I really wasn't so sure about the colors the first time I tried Trinity, but they really grew on me. How long did you try them?

I actually cringe and rush to change the colors any time I flash back to a kernel that isn't faux or trinity now, because all the colors look all beige/yellow

I know its user dependent and yeah I can see why as trinity is set so cool blue. It's all my days calibrating TV's and monitors to be "color correct" and the photographer in me that wants 6500K and natural greys

even though AMOLED is not a good tech for this kind of calibration.

The cool blue looks very slick IMO. Maybe the same reason why I have 8000k HID headlights on my car also

You're one of those guys! :car:

Just an FYI, the SU binary in this rom has an update available.

I can't believe how slow the bootup is on these JB roms. Nearly 5 minutes on the google screen. Should I be flashing a new bootloader? I keep reading about a JB bootloader. Perhaps I should flash it? Will it speed the bootup time?

The JB Bootloader pretty much eliminated the 5 min + Google screen for me.

Yes, you definitely want to download the JB bootloader (normally you would use adb to install, but the version I linked is flashable in recovery)

I have Youtube on mine, but maybe I got it from a TiBu backup. In any case, you can always download it from the Play store.

I'll start an official unofficial thread once the next release is out

I dont have YouTube nor will it let me download from the playstore.

Try flashing the latest Gapps from goo-im.

Tested this out and really liked the performance. I'm still leaning towards AOKP, as I need my customization options (such as the nav bar tweaks).

Hardstyle · Jul 27, 2012

YES! I'm so happy they made a JB ROM. It takes 5mins for this to boot up thou?

The last update Youtube that was pushed out made my phone force close it every time I try to open the app.

fam · Jul 27, 2012

Anyone have any luck with any wifi tethers to work on this rom? Would have hoped itd be bundled in like the rest of them.

Native tethering is supposed to work fine. It's under Settings->"More..."->Tethering & Portable Hotspot

It doesn't get reported to Verizon, either, from what I've heard.

@Hardstyle: Are you using the Jellybean bootloader? That fixed long boot times for others. Regarding the Youtube app, try flashing the latest Gapps.

The second time you boot up and every time after that is fine

Hardstyle · Jul 27, 2012

@TheRoosevelt when i flashed the ROM it had the JB bootloader already. The X with the colors right? lol
And Youtube is working fine for me.

Hardstyle · Jul 27, 2012

where do you get the latest Gapps btw?

Outatime · Jul 27, 2012

I just came to this after almost every instance of Jelly Belly. I don't know how they did it, but Liquid is outstanding. The animations are sharp, crisp and snappy.

atrain311 · Jul 27, 2012

The talk a couple of days ago was all about XenonHD and now I'm seeing a lot of chatter about this Rom. Can anyone give some quick differences, whether subtle or not. Thanks!

Unless you have specifically flashed the JB Bootloader you are still using the ICS Bootloader. The X is the ROM loading.

Here is the one I used http://d-h.st/jcO

colchiro · Jul 27, 2012

The "X" is the boot animation, except most custom roms replace it with their own.

The boot loader does it's thing waaaay before that.

ajdroidx · Jul 27, 2012

Just flashed the new JB bootloader. That was quick and painless in CWM

Boot time seems improved already

Hardstyle · Jul 27, 2012

Oohh. Lmao. Well how do you flash a different bootloader? Is it the same process of a ROM?

Make sure you have everything backed up first...

Download bootloader (the one in the link above).
Power down phone, boot into recovery, install from zip, reboot.

Sorry, I guess that was a bit longwinded to say yes, pretty much just like flashing a rom. I did not do a factory reset or clear out the caches.

They're all found on goo.im. Here's the latest: Goo.im Downloads - Downloading gapps-jb-20120726-signed.zip

Safe to flash over what came included in the liquid rom? My apologies if its noobish to ask such a question.

satellitez · Jul 27, 2012

Since the market says my device is incompatible with youtube (wtf?!) i went ahead and grabbed a sexy inverted youtube from trav and voila, like magic i now have youtube. :thumbup:

Slayer01 · Jul 27, 2012

You tube works fine on my device straight from the market. I can not tell u why, but it does.
