Is it possible to flash the new versions over the last one without to wipe everything?
I did on m8 Np, just make backup first just incase and no bug reports unless you do clean flash

Has anyone tried the new xposed for lollipop on this rom? I tried yesterday but got bootloop, I haven't tried it with SElinux permissive though
First off why would you need xposed? What options does it provide that the rom doesn't already?
Moto G reported it working on candy5.
I believe you would have to use permissive for it to work.

No real need for it, after the first failed attempt I decided I wasn't too fussed as Candy has most of the options I need 
First & Foremost Permissive is not required. Thats just a fact. So lets get that myth out of the way. For some LG devices however, this is true
Now, 1rstly, I use Xposed (App Settings) so I can lock Tasker into resident memory. HTC One Minis are notorious for having bad or faulty vol up/down/power buttons. They fail. This isn't limited to HTC devices. It's plagues iPhones and LGS and Nexus, etc. So using them constantly just make this fault become more inevitable. So with Tasker I use a Screen Off+Proximity Sensor(inverted) = input keyevent 26+root (it simulates the power button.) So now, no Buttons need to be pressed to wake my device and I don't have to worry about Tasker being dumped from memory(we are only working with 780MB RAM)
2ndly, Back to App Settings (Xposed Module), we are all currently suffering from Launcher redraws, GEL, Nova, Trebuchet, etc. It is what is, except when it isn't! Again, locking Nova Launcher into resident memory, these redraws are massively reduced . This is nothing but a good thing.
3rdly, I am a cord cutter. So I sling a lot(most) of Youtubes really good Docs and videos to my XBMC Set Top. SO again, Xposed to the rescue. Load up Youtube Adaway and it makes browsing and watching short clips and decisions whether I want to watch it on the big screen that much easier. No 15 seconds ads, no promos. Nothing, notta.
4rthly, Secure Settings uses an Xposed Module to dig deeper into the system. I use Secure Settings religiously. SO for me this is a no brainer.
Take Away: Xposed has some great uses, currently with the modifications it has to make to ART to get it up and running is truly a trade off one has to consider before making that decision, however that decision is based on one needs. Android is about options, its about customizations. Following your logic, Who needs Candy5?...Food for thought. Lets all just take a step back and appreciate Rovs hard work and effort in getting Xposed to work before we start marginalizing his efforts
FYI: All the modules I mentioned are Lollipop compatible. And for me, imperative.

Of course it doesn't....because the stock kernel on Candy5 isn't over clocked.....two dragons...I believe he wants a not overclocked kernel
but it doesn't make any sense
razognanoe kernel
It would be great tot have a custom lollipop with a razognanoe kernel.sounds great
Can you fix it please i am sure that we are the first.

i am sure that we are the first.We are doing a major clean up/redo of code to bring our users the best possible experience, we hope to have new builds in no more than 2 weeks.

First of all, the ROM looks really nice. I've had it on my device for several weeks now.
Unfortunately, the ROM was getting reaaaaaally laggy just after a couple of days. I would have kept it, if there where the opportunity to update it OTA without having to go to the Recovery all the time ...
As I said, it was getting really laggy just after a few days, so I switched back to CM11. Am using the M4 as my only Cellphone and the lag just drove me crazy. I'm not sure weather this has to do with this app or Lollipop in general.
Keep up the good work. I will definitely switch back when the lagging problem gets solved.

No one here having problems while doing a phone call? E.g. activating unwanted buttons (like pause, start a second phone-call, open other apps,...) and also when quiting a call and taking phone back from ears screen doesn't turn on again.
It's a great ROM, but useless if basic functionality is not given. I just wonder, that no one seems to have this problem.

No other than the lag everything worked fine. The only issue I had was that my front camera didn't seem to work. But I'm not that selfie guy so it didn't matter to me at all.
I just switched back to CM11 which runs perfectly fine and really fast. Although what I didnt like about that ROM is that you had to flash the update in your recovery and there is no option to do that in settings menu like on CM11...
Yeah, My phone has had some serious lag at times as well
Yeah, i've had some serious lag after a few days, random-key-presses with my ears during phone calls and i think the mic-"volume" is quite low, my callers had problems to understand me sometimes.
I've had the above also, I've been hoping the lag is due to memory leaks and will be addressed in the forthcoming 5.1 update.
Firstly: realy good work!!! :good::good:
but...
Mobile data do not work every time. There is an exclamation mark at the symbol au the top. Is this normal ?
The "user" function does not work !? there will be an update soon ? because the idea of an guest user is very cool
