Liquid Wants to Know: what do you want to see in LFY 2.0?

[GirLuvsDroid]

Listed above are some things I've seen in the forums that LFY users would like to see. So I'm putting it out there: vote for the options above that are most important to you (you can choose as many as you wish).

One big caveat: Liquid is looking for your input, but the decisions about what actually will be included in LFY v2.0 will be entirely up to him.

All good ideas..
I would really like the ability to change font colors in for system fonts and widgets.
the color change in liquids tweaks was a good start, but now it has me wanting more control ....

Or just get someone to do a yellow smoke mod for me... lol!

Liquid is feeling very unappreciated again

i would like better battery life! 1.9 was kind to my battery. 1.95 absolutely chewed through it!

I voted on everything, including other- my other is that, for some odd reason, I have to keep re-enabling (manually) the DSP Equalizer, whereas when it was just included as an app I had no issues (except on reboots).

In 1.9, DSP is included as a separate app (as well as in Liquid Tweaks). I just set my DSP settings in the separate app, and I've never had to reset them.

Not reset the settings - but it seems to not enable itself, and I have to go into the DSP manager to hear the difference. Without fail.

The ability to easily change back to the stock theme/a LFYStockTheme.zip

An easier way to change or tweak themes

The gingerbread keyboard

Program icons/functions on the bottom of the notification pull down (like on MIUI ROM)

 

[johnlgalt]

I'm betting LFY 2.0 is gonna be Gingerbread based anyway, so....

don't you just have to reflash the rom?

 

[johnlgalt]

...or restore a Nandroid B/U that you made before you installed the theme....

Ok, but if I made my un-themed backup a week ago and I restore to it, I lose any new data (new programs, phone logs, txt, mms etc) from the past week.

don't you just have to reflash the rom?

I never thought about that. I was thinking I just wanted the theme. So if I have LFY 1.95 with Watermark'd and I just apply the pain LFY1.95 without wiping data that gets me back to stock and keeps my current data correct? Unless I'm running a different kernel, then I have to reflash that too.

 

[johnlgalt]

Which would be why you make a backup just before you theme.

Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't most themes applied by going into recovery in hte first place?

 

[thaDroidz]

just re flashing will keep data as long as you dont wipe....

wipe and it deletes everything

My point was this... Yes, I backup before I theme. Apply theme and use it for a week. Decide I don't really like it and want to go back to stock or to a different theme. Now what? If I recover, I lose data from the last week. If I apply a new theme on top of what I have I'm asking for issues/problems. Thus, my thinking I needed a stock theme to flash.
Realizing now that I can apply the whole ROM, no wipe, without hurting anything will fix this issue.

Personally, I use ROM Manager to apply themes and kernels.
I do boot into recovery when first applying a ROM so I can clear all the necessary things and start fresh.

 

[johnlgalt]

Ahh, only data that I can see being lost would be SMS - use SMS backup and restore.

All other data (including SMS, BTW) can be also saved using Titanium Backup, so you really don't lost anything.

Again, it would be ice for Theme developers / ROM devs to also put out a 'default' them that you could flash back over the ROM, but that seems to be a unimportant in the grand scheme of things. At least from their POV.
