Root CM12.1 UNOFFICIAL RC5

[djc7980]

question in cm12 they moved the home button long press to recent apps? or is it how it is in lollipop

This might only be for this ROM on this phone, I do know this is not on all Lollipops versions. Maybe this will be fixed in a later build.

**Edit**
I believe the long press is switched

Is it just me or on Beta2 theres no brightness change when moving the slider?? Also was the auto brightness removed? I remember it was present on Beta1... So far my only issue...

Is it OK to flash Beta 2 over Beta 1 cause I don't want to loose my data. How should I do do this.

If you have a backup of Beta1 do it, its the same ROM its just updated, if for any reason you have any issues then wipe, but if you have a backup try it out!

I backed up my rom, then wiped everything and then booted to make sure it would be fine without data. Then I went to recovery and restored data only and everything was fine.

Great work on getting this done as quick as you've made it out to be. Unfortunately, I'll have to wait till the next update, since the headphone issue is not ideal for me at the moment.

Has the YouTube playback issue been fixed? I'm on Beta 1 and the video stops and gives an error at the 5th second. It can be retried, and work fine for the rest of the video, but comes back once you play another one.

[ghet2rockuu]

I forgot how to do the whole abd part lol can you help me out

There's another issue in Beta 1 I wanted to ask about whether it's been fixed or not. On Beta 1, any app, they can't for the life of them open links. I have the default browser disabled, so maybe that's it?

EDIT: Yup, that was exactly the case

 

[EshVel]

try changing the theme ,

Tried that, didnt work... I dont get it!

Would re rooting on cm12 work like on 4.4 root method with kingroot?

On CM you're already rooted...
Go to About Phone in the settings, click Build Number 7 times, go to Developer Options and in Root Access select Root and ADB
