Candy5 looks awesome. I can't wait to try the GPe version once it is up. CandyKat has been awesome so far and worked flawlessly for me so far!

Thanks Alex.

Can i know the bugs?

 

[diamantericos]

Is it multiboot compatible?

 

[E90 Commie]

I think I will say: "Love at first flashing!" about this ROM. The Bluetooth bug seems to be solved, I could start and stop the music with my SBH20 without any problems (if I stop it on other ROMs, I just can't resume unless I reboot the device).

So I am going to flash my C6833 right away and the ROM seems fine otherwise. The first impression was really, really good.

The most important for me is -how is battery life with this ROM?

I am following your flashing adventures pretty much
Did you try it with Zombie kernel or just stock? How you like it compared to DU?

Can't wait for the GPE version!! Thank you for your work and the great ROMs!

I think this is a keeper. I have not replaced the kernel since it is shipped with a recent thing with build date of February 3 (Zombie is older). I have restored my backups and everything seems to work perfectly. No noticeable bugs yet.

I prefer this ROM over DU, mostly since this one has reached a more advanced stage of development - all features seems to work (DU will get there) and the more recent build also means that the CM12 Transparent theme works; I really love the transparent Settings offered.

From my perspective, this seems to be the ROM and I think it says something that it is RC already. The power consumption seems to be perfectly OK too.

Tomorrow will be the day when I take this bad boy for a spin when I go to work but I really like everything I have seen so far.

My initial impression of active use (restore data and so forth) is good. I will report more tomorrow but I am certainly pleased with the battery at the moment.

I was gonna ask this.

Saatvik bhai, waiting for your Spirit Lollipop Version.

 

[ronald_loulan]

I was goin to flash scrubber's lolipop this week and this Candy5 appear!
Im still on CandyKat and i've waited this Candy5...
Downloading.... :victory:

 

[E90 Commie]

Another thing that is working for me now is music alarms. I use Alarm Clock Plus and it always crashed when I tried to use songs and it happened on different LP ROMs but Candy handles it perfectly. No problems at all.

This ROM is simply impressive.

 

[ronald_loulan]

I full wipe my ZU and install Candy5.zip successfully but unable to flash the beta 5.0 gapps ...
E: Footer is wrong
E: Verification Error
Any reason why??
Or i just use the 4.4.4 gapps atm?

 

[Shashank1976]

I tried both 4.4.4 gapps as well as the lollipop 5 gapps ......same problem.
E: Footer is wrong
E: Verification Error
Signature verification failed.
Aborting installation....

I think cm recovery is having problems with signature verification.
