[ROM] Xian (LiquidF) v1.2a [11/1/2010] - CM 6.1.0-RC - MIUI 11.05

[Guest Riekr]

I've installed this rom over 2.100.17 gen1 rom recently leaked and it works fine.

I've some problems: the aptic feedback doesn't work, now my Liquid consumes too much battery: I used it for 1 hour to configure it and the battery decreased by twenty percent, the brightness sensor doesn't work or I don't know to configure it.

Anyone has the same problems?

Does this ROM overclock the CPU? If yes, what should I do to restore the original clock?

Ps sorry for my English!

i have the same battery problems :P(

also... i noticed that bt works but no audio during calls :)( (media player over bt works fine)

right now i have created a "screen off" profile for setcpu with powersave governor wich seems to help a lot but it's only a temporary solution tough :(

[Guest Borkata]

If you tell me which or what kind of logs, I'll be glad to provide those =)

Is there any files to specifically provide here?

Eclair builds don't cause any problems, I've noticed .o.

adb logcat

this is the command you need. Jut use it while dealing with stk and see output. Then save it and post :P

Device reboot when you turn off wifi :P

Device reboot when you turn off wifi :P

Known issue, and it doesn't always happen (about 5% of the time according to my unscientific tests that were basically me sitting on the couch turning WiFi on, waiting 2-3 minutes, then turning WiFi off, rinse and repeat).

However, even though most of my performance issues disappeared after a couple days of use, I've noticed these weird lag spikes that happen, usually when running a full screen application. The device will stop responding for about 2 seconds (screen freezes, capacitive keys and touchscreen do not react), then continue running for 3 more seconds, then spike again, then continue running, and spike 2-3 times more, and then finally stop spiking for a while. I've experienced similar problems with Phhroyo, so maybe it's an issue with the base.

How do you change keyborad to android clasic keyboard?

[Guest henr]

Hey,

I too have a liquid and recently tried this 2.2 build but wasn't so stable as I needed! I hope you can polish it up till its very stable so I can flash it again.

What I found for instance was the known problem with video camera, and the tiny bug that when you take a photo the preview stays green, but its saved correctly.

Even at 725 Mhz the rom reboots once in a while. I had encountered some others but I forgot what where, stupid of me. I even can't remember the one that made flash 2.1 back :s .. sorry

BTW, what is the ramzswap and what is "ts fix"? I see many boot.img with those features but can't find any explaining what they are!

ramzswap can only be applied only in kernel compiled from source but TS fix can be applied in stock righ?

Best regards, and keep up with the good work...

the "ts" fix is a sensitivity fix, and yes, it can be applied on stock roms as well. ramzswap is a block of ram that acts as a swapdisk, things swapped there are compressed so you end up with "more" ram.

I don't know what Xian exactly did to the rom, but I'll compile the latest nightly from Cyanogenmod tomorrow and see what I can fix myself, should work better than the build Xian used.

I see! Many thanks.. BTW, I'm just curious, how can you apply those fixes in stock kernel without the source? Sorry, just want to learn.. Many thanks again...

That should work, and don't worry, wanting to learn is a good thing and it can sometimes be a little hard to find out where to start huh...

[Guest Sph1re]

hello everybody!

you have new of xian?

[Guest Delnar_Ersike]

Well, since the FroYo ROM got leaked, I've been messing around trying to replace parts of XianKoud with files from the leaked ROM, namely the Camera. After a bit of testing, I have some good news and a tiny bit of bad news concerning my findings:

The Good: The Camera app from the leaked ROM works almost flawlessly with XianKoud (and therefore it'll work with Phhroyo as well, I presume), as long as the libraries are installed as well. There is no more green preview, the saturation levels are correct (well, for a phone, anyway), and, get this, the Camcorder works flawlessly as well.

The Bad: The Camera app crashes when I turn Geolocation on, and it keeps on crashing when starting up unless I wipe data. I'll try to see if bringing over the GPS libraries solves the problem.

Once I've found out how to remove the Geolocation crashing, I'll post an update.zip containing the "ported" (mainly just adb pull and copy-paste, to be honest :P ) Camera app and everything it needs to be able to run.

Hummm coool Cyanogenmod with this update !! Does wifi tethering work too ?

Wifi tethering is as far as I know a kernel thing.

Delnar_Ersike: I'm looking forward to it, I'm pulling the latest nightly right now, once it's compiled and uploaded I'll post it here.

EDIT: Looks like Xian is working on a new build, as I have no idea what Xian modded I'm pretty sure his release will blow a relatively stock CM6 out of the water.

EDIT: He's actively working on it, so lets just wait for Xian :P

Cyanogen Mod for Liquid cannot run game "Angry Birds"?

I have installed and run then no anything happens

thanks

[Guest Delnar_Ersike]

Ok, I gave up on trying to modify the Camera apk to remove the ability to toggle Geolocation (koudelka and Vache told me on IRC that the crashing is caused by a missing method in the framework, caused by I assume an incompatibility between Acer's FroYo ROM and CM6), so just don't enable Geolocation with this zip. It'll cause the Camera to FC every time it's opened (Camcorder still works though). To fix it, you'll have to Clear Data for the Camera app.

The zip:

Xian will probably have a new version of the ROM up soon, though, and I trust it'll have working geolocation.

@myesterious: I know, it sucks. :P Still, there's a reason it's still in Beta...

Thnks for the link. Ye, your're right, I searched in many places and didn't find it anywhere, never thought that ts stands for touchscreen :P ..

BTW, I read that compcache is meant to be compiled as a executable along with two kernel modules, but, for what I see, does activating ramzswap really improve performance with the swap on the sdcard?

BTW, I remembered why I quit using xian rom, the proximity sensor and light sensor didn't work! Maybe there was some option to activate it somewhere, but I didn't find it in the middle of so many options/tweek options/spare parts, etc etc..

Many thanks for your help...

Could someone please tell me how I can prevent the mobile from unlocking when I press the Menu key? :P

ps: thanks for sharing the camera!!!

[Guest henr]

Well, from my tiny little research (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547752), I found that using compache is not so good as it looks because it causes overhead to the processor. Not the same phone I know, but the guy says that without compache the phone always seems faster.. Hum...

compcache disable here for exactly the same reason :P

using a swap partition on sd seems to be faster for me.

[Guest Quipeace]

Just a little status update, there are some problems compiling the latest cyanogen build so it's probably going to take a little longer.

Settings > CyanogenMod settings > Input Settings > Last ( down ) setting is : Menu unlock

Should be that ( never tried bc I prefer not to unlock in this way ) .

little warning, unlike what you "guessed" earlier it doesn't work on phh's froyo build.

Xian LiquidF v1.2, Camera fully working, full camcorder (800x480 @ 30 FPS), with geolocation working, working on WiFi Tethering, new CyanogenMod build (final release from Cyanogen's git), and I'm working on the proximity sensor, although phh does know better than I do, I'll do my best. :P

Expect it by Sunday.
