Awesome job again, @whoshotjr2006!
All the effort you're putting into this is amazing! Thanks for everything!
I flashed the new build and wanted to point out two things:
1. I have one of those difficult Volts, but my camera actually works on this ROM which is amazing.
However, the back camera now has a greenish tinge to it. I tried switching from CM stock camera to the new Google Camera app, by the issue is still there. Anyone think it's a white balance issue?
2. Also, has anyone gotten FM radio working?
Otherwise this ROM is rocking!!!
Thanks again and awesome work!

Trying this out, so far it's good! But I've noticed two things.
1. My rear camera also has a green tint, in the stock app, Camu, and Snapchat (and probably everything else).
2. The double tap on the screen to wake up feature isn't working, even though it's in the CM settings. It works to lock the screen, though.
EDIT: Couple more things.
3. Video playback on Snapchat does not work for me.
4. Every once in a while (very rarely) the music playback stutters or makes a funny noise.

Hey great job whoshotjr2006, I've used decaf and this on and off aswell as cm12. Does this have USB OTG now or does cmmod in general not support OTG? And I know NFC has been supported for a while but when I tried to program an NXP NFC Sticker it would fail. Syncing or bumping with NFC works tho. And just one more question, what is the difference between this and deCAF? I saw that you posted in the dev thread stating that deCAFing the sensor modules would cause them to work, I was interested in what that means.

I really really wanted to love this rom but I had issues.
Youtube fails to play some videos, not all of them but some. On some of these videos the ad before the video played fine but the main video failed to play, errors out "lost connection with server". Leads me to believe some video codec isn't implemented.
There is no FM support.
Inside the camera app there is no video recording and when I messed around with the codec to record with it crashed. Again I think there is some video codec issue in this rom.
That is pretty much what I found so far.
EDIT: This is one video that would not play in the youtube app.

I've been using this for a day now and no issues except camcorder does not work. Snapchat pictures are working, but recording and playback do not. No green tint on camera either. Using Camu for recording, but I rarely take videos anyway. I haven't found anything else that is acting up. I did come from the ZV4 rom, so not sure if that changes anything. Just thought I would add my experience to the list.
So now that I've spent awhile on this ROM I have to say it is running very smooth. I have the same usual problems as everyone else except the green tint on camera. I had a moment where YouTube didn't want to play but I restarted and it was fine. Idk if it was the ROM or what. And the only main problem I have with the ROM so far is the sound. The audio is just so much quieter through speaker and headphones. Running good though keep up the good work!
For the speaker problem download "Viper" it fixes audio for any rom

Hell I'm even curious if the ip cam app works. That would be cool.
You mean taking videos if so use camu it works for me. I just have problems with other apps and video playback
I believe the developers are currently working on it. On deCaf rom they got video playback working so i think they can do it again
Not yet lol im pretty sure it works unless a youtube video doesn't play

Well one can never be too safe. I'm afraid to try this ROM. Tried cm12 and it was a bitch to get 4g back on stock.

no it doesnt, and im pretty sure it doesnt work any any of the other roms but stock. i included keyhandler to try to fix it like bad_mofo tried, but it didnt help.

yeah green camera preview is in the kernel somewhere. im thinking older and newer volts use different image sensors which is causing the issue since the caf kernel doesnt have everything the stock kernel does to combat the issues. im looking into solving this.
i need logcats from videos not playing. i cant fix the issue on an app that i dont use. send me a logcat when it happens so i can see whats happening and attempt to fix it.
no usb otg, thats a tough one to implement. no volt rom has it yet, or volt kernel for that matter. im not sure the optimus l90 (our sister device) has it yet either. and nfc is kind of wonky at the moment, its missing some stuff that it needs to work 100%. the only problem is I dont have any nfc stickers or anything like that to test with, so if you try to track the problem down with a logcat when attempting to pair to a sticker, send it my way and ill look at it.
what i meant by decafing the sensor modules is to rip stuff from the stock kernel to replace in the caf kernel to better support our camera sensors to try to get rid of the green tint.
i think the youtube issue may have been with your connectivity, i have not had a problem playing a youtube video yet. also, im not quite 100% sure fm was working in any other caf cm11 rom before. if it was, i didnt mess with anything to break it so im not sure why it wont work. camcorder not working was already addressed in the op.
also i played that video on my boost volt and didnt have an issue. like i said, check your connectivity to the internet for issues, be it through a router or weak signal on 3g/4g. also send me a logcat if you get another video not working.
you can send me a logcat so I can attempt to see whats missing. log the pairing of your phone with your sony radio and send it my way so i can see where it broke.
im on a boost volt and 4g is working great for me. also, i also have a virgin problem volt so i cant say for sure whether 4g works on virgin, but 3g-ehrpd and 3g-evdo worked fine on it for me.
thats a cm12 issue. for some reason something is breaking certain 4g radios when flashing cm12. cm11 has been (afaik) immune to the issue the whole time.

I formatted everything, installed the new zip, and I tried playing the youtube videos that had given me an error, same issue occurs. FM does work now though. After trying to shutdown my device it rebooted on it's own without touch, any ideas why that happened? Included is the logcat from the Youtube attempt and the shutdown attempt.

Nvm, opened up on my phone and it wasnt showing the full logs. They seem to be whole on my pc though. My bad. Ill check em out.
For anyone who doesnt know:
Run the following in command line or terminal:
adb logcat > log.txt
The best way to capture a log is to wait until the system fully loads. Don't log from boot unless you need to because log cat cuts off at a point and then you have to do it again.
Once system is fully loaded, then run logcat and while its running (in this instance) open up YouTube and try to play the video that wouldn't play right. After you have confirmed it isn't playing or exhibiting expected behavior, then stop the log cat and upload it here to me.
Edit: also, please post the URL of the YouTube video so I can test too. The video you embedded in the above post worked for me, but that's embedded and not the YouTube app.
