Running smooth. Seems more responsive than the cm12 build.
Stock Camera is giving me a green screen when taking pics and not saving.
Camu works front and rear as well as video.
Stock MMS can't press send button, but that's several ROMs...textra works for SMS and MMS with no APN change..on VM.
Calls work both ways
Sound works

This will be on my phone until it messes something up or I realize I need it to do something it won't do..
 
Great ROM LTE works great. camera only front works not rear that's all

Check out my Ookla Speedtest result. What's your speed? http://www.speedtest.net/my-result/a/1185661248
LTE was not working so I flashed the zv5 radio image and BAM!! Works great. WiFi tether works great too. Both cameras working. That's all I tested for now. Will test more later.
MTP is not working.

You do any thing special for the camera to work for the rear one
 
Great ROM LTE works awesome. Camera only works for the front one the rear one.thanks for all the great ROMs you work on

I did flash the Boost APN fix

Not to doubt you, but flashing an apn fix doesn't make sense to fix the camera. Have you actually tried to take a picture with it? I flashed CM12 and thought my camera was working until I tried to take a picture. The problem seems to be the camera app not being coded for our hardware, not a settings issue.
 
It's beta so some things aren't working and it might have random issues. Whether you could use it as a daily driver or not would depend on if you can deal with what's not working and the random quirks. I'd try it out and see if it works for you as a daily driver or not.

So it's android 5.+
And is it stable for day to day use
Click to expand...
Correct, its 5.+ I just briefly tried it out and from what I can see its not bad at all, if you don't mind dealing with little bugs and the occational service/data loss it could definitely be a daily driver in my opinion, also to any devs or anybody who did not know, I could be way behind on this but I found a fix to the lock screen problem how it wouldn't allow you to keep it locked, there is a setting called lift phone to wake, if you turn that off, the problem no longer occurs and the same goes for cm12

'm not a dev, I have no idea what flashing the APN fix does. I'm just saying what I did when I installed the rom. And yes, I did take a pic and it saved and I have no idea why, I just know it works.

The APN fix restores the APN settings for the phone, which is how you get service. You can understand why it wouldn't seem that it would fix the camera.

Gotta ask though, why did you flash something that you didn't know what it does?

So... Is it TW based? Sense? I was assuming it was a CM12 variant as I've never heard of it before.

Its basically AOSP, some people prefer CM, some prefer AOKP, some prefer OMNI, and some prefer Candy, etc. etc. I haven't spent enough time on it to say what the benefits are of Candy vs CM but CM is VERY well developed on any phone that supports it, its all preference. I'll look more into it and use it a bit more and I'll let you know the differences between this and CM

That's cool, I'm about to install it. I looked up a couple videos, looks good, and the fact that LTE is working is very good.
 
I've installed it. Camera not working, even after installing the APN fix, also tried Google Camera. Says LTE is on, but speed test didn't give a typical read. This is after installing the zv5 radio and APN fix (in that order).

Any suggestions on improving data speed or getting the camera working?

Otherwise, I love this. Wish we actually had lollipop for the phone officially!

So I'm considering keeping this on as my daily. I have just about everything under control besides the remote. There's just one more issue to sort out... Restoring my app data from my backup. Is it possible to just restore the data partition, or is that going to mess things up? I can just go in and dig out the folders I'm concerned about if need be.
 
Oh yeah, meant to report also that Bluetooth is working and playing nicely with my Pebble. :) Just ran another speed test in a different location and I'd have to day is working just fine.

Status bar clock doesn't seem to want to stay hidden.
I'm correct in assuming that the hotspot function works like WiFi tether router?
