which gapps? there's arm, arm64, x86. you have to use arm, and for Android 6.0, anything else will crash.

and what kind of crash? bootloop? or "sorry, Google play services has sucked"? or something similar?
[Desire 816 Android Development] shamnath29:
The google play services has bla bla bla......i resolved it anyways......flashed both the rom and the gapps together

U know any other way to resolve it ? Might be helpful for others :)
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
think flashing gapps after first boot might not work. permissions maybe?

you can use microg floss play services and blank store for basic gapps, it's a pain to install though. doesn't have contacts or calendar sync, and requires signature spoofing xposed module (i also like the 'this app doesn't need play services' module)

it doesn't support everything Google, but isn't a memory sucker or resource hog or battery drainer like real closed source gapps.

I've been exclusively using microg for weeks and it's been working great with location services and blank store. a few location apps are missing some annoying Google bits and won't run, but everything i use works well.

Exclamation point while open data but connected.

Can I ask how to remove this exclamation point thing on my signal bar? I opened my data connection and I can browse and surf but I notice that exclamation point on my signal bar? Thanks in advance.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
hm. mine usually only does that when it's initially connecting. but it still works, eh? interesting.

thanks for the report. does it clear up if you toggle airplane mode on and off, or wifi?
[Desire 816 Android Development] maitee0808:
I've done everything I think can resolve the problem including the steps you tell. I also reflashed the rom many times but exclamation still exists.
[Desire 816 Android Development] ajones23:
Try flashing the APN fix,and reboot. Did you toggle airplane on/off,that should've worked.
[Desire 816 Android Development] maitee0808:
Tried but problem still exists.

It doesn't work. I just noticed that on first boot (setup) where mobile data is automatically turned on, the exclamation point doesn't exist. But when I turn off then turn on again the mobile data, the problem occurs. And 1 thing I noticed is that it's hard to connect my phone to a pc. I don't know why.
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
Just wondering if anyone can explain or has run across this problem....

Last week I got a 128gb micro SD card. I finally got it working after completely formating it, wiping everything on my phone, and flashing a totally clean install of this ROM. I have it formatted as Internal Storage.

The weird part is that it works but it seems to randomly become read-only or something like that. I don't get any error messages except for the occasional "abc-app has stopped" for apps that have been moved to the SD card.

When this event happens strange things like, for example, all pictures and peoples avatars in the Twitter app become blank. Twitter isn't even one of the apps that I have on the SD card. Also, I can no longer open apps that have been moved to the SD card.

When I check the SD card in Settings > Storage & USB, it shows it as mounted and I can view everything on the SD card but I can't delete or manipulate anything.

Now the weird part. If I manually unmount and remount the SD card it works fine and I can now delete and/or manipulate files that I couldn't before the manual unmount/remount process. Then, at some random point, for whatever reason I haven't been able to figure out, it will do it again and I have to do the unmount/remount thing again.

I thought, maybe, it had to do with the media scanning process. Who knows...

Has anyone else had this problem or heard of something like it? Is there some kind of log that I can run that might catch what is causing it? Is it just because this phone doesn't like the 128gb cards?

I wasn't sure if it was a ROM problem, a device problem, or an SD card problem.
[Desire 816 Android Development] ajones23:
Yes I encountered this a while back,but I forgot to mention it. Everything on the card goes blank,no music shows up or pictures in the gallery. I did it just like you said and also formatted as media storage. I got a PNY 128gb card. Weird huh.
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
Did you ever figure out a solution, did you switch back to your previous SD card, or did you just keep the 128gb formatted as portable (external) storage?

Sent from my a5_chl HTC Desire 816 on Virgin Mobile running unofficial CM13
[Desire 816 Android Development] ajones23:
No never figured out a solution. Went back to my 64gb card.
[Desire 816 Android Development] promi:
HI.

This rom i awesome, but i have HUGE battery drain when my smartwatch is connected. I realized that when watch is connected something prevents my phone to go into deep sleep, and i have 100% battery lost in about 4 hours.

Can i do something about that, except disconnecting my watch ? :)

Edit: my phone is a5_ul and it is flashed with cm-13.0-20160216-UNOFFICIAL-a5chl.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
it's probably both a wakelock and the BT radio being pinged too often causing your battery drain.

maybe a different control app for the watch? you can also limit the existing app's permissions in settings>apps if you want to look at that.
[Desire 816 Android Development] promi:
Do You think that official android wear app can cause this? I did't heard about different app for android wear smartwaches.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Google's apps are well known for being battery suckers... the cheaper smartwatches definably have several options for control.

look up BT control and suchlike names on Google and or Play.

Really?!?! I think one line of "delete this post" would've worked just fine. ?

Sent from my a5_chl HTC Desire 816 on Virgin Mobile running unofficial CM13
[Desire 816 Android Development] StirringDesert:
Using this ROM on my a5_ul for a few hours now, so far so good! Only had to fix Facebook, but that was easy enough. Even sound seems to be in a pretty good shape compared to what I experienced on CM 11 some time ago. Microphone compression isn't there of course , which means when talking to someone on speaker they will barely hear you, but that's a very minor problem in my opinion.

Edit: one bug I found is turning power save mode on or off from the quick tile crashes System UI.
[Desire 816 Android Development] CheerChost:
Is this working with Sprint prepaid service? I've tried flashing before and everything except mobile has been working and I don't know if it's just my service provider or I have to do something special.

Edit: I tried doing the VM eri fix like suggested by ROM poster for sprint but it still doesn't work. it says i'm connected to sprint but when I try to go to a web page I have a connection error.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
there's different apn fixes for each sprint mvno.

boost, virgin mobile, ringplus, (ting?) all different.

I've only collected information on virgin which is usually compatible with sprint except for mms, and someone mentioned ringplus apns i think. you'll need the right one for whatever mvno prepaid you've got.

if you find it, post it, and I'll link to it for others on the same carrier.
[Desire 816 Android Development] CheerChost:
Well that's the thing. I got it straight from sprint prepaid so I don't have boost or virgin mobile etc, just Sprint. I've been able to find APN settings but there's nowhere to save them on this ROM, and I can't find a flashable zip.

EDIT: Sooo I flashed the universal VM APN fix and now I get data but can't send texts but I can get them from others.

edit part deux: This is where I'm at. If I have the SIM card in then I can send and receive texts, but I don't get data. If I remove the sim I get data and RECEIVE texts but can't send them. What I did was flash the universal VM APN fix (i replaced all virgin mobile with sprint in eri.xml) and then flashed the VM eri fix and did the same thing, went into notepad++ and changed all "virgin mobile" to "sprint".
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
post your needed apn settings and I'll fix you up a patch to apns-conf.xml

I've noticed not being able to send text with sim out. been a while since i saw it so we'll start with the apns and go from there as needed
[Desire 816 Android Development] CheerChost:
I attached an image with the APNs. XDA won't let me post urls being a new user an all so it would be a little difficult to type in plain text.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
ok, you have a different apn.

here is a modified apns-conf.xml

unzip it then

put apns-conf.xml in system/etc with root root ownership and rw-r--r-- permissions using cm file manager

or in terminal

su -c "chown root:root /system/etc/apns-conf.xml && chmod 644 /system/etc/apns-conf.xml"

reboot. please report.
[Desire 816 Android Development] CheerChost:
It doesn't work. I had to give /system write permissions since in the terminal it always said "read only file system". tried multiple times, still failed.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
i forgot how picky terminal is in mm

you either have to su -c "mount -o remount,rw /ssytem" before changing permissions in terminal or trying to copy the file in terminal.

the file manager is a lot easier, takes care of the rw thing for you
[Desire 816 Android Development] CheerChost:
Would having the external SD mounted as internal cause issues? I'm having trouble with errors like "some file systems do not allow permission changes". Should I factory reset and start fresh?

edit: I just formatted sd card as portable, did a factory reset and now I have data with "roaming indicator on". (and LTE) I think we may be getting close.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
good, data is working. the roaming indicator thing is the eri.xml

I'll update the apn fix soon so it's flashable with this apn in the list too
[Desire 816 Android Development] Uzzo1211:
Flashlight

Not a big deal,but the flashlight widget doesn't work, flashlight apps work, just the widget on the drop down menu. It unfortunately doesn't work with the google now command, and says that my phone doesn't have a flashlight. Other than that great work on the ROM :D, I really appreciate it.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
the code tweak that got the camera working in this release involved returning zero flash units during camera detection (or it'd crash the camera every time.)
[Desire 816 Android Development] Uzzo1211:
Thanks for the response! I'd much rather have my camera than a flashlight widget :)
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
Are you using Xposed Framework? If so, there is a module called NeoPower Menu that replaces the regular power menu with a customizable one when you push & hold the power button. One of the options you can add is "Turn Torch On". This relieved my anxiety of not having a flashlight widget.

Also, [MENTION=2980661]bigsupersquid[/MENTION], you may or may not recall the problem I was having with using Adoptable Storage and not being able to flash anything from the SD card once it was formated as Internal Storage, I found an app in the Play Store called Root Essentials that has amongst its many features, an Adoptable Storage feature that will partition your SD card & lets you use part of it as Internal Storage and part of it as Portable Storage. You can save flashable items to the portable partition and they are accessible in recovery. [emoji2]
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
[MENTION=4022811]GreyCelt[/MENTION]

I'm thinking it's the newer partition table that keeps most tools from sectioning the card into something Android will only format part of.

if it's an older style partition table (what, msdos?) Android wants to make it all (GPT?)

so that app must partition the card with the same type of parttion table as marshmallow uses for adopted storage.

thanks.

Hi, just flashed this few days ago ad loving it over te official 12.0 version which seema erratic. Like others, I am having issues with wifi, tethering and facebook. The former two refuse to turn on and the latter does not have the path I need to fix it. Any help greatly appreciatsed - I am on a5chl single sim.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
not sure about Facebook, but the wifi problem is usually not having updated to official lollipop before flashing marshmallow rom. there's info on that in the device forum
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
teaser.

finally got pc pieced together including $140 worth of ssd drives, 2 set up as RAID0. pretty slick and fast until it pops a valve like its predecessors. builds cm13 clean with empty ccache in 1 hour 30 min... compares nicely to the 3+ hours it used to take me before. Oh, and that's a dex-preopt build, which takes longer to make than regular, and is almost twice as big a zip file, but first boot is as fast as subsequent boots.

checked for fun to see about blob differences between [MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION]'s proprietary_vendor_htc and the ul official mm blobs with meld. the only one that was different was the vendor camera blob. I was really surprised that the blobs matched ul... because a few of the ril blobs used to differ between ul, chl, and dwg.

I just copied vendor/htc/a5dwg to vendor/htc/a5ul (and changed all instances of dwg to ul in the folder.) So I could start testing, I thought.

built from Grarak's tree, added device/htc/a5ul updates with eri/apns-conf.xml files, and amazingly mobile data works with the MM blobs. I didn't expect that, after nobody could get chl mobile data working with official ul MM.

that would indicate the a5dwg split off a5-common in his vendor/htc isn't required like in LP.

Grarak did some magic and it's really slick now.

everything else seems to work, which I'm not as surprised about, but of course I've not tested it all.

I'll upload today. new security patches.

cm 12.1 seems to build ok too. New version going to go up for that as well, pretty much just because of security patches.
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
[MENTION=2980661]bigsupersquid[/MENTION] This is AMAZING news! So happy for you. I had faith in you. Can't wait for the new builds to come rolling in. [emoji2]
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
this phone is so slick compared to anything I've used but my evo 3d, it'd be a shame if no-one was supporting the single sim model.

it doesn't hurt any that Grarak's sources work so well with little modification for these variants, too.

my mms incoming was acting up so I searched out another APN variation to test for this one. It's working well for me so far, but of course things seem different from phone to phone with Virgin and Sprint. And LTE hasn't worked around my locale since February or so, which means I can't test that.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
aw, dang it, the apn is dorked up again.

I get data but mms finds no apn.

more work before release, sorry for tease
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
That's alright. At least you're working out the bugs & back at it.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
hopefully last test build! apn working again. had to set ro.cdma.home.operator to 310120 instead of 311490 like I'm used to for Virgin.

and match xml folders in overlay with that mcc/mnc

with luck it'll work for more than just chl, but of course ul and tl and whatever'll have to try it out. no dual-sim support since official has that and I don't need the headache.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
uploading new build!

(as soon as my ISP settles down, rain makes them intermittent, first three tries failed. at least git is more resilient)

//edit: bah, might take them days. uploading via phone end edit//

notable features:

MM blobs and mostly Grarak's device tree

no more hackery in camera

working FM radio

Virgin Mobile carrier label and proper data icons

June 1 security patch

enforcing selinux

dex-preopt (odexed) for fast first boot

I'll update OP after upload completes.

Also wanted to say especially thanks to [MENTION=4443334]Grarak[/MENTION] for the slickly updated device tree, all I added was a duplication of vendor/htc/a5dwg patched as a5ul, patched section mismatch errors in kernel, and updated the a5ul folder with probably more tweaks than it actually needed for a5_chl.

On another device that I have running CM13 (Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1), when I tried to flash SuperSU from TWRP it bootlooped. When I tried installing SuperSU from the Play Store it bootlooped. Both times it was after I turned-on Root access from settings in CM and gave SuperSU permission. I ended-up just using the built-in Root access and uninstalled SuperSU. I prefer using SuperSU but I just couldn't get it to stick no matter what I did.

I know they're different devices but it may be related based on more recent CM13 builds.
