Carbon ROM
Liquid Smooth ROM
I am currently running Liquid Smooth, but I'd like to know the difference between the two. I asked in the thread but no one responded to me any help would be greatly appreciated!
Try them both out and see which you like best! I use CarbonRom & love it. I can't really tell you about LiquidSmooth though because I only tested it once a few months ago.

Read the OP of the rom and/or flash it and find out for yourself.
I like to break stuff!

It's a little difficult to list all the features. I really just suggest you make a nandroid backup of your current setup & then flash CarbonRom to try it out for a little! Then you can always go back if you don't like it since you made a backup.

I'm currently on Carbon v1.3, but I think the differences between the two are nominal at best.
This is directly from the CarbonRom goo.im page:
Android 4.2.2
PIE
Xposed Framework (May cause stability or performance issues - use at your own risk!)
Comprehensive speed enhancements, including Linaro -O3 and processor-specific optimizations
Unofficial Voodoo Sound support on Note 2 and i9300 devices.
Option to hide lockscreen hints
Carousel lockscreen
Customizable lockscreen buttons and sliders
Chronus clock widget
Customizable hardware and software keys
Transparent navbar and status bar
Customizable navbar ring
Navbar arrow keys
Navigation bar widgets
Customizable power menu
Notification power widget
Notification brightness adjustment
Customizable quicksettings panel
Statusbar mods including center clock and color
LCD Density
Theme engine
Quiet hours
Volume rocker music controls
Full Rotation
Customizable battery and notification light
More that haven't even been mentioned, and more to come!
I know that Liquid doesn't have a feature list or changelog on their xda thread, but I have used it in the past. When I look at the list of items in CarbonRom, I can't see any that weren't available in LiquidSmooth. Maybe PIE wasn't available, I honestly can't really remember (I don't use it on CarbonROM anyways, any place I docked it would mess up one of my normal actions).
In my opinion, they're both extremely smooth, have excellent battery life, and are being developed. I personally like flashing updates more than the normal person (which I know could very well be a bad thing), so I went with Carbon since recently the updates have been more frequent (I have held off on 1.4, though, since I've heard of some issues in it that would affect my everyday use).
Anyways, as most people on here have already said (in much fewer words than I've used), any differences are minor and as long as you TB and Nandroid backup your stuff, you should be able to test-drive both ROMs in an afternoon and see which one you like.

Thank you. I was reading through the thread and I also saw a lot of problems with the new version. So I think I'll hold off. Plus the fact that Liquid is coming out with a huge update by the weekend!
If you're a fan of the cLock, CarbonRom's version isn't completely functional.
Hello,
First of all i would like to thank the developers of the roms mentioned in this post for their work, all three roms are awesome and i do not mean to offend anybody by this post.
I have an idea to combine three of my favorite roms, as every one of them has something that the other two are missing, my question to the community is : how to do it?
All these roms run on android 4.0.4 so i hope that it is doable
Namely I would like to have
-camera and especially camcoder functionality from andromeda, <since camcoders are usually broken in most roms i suppose this one will be too difficult to do>
-overall look, especially the low profile cancel/confirm buttons and status bar with drop down menu and settings widget from andromeda,
-automatic brightness control from aokp ics milestone v6(the one where you can adjust your own settings for each lux value),
-trackpad2wake from nikez lente ics
-long press back to kill app
I would like to implement these features into milestone or nikez lente rom since they are more stable than andromeda.
I do not need a complete solution just some pointers on where to look for files responsible for these features and how to apply them into the rom zip file so that it would all work together.

Announcement
Starting from now, I'm gonna be building ROMs (Unofficially supported) using a build server,
which means I'm gonna be able to provide you updates more frequently and uninterruptedly
But in order to afford for the server's renting cost, I need your help with that,
I'll be providing this announcement in all ROMs' threads that were made using the server,
and I'll be adding a directly donation link to the server here and in my signature,
hoping that you guys would donate so that working on this server will continue
https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=GR5YFRU7FCVT6
Here is the server's website: GothDroid.com
and here is our G+ page: GothDroid - Team for Xperia
And thanks to @necrotic-nosphe for his great work on maintaining the server
and to @Alx31TLse for his great help and for introducing me to the server
ROM's I'm planing on Building through the server for now are: Omni, Carbon, Dirty Unicorns, DarkCyanogenMod
Thks @OmarEinea

Hi,
I saw you are handling most of the ROMs for Z1 Compact. I think, in my opinion, that all would be interested in Resurrection Remix ROM.
Can you please have in mind creating a new release of it?
Thanks.

I'm interested in it too, though the project is dead until the release of Android Lolipop (as the project dev said) which gonna be on 3 Nov
which means the project should be back to life in less than two weeks (lets hope so at least :angel

Omar.

I´ve tested it, it´s very nice rom, big problem with stock is all bloatware,custom roms are overloaded with settings of all kind. Dark CM has only the best, like it. Only problem for me is how to freeze the built in performance controller, i prefer faux or trickster
the rom works fine! no issues! for me the best rom for the Z1C (phone from my grilfriend)
big thx :good:

Great. Because this is an awesome ROM. Can't wait to have RR ROM and Lollipop on the Z1C
You can count on me for testing regarding this

Salam Omar,
I just picked up the phone this weekend. Wonderful ROM.
I'm having a FORCE CLOSE on the menu button (square) with the newest release.
I'm also having issues with the camera button on the phone, quickly turning on the screen to display the camera with a pin enabled.
Otherwise, terrific work!

Hi Everyone
Sorry if this question has been asked before but Is there any kind of like universal app that gives you some decent rom customization options.
In the past alot of the roms I have used (2 I can think of off the top of my head are Superman rom and Omega rom)
have come with a really nice simple sister app for the rom that give you a load of options to change little things like notification bar icon colours, quick tiles colours, battery icon etc.
But most of the s9 roms don't seem to include anything like it, I have tried substratum, a theme creator app and swift installer but they all just seem like a ball ache and nothing comes out looking good compared to how easy I could customize my s7 edge with the included superman rom settings app.
Anyway I'm using SoLdier rom at the moment i love the rom but just wish it had a handy little app with some sertings to olay with too, I did look at Crdroid as I think that has an app to go with it but I'm worried I'm going to loose my Samsung experience and iris scanner functionality if I install Crdroid instead.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Cheers ?
Well I know you can get most of the customizing features from Xposed. Most of the extra features from Superman rom and Resurrection remix are all features you can get from xposed apps like GravityBox and flatstyle bar indicators.

Oh yer I probably should have mentioned I'm aware of xposed and have used it alot in the past but i really like Google Pay and online banking and when I tested xposed on this device I couldn't pass magisk safety net
But thanks for your input ?
Hello everyone
Google is seemingly in the process of removing navigation bar completely as per recent videos showing version of Android Q. That's sad because gestures are still limited.
Smartbar has been there since marshmallow days and is in my opinion better than gestures. The creators Dirty Unicorn have released its source amd i m enjoying it on pie based Havoc OS. Unfortunately not all ROMs support or provide this feature.
Is there a way to make smartbar an installable app?
