Root CM12.1 Unofficial Beta

I recently installed the rom and almost everything seems to work great. The only problem I have is that immediately after locking the screen it turns back on. This happens when I press the power button or leave it alone long enough to lock. I've tried reflashing the rom but I still have the same issue and I can't find a setting for it. At this rate battery life will be very short. Any ideas on how to fix?

Turn off lift to wake in light settings.

Got it booted. Didn't have to pull battery, just turned the phone completely off after installing, then booted.
WiFi, GPS, camera, and bluetooth working. No LTE, even after flashing the APN fix and it appears I need to flash the deep sleep fix. I looked back through the thread to try to figure out why no LTE. I had LTE on Candy when I tried it (pre-CM12.1), any suggestions on how to fix?

Did you try the APN setting in the networks settings menu?

Probably a stupid question, trying to run SELinux Mode Changer and it says it can't get root access. I have enabled root in Dev options, stock file manager got root just fine as well as built in terminal. Why am I not getting a prompt for this one?

NVM: Rebooted and it gave a prompt. :p

Is there a built in way to change SELinux mode though?

Getting an error when I try to flash xposed. It worked in previous builds but not the latest. Sad because YouTube is playing more ads than ever and I want to block them all.

Otherwise everything is running perfectly. Bluetooth is working great for me.
You need the one for lollipop 5.1 I had trouble too but I googled it

Welcome to the club. I'm not going anywhere near this ROM again until I stop seeing people reporting this. I'm on my 2nd Volt now because of this.
I don't think this is unfixable, but Boost 'Customer Service' is being useless. They're trying to say that the 3G signal is stronger so that's why the phone is using it, which is bull...if 4G is available, the phone should be using it since that's the better of the 2. This would also mark the first time since getting the phone that I've not had LTE, oddly coinciding with me flashing this ROM. None of them have had me check any settings or anything else relevant. I've flashed the APN fix, manually checked the settings, and did 72786 several times. I'm giving it a couple days then calling them again.

I've even gone so far as to use the flash tool to flash back to original stock software.

It may be fixable, but until there is a method that works universally across all Volts I'm gonna stay away. I tried everything under the sun that other users reported as fixes and nothing worked. I worked with customer service for a week before they just shrugged their shoulders and offered a replacement. I don't understand what it is about this ROM and it screwing the LTE connection on some phones to the point that even a back-up can't restore the service.

I don't know either. I just thought of something though, before I tried to flash this and couldn't get data working at all, but it worked fine with the Candy ROM. I may try flashing that and see if it somehow fixes it. Can't make things worse, lol.

So I installed this, tried everything to get adb to work to no avail...I have all the correct drivers installed and tried switching them out but nothing works. USB debugging is ON so I am at a loss now.

Also the screen will not turn off, every time it tries to sleep it immediately wakes up. Please help.
*edit* turns out it was the Lift to Wake setting. Still could use help with adb though.

On phone goto developer options and click on revoke USB debugging authorizations. Unplug and replug USB cable. On PC, where you have adb executable, open command prompt & run adb devices.Be sure phone screen is on, and accept the authorization key. This is assuming you are running windows. If you're on Linux be sure you have your dev rules set up correctly.
