Ok, so I have been testing the ROM for a while and I can say, it is good. Performance is nice, is small. BUT! There is a problem, some apps are missing and that would be the CAMERA & BROWSER app. Do add those please! This one has potential and is working fine. ;)

Works fine. Sometimes gets stuck on dialing and restarting the phone solves it, well for a while at least. Also when i get to 15℅ battery, it drains to 0 in less than a minute. Also, tends to lag a bit. End of report.

I get the fast battery drain from around 20%-0% on stock. I think it's more of a hardware issue with phone. Bloody annoying when you think your still good to go and a couple of minutes later your dead...

FOUND a BUG, well, a few of them really. When you call, after some time, the phone will make a crashing like noise and you will not hear in call volume anymore, also this will apply to all comm apps, including voip.

Think this is more of a CM source issue with our device. These sort of call issues are present in most if not all CM based ROMs for our device running Lollipop. I'm surprised CM haven't fixed these issues yet. It's what keeps me stuck on stock/CM11.

Does this need reporting to CM themselves or do they already know?

I would look at their jira and if it isn't there, report.
