Bugs:

Please do not report bugs if it is already listen in the list of known issues

Sometimes audio disappears and when this happens you'll experience lags everywhere (especially on video playback) and audio_mix wakelocks that will cause huge battery drain. (Check FAQ for workaround)

Manual network operator search (xmm6360 baseband seems to handle it differently than xmm626x)

Unstable calls audio quality using A2DP Bluetooth Protocol (first call has perfect audio, next ones no)

Sometimes video rendering using software codecs produces videos with inverted colors

Incompatibilities with any Chinese modem/baseband (if you use them you'll have horrible call quality)

FAQs :

Where are "Performance" and "Developer Options" categories?

To activate 'Performance' and 'Developer Options' categories in Settings you need to tap 7 times on 'Build number' located into Settings -> About Phone.

How can i apply themes?

Download the apk files for theme, install them and than apply through theme manager (link to themes :P).

How can i solve problems with Hebrew language?

Go to "Developer Options" in Settings and check "Force RTL layout direction".

What can i do to reduce the "echo effect" while in-call?

Try to reduce in-call earpiece volume (if possible).

I'm having problems with battery life, what can i do?

1) Use "Greenify" to hibernate all apps with a "little cloud + 'Gcm' word inside" on the right of each app name.

2) Disable "Location" or set it to mode "Battery Saving" (Settings -> Location)

3) Make sure that your 2G/3G provider signal level isn't always low

4) Deny "Wake Up" and "Keep Awake" permissions to Google and third-party apps. (Settings -> Privacy Guard -> Press menu button and check "Show built-in apps" -> Press menu button again and go to Advanced -> Horizontal Scroll to Device)

5) Disable "Sync" or sync only useful stuff like Contacts

6) Disable "Auto-rotate screen" (Settings -> Display & lights -> Rotation)

7) Try another Modem/Baseband (excluding chinese ones).

If this isn't enough then replace your battery and/or reduce your phone usage. :silly:

Why is my phone over-heating while playing heavy-games or running heavy-apps?

Use a bit your brain to explain why. High CPU and GPU usage = high heat production. Your phone will automatically throttle CPU when needed so don't worry, it is safe and normal.

Can I use another kernel instead of the one included in the zip?

No. Only use the included kernel for 100% compatibility, bug reports with non-standard kernel will be ignored.

Is this ROM OTA supported

Not yet, but we will get it when the feature is available for liquidsmooth.

Video Playback started to lag and there's no sound, what can i do?

1) Make a call (also to an not existent number, you just need to hear something from the earpiece)

2) Reboot your phone

*** IR Remote app isn't working anymore/was working on previous builds/causes my phone to crash, what can i do?

Contact *** IR Remote app developer.
