Thank you very much for your great work ? I like this rom

 

[dashingdon]

I will try LOS version tonight. Any known bluetooth or Mobile data issues so far ?

Thanks for the effort and appreciate the continued update for Nexus 6.

 

[Scary Guy]

Hi, I appreciate the effort. Mind telling us the differences between ROMs though? Does the CR one have more features than the stock based Lin one? Still going to test them both but was just wondering, thanks.

mobile data is ON by default, and even when you're connected with Wifi, it still uses your data. Blew thru my 200meg Free T-mobile trying to finish an install. Also, found that NFC is turned off. Might be a driver issue.
Battery life is OK. Sound is bad on my device. Playing some youtube videos, and the sound goes from very loud, to I can barely hear it, plus the only speaker working, is the top, the bottom one cuts in and out. (at least in youtube)

not a bug report, or any disrespect to the dev. but, its just what I've had happen while using this rom.

Mobile data can be stopped from developer options and untick mobile data always on
steps
1 Open about Phone
2 Go to build number
3 Tap continuous till you got message you are now developer.
4 Tape on Back button
5 You will be seeing Developer options now
6 scroll down till you see mobile data always on toggle it off

Bluetooth issue was found for me when connected to my head unit in my truck. It connects, blurps sound out for half a second and then nothing the songs/videos(videos also go down to like 2 fps while paired) are still playing during but no audio. It's late I just got home will try to capture a log tomorrow. Other than that this rom is butter smooth, thanks for your hard work keeping our old whale swimming. Plz remove if it needs to be I won't be butthurt about it.
