Snapchat doesn't let me log in. As the Snapchat support said, it's because the root access in 7.0 and 7.1 (it's ridiculous), they don't support it, but they do support in 6.0...
On startup, settings is crashing. If you try to change the status bar's icons, for example the battery's icon, it doesn't change, and if I try to set that the percentage to be shown, it just doesn't want to change it. Advanced reboot works.
Great work, but I need Snapchat af, so I have to downgrade to 13.0...
Maybe, if you could fix the Snapchat problem, it would be pretty nice.
Thanks for your hard work Kyasu, we love you.

The problem is related to Snapchat, not the ROM.
So that can't be fix by a ROM dev or builder.

You can try to hide root, though.

CyanogenMod 14.1 with video recording actually working

Download: CyanogenMod_14.1_ks01ltexx_userdebug_video_recording_fix_2016-10-29.zip (MD5)
Video recording works (both 1080p and UHD), I've tested it this time.

Flashlight does not work in the status bar

Flashlight option from the quick settings menu seems to work too.

And sound is crystal clear like in stock touchwiz rom?

What about mms?

How's the battery performance comparing to CM12.1?

Yeah, that's right, but Snapchat just doesn't give a damn. They say "it's because of the root access, use original rom". I just typed them "fck off", and gave them 1 star, just to be a bad boy. #youonlyliveonce

I'll try the root hide, is there an app which gives me the opportunity to hide only from Snapchat? If so, can you tell me which one is that?

Thanks a lot.

Big problem!

The left soft button is the same as the homebutton. With CM13 i got the "options" with the left soft button.

Have you tried to deactivate root trough developer settings ? (SuperSU must be not flashed )

SuperSU + suhide might work.
Or Magisk and phh root.

This is not a problem, it's a feature. You don't lose any functionality, the Menu key has essentially been killed in Android a while ago

Hi, you can change the fonction in the button menu in the setting

 

[audianer]

Its a bug.... i cant get to the settings in titanium backup without that key, there is no settings button on the screen...

And at "Buttons" in the settings, i cant switch that key...

Didn't work. I've tried installing the SuperSU, it was successfull, and then when I tried to install suhide, it said "fatal error", because of the SuperSU is installed (????).

Any other ideas?

You have to remove CM root first.
Delete SU files from xbin and bin folders.

SuperSU also needs to be installed in systemless mode. It should have been flashed that way by default.

Try to flash this(I made it to use the Magisk) before install the SuperSU, it will unroot your ROM. And make sure that the SuperSU is installed in systemless mode.

Or, you can try the Magisk & phh & Magisk hide instead(I prefer this).
