In settings go to display options then turn off "lift to wake". As the poster above you stated, many problems have fixes posted in this thread if you look for it.

I turned on traditional tabs in chrome to fix that issue. The lollipop cards are annoying for browsing anyway.

I had done this to no affect. CM Browser fixed the issue.

Update: might be GPS related. When visiting maps.google.com with High accuracy location enabled, I get a restart even in CM Browser. GPS with no high accuracy location, no restart. I haven't tried the GPS fix yet.

Just to let you guys know I flashed all of this on my volt from sprint prepaid and lost gps and 4g so I guess beware lol

If you will read the first i dunno, say first page....of this thread, 4g WAS a known issue...we now have a fix for it....theres also a GPS fix. Just read and you will know its not an issue. Been running with GPS and 4g since march 19,not a single issue. But I read the entire thread.

I flashed to the latest Version of this rom and it removed my root, how do I get root back?

I am, however, trying to figure out how to get the gps and camera to work on the recent CM12 roms. There are fixes to be found if you read through this thread. There are a number of lg volts out there which won't work even with the posted fixes, I have one of those volts, so hopefully I can figure something out that works for mine and it will potentially work for others here.

@jfuginay, I would love to help you try to solve this issue. I apparently also have one of the stubborn Volt variants.

. I was wondering if it would help to update the vendor blobs using my Volt as the donor phone. My current theory is that the vendor blobs being used on the current builds are incompatible with our cameras. If it would help, I would gladly try to create a new vendor tree for our Volts. But would that work?
To really test this out, I would ask @Bad_MOFO_33 to give access to the device tree and kernel sources being used for the latest builds (I don't think the ones on Github have been updated, but correct me if I'm wrong). I would then be able to compile a new build on my machine.
Hopefully this will get us closer to solving these issues!

You need to go to developer options after trapping your build number 7 times. Then allow root access to apps and adb.

These are the trees used in the last build.
Havent updated anything because I need to get a new computer. My old one dumped out. Using an old Dell now, does the job but very slow.
Kernel use cm11_msm8226_defconfig, also added fastchg(untested)
Anyway goodluck

Does anyone know anything about not being able to adjust your brightness after enabling or disabling livedisplay?

Darren Rutherford · Apr 6, 2015

Hey guys, if your Volt can't get LTE and you are annoyed by the signal drops, just change your preferred network type to 3G, this solved the signal drop for me 100%, but still no LTE sadly.

In response to the posts about differences in hardware, I found this listing about a hardware version. I'm running on stock zv3 on a Virgin Mobile phone.

I'm on zv5 with a Boost Mobile model. And I'm also at Rev.1.0.
Does your rear camera/GPS work in CM12?

I haven't tried CM12 yet, or any other rom for that matter. I've just been sitting on zv3 this whole time. But yea, I was hoping people could use this to identify why some are having issues and some aren't, if it really is a difference in hardware that's causing problems.

I'm also on Boost ZV5 with Hardware Rev. 1.0; no rear camera or GPS on CM12.

I have Hardware Rev 1.0 on ZV5. I'm on Virgin Mobile and have no rear camera or GPS on CM12.

I've got rev 1.0 too, on Boost, but my camera works in CM12. Maybe some of the more detailed device info from one of the kernel tuning apps would show a difference?

Thanks, man! About to back up and flash...

lopez1981 · Apr 7, 2015

so far so good on the new build. my default messaging app works! first time, nice! front and rear camera working, but i have boost volt so they have always worked. not quite sure about the LTE cuz i'm on wifi but it's worked on all other builds, just not constantly.

frenchiet · Apr 7, 2015

Flashed the new build works perfect and is very smooth, I flashed Xposed and i cant get it to work with the new CMW 12.1. Anyone have an idea how to fix it?

jessewcharles · Apr 7, 2015

Excellent! Everything is working.. Stock camera is still working flawlessly. I had one force close when opening the gallery, but only the first time. The only other thing I've noticed is the clock started out on military time... Lol, but that isn't even worth reporting. Thanks again for all your time and effort.

Xposed is working too[emoji1]
