use the apps.
Do you think it will work properly if I create my own system image with Maps and Docs apk included ?
- I found your scripts on your other topics, I will test it : I'm currently installing Ubuntu but can you tell me which file I have to modify so as to change the tablet name, "CUBE U9GT2" ?
Thank you very much ! Have a nice day

If it doesn't work now, putting those files to system.img won't change it... Which Maps and Docs apks did you use? They need to be ICS version... Try google maps from gapps-ics-20111125-2.zip pack (see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356228

To change the name you need to edit build.prop file. But be warned! It is very easy to brick your device...so read extensively about android modding before testing the mod on your device (or anyone else's)...
Good luck!

You probably clicked Upgrade instead of Restore.

Hello wackym,
I am trying to follow your steps, and I have a question : which command line did you use for step 3 ("3. Started virtual machine with ubuntu, mounted system.img as EXT3 loop device
") ?
Thank you !

The 4.0.3 firmware is GREAT except that Adobe Flash Player does not seem to work with Opera Mobile. However, Flash does load really slowly in the stock browser though and the image quality is really bad.
To get Opera Mobile working with Flash, I tried removing Flash and Opera Mobile, then installing Flash then Opera Mobile from Android Market, but nothing works. Any ideas?
I also notice that adhoc WiFi is not supported.
Can anyone configure static IP addresses for each WiFi profile? I would like to do so without relying on 3rd part apps.
Thanks!

Alriiiiiight I did it !! Thank you man, you've been a great help ! It took me quite a long time, but I'm really happy
I just have some auxiliary questions :
- do you know how to change the disposal of the apps on the first start ? Which apps appear on which screen, and their layout ?
- do you know how to change the default background ?
I've checked this topic, but it's not very clear... I can't find more info ! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=748095
Thank you very much, have a nice day !

Thank's for this great rom
It's working nearly perfect for me, but would it possible, to get an improved build.prop? (or all whats neccessary to fix market problems..best example is the missing facebook app or the boat browser)
I tried some differnt changes while comparing your build.prop an the one from an ASOP Samsung Galaxy Nexus Rom (also android ics 4.0.3) but I havn't the desired profit(still no changes).
thanks in advance,
greetings

Yes, that would be great ! I'm also trying to do that, but I do not manage to do it...
And I'm also trying to modifiy the "splash" screen, but I cannot find any "initlogo.rle" file on the boot.img, and even more, whenever I unpack, edit, and re-pack the boot.img file with unpack-bootimg.pl and repack-bootimg.pl (when I try to add my own initlogo.rle, for instance) the tablet does not start anymore...
Any idea of how to do it ? You would be awesome
Thank you !

well i found something other^^... would it be possible to get this (Amzon Silk Browser) includet in the next release? or is there maybe a workaround how to get it work with our ics verison?
greetings from germany

Motorola Stock Apps

Hi,
does anyone know where i can get a Full Package of the Original Honeycomb Motorola Stock Apps? Just have a Xoom from a friend here, Flashed ICS from Team Eos, and now he anxious want's the Original Motorola Apps again.
Especially he Stock Filemanager.
Can i download them from anywhere? Or have i to flash back to HC, and backup the apps? If yes, does it work with Titaniumbackup?
So that i can get the clean install-apk's, not the orginial which are integrated into the system?
thanks in advance

Cant help you sorry. But would also like the default File Manager back for posterity. Apparently it is only the non US model that actually cam with the file manager in Honeycomb 3.2 update. US versions never had it and everyone will tell you to download a file manager from the market!! But the stock one was very simple and intuitive so I like it and want it back too.

Hey guys!
I managed to get the file manager that came in the Honeycomb stock motorola, ROM, but I can not install!
I've tried putting the file directly in the "app", I changed the permissions for all possible combinations, and nothing... I've been researching and I think the problem is that such "android manifest" it determines the sdk to target 11 and the ICS is 15 .. but can not edit the xml. I'll leave the apk here, if someone can help: http ://dl. dropbox. com/u/28574144/FileManager. apk

I liked it too, because it was simple. But I then realised it was not tablet optimised, so much slower to navigate.

miss stock apps too

Not sure if anyone would be still interested in this but I got the stock File Manager back!
I've "reseted" my xoom back to 3.0.1 version. The File Manager apk provided wouldn't work but after an update to 3.1 version that nice stock File Manager apk just showed up automatically. No need for apk installation or anything.
Anyway thanks buddy for providing this link!
