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.

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

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

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.
I'll preface this by saying I'm a long time lurker and I'm not an android noob by any means. I've had dozens of different ROMS on my Note 4 but only the stock ROM has the stylus functionality that I love oh so much.
So I'm running stock samsung Android 6.0.1 and I'm using a bunch of Xposed modules to get the features that a custom ROM offers back. I've gotten rid of the s-finder thing but I am having no luck with a full statusbar/notification replacement. I hate TouchWiz in that aspect so maybe you wizards can help me.
Is there a workaround to replacing the statusbar with a stock/ASOP statusbar?
I found an Xposed module, "Android N-ify" that gives me the notification look, but it completely breaks the statusbar
I have the same problem because the stock samsung status bar doesn't cover the whole screen but the notifications used in android N- ify do
Hello
Long time on I9300, upgraded to OP3 yesterday.
Previously I used to try a lot of customization on SGS3, xposed, zooper, themes . I stopped and installed stable Neatrom 8.0st due to degrading performance of I9300
My OP3 is on stock (3.2.7). I have rooted but would stay on stock rom for some time.
Not sure, how much I am out of loop. Need pointers on how to customize - status bar (center clock), useful widgets, themes and icons etc.
Appreciate your advice.
Hello,
Curious to know if there are any xposed modules available where I can change the colour of the battery icon, or individual status bar icons for Lollipop and above?
I do like Gravity box, but that will only colour all of the icons and not individual ones. Other than that, I can only find a few custom roms that will do this but of course I'd rather have a stock rom with a mod installed if possible.
Thanks,
I'd rather use FLAT STYLE BAR xposed module..with that you can change every aspect of the status bar icons.
Where is the download button

M8, he was asking for suggestions!!! Read it again...
If you're asking about Flat styled indicators then here is the link for the module - http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-flat-style-bar-indicators-t3000029
Thanks for the suggestion.
I believe I have used that xposed mod before, probably about 12 months ago. I tried it on GPE 5.1 but found it never used to change the battery icon in anyway. GPE is pretty close to stock aosp, all be it a few htc additions.
Perhaps I should try again as 12 months is a long time and new releases have no doubt been released.
Hi all Zp5 users
im having this cool chrome phone for about a year and after flashing nougat i found that this phone and this forum lacks modding and Roms !
the problem or i mention it as a problem cause seems every body are cool with that , the problem was not clear on MM cause there were lots of xposed modules which changed every thing even you could have a new rom !
But here in nougat i had to search for days to know how should i compile and decompile any apk to have just a clock centered cause i didnt want to use any other 3rd party apk , i think this is absoloutly the goal of creating xposed , otherwise everyone knows that there are plenty of 3rd party apk which drain more battery -_- there are lots of statusbar replacements but everyone knows that nothing like stock is stable enough.
scince we all waiting to have xposed framework on nougat , what if some people start moding some cool mods of personalisations for this phone , i can mention number of mods that i searched and commented and asked to have them for mine ,
-center clock
-battery indicator change or remove the indicator and just have percent
-the most mod i want is somthing to merge network signal icons cause im dual
-resizing the notifications
-rounding the recent
-rounded notifications in expanded notification area and lock screen
-any similar app like lolistat to change the color of notification area but non xposed
-any thing just a little similar to xposed edge pro
and so on....
And the most interesting thing for me is that whole the world is satisfied with the look and whole the stock rom cause we dont have many custom roms.
what is going on?
are our modders and cookers kind of in a middle of other businesses and married or something and they dont have enough time?
so where are the younger ones? where is all that excitement about roms modding and so on?
are we just stock on waiting for useless stock updates for ever?
what if there is no other version of xposed for future updates?
