Root [5.1.1]XenonHD For LG Leon C50/H345 on T-Mobile and Walmart Family Mobile

Just flashed the recent XenonHD rom for MS345 (recent as of this post). There is no "Not Working" heading from the OP (post #1), only that the rom is "buttery smooth" (I think that's the phrase?). No "Not Working" list, just heavy on the butter. Butter my ass. Until I find a non-buttered thread listing what REALLY works and DOESN'T work with this rom, or until I am banned from this thread or forum, I'll log the bugs here:
*Opening Camera app crashes the UI. [NO CAMERA]
*NO VoLTE [Very Important for people who USB tether as their only Internet connection**]
*NO WIFI CALLING
*No GAPPS [Fixable but the ROM needs to include flashify or other means to get gapps]
*No LG-Hidden-Menu [In fact no MMI codes seem to work. That means no native means of choosing "LTE only"***]
*Buttery. Yes it is buttery but it is not a "working ROM" by American standards.

**[Paid Wifi Tether from google play, -if you find a way to install somehow-, can be configured to work with the $60_metro/$80_t-mobile unlimited plan and hide data with some difficulty and without some ghettoass browser useragent extension. Regardless, you will never use wifi tether for a full day without draining AND overheating the battery, even on good charger and a cooling fan. It's a fact. Thus the need for USB Tethering AND VoLTE so you can take/make calls without interrupting what can and should be a buttery-smooth Internet and calling experience. Think about what I'm saying before you chime in, because I am vested in this project and I'm speaking from experience. There are complicated solutions, one of which I have tested: Buy EasyTether, buy a router with a USB port and install an OpenWRT firmware and the EasyTether OpenWRT modules(s) for it, get a couple of other de-provisioned android devices and spoof their IMEI's to match the one of your MetroPCS/T-Mobile account then enable Wifi calling for those (so you can make / receive calls with you normal phone number), but ONLY AFTER using a 3rd party app to keep your tethered Android in LTE-only mode*** -if you can with no access to Google Play-... see How UnButtery all that complicated crap is?]

You're really full of it you know that? Half those things aren't available in any custom ROM, once you flash anything not stock based you lose volte and wifi calling, and you're really telling me that you can't download gapps and put them on your SD card before wiping and installing? Don't be so petty man.

I flashed this ROM, works great. First I had to hit airplane mode to stop reboots. Flash gapps, script to remove kingo root, divine beats zip, xposed, root booster plus and this phone is a great runner up to any mid range phone. Have been keeping my Nexus 5 in the drawer

Thanks Killa...I installed root booster and divine beats and I didn't even know about the airplane mode to prevent soft reboots...now it doesn't reboot when I turn on GPS...this ROM is off the chain now man !!!

Thanks again !!!

Yo I just turned it on once...never used it before and it rebooted...then I used the GPS more without an occasional reboot which was a pain...just one time that's it...at least for my phone

I have found that on occasion GPS will be fine...sometimes for days or weeks. Then it will decide to start soft rebooting. When that happens, I kill the GPS and then try again in a few days.

The drivers and radios working fine? Can hotspot GPS etc?
I'll take a link as well.
***Google this in general please. Even other Lg Androids with cm12.1 have had GPS fixed this way supposedly. I can't never get fastboot to work.***

I'm on ms345... I flashed the xenonhd zip for lg Leon ms345 using the blue twrp from the cm12.1 thread. I'm trying to install viper4android. The viper apk says busybox is broken or not installed properly. Any idea what's wrong? I installed several busybox apps. **** GPS works a lot better with GPS tools app installed****
Download an actual busybox flash package. Flash in recovery.
