The Executive Series theme is now available for LFY 1.6. I believe it's the full ROM, themed, although the preamble says it's a "full ROM just like the other themes available for LFY" -- but of course none of the other themes are full ROMs. You can find it here: [THEME] Executive Series for LFY1.6 - Droid Forum - Verizon Droid & the Motorola Droid Forum.

For all who see this:

If you restore Swype using TiBu, then you may run into problems. However, just uninstalling the Swype app will give you problems - b/c Swype is an IME, and removing doesn't remove it from the system correctly, so if you use the installer to try to install it again, you'll run into an error message similar to "Swype is already installed. Please uninstall it first before continuing."

To remedy this, you only need to uninstall Swype (not the installer), then reboot the phone and finally, run the installer. I have heard of some limited success with folks just force closing the desktop, and one person said to first go into Manage Applications / use a task kill and kill the Swype service, but this method I am outlining works as long as the install is nor corrupted and cannot be removed.

No issues with the market FCing - when installing the ROM, did you wipe as suggested? Did you install the ROM and nothing else, or did you go ahead and apply themes and / or a kernel in the same cycle?

GirLuvsDroid

The music controls aren't on the volume rockers, they're on the lock screen itself.

I tried flashing the 1250 kernal first and I would get boot screen over and over. Flashed 1200 and she's kicken like chicken.
At 1200/900 on demand, 35000/75 I got quadrant of 1780ish....

Hey bro, your post doesn't clarify.
Did you download LFYv1.6 via ROM manager?

-Or-

Did you download from this page, or the one at Droidforums.net?


I've had an issue once before with downloading ROMs
over 3G and encountered issues.


If you haven't already, download from the first page
LFYv1.6 and place it on the root of your SD card

(meaning connect via USB your Droid) and mount
so that you can drag and drop the newly downloaded file
from your computer to your Droid's root directory of your SD card.

Then unmount, go into ROM manager and
"install from SD card"

Be sure to wipe properly, then install.
Has worked for me every time.

Yes

markc2

Also getting Market force closes, not continuously, or every time I'm in the market, but often enough. I downloaded from the first page, wiped everything twice.

gndmepyon

The lack of a Red Theme for LFY has had me debating as to whether to even load it. I'll give LFY 1.6 a try and report the comparison.

On a side note, a Red theme for the LFY ROMs would be much appreciated.

anyone having music mod scrobbling problems or no vibrating notification problems?

The install was pretty much the same. Both installed and setup very quickly. I used TiB to restore apps so can't compare how they both do with finding app based on account. Neither of the ROMs reboots into Clockwork Recovery, which i believe is more an issue with Clockwork. Real world usage they are very similar in felt speed and responsiveness. I used the Slayher 1100 kernel on LFY and Chevy's MedV on UD8. I did notice right off the bat that on interactive mode Slayher's Kernel on LFY was burning through battery much faster than even the MedV Chevy's Kernel on UD was. Got everything setup in SetCPU and then ran LFY through the Benchmark. UD8 scored 1453 and LFY1.6 scored 1451. Changed Kernel to Chevy's 1100MedV and Benchmark went to 1480, Now just gotta see how battery life holds up. Slayher's Kernel was going through 10% per hour.

Appearance wise both are very clean stock. I like the customization features in UD8 much more. The Rotary Unlock and availability of Red themes is a plus for me personally. My favorite theme in terms of style is still the Blueberry theme for LFY just wish it came in red (strawberry perhaps).

Functionality wise the ROMs might as well be identical. It's the little user tweaks and such that pushes me toward UD8.0 over LFY1.6.

As always this is just my .02 take it or leave it.

I have been using interactive on every rom and i get best battery life out of Lithium Mod. I can go 12-14 hours and have the same battery loss i had in 3-4 with LFY. Boils down to different phones working different on the same rom.

javaman70

I was having the same problem and fixed it by reinstalling lfy_1.6 then reboot then install theme. It's all been good since then.

jbulluck

Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to this forum and also new to Liquid ROMs. Currently I am running LFYv1.5 w/ Blueberry theme and it was very easy for me to install this using ROM Manager but I want to learn how to install these ROMs by downloading from the links posted by Liquid on the first post of this thread.

Would someone, anyone please point me in the direction of how to do this step by step?? I'm not asking for someone to tell me how (you can if you want) but mainly asking for direction on where I can read how to do this...PLEASE!!

I want to learn how to (not in this order) install the ROMs, then the different Kernels, then the Themes, then the etc...

I have looked at the link for instructions posted above the ROM and themes but where I get confused is at what point do I install the themes or install the Kernels...I hope i'm not asking to much but I just want to learn and I am trying to do this now so I can keep up with this thread post by post and contribute myself!

Thank you so much for anybody's assistance in advance!!

javaman70

once formatting is done install lfy_1.6 then reboot then install any wanted themes or kernels.

javaman...Thank you so much however, I'm still not sure of a few things so please bare with me for my inexperience!

When you say "once formatting is done" what are you referring to exactly with formatting?

I am really trying to follow the instructions posted with the ROM, Themes, etc thats at the beginning of this thread but when I rebooted into ClockworkMod Recovery it looked at bit different than SPRecovery which I have used before and right there in SPR it has asterisks that I can choose to wipe/delete any cache and data...ClockworkMod doesn't show it like this so I am getting confused there with wiping it clean via ClockworkMod...any advise?

I am really sorry for my ignorance but I am trying very hard to do this properly! I am very grateful to all of you for your assistance...honestly I am a bit embarrassed but I need to start somewhere

Also after I install the ROM where do I install the Themes and Kernels from?? Do I just paste those onto the root of my sd card just as I did the ROM itself???

Thanks again

markc2

I had in fact installed both rom and theme in one swell foop, so I'll try this, thanks.

jbulluck

Ok I figured it out after I got over the fear of messing up my device so much thanks to you javaman70!!! I installed the ROM, Theme, then Slayher 1250 Kernel and man does this thing FLY!!! AWESOME!!!

Heres a question that I have searched for and I cannot find the answer to so if this has been asked then I apologize...I had SPRecovery 99.3, was running an AdamZ ROM Smoked Glass v4.5 prior to switching over to ROM Manager and ClockworkMod now after flashing CwM over SPRecovery I assume SPR is gone??? I tried a few times to restore an old backup made with SPR using CwM and it failed each time! The restores worked prior to switching over to RM and CwM...

Could it be that I did a Nandroid Backup w/ SPR and not CwM?
Could it be that I originally did the backup while running Android 2.0.1 and now I have installed Android 2.2??

Anyone wanting to help with this would be nice...

docdl

I am really looking forward to trying lfy1.6. So much so that in my haste I forgot to move the ROM files from my PC desktop to my SD card before wiping everything in Clockwork. Doh!

I know I can just restore my backup and start over. No big deal. But I am curious if there is another way to do it? I tried connecting via USB to move the files, but that didn't work. TIA!

@ docdl, What happened when you tried to connect via USB?? What caused it not to work?

Rodeojones

Loving this ROM. Just one question (and please forgive my ignorance about this). What is this "interactive" setting available in SetCPU and how is it different (and perhaps even beneficial) compared to "on demand" which I've used with past kernels? I saw it mentioned earlier in this thread.

To be honest I am not sure what exactly it is but I do know that it works very well and really increase your performance!!! It has for mine!! I read straight from the bosses mouth he said to use the interactive setting and set the max value all the way to the right (1250) and set the min value all the way to the left (125) but if u experience problems then try another governor...heres a link to his post (scroll to the bottom to read the one in question)

Hope this helps you!

docdl

I could not access the card. When I clicked on the "drive" in My Computer it asked me to insert a disk. I am still in Clockwork while doing this. Maybe that is the problem?

jbulluck

When you connect your device is there a USB icon in the taskbar (top of screen) on your phone? If so swipe down and select "USB connected" then mount your phone. After this you should see your device in "My Computer" on your PC...if this doesn't fix it then try removing your sd card and putting it in an adapter to insert into a card slot on your PC...let me know if this helps?

PS: Check you're PM's

-AspenSTi-

not really sure where to put this question/observation, but does anyone else get a fc when trying to click on a place when using the map? I'm just now noticing it since switching to 1.6 (not sure if it has anything to do with the rom...).

More specifically, when you do a search in google maps, and click on any of the locations (A, B, C, ect.) immediatly it shuts down. Just thought i would see

seadams

finally got the the phone to read the sd card last night. I am running the revolution theme, it is nice and clean looking, but the font is so thin it is hard to read. my first question is, can I go into the phone and change the font or make it bold? also I can;t remember but do I need to wipe/ reset to install a different theme?

Scott

thaDroidz

Themes and kernals no wiping..

thaDroidz

Mines good. If you are overclocked back it down 100. If I run at 1200 my browser closes out once the temps get warm. It doesnot FC it just goes home. Backing to 1100 works fine

YankeeDudeL

Me too. I'd hate to get lynched again. lol

-AspenSTi-

Technically its overclocked (running the stock kernal with 1.6) so im running at 1000, maybe back down to 900? Either way, this stock kernal does run my droid pretty hot, much hotter than the previous 1200's i usually have run in the past, anybody else have same issue (i know each phone is different...)

YankeeDudeL

Considering we've both reviewed UD8 and are both in the process of doing LFY1.6, I think we'll be doing plenty of comparing. lol

seadams

Is there a way to change the font in a theme? like thru root explorer? I like everything in revolution except the thin font.

UBRocked

Well, turns out that both of us were right on 1.5. Some phones seemed to fly while other's stalled. Lots of testing went into the question of adding compcache back in to 1.6 and once slayer tweaked his kernels again...Compcache isn't necessary.

You won't get lynched...You just better like it!

I'm kidding of course! Speak the truth my friend! You're review last time led to many other people going against popular opinion and claiming lag. This discussion of "lag" is what led to Liquid/Slayer redesigning the ROM/Kernel combo. Proof again, that the ROM Reviewing System is useful...for multiple reasons! None of the testers had noticed any problems with lag during the testing period...

Nah...not doing it. I loaded the Revolution Theme and I'm loving it! Just would like to see a few more widgets themed to match and I would be 100% satisfied (but I'm picky LOL).

Do you mean the Revolution Theme or is there an Evolution Theme that I dont know about? Mind sharing this theme please if so??? Thanks

UBRocked

Meant Revolution...sorry for the confusion...I'll update my post

jbulluck

No problem, thanks! I know you have a lot of experience with this flashing ROMs and such by looking at your post and answers in helping out fellow members so I wanted to ask you if you had a chance to read my post from earlier regarding the SPRecovery and ClockworkMod flashed over SPR then trying to do a restore from an earlier backup without any success...would you mind giving me a hand with this if possible??? I would be so grateful!

Post # is 74

UBRocked

First of all, if you did a nandroid backup with SPRecovery that that recovery would be in the directory:

sdcard/nandroid

Now, that backup is ONLY accessible using SPRecovery. If you flashed Clockwork recovery and installed using that recovery, SPRecovery is indeed gone. SPRecovery and Clockwork Recovery are both recovery images. Your phone can only have one recovery image loaded at a time (and the backups that each one make are NOT compatible).

If you used ROM Manager to flash SPRecovery (located at the bottom of the first page of ROM Manager), then Clockwork Recovery would be deleted from your phone. If you install SPRecovery back on your phone...your old backup WILL be available to restore.

You could restore your backup, flash Clockwork Recovery [B]make a backup using Clockwork[B] and now you have Smoked Glass 4.5 in a Clockwork compatible format.

Does that make sense? Kind of hard to understand at first...but the more you use each...the more sense it will make.

Since Yankee and I obviously have very similar phones (time and time again we seem to be eye to eye when it comes to various ROMs' performance, or lack thereof, and issues related) I think we should be added to the testers list.

(hint hint)

OK, back to the topic - This ROM flies, right up until I push the 1200 kernel onto my phone. Then it starts doing stupid things like lagging a bit.

I got over 24 hours of usages on the initial run of 1.6 - but I forgot that it was the stock kernel. After rectifying that situation I got issues galore - and all of them very very flaky issues too.

1.6 overall still runs better than 1.5 did when using the same kernel, and 1.6 runs better when running stock. I might just leave that stock kernel alone, and leave my phone at 1000 MHz - b/c at the stock kernel on the stock ROM, it is still just as fast as any ROM / kernel combination I have ever used.

2 good things come out of this - I am stressing my CPU less with a lower OC, and my battery will last longer for the same reason.

Now, onto some other idiosyncrasies.

I installed the black and bold theme, and while I like it a lot (A lot), I have to say that it is just too devoid of color for me. Optimally, replacing all the white with a cool baby bluish color I have developed would be awesome - but I have not the skills to do that on my own - yet. I have the tools necessary now, and I am going to take a stab at it and see if it works - but my biggest issue is probably going to be the apps that come installed with the ROM in system memory - while a black Twitter and Black FB looks nice, when I open Twitter an go the the main page the image is subtly 'flashing' - almost as if it is a low power (not low frequency) strobe effect. It gets annoying quickly.

Then, there is the issue that even after completely removing Swype, I could not install it - it kept telling me it as already installed - but that could also be due to the fact that I used TiBu to restore it to test my theory that if you restore all of it including settings, then it works - once I did that I may have hosed future installs b/c of the data that was simply not being removed like it should have been...

Finally, there is the issue where installing the ROM and the theme in he same pass in recovery leaves me with a temporarily bricked phone - another theory I was testing. It starts to load the first 5-6 frames of the bootanim, then cycles back to trying to load the same 5-06 frames, repeatedly. Obviously, this ROM requires hat you install and set up the ROM first and then reboot into recovery and install the them (or, at least it does on my phone....)

I have the stock back on and I may try the smoked theme this time again - I still love the smoked theme a little bit better b/c I want smoke glass effects as opposed to black effects - but the android KB in B&B is by far the best themed stock IME I have seen in a long time.

I am taking a whirl at making the B&B redux, and if that works, then I may make the Smoked redux as well - depends upon how well my image editing goes. If all goes well, I'll try to see if anyone else like it.

Finally, a few thoughts: What could possibly be causing my phone to feel so sluggish when on a 1200 kernel that it is not doing on a 1000 kernel? I noticed that on 1200 when on interactive the phone would get hot pretty fast when browsing for simple things, so it may be the combination of those things and a few others....regardless, though, I am going to try several things different with this second install and see if manually setting everything up versus using TiBu helps me out in the long run or not.

It's 2:36 AM here right now - I might be done by 6 AM with all this lol....

jbulluck

YES YES YES...it makes perfect sense!!! Thank you so much!!! Ya see I thought I would be sneaky and try to copy my old backup from SPR out of my Nandroid folder and paste it into my CwM folder and pray that it would work...well the progies were smarter than I and they won the battle! Lol...

So before I go and do all this with how you explained it which was detailed and understandable (Thank you) I am wanting a program called DroidModUpdater and I know/believe I can only achieve this by having Android OS v2.0.1 on my phone...why would I want this you might ask because I will need to unroot my phone for warranty issues and I hear that this DroidModUpdater is an awesome app to have to root a phone with which I will need to do once I receive my new "refurbished" device...do you agree with this??

I have only rooted a phone once in my life back in March and I used DroidRootHelper which is no longer supported by the developer...I followed youtube videos from "Droid Review" because I found his tutorials easy to understand and well put together by him. He used DroidRootHelper and SPR so I followed in his footsteps...

If you have a better suggestion then I am all ears...and eyes!!

Thanks again, it is the type of correspondence and help from people like you that make this fun and enjoyable for people like me!!! You ROCK!!

inssane

My sentiments exactly. The lack of finite settings tweaks, ala CM6 source, really kept me with UD8 after I loaded LFY 1.6.
Slayher was quick, but sucked battery even worse than 10% an hour, it was awful. Try Jakes 1200 - stable on UD8 and very fast benches.

Thanks for your pennies

ed2000

i would like to say thank you for this great rom..but im haveing trouble trying to figure out how to block ads on my apps ..does anyone know where that setting is at.thank you

jbulluck

Can you explain this a bit more into detail and I will try to help you...I havent seen this problem yet, thanks

Edit..Are you talking about when you search for say a pizza place and the location markers pop up on the map so does the ads at the top??

After doing some searching around I don't think there is a setting to turn that off in fact I read a write up regarding this same issue on that half eatin fruit device and it says Google reserves the right to place sponsored links on the maps...any one else have any input to add??

gotwillk

not sure if this was asked already but...is there a significant improvement from 1.5?

i'm on 1.5 right now and its working perfectly with the interactive governor. i just hit 44 hrs of battery life and the phone was still only at 15%. granted i used it sparingly on and off over those 44 hrs but still, i've never had this kind of battery life before. using the 1.2ghz kernel but clocked at 1ghz.

so is there a reason to upgrade? i haven't noticed any hindrance in my performance or anything.
