Now that the daily builds are continued, have you or any other dev worked on CM12 for our device?

I am currently able to compile, but there seems to be a couple of issues that users are reporting,
  • Problems with com.qualcomm.location.apk
  • Updater script errors in recognizing proper device
  • System bootloops after 'starting apps'
Code:
E/installd(  269): DexInv: --- END '/system/priv-app/com.qualcomm.location/com.qualcomm.location.apk' --- status=0x0100, process failed

D/AndroidRuntime( 4634): Shutting down VM

E/AndroidRuntime( 4634): *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: main
It might be that I am not importing all the necessary repositories or the wrong ones (in my local manifests),
I would be grateful if device specific repos can be mentioned in the OP or second post
Thank you

Exactly. If they wanted to give us a full working built they can. I dont understand why theyre dragging thier boots, unless they want to release lollipop stock first.

On that topic -- why has this been re-opened if there are still no builds?
@jerpelea can we get at least a vague explanation of what's halting the builds from being made/uploaded?

The builds weren't being uploaded because the build server was down for a couple of weeks. Now that it's back up things should be getting back to normal.

They can't give us a full working build because the builds aren't fully working. Even with Sony sources and binaries the modem still isn't working, CM12 isn't fairing much better.

Using the build from the 28th

Confirmed not working & issues:
*cell service
*camera
*Brightness slider is finicky
*device gets VERY hot
*massive battery drain


Things that work on this CM rom but not the latest AOSP build:
*NFC
*sd Card Support
*USB mounting to a PC
* Location


Notes:
This installs the stock CM recovery so make sure to get rom and gapps installed via TWRP the first go.

I had to edit the updater-script to flash. Removed the first line of device checks as it saw mine as a aries and would not flash

PS, for the love of all things holy, please setup a mirror. The current provider is just shy of torture.

Just tried the latest renamed nightly for (z3c instead of aries)-
FXP-cm-12-20141228-UNOFFICIAL-z3c.zip

The WIFI radio seems to work - but the LTE and voice radio connects
right at boot and then disconnects and goes away.

On shutdown/restart the same thing happens - LTE/Voice connects at first
and then it goes away.

I saw funky radio issues when testing the pure AOSP aries builds-
so it may not be just the CM12 ROMS.

I also had to edit the z3c zip file to allow the aries product name
so I could install it from doomlord's stock CWM kernel recovery image-
but that was minor compared to the radio issues.
