About my CM12.1 Builds

I know that there are others building CM12.1 for us, but I wanted to do something different and offer you guys more frequent updates. Not only will they have the latest CM updates, but I'm also cherry-picking promising features so you'll get them before anyone else. ;)

I'll post interesting changes, for more details check out CM's code review: Cyanogen Gerrit.


CM12.1 Updates

I'll try my best to post a link to each successful build here in the OP. Thread title will be updated accordingly for the latest build.

What Works

FFC fixed in Snapchat (no more stretched face)
Ticker notifications are back for all you heads up haters
CAMERA IS WORKING
MMS is fixed as of 4/15/15!
LTE/wifi/3G/you know what I mean


What's Broken

MMS broken in stock messaging app.
You tell me.

2) Download gapps from euroskank (minimal)
3) Full wipe, flash ROM and gapps
4) Report back here

Support

Try and help each other out in this thread. Be nice. There's no need to post logs as I'm only a builder and not a true dev.

If camera is giving you problems try Open Camera or Cyanogen Camera. Use Viva Video if recording breaks.

Workarounds (READ)

Calendar:
If you don't have calendar sync under "accounts" install Google Calendar from the Play Store.

Camera:
Camera is not perfect. But it is working pretty damn well. Use Cyanogen Camera (in OP) for best results and try not to complain about Snapchat... I know it crashes a lot.

Root:
Before you complain about there being no root do me a favor and turn it on through developer options. Tap build number to access these.

What would you say that separates you from MatrixZone's CM12.1 ROM?
Are you guys literally working with the same code, you're just doing more nightlies while he's doing more subtle releases?
No offensive intended by the way, I'm just curious =o
That's it. Same code, but I know there are some of you who like nightlies so I thought I would give it a shot.

I'm also experiencing trouble connecting to camera. 3rd party appls like snapchat don't work either.

Other than that this build seems very good, bravo :)
