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

Sounds more like a baseband issue than anything else - what baseband are you using?

It is C_01.43.01P

 

[johnlgalt]

A lot of folks with the newest OTA updates (aka FroYo aka FRG01B) have reported trouble with WiFi and 3G - I'd first try a factory reset. It seems to be hit and miss, but a lot of people I have advised to use a factory reset have reported that problems were solved....

I am still curious if the baseband update that came with FroYo OTA updates also did some strange things - might be time to start suggesting that people start manually updating the baseband from Pete's site as well....

Just flashed the rom. I love the layout< well what I can see of it. I dont have a settings icon or can get into my phone settings to click on to allow me to restore all my apps and settings. Any ideas?

I feel the need to come back here and express something that makes me a bit shamefaced.

I had read a bit here and there about the Slayher kernels and the new 'interactive' Scaling method. Of course, I didn't try it - but I just read a post on here where a user said it made a huge difference.

OK, WTH, let me try it.

All of my lagginess has gone away. As in pulled the best harry Houdini I have ever seen with my own two eyes. As in "Wow, I should bottle this stuff up and market it to Jenny Craig and Weight Watchers! I'd be a gazillionaire in 2 days flat!"

Up until now I have been running the stock kernel b/c I simply have not had the time to try out a more powerful kernel - and I was getting frustrated beyond measure at the issues I had with the ROM:

1. Twitter app always forgets my login upon a reboot / battery pull (and I am performing battery pulls not b/c of issues, but because battery drain was rather high, see #2, and so I was physically replacing the battery with a fully charged one).
2. The battery life has gone to horrid on my phone - I cannot get 6 hours of a day, an this is with advanced profiles in Locale turning things off that I don't need (a first for me since I moved to FroYo).
3. On every boot, the phone is laggy as HE|_|_!!!!!!

OK, #3 is dead, hopefully #2 will be as well, which leaves me with #1 - and the fix for that is simple - remove the twitter app that comes with the the Smoked theme and install the default Twitter app....

So, all in all, LFY is once again an awesome ROM on my phone.

Now, if I could just get my hands on LFY 1.6.....

Sadly my phone has gotten laggy again over the past few days. I've also noticed that WiFi has gone from a "man I wish that didn't use so much battery" to "Did I even have a battery in there?"

I've pretty much stopped using WiFi altogether.

The lag had seemed to go away after I removed the SetCPU widget from my phone, but then by the end of the day I couldn't launch anything without waiting a good 5 seconds for it to come up.

I'm running the Slayher 1.1 kernel at 1.1GHz, and at times the phone is blazing fast, but others it's just laggy as hell. The delayed phone calls have reappeared as well - even when my screen is active.

I'm going to make a go of removing some apps like the Weather/News that keeps launching, and a few other apps that seem to keep starting for no reason and see if that makes a difference. Right now though I'm really looking forward to 1.6.

*EDIT*

So after removing the GenieWidget, Twitter, and AmazonMP3 (kept launching on its own), I rebooted the phone and it's blindingly fast again. Wondering if it will keep up like this.

i'm just curious how many times did you wipe
each type of partition?

lololololololololololollolololololololololololololololo

SigmunDroid...I don't think he's laughing at you...there is a back story here and some friendly disagreement about wiping partitions multiple times and whether or not it is actually better than wiping once. Haha!

LMAO ... You know, this is flash memory we're talking about. Theoretically, once a bit state has been changed to 0 or 1 it's permanent (minus the effects of extreme age without any applied power). This isn't like a HDD where heat can affect the stability of bit states (See superparamagnetic effect).

I suppose it all depends on the level of wiping it's doing. If it's only wiping the partition table, the data is still there; the OS just can't read it because it has no reference on how to convert the string of bits into something usable. If it's actually rewriting the partition with all 1's or 0's (essentially a full wipe) then there's no data there at all. In either case, you should only have to perform the wipe once. The only way you'd need to do it again would be if the utility performing the wipe is wholly inadequate and isn't doing its job.

Not to rehash this...but I'll give you my take and people can do what makes them feel good

I totally get what you are saying and it makes logical sense. I will tell you that in my experience, wiping multiple times has "appeared" to make a difference. I wipe once if upgrading from LFY 1.4 to 1.5 for example but if I were completely switching ROMs...I'd wipe each partition 2 or 3 times. Just the way I do it...not saying if it is needed or not

I am looking forward to 1.6 as well it should be dynamite right uB ? lol

Bump, does anyone have any ideas. or am I looking in the wrong place. I have no way to get into the settings at all so I cannot click the unknown sources to install my apps. I did the download through the rom manager, everythign seems to work fine except the fact I can't get any of my apps. ALso can't always get into the market it force closes.

 

[ray949]

Quick question, if I disable the compcache, do I need to change the setCPU setting from interactive to ondemand?

Sorry, I am pretty new to all this.... Thanks for all your help!

No...you don't have to...but you can. Play around with the settings and see what runs best on your phone.

Sorry Wags, I really am not understanding what you are talking about

Are you saying there is no settings icon in the app drawer? Can you press your menu button and then click settings? It's the same thing.

Just another big thank you to the team. I'm running LFY 1.5, smoke theme, and Slayher's 1000 kernel. The phone was rock-solid stable at 1000, but battery life was pretty rough. I would have to plug it into the USB port to top off the charge mid-afternoon. Still with the 1000 kernel, but on-demand at 800 in setCPU and I swear the battery performs better than it did fresh out of the box from VZW.

Kudos to all involved with this project.

 

[johnlgalt]

I have to agree - while the ROM is a lot smoother now, I am getting little idiosyncrasies that I haven't in the past:

Running the 1200 MHz kernel, I know my battery life ain't gonna be grand, but with a jdflg kernel I can easily get 8-10 hours of battery life. It ain't so with this ROM and the prescribed SlayHer kernels on my phone. Then again, this is the bastard stepchild from hell phone that likes Chevy's kernels over most others, so, that is not saying a whole lot....

But, battery life is continually horrible. Since I have a pair of spares, it's not that big of an issue, but what is is that

Twitter keeps logging me out (and I so want to keep using the black themed one - but that is not a ROM issue, that is a theme issue)

On every boot it seems to forget what apps are on the SDCard, and I usually have to FC Launcher Pro and restart it in order to get access to my Apps on SD (and seein as I have ~30 of them there, it gets to where I pretty much have to do this all the time)....

Now, since my first issue is purely theme based, I am wondering if my subsequent issues are also them based - so my next step in the next coupe of days is going to see if I go back to stock LFY and see if it still has all of these issues....

do you have an idea when you will release 1.6?

Hey man, where did you get that wallpaper???

Review - Liquid Frozen Yogurt 1.5


Installation & Setup
LFY 1.5 installed as expected. This rom possibly has the coolest boot animation I

Correct there is no icon in app drawer and I tried to press the menu button and then click settings and it does nothing. I cannot get into the settings at all. I dont know why. I installed it through the rom manager and it installed fine, booted up fine, I just cannot get into my settings.

Did you try reflashing the rom? Might try downloading the rom fresh from the links in this thread and then flashing the rom again. I don't use rom manager to install roms because it doesn't have a choice to format all partitions.

 

[ne0lyfeism]

Not sure what SigmunDroid's issue is.. it's a known fact that no one kernel works with every phone. I was running the Slayher 1.2 Ghz LV kernel and while it was good initially, it started to slow my phone down to a crawl. I couldn't understand why, until I read up on his explanation of CompCache. Tried to do what he suggested in turning CompCache off, but that didn't alleviate things much. Finally decided that I had given this enough time (over a week) and flashed Chevy's 1.2Ghz ULV kernel, and the super fast LFY 1.5 that I was accustomed to was back.

So dude, seriously.. stop with the finger pointing and accept that what's good for you may not be good for others.

 

[Yeahha]

So I have given up on compcache, after 2 days of use without rebooting my phone slows way down. So much so that I can not always unlock the screen while listining to a podcast, if I get a text while another program is going on my phone locks up and takes its sweet time to let me do anything. A reboot fixes the lag problems completely but when my phone is working fine before work and then 3 hours into my work day I dont want to have to reboot. I love slayher's kernels they work great on my phone, run cool and smooth as a baby's behind...but compcache has lost my blessing.

I think you have figured out when I get paid, so I can donate to you on every release....

Have you had any luck getting Stewart's WM'd theme to work on 1.5?

How Is the battery life with these roms??
