M7: Unknown at this time, you tell me?

M7SPR: This build is Permissive for now and the RIL is working. The Home button is NOT working "Yet". Most things seem to be pretty solid so far. Let me know what you may find not working?

UPDATE: The gapps I had linked was breaking the home button. New link is in the OP.
It seems to be Roaming but my device is not activated on the network.
My builds will be back up after an investigation.

Been testing this out for the last half hour or so, overall it runs really well for a test build.
Here are a few of things issues I've noticed so far: No notifications show up in the notification bar, I'll get a vibration and sound when I get a text or email, but nothing appears up top. This might be more of a Gapps issue than a rom issue, but when I logged into my google account it didn't sync any of my contacts from my account. I also noticed that there is no lockscreen, which isn't really much of an issue anyway.
Overall I've been in the Android community for quite a while and this is by far one of the most complete test builds I've ever used. I'll continue my testing all day tomorrow and let you know of any other issues I come across

I am currently flashing the rom again without gapps. I'm thinking the gapps linked is breaking things. I have a lockscreen & other things in my t6spr rom that is missing from this one. I appreciate your input as well.

EDIT: I just booted without the linked gapps and have a lockscreen. I'll see if I can find the gapps used on my T6.

Try these as they work on my t6 https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=385035244224385489

I just wiped everything and reinstalled it all, now I have lockscreen, notifications, and all my contacts show up, must have had a bad install the first time. Everything works great now. I did use the full version of Open Gapps this time too, so maybe that Gapps file was causing the issues

I gave up on updating after seeing there won't be an official 5.1 after all.. I settled with badboyz 5.0.1 ROM.
Here I am after almost 2 years, decided I could come and check if there is anything new made by good people..

And I'll be damned this awesome thread appeared just today, what a timing!
Even though it's a test ROM, seeing the @bbacon 's feedback, I guess I won't regret it if I flash it right away?
M7 is my main and only device though, would you recommend waiting for another update?

The M7 is currently my only device too. I've only noticed a few minor things here and there, but nothing that is even enough of an issue to post about. Today will be my first full day with it, so if you want to wait a day or two I'll let you know if I run into any issues at the end of the day today

I guess I spoke too soon, I was using this rom for about half the day and I've noticed a significant issue. For some reason I can't send any text messages on this rom. I can send pictures messages and group messages with no issue, but when I try to sent a text message to one person with no picture it fails every time. I've tried it with multiple different Gapps, and tried it without using Gapps at all, and every time it fails to send a standard text message. I thought at first it might be a bad signal, but the same place it wouldn't send the message I was able to make calls, send picture messages, and access the internet, so I think it might not be signal related. Other than this one issue though everything else was working great. I've gone back to a sense rom for the meantime

The SMS issue is not just limited to this ROM, it's also present on the Vanir ROM build that I'm using as my daily driver as well as a few others. Thanks for your feedback, any other significant issues you've noticed?

Two things I've noticed so far using this ROM:
-video recording doesn't work, including in snapchat
-when trying to edit the buttons quick settings shade, the menu is scaled incorrectly on the screen.

Fantastic ROM otherwise, it's blazing fast and has done pretty well with battery compared to other Roms
