I appreciate you posting this here. I'm Unjustified Dev , this ROM is not carrier specific nor is the recovery. It's unified meaning on installation of my recovery or my rom your device name will be detected and set automatically. I have yet to find a fix for the calling audio I have made it so far that you are able to make calls and receive them. I don't appreciate the alternative download links though. I like to keep statistics on how many users are installing this. Anyway we made a build of 5.02 yesterday https://goo.im/devs/Unjust/Gardalte/ still no calling audio.

Calling audio fixed, now to incoming calls your unable to answer them. Also camera is not saving photos , I hope I can get this fixed as well and release another build.

Since Metro is using T-mobile network there's no way around it without hardcoding it to say MetroPCS which I don't plan on doing because this device may go official cyanogenmod at any time.

Hey Noobified, Im posting here because I cant post on XDA yet (not enough posts). I have found a bug with the ROM. Whenever I am in the Dialer and I go to the "full call history" then hit the "menu" hard button, the Dialer app crashes. Great ROM hope you get the few issues in it worked out.

EDIT: I also noticed something else. I use ROM Toolbox Pro for all my root needs, and while the CPU governor, Kernel and build.prop editors work fine, I cant get the minfree numbers to stick. I can edit them and apply them (and Rom Toolbox says that it has successfully applied the numbers), but when I reboot, the numbers are back to stock and it even resets the "custom" numbers. Not sure if this is because of Rom Toolbox itself or if something with the ROM is not working properly but I thought you should know.

EDIT2: I am also having a bad problem with outgoing call audio. If my phone is on for a day or so, no one I call receives any audio from me. If I restart, then it works fine.
