Root [rom] 8/6/11 liquid gingersense 1.6

This is my first time running a sense based ROM by liquid. I thought since development had slowed a bit I'd give it a go.
Wow. This is how a sense ROM is supposed to perform. Scrolling through the app drawer is butter smooth (I hate lagg here). I can't speak on battery life yet though as I just flashed the ROM.

How is the the ROM thus far? I am still running Chingy's latest and it seems to be the best sense ROM so far, is it worth switching?

I'm also on Chingy's latest as well..(gingeritis 3D) and am going to flash this in about 10min since my download just finished...I absolutely LOVE gingeritis, so this ROM will have to be just as good or better to keep me from restoring my nandroid of Gingeritis if it isn't up to par lol

I'll post back shortly with my impressions

I love gingeritis 3d also. This ROM is definitely smoother. scrolling from screen to screen is the fastest I've seen yet. It keeps up with my finger no matter how fast I move it LOL. The app drawer is also butter smooth. I'll report on battery use tomorrow. So far i think this is my goto sense ROM. I will try thunderbread tomorrow also. It's my goto aosp ROM.

wow, I can't wait for this to finish flashing, I am backing up Gingeritis now lol...If this ROM is smoother than that, I have yet to see smooth i guess :) I went from BAMF to Gingeritis and I was like WOW.. I can't imagine what this is going to be like...can't wait to see what you say about the battery life.

Just flashed and setup most of the way! First impression is DEFINITELY smoother than gingeritis 3d...my only gripe so far is no wireless tether/ wifi hotspot...and that's killing me right now bc my internet is down at the house, and it would definitely come in handy...


If you used titanium to back up your apps you should be able to restore wireless tether that way. ;) if not search for it. I'm sure theres a link here somewhere. :)

wow i didn't know it worked like that, i figured if Wireless tether came with a ROM and then didn't come with another ROM, you couldn't get it on that particular ROM....I <3 rooting :)

EDIT: Everything else seems great with this ROM so far as well! pretty nicely done IMO, and I am liking the Liquid Toolkit as well :)

Digdug, any overclocking/undervolt settings you are liking at the moment? any particular governor i should be using to further make this ROM better?

I like this kernel so far. I'm using it at 1200 with smartazz. I may try imo's latest sense kernel tomorrow to see if there's a difference. Liquid provides a link to them in his op.

Imoseyon's kernels use speed tweak in conjunction with terminal emulator. It's a bit complicated but imo explains how to use it in his op.

I believe I am using it with those settings as well, if you do try imos latest, let me know via here or a PM what your thoughts are on that...Titanium for some reason didn't back up wireless tether when I did a batch backup, and I couldn't find a link for it, so if you happen to come across that, I would appreciate it..

The only issue I am having on this ROM, is i have no shortcuts on my lockscreen...no idea what's wrong there.

Forgot to tell you, when restoring with titanium, only restore user apps.never system data(in red).

Hmm did you do a full wipe? Data cache and system? I have the usual shortcuts on mine.

Yes i did, wiped all three before I flashed, I may reflash just to see...my phone is getting extremely hot while on a call, and so far the battery seems pretty bad compared to Gingeritis :( having my doubts now...idk still giving chances

I am also trying to change my gov/cpu settings in the toolkit, and when i select something...for example, interactive instead of smartass, i press the desired choice, but nothing changes or happens, still says smartass no matter what i do...:(

My gmail doesn't work, FC every time

sorry jscott, I am not having that issue, I am not sure why your Gmail is acting up, mine seems okay..so far..I am also having trouble changing boot animations in the toolkit, it says running command and then never goes away, I have to reboot to get it to return to the screen of different animations to choose from...I'm downloading Gingeritis beta VI, I was on V for about a week..I loved it, this ROM doesn't seem to be an improvement from Gingeritis IMO, I am going to flash beta VI and see what that does for me.

You might want to hold off on beta 6. Chingy said an update is coming tonight for gingeritis and gingeritis 3d!
