Well, I did it. Ported my number to T-Mobile. Poorer signal in some places, but I get consistent 4Mbps at my desk at work.
So.... I'm going to pretty much retire from maintaining this OP.
If someone wants to start a new thread with a similar format, go for it. If not I'm willing to come in here and try to do a quick update once in a while. It's not like things are moving as fast as they used to anyway, and the appspot changelog is great for displaying what is going on.
[HIGHLIGHT]Some Goodies:[/HIGHLIGHT]
With HDMI out there are some cool possibilites for the Evo. One of the best examples is in a thread started by Lokifish Mars: Use your Evo as a Desktop PC
There are tons of great theme engine themes. Many on the market and some only available on XDA. But since I'm a self serving biased jerk who unfairly looks out for his friends, I've got to mention the Sculpted theme from Shift. I loved Sculpted on CM6, but the version he created for CM7 is incredible, and all you have to do is grab it from the market, and then choose it in Theme Chooser.
Everyone's favorite something-goat-something-Shift-hater Karadorde dropped a little ray of nightly flashing sunshine in our lives. It's a recovery flashable script similar to Calkin's flash all that just flashes cache and dalvik for those times you've gotta have your nightly fix, but don't feel like setting everything up again. Check out his thread for instructions, and download the script there or here: nightly wipe zip
rstuckmaier has basically been doing my job for me recently, and created a thread just for CM7 fixes, tweaks, and work-arounds.
WiMax support is built into CyanogenMod 7. HDMI mirroring is supported in the kernel, but you will need an app to turn on mirroring. You can grab HDMwIn from the market. After trying it out, please support further TeamWIN projects by buying the donate version.

##########################################
Please bear in mind this is a nightly build, meant to be a testing ground for developers, and there may even be times the new nightly won't work at all. This is a common way of working in open source software. Most of the problems you are encountering the developers are already aware of. With that said, most of the nightly builds has been very solid and stable for many people here, and several of us that are used to development software are using it as a daily driver. Just realize that is not the intention of nightly builds.
[HIGHLIGHT]CM6 features not available & Bugs[/HIGHLIGHT]
Camera does not have touch to focus and some other features from CM6
Bluetooth Mouse cursor - BT mouse will connect, but acts more like a trackball. See the Use your Evo as a Desktop PC thread for a patch.
No 720p video recording
GPS often will not lock. Cyanogen said he is working on a fix for a point release. Basically the non-open source HTC drivers were used in CM6, but for CM7 they are using the open source reference drivers from the chip manufacturer. Something is strange or maybe even buggy about the Evo hardware. The good news is there is a workaround that has worked for most people.
Note - this is pasted from rstuckmaier's excellent tips thread
Make a Nandroid of your current CM7 setup.
Boot into recovery and perform a full wipe (or use Calkulin Format ALL zip)
Flash any Sense ROM
Open the Market and download MSL Reader, write down MSL.
Open Dialer/Phone and type ##4772579# (##GPSCLRX#)
When it asks you for a password type in your MSL
Reboot phone
BE OUTSIDE
Turn on GPS and open Maps, allow it to fully lock your location (may take a few minutes, do not just wait for initial lock).
Leave GPS on
Turn off phone, reboot into recovery.
Nandroid restore your CM7 backup
[HIGHLIGHT]Installation Info[/HIGHLIGHT]
You must be fully rooted (including NAND rooted)
Nightlies are posted at: http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/nightly/supersonic/
After flashing the main part of CM, you will probably want to flash the Google Apps Add-On, which adds the Market and allows you to download things like GMail, Goggles, Voice Search, and Maps. Gapps is available here: http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
There are now only two versions of GApps, one for Tegra CPUs and one for non. For the Evo you want the standard version without Tegra support
GApps changed for CM7 and only has the basics for market access. When you first log in you will be given a screen of checkboxes to download the apps you want. You can also add them manually later from the market.
DrMacinyasha's goo-inside.me is the official source for GApps, and also mirrors most of the other content:
drmacinyasha said:
Just a heads up, I've been keeping my own mirror of all of the CM stuff for EVO. Useful for those who want the gapps updates but don't have an account on the CM forums, etc., and also has all of the Snap kernel files mirrored:

[HIGHLIGHT]What features are included[/HIGHLIGHT]
Full AOSP
Running 2.6.37 Linux kernel
Android OS 2.3.3 (Gingerbread)
More standard Bluetooth stack. HTC uses a funky proprietary bluetooth implementation. Cyanogen has replaced this with a more common one, so the phone now supports HID (Mice & Keyboards) and the Wiimote app in the store.
Tons of Cyanogen Mod tweaks and tools, including but not limited to:
Updated music app with extra options and lockscreen controls
kernel speed tweaks
Notification Drop down power control
CyanogenMod Settings integrated into settings menu
DSP settings
T-Mobile theme engine
Torch flashlight uses camera flash, includes widget
Additional settings and tweaks for Contacts, Dialer, and MMS (maybe more)
[HIGHLIGHT]FAQ[/HIGHLIGHT]Q. When the new nightly comes out can I just download and flash over the top of the install?
A. Because these are development nightlies they are not guaranteed to work in this way. In many cases this may work fine, but even if it does it may not implement a new feature or fix. For example the MMS fix would not show up unless you wiped, or deleted a specific directory. However, this usually works ok.
Q. What has changed in the newest nightly build?
A. For me the easiest thing has been to follow the CM Source twitter feed. Pretty much any change that doesn't mention another device specifically will show up on the nightly.
Look here for Cyanogen's changes: http://github.com/cyanogen
and here for CyanogenMod in general: http://github.com/CyanogenMod
Q. Flash isn't working
A. Go to the market, search for "Flash Player" and install.
Q. I don't have a Market icon or any other google apps
A. You didn't flash gapps or flashed the wrong one
Q. Rom Manager won't let me download the nightly
A. Purchase the premium version from the Market
Q. Why is the launcher slow?
A. It isn't really, but the defaults used on ADW make it feel sluggish. Try some of the settings from this post by midri
Q. How can I update PRL?
A. There currently is not a way to do it in Cyanogen Mod. You will need to restore a nandroid backup of a Sense ROM (you did make one, right?), update the PRL, then Nandroid back to CM6.
Q. What times are the nightly builds? And what time in my timezone?
A. To my understanding, the bot begins building at Midnight UTC which is 8:00pm EST. They finish around 30 mins later. You can always check this link and verify that the mod date is the next day (for us in the U.S.) In otherwords, It's currently 10:50pm EST on 7/10 and the mod date on the zip file is 2010-Jul-11 00:35:56 so I know it has been built:
http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/supersonic/
Q. Rom Manager says there are no updates
A. Since these are nightly builds and not releases, the filename stays the same and Rom Manager knows you have a rom named that already. If you want to assure you have the latest, clear your download cache and re-download.
Q. Can I install the Sense dialer/music player/widgets/etc. ?
A. By default no. Sense widgets only work with the Rosie launcher. Most of the other stuff it tightly bound to the framework, which is why many of the AOSP applications can not be easily installed on a Sense ROM.
Q. Is there any way to run the stock android 2.3 launcher instead of ADW?
A. Search the market for "gingerbread launcher." There are several available for free.
Q. My notification toggles keep disappearing! Where did they go?
A. Often changing themes will cause this. Just grab the Notification Restart app in the market. It basically just kills the notification bar so it resets.
Please feel free to add any that I missed, but hopefully we don't get repeats of the same answered questions or known bugs. I hope this makes things easier for everyone to know what's going on.
Thanks again for your hard work, Cyanogen, Toast, #teamwin, and all of the CyanogenMod Team!
Thanks for the thread!
sent with evo 4g
HW 0003, and Nova panel.
I'm getting a green bar (graphical glitch) at the top during video playback.
Getting it on videos using the YouTube app, and also on some MP4 movies on my sdcard. Happens no matter what video player I use.
Oddly enough, videos that I had recorded with the Evo camera do not have this.
Is it just me? or anyone else having this issue also?
As far as the Facebook, I cannot add my facebook account. The first time it asked for info and appeared to work, but if I go back into Accounts it's not there and I can't seem to add it.
I downloaded Swype beta from the site and it's working fine for me.

Yup, same here, 003 with nova and seeing the green bar. But, mine switched between purple and green at first, then switching to just green. But weirdly,I've only seen the bar watching hq videos on youtube. Regular movies don't have that....odd.
Would it not be better to use a bug tracking software, even a free one to keep the info sorted?
also have green bar, hw3, novatek panel. don't have it in videos i've recorded. it may just be a function of the youtube app, nothing to do with cm
Another bug.
When you go to cm settings > input settings> haptic feedback tweaks > change any of the patterns ...cm settings force closes

When the new nightly comes out can I just download and flash over the top of the install so I dont have to start from scratch tomorrow?
heres a question:
is there anyway to get the htc dialer app back on this rom, or is that part of sense, if so can you please link up a apk?
so does this mean that there will be a new build every night from now on or what.
Fring works on WiFi with no problems but FC's when on 3g.
Turn Exposure to +1 on front camera to make it not so dark.

if i understand it correctly, it will be recompiled every night. however, if no code changes were made during the day, before compile, then the nightly won't be any different than the one before.
Also Exchange support in Froyo does not work reliably. This is not a bug in the mod, but in Froyo itself.

Bingo. Changes may be EVO specific or may be generic to all devices. This is why nightlies are not reliable, they are simply a snapshot of the code at the moment. I read a comment that sounded like one of the changes made for the EVO broke the Droid build. Don't think of these as general use builds like we see from DC, Avalaunch, etc. When there is an RC or final, cyanogen typically will post that here.

First I want to thank thor2002ro for ClockworkMod Recovery and making flashing and updating fast, easy and safe, also vache for providing 3.1 update, sc2k for an easy and quick way to root any version of the A500, last but not least Interphaze Solutions (whoever he is) for the Acer Recovery Installer.
I just updated (from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1) IT works, no wifi issues, GPS now takes a lot to get location, and seeing a lot of performance improvements and fixes, was late and delayed 5 times but here it is and we are enjoying it.
Thus I wonder why no one even bothers to make a change log or something... like all the changes and improvements:
Acer_ A500_4.010.22_COM_GEN1 Applies to all Android 3.1 Acer Official Updates, OTA or Leaked (installed yourself).
New Apps
Kobo
eBook store and eBook reader
Movie Studio
Video editor
Updated Apps
Youtube
Moved fullscreen button, HD button, play button, slower double tap needed to go fullscreen/back higher performance, Cache fixed and higher cache, doesn't stutters/chops/drop frames at start or when OSD shows up (volume, controls, etc).
Flash 10.3
Music
Better looking, UI improvements, it finally updates, Google Music Beta
MusicA
Better looking, UI improvements, lots, better "listening" (now it can identify Japanese music played through my phone, SWEET).
NFS Shift
Icon changed, now is more visible and have HD on it, who knows what else is changed
Improvements/Fixes
UI is faster, more responsive, doesn't stutters like before.
Wifi Icon in notification bar now shows net activity.
Support for ACC+ streaming (or whatever uses winamp in shoutcast radio streams).
720p videos play smoothly, some 1080p videos too (simple profile ones I think, needs confirmation).
New Video Codecs Support, now MKV videos plays with Mobo Player (didn't worked before).
Video intro for games pre installed now always plays (before they crashed, but didn't force close the game)
Auto-brightness works now, it just changed its behavior, its not longer "instant", takes a while.
Recurring Issues
Randomly waking up/screen turns on
Mic still SUCKS (srly did Acer even test it by recoding someones voice and playing it back just to hear how well/awful sounds?)
New Issues
GPS wasn't broken, now it is (can see 7 sats but only onle lock after 2min and really poor signal)... maybe has something to do with GEN3 now updated to GEN1 thus missing something, can someone confirm.
Youtube widget is micro and deformed, there is a fix here in XDA.
New bloatware, or at least more packet, includes 2 songs and 2 videos (maybe 720p haven't checked) to show off in retails maybe.
You can help to make this a lot more complete, please contribute, post your discoveries, findings or changes you noticed.
And finally excuse my crappy english, as you can easily tell its not my native language, any correction and recommendations are very welcome.
Reserved for more space (I got this recomendation from a friend thank you).
Plus bump
Google+
"Huddle" is installed when installing Google+, which does *not* cone pre-installed on 3.1 - sounds like you already had it there. Installing Google+ creates two shortcuts - Google+ and Huddle
Speaking of, if anyone wants a Google+ invite, dm me - I got a few to burn
Huddle is part of the Google+ mobile app. It's for group chats.
* damn, someone beat me to posting this by a few minutes... serves me right for not refreshing
I also updated the "Vache" way from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 to 4.010.22_COM_GEN1.
One problem - now seems to be fixed - I had on 1.141.01 was the following :
Could only connect to our company (outsourced) Exchange-Server 2007 via IMAP whereby whenever I would forward a message, the forwarded-message would "loose" the original content when send. .
I did try and (bought) Touchdown TAB, which is great, but for some reason does not allow me to retrieve/sync older messages.
Marcher
speaking of the autobrightness
Seems to only work if I set brightness to a level in the middle and reboot. Once I touch the slider again no auto bright until reboot. Any fix for this anyone is aware of?

After a while I noticed that auto brightness WORKS!!!, but its no longer "instanly", it takes awhile, give it a minute.
To test it try to put half brightness then turn on auto brightness, after a while turn off auto brightness and BOOM goes the light, so it works just changed its behavior bad auto brightness, bad
Thank you all for your contributions, updating ASAP!
I think two things mentioned in the OP *could* be hardware issues. I'm on my third A500 after returning the second one because the microphone would barely pick up my voice. This new one records my voice rather well, but voice to text is still a bit spotty (I blame the google servers for that). Another thing I have noticed is that the auto brightness on this unit actually works quite well whereas on the older unit it barely worked, if at all. I can change the brightness all the way up or down, turn the auto on and within a second or two it sets it to something more appropriate. If I cover the sensor the display dims, if I hold it towards the window it brightens. It works like an auto brightness should work. I still have 3.01 on the new unit and am waiting for the OTA update to come, whenever that is...
The second unit was manufactured in may, this unit is manufactured in april. I suggest if you have concerns about auto brightness and microphone, see if you can test another one at the store.
One question for those having issues with the microphone and auto brightness? Did you apply a screen protector? If so, was it a wet application type?

My new A500 has an auto brightness that seems to work perfectly. I tried what you said and it still works ok. The unit I returned a few days ago had a bad microphone and the auto brightness didn't seem to work well - or at all.

We recomend you to do a back up first, update to 4.010.22 and after a while acer tells you theres a new update 4.010.30, thats it, you're updated and good to go, 100% stock... I still recommend a custom rom, they rock.

remember before when increment updates are specific to what rom you're currently started from ??
users might just download the latest "increments" ... I wondered if that might screw up their device due to incompatibility ( starting rom build number )

I'm quoting myself from another thread:
Well, I installed CWM, acer recovery, rooted and went from 3.0 (from stock 1.141.01_EMEA_GEN3 - 4.010.22_COM_GEN1) to 3.1 (.22), then unrooted to go for .30, rooted, got .38, updated (didn't need to unroot, didn't need to root again).
The history of my life

And I think the issues (reboot frozen) was due acer recovery or CWM... software highly experimental is prone to fail time to time... And nothing that a factory reset plus unnistalling recovery and cwm doesn't fix. I think but don't bet on it.

I got the Android 3.1 OTA update last night. I'm in Australia and my new build is Acer_A500.4.010.40_COM_GEN1
Wonder what the difference is?
As well as getting Kobo (which I don't want as I already have Kindle) I also got Zinio in the update, which "allows" me to buy magazine subscriptions which I can't get on my Kindle because Amazon won't sell them to me in Oz.
So far (less than 24 hours) everything seems to be okay except that Kaiten mail seems to be stuck somewhere. Dunno if its related.
Well guys we have a pretty good chance to include everything (...what is possible) we ever wanted on our Atrix...
in an other thread th3bill (the dev. behind AOKP milestone 6 port) opened there were alot of request for features on the next builds, th3bill offered to open a discusion which include all requests in one place.
** Th3bill, we love your work and your willing to do for others. your private time "wasted" on porting and developing is not ovious and we do appriciate it. keep on the excellent work and again a major thank, us - the users.
since nobody did it so far i'll start:
i whould like the next build to include:
1. call recording option.
2. video call option.
3. webtop interface?
4. google music.
5. led color control in order to customize notifications.
6. o.c kernel.
7. some other cpu governors.
8. google's android jellybean featuers? espacially build-in voice recognition.
things to fix (what i've noticed):
1. video cam - known problem.
2. browser issus (fc when changing ls and portrait).
3. edit custom brightness levels (fc).
4. can't change signal and wifi colors.
5. also battery bar won't show up.
6. wifi direct won't work.
7. wifi hot spot works and immidiatly stops(maybe it's just my device).
-By now your port is the best rom my atrix had so...big thanks !!!
-I know you working too hard already (DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN !!, i wrote all of the things i think can be added. with or without them it is still almost perfect.
guys it is your turn now...make some suggestions for improvement:
Hey Everyone!
I'm sure most of you know me by now. Those of you who do not, I am NOT the type of rom porter who gets upset by questions/requests/PMs. Just understand that I build 3 builds of MIUI (Photon, Atrix, Infuse), 2 builds of AOKP (Photon, Atrix), 2 builds of Paranoid Android (Photon, Atrix), as well as help Jokersax11 with various projects, including our Kitchen Sink. That being said, it might take me a little bit to respond...but I will.

-I know you working too hard already (DON'T FORGET TO HAVE FUN !!, i wrote all of the things i think can be added. with or without them it is still almost perfect.
guys it is your turn now...make some suggestions for improvement:

Enhancements:
1) Call recording, I need to play around with this rom some more...see if it has the capability...maybe I can pull from MIUI...can't guarantee, though
2) That will be tough until Moto gives libs
3) Loki and I have talked at length about this...we're trying to figure out a way to do it, but it will take a hybrid kernel and a lot of work. Not that we won't TRY...
4) This will be in the next release
5) Have an app in mind that I can include? Beauty Aroma is that I can include almost anything
6) I am working with Jokersax11 on making some that are compatible with our base. I know that some are kinda compatible, but not all....
7) By governors, I am assuming you're talking about some form of setcpu?
8) I have the apps on my PC...well some of them.
With respect to fixes, 1 and 2...those won't be till Moto plays nice with me and gives me drivers for ICS.
3) I need a logcat on this one please
4 and 5) Not too sure about these ones. I'll try them with my phone if I get a chance. If you can logcat, that'd be great
6) I think this is an ICS thing. Don't know that any of them do Ad-hoc at the moment
7) You need to forget whatever network you are near if you're connected...and make sure that wifi is ON before beginning tether
Sorry if I am a downer on some of it, but I would rather be honest with everything I tell you all. I have much love for the Android Community
I know of you and your builds well Th3Bill, unfortunately I'm just now working on my 10 posts, I have flashed everything for Atrix and Photon.
Much thanks

Just installed latest build an wanted to say thanks for bill's an jokers hard work..
I personally use the car dock alot an the transitions between audio playing and incoming call tends to be troublesome. When calls answered the phone doesn't port it over the USB. Usually speaker/headset and have to redock in call for it to work... also DSP manager doesn't have effect over the USB audio out. Only reason I revert to original moto rom.
That aside best cm9 based rom yet.

Also AOKP states it now supports adhoc.... tried on 2 different setups and no joy...
This is wifi direct I gather..
LS support also varies through various android tasks.

On paranoid android for the atrix when in tablet mode it won't allow me to make the recent apps the Sense htc style one, is there a fix for this?
Question/Report
Not sure if this is the right place to report issues. My luck, probably not. Here it goes..
I had your build 40. worked great!
updated to milestone 6 7b. worked better (yaay)
tried to update to milestone 6 revision. No wipe, same as previous, sent atrix into bootloop. tried few more times, same thing.
tried again with full wipe. Bootloop. tried again. bootloop. flashed 7b full wipe, works great again (yaay).
Just curious if you have any idea why my phone doesn't like the new one. saw in the rom thread a few others had same issue or similar, no answers there as of yet. i'm hesitant it try again unless you can think of something i could possibly be doing wrong somehow. Anything i can send or tell you that could help, let me know. Thanks
As for requests, i prefer Apex launcher over Nova. Maybe include it? it would be nice if i could uninstall Nova also
You Rock!
*So i tried installing again and it works now. not sure what the problem was*

hi,
not really worked...users didn't cooporate and besides cm 10 (JB) is already here and not bad, so this is closed!!
i wanna thank Th3Bill for his effort and wish you will continue develop for us.

Problems
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this. If not, i apologize.
I flashed your AOKP build 3 on my international atrix. The ROM doesn't recognize internal and external storage for me. When my phone boots it says that is safe to remove sd card. I used the two options EMMC and SD with or without build.prop tweaks. Also i flash this with FULL wipe (system, etc) The other thing that i cannot find are GApps. Can I use CM10 GApps for this rom ?
Thanks in advance.
So, are there options for an OCed kernel yet?
* Moved to development thread. *
I would really love to see an option to "Show only contacts with phone numbers" on Contact list settings...MIUI has this option and this is super usefull for me
MIUI SMS app is great too, but it doesn´t show smileys
Thanks
I have a good one! WebOS and Sense style multitasking (with long press home).

Hi Folks,
This is just an overview about the above mentioned tablet including the probs I had and how I got them solved.
At first startup I was wondering about the sticky rolling through the screens. The typical adjustment inside the developers settings hasn't solved it.
Sometimes it Stücks completely and booted Fa do my by itself and it got worst after installing all the Samsung "Goodies". Sometimes some kind of Bootloop. A recovery reboot was necessary in including wiping of the phone.
What really sets me up was the really annoying WLAN disconnects - switching of the Cell Data doesn't really solved the prob.
Bluetooth seems to work fine just BT Keyboards randomly disconnects.
I tried a lot of Apps and configuration changes with no real help.
Finally I decided to root the Tab and put HAL 9000 on it.
The only recovery which I was able to install was TWRP - Philz I couldn't got installed.
After that the HALL 9000 worked as described in the installation guide.
The first reboot after installation a big wow now the Tab was fast no sticky scrolling apps opens fast and so on - working as expected when buying.
Some useful software we included in the Rom especially X Posed helps fine tuning the tab. Then I changed the launcher to Apex and installed a HD 3 D Theme.
This really personalises the look as you want.
Now on my tab are about 300 hundred Apps the only thing which you need to tune is in Settings for developers ( 7 times build Nr hitting )
The animation settings to 0.5.
It runs smooth all above mentioned problems are solved lucky wise you have to root it to get it perfectly working lol to sammy.
Now it is possible to connect the Apple BT Keyboard and type perfectly with no disconnects.
With this changes you don't loose SPEN or its Apps. The Knox counter will be set to 01 - but it doesn't matter to me.
So far I understand Knox it's just a safe enviroment when taking using the device as a BILD device inside a company. When rooted it MUST change the value, if not you can bring a potentially dangerous device in a security enviroment.
Sofar it should not have any impacts to the hardware warranty.
That's all sofar if any questions feel free to ask if helpful give me a thanks
When did you download HAL? The thread is closed atm and links are disabled.

Thanks for information, downloaded it about a week ago. What's the warez inside ? I thought all was OK with it.
Hopefully there will be other devs providing a rom or a kernel for the 605.
Not really sure what the issue is. And yes, there seems to be so few ROMs out there for P605
warez in HAL 9000
I checked my HAL Rom and i think I found the warez, there 3 extra Apps which are great. I think everybody who has installed it should purchase them. May be that's fair for the developers or uninstall them.
The Apps I found are :
1. Ultimate Dynamic Nav Bar pro. ( really worth the money )
2.LMT Launcher great gesture settings ( i am not using it because got another solution, but would if I had found this App first )
3. Greenify ( a battery saving solution which WORKS ).
4. Screen Recorder Pro. ( deinstalled because I don't need it )
I think buying those apps is fair and the Rom is worth it.
I really want to try this ROM but the links are gone. I wonder if the thread is going to be opened again.
I also dont mind buying the apps if I'm really going to use it.
I hope they resolve the problem soon as we only have few ROMs for P605.
Yeah why is it disabled ? There is not so much rom for 605 and one of them is banned even it is liked ... Interesting

rom news
Hi again
Beside the HAL ROM is now another rom ready for our Tab.
It's called stocky rom (stockyrom.de) it hasn't that much changes in it but I think worth trying and may be when some people giving feedback to the developer it's getting mor sophisticated.
If you guys still interested in Hal rom and going to delete/buy the warez items I got it on dropbox.
I am personally contact the stocky guys and get this rom working as wanted.
CyanogenMod 12.1 is a free, community built distribution of Android 5.1 (Lollipop) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone, tablet or PMP.

Mitigated a kernel issues causing lag
CM Sources update
Dude, thanks. Sero 7 and Dev's just keeps surprising me.
LOVE IT, minus one killer bug.
Thank you so much for this wonderful ROM. I understand you are a busy man and are working on many things at the same time. But there is one bug that I've noticed in this build, that may or may not apply to more devices, I am not sure. It seems that it is possible to set the brightness to absolute zero, and by that I mean that the backlight goes completely off and you can't do anything. I had to reinstall the ROM because I accidentally did this the first time I adjusted the brightness. Other than that bug though, this runs perfectly from what I've noticed.
I can't seem to log into your website, it wont send me a password in the email when I try and register, so I'm wondering if it's okay if I can post any bugs that I find here rather than in the comments section there.
Thanks for your work

I tried to install Mounts2SD after installing the latest build and it warned that the device was S-on protected which never happened on the DoPa 2.51 build. Any thoughts on what this would mean?

Hmm... S-on is an HTC thing isn't it? Like some sort of bootloader thing I think... Strange. Might be an Sepolicy issue.
I'll look into it... I currently looking into Apps2SD issues on another device ATM...
HTC and something else if I remember correctly.

A few things I noticed from the latest build (12/29). These are more notes on what I've observed from using the build so others might know ahead what to anticipate:
1 - I know this is alpha and I'm assuming this is more on the Cyanogenmod end but things really drag speed wise. Hopefully once more bug fixes and optimization happens in the CM12 code we'll start seeing better speed.
2 - Titanium Backup does not want to restore at all. I mean it just sits there. I tried to update Busybox and change over to SuperSU with no luck at all. Maybe it's just me.
3 - I'm assuming we'll see theme options further down the road on CM12? I really don't care much for the color scheme that it comes with stock as I prefer a more holo dark/blue look.
4 - From my limited time in use it seems like most basic functions are working fine for an alpha level build. External MicroSD is working perfectly fine now. I installed PowerAMP from Play Store and both mp3 and flac files are playing fine. Didn't have a chance to test BT. GPS, WiFI, headphone port, audio, etc are all working fine. The only thing I noticed is that WiFi passwords do not stick upon reboot. I know we had the same issue on the Verizon Note 3 with 4.4.2 and it was a simple build.prop fix but dang if I can't remember what that fix is offhand.
Thanks Meticulus for the hard work you've put into bringing us CM12. Can't wait for CM12 to mature and hopefully we'll get CarbonROM Lollipop soon as well.

1. I have noticed the stutter when launching apps and although I wish i could, I can't blame this on the CM team. I have not yet been able to narrow it down but I'll keep working to find it.
2. SeLinux/SePolicy is much more strict in Lollipop/CM12 as compared to KitKat/CM11. If it is an sepolicy issue then avc denials will show up in the audit log (/data/misc/audit/audit.log). If this is the case then it may be that sepolicy will need to be modified to allow TI to work... However making that change may cause security risks.... Then it may be some else entirely. Logs would be helpful....
3. Afaik, CyanogenMod 12 has not been released yet and there aren't even any official builds for "supported" devices. I suspect they still have a lot of work to do. The new "theme chooser" introduced in CM11 is missing. There is no built in "performance" app as there usually is...
4. Bluetooth definitely does not work. I'm going to have to get creative and/or lucky to get that working properly. It's a question mark right now. I do plan to try to find a way to build and maintain more than one ROM. It'll take some time though... Might not be Carbon... might try a different ROM....

I'll try to get you a log in the next day or two. I've been busy working on a project on my Verizon Note 3 not to mention I'm still trying to find a recovery that will still let me restore back to my CarbonROM 4.4.2 backup. Seems like the newer recoveries aren't letting me restore back... very weird.
