[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] invictive:
I had the same Radio version as you and I just recently upgraded to the most recent version (1.38.00.10).

I noticed a slight increase in battery life as well as RF performance. Nothing drastic, but enough to make it worthwhile. You don't need to bother installing the radio with gps functionality, as the GPS will not work without serious internal modifications.

I installed Super CID, then Hard SPL, then the radio update, and had no problems what so ever. No data or programs were lost.

I'm a noob here, but found the site and users to be very helpful and managed to do all the updates with about 4 or 5 hours of reading beforehand (keep in mind this is my first time doing any updates to my phone).

So I'd say, go for it!

I am contemplating buying the moto 360 in silver with grey leather strap but this cracking issue is scaring my pants off. Obviously most poster in the cracking threads are people with this issue and consequently isn't a natural picture of have widespread the issue actually is hence this poll:
[Moto 360] deadgiveaway:
They should of made it of carbon ...

I think its an issue of the band putting pressure and stressing the plastic ...

This could be for different reason

They actually seem to happen with the leather and metal bands .... Some ppl might put it on too tight , others wear it on the wrist so it gets stressed when they bend there wrist . small wrists is another possibility .

Motorola does seem to be covering alot of them recently ...but then it might just happen again .....

Genetic human makeup dictates there is always a crack on your backside.

Sorry.

Couldn't resist.
[Moto 360] Armazia:
I have the exact same issue with the crack. Didn't have anything when I bought it(When I did I was aware of it), but soon a really small crack came, and by the day the crack grows bigger, its just one tho. Still I am using the original band, haven't changed it since I bought it.

Welcome to AICP for the Jewel!

NOTE: It shouldn't matter which partition table / Hboot you're on for this (and all other current) Jewel ROM(s). Make sure you use the newest TWRP recovery.

Downloads:

AICP-5.1.1

The finished 5.0 build is still available at AICP-5.0

Install Process:

Do a full, clean wipe just for good measure. (Definitely if you're switching from 5.0)

Install the .zip, and boot

Reboot into recovery to install your favorite gapps (I have used both Slim Gapps and Google official with this ROM)

After initial install, you may dirty flash just fine.

Thanks AOKP team!

Want to build?

Due to recent updates, you can actually install AICP sources, do a

Finding this more stable than SlimLP. No random reboots. This is now my daily driver. Feature request - Is it possible to include the utility to uninstall some system apps like Music, Calendar, Browser and such? Appreciate all your works.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I prefer not to build too much into a ROM. Usually, I either subtract features, or I replace them. The reason being is that it's easier for me, but also because it leaves the end user with more options.

I use Root Uninstaller to get rid of system apps that I don't want. As long as you have root access, you can use that or something similar.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
So far this is the best LP ROM I've used. Stable, fast, and has all the settings and customization options I look for most. Thanks for this, this is now my daily for a while, probably until 5.0.3 or 5.1.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Hey guys, I'm back after a couple of months. Mostly I was just busy with work. I made a couple of new builds overnight. Feel free to check them out. I'll test them myself and give you any updates.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] 7357:
Installed this morning. Looking nice. It did take its merry little time booting the first time, but it runs smoothly. Only issue I see is the lock screen says "No Sim Card / Roaming". Great job.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] benahlquist:
No Sim Card / Roaming

I've got this issue too; I did try the fix mentioned here http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=57187279&postcount=3 but to no avail. However, mobile data, voice and text all seem to be working.

I did have to replace the stock SMS app though; the Send button was grayed out. From reading around that sounds like a common issue. I replaced the stock SMS app with Textra (Chomp SMS also worked) and we're up and running.

I did have a couple of questions though and would appreciate anyone's help!

I can't for the life of me find where to set SD Card storage - I want my photos to end up there, at a minimum

I don't see any place to link my contacts with Facebook and Twitter - anyone been able to do this so the contact's photo is their Facebook/Twitter photo? Anyone with a G+ profile's photo does come through though.

I'm REALLY liking this ROM. It's streamlined and runs very light; and the battery use is fantastic. A breath of new life into my phone! Thanks for the hard work!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] goliath714:
The contact sync is an AOSP issue, and has been present since at least JB. I recommend downloading UberSync from the Play Store, it's free and syncs hi-res contact photos with all your Facebook friends. Don't have one for Twitter though because I don't use it. As far as the SD storage goes, I haven't found that option anywhere in any LP rom I've used so far. I use Camera360 and it has the option to change default save location.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] benahlquist:
Fantastic, I'll check those out. Thanks so much for the recommendations!!!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I just did a whole fresh build after a "make clobber". It got rid of the previous build problems I was having...

I only just loaded it, but it feels snappy so far.

Things I noticed:

Roaming indicator on

AOSP Keyboard doesn't necessarily appear (you can install a different one)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Just another bump to AICP. I don't expect anything exciting over previous builds, but it is more up to date. I will get to working on a 5.1 build ASAP.

4-10-Jewel-AICP

EDIT - I did try this thing out and on the AICP side of things it is a nicer, cleaner build. I didn't see FCs like I had been "ignoring" before. And I was even surprised when I saw a lot more options under AICP options.

EDIT 2 - I figured out my mobile data problem. It boiled down to Ting's APN settings, not the ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] headpiece747:
I have been looking for a rom that doesn't have FCs because I have two of these phones I have been using for wifi streaming purposes only so I don't need data. Thanks for reply in the CM12 5.1 rom because I was looking at that one too but I can skip because of FCs. I will download this and hopefully I can have a rom without the problems I have with the current rom I use.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Epic win. I just finished my first Android 5.1 build. I'm giving it a go. More details to come.

Rather than starting up a whole new thread, I thought I would just update this previous one, since there weren't a whole lot of posts in it to begin with.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I have been using this build since it was made a couple of days ago. It is stable, with no known issues as of yet. I'm comfortable using it for my daily driver at this point. Try it yourself, too!

Of the noticeable differences, I really like how now when you press the volume button, you can select a "silent" mode, and set a timer on it. That way, you won't forget to take it off silent later on. You just set it, and move on.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFatty:
I'm thinking of trying this out this weekend, have you encountered any issues yet using it as a daily driver? Any experience using it to Navigate with google maps, while also trying to listen to podcasts? I had issues with that on an earlier 5.0 build (cyanogenmod 12), so curious how this AICP 5.1 tackles such attempts at multitasking.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I haven't had any unexpected issues with this yet. Not even a reboot. As for apps, you really have to try it out ourself, because there isn't any way for me to replicate your usage. I don't use Google Maps. I use Waze, and it didn't give me any trouble. I went on a 4 hour road trip. I did notice that after a good long while with the gps actually showing on screen, it dimmed the display. I wasn't sure if that was a flaw or a feature. After I turned the screen off, it cooled down and then I could get full brightness again.

You should know that there was a minor update from 5.1-r3 to 5.1-r5 recently. I'm building it as I type this. Hopefully in a couple of hours I'll have it posted.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I posted the newest build. Give it a try. I don't expect any issues. Also, I finally signed up with Androidfilehost, so now all my files are there for you to easily browse. Happy flashing.

UPDATE - I just got a couple of random reboots from the newest build. You might want to use the one from a few days ago instead.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Looks like nightly change log for 12.0 is dead as of this morning. Methinks we might be back to living off the good graces of OCZ again. For a while anyway. I don't see any official jewel info up there yet.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I wouldn't get too excited over the new 5.1 just yet. There are a lot of changes going on with the sources now (though not nearly as bad as when 5.0 was released). It will take a little time to get things rolling, and a little longer until we see actual stable builds. Besides, if CM isn't rolling out fresh nightlies yet, you know it's still early in the game.

I really worked on things yesterday, but I didn't get either LiquidSmooth or Slim to finish. I do have hopes that I'll get them eventually, but it may take another couple of weeks.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I made another build from the ground up. I'm hoping it solves the random reboots. Also, FYI, that initial build wasn't as solid as I had thought. I got a random reboot with that one, too. So maybe it's safest to just use the most updated one anyway, and be patient as fixes come out. For now I'm updating to the newest build.

4-19 Build
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] dangle79:
Looks like I got skittish and made a poor assumption about that anyway. Change logs are posting again
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I noticed that, too. Sometimes that happens. For whatever reason I couldn't get AICP gerrit to work yesterday, either. I was pretty sure that it would sort out.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Another nightly churned out. I believe it's the first 5.1.1 build for Jewel. Anyway, I would highly recommend this ROM. From what I've seen, it's the most stable one out there right now. Also, it's feature rich, so you can customize quite a bit to your liking.

I can say that I don't have mobile data, but that might be an APN setting, not a ROM failure. When in doubt, you can flash the one from a couple of days ago. I know it works really well.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFatty:
Nice! You mention using slim or google gapps, any thoughts on pros/cons between those two, and which host/source should we use for downloading the gapps?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Check out Slim Gapps, or Official Gapps for Android 5.1

The Slim gapps are just trimmed down. It won't install many programs on the initial .zip flash. And over time, they should be updated. The official gapps install several programs which you may not actually want to have on your system. But if you want them there, go for it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
If anybody can confirm mobile data working on the recent builds, the rest of us would appreciate it. I think my APN settings are just wrong, but I haven't figured out how to fix them on this ROM yet.

To be safe, until I hear feedback and/or fix this, you can stick to the 4/19 build if you want Android 5.1. It looks like several people have used that one already.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whbisondtr:
I can confirm that lte is working great, but when it's supposed to be on 3G, it shows it as roaming. Mms also didn't work for me
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Thank you for that. I suspected as much. It means that I'm having APN problems with Ting. That roaming indicator isn't accurate, and it has been an issue that I really wish they would put an end to. As for the mms, that's unfortunate. That could also be an APN problem. I suggest installing a different messenger, selecting it as the default one, and trying again. If it's an APN issue, I still haven't found a way to edit those settings on the newest builds.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whbisondtr:
No problem at all. The roaming indicator isn't a huge issue for me, as it only comes on inside stores where I cannot get lte. I'll try a different messaging app then. I really love this rom, and appreciate all the hard work.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
5.1.1 Works

I highly recommend this ROM, especially if you want Android 5.1.1. It is stable, and has lots of options. Make sure you pick up the newest build now. They finally appear to have fixed the APN issues, and if you need, you can go in and edit the options manually.

I did test: Making calls, SMS, Play Store, Mobile Modem, WiFi, and more. No issues so far, and this ROM has a good history behind it.

Moreover, I discovered with other ROMs that if you get stuck not being able to edit your APN settings, but you need to, you can simply change your preferred network type to something else, and go back in to APNs, and it will let you edit. You may need to try this workaround a couple of times, but it has worked on a few ROMs for me so far.

Its running great so far, only issue I found, and it may be my error, is in this app there is no menu button to reply etc.. Why I'm quoting myself lol. MMS works great too. I haven't had a chance to see if the 3G/Roaming is fixed, but not concerned about that.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I didn't see any roaming indicator on mine, so I think it's fixed. Also, what do you mean "in this app"? The XDA app? If so, that's not related to the ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] whbisondtr:
OK cool. I haven't had a chance to really play with it, I work early mornings, but yes in the xda app. I think it's just a lollipop thing. No biggie tho.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I just realized. It does show roaming on 3G. I had been on LTE connection.

This ROM is nice. Only problem I had with it. The music app crashes while connected via bluetooth.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Sorry about that. I don't use bluetooth. Can you tell us if bluetooth works at all? And have you tried other music apps? I can build a different one into the ROM easily enough.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaydude:
Don't be sorry, it's just a bug. I just wanted to report it. In fact, it's the same bug in CM12 nightlies.

New build posted. I put a new music player in there. Let me know if it solves your issues. Otherwise I'll branch out and try a different one. I'm not sure if there are really any other noteworthy changes.

EDIT - I think it must have already used that music player "Eleven" that I was thinking of. So then, no real noteworthy changes over previous...
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFatty:
Bluetooth works great for me, but I'm using a podcasting application Beyondpod and did not test the audio player.

But one question I have is can someone explain, or at least suggest how to search for instructions, on how to get 3G data working? Before I connected to 3G fine under the stock rom. But after flashing this AICP, the default connection to 3G always results in "roaming." So I went under the mobile networks settings and changed the Preferred Network Type to CDMA + LTE/EvDo. So now when I'm lucky enough to connect via LTE I can get data via LTE. But, most of the areas I'm in, LTE is not available, so the phone falls back to 3G and then it's just roaming with no data. This is true whether I use the default setting or the CDMA + LTE/EvDo.

However, I'm still a bit confused by all the many choices under "Preferred network type" for mobile network settings - could it be that another selection would allow 3G data to work all the time, so that I won't be always roaming if LTE is not available?

Or is the solution, if available, under Mobile network settings - Access Point Names?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
Don't trust the roaming indicator. It isn't accurate. There is a bug they haven't squashed yet where it says you're roaming, even if you aren't. The proper setting for you is CDMA + LTE/EvDo. But if you know that LTE is sparse, you want to select CDMA/Evdo Auto. But if you can't get data to work at all, then it's an APN setting, which you just have to go in and select the right one. Delete any APNs that you know you won't use, and then double-check the APNs for your carrier. Normally you shouldn't have to edit these at all, but sometimes you have to manually select which carrier you're on. Other times, you have to actually fiddle with the individual settings in each (I have to do this for Ting now).
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JohnCorleone:
I have a question for anyone out there who can help me. I am using TWRP 2.8.5.0 (the Captain Throwback one I believe) and I can't get a backup to restore properly. It goes through the restore process and says "success" but it sticks at the splash screen so obviously something system related isn't backing up or restoring properly. Does anyone have a link to a TWRP that is guaranteed working on these 5.0 and newer builds?

Sent from my EVO using Xparent Gray Tapatalk 2
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] swaydude:
Try TWRP 2.8.6.0. http://xdaforums.com/evo-4g-lte-sprint/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3068193

That works for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFatty:
I've tried dirty flashing the 2015-4-30 version over an earlier version and get a failure. I think this is because I've already encrypted the phone. So when I enter TWRP, I need to enter my PIN to proceed. TWRP accepts the PIN and I can proceed. Then I try to install the ROM and fails.

I guess my question is whether this is unique to AICP, or if every ROM is like this where you can't dirty flash whenever you encrypt your phone?

Another issue I noticed is that after I encrypted the phone, this affected regular booting of the phone, because I'll see the "AICP is upgrading..." message everytime I boot, but prior to entering the PIN to decrypt the phone. But before I encrypted the phone, I would not get the upgrading message (unless I happened to delete the cache/dalvik).

So something about having the phone encrypted is 1) messing with the ability to dirty flash, and 2) triggering some kind of "upgrading" process every time you boot the encrypted phone, prior to entering the decrypt PIN.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] KingFatty:
Just wanted to report more feedback regarding bluetooth: unlike my podcasting audio app that works great over bluetooth, I've found that the Google play music app will refuse to play over bluetooth, even though it plays fine through the phone's speaker. Google music gives some error like "Device failed to play" or something. Again, this only happens when I connect to bluetooth.

I even started playing my music (using google music app) on the phone, then got into my car and turned on the car. After my phone connected to bluetooth, the music stopped playing. When I pressed play on the phone, then I got the error message. I've duplicated this same behavior using a mini bluetooth speaker that I use in the house. Also, I duplicated this error on both the 4/28 build and the 4/30 build.

So maybe it has something to do with music specifically, like maybe that somehow invokes the audio FX or something? Because I am baffled at how my podcasting app (Beyondpod) works great over bluetooth speakers, unlike the Google music (that works fine on the phone, but fails once connected to a bluetooth speaker).

============EDIT=============

I'm thinking this may have been due to an issue with the particular GAPPs that I was using (which installed the google play music app), so it may have nothing to do with the ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
I just got off a fresh build, and I even contributed a few lines of code to this one! You can now check the second post to see how to (very easily) build this for yourself.

The 5/6 build stops after all the apps are install and says "Starting apps". I left it there for 30 minutes before I hard reboot it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ocarinaz64:
That's odd. Did you make sure to wipe cache/dalvik? Or, if you're S-on, did you remember to flash the new kernel? Otherwise, you can try a clean install. I'm using the 5/6 build myself right now. I use AICP as my daily driver.
