It's not that Candy5 doesn't support xposed module, but XPOSED MODULE DOES NOT SUPPORT ANDROID 5.0.
I'm well aware of the fact that Xposed isn't supported under the Art runime. But thank you for the CAPS. YOUR RESPONSE WAS AWESOME....

Back to rational business. I'm pretty positive the issues we are having with an updated Google Play services stek from a GCM bug(Google Cloud Messeging). Any app or services that depends on seems to fail spectacularly. In Candy5 under the latest Google Play Services you can not even make an account. Settings > Add Account > Google > Crash

Back to the guy who scream about Xposed...THANK YOU SO MUCH I DONT KNOW HOW XDA HAS SURVIVED WITHOUT YOU.

If you're going to talk about rationality, then you should be posting " if this ROM doesn't support so and so then I won't run it." It has no contribution what so ever to a newly posted build.

EDIT: Also, just because someone has no hiccups with their build shouldn't mean you have to write a wall of text to try and tell them that something is wrong because your is unstable.

Ok let's all just claim down here.

Yes it is rude to say "until feature a, b, and c are added I'm not using your rom"

Yes it is rude to flame users that are having no issues and saying thanks (If there having problems and not speaking up that's there problem)

Yes it's rude to ALL CAPS A REPLY, thanks for correcting a wrongly worded reply, I like to be passive aggressive with it "um don't you mean xposed doesn't support L?"

We are in the process of adding more features and also keeping up with daily maintenance. Hang tight and enjoy the ride.

I'd like to go on record as starting: I'd love to use this ROM, Reragardless of using Xposed. I don't use my right hand. For reasons I'd rather not get into. I wasn't saying I won't use this ROM until x,y,z are implemented. I more saying "I can't". This was not taking ant jabs at the ROM or its devs. As 9/10 Roms don't have a hose features implemented. I don't even like using Xposed. However, due to having to solely use my left hand its become a prerequisite, unfortunately. Hence me asking if the possibility of said features are an option.

Hi
After a couple of trying and 3 clean install I had never got any FC error gapps installed ,superSU installed too . all my apps are updated even Google play service... @mattplo I have no reason to lie ... You should update your Hboot to 2.22 hope this can help you.

The only bug which prevent this ROM to be daily driver is the phone issue ...
Thanks to the developers who spends several hours to bring us a fresh ROM, keep up

I made a mistake earlier. I am currently running the latest Hboot. I've reinstalled multiple times with the same end result.

You need to chill dude, as a senior you should know many phones react differently due to release dates etc, I also said I would update ....which now I am, bugs experienced today phone really did work fine for several hrs and I made several calls and sent many text and email used fb and Instagram and twitter with no issues with FC, how ever my troubles started when I tried to use the Bluetooth in the car the phone paired with no issue but had no audio in calls, when I disconnected from Bluetooth to make the call I then experienced the first call not sent issue and FC in apps I tried wiping dalvic bla bla and rebooted to no avail no matter what I did I could not get the phone back functional, hope this helps with rectifying the issues. Had to switch back to KK but seems inferior now have tasted lollipop ?

I don't need to chill. I was up front and honest. And it seems you're experiencing the same results as everyone else. And FYI, I have never enabled Bluetooth. These problems occurred right after updating. Calla not going through I cant explain. FCs are due to GCM. Any app that uses GCM libs or calls to it FCs.

I don't know where you get off telling me I nees to chill ab d then coming back and confirming that you too are suffering from the same results as everyone else who installs this ROM.

I want to use this ROM. I want it to succeed. However, just installing it and reporting back without putting i t through its normal usage paces is a bit disengenious.

Yes it installs great, yes it runs great. Right up until the point where you wtary to use it for day to day activities and then it all goes to ****.

The problem I have with users posting "everything works great awesome ROM" is it shifts the burden onto others that have followed the steps to the letter. Then we/us proceed to do it over and over again thinking "well if he's not having issues what am I doing wrong". Wasting a ton of time. Only to find out...wait he is having the same problems.

And yes I am a senior member, which means I've seen this plat out hundreds of times always with the same result. Guy who claimed everything was perfect then reposts about how everything is no longer working fine.

When installing and testing ROM, usage is 50% of the battle. Fresh installs are only good for saying " it installed well, no bootloops, booted cleanly ". Any other remarks need time to assess the robustness or fragility of the ROM.

It's one if those " ROM installed clean, I'll report back in 12 hours" situation. Give it time to fail/succeed. No hard feelings. But I know when a user is being over zealous. And I feel like that's what you were.

And FYI: I'm not claiming anyone in this thread is lying. But having suspicions is completely acceptable. And that's what I have. Basic math in this thread proves that more users are having these exact same issues than not. If this ROM is running great and no FCs and phone works, understand you're in the minority. My intention is not to come off like a ****, however you are free to interpret that as you wish. I lose no sleep over it.

If I didn't want to contribute and I didn't want this ROM to succeed I wouldn't have been one of the first to install it and report back. And you can bet your ass when the next release comes around I'll be one of the first to install it and report back a thorough assessment. Because I want it to succeed and conquer just like Candy4.

Keep up the good work Dev.

Really dude you are so highly strung it beggers belief this is a phone ROM we are talking about not a world ending crisis,if you go back to my first post and read it again you will see I said I would update.........now Iam not sure aabout you but I do not have time to play with a phone for hours waiting to find its bugs as many don't seem to surface until you use them for a while anyway,I neitherhave the time nor the interest in playing reply tennis with you so I won't be responding to what ever you post again I have better things to do with my time.
I will how ever keep trying this ROM and wish the developer all the best getting the ROM adequate for day to day use and I am sure he will

Hi, I'm having trouble connecting to mobile data on this rom, it displays mobile data as 'on' yet when I try to connect to a webpage it tells me that mobile data is switched off.

update is out, see op for changelog and download link
Still having problems with default dialer/phone...calls not sent. I can eject the sim card and it will work but it's sporadic. And to confirm someone else who posted earlier, if you try to use bluetooth to make a phone call it locks the phone up. I have Uconnect in my Dodge and if I try to make an outgoing call via voice (through car's bluetooth) it snafus the phone. You have to reboot to fix and then you're back to "call not sent" errors.

Hope this helps. I saw a few new goodies...Audio and music related. Keep up the good work!

Thanks!

ROM is much more stable in regards to App crashes. The only cobsistant app crash I get is "Google Music ha stopped working". Obviously the same as other posters, no calls being sent and no mobile data.

And one very weird question. Why is thee no way to invoke recent applications? In your button section in settings there's nothing for the back button. Oh and doubketap2wake 100% doesn't work. However doubketap status bar to sleep works . MMS fails

Also, no matter how many tomes I log into the XDA app it always asks for my username/pass. Like it's not saving credentials in keychain.

36 hours

Hey been with the me to update 36 hours , I do not look or try to produce errors or bugs I wait to see what presents itself while everyday use takes place so, I currently have not experienced call not sent issue or any force closes I get a bit of lag but nothing substantial. The Bluetooth still does not work but does not screw phone or cause the call not sent issue as it did with the previous build, I like this ROM and with the progress made thus far I am sure this developer will get things hunky dorry keep up the great work the minor has never been better
Thanks again for all your efforts

Bug confirm

I can confirm the bug with dropped calls, and no mobile data.
I did a fresh install, checked the call ability, and mobile data. Both works well. But as the rom settle totally, I can't start a call anymore, and no mobile data too.

Ditto for me as well. However, aside from those this ROM is really close to being a daily driver. Just need some features added, features fixed(double tap screen to wake, etc). Mobile data needs to be fixed as well as the call drops and not sent issue.

I have Candy5 all set up and backed up just waiting on the next release to restore and install over. It keeps getting better. Really excited about this ROM.

Aside from it being beautiful, it's smooth and fluid and runs really great on the mini hardware.
