Root AICP 5.1.1 for ZTE ZMAX

I have a lollipop noob question im on atnt network and have the proper apn my lte service works fine but when I'm on wifi i can't send or receive messages i have tried a bunch of third party sms apps but still no luck
my question is is that I was checking on the build prop for this rom and noticed it's blank after ro. wifi. channels =
if there was something after = like a 1 or something would that fix the issue or does that not affect it at all?

Ok this is aicp for zte zmax. This is built from source and i made this because @Masterchief87 suggested it. So far everything seems to work. im curently in summer so i have alot of free time. i use a mac mini to build so i dont have the best specs. i only have a 500 gb hard drive so i cant really support this rom unless i absolutley love it.My next roms are probably gonna be MIUI,Slimrom, and hopefully brokeOS but BrokenOS is Broken pretty badly(pun intended) ill be making switcher soon and check your md5s please. Once again i am not responsible for anything you do. EVER.

i just flashed this coming from cm12 the camera isn't working for me. don't know why cause i haven't seen any other posts about it on this ROM. i downloaded Google camera and it does the same thing. not force closing just not opening. does it need a camera fix like cm12 video fix or an i missing something?

reflash the ROM ....go through all the steps...but, this time...while in TWRP ...use the file manager delete the "android" folder from your SD card BEFORE you flash the ROM........
if you read the 20 posts about what to do when this problem and a few other issues are issues.....
and if you're not one of the magical people that never run into issues when flashing a ROM or ZIP's....
it'll add up to....not giving root rights to settings...or and more often ....deleting the "android" folder......

no one here wants or is trying to be rude when we say ...read for yourself........

because ...by the time blogs get to post http://androidforums.com/threads/aicp-5-1-1-for-zte-zmax.928542/page-13#post-7064407 ....the issues have allready been addressed....

R.I.F. :)

Good thinking ...I admire that...
I woulda just did what I said after flapping around saying "the sky is falling"
My experience with link2sd is an awkward journey since my SD card is sub standard .......
So I approach that app with a certain respect due to the one time I got it to work properly with my "leet"(I jest) LG F6.... And all the other times I didn't..
Someone somewhere is still laughing about the F6 and what a stupid joke it was.....
Unless you like phones with OK specs and the internal space of Homer Simpson's brain

i had an lg ms323 and first time i partitioned my sd, i was following a guise from xda and it was for link 2sd w with swap. didn't know what swap was but was following the guide for and eight gig sd but was calculating for a for gig card. ****ed something up in swapper 2 settings and bricked the shit out of it. wrote on my dev/block/mlk partition. lol. stupid!

yeah, that's the only paperweight i ever made though. i still don't know exactly what the swapper 2 app was supposed to do.i found a method to get phone back going but it required a doner phone to get files from and i just got a better phone. which i immediately rooted out of the box and started modding. my girl got pissed. lol. "me or the phone!" phone wins evertime

Wow..after a reevaluation on these aosp 5.1.1 ROMs, I must say this AICP ROM has no bugs , my only issue is minor, I can't change the MTU ,,my scripts don't work on this ROM for some reason, any other data users who also modifies his or her MTU, please post how you were able to change the MTU. Thanks. Other than that this ROM and butternoob 4.4.4 are the two best ROMs for this phone. Hands down. I must have gotten lucky I'm on the $40 plan and I was throttled yesterday, I was on my butternoob ROM at the time..so I called metro upgraded to 60 dollars for about 30 min then re flashed my AICP backup copied the netpolicy file located in /data/system folder..noticed the warning bites were at -1 but before it was reading 2146788 etc...so I copied the netpolicy and paste it into the /data/system folder changed permissions to read and execute only..called metro changed back to my $40 dollar plan and now I'm still at full data speeds going on 27 hours.. AICP my new daily driver,I'll donate to u E on 9/25/15 . Great work..

PS. Server was still in its process..speed gone....shucks ..thought I embarked on something ....lol
OK thanks a lot. That's the day after my birthday so I'll be glad to see a donation.
