Okay so after a ton of tinkering around (too many steps to even list) i figured out that the app that causes this issue isn't the setup wizard that comes with the gapps package but the one that appears on the phone after flashing the rom (cmsetupwizard.apk) I couldnt find this before i flashed the rom and i managed to somehow navigate to the playstore before finishing the setup wizard and downloaded es file explorer and deleted the cmsetupwizard and that let me get passed the wizard but never let the phone recognize that it was done with set up so a ton of features were broken and going the upgrade route (through cmupdater) i believe causes issues with network stuff. I noticed that when i updated instead of a clean flash it would no longer automatically pick up signal anymore...just some things that I've noticed
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
So I was freeing up internal storage space and I noticed under the storage section for misc., there was 50O mb's. Can I delete this without any problems or does this contain app data. I'm not sure if it's downloads or not. I looked at it and it was mostly in folder 0 of misc but I can not open it up to see more in the storage section.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Mixmaster Prime:
A couple of questions, first do you flash cm12.1 over cm12 or separately. And does anyone else have a problem when flashing ROMs with twrp because I used to use cwm so idk if I should start using cwm again
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] monsieur_beau19:
I tried to flash over cm12 but I got caught in a boot loop. You'll have to wipe and then flash. I too, used TWRP.

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:06 PM ----------

Yes. You shouldn't have any problems with the data in apps unless you clear all cache.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Mixmaster Prime:
What twrp version are you using
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Okay, thanks.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] monsieur_beau19:
I'm using version 2.8(?) I'll have to check

Edit: Can confirm I'm using version 2.8.4.0
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Mixmaster Prime:
Ok I just need to know cause I've been using 2.8.5.0 (newest one) and idk if that's the problem
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] monsieur_beau19:
Perhaps yes. I'd wait for our specific version (710C) to update. You can go back to 2.8.4.0 and flash CM 12.1
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Mixmaster Prime:
Can someone talk to me on hangouts to help with a problem ive been having when flashing ROMs? If so send me a pm
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Mixmaster Prime:
Has anyone noticed how it says meh in storage

On 3/27 CM12.1 build, seems great. No bugs that weren't present in CM12, and the default SMS app now works on single SIM.

Wait... What!? Where is this CM12.1 build you speak of?

Nevermind... Found it! Thanks!

Same, after 5 mins, hard reset

full wipe/Factory reset-> clean flash of just 12.1 ROM.

Same, after 5 mins, hard reset

CWM 6.0.5.1 based, from grarak

Anyone have a known issue/workaround ?

..or can i supply any log files from anything useful ?

thx guys
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
No problems with my flash. Only thing is message app is goofy. Flashed it lastnite booted just fine.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Do clean flash, make sure you wipe everything (/system, /boot, /data, /cache and dalvik cache) only because sometimes people forget to wipe and it causes issues. Also after clean flash, with no gapps, let it sit for 15 mins.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
Sounds like a cake. :) will do, and will let you know (tomorrow).

Does it take a **long** time to reach step after boot anim?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] macieksoft:
CM12.1 makes the menu buttons distorted on the bottom and does not allow me to send or revive txts with the default messenger. I preformed a full wipe.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] monsieur_beau19:
That was my gripe, and since it is unofficial, we won't see an update until Developer transitions from Cm 12 to Cm 12.1
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
If you're talking about the nav buttons on the bottom they looked fine on the 3-27 build (I think that's what it was called)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
Is it nessasary to flash the APN fix or not.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] macieksoft:
On CM12 and 12.1 I needed to change the APN settings for VM. I used a app called Change APN and these settings: (Thanks to d8sychain)

APN fix seems to break 3G data. I got LTE working without flashing APN fix and 3G works! Install "Change APN" from the play store (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.appando.app.changeApn) Add a new APN, here are the settings:

OK thanks.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] cheehsiang:

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
APN fix doesn't break 3g? It just sets it to "digital roaming" which is just a visual thing. And your APN ^ seems to do the same for me.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
I really don't see many things wrong with this ROM

This is really smooth and fast,no complaints here. All the years messing with android,and cm not bad. Sorry there won't be an update to stock 5.1. Thanks Grarak.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
This is probably a really obvious question but is anybody else getting a super laggy camera on the latest nightly? I just switched over to cm after about a month so I don't know if this is an existing problem.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] oddtiki:
Does BoomSound work on this ROM or it's not integrated?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
No unfortunately this ROM doesn't include BoomSound.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Does the latest update for this rom update the version of CM? Also, I read an article that said lollipop 5.1.0 has come to this phone via unofficial CM. I haven't updated in about a week but I have not seen this here anyway. Maybe it's made by someone else???
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
There are unofficial builds with 5.1 for this device made done by grarak. Go back a few pages or so and you'll see he posted one and a few more have come out since then.

Oh okay, thanks
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] uushh2u:
I flashed the 12.1 build onto my 816x single sim Asia. So far every cm build I flash on here gives me touchscreen issues. I would like to verify I'm flashing right,

Cwm 6.0.5.1. wipe data/factory reset

Wipe cache partition

format /system /boot / data /cache wipe dalvik cache

Flash cm12.1. reboot system.... yes to fix root. go through setup.

After set up I get random touchscreen issues. Such as hard to swipe, have to touch more than once on icons to open items. Texting is hectic.

Ive tried wiping same items before, rebooting back into recovery then flashing cm 12 (and 12.1) same issue arrives.

Any ideas?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
Did same. Never got past boot animation. Would love to help though ;)

someone will answer, they always do ..
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] monsieur_beau19:
Try using twrp version 2.8.4.0
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] dennygreen:
Did anyone else start having problems with LTE after flashing 12.1? I was getting the exclamation where the lte symbol should be at the top, with no data connection.

Went back to my cm12 backup and its still doing it, but eventually lte comes back after a couple minutes. I dunno if it's a coincidence or what. I've never seen this happen before.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Yes I'm having the same issue :/
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Azphreal:
I've tried three nightlies (27/3, 29/3, 30/3) and the setup wizard crashes on all of them. Anyone know how to fix it, or when the last nightly when the setup wizard worked? I was previously using 15/3, which installed fine, but had a calendar bug on it for me that I'm trying to fix by updating.

EDIT: Finally found the Cyanogenmod GApps, flashed those on the 27/3, and it works.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
I haven't flashed 12.1 but it seems like different roms affect the data connection. When I flashed a few of the other roms they asked me to activate my phone but I just ignored it and I didn't have to reactivate it. I just installed the pac-man rom and it has the same LTE issue that came with CM probably since they are similar. I flash the VMU fix zip and it seems to fix the problem. I also have the app that allows me to select which APN I am using which also helps.

Does anyone know why applying a picture for your profile doesn't seem to work. Every time I try, nothing shows up and than recently my old Google picture somehow became my profile picture on CM12 official rom.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Faiyaz5yaz:
sorry for noob question , coudnt manage to read 830+ posts..

1. is this a unified ROM for 816 ? will it support on 816g dual sim version

2. what are current cm bugs and ROM specific bugs ?

3 recommended recovery ?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] uushh2u:
OK, so I have flashed 12.1 using both twrp 2.8.4.0 and cwm 6.0.5.1 full wipe and still keep getting touchscreen issues after setup. I can reboot and it'll be OK for about 5 mins then it goes back to being temperamental . in the dev tools the pointer location shows a swipe looking as if I'm lifting my finger multiple times through out the swipe.

Single sim 816x Asia version. Any ideas for fixing this?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
Me too, switched to twrp 2.8.4.0.

Same lack of boot. Done all the wipes I can
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Here is a new cm 12.1 build

https://basketbuild.com/filedl/devs?dev=Grarak&dl=Grarak/cm-12.1-20150331-UNOFFICIAL-a5.zip

Works with dual sim
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Was the install wizard fixed in this one? I tried installing it today (the previous version) and right around the time I get to hitting next on the cyanogenmod login portion, it says the wizard crashed and goes back to the first step of setting up.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Did you try the last one that was posted on here? or in graraks basketbuild? I tried the 3-27 build and got past the wizard just fine. however the wizard was broken in the 3-24 build.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Yeah, I believe it was the 3/24 build. I did not know there was a newer one besides the one that was just released. Has the large back button been fixed? For some reason it was 2x bigger than normal and pixilated. I'll probably download the latest rom tomorrow and try it.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Yeah, it just didn't get posted on here. The nav buttons did get fixed and the wizard was fixed in the 3-27 build so i'd imagine it'd be fine in this new build :)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Okay, sounds good. I'll download it tomorrow when I have time. Is there a specific page in this forum for the unofficial 12.1 build?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Nah, Grarak will post them when he finishes some. I just clicked on the link for the download and went to his developer page and scrolled through his builds and the 3-27 build was in there. https://basketbuild.com/devs/Grarak
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Oh okay. Yeah, when I clicked on the link I just saw the download and a video ? for the Pacman Rom. I should have looked for that. Thanks for the help.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
Just click on his name Grarak. Takes you to all downloads.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Okay, thanks
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] uushh2u:
For the setup wizard issues, work around for me was to not flash the gapps. Do just 12.1 go through wizard, finish reboot back into recovery then flash gapps.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
That issue has been fixed in the last two builds, at least for single sim

So far this 3-31 build has been very stable for me. The only issues I've run into was the default messenger force closes "messaging has stopped unexpectedly" anytime you receive an SMS. But you can use other messaging apps just fine (except googles messenger application, hangouts works fine) other than that I haven't ran into any issues
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] parcolan:
Can somebody explain why with the today's update it writes powered by Microsoft and the icon of windows mobile is at the left up corner?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] dennygreen:
Well, after the lte problems I started having with 12.1/12, I went back to my carbon backup and it's all working normally.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] sirrx7:
Microsoft apparently had behind the scenes dealings with Cyanogen Inc. CM will be including Microsoft apps in future builds.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Microsoft invested like $100,000,000 dollars into CM.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:

[Desire 816 Original Android Development] aftertzf:
Dirty flash over 12.0 boot OK but android.phone kept crashing and I had no cellular service.

Clean flash of ROM and gapps minimal: all good so far. Setup wizard OK, and restore pushed all my apps etc.

New thing: I can now move any app to sdcard: 1.3 GB free instead of 450mb before :)

Thanks Grarak and everyone.

I do see Windows Live in the accounts section, but it doesn't work (typical MS :) )
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] uushh2u:
So far the touchscreen issue I have still remains. Newest build didn't resolve this. I flashed onto my 816x single sim Asia. So far every cm build I flash on here gives me touchscreen issues.

After set up I get random touchscreen issues. Such as hard to swipe, have to touch more than once on icons to open items. Texting is hectic.

I have used twrp 2.8.4.0 and cwm 4.0.5.1
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Installed the latest build of CM 12.1 today and everything looks good. It is responsive, and I've only found 1 error so far; if I click on the Profile in user settings it flashes and says it does not exist. Also, LTE is working fine for me and I have no problems with it. I flashed the VMU APN fix before I even launched the rom for the first time. And, I don't know if this was a past problem but it would appear I am able to put most of my apps onto my SD card; whereas, before I could only put so many. Keep up the good work. Hopefully it becomes official in the future.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
You have to create your profile or user. I had to do the samething.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Yeah, I tried that and it still happened. At least, I was able to select the default profile to switch back but still can't edit the profile.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
K ,goto contacts and see if it will let you create a profile there.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Yeah, I can create a profile but I cannot name it nor can I set a profile picture. It gets saved as "new user."
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
Go into settings users and tap on first profile to edit. Scroll down to edit picture and stuff.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
The pen? I see no pen. No option let's me edit.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
Tap on the first profile and you will see the pen. Edit.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
When, I tap on the profile, all that happens is a toast.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
This is mine,it works. When I try to edit,don't know why yours is that way.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Huh, that's odd. That looks like a contact card. What carrier do you have?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] ajones23:
No, its a pic from gallery,I have VM. With Euphoria theme from play store. I'm sorry you can't get it to change. Whatever you need I will help out.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Thanks for the help. Yeah, I am not sure why it is like that. Hopefully it will be resolved in the future.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kanchanray:
Are you able to move from the usual Settings -> App or is there a different process for it? Also, did you try moving Facebook/WhatsApp?

I can confirm that 12.1 build 3/31 works well in the Indian dual SIM also with SIM1 ;) I got 3G + SMS working. The only trick is - after a full wipe - flash the Cm only (do not flash gapps) - the mobile settings will crash first time. Next time change the data to 3G and reboot - now mobile settings will also work. Then flash gapps... for me that worked like a charm :)

The only thing still does not work for me is calls on speakerphone (other side can't hear me if the phone is even 1 ft away).
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LIONS1:
Is it working with tow SIMS and what's about calling with second sim?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
I have the Virgin Mobile version of the phone which I believe is single sim. On the official CM, I was able to put apps onto my SD card but it seemed like not that many apps would move onto it for some reason. This time, I changed my install preference to the SD card before restoring my app backup with Titanium and most of my apps are now on my SD card. There are certain apps though that are required to be on the internal memory in order to fully work like, Lucky ? Patcher, Clean Master, and system apps etc.

---------- Post added at 01:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:02 PM ----------

Are you using another sms app? The default messaging app's send button is grey and doesn't work for me. It's been like this on all of the CM rom I think or at least for me. It's been like this for a while that's why I usually use Google messenger or Hangouts.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kanchanray:
No - I use the default messaging app.. It works fine (both incoming + outgoing)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Huh, did it always work for you or did ya doing something to make it work?

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:59 PM ----------

Oh wait! It's working for me now. Just tried it. The last time I tried was in the first version if this rom. Well that's good.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Mixmaster Prime:
[MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] do you think you can make a sense 7 lollipop rom for the desire 816 since it wont get updated to lollipop from virgin mobile. That would be awesome if you could.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
So I discovered something magical today. I guess this has always been there before but I never knew the camera zooms in and out on its own, and rotates the orientation of the screen on its own. It was, interesting lol. Other than that, I just found out xposed framework will work on Lollipop ? now which is good.

---------- Post added at 11:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

Well, just discovered that since Android 5.1 is new, Xposed does not work. IT only works with SDK version 21 and lollipop 5.1 is SDK 22. Oh well. I think it would work with the official Cyanogenmod though.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] dennygreen:
Well, I went back to cm12, April 3rd nightly, and it still goes right to no data/exclamation in the status bar when I boot up. If I turn preferred network to 3g, it will go to 3g and then if I switch it back to lte, lte comes on and stays on until I reboot.

I dunno what happened. I'm using the VM APN fix like I always have, and it's always worked flawlessly.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Android 5.1 broke data even worse than 5.0 I think.

Either that or the APN fix (technically made for KitKat) doesn't support 5.1.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] dennygreen:
Yeah thats probably true. I don't get why it won't work when I go back to 5.0. I wonder if I'm not wiping something right. I never could get vibration working and I think someone said that was probably because of bad wiping.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Well are you on TWRP or CWM?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kanchanray:
I wipe + format /cache /data /system /boot /sdcard/media - I was able to go back and forth from 5.0 to 5.1.

One question I also have is - is it safe to format /firmware/radio ??
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] dennygreen:
I've been using twrp 2.8.5

I wipe system, dalvik, cache, Data, Internal storage. I think that's it. I think that's everything except SD card.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
If I'm not mistaken, kitkat did not support APN changing.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
You are mistaken :p

---------- Post added at 03:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------

Use CWM and also wipe /boot. TWRP can't wipe /boot and it can cause issues.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Oh okay, haha.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] uushh2u:
Has anyone else had a touchscreen issue on CM 12 and 12.1 on single SIM 816x? I keep havingthe touchscreen go bananas after the setup. Have to select things multiple times before it reacts. Drag and drop is hectic. Sometimes double and triple clicks things, pointer location shows a solid touch reading as zig zag motions. Is there a fix for this?

I flashed using both twrp and cwm. Full wipe, advanced full wipe (format system, boot, data, dalvik, cache) this happens with other Roms too. Wondering if this Asia single SIM x version is the issue. Works great on stock Rom unfortunately
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] dennygreen:
I tried cmw, wiped /boot and reflashed 12.1. still couldn't get lte working at all.

I'm back on 12, I can live with it this way for now. It only stops working when I reboot, and its easy enough to mess with the settings to get it working again. eventually it will get fixed im sure. Vibrate still doesn't work either.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] monsieur_beau19:
Is it possible to update to the unofficial 12.1 without losing data from cm 12? Last time I wiped before flashing it.
