In the link which one should I download and flash there r lot of ROMs. I have flashed cm13.0-20160109 no camera and no working network. WiFi works well. I have also flashed MM_VM_ERI_FIX.zip .. Can any one plz help me to fix this issues...
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
use the latest one (most recent date) for working camera. network depends on your model. dual sim users dwg version, single sim chl version

Hi bigsupersquid,

I decided to roll back to 5.0.2 and then start a fresh install this morning. Following the same steps I did before I completed the install, allowed the phone to set about 30 minutes then had my wife send a picture to me and it worked. I don't know what was different, but I thank you for your help. I am sure somewhere I did something that created this issue.

Thanks again...

Additional Note:

After rebooting I experienced the same issue. This time when I switched to airplane mode, then back the issue was resolved. I tried rebooting a second time and experienced the same thing. Minor issue, but I wanted to let you know about it.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
with latest official twrp, 3.0.2-0, I can back up to my 8Gb SD formatted as internal, but not restore from it. so it'll write to the card but apparently not read... I'll do some searching and see if it's a problem for other devices too.

[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
you have to format a card as internal storage for that if I'm remembering correctly.

My device has sim1 not working. Iam using only sim2 (for now) how to make Sim2 working internet.. in stock ROM it worked well.. I have tryed *#*#4636#*#* it won't changed to WCDMA its only in GSM ONLY.. plz help
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
the instructions to make dual sim radio work as well as it's going to in the current release of this rom are in a quote near the beginning of the first post.

until my house financing mayhem is complete i have zero time to fix code so that's the last release until further notice. grarak's cm13 in the original development forum is meant for dual Sim, maybe it'd work better for you.

[MENTION=2980661]bigsupersquid[/MENTION] ,

Finally took the plunge to cyanogenmod on my a5chl , haven't had it on any of my phones as a daily driver since CM7 was out..

Anyways , bugs I currently have

- Facebook FC , I'm sure theirs an actual fix for this ( not the one in post 3 ) that will eventually be included.?

- Mobile Data

So I flashed latest CM CHL zip and stock gapps and upon boot I got signal instantly but with "roaming indicator" showing.. So I toggled airplane mode on and *#*#4636#*#* and made sure it was set to "CDMA\LTE auto (prl)" ... Then after a minute or two I toggled air plain off and same issue... So I flashed the universal apn and eri patch and when phone booted it says "Virgin Mobile" now.. But I still am not getting any form of data...

Leaving this to you because simply I've never messed with open source roms. I'm use to closed source and stock files... Sorry
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I've had to use one of three different apn files depending on which build of this I've run, even though my network hasn't changed. one mccmnc 310120, the other mccmnc 311490. try editing the apns-conf to switch to the other and see if that works maybe. the third apn file, uses different apn names but the rest is the same, so I've not needed to mess with that.

right now, my personal install has been tinkered with for so long I've got data but mms whines about the apn and won't send.

the eri fix just changes the carrier label but no more.

the network controls, either hidden menu or settings, don't work right because of missing ril code.

if you need to change network settings like the cdma only mode instead of lte preferred, you can change that one in a stock backup, and it'll stick when you restore cm13...

sorry it's buggy, I'd be happy to work on it but my personal life has interfered since the last build basically.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bmac6996:
Big thanks for the Rom. Got the HTC 816 for Ringplus with there special plans. Wanted a phone I can root and use custom rom and chose this.

When I finally downloaded and i used the correct rom (I was using the dual SIM varient.. oops! Pay attenion lol), I was able to get a signal but no data. That was a good start cause the other roms i tried I didn't get any basic phone service. I then flashed (forgot the file name.. starts with "m", slayer") and after a few minuets I was connected with LTE data. yay!

A few things:

Bluetooth - Looks like others are having issues. Auto connects to car stereo and 1/3 times, it'll start cutting in and out. Toggling bluetooth on/off doesn't fix. A full reboot does.

Ambient display - When i get a notification while the screen is locked, it turns on and shows the notification and turns off. When i start picking up the phone or put a body part near the phone, the display doesn't turn on. I'm assuming to should work similar to my Moto E 2015?

Data Speed - Could be a ringplus/sprint issue, but it says LTE but speeds are slow at times. Will keep testing this.. but wanted to throw it out there.

Thanks for the ROM. Look forward to updates!

Do you have a stock lollipop twrp backup... pc is down and lost the files recently.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
yes, I'll upload it to afh once i get home to wifi.

i recently lost a hard drive chock full of goodies too, and had to download the ruu from htc to get that backup available.
[Desire 816 Android Development] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Cant run ruu on my pc at the moment lol or i would.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
ugh, backup on one of the cards that got buried with MY pc, in a nest of boxes in garage during the last shutdown of my own personal space, I'm afraid.

I'm sorry, it may be the weekend before i can get to it and upload.

Maybe the guys at root ninja are mistaken. They told me before i bought it that with Soff, SIM capabilities are enabled for offshore US. just selcting GLOBAL MODE. yet i see no global mode here at all.
[Desire 816 Android Development] xXminiWHOOPERxX:
Can you make a stock lollipop twrp backup?
[Desire 816 Android Development] luisitox22:
On it, just unlocked bootloader and and flashing twrp as we speak. Will create back up and upload :).

Stand by. If you can get data working on this little guy, you would be my wonder woman all over again! well you kinda all ready are for the HTC EYE so ya know lol.

Great rom. i have managed to fix everything on my own that ive had a problem with however im having an issue with receiving texts only... i can send and make calls and send texts and can also use the internet over LTE. am on a Virgin mobile carrier thanks again!

There you go, i hope it helps. I have been trying all i think of to get GSM calling/text/data.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
i was messing around with aparted for grins,

at least two partitions of sd are usable as portable storage after a reboot (filesystem type isn't as limited as it used to be either)

but attempting to use any of them as internal, formats the whole card with gpt partition table. takes over any previous partitioning.
[Desire 816 Android Development] tatono:
now that we have official CM13, you could make a version for a5_ul?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
if i had a pc set up probably. the MM ril blobs might well be incompatible with chl though, which would spoil the point of using that source for me personally.

not that i foresee any pc setup in the near future anyway.
[Desire 816 Android Development] :
Vodafone and airtel sim not detected on dual sim version .And the WiFi is erratic. The WiFi was supposed to be fixed in the latest build. But its still a problem.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
it's a single-sim rom version, I haven't gotten dual sim functions in any cm build yet.

my wifi has been solid, is your firmware lollipop or kitkat? I've read of wifi issues with old firmware.
[Desire 816 Android Development] :
Nope its kitkat firmware. I can't update to lollipop firmware because I can't find my device's RUU. I don't expect both sim cards to work. But at least one should.
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
It doesn't want to format my SD Card for use as internal storage. It tries but then says the SD Card is corrupted. Has anyone else tried to format their SD Card as internal storage?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
with the old firmware there may be various hardware issues. And I don't think I've had any reports of any reliable radio function from any dual sim devices on this ROM. (though I could be wrong there.)

The device tree I forked (cm standard) doesn't handle the dual sim flags and software like Grarak's tree, and his old builds are the only ones I've read about having working dual sim functionality on the a5.

I unfortunately can't offer software support for a device I don't own or have in hand to test on. If things work out of the box, awesome, but without being able to flash, reflash, log, dmesg, etc. myself there's not going to be much I can do.

Hopefully Grarak will have marshmallow debugged enough soon that he can release builds.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
just tried, it's failing to format the card correctly says logcat. I'll look into it later.
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
Thanks! At least I'm not going crazy. [emoji12]

Also...

Settings > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names...

gets a force close.

That's where I would go in CM 12.1 to toggle the APNs when I couldn't get LTE to come on. Luckily, with this CM 13 build just toggling Airplane mode does the trick so far.

I will say though that this build connects automagically more often than not when leaving the range of a WiFi area.

Thanks for all your time and work on this!

I need the device folders with all the changes to pick apart (source code, not just the main PAC repo that's linked in that thread.)

I'm not much of a porter, and don't smali/baksmali or decompile much.

Just build from source.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
I can't believe how many posts are around about CM 13 camera issues, but no dev I could find commented on how they fixed the camera. >.<

So should I just try different camera apps, or what? Sorry, guess I'm not sure how to "experiment", but I'd like to help get the camera working if I can contribute. Thanks.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
Yeah, lots of working now posts, and logcats with similar errors. But diddly for real info.

Other apps won't fix it, cameraservice is busted cause it can't find front or back camera.

I've been pillaging device folders for related commits with board cflags, prop settings.. Nothing yet.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
Maybe you/we could pull the 6.0 camera setup from the HTC Desire Eye. In theory, it has a very similar camera, but I don't know how much it relies on HTC Sense framework. I guess I'll try to start pulling camera stuff from that ROM and flashing on CM 13. Any ideas/thoughts?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
I grab from the device folders and rebuild instead.

Took most of the 6.0 changes from m8 but camera is different. Eye uses the same common repo as m8 so maybe.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
Alright. I'm going to try working on building CM 13, and then I can see if I can get the camera patched.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
The roomservice is a little different.

add

<project name="CyanogenMod/android_external_stlport" path="external/stlport" remote="github" />

and change my repos to revision cm-13.0

I'll have to push cm13 changes up again, not sure if the last batch was stable or not.
[Desire 816 Android Development] Bandit Development:
So all I need to do is add that project and change the revisions in the room service?

Repo sync and then I can just lunch cm_a5_debug etc?

EDIT just got a duplicate error concerning: "external/stlport" when repo syncing. Should I take the one back out of the room service?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
yep.

and yep.

but it may not be working right, having to clobber and check now. you can always revert the a5 folder a commit or two. the lte data is a good one to start from. the next one brings in too much of grarak's stuff but fixes wifi.

revert the init.qcom.usb.rc to the lte data hash to fix the mtp problems of the last build.
[Desire 816 Android Development] dforestb:
Have an A5_CHL on Ringplus carrier.

Recently clean flashed 20160216 and Open GApps micro. Flashed the MM VM eri fix and Universal vmu APN fix. I am having two problems.

First problem, Mobile Data doesn't work.

Settings->Cellular networks->Carrier settings gives the error "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped."

Logcat snippet:

Also, not sure if it's relevant, but I see a lot of traces like this:

Edit: Flashing MVNOSlayer R4 got LTE working, however Settings->Cellular networks->Carrier settings still crashes com.android.phone.

Second problem is the internal storage shows only 4.30 GB total, which should be 7.8 GB or so I think.

Edit: I read this issue is due to S-ON. Is there any way to get S-OFF besides paying $25 for Sunshine?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
that carrier settings is a known reported bug.

I'll add the mvnoslayer thread to post 3 for your carrier, thanks (it breaks my data)

I've no info on s-off but sunshine, mine's s-on. I'm cheap and it's not worth the $25 to me to experiment with older firmware and fastboot more .img's to 'forbidden' partitions.

[Desire 816 Android Development] clydeml:
Hi, I just wanted to post an observation, I know several people have posted that they need to flip airplane mode off and on periodically to get a data connection. I am experiencing the same thing. Mine seems to happen whenever I move out of range of my wifi connection. A quick toggle to airplane mode puts gets me back on the carrier data connection.
[Desire 816 Android Development] shamnath29:
yeah that's the mistake i did

i flashed the rom without making a backup

the phone does not get a network connection

the camera is broken

the wifi doesn't work

And plenty more

[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
a5ul has been reported working.

no camera means you're running an older build. don't download from the archives. use the last a5chl build.

you may need carrier specific apns for your network woes.

yeah i tested the a5_chl version and it works

the network is woking

the camera is working

data working etc etc

but the wifi issue still persist and ther are minor touch issues too

any way to manually update the firmware to lollipop since i cant roll back to the stock kitkat and update to lollipop, so that i can get the wifi to work ?

the firmware.zip found on xda is for a5_dug CID: HTC__J15 and not for a5_ul/chl. any help with that ? can i use the dug version for ul ?

thanks anyway for helping out
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
The wifi and touch issues are typical if you haven't updated the firmware to Lollipop.

I'll see if I can find the link to the thread with instructions for that.
[Desire 816 Android Development] GreyCelt:
[MENTION=6073744]shamnath29[/MENTION] I can't seem to find a method for updating the firmware to Lollipop that doesn't require flashing the RUU to get back to stock and taking the official OTA.

I thought there was another method but I may be mistaken. Maybe someone else knows of one. Sorry. ￼

Are you on a5_ul? I'm on a5_chl. Curious, why can't you use the RUU method? I'm not familiar with the a5_ul variant and whats available for it.
[Desire 816 Android Development] shamnath29:
first of all thanks for stopping by and looking into my problem

as u said i had the idea of giving a try on the RUU method and then update via ota.........but the RUU's i found online was the europe and india versions and i am looking for a GCC one since i have CID: HTC__J15

can u help me find one apt my device ?
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
you'll have to get it from htcdev

i googled for virgin mobile htc desire 816 software update and got the htcdev site.

Google for the same but your carrier maybe.

but the ul, has gotten official marshmallow, so I'm not sure if the ruu available from there is LP or MM.
[Desire 816 Android Development] shamnath29:
i have the marshmallow ota update zip file for my device . Is it possible for me to just flash that using hboot ?

all the versions are different in it from the current firmware i am running........like the hboot, radio etc etc

or do i need an s-off for that ?

do u advice me on going to stock and then updating to marshmallow or just flash the file i have ?

Thanks again
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
you need to relock your bootloader after fastboot flashing a stock recovery before hboot flashing the ruu. reflashing a stock system backup then doing a factory reset is a good idea too before relocking.

you probably have to grab the .img from attempting to install the. exe, rename it, put it on sdcard, then boot into hboot, unless it works for you with just the .exe route.

plus there's no reports of mm firmware with this rom yet, but I'd wager it'll work better than kitkat.
[Desire 816 Android Development] frank9184:
Is this project gone?

Well,there is no cyanogenmod 13 build for signal SIM Desire 816

128GB SD Card???

I know this isn't specific for this ROM but....

Has anyone tried using a 128GB SD Card with this phone? I thought I remembered reading that it was compatible with a 128GB SD Card but I seem to be having nothing but problems with it.

I got one yesterday and it seems like sometimes it recognizes it and sometimes it doesn't.

It's a SanDisk Ultra 128GB microSDXC UHS-I 80MB/s Card bought straight from Amazon and not some 3rd party company on there.

I'm doing a complete overwrite and format of it now and then I'm gonna see if it works better.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
first post has source links that are valid for that far back. no camera. later source got lost anyway.

you'll have to get a master cm manifest for that date to build it though.
[Desire 816 Android Development] bigsupersquid:
