New build: 7.2 is just released...Lots of hard fought battles to get this released lol. enjoy
I can only imagine what you're going through. BTW no luck on a fix for that visual voicemail. I can use the standard so it's not a big deal to me. Just wanted to let ya know. I'm not a programmer or anything. LOL
i have no idea how to fix that...sorry about that man :'( hopefully, it'll fix itself soon
No worries at all. I know you are doing your best and I for one am very thankful. Keep up the good work!
It's coming along fine now
I just needed to step back and fix some other things that were causing issues. As you can see in my SIG, I have a lot of builds now, so I'm trying to find a way to get some money atm for an amazing server. Because servers are cool Buttons

Ring Tone
Just curious if anyone has experienced this problem I have all of a sudden got.
My phone rings just once, (cycles the ring tone only once) but keeps vibrating until answered or goes to voicemail. This just started yesterday and I have since reinstalled the rom fresh. Still does it. I have read that this could be a glitch or bug. I also checked all the ring tones and they are OGG file format. I have tried to add the tag "ANDROIDLOOP=TRUE" to the ringtone and still no luck. I have quiet settings off. I didn't change anything in the OS that was sound affiliated.
Now the only change I have made to the phone is I upgraded my Hboot to 2.18 a few days ago. The easy way out I guess is to revert back to 2.14 but it was working just fine after the update.
Any suggestions anyone?
Thanks y'all.

Reverted back to 2.14. All is working and back to normal. The ring tone issue is the actual file not having the tag ANDROID_LOOP=true. I'll figure that out later. I was having other sound issues though so not sure what's up with updated Hboot. It was Evita and AT&T and for my HOX. Oh well.
*Edit If making your own ringtones, I used Audacity. To save use the export option. It will automatically bring up the metadata editor before save.Click add then enter ANDROID_LOOP in the description box then next to it enter; true. I used ES File Explorer to transfer the file to /system/media/audio/ringtones and then changed the permissions on other so that it can read, write and execute. Works perfect.
Hope this helps if anyone was wondering.

I'm having one problem with this ROM right now, and this has persisted despite flashing the latest nightlies for the past 3 or so versions. Everything else is fine or such a small issue I can't think of it, and I solved my ****ty WiFi/Cell signals by flashing an older radio....
Occasionally the phone battery will drain rather quickly, and the phone will be warm to the touch. Just sitting on a desk.
When I check the battery stats, it will show as much as 45% battery usage from "Android OS".
Additionally, even with the screen off and plugged in to a 1A car charger, if I use Navigation it will eventually either overheat and shut off, or the screen will refuse to come on and I have to force it off. When it comes back on, the battery will be significantly drained. Typically it's under 20%.
I have even started Navigation with the screen off, sitting on the seat or on the floor, shielded from sunlight with the AC on, with 100% battery. After about 20-30 minutes, it will finally die one way or the other like above.
Whatever I need to do to give you info, just let me know. Thanks.

My apn's and network are fine, but the DPI setting with 8.0 is much higher and I can't seem to change it (seems to be standard 320dpi rather than the 245-250 of prior versions). I've even tried to edit the build prop but the LCD density is not showing up in the file. I did find a menu setting for font size, but it doesn't seem to change overall resolution.
Anyone else have a different DPI with 8.0?
Mark
Edit: after a logic break, I think the LCD density line may missing from the build.prop file altogether. I was using a build.prop editor before when I said the entry wasn't showing. I then tried texdroider and it could not find the current DPI. Changing it and rebooting had no effect.

I was unable to change DPI either. I'm back on 7.9 due to the network issue.
I modified my build.prop and added a density line to the end... All is well again!
OK, a little backtracking here... Perhaps my apn's and network were not fine after all. In 8.0, although my apn's were listed and mobile data worked fine, I noticed late yesterday that I was completely unable to make an outgoing phone call. No matter which number I tried, whether picking a contact or dialing manually, every call would automatically end prior to the first ring. I thought maybe I messed up something when I modified my build.prop file, so I clean flashed and tried again... Still no luck. I will post in main thread as well as a bug report.
Network, APNs, and DPI after flashing 8.0
Following the suggestion here, I resolved DPI by using Buildprop Editor (direct edit didn't work and I'm inexperienced) to add property, ro.sf.lcd_density, of value 260.
Still lost with the network & apn issue and may go back to 7.9.

Network and APNs are working fine on 8.0 after flashing Torched Kernel 4.8 (will try 5 also).
EDIT: network/apns not working after a backup in recovery. radio is off.
I also experienced both the DPI issue and Network and APNs loss.

3Try the 2.18 firmware. By the way guys, I've been distro hopping and haven't had the time to set everything straight by the weekly release. So tonight's build will be delayed. Along with that, I'll try and sort out all the issues we're having3Haha thanks @ToyKalibur so much. Idk man, you made my night
As for the Google Camera, I'm not sure if I'm allowed because it's a Google Application. I'll try and look into it for you
