I caved and flashed. My impressions are very good. Basically CM12, with current bugs, no stock mms right now, AOSP keyboard's gesture typing doesn't work, and the DPI changer doesn't work for me, just FC's settings when applying. If you really are implementing Viper, my hat goes off to you. GPS is solid, data is strangely better than the other cm12 build. Runs buttery smooth with Toxic, great battery life too. Does NFC work on this one?
EDIT: I also noticed that I'll always have a "Charging" status on lock screen when I'm not charging it, but I assume this is a current cm bug.
DPI changer will work if u flash Su zip...it actually broke when u implemented built in superuser...we are looking in to it this week...for now if u want the dpi changer to work...you do have to flash SuperSU zip
Love this ROM. D
Is there a fix for the no sim message on the lock screen? Maybe a prop build mod? Thanks for your work @matthew0776!
That is a CM sprint bug...u can always disable the text in settings...that is the option til cm gets it straightened out. My other sprint devices have it also on stock cm and C5... So it is UNIVERSAL with ALL spr devices on cm

Having a strange problem I don't see listed elsewhere... I flashed this morning and all was well. After installing a few apps from the playstore I rebooted and now I'm not getting any connection from Sprint. When I clict Mobile Plan from the ...More menu, it tells me to insert SIM and restart. Anyone know why it would work initially then quit working after a reboot? More importantly, anyone suggest a fix?

Its been rare I lose data 100%...if it has happened...turning OFF WiFi and rebooting ALWAYS restored for me... My other suggestion...would be to dirty flash the ROM zip and gapps again..and see if that helps

Weird...I had rebooted a couple times and no change. Was in a reboot when I saw your reply and data was on after that reboot. But during that reboot I got a green screen asking me to choose 1) DLmode or 2) reboot. I chose 2 and it booted fine and with LTE. I've never seen that green screen before...

Thanks for letting me know. Where in settings can you disable the text?

Does the rom have free hot spot. and when I mean free I mean I don't pay sprint and want to use it for those rare occasions and don't want sprint to charge me lol. I turned it on and connected to it and it works but I just want to make sure in not going to get billed for wireless hot-spot usage. thanks in advance for your help

There have been no modifications to tethering that we have implemented. If your carrier bills you for using the feature then that is purely because you used the feature. There are no back doors here at the candy shop. You get quite honestly what you do or don't pay for ;)
