Root CM12.1 UNOFFICIAL RC5

I just prefer to enable the navigation bar and disable the Capacitive buttons. I also changed the LCD density from 320 to 260 to get more of a tablet look. I prefer to put the large screen to use by showing more content at once instead of making everything bigger.
Is there a way to just turn off the capacitive lights ?? I can't seem to find it in settings.. I must be blind or something
 
Ok so,I formatted /system before i flashed and now its stuck on formatting system under the box which contains the rom info, should i just wait it out or did i do something wrong?


Edit: Nvm, its going along with the install
 
I have a quick question? to install RC5, do I need to flash back to stock & start from there, or I can flash it from RC3? it's been a long time since I reflash a rom (Acsend days). thanx

No need to go back to stock. Just factory reset(from within twrp, DO NOT factory reset from the settings menu) and flash

You should update to rc5. I got updated switcher & restore zips for the newest version of every ROM now.
 
This is amazing, I am loving this ROM, thanks so much to all those who helped and the Developer(Hroark13), and Mastercheif87 for the R/W files, with those I was able to run the performance mod

Do i need to use the switcher and restore zips by masterchief just to install this rom? Didnt see in the install instructions so just want to know before i screw up my phone
 
No but they goods you full r/w aceess so if you want yo use titanium backup to remove bloatware it won't work unless you use the switchers
OKayy thanks, well im installing now without the switcher and restore zip. Is it normal for it to say formatting system forever? lol but what about installing xposed and gravitybox?
 
I installed "Swiftkey", the keyboard app and everytime my phone received a call it went psycho. When the phone rang the keyboard would pop up covering the reject or recieve buttons. You couldn't hit either one. Uninstalled Swiftkey, and things are back to normal. That' the only real thing anywhere near close to a bug I have come a cross. That could very well just be the app vs lollipop too. I normally run swiftkey so I know it was stock compatible.
I doubt its a lollipop thing, ive used swiftkey on all 30+ android phones ive had and many on lollipop
 
just wanted to report that all of the LP ROMs are decreasing my battery life. after reverting to butternoob2 i can confirm this. i have seen people reporting better battery life but i dont see it.
 
so when i flashed sdk 22 zip, then installed the apk. still gives me that xposed framework is not installed. Please help
 
Hey guys. First thanks for the work, awesome. Anyone having any GPS troubles tho? In on RC5 with the metro model coming from 4.4.4 stock. It either takes very long to fix or just won't. I have GPS status installed. It downloads the agps fine, and if the display numbers are correct I could have a fix to like 11 of 23 SATs and still not have a location fix available. I also have the GPS filters off. Any thighs would be appreciated :)

Thx
