Yes I downloaded it and will test now.

Edit: yeah as expected, same bugs: no recovery, no wifi /wifi hotspot, no camera and no mic!

Regards,
Omar.

Have install this. Android version 5.0.1
-Wifi is not working
-Mic is not working
-Camera is not working

AFAIK all Lollipop Roms have the same problems.

As he wrote: "...early alpha...".

I can live without wifi and camera, but not without mic.

I wonder why there are now 3 "unmodded" unofficial ROMs in the works even tho all 3 are identical in what they can and will do.

Its because every one started using the same source code given by Sony
And all these roms aren't complete yet. The devs are Working on them
Which means once they fix these issues they will start adding their features which are going to differ from each other

Does this ROM come with recovery? If yes can anyone help me with the boot.IMG file please?

Telephone and WiFi

Can I use the phone functionality with this ROM?
And is the WiFi still broken?
I can live without the camera, but not without a phone or WiFi.

Well can't say for these builds as I haven't tried them, but you can use Omar's build ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...nt/rom-cyanogenmod-12-lollipop-amami-t2957489 ), which is actually build up from the same sources and more or less everything except camera works (LTE, WIFI, mic, system audio,....), I've been using the ROM for 2 days and it's stable enough for a daily driver
Anyhow, you can try today's FXP build from this thread as it should be the same or nearly the same as Omar's

I think better would be like this: me and @uristic are on @omar's ROM for 2 days already and everything is working fine, except for camera.
Having this, it would be better for you to test the FXP build to see if or what is not working, and update all of us. And you could came for sure on @omar's build.
This is only a suggestion. If you don't want, just flash @omar's ROM and.. and that's it.

Thank you.

Hi all.
Thought I'd try this rom on. Unfortunately I'm not doing very well. Anyone please tell me if I missed some step? I simply flashed the kernel and booted into recovery (which looks really nice and shiny btw). The problem is that if I go into "apply update" and choose either "choose from sdcard1" or "choose from internal storage" I'm just thrown back to the recovery main menu. No error message or anything.

Flashed back to CM11 and from there everything works as it should, so no hw issue.

This is with the 20141222 version.

/Daniel

Why dont you flash the whole cm12 .ZIP from your cm11 recovery? And try to use install from SD card instead of apply update
