I flashed using Philz and it seemed like it was unresponsive, but eventually finished. I'm getting a setup wizard FC on initial boot, but everything seems to be working okay so far.

The only real bug I've found so far is with video recording. It records and stops fine but when I try to play it it says "could not play video". No big deal though. Rebooted a few times and haven't lost data once. Although, for some reason sending MMS it only sends and receives at 30 KB. Very blurry. I'm using googles messenger app.

Edit: I'm also getting quite a bit of stuttering. Scrolling, opening apps, switching in recents, etc.

No Data fix:
Download smanager (Free app)
It opens to a message..just hit OK
Then theres a weird view.. Look down at the bottom right corner, theres a menu button.
Select New Script
Name it something youll remember like "Radioreboot"
next have a menu again..choose smeditor
Type in Killall rild and Save changes
now go back to the weird view again and scroll down until you see the name you gave it
Open it and check su and boot buttons
reboot
When it reboots, you"ll get the SU notification...OBVIOUSLY grant
PROFIT

The THANKS button is to the right...LOL

Here are all the issues I'm having so far.

-No Data (Obvious issue with Lollipop roms).
-Terminal Emulator Doesn't work for me.
-Apps download halt and don't finish / install.
-Touches registered by the device seem to be laggy / sporadic from my actual touches.
-Black Screen of Death happened to me three times within 20 mins... This issue where the screen goes black and I cant do anything to wake the device... I even held the power button for a minute straight... I HAVE to remove the battery which stinks.

This was all on a clean flash and I factory reset and wiped all data and cache and installed the correct Gapps.

Along with these issues I've also come across a weird bug where the nav bar button to pull up the recents menu is unresponsive at times.

Pressing it until the menu comes up, or returning to the home screen and opening from there seem to be the solutions I've found so far.

The MMS issue is something that has been fixed. I use vzw messages and haven't experienced the issue. Its only in the new Google messenger to my knowledge. I can't remember the fix... But I believe someone spelled it out in the blisspop forum.

Hope this helps!

Here's the deal folks.

Two wrongs don't make a right. If you feel someone is being disrespectful, don't blast them back with a disrespectful post of your own. There is no need for insults or name calling.

Secondly, There are better ways to express your "opinion" about a ROM then saying, "this is WAY TOO BUGGY, I'm going back to X ROM." I'm my eyes this IS disrespectful. If you want to make a list of things that the Dev can take a look at, a good example is this post:

Here are all the issues I'm having so far.

-No Data (Obvious issue with Lollipop roms).
-Terminal Emulator Doesn't work for me.
-Apps download halt and don't finish / install.
-Touches registered by the device seem to be laggy / sporadic from my actual touches.
-Black Screen of Death happened to me three times within 20 mins... This issue where the screen goes black and I cant do anything to wake the device... I even held the power button for a minute straight... I HAVE to remove the battery which stinks.

This was all on a clean flash and I factory reset and wiped all data and cache and installed the correct Gapps.
This is a constructive post that can help the Dev take a look at these issues. Perhaps a log or steps to recreate the bug would be helpful too. Don't just spew some garbage about how this ROM stinks and X ROM is better.

If you have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Thanks,
El Daddy
