So I was reading about switching phone carriers for phones today. I have Virgin Mobile and it's a prepaid company by Sprint. Both of them run on a CDMA network, which is what I read, and phone companies that run on a GSM network use sim cards. Now, this doesn't quite make sense since all android phones I've had on Virgin Mobile had a similar card inside and CDMA networks supposedly don't use sim cards. Does this mean the a5_chl (Virgin Mobile) is actually both, CDMA and GSM. In the settings, I can select which one I want to use (in CM not stock htc rom) too. Since my a5_chl is rooted and says "unlocked" than technically, I could switch companies but only to a company that has a similar network to Virgin Mobile; like, sprint or boost mobile.

Does this ROM still have problems with the camera?? And are third app cameras working well (such as Snapchat)??
I'm on a5_chl (Virgin Mobile) and the camera works. I can snapchat, instagram, etc. On Grarak's 12.1 that is.

Ok guys, bad news.
The camera is not fixable at the moment. The Htc one m9 guys stuck at the same point as well. I probably have to wait until they manage to fix that problem.
So no nightlies for the next few weeks I guess.
Can anyone report which Desire 816 doesn't have their cameras working? I'm curious how far reaching this problem is.

Camera does not work with the new lollipop blobs. Since I didn't release any builds with new camera blobs yet, all builds have working camera.

Tested on a5ul. Still can't text or receive texts with native text app, or textra, or others. Can't hang up calls. Stays on hanging up screen though it does hang up the call. When you close it out try to call again it shows a return to call, add a call, use keypad menu.

If you know how to flash and how to backup from recovery, then test don't ask. And give reports back to help stabilise. Not wanting to moralize, no offense meant

Did what I 'preach' and main camera works much better than older build.
All seems to work, no sms received but that may be people ignoring me :).
Don't use music stuff, but phone, g+, gallery, Inbox all seem good (some on sdcard too)

+1flash junkie with a smile.

Whether the MIC working fine on calls, or still we need on/off speaker mode to get audio.?

So I either have somehow magically freed up space or it is a glitch. Now, I normally had around 600mg's of free internal storage and after a reboot, I now have 1.2 gb's of free internal storage. I was moving apps to my SD card but I had only freed up to around 800mb's.

I have a5_chl running CM12 (may 23rd build)

No, I haven't had any problems from this 6/10/2015 12.1
Build. When I flash a new build,I wipe internal storage and wait 15min from flashing ROM. Everything works fine,battery life is really good.
