whoshotjr2006 · Jun 14, 2015

READ EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU CONTINUE ANY FURTHER!!!! DEV INFO IS IN 2ND POST.

NEWS:
First build. This has double tap to wake and uses bad_mofo's cm12.1 caf kernel which also brings us overclocked processor, fast charge, etc. Should be an all around smoother experience.

CHANGELOG:
061415: first build. added double tap to wake, added Bad_MOFO_33's cm12.1 caf kernel

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:
Green tint on back camera on some volts
NFC needs some fixup, waiting for logcats
Youtube: Open settings in video, disable HQ video stream for now.
Camcorder: Use Camu or something like it from google play store

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:

Thanks man fer all the roms

Sands207 · Jun 21, 2015

@whoshotjr2006 I've been using this ROM for a few days so far. Pretty solid man, thanks for putting this together. I'm loving all of the added options in settings

Can we get some screen shots?

danielb99 · Jun 24, 2015

HEY VERY IMPORTANT NEWS. IF YOU DIDN'T ALREADY KNOW HOW TO FIX THE VIDEO PLAYBACK ISSUES, IT IS CAUSE BY LPA AUDI DECODING. Basically if you use "Root App Delete," from the play store you can delete DSP Manager, the current audio manager in this ROM. After you do that, go to the play store and install Viper4Android. It will be the first one on top. After you install it, open the app and when it asks to choose what driver want, choose the top most driver, (Extreme High Quality) I think. Then it will tell you it is going to disable LPA decoding. So far this is the only work around I know of to get rid of the LPA decoding. I'm sure there is a more efficient way. But as far as I know that is how I did it. There is just one small issue. You can only watch videos on chrome in low quality, but snapchat, etc will work.

danielb99 · Jun 24, 2015

********UPDATE********
Instead of doing all that mentioned above instead go to your build.prop and change lpa.decode to false. BAM!

Sands207 · Jun 24, 2015

@CrimsonToker

In regards to the above post concerning LPA, by modifying the build.prop what exactly is that fixing? I do like viperFX better than dsp though, the audio is much better sounding

CrimsonToker · Jun 25, 2015

I read this thread, couple posts down someone explains what low power audio, lpa, is, but I don't understand how it relates to viper.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2234340

Also, I'm curious if playing around with build prop is safe on custom ROM? I've only done so on stock, and I don't know much about build prop, so I don't know if anything would be redundant or break the ROM..

Villuminati74 · Jun 25, 2015

Hey i was wondering if anyone could help me out ive never had to deal with flashing an apn or anything i used to have a N4 and a G2 so flashing was pretty straight forward. there is no sprint apn to flash unless im just dumb and dont need it lol sorry any help would be appreciated

Viper uses an LPA driver by default but I think it has to be forced to work with CM and it's variants. As far as build.prop editing and such I think I will install viper as a system app instead of modifying build.prop and just enable LPA that way. I've had bad luck in the past editing build.prop and not knowing exactly what I was doing LOL. I'm going to make a backup of it though before I do anything with viper just in case

danielb99 · Jun 25, 2015

Okay so what I was trying to get at is, the LPA is what is causing video playback to be broken in some apps. Like Chrome. I tried editing the build.prop after I backed it up and no problem. So my whole point was, if you disable LPA, (however you want to) it will fix the broken video playback...

Hey no problem man. Maybe in the future the devs will figure out a way to set that as a default option somehow. Or just fix the video problem all together. I'm not really sure how they would do it but it does seem feasible.

CrimsonToker · Jun 26, 2015

I occasionally lose LTE. it takes a few reboots to fix. Here is a logcat of the issue

I used the lpa build prop things but snapchat video don't work but vine does

CrimsonToker · Jun 27, 2015

My phone always daydreams now, whether charging or not. Kind of an interesting side effect of this, I can set my game down and it won't lock screen close the app lol

Is this just the cause of issue for this rom? or all custom roms thus far?

Edit: Appears to fix the issue of Live Youtube streams not playing on the Cyanogenmod 11 rom

EDIT 2: I retract my previous statements, nothing fixed

dvdavid888 · Aug 15, 2015

How stable is this

NeoZiggy · Aug 15, 2015

This is running good. Seems to take a little longer to boot, and my camera has the green overlay, otherwise it's great!

I really would like some more govonor and io scheduler options, if possible.

I edited my DPI in build.prob and set it to 210. Much better screen resolution.

NeoZiggy · Aug 17, 2015

I'm trying to find a fix for the camera. After reading around XDA and it seems it's in the kernel. Some Devs used JB video drivers or kernels from certain nightlys to fix the camera HAL and video issues in CM11 at the time... for other phones of course.
