Thx for this rom. Its awesome already. And the tipps for the nano gapps and cameranext are good to know, too!!!!!!
Update:
Swipe doesn't work so far. Rest seems stable until now.
Phone did reboot after scrolling in Settings.

update

Now it is better that all the posts are delete to start from the beginning , downloading now to test

 

[Developer.WL]

Nice work! Is it the same like arter79's CM12, but include Kernel, Gapps and Fix?

Camera noise

Which gapps are you using also the camera has lots of noise

 

[pepisho]

Edit.....sorry

Swipe doesn't work so far. Rest seems stable until now.

Probably AOSP issue. At least it doesn't work in CM11 either. No one really notices though as the culprit (libjni_latinime.so) usually gets overwritten quite quickly by a working version from gapps.

Nope. It's different. CM-12 official builds will be based on this. And it doesn't include gapps.

 

[solk2]

For now tkruzzes paranoid android gapps working best. Also use different from apps camera app. It's sucks.

It gets overwritten from what app from gapps? I am missing swipe a bit

Notification Sound sometimes doesn't stop in lock screen. I think its not a problem of THIS rom only, but do you know how you can disable the notification sound?

Copy 'libjni_latinime.so' from gapps to '/system/lib/' and reboot.
At least that's what i do with CM11. I can't speak for CM12 but i guess its the same.

camera

have any good camera app?

 

[DualJoe]

Usually the CM11s camera is very good but i guess its still broken for I9506 (improper resolutions, no scene modes/postprocessing).
A reliable choice would be 'Google Camera' as it comes with predefined hardware profiles/proper resolutions.

Hi,

My data connection is not working w/ this rom, everything else seems to be fine considering as an alpha build...
I'm suspecting baseband, but I couldn't find standalone basedband for this phone on the net...
Is there any possibilty to update baseband w/o instlling any stock rom?
(I can remember, that I;ve found odin/recovery flashaable basebands for my older phone...)

thanks for your work!!

happy new year!!...

[pergion]

The same for me. all of those works great.
Is possible to get back to kit kat

 

[Bluesir]

have any good camera app?

Camera Kk gives med real good pics..
Having problems with the cell reseption, works good for a while, then it suddenly lose all signals, and wont connect to the mobile network.

And when I check for updates to cm, it only shows cm11 updates, do i have to download it from this page, or can i use cyanogenmod updates on the phone?

I have this same problem, any suggestions to fix this ?

[boart]

I installed the latest kitkat 1 month ago.. i guess i got the newest baseband with that. Afterwards i flashed this rom, and it works. Of course its not perfect yet, but all works most of the time.

I had a reboot when i connected bluetooth to my car. After that reboot, it worked with the car too. I don't know why it rebooted but... its ALPHA

If you need, here you can find odin flashable modem for GT-I9506 (XXUCNK1), prepared and tested by me.
It include modem and NON-HLOS bin files. The file is a tar.md5, so is self-checking on odin the checksum.
Use odin v3.07 and select pda option... but if you already used odin, you know!
