SPECIAL THANKS
Special thanks to the entire LiquidSmooth team for building this awesome ROM. I just compile it from source for this device and the ROM would not be here without their dedication and hard work to provide it.
Special thanks also once again to @rogersb11 and @cyril279 for their guidance and pushing me to learn more about how all of this works. They are amazing guys and have been very helpful along my journey to doing this kind of thing.

Thanks for your continued work for our old device

DELETED

---

Reserved because I can.

---

You guys are going to like this... it's amazingly (duh) "smooth" but stable. Really like what I've seen so far.

---

Has all the features yet doesn't seems to slow down. If there is one thing that i miss from the other rom, it is the ability to have full screen contact when a call comes through. For now am sticking to this rom..... Hope I do.

---

Keep in mind that version 3.2 is considered still in beta. Though I have to say I've been decently impressed with it on my S3. It's my current daily on that device.
I'll be updating it weekly, or maybe earlier if there are major changes. So I would suspect that features and overall smoothness and performance will improve as it goes on.

Ummm...don't try to install the Viper driver in the Equalizer settings. Put me in a headlock from whence I had to clean install again.

I'll have to play with that today. It may be selecting the wrong driver, or may not be supported by this device. I'll admit I didn't even touch it when I flashed this build. I can't remember if I installed drivers with it on my S3 or not.
I'll do a factory reset and look into it today and see if it can be usable. If not, then I'll get rid of it in the next update.
Thanks for the tip!

Okay, I just tested it myself and it installed the driver and rebooted with no problem (see attached screenshot).
Instead of choosing to install the driver when the box first pops up (after going to Settings>Equalizer) I chose the dropdown menu and install driver from there. I also selected battery saving. It installed and rebooted without any issue.
Perhaps try installing the driver that way instead of the initial popup that first appears.

Must say when I first flashed the rom, i did install the sound drivers from the equalizer without any issues. It worked fine for me. Even after a second flash.

The ViPER is just an awesome equalizer built off DSP manager. Works great for the S3 I know. Didn't test it on the S2. It's running a different ROM built by some Rogers guy
I've seen so many conflicting things about including Gapps with a ROM. I've seen it's okay for stock based but not AOSP, not okay for either, and okay for both.
I honestly think that minimal should be included with a ROM. At the very least Play and Gmail.

Still not seeing anything about EQ, just gain/amplification for buds/speakers/mic

Right, my same issue actually. I can include it easily just don't want to do anything illegal lol. Working on my ROM and N2 kernel this evening. Might mess with dual boot support support again for the S2 at some point this week. Learned many new things in last couple of weeks

That's what I'm talking about. Basically doubles the output sound volume. I don't use EQ as one wrong tweak and the sound goes to crap lol

True. I used to be a sound engineer and worked with a guy in venues around the southeast. So I'm not scared of tweaking the EQ a bit haha.
