well so far it seems like 2 people have an issue like this

188 people downloaded RC2, so not sure how mnay people have the problem

you should start a seperate thread for this issues, see how many people report it
see what you have in common

if enough people have the issue, maybe someone can send me one of the phones that has the issue and I can look at it

I will do that. I appreciate your reply, and the hard work and long hours you've put into getting this ROM for us!
 
Flashed RC2 last night...
Only thing weird.. Gapps ..
only Google app and play store installed...
I installed what ever Google poo I wanted via play store... No problem...
Things are good.. Back ups restored without any discouraging words...
Lte is on spot.. I just set the first APN to 6... to see of it was still needed...
Calls are not a hassle... One accidental hang up.. But, it was because my face touched the screen in call...

Download an XML editor. Use root explorer to navigate to the system folder then etc then permissions. Open platform.XML and navigate to <permission name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE">
Insert a new element under this. Edit it and replace element with the word group. Then add a custom attribute with the name being gid And the value being media_rw. The new string will look like this.
<group gid="media_rw"/>
I've included a screenshot image of during the edit and what it should look like when finished. If you have system rw then save. If not just save as to your internal phone storage. Reboot to twrp. Mount storage. Open advanced then file manager. Navigate to where you saved the newly edited platform.XML. move and replace the old platform.XML under /system/etc/permissions and Viola. You now have 3rd party app access to save files to SD card that will remain. Enjoy. :) I used Axel XML editor.

##sorry about the double post but I think it's important ##
I think this also enables r/w...at least on Root Explorer it mounts r/w on system folder...please confirm if anyone else is able to do so
*edit*...nevermind it does seem to mount r/w in Root Explorer, but changes won't stick after reboot...

Finally got WiFi working
Wiped everything except internal and external storage, installed ROM, factory reset, installed gapps, factory reset again. Then booted without flashing the twrp and boot switcher zip. Going to flash it now and see if I still have WiFi

you did not tell me you installed a switcher

this is my instructions for this rom

install rom
install gapps
factory reset


that is it, if you install other mods or other kernels, dont post you issues in here
if you have an issue, and you have not factory wiped, dont post your issue here

We need to flash the switcher to have r/w access to system correct? Or am I wrong?
 
Only issue I got after a clean RC2 install and after flashing Redbull is the light sensor is either stuck or really really slow... My screen doesnt change with lightning conditions... All else seems in place!!

Apparently I got confused somewhere, I thought we had to flash the switcher for some reason. Guess not. Completely my fault, sorry for the confusion!

no need to be sorry, and I did not mean to sound so harsh in that post

just wanted to make it clear how to do it, after I wrote that I read it and thought I sounded a little impatient or something
