If you check the changelog (click the date on the update) you will see that there was part 1/3 implementation of "CmHardwareService" which is also added into the settings app... most likely this is the culprit. Give it some time for the next nightly or two to fully implement/fix it and I'm sure it will get ironed out.

I didn't take this update yet, as I will usually wait for 2 or 3 nightlies before flashing the newest one.

You could always restore back to the previous nightly you still have saved on the phone if its an issue for you.

Edit: just for reference I am on 3-7 nightly and have no issues whatsoever with anything so far.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Enectic:
Gotcha, thanks! It's no biggie and not something I'm really worried about.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Should be fixed in the next nightly
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kanchanray:
Thanks for the info. It is not a big deal as such.

To ask a flashoholic to wait 2-3 days before flashing a nightly is like asking a kid to wait 3 days before opening his birthday gifts :) just kidding....
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kanchanray:
The settings FC is fixed in the 03-09 nightly.

Camera

Is there any good replacement for camera app ? ?

because google camera and cm camera does not perform very well on 13mp lens & it is bit laggy when camera moves

which app do you prefer for camera on cm12
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kanchanray:
I'd say it depends on what you mean by "

".. I have been using it daily - have no major issues. voice/3G/GPS all work good :)

Mobile data problem

Hey guys, I just recently flashed cm12 today for the first time on my virgin mobile 816 and I am having mobile data problems. I tried the search and I've come to the conclusion it's my APN but I have no idea how to change it. Can anybody help me? Thanks.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] kanchanray:
Mine is the indian variant - but, seems like Qualcomm Snapdragon (MSM8226 - 400).
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] the_Victorian:
Try flashing the VM APN fix
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] LiquidPlacidity:
Download 'Change APN' from the market. It will give you access to the APN settings even though they don't exist yet on Lollipop.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] oakleyguy89:
Thanks for the responses guys. I ended up flashing the universal lte APN for VM. Even though it was for 4.4 it worked fine.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Storage

I've noticed there seems to be less storage space on this rom per say. I've tried moving apps to the SD card but it does not work to well; only some apps move. On the default stock rom, I on average had around 2gb's of free space for internal memory and now I only have around 600mb's. I've had about the same number of apps so i am not quite sure what it could be.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] dcdarbar:
Android lollipop 5.1

[MENTION=2879148]garak[/MENTION], can Android lollipop 5.1 will make some convenience for dual sim variant?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] monsieur_beau19:
I've seen a video on 5.1 that says Google officially now supports dual sim. But again, it depends on the developer's wish to include that in the 5.1 update.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Grarak:
Probably not

Google refered that to the SDK update. There are no code changes related to the functionality of MSIM.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] insanelycool:
You might want to check your internal SD card... Willing to bet you probably have some extra files stored there... like nightlies stored in the cmupdater folder.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Yeah, I did. I've deleted the stored nightlies. Even though I did that and moved all apps possible to the SD card, I still only have about 850mb's. When looking at the folders on the phone, it seems like there are a lot of unnecessary folders, even to the extent they look duplicated. For example, they'll be a folder in the internal storage called 0. I click on it and I see several folders that already existed in the previous folder; such as, download, downloads, DCIM and 0. I open the next 0 folder and it's essentially the same. This same pattern also goes for "folder 10" too. As you can see it the pictures, the 0 folder is worth 500 mb's.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Sorry lol. Looks like the pictures got duplicated. There should only be 4 pictures.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] :
Regarding storage, you will get only 4gb of space ,even 8gb physical memory is availabe for this device. This is because cm12 reads the partion in that way. If you want 8gb,then you have to use stock rom.

Regarding duplicate folders, the are not duplicate folders.They are symlinks.They link to the same path.This is feature for multiuser available from jellybean.Hit thanks if it was helpful.

You can use XInstaller module to move ALL aps to SD
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Oh okay, that makes sense. When, stock lollipop becomes available for this device, will it have 8gb's available? I have the Virgin Mobile version of this phone, which I believe is 710c.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
The Virgin Mobile version is the a5chl :p

And no it will have just about the same amount of space as stock KitKat.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Oh, haha okay. If it has about the same amount of space as stock kitkat than that would be around 7gb's; or at least I had something like that on kitkat. I haven't been on the stock rom in months. When I plug my phone into the computer, it says it is 710c; both storage and the HTC app say that. Idk lol
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Yah I believe 710c is just the model number supplied by Virgin Mobile.

To HTC, and well, all of XDA, its the a5_chl.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Okay, now I know haha
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] insanelycool:
[MENTION=6311945]Scutellaro[/MENTION]

Don't get too confused by the advertised internal space. It is advertised as 8GB but you will never have that much because the system and other partitions will reserve about half of that (whether its actually used or not). For example, if you get an app that reads each partition (like Link2SD), you will see that in CM12 the system takes up only 749MB, leaving 1.48GB of the system partition unused.

To put it simply: The 8GB of internal memory is broken into partitions, ie. Cache, System, and a shared partition of /data folder (apps) and internal SDcard. The shared partition means that adding more data (apps) to internal will take space away from the internal SDcard and vice versa.

So the 8GBs of space is actually partitioned into:

/boot

/cache

/data

/misc

/recovery

/system

There are many reasons you might have used up the ~4GBs of SHARED internal space available, most of that will be the apps you've installed (/data) and the media you are storing (internal sdcard). If you use google play music, the default cache is on internal, but you can change it to external sdcard in the settings on the app.

For reference...I don't have any games installed, and I have 2.22GB of apps, and 1.56GB free (with 2 nightlies stored). I also have 1.48GB free on the system partition.

Edit: Also double check you store your nandroid backups on the external SD card, as these will take up a significant amount of space as well.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Yeah. I knew it's never the same as what's commercialized. I keep my backups on my SD card which works well since I have much more free space. Does, multiple user profiles take up space even if there is nothing installed by that profile?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] YmerejO42:
Any updates on this? Would love to get my GPS working, since CM doesn't seem to care about it. They don't even have it listed as a known issue on their wiki...
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] insanelycool:
Yeah, Just follow my instructions in the post you quoted... works perfectly fine even after updating to new nightlies.

Make a backup of your configured CM12 first. Then you will have to flash back to stock to fix the GPS and then restore the backup of CM12 to get right back to CM12 with fixed GPS.

If you are on virgin mobile You can check my post here for a OOTB stock flashable zip, but it's for Virgin Mobile USA version. Make sure you use the second zip, (the one that doesn't flash stock recovery), if you are planning to just fix gps and flash back to CM12.

That same post I linked also has instructions for the GPS fix as well.

Yes, user profiles do take up extra space, but it doesn't account for much if you haven't configured anything... I quickly added a user just to test and it took up about 0.2GB of space.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] YmerejO42:
OK, I'll try that, see if it works. I don't normally use those apps, I use GPS Status & Toolbox, but I really don't want to flash my phone 4 times, so I'll use the ones you suggested, this time. lol
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Azphreal:
I don't know when it started (I think when I clean flashed 0313 version) but I can't sync my Google calendar with any app. The option to sync the calendar doesn't appear in the accounts settings. Anyone know why?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] :
You must have deleted calendars storage app i.e the com.android.providers.calendar
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] monsieur_beau19:
Will there be a Milestone or Snapshot coming soon?

Anyone know when there might be a possible snapshot coming?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] FoxyDrew:
Never. CM12 development has already been abandoned for CM12.1 development (abandoned by the CM team, not Grarak) so don't expect any snapshots.

Maybe in CM12.1.

Can't get good data connection

I'm running 20150315 nightly on an a5_chl on Virgin Mobile.. When I first booted, the carrier showed as Sprint and I wasn't getting LTE. I flashed the universal Virgin Mobile APN fix and the carrier now shows as VM. Calls and texts work fine. However, I can't get a good data connection. At my office on the stock ROM, I used to get LTE, now I get no connection at all and the ! icon shows. At home on the stock ROM, I used to get 3G, now I get the roaming R icon. Oddly, when the R shows, I can still get data even though the "don't use data while roaming" switch is set. Pretty much everywhere I go, I get R or ! and I'm purely on Wi-Fi at this point. I also saw basically the same behavior with PacROM KitKat. Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? Thanks.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
If you flashed the CM rom you wouldn't see spring or Virgin Mobile pop up; it would just say Cyanogenmod. Are you sure you flashed the right rom, and did you wipe cache, dalvik cache, and reset to factory before flashing the rom?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Yoglets:
It seems you think I'm referring to the boot animation? When I say "the carrier showed as Sprint," I mean the carrier identifier under the signal strength logo on the quick settings pull-down. Everything was fully wiped before flashing. I've re-wiped and re-flashed probably 5 or 6 times now, with various nightlies. Note I had the same issue with PacROM. I suspect the APN settings are still incorrect. If I restore to stock, my data connection works fine.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Oh okay, I see what you mean. Yes, Virgin Mobile is a company that Virgin create with sprint, just like Boost mobile. They share the same network. You still have Virgin Mobile. If you flash the APN to fix LTE, it will fix 4g and will say Virgin Mobile but it you don't you'll still have 3g. I flashed it and it fixed it for me. The link for it is somewhere in this feed or someone on here could give you the link for it, or you can Google it. No matter what you do, your phone will still say no sim card.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Yoglets:
I have already flashed the APN fix, as noted in my original post. The carrier changed from Sprint to VM as expected, but I am still not getting data. The file I used is named Universal_vmu_ApnFix-v.R2.zip, has a size of 177530, and an MD5 checksum of 162fce4773d279fe37d078f09373ae37. Is this the same file you used?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Hmm, yes that look like the same one I used and it fixed my Lte.

You could also try using am app to select the APN you want to use to make sure. And, possibly flashing the APN a couple times could work too.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Whoops, there should only be 2 pictures. Don't know why it duplicates them but yeah, the app is called change APN. Look for it on the Google market. If that doesn't work, try clearing your cache and flashing it. It if you want, I could send you the APN fix I have via email; although, I think you have the same one as me.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Well, if that doesn't help you out, I made a link for the one I use and it works for me; even though I think it's the same one you use bit you can still try it if you want. Let me know if it helps you.

https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B81atrMUV9gFSDZldTBCczNhVTQ/edit?usp=docslist_api
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Yoglets:
Already had the APN Change app installed -- it shows same thing as your screenshot. And your file is the same, MD5 hash matches. Thanks for the help. I guess I'll try flashing it again. (Again.) :)
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Scutellaro:
Yep, no problem. Good luck ?
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
The R is just a cosmetic thing, its still 3g, as for the LTE issues I'm not 100% about that. I still have full LTE where I got it on stock and it seems you followed steps correctly
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] Yoglets:
After a couple more days experimenting, here's what I've discovered:

Stock gives me 3G at home and LTE at work. I normally only get the ! no data icon when I'm out in the boonies. I don't think I've ever seen the R icon on stock.

On CM12, if I re-flash the APN fix again, I'll get LTE at work. It will perform fine until I physically leave the area.

If I drive home, streaming along the way, at some point I'll lose data. By the time I get home, I'll have the R icon and no data connection at all. Calls and texts will still work.

If I run the APN selector app, the 1st APN will show as selected. Changing it will have no effect.

If I re-flash the APN fix, I'll still have the R icon but I'll get a good data connection.

If I drive back to work, I'll get the ! icon and no data connection at all.

If I run the APN selector app, neither APN will show as selected. If I select the 1st one, I'll get LTE again.

Or, if I re-flash the APN fix, I'll get LTE again.

If I drive back home (or anywhere else I don't normally get LTE) I'll lose data.

Basically, I have to re-flash the APN fix every time I go somewhere. Annoying as heck. I'm back on stock now. I thought I'd try exporting APNs from stock and importing them to CM12 but the APN Exporter app can't export from stock. And when I view system/etc/apns-conf.xml on stock, it's filled with only T-Mobile APNs, so I'm not sure where the heck the Virgin Mobile APNs are kept.
[Desire 816 Original Android Development] tsmith1223:
Just as a tip for if you ever flash this back, i've discovered that it has a hard time picking signal back up, so if you throw your phone in airplane mode for a second and then turn airplane mode off, it should reconnect. That's what I personally have been doing the help this.

Okay so some things that i've noticed with the sim card..(at least in my case)

1. If you connect to WIFI as soon as you boot up then your phone will hold a signal (no data though)

2. If you connect to data, thats when the signal completely drops and it says there is no sim card

3. When I went into settings and looks at my phones status my IMEI was incorrect (found no way of manually changing it yet)

I'd provide a logcat but I keep getting denied access so it won't let me
