I did..
Everything is working great by the way.

Although sometimes I can send/receive MMS messages with both WiFi and (lte) data on, no issues. But then other times it seems like the messages get hung up or stuck, and when they do I toggle WiFi off for a sec and let them send or download. Idk, maybe it's just me...

(im on the T-Mobile variant zmax)

Use Textra instead. It has an option to automatically turn off WiFi when sending/receiving MMS without manually switching WiFi on/off

Nice! I'll give it a try.
I still want to try to fix this though.

Default RC5, no hacks or changes. When I'm in a middle of writing a text, and receive a phone call I have a lag. Usually by the third or fourth ring the "REJECT or ANSWER" will show up in the notification bar. By the next ring it's usually sending to voicemail. I've missed a few calls this way, and end up having to call people back. I'm wondering if anyone else has come a cross this or is it just my phone? Been thinking about reflashing but it seems pointless when everything else is working flawless.

I've had this a lot , and its been getting my girlfriend mad lately lol

it happens to me too

Darrien37 · Jul 8, 2015

can we use the full modular gapps package with this rom? I like having all the google apps instead of the system replacement ones

ravenslight · Jul 8, 2015

I use tk stock gapps and it runs just fine.

We already have a custom kernel. What are you trying to add?

Maybe a governor or two, and maybe gestures or features like doubletap2wake. If its at all possible.

Well maybe. I'm still working on a device treeso we can get official rom support. Also our kernel needs to be rebased but I personally never mess with kernels. Look for hroark13s kernel and edit that.

Hey, @hroark13. I noticed the auto-brightness ramps up and down pretty rough. I made some changes to frameworks to hopefully make it more smooth. I don't have the build env. set up, so I can't test the changes myself. If someone could build a new zip or frameworks package, I'd really appreciate it. Here's the commit from my github:

https://github.com/ikarosdev/androi...mmit/11d3f57f23cd09f8576c45903a29f470268cf795

Code:

<!-- Array of light sensor LUX values to define our levels for auto backlight brightness support.
The N entries of this array define N + 1 zones as follows:

Zone 0: 0 <= LUX < array[0]
Zone 1: array[0] <= LUX < array[1]
...
Zone N: array[N - 1] <= LUX < array[N]
Zone N + 1: array[N] <= LUX < infinity

Must be overridden in platform specific overlays -->
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLevels">
<item>15</item>
<item>100</item>
<item>150</item>
<item>300</item>
<item>900</item>
<item>1200</item>
<item>3000</item>
<item>5000</item>
<item>8000</item>
</integer-array>

<!-- Array of output values for LCD backlight corresponding to the LUX values
in the config_autoBrightnessLevels array. This array should have size one greater
than the size of the config_autoBrightnessLevels array.
This must be overridden in platform specific overlays -->
<integer-array name="config_autoBrightnessLcdBacklightValues">
<item>30</item>
<item>50</item>
<item>70</item>
<item>100</item>
<item>150</item>
<item>200</item>
<item>250</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
<item>255</item>
</integer-array>

If you made a backup with twrp, just wipe everything but sdcard, and restore your backup. Otherwise http://androidforums.com/index.php?threads/921272/

just wanted to report that all of the LP ROMs are decreasing my battery life. after reverting to butternoob2 i can confirm this. i have seen people reporting better battery life but i dont see it.

I think some people like to THINK they get better battery life just because they LIKE to think upgrading ROMs just makes everything 'better'...

DarkOwl · Jul 13, 2015

Very well done, sir! I love it. I really wish I wasn't unemployed

otherwise I would of donate a bunch for sure but I'm on waiting so as soon I get employed I'll donate cause you deserve it. Good stuff! I really appreciate and respect your work.

So far no bugs! Hooray

You need to be rooted and have TWRP installed (normally, not switched up)

CURRENT RC5

md5sum 389345d082548cdf7d7729d876c615a6

INSTRUCTIONS (all done in TWRP with out restarting)
DO A BACKUP IF HAVE NOT DONE ONE YET
FACTORY WIPE
INSTALL ROM
INSTALL GAPPS
this is the gapps zip I use
https://github.com/cgapps/vendor_google/raw/builds/arm/gapps-5.1-2015-06-02-15-19.zip

do not restore data in TWRP from another ROM or older version, the DATA partition has a lot of OS related system stuff in it, use a backup and restore utility like Titanium Backup, to just back up you apps, app data, messages, call log, etc, etc,

If you have sensor issues (the screen goes black when you receive a phone call)
see this thread for the fix
http://androidforums.com/threads/cm12-1-sensors.922452/

fix if you flashed cm12.1 and went back to stock and have messed up rotation sensors

SYSTEM WRITE PROTECTION IS STILL ACTIVE, I MADE CHANGES TO THE KERNEL THAT STOPS THAT ERROR WHEN YOU TRY TO REMOUNT AS R/W

IF YOU TRY TO MAKE MODS TO /SYSTEM IT WILL LOOK LIKE IT WORKED, BUT IT IS ONLY IN THE BUFFER, ONCE YOU REBOOT THOSE CHANGES ARE GONE

SYSTEM WRITE PROTECTION WILL NOT BE OVERCOME WITH OUT A BOOT LOADER UNLOCK OR SOME TYPE OF HACK

Hroark I need your help. Where did you get the DTS files for your kernel? So I can rebuild the dt.iMG for over clocking?

hammerdroid · Jul 14, 2015

What are we able to do by way of xposed?

there is a dts file in the tree

https://github.com/hroark13/android_device_zte_draconis/blob/cm12.1/dt.img

the dts file that gets generated with the kernel source does not work for some reason, so I used the stock dts file from the stock 444 kernel

OK thanks. I didn't see that but I figured you pulled something from the 4.4.4 kernel

Also what about your cm11 tree? Can we get that?

Will the boot switcher.zip and the boot restore.zip that masterchief8ú made work with cyanogen mod? I don't really understand the red letters.
