DISCLAIMER:
i do not force you to flash these roms. what you do is on you. ill try to help you, but do not blame me for anything, especially if something goes wrong. you know the risk, and if you dont know or understand something, then dont flash this rom.

TAKE A GOOD BACKUP WITH TWRP BEFORE FLASHING!

RECOMMENDED RECOVERY:
TWRP lollipop link:
http://androidforums.com/threads/recovery-twrp-2-8-5-0-lollipop.902943/

Working:
Anything that is not listed below

half working:
possible green camera tint, not confirmed with new build yet
NFC needs some fixup, waiting for logcats
Youtube: some videos work with HQ youtube, some dont. still looking into it.

not working:
ir blaster
you tell me

NOTE: Get a gps lock in stock rom or whichever rom you had before with working gps before you flash this. This is a quirk with many qcom based phones, if you dont get a lock before you flash this your gps probably wont work.

Flash the rom, then the gapps package of your choice (kitkat gapps) and then flash either the Virgin or Boost apn fix below.

Thanks to Mopedryder for both:

Virgin APN Fix:

Yesterday when flash the rom the camera opened but did not appear the icon to bring back only the front camera, I'll flash the rom again and let you know
I get no option to put the camera back
Just open the cyanogenmod camera app, try to use the back camera. And while your doing it, take a logcat for me.
I get no option to put the back camera

Flashed the VM APN fix and boom lte shows up and MMS received instantly!
I will check out light manager

Yeah it seems like the APN fixes are going to be mainstays from now on to support both boost and Virgin variants. I'd say from now on bet on flashing them with anything I release.

Something odd I noticed, in the normal CM LED settings, pretty much any shade/color from the spectrum will work for the battery lights, but you can only use a few specific colors/shades for the notifications, and most others just show a solid white light. (Might also be worth noting that in Bad_MOFO_33's CM12 rom, in the light manager app I tried, nothing but the few specific shades for either notifications or the battery lights.)

So is the rom not getting worked on?

It is. Just because I don't upload every day doesn't mean I'm not working on this in the background. I build and test every day, but only upload builds if something new works from now on. Once everything works, I'll probably run and post weekly builds.

I need someone to test gps. I can't even get my gps to work with bad_mofo's last cm11 like it used to, so I need you guys to tell me if it works and upload a logcat if you get a lock. I'll probably have to modify my device tree a bit and upload another test, but if someone can tell me with the newest posted that would be cool.

Also, please tell me if your successful which location setting your using, be it device only, battery saving, or high accuracy. It matters because device only is pure GPS which is what I'm concerned about, if you set it to battery saving or high accuracy its likely skipping the gps entirely and only using agps. Agps is good, but we need GPS working too.

Nice catch. I'll look into it.

Rear Camera does not work for me either. It doesn't work for CM11, CM12, and Candy. It only works on the stock ROMs

Something is funky for a small subset of users where rear camera doesn't work. It works fine for me and some others on cm11, 12 and omni. Sounds like a firmware issue.

I'm almost thinking those of you with rear camera problems should downgrade with lg tool back to zv3 and then use twrp and try again. If you do that, let me know what happens.

I reverted with the lg tool and my camera still won't work on any of those build. Reverted a couple of times actually when I lost lte .

My volt was one of the ones hit by the no lte and flaky radio bug, so I'm currently on a tribute as a daily driver till the issue gets sorted out, so I can't test data, calling or MMS/SMS.

New build based upon bad_mofos cm12 kernel. Camera not working at all, but GPS and wallpaper bootloop fixed. Seems way more stable now. As usual, flash KitKat gapps and the APN fix for your carrier. Getting closer and closer to a fully working build.

Edit: don't mind the primary name in front of the ROM zip, its because I uploaded it from my volt.
