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

[omniphil]

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: Froyo Kernels by slayher - CyanogenMod Forum - Page 7).

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

Ok, I think I got it now... So I will reflash my rom without wiping cache and data... And delete any old kernels I have so as not to use them.

So should I be using the new fixed 1.6 kernels or the ones made for LFY 1.5?

Just link me please to which ever ones I should be using and I'll install those...

Thank you for such an informative post...

Awwwww man ... I *JUST* finished 1.41

Thanks for the 1.5. I'll start on it now.

 

[ghmerrill]

So as far as temps go, is there a range that is "good", and a danger zone that one should be watching out for?

This is what slayer says about which kernels to use: LiQuID FroZeN YoGurT v1.5 (FRG22 Built From AOSP Source!! - Custom SLaYHer KeRNeLs!!) - Page 13 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

Perfect, that answers my question!

I'll grab the LFY1.5 kernels on the first page of this thread.

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?

The voice dialer app is missing. I pulled the app from another rom and it works fine although you don

Ok. I used the rooting guide from all things root. so i used sprecovery, but it seems to me that most ppl here use clockworkmod? I have rom manager, which im guessing prefers cwm. I'm about to switch from 1.4 to lfy1.5 and i went to rom manager to backup this rom. Does this take place of creating a nandroid backup in sprecover when flashing a new rom?

 

[timberbosco]

Like seadams I'm also seeing long delays before I'm able to answer phone calls. I made a few test calls from my office phone and my droid will start ringing and vibrating but it's probably a full 3-4 seconds before the screen lights up for me to swipe and answer.

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.

In answer to your question, yes, I am downloading and installing the LFY1.5 ROM from page one of this thread. I don't know if it's just my PC or what, but the MD5 is not returning anywhere close to the one listed in the text file -- linked on page one of this thread. Obviously, others here have downloaded and used this today without incident. Could someone else please run md5sum on the ROM zip and tell me what value it returned? I'm almost completely convinced my download is being corrupted before it finishes, though I can't explain why.

It does take the place of the SPRecovery nandroid backup (but is also called a nandroid backup in Clockworkmod). You should be aware that your backups made with SPRecovery won't work for Clockwork, so it is a great idea to make your backup in Clockwork before you install anything new.

Any plans for the Smoked theme to look like the 1.4 Smoked theme? I'm not digging the bars at top (too hard to see). I liked the mostly Stock feel with a black sheen.

Amageus,
Did you download the ROM first, and install...then the theme? Or did you just download the theme. The themes are ONLY themes, and need the ROM loaded first. Don't know if that helps.

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.

Maybe what you're looking for is more along the lines of the Black N Bold theme: (THEME) Black N Bold for LFY - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum

trying to restore all of my apps from 1.4 with tibackup. But its doing it one by one. For each app going to the "replace application" ok window..following by the install ok window. When i did this when restoring with my 1.4 lfy it blazed through all of this w/o needing me to stop at each app and say "ok" to the install.. anyone know how to do it that way? I seem to have forgot :/

Did you confirm that TiBu recognized your license (batch restore is only available with a license)? If it isn't recognizing your license, a reboot should fix it. I restored all my apps on v1.5 using TiBu batch restore and didn't see what you're describing. Also, make sure you check "Force to same location" in Preferences, and that you don't restore anything in red font.

Are you running 1.5 Stock with Stock kernel? Or are you running one of the themes/other kernels? I only ask because the nuances tend to be among configs..

That being said, I'm running 1.5 with the Smoked Theme using Slayher's 1.2Ghz LV kernel and tried to place some test calls to my phone. First call had a really long delay, but after that made 5 more calls and didn't see any delays. Rebooted and tried again and haven't had the phone delay issue happen since. Try rebooting the phone (assuming its settled in from the ROM) and checking again...

Did i confirm that TiBu recognized my license? How do I do this. I guess i have b/c i can access batch tab. I rebooted and im still getting the one by one restore, as if im downloading each one from the market.

I'm having the delayed screen response when I get a phone call also. Screen stays dark for a couple rings before I can swipe to answer.

I am going to reflash everything from scratch sometime today and see if that helps anything.

 

[kujayhawks77]

Thanks Liquid and Slayher and anyone else I am missing. This ROM rocks works better than I could ask for and I'm seeing Quad scores of 1790!

LAUNCHER PRO DOCK (SKIN) => DOWNLOAD NOW!
BEAUTIFUL WIDGETS (SKINS) => DOWNLOAD NOW!

what does these do? And how would I uninstall whatever changes it makes if I dont like it?

 

[Yeahha]

OK so this rom is doing well for me so far...only problem I have noticed is my phone seems to be stuttering and running much hotter than previously. I am running the 1.2 Ghz kernel. My phone has not worked with LV 1.2 before, on 1.4 I was running the SV 1.2 and my phone was flying, no lag at all. Would lowering the voltage possibly help with this or is there a way I can raise the voltage on the kernel made for this rom? I want to keep compcache so I don't want to go back to the previous kernel I had but this has rendered my phone almost useless.

Size on disk is 64.1MB and that matches the checksum (I just re-downloaded it to check). What size is your download? Did you try downloading from the phone?...maybe that will solve you problem (although...not explain it )

This sounds like an app is in the background tieing stuff up, and keeping cpu speed high. Can you get a logcat?

With instructions probably, I actually have less running on this than I did with 1.4.
