Darren, not sure why so unstable/screechy for you. MP3's/Pandora OK for me and fully stable on 3/26. I set I/O to 'deadline' w/set on boot in CM12 Performance settings and SELinux to 'permissive' w/attached app, which makes 3/26 seem to perform like 3/16 without deep-sleep issue. I would try re-downloading 3/26, re-wiping all but external and re-flashing in TWRP Lollipop, then the two aforementioned settings changes before going back to stock KitKat. Good luck!
I'll be pulling for you. I'm also one of the unlucky minority for whom the custom ROMs just aren't quite working out. Aside from the very first CM11 Beta, none of them have left me with working rear camera/flash or GPS. As much as I absolutely hate being stuck on stock Android, camera and GPS are must-haves for me. Feel free to look into the Candy ROM, if you feel like it. I'm really digging its features over pure CM, but that's been the clunkiest one for me.
jfuginay, 3/26 build GPS doesn't work for me, either. One common fix for CM12 GPS is:
Not on my Volt. None of the suggested "fixes" have yielded a functional rear camera. There isn't even an option to *try* to enable it. It's like the phone doesn't recognize that there is one. I haven't tried the 3/26 build, but after having identical results with every previous one, I've decided to wait for a finished product that hopefully addresses whatever subtle camera hardware variations that there surely must be within the Volts that are floating around. Frustrating to see so many people reporting success, when my experience has been much different. This phone's just screwy.As for rear camera, Camu from Playstore fixes that--works very well too.
The CM11 CAF first build worked for me.
If you're running a previous build yes.
Just moving those files worked for me, and thank you for that. What is the added benefit of the apk?GPS fix for 3/26 CM12 build

8: /system/lib/hw/gps.msm8226.so

(eliminate space between .so and .OLD, had to add to prevent auto emoticon)
-------
copy/paste files from attached zipped folder (unzip first, not flashable; files are from Bad_MOFO_33's 3/16 CM12 build) as follows and change their permissions to 644 (rw - r - r) after pasting in some root file explorer:

6: /system/lib/libloc_eng.so

7: /system/lib/hw/gps.default.so
(not an accident: 8 old files renamed, only 7 new files pasted+permission changed)
-------
reboot
-------
Use attached GPS .apk to manage a-gps state (clear then download data) and acquire satellite lock outdoors.
Good luck!
Very carefully ;O

I had the same issue but got it to work. I deleted the gps.conf.old completely then made sure that all the new files were rw-r-r by searching for them in root explorer (they were rw-rw originally even though when I copied them they said rw-r-r). I also didn't install the apk provided because it wanted to flash it in flashify (i flashed it the first time and i got stuck on the boot-up). I downloaded it from the play store instead. Then I checked if my gps was working, it was not. Clear the cleared a-gps data before re-downloading a-gps data. Still not working, rebooted and it worked.
