Is there a list of non-working features? I know some of the other builds have camera and GPS problems, or were you able to get them sorted? Thanks for the hard work!

Having hard time to install custom recoveries. Sideload isn't working for me via Cynogen Recovery. Renaming the zip to update.zip and apply update from sdcard1 via Cynogen Recovery does nothing or no access to sdcard1. So far there's no network signal with my c6802 and i don't see camera app. Have not install gapps as i couldn't flash any zip in Cynogen Recovery. Wifi and everything else is working perfectly though. Any ideas on the recoveries?

Have not check that yet :D.. In attempt to install custom recoveries i have made it not to boot anymore and since i couldn't flash anything in the recovery i'm restoring it back to sony then i'll retry.

@theinspector Yup the GPS is working fine with the waze and google maps.

The network signal is probably the same problem with the rest of the CM. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56071149&postcount=4 This was my fix for CM11 and it work for CM12 for those who are not getting network signal or no imei.

Camera not working.
Video is playing fine.

How did you manage to flash rom and gapps in recovery? I was stuck in cyanogen recovery and my sdcard (internal memory) was not detected.
