Root CM12.1 Unofficial Beta

I want this to be my daily rom but at work and school I have to have my phone on vibrate so it doesn't make much noise. Can't wait for vibration to be fixed. Great rom though good job and thanks!!!
Then leave it on silent, kid. There's nothing worse than sitting down in a chair and it vibrating and making an ***load of noise.

So uhm here I go. I could not get the latest build to boot when flashing it with twrp, so I was like what if I flashed it with philz, turns out it worked! I did a backup then a factory reset then flashed the ROM and then the mini modular pa gapps. Everything went fine and dandy no problems or anything. I was on the stock rooted zv3 idk if this helps I haven't read any posts from earlier to see if anybody has done the same thing, its an amazing ROM !!!

this is a frequent issue that few people will believe -- regardless of the dev's instructions if you've tried everything else -- just flash that shit with a different recovery. It's resolved issues at least half a dozen times for me when at my wits end, the thread said shut up and use twrp...but philz or cwm managed to do what it couldnt, as well as vice verce.
not saying you should do it in place of following instructions, but the androidverse is strange and wild.
(or maybe just tech seeming magic to the primitive)

Yea I tried every way and it was nice that it worked my way on philz, I'm not doing it on everything I just took a shot and it seemed to work. I could get the lollipop twrp to work at all, it wouldn't mount my ext_sdcard or USB storage, it hang up at the boot logo when I flashed the cm12 rom when I did all the steps correct and right, so I did what I did with philz, awesomeness

Flashed the new boot.img and this is what I've noticed...
- rear camera is working
- flash is not working with camera, but is working with torch app
- camcorder says its recording but does not save video
- vibration now works
- a few times now when trying to wake the screen it will be unresponsive... Holding the power button to force reboot or pulling battery is only thing I can do

I have installed a few themes and played with several settings so I could be the reason screen becomes unresponsive so I may try a fresh install to see if anything changes

All in all running good!!
:D:cool::D:cool:
What boot.img where do you get it
