Again, so far so good. Everything been running smoothly!

OK, the nav bar is also missing when in landscape just like in the Sony version. Changing the DPI resolves it.

Also having issues with Bluetooth audio streaming, not able to get it to play to car just like CM 12 is having the same issue with Bluetooth audio. Will try to get a log for the issue. Also as mentioned in the original Z Ultra thread double tap to wake (d2tw) isn't working. Has anyone else gotten tap to pay via Google wallet to work with AOSP 5.0 ROMs? All in all this is the best ROM for the GPE IMO even with it's flaws. It's still much better then the stock 5.0 release Sony rushed out to the GPE.
Thank you Dev!!!!

New Release v1.0.0 out.

Latest Candy5 updates/changes
Latest AOSP updates/changes
Latest CM updates/changes


[Nav bar thing remains the same for now.
For best experience change dpi to 285 and change font size to 115% from settings>display...
This will gice a close to stock dpi experience with temp fix of navbar.]

How do I get recovery on this ROM?

 

[lexdad86]

Have you already enabled developers mode and made sure Advanced Reboot was enabled?

Yea, same here. Stuck with stupid cyanogenmod recovery. how do i permanently replace it with either TWRP OR CWM? I didnt get to do a few crucial things before i turned my phone on and unexpectedly booted my custom recovery away.

Hello. Cool Rom!
On a few other Cm based Rom configurations there is the option in (Buttons) to create a search button in Navigation bar. It's so nice with large devices to have that.
Could this please be supported?!
Thanks

Navbar customisations cause other issues like no navbar in landscape mode at stock dpi,etc. Henceforth it was reverted from the candy sources itself.
