[ROM][UNOFFICIAL][5.1.1] BlissPop 3.4 by Team Bliss [Jewel]-6/10

Is the camera working for anybody else on this rom. Everytime I try to use opencamera it tell's there was an error getting the preview.

 

[Mr.BungIe]

The camera works before the first reboot, and if you are lucky, randomly after that. It's a known issue that's being worked on. The OP has an idea what the issue is, and will hopefully have a fix, eventually.

I'm uploading a 3/3 build right now. Camera still jacked up.

PLEASE note that you must flash the kernel after the ROM or you WILL get a bootloop. Bliss made some "enhancements" and will no longer complete a proper build of the CM kernel as an integrated part of the ROM zip file.

You can extract the boot.img from any other LP ROM for jewel and flash it via fastboot, or take advantage of one of the three options below.
Kernel Time (stock CM kernel built with Linaro and using LZ4 compression/decompression)
Half-Popped
Half-Popped SELinux PERMISSIVE

APN Issues?

If you're having issues connecting to mobile data or sending MMS messages, there's a good chance its an APN issue. If your issue is sending MMS, you need to change the MMSC. If your issue is mobile data, you're going to need to change the APN. Both of these are accessed the same way.

Unfortunately fixing this issue is a moving target. It had gotten pretty easy by the end of kitkat's development, but this is one of the few areas where LP has taken a step back.

I'll try to update this as AOSP & CM make changes to the source code, so the most recent (and easiest) fix is documented here.

Warning:
As the fix is a moving target, what worked yesterday, could break data or brick your phone tomorrow, so proceed at your own risk. Make a nandroid!

Click the button below to see old fixes. I'm keeping this here for reference in the event that tonight's commits break today's convenient fix.

You used to be able to delete the wrong APNs and just leave the good ones. That doesn't work anymore. UPDATE 12/29/14 - I'm not sure about this method with the latest build. This might work now.

You used to be able to get to the APNs menu and add the correct APNs manually. Same thing here!
UPDATE 12/29/14 - I'm not sure about this method with the latest build. This likely works now.

I fully expect that in a few weeks, one or all of these easier methods will work.
UPDATE 12/29/14 - I was right!

THE FOLLOWING IS A PAIN. ONLY USE IT IF ALL ELSE FAILS.
Required:
1. Root
2. SQL Editor Lite (or similar app)

Procedures
1. navigate to data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ and using SQL Editor, open the file telephony.db (MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF THIS FILE FIRST!)
2. Select 'carriers'
3. Select the magnifying glass to perform a search.
4. Enter '310120' in the filter value field and select 'OK'.
5. You're now looking at all of the APNs that your phone cycles through as it tries to connect to EV-DO, eHRPD & LTE. You need to look at this list of names, then determine which carrier you're on (for most of you, this will be Sprint, though myself and many others are on Ting.)
6. You're going to have to edit the following fields in the wrong APNs so that they match your carrier's APN settings:
apn
mmsproxy
mmsc
type
7. Save and exit.
8. It might work fine right away, but you may have to toggle airplane mode or reboot in order to get this to work.

Overwrite apn-conf.xml in the system/etc folder with the desired apns. Then use the APNs menu to pull across the correct APNs by selecting 'restore default'.

Making the file...
You can start by making a copy of the apn-conf.xml file. Delete everything except for test APNs and 310120 APNs (these are the APNs for Sprint and mvno carriers).

You want to have at least 3 APNs. They should all be the same, except for the bearer. You want one with '13' as the bearer, one with '14' as the bearer, and one without a specified bearer (almost positive this is indicated by using '0' in the bearer field.

Delete the apns that do not correspond to your carrier. If you're using Sprint, you really don't want your phone trying to connect with Ting or Virgin's apns.

Sprint's apn is n.ispsn with an mmsc of http://mms.sprintpcs.com. Ting is n.t8.ispsn with an mmsc of http://mms.plspictures.com. You'll find the others already in the canned apn file.

One more thing to add about Ting... I have noticed that on my ROMs recently if you go into APN settings, it says that you can't edit those settings. However, if you go back out and change your "Preferred Network Type", it will let you back in and you can edit what you want. This may not work on the first try for you. Once it let me edit, I first deleted every APN that didn't say "Sprint" or "Ting", then I replaced anything that said "n.ispsn" with "n.t8.ispsn", and then replaced everything that said "http://mms.sprintpcs.com" with "http://mms.plspictures.com" and it worked.

New build posted. Camera is still an issue...

Would you check to see if Ting APNs are in there properly by default? Some of my ROMs now have an update that makes it just work the way it should.

I can check later, but I do know that those APN updates come right from cm, so all cm based ROMs should have them from now on.

Not sure if slim will though. Someone may need to push it through gerritt. Vendor repo, of course.

Is this the best of the latest crop of new ROMs to flash?

That's really a heavily opinionated question. A better question would be: What features does this ROM have, and what isn't working properly? The answers to both should be found in the OP.

Yeah, I know that was a loaded question but I figured that I would ask as several of the threads are yours and this thread was the most active. Also, when I went to the OP from my laptop, the features section was under construction.

I will just have to download it and try it. I do appreciate your keeping the Banks Gapps link up to date. I have been using his Gapps for ages now

-Make sure you have CAPTAIN THROWBACK's latest TWRP recovery

This really isn't true anymore. The latest TWRP incorporates Captain Throwback's genius into their newest releases, so you can just get it from their website directly. Version 2.8.7.0 is the newest one as I write this.
