I believe most of us went with the hangouts and MopedRyders 2nd fix.

I want to go to 4.42 but last time the camera was messed up... I will try again with 12-21-13 build. If it doesn't work that's what nandroids are for .....

Camera issue was fixed on 12/15/2013 build from CyanogenMod. It was possible to use a third-party app, like Cymera (from Play Store) as a workaround on the builds where camera was borked (I think it was just roughly from 12/12-12/14); finding that app would never have happened for me if camera hadn't been an issue, so somewhat of a silver lining! Other thing to look out for is that there were some bluetooth issues around that same time frame, but in general it seems like CyanogenMod crew is working to resolve bugs like that as fast as they can. The changelogs since then haven't indicated any major fixes, so anything from 12/15 on should be good, I have been using that particular build heavily with no issues whatsoever.

Well this is what's happening for me. I installed cm 11 12-29-2013 couldn't get hangouts to work I did a titanium app restore when hangouts had the apn settings no go so I decided to use chomp I would enter the apn in chomp mms after I close chomp and open it the apn would be set to sprints apn weird thing is I could send and receive mms via lte I used mopedryders mod 1 and it would be set on lte but when I open the apn for lte it show the correct mmsc but all the rest is sprint I would try to edit the rest but the apn for lte Disney stick even after I hit save any ideas?
