Root BlissPop-v4.0.1-x5-UNOFFICIAL

I just flashed this rom on my LG Volt device. The BaNKS Gapps download host is apparently no longer active. Is there an alternative download source I can use to get the open google apps?

I've tried using the dirtyunicorns BaNKS Gapps and got an error about my SDK version not being the right number (it asked for 23 or higher and I had 22).

Let me know if there is something I'm doing wrong.

Edit: I am currently trying an older download on BaNKS' profile on android file host that is labled as though it is compatible with Bliss. I'll report back with results. (Although it says its for Bliss 6.0.X and this version of Bliss seems to be 4.0.1 so I have doubts)

Edit2: I'm also going to try some of the alternative gapps options listed under the download section of the Bliss Roms website.

I decided to just skip straight to the gapps options provided on Bliss Roms' website. It looks like the TK gapps flash took hold. I'm performing the system reboot now and it is optimizing the apps for BlissPop, which I'd think is a good sign..

Now that it has fully booted, I see several apps added to my device. I'll begin testing them and if any problems occur, I'll edit this post and list them.

Update: Everything is working as advertised, I only wish I had selected one of the more lightweight packages, as my phone has only 4 GB of onboard memory...

Yesterday afternoon I did a full wipe (wiped everything) then installed blisspop then installed open gapps micro for 5.1 and then installed the Virgin apn fix and haven't had any restarts. I will report back if they start again.
For me it would take a few days or even a week after a full wipe and clean flash. That's when it would begin restarting one a day maybe then wasn't long before 3 and 4 restarts daily. Always happens when I'm needing it. Great work on the ROM but not a daily driver for me. Good luck with it

Funny, mine restarted four times on me the same day I did my very first flash. Maybe our problems are unrelated and I have yet to experience the behavior you've described. I also had issues with apps on the SD card on my first flash as well...[/QU it's definitely bliss pop related and now that I think about it was happening alot while using GPS or maps. Since I started using cm13 my volt runs smooth and seamless

I highly doubt that this ROM will be updated anytime soon
That's a shame, because I would have loved video play back on this ROM. I know the devs tried and that it was hard but still. Guess I'm just gonna have to stick to stock.

But maybe you can help me. On stock I'm not getting any LTE and I've tried dialer codes and VM support. Any ideas
