Root [Boost Mobile] [ROM] Official LiquidSmooth Nightlies!!

I know there is an area for LS updates just not sure where. Anyone happen to know where in the settings its located at?

I had one update but refused it and turned off notifications until I found out if I liked the rom or not. I'm loving this rom so now I'd like to see what updates are available as aposed to doing it via a web browser.

If you mean about the unicorn mod, I haven't used that mod, but it should be the same as any other move to system folder. I use viper4android sound modification mod and for it to work correctly I have to move it to the system/apps folder then reboot, otherwise it never sticks.
Sorry I couldn't be more help but I am thinking it would as I said, be like any other app moving just cut and paste it into system/app folder.
Most of the apps install under data/app folder by default. For those to be seen as system apps move them to that system/app folder and reboot. That's where the system /OS looks for the system type apps.
Hope that helps


It's alright I really don't like using xposed either makes the ROM Unstable but I just thought maybe someone other than me used it I'm pretty positive it's a unicorn issue he needs to update the app because it works fine on tw but on asop it really doesn't at all

That's very possible. The problem with TW is not a lot of mods for them. Quite a bit more for aosp roms.

What type of mods can you get on aosp roms that you can't get on tw based roms?

Some mods don't work on TW.
With, 4.1.2 TW there aren't a lot of mods for TW but with 4.3 it was a bit different.
Some mods are aosp only, some are TW some work no matter.
That was one beef I had about the mods is the were more aosp than the were TW and I was on TW at the time, and it was 4.1.2 which made it even worse.

The Photosphere is fixed for the Google Camera on today's nightly. Pretty Cool.







Anyone try the new Google camera with the lens blur feature

I flashed the stock gapps. I loved the Google apps replacing stuff I don't use anyway. But my phone kept freezing and I'd have to battery pull when trying front facing camera. Anyone else have this issue. I tired blur. Worked fine for me. :)

Edit: Meant the stock. Or full. Gapps package. Usually use mini. And was running latest ls build.

My battery seems to drain quickly and charge very slowly. I am using the LS 4-11 with deathly kernel I believe but it is really irratating to have 10% by 5p.m after having my phone being used for two hours. This morning I forgot to plug in my phone at 8% and plugged it in for 4 hours and I'm only at 45%..

Yeah I just use the full modular package of gapps and as far as the Camara I haven't had any success with the lens blur feature I tried it when it first came out it just reboots the phone when I try to take the picture lol. No big deal it'll all work out in due time.
Maybe they fixed the blur now and the front facing camera in funky.

I use a modified version of the full GAPPS with this ROM also

I use the PA 0-Day mini modular GAPPS. If something I need is missing, I just DL it from Play. Haven't had any problems with the mini modular GAPPS. I did have problems with the stock package though. It replaces all kinds of AOSP stuff and install the Google Apps in their place. It caused quite a few force closes.

I usually use the same package you do but figured I'd try stock. It replaces stuff I don't use anyway. No force closes except the keyboard but I use SwiftKey. I liked the camera in it. Blur works along with photosphere and everything regarding back camera but front camera freezes the phone. How am I supposed to do selfies on fb without ffc?!?! Lol! Jokes.

LMAO!!!!

Give Cymera from Play a try. It doesn't do video but it may let you get those selfies! LOL!!! :D :p


WyElkins mentioned that the Google camera on Play worked well. You might wanna give it a try. If that doesn't work you might want to try pulling the camera out of Vanir. That worked for me the last time I had camera issues with a LS build. If I'm not mistaken, Struckn actually had a link for the Vanir camera posted. It's been awhile so I'm not exactly sure where it's at or if he still has it posted.

I use Swiftkey too. Best darn keyboard on the market IMO. I like the sizing option it has and how the small keyboard can be moved around the screen. COOL!! ;)

EDIT:

I looked through my S3 folder and guess what I just happened to find? The Vanir camera app. :D

I'll try that one, thanks bro. I don't have issues with the Ls camera but I just figured I'd check out the stock package and it came with Google camera. I have noticed, however, that TW roms take better quality pics. My opinion. Others may have different opinions regarding picture quality. :)

Oh. My bad. I must have misread your post. I thought you were having problems with the front facing camera freezing up.

I've also read where people say the TW ROMs take better pictures. I haven't really noticed.

Thought I'd repost once more

Try changing kernels. There is also a possibility that your battery may be going bad. Another cause may be your cable. Start with a kernel change 1st and see if that helps.

The issue with the slow charging leads me to believe your battery may be going bad. I hope I'm wrong and it's the kernel causing the issue.

Are you using the same cable and plug?

___________________


1st try a new kernel. You may want to do a clean ROM install too. I most definitely would.

2nd try a new cable and plug.

3rd try a different battery.
