Workarounds
To mount internal/external storage automatically at boot:

1. Install latest revision.
2. Go to Play Store and install SManager.
3. Open SManager, and choose the "browse as root" option.
4. Navigate to /system/etc (this may require pressing the up arrow a few times to get to the root directory)
5. Find the file "init.cptb.mount_sd.sh" and press it to select it.
6. In the box that pops up, make sure "run as script" is selected.
7. Press the button for "Su" to enable the script to run as root.
8. Press the button for "Boot" to enable the script to run after the system boots.
9. Look for the option to save those settings (should be at the top of the window) and press it.
10. Press the exit button to exit.
11. Manually reboot the device.
12. Profit.

To install purchased apps from the Play Store:

• Install Xposed Framework.
• Install MoDaCo Toolkit.
• Choose option in Toolkit (under System) to "Disable Forward Lock"

FAQ
Q: Why doesn't my BlinkFeed show any pictures?
A: Because internal storage has to be mounted for it to do so. Complete the storage workaround mentioned above, reboot, and you should have pictures on BlinkFeed.

Q: Why can't I move apps to SD card/save video highlights/do anything else remotely related to storage?
A: Because storage card isn't getting mounted automatically, the permissions for apps to write to it are messed up. Once storage is working properly, so will all of these things.

Q: Why is my LTE data keep disconnecting and my signal bars not changing?
A: Because this is a WIP port from a GSM device. The signal bars are likely due to some hex edits that need to be made, but that is tedious and painstaking work. Feel free to jump in and help.

Q: Why doesn't camera work?
A: Because this is a WIP port from a device with different camera hardware. Also, because you haven't fixed it yet .

Q: Are there any mods I can install for this ROM?
A: I have had some success with some Xposed Mods, including Sense 5 Toolbox and Xposed Statusbar Mods. BUT BE CAREFUL! BACKUP FIRST! Any incompatible mods could bork the ROM.

After some testing, I want to share my findings.


When you first boot the Rom:
You might want to change the keyboard settings to QWERTY, since it's set to QWERTZ by default, unless you like it that way.



3G/4G connection:
It is quite buggy. It will connect to the 4g network, but only briefly, then it loses all connection. I also was not able to actually use the data while it was connected, either. It was not until I parked at work this morning did I see a stable 3g connection, as there is no 4g at my job as of yet.





Inaccurate signal readings and/or Statusbar:
Clearly you can see from the screenshot that I have no signal (which I never have at work), but my statusbar says otherwise. I'm working on checking the cause of this, or how to remedy it (externally, because I don't know anything about the internal coding...I leave that up to the devs). I used SignalCheck Lite from the play store to check.





Storage mount:
I found a simple fix to mount the internal! Find an app from the play store that allows you to Hot Restart/Soft Reboot. <---Same thing, for those who do not know.

Side notes about storage:
1) I learned by installing the Xposed Framework, and hot rebooting to set the changes. The framework didn't work, but I noticed that my storage had mounted when I entered TB to boot into recovery.

EDIT:
I downloaded the latest version of Xposed, and it works.

2) You don't need the internal to be mounted to install apps that are uploaded to Dropbox or Google Drive. They use temp folders, unlike downloading from browsers (which need the internal). I uploaded Xposed from another device, and installed it from Drive.

3) You cannot take any screenshots without mounting the internal. (Duh, where would it save?)



I was able to play music from my internal sd, and I was able to see my pics loaded in the internal.
Important: A full reboot breaks the mount, but another hot reboot fixes it. I haven't found a way to mount the external sd, but in the storage settings, it definitely knows that it's there, because it reads correctly.





Weird behavior of storage:
After a full reboot to break the storage, and a soft reboot to restore it, the music players would no longer recognize the music on the phone. But when I used a file explorer to navigate to the location, the files were there, and I was able to play them one by one.
After an unspecified amount of time, it began recognizing the music again. Not sure why.

Side note:
1) While having issues with the media storage (what if I wipe it....hmmm.....), the gallery always displayed pictures while the internal was mounted.

EDIT @ 8:16a EST:
So after being booted for approx. 2hrs straight, my ext sd is now being read. It doesn't appear in TB, but it certainly shows up in file managers. All of my music & all of my pictures are here. The only thing that I changed was the removal of the bloatware & the Google Apps that are available on the Play Store. It cleared some /system space, and now everything is being read. Strange....





Blinkfeed:
FIrst off, to use Blinkfeed, you must go to Settings-->Personalize-->Home Screen Style, and select Blinkfeed. The traditional style allows 7 screens max, just like before.

Secondly, and more importantly to know, Blinkfeed doesn't display pictures without the internal being mounted.



Camera:
Yeah....right. Not going there. Nothing that I can contribute. Just know that it doesn't work...for now.



Other:
When the phone first started reading my external, the ext_sd folder was empty, but now it is beginning to read everything as normal. It seems like time is the greatest factor here. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe it's the mount speeds. Who knows.



The zip file attached works. It works in any rom, actually, AOSP and Sense alike. It was found from the Stock With Goodies thread. You can also flash any of OMJ's mod packs, for this option is in all of them.



Those are my findings so far.

woo hoo! this must be an early Christmas!

 

[Darealboot]

So I noticed there's no superuser pre installed. What's the terminal command to get storage data to read for ti back-up? And what does everyone recommend for all the bloatware from whatever country this is hard off of? Haha! Woah guys. This is awesome though!
