Greetings,
Just a few days ago I installed the most recent CM 10.1 nightly, first 20130319 and now updated to 20130323. For the most part, my phone is working well, but I do not have any 3g data service nor have I had it since installing CM 10.1.
I have a Droid 3 XT862 being used in the US on Verizon's CDMA network and placing and receiving calls works. I *can* send and receive SMS as well, although in a test I did toay I sent very short 25 character text from my Droid 3 on the Verizon network to another Android device on the Sprint network and it arrived a mere 2h15m later.
I have read many messages on this forum and others, but either the problem addressed is too far removed or the ideas/changes suggested are offered with little explantion as to why, so I am unsure if making any of these changes would be a good idea. I did read through the build.prop on my device and it certainly appears that it is more or less configured and ready for CDMA usage. I have performed a *228 PRL update, but it did not appear to help. CM 10.1 makes available, unlike the stock ROM, a menu/page full of mobile network settings. I have tried to work with some of these settings, toggles, preferred network types, and so on, but again none of these changes seems to have had an effect on my 3g data connection.
Am I doing something wrong? Does anybody know how to fix this? Or perhaps it is a new/temporary bug in CM 10.1?
As for the operation of everything else under CM 10.1, I like it very much. It is a very big step up from before, when I was first using stock Android 2.3.4 followed by the Maverick ROM, which, while better, sure liked to crash/reboot when under memory pressure. I do have a few issues that I hope others might be able to help with:
* The hardware keyboard's ALT key does not appear to work anymore which rules out half the symbols on the keyboard, making it far less useful. I also cannot use it any longer with VX ConnectBot as some of the mappings do not seem to work. For example, the "OK" key used to work as a CTRL key. Maybe these are related? Any idea how to fix this?
* The backlight on the hard buttons and on the keyboard was, previously, triggered by a light sensor (I think). Now the backlight comes on when there is any tapping, swiping, or button/key activity. That's fine, except that the timeout for the light is extremely short, on the order of about two seconds. In a dark environment, this can be annoying.
* It's slow... my god is it slow! I think this is due almost entirely to a severe lack of free RAM on the device, but I don't know what to do about it. Some programs, like GMail, take forever to start, while many others are just very slow to use/respond. I see the "Not Responding" popup appear *much* more than ever before, but, as I know these apps are just slow and not dead, I always just tap on "wait" and go on with what I was doing.
I really don't think I have that much running in the background or foreground to use all of this RAM. I have replaced Trebuchet with NemusLauncher in hopes of freeing some memory. I have three widgets only: a clock/weather widget, the standard calendar widget, and the Google Voice inbox widget. In the background, besides whatever Android and CM run, I have Google Voice and imo (the instant messanger) running. I believe that is it. Is there *anything* I can do to improve the speed issue? I understand how Android handles memory, so it is clearly not about just increasing the "free RAM" value. That said, however, it seems that if there were fewer apps trying to use the limited memory then this would naturally be higher to begin with.
I have a decent collection of apps, but the number is much smaller than in the past and most all of them should remain dormant unless I actually run them... or so I believe.
Okay, so those are the issues. I could add battery life and the camera to that list, but I have read on the forum that, no thanks to Motorola, the camera is unlikely to be available anytime soon, and I have also read that the battery issues should be resolved soon.
So, um... please help! And great many thanks to all of the hard working devs who bring us better software and especially to those who help those of us with devices that are practically *new* and yet abandoned by the carriers. Extra kudos to those finding ways to work around locked bootloaders and proprietary binary blobs.

Can you force it to EVDO only? And what happens in a stock ROM?
In the mobile network settings page, as mentioned above, I can, and have, tried many of the options. Among them is the preferred network type.
It defaults to 'global' which actually sets it to LTE/CDMA, though this is not an LTE device. I have tried all of the options that make sense (i.e. nothing GSM related). I have tried Evdo-only and currently have it set to 'CDMA/Evdo auto'.
None of these settings has changed anything. To test, I disable WiFi and see if I have a Net connection.
With the stock ROM, as well as the Maverick ROM, when I have 3g, the letters '3g' appear in the status bar next to the mobile signal strength icon and there are two small arrows to indicate I/O. This is what I expected to happen with CM.

I have a 3g update, but no solution yet.
In the mobile net settings page I have the network set to 'CDMA/EvDo auto'. Then I turn on airplane mode to force the radio off, then turn airplane mode back off.
The radio comes back and as it does I can see the network strength icon briefly add an R, presumably meaning reconnecting, followed by a 1x, and finally by a 3g. Then the 3g disappears. This entire sequence takes only about 3 to 5 seconds. If I do this while viewing Settings->About->Phone, I can see the current radio/network states change. Of course, I do all of this with my local wifi connection off.
Also, I did try a network type of 'EvDo only' and the above sequence still occurred but without the 1x step. However, this sequence didn't seem to occur as reliably as when the network is set to 'CDMA/EvDo auto'. For reference, the phone info page under settings indicates that this phone or network is 'CDMA - EvDo rev. A:6'.
So, it would seem 3g is at least possible, if fleeting. What should I do now? I really don't want to stop using CM 10.1.
--John Gruenenfelder
Same issue here. No 3g. In the system status, it will briefly show the mobile network status as "connecting" then drop back to disconnected.
If you reboot into stock it works right?

Me or rocksolid99?
In my case, I, well, did not follow the correct Safestrap update procedure when I went from 1.x to 3.05. As such, I *think* my stock ROM may be slightly hosed. I *do* have a complete backup of the original stock that I created with Safestrap 1.x, but 3.05 does not "see" it when I tap on the "Restore" button in recovery. So, I have it, I'm just not sure what I should do if I really need to restore that backup.
However, I have installed the Minimoto 1.7 ROM into slot 2 in Safestrap 3.05 and if I use that ROM (which is a super stripped down Droid 3 stock) then 3g works just fine. I did not have any network/connection issues and did not need to take any extra steps to get 3g to work.

Really? Good to know. Thanks for the info.
If I might reiterate on my other CM 10.1 problem, they keyboard? Right now, the ALT key does not work which means that I cannot access most of the punctuation keys. Strangely, in many apps when I press ALT I will see the cursor change with the upside down triangle at the top of the cursor bar indicating that ALT has been pressed. Good, but if I press any other key it is not recognized. It is as though I had not pressed anything. The ALT indicator doesn't even change or go away. The only thing I can do is continue to press the ALT key to cycle through its states (off, one-key, locked). Could this also be a bug in CM 10.1?
Is there a better or more correct location to submit these issues? Since these issues are/may be bugs in CM 10.1, should I not submit a bug report directly?
Beyond the 3g/data and keyboard issue is the RAM usage. It uses a *lot* of RAM. Is this just the way it is? The Droid 3 lacks enough RAM to really make a serious go at Android 4.2?
Thanks again!

When Motorola hinted that this was the reason why the D3 and X2 would not get ICS, nobody believed them.
I think it's pretty clear that CM on the Droid 3 at the moment is alpha/beta status. If you want stability and full features, you need a Gingerbread ROM. Minimoto is best for me.

+1 anything above gingerbread is not stable. Some people manage to use them for daily drivers but they have to deal with the bugs. Myself, I need a camera and I need my phone to work all day, I use it for my job. As such, I run minimoto, as it is quite stable, and any bugs that do arise can be dealt with as it's based on gingerbread, which is stable on our devices. Liberty is also a good rom to use, it's based on an older system version but it's quite stable and has lots of features, as opposed to Minimotos minimalist goal.

has anyone tried making a swap partition for cm10.1 ?
I made it and it seems to be much much faster or the latest nightly (04/07/2013) is quicker.
anyhow I have it up only for about an hour it remains to be seen during the day how it's reacting

Have you (or has anyone) successfully booted CM10.1 on the XT860? I just get bootloops after install. MiniMoto has been working great for me though.

Hello fellow droid people.
Ok here is my question/questions. I apologize in advance if some of these questions are redundant with others, but I am at work at the moment and my search functions are limited due to web lock downs.
So I know a bit about what I'm doing in terms of flashing and backing up with safe-strap (v3.05). Currently I'm running MiniMoto v1.6 on a 5.7.906.xt862 system version on the Verizon US network.
My first question is what are the benefits of swapping to the xt833 over the xt862, if there are any at all.
My second question is dealing with the 3g vs 1x connections. I usually get a 3g connection just fine, but soon as I switch to any heavy internet usage, steaming music, downloading/updating from the play store etc, it will drop down to a 1x connection and my data will slow down drastically I grandfathered into the unlimited data from Verizon so idk if its a cap thing or what.
My last question is that when I turn on the GPS it takes a drastically long time to find any satellites to be able to do navigation. I tired installing the GPS status app which seems to help a bit but still takes a long time to connect that first time after its been off for a while.
Lastly, not really a question I suppose, but I am looking for suggestions too on ROMS to run. My biggest issue, as I'm sure with most people, is batter life and looking to get the most out of it. I do run Juice Defender Pro and with the minimalistic approach of MiniMoto I do get a lot of battery life. I guess what Im looking for though is something that is VERY bare bones, no extra stuff at all, not even gappps, at least on a fresh install, and with the features to customize what I want to have on there, almost like a build your own capabilities. For example I notice most ROMS I've tried (Ive run CM9 a long time ago on an x2, Steel Droid, v3 i think, and now MiniMoto) and they all have things like the Flicker Authorization on it, I have no use for that personally. yes I know I can freeze it with Titanium Backup (which i have also) or rename the .apk file to like .apkb or something, but I am looking for something where its just not there, if its out there.
Thanks for making it though this wall of txt and look forward to participating on here after a long time lurking and using the forums for info
Another question that just popped into my head, if someone can point me in the direction of how to apply the build.prop things that get put out, Ive seen a lot of things about them, but never been able to find how to apply them it would be appreciated.

-Droid x2 - returned to get the Droid 3
-Droid 3 .906 x862 running MiniMoto
-Asus Transformer 300
1) The 883 radio/build.prop is used to unlock GSM in the USA. Totally unneeded and will disable your CDMA part of your radio from my experience unless you want to unlock for T-Mobile/AT&T.
2) The 3G/1X switching may be you needing to do a *228. But you can force 3G by *#*#4636#*#*, Phone Information, EVDO only. Note: You won't get inbound calls or texts, as those use 1X.
3) Minimoto is about as barebones as you can get. If you want more battery life play with the overclocking and keep it at 1 GHz but change governors and stuff. I get through the day just fine. What are you expecting? Maybe you have apps that you download that are killing it (like Words With Friends is notorious for me).
Thanks for your response MrObvious
As to the 3g/1x thing. Ya i don't want to force 3g that way as i do still need to receive calls and such. I have tried the *288 a few times and its doesn't help at all, I'm thinking its just a bad location in my office as that seems to be where I have the most issues.
For the battery thing. Its not that I see a big drain on it, far from it when I know I'm going to need to be maximizing it I can just use Juice Defender to cut the pushes and radios that aren't needed to a minimum and I can easily get a full day plus of standby. I was just looking for a way to maximize what I did have already.
It is two two eight not 288.

before you add the gapps from above, might want to upgrade to 1.7, he just put a new version out a couple of days ago with some fixes and more removal of things. and it requires a full flash, not just an update.
Is anyone else that's running CM10.2 on Droid 4 having data connection issues? Have you fixed them? If so, how? Does the code need to bake a while longer before data starts working?
I'm running CM 10.22010831-NIGHTLY-maserati
WIFI is working, but I can't get data to work otherwise. I did a factory reset and started fresh. I've tried flashing the ROM and gapps package multiple times. I wiped cache and Dalvik. I tried repairing permissions.
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Marty

Anyone have a link for a newer version or any idea how to get one?

Do u have the issue on stock rom slot? If so then take it back to stock with the latest utility floating around the forum. Check for system updates if there is one dl and install to make sure u have latest radio if problem persist then it's a Good possibility it's A coverage issue or hardware related problem..

Ok, here's where I'm at now.
I updated my stock rom. baseband is now at 5.25.00. Still won't work on CM10.2.
3g will work on my stock ROM, but not on CM.
I've screwed with the mobile network settings and I can't get any difference in results.
LTE works great with CM10.2, but as soon as I'm in 3g territory, I'm dead in the water. I can receive and place voice calls and I get text messages through the messaging app, but anything that requires an actual data connection, like google voice or the browser, it won't work.
Help!?
updated PRL, still no love.
In some versions i needed to add APN manually, then it would work. In earlier version i had the same problem that 3g would not work. Also problem with reception bars - it would always show like 1 bar or smth like this but would work just fine.

It already has several APNs set up. The one I have selected is: APN: vzwinternet, MCC:311, MNC:480. Most everything else isn't set.

Set adrift without data.
Day 10: I've run out of water. The sea gulls... they mock me... with their wings... and beaks... and of course their raucous calls. They are scheming against me. My only friend is the lone shark that circles me constantly. He's attentive like that. A bit forward though. Keeps trying to kiss me. I tell him "NO KISSES FOR YOU! Not until the second date."
Also, still no data.

First off, thanks for the chuckle
Secondly, you're getting no data at all? Are you on Verizon? If so, do you have LTE in your area? My personal experience has been LTE data is working fine but 3G has been REAL spotty. I did see dhacker on twitter post a new razr build with some 3G tweaks he was testing. So that is being worked on and should filter down to us when it does get figured out.

3G was working fine on 10.1, but is nonexistent on 10.2. It actually acts like it wants to connect to a roaming tower if I switch it to GSM, but it can only see it and won't pass traffic.
I could just go back to 10.1 or run stock, but my pigheadedness, that's a word now, won't allow it.
On the brighter side, I am learning a great deal more about my phone that I had previously known.
The problem seemed to rectify itself around the nightly build on 9-15 or 9-16.
I know I'm a bit late, but I always do the * # * # 4636 # * # * in dialer and I turn off the radio, set the radio to cdma/lte and turn it back on, usually it isn't letting all those other antennas run and it seems to pick 4G LTE faster in my experience.
I think it's a CM10.2 issue...
Hi, my friend with a Galaxy S3 is having the exact same data retention issues we are having on our Droid 4's, which makes me think this is a bug in CM10.2 on various devices more than an issue with our phones. I can get LTE data when I have service, but find that once I loose service, even for a moment, the phone then never re-connects to LTE again and just sits there with white bars instead. Toggling data or airplane mode seems to usually trick it into reconnecting to LTE, but it is becoming annoying to have to constantly check and toggle around to get data back. I've tried every nightly and the M1 and have found the issue remains through the 11/19 build. I've installed the ROM into slot1, I'm not sure if overwriting the stock ROM and using the stock slot with CM10.2 helps matters at all, has anyone had any experience with using CM10.2 in the stock slot instead of Sot 1?
Hello.
I recently dusted off my Australian Velocity after the Nexus 5 went for a swim at the beach. I have S-off, rooted and installed the albinoman ROM.
There are a couple of issues I have noticed so far.
The 4g connection is patchy at best. Not very stable at all but I can live with that.
The battery indicator is acting strangely it stays in 100% for ages but then it starts going down very quickly until it gets to 14% where it stays for a long time but once it gets past that it just goes to full discharge very fast.
I am having the same issue that many other guys and my MMS capabilities are not working. The phone just stays sending or retrying but messages never leave.
Any suggestions about what to do? I have wiped and reinstalled the ROM a few times and it makes no difference.
On the other hand I love the overclocking capabilities makes the phone feel a bit more responsive.
Thanks and keep up the good work

As for the 4G connection, once you've accumulated 10 posts you should mention this in the CM 11 ROM thread and ask if the APN needs to be any different than normal (or if the mod changes the APN). The battery issue should get fixed if you let it fully charge and fully discharge about 3 times. The MMS capabilities is a known issue; try the specific nightlies that albinoman recommended to fix the MMS issue. New nightlies might break previous fixes and stuff.
Same Issue
I'm having the same issue here for AT&T HTC Vivid, none of my MMS were sent, nor have I received any. It's really essential for me cuz of my group, clubs have MMS and inorder for me to get those notifications I need MMS.
Calls are okay, but there are times where there's no sound on the other caller, so to fix that I end call and call again, which fixes it.
One final issue I've been having since Jellybean and Kitkat is the proximity for when calls, it does not respond. So i have to turn on Settings>Accessibility>Power button to end a call, because the phone's screen stays black during call, and 10-30 seconds after call. Camera is okay too, but doesn;t function well in video recording in apps like Snapchat and Instagram.
Overall, it's a great ROM by albinoman, I wish the Sweep2Wake is soon embedded, that's really great and wayyy better than the power button.

Well, I just did what you did, and rebooting does not fix it, nor does clearing the data of various apps installed. I'll post this to the CM11 thread and see if any answers or ideas are brought to light.

Many thanks, i saw the post!
Yeah I tried clearing everything. Did a manual reinstall of the APNs using a number of different configs.
Did the wipes ....... did a little dance .... pulled the battery and sim ...... sacrificed a small packet of tofu (no goats, i like goats) The gods of mobility have still not smiled my way.
Wont find networks when i do a search yet am nicely connected, can make calls etc etc.
thanks for trying. If i get no joy will reflash a nightlie and see if it resets?!
Yeah, although wiping the caches didn't do the trick, reflashing a nightly (along with wiping data, cache, and dalvik-cache) should take care of the problem. If you are really attached to your app settings, look into titanium backup for backing up your apps along with their data; it's also the way I save my WiFi passwords.

I installed xposed and Intelli3g and with a bit of mucking around now have 4g back!
Seems to work, have 4g 4 bars!
My initial attempts to force lte caused me to have no coverage (I was at work in North SYd so good LTE normally).
Using the "use all" option in Intelli3g, a reboot and swapping around towers was the trick for me.
Thanks again

Awesome! Do you want to make a step by step instruction set on how to fix that? I would like to know, and I'm sure a newbie who runs into the save problem would really appreciate it.

Known issue, you just have to be patient until it gets fixed (no one has gotten it to work)
I recently took the plunge and updated to Cloudyfa's CloudyG3 2.0+ Rom and it is super awesome. There is a HUGE General Discussion thread here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=56644031
Here is the main Rom thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783192
It is for all variants but it is a port of the GSM G3 rom. So some things aren't 100% on our VS980 roms. Just to be certain, everything is working for me but it takes a few tweaks, hence the point of this thread.
Here are the main issues off the top of my head:
Cellular doesn't work out of the box
You have to manually change it to LTE/CDMA. It took a few times to get this to work. I also use an app from the Play Store called "TellInfo" which lets you select "LTE/CDMA/EvDo/GSM/WCDMA" (which seems to work best for me). You also have to go into Settings > Tethering & Networks > Mobile Networks and select "Data Enabled" and "Data Roaming". The Network mode that seems to work best is "Global" mode.
I would advise that you check with your data plans to make sure you aren't being charged a crazy amount of money to roam on other networks. At this point (I travel), I haven't racked up any additional charges.
MMS doesn't work with the stock Messaging App
This requires downloading Textra or Hangouts for SMS/MMS handling. I like Textra.
Verizon Visual Voicemail doesn't work
I get a really weird text message when I get a voicemail. I assume this is trying to communicate to the Verizon Voicemail app. It doesn't work. I have to resort in manually checking voicemail the old fashion way. I am looking for better options
Other random facts
The keyboard no longer has arrow keys in the nav bar when typing. I've read the G3 rom keyboard is supposed to let you swipe the spacebar for left/right movement... but it doesn't work nor do I see any options.
WiFi File Sharing is gone from the G2. The G3 took this feature out, which is really really sad. A good alternative is "Samba Filesharing". Same thing except can't be launched from the Notification Shade
Otherwise, the rom is beautiful and pretty. The Xposed G3 Tweaksbox has tons of options for some really neat features. Everything else works the same/better then stock G2 software. I don't know if I could go back to the stock G2 rom after using this for a few weeks. Outside of the small issues listed above (SMS/MMS being the only semi-big one) it works and looks so good that it is a keeper.
Any additional tips and tricks to making the CloudyG3 rom work better on our VS980 Verizon LG G2s, please share!

Although I appreciate the time you spent working this up for people, its in the wrong section.
This really should be in the Verizon specific General section (maybe q&a?)
Just to add on a bit. Any time I flash one of his ports, I just change the build prop.
I use ROM toolbox pro, light would work, but the app you really need (that's built into it) is root explorer.
I change the tele device to 10, country to US (make sure its caps) and carrier to vzw, and I never have an issue with LTE sticking or anything of the sort.
Obviously you would change the country if you don't live in the US.
I haven't done any of these changes and if seems fine...

Thats weird I've been running this rom on my vs980 for a few weeks now. Everything worked perfect for me without having to mess with any settings at all. Also messaging worked without a hitch. Only thing i noticed while driving was the signal would say roaming sometimes. A reboot would correct this issue. Think it has something to do with the 3g to 4g hand off.

If it is roaming that means you're in a 3g area
I tried this for awhile on more than one occasion and every time, my sms would eventually take hours or days to receive. It was maddening. Did not matter what app I used, fixed apn settings, tried everything. It would work for a day or two then messaging totally fell apart.

Are you actually roaming though? Or does it just say so?

Its cosmetic.
The reason it does it, is because the ROMs he builds are based off of international builds. So they don't cater to vs/ls980 as they use cdma
Edit: Same reason why the stock messengers won't send mms
---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:05 PM ----------
Also, I just flashed the new cloudyg3 2.1, (I think?) and it looks like all the normal changes I make to the build prop are already done.
Country and tele device number.
I am having MTP issue. It refuses to go into MTP mode.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I put build.prop fix in and it did not make any difference.
Otherwise, it appear to be pretty good. But battery drain seem a bit higher than stock.

Great to hear..I'll note that the G3 tweaksbox has an option to kill the roaming icon and then you can use the Verizon icons..perfect.
Since flashing this last night I've had no troubles. GPS, LTE, MTP, everything is working...

I gave up on VVM a while ago. Had to call Verizon and have them deactivate it. Now I just get a regular notification when I have a VM.
The only good alternative to actual VVM I've found is Google voice.
How does CloudyG3 perform compared to an AOSP rom on our G2? I'm running AICP right now and love the stock feel, but have some issues like GPS. Is the G3 UI that much better than AOSP?
com.android.phone keeps crashing on me.. basically making the phone useless on this rom. Anyone else have this issue? If so.. any luck fixing it?

Well my intention was to put it in the VS980 General Section. Im not sure if it got moved or where it currently is, as I am on mobile.
I am running 2.0 and heard 2.1 has the phone force close that prevents usage. It appears some people experience this while others dont. Could depend on previous rom.
Im in no rush to update. I'll check out the build prop changes. I have root explorer. Although I thought that this was the purpose of the aroma installer.
I have selected the Verizon icon set in G3 Tweaksbox but still see the occasional Roaming icon. Not a big deal. Still works fine.

I had the same exact issue so I was forced to downgrade to 2.0, and the dev didn't really seem to know how to fix it, although 2.0 is truly great on the VS980. Would be great to be able to run 2.1, although I was able to get it to work as soon as I changed it from global mode to any other mode that started to crash.

2.1 worked fine for me no issue for two days. You either didn't clean flash, or did something wrong.

You tell me. It works fine.
You restoring system apps and or data?
Using xposed modules?
Flashing a different kernel?
Removing system apps?
Flashing any mods such as status bar with the ROM?
You check md5?
Using twrp 2.8.1?

UNOFFICIAL AICP for the Sprint HTC One
Since @superfes is no longer using this phone, I figured I would post some unofficial builds of AICP (Android Ice Cold Project). The previous thread is intended for closure, so we can use this one. To be clear, I'm only compiling this ROM and will not be troubleshooting specific issues. I will do my best to troubleshoot, but no guarantees. Any help on this front is appreciated - I'm new to this and am interested in continuing to learn.
I'm planning on putting together a build once every week or two for personal use and will share that with you guys.
Obligatory disclaimer: I am not responsible for any trouble you may run into with flashing or otherwise using this ROM. Just because it is working well for me does not guarantee that you will have the same experience.
For those of you wondering what AICP is: http://aicp-rom.com

Build notes
10/3/2015
- Fresh build from 10/3
- Tested service / data when moving and no issues
- Remember that I am not troubleshooting specific issues. I'm not a developer. If you wish to post a logcat or anything like that though, feel free and I will take a look but not necessarily be able to provide a solution
- Yes, the digital roaming display is still there. In fact, when you see digital roaming, this is a sign that you are in service. 'Sprint' shows up when you are roaming so it is backwards.
9/27/2015:
- Didn't make clobber so build that hasn't been updated since 9/19 does not show an update (i.e. build will say 9/19 in many places since that was my last full repo sync). For future builds I will do this but didn't feel like waiting that many hours today
- Cherry-picked tdhite's commit from PAC ROM: http://review.pac-rom.com/#/c/13403/
------This has fixed the com.android.phone crashing problem + service being dropped
------ Usable as a daily driver again!
- From a full day on this ROM it's running smoothly and without errors
- 'Digital Roaming' display-only issue persists (been there for a long time now - no surprises here), and it is not indicative of actually roaming. Go into settings / about / sim status to definitively determine what your service status is.

Reserved for now
Appreciate any feedback you guys have too
I'll give it a try and let you know.

I couldn't get a solid connection. It was roaming and when I toggled the network type to global, I lost connectivity. I toggled back to CDMA/LTE but still no connection. I toggled Airplane mode. Still no go. I then changed it to Global and got a connection finally, but it was still roaming.
I hope this helps.

Same issue I've noticed everywhere, no proximity sensor feedback when in dialer!
I'm not pushing the power button every time I get called or I make a call. Only reason I'm still glued to 4.4.4.
Tjis is my 3rd m7 on kk and lp Ota, all 3 on both revisions, same issue.

The digital roaming issue is cosmetic - that one's to be expected (see build notes; you are probably not roaming). As for the connectivity drop, I haven't run into that. If that's happening infrequently and you can deal with the display issue, this ROM should be otherwise fine for service-related actions (calls/texts) in my experience over the last couple of days.

Yes, that one is pretty annoying. I have also noticed it on AOSP LP ROMs including this one and just deal with it. Sorry to hear that's holding you back. If there's a fix out there and I come across it, I'll be sure post about it and add to the ROM if applicable.
You can port camera stock m7?

Do you need a log cat when doing anything? Sensor programs show the proximity responding as expected.

First of all, great ROM! Have used AICP on my Nexus 4 and my TF300T in the past and it's always been a nice, stable ROM. Just got one question about non-market apps. I've been unable to install any, though I do have the option enabled in the Security menu. From what I've been able to tell, I can start the install of non-market apks with no problem but then the install screen closes by itself and once or twice, I've seen a pop-up that says something about Anti-piracy software activated. Is there any way around this?
So I need Gapps with this ROM?
How about MM?
Any aicp work?

Just wanted to stop in and say thank you for uploading this to the site. I have had a hard time finding a good daily driver and this is perfect for my needs.
If you are still building weekly for your own personal use i would greatly appreciate you uploading here as well.
Also I like the inclusion of more cpu governors such as smartmax_eps, has been great for pokemon go
