Root CM12.1 UNOFFICIAL RC5

[Masterchief87]

i personally think its the zips tha break the wifi on mines

This was why I suggested that it would be best that anyone using switcher zips not report bugs. On official ROM threads on XDA they actually tell you exactly how to install the ROM, which gapps to use and that if you use a custom kernel or delete anything from or add anything to the system not to report bugs.

Basically you should only report bugs if you did a clean install and haven't messed with any of the system files or installed xposed. If you aren't using the ROM exactly how it came don't report bugs.

no need to be sorry, and I did not mean to sound so harsh in that post

just wanted to make it clear how to do it, after I wrote that I read it and thought I sounded a little impatient or something

No your good man, i just gotta remember not to use those zips if I want WiFi lol quick question though I think its been mentioned, is there a way to get 4g? I get 3g, h+, and lte

 

[Masterchief87]

what do you need system r/w access for ?

you did not tell me you installed a switcher

this is my instructions for this rom

install rom
install gapps
factory reset


that is it, if you install other mods or other kernels, dont post you issues in here
if you have an issue, and you have not factory wiped, dont post your issue here

This is why I didn't want to make these zips for your ROM and haven't posted any yet. And also because of the fact that I don't have the time to update them every time you release a new test version. I really wish people could use the ROM the way it comes. I don't see the need for system rw with cm

I believe h+is 4g ...

My only reason for rw is ad blocking that's about it and also viper other then that there no big use for it ...

 

[Masterchief87]

Yeah there's nothing wrong with making a few small changes. I'm just saying that its best to only report bugs if you are using the ROM + gapps without any other mods

 

[AlphaDroid501]

As always I don't like stock emoji and the r/w allowed us to change that. Also cm12 r2 is the best to 2 days with no touch screen issues.

When you're from RC1 and will flash RC2. What do I wipe so I don't lose all the apps I've downloaded?

you should wipe data and cache, but you will lose the apps you installed

you should backup or apps with tiatanium backup or somother app and then restore with it

 

[Masterchief87]

Well I'm almost certain that the new test kernel fixed the problem with the screen becoming unresponsive. I've been listening to music through the headphones for a couple hours and it hasn't frozen once. Normally it would have frozen several times by now.

Hroark13 I'm willing to become your Guinea pig (lolz ) Im buying a new phone in a couples of days don't mind bricking this device . so anything to test I'm I willing to go for it .

 

[CYCONUMNUM]

After 20 hours of use.. The secret test subject (my gf) has only complained about the lollipop camera... "It's a p.o.s.!.. You need to get back the old camera... I dunno why you keep breaking your phone!".... Lol ....
Without the kernel flash things are aiight n super fresh.

 

[master odysues]

There any reason why SElinux permissive?

 

[AJ Casanova]

Would someone be so kind as to test and confirm or deny rather or not Netflix works on RC2 and all other issues never applied to me. Since beta 1 all I ever need was NF working and had no luck fixing it myself. Android is not my strong suit

 

[intrdrgn]

I got it to work, only I lost all root access. any ideas to why? never mind got it. so far everything works flawlessly. I'm feeling it! Awesome work hroark! you saved a lot of us from upgrading to another phone. its been years since I had cyanogen mod on an android phone me personally. last phone to work was Huawai Acsend. old school LMAO!!!

 

[shadooblazer]

what do you need system r/w access for ?

To change boot animation is what I use it for..

 

[ghet2rockuu]

Well I have made some zips to get r/w on the most recent CM12.1 version as for right now.
THESE ARE TO ONLY WORK FOR CM12.1 RC2. THIS HAVE ONLY BEEN TESTED ON Z970 (T-Mobile Variant). These might work on other ZTE ZMAX variants. These zips switch the boot and recovery image so be careful.

For R/W on /system (Must boot to recovery to access the OS):

i think u can just flash it from twrp

yes u can flash it from twrp what i did was i have a flashable zip i just replace the bootanimation inside to the one i want n just flash in twrp

 

[BLACKSTARATL]

can you test this kernel and see if it still happens ?

http://www.mediafire.com/download/13lu1hacn6dr3as/tstkrn.zip

Just wanted to say thanks hroark13 for all your hard work the rom runs great. You really did a good job, yes the test kernel stops the screen freeze to, not one since I flashed it

 

[bbdor]

So far nothing. I'll let you know if it happens

no wipe

its just a kernel

I flashed it last night hasn't freeze since then, it used to freeze on me while browsing and scrolling down.

 

[hroark13]

There any reason why SElinux permissive?

yeah. cause if it is enforcing, all the sh it would stop workin, the sepolicy I have does not cover all the hardware

so if you are any good at making sepolicies I could use some help

 

[master odysues]

this doesnt work on metro phone it killls the wifi !

No it doesn't , well not for me .-.
