Couple of Silly Questions:
1). Is it possible to modify the open source ROMs available to use TouchWiz? I happen to be in the minority that like it. If not, however, no big deal.
2). Question for those that have flashed a new rom: Is it possible to get the Avatar app and the Sims 3 app to continue to work? Or do they just work out of the box?

It depends on what you mean by open source. Eugene373 was playing around with an AOSP build for the Vibrant, but it hasn't gone much of anywhere lately. His latest custom roms (Vibrant9/VibrantR3) were built primarily for getting rid of as much of Touchwiz as medically possible and they are basically stripped down and customized versions of the stock ROM. CyanogenMod 6.1 is the only other open source ROM being worked on and it's still in alpha. I don't see Cyanogen or any of the team members working on our port caring about Touchwiz as it sort of defeats the purpose of stock Android in the first place.
The basic point behind custom or aosp roms is that you don't like Touchwiz and prefer stock android, so it's a bit of a self-defeating strategy to think about adding back what the mods are deliberately removing.
If you like Touchwiz (as I do) then I'd say stick with stock and tweak/customize from there. It's too much work to approach from the other end and makes little sense. I'm basically stock, rooted, lots of the bloatware removed, MobileAP and the Captivate Camera installed, EXT3 lagfix...and that's about it. Phone is smooth as butter.
If you are running a custom rom, it is possible to simply push back the Avatar "app", as it's just a shortcut to the movie file on the sd card. You can also just run the VideoPlayer and start it from there regardless, so I guess that's a matter of preference. I got rid of the pointless icon. The Sims 3 install apk can be found in one of the system dump threads in the development section.
I am not a developer.but as a user i want something interesting.
But i can be your tester and let you know about your Rom.
I have seen many custom Roms and tried it on my SGS 2 i am not happy, all the roms say they have changed this and that but no visible changes just some color changes and EYE wash if any.
If there is any developer who can do something different rather than using the stupid Touch Wiz/Stupid MIUI which is like IOS .
let me know i will try it on my SGS2 if i am happy i will donate as much as i can.
Or give me pure google i know u will talk about drivers for specific devices include it your rom and give atleast pure google experience.
Every custom Rom change log is always long they say they changed so many things but i dont see any difference as a user and not seen so much problems in stock to fix. i test custom roms and i go back to my stock by restoring.
I am talking about development not modifying the existing software.
So many custom roms are out there but non of them are interesting i mean nothing new.
The fact is stock is excellent, there's not much wrong with them, if you want aosp try cm7.
We as users have a large choice of roms to choose from, the next best would be to have cm7 with some aspects of touchwiz but impossible to do with closed drivers.

Sounds like all you want is a new launcher. Search the market and try different ones out, or search for video examples of them, there's plenty out there.
You could take a look at what claystone 3d launcher is upto.

So, Just days after making my post about my thoughts on the latest stable Miui.us Rom which is version 2.10.26.3 I was looking through the original dev section and came across (almost as soon as it was put out) The Miui Lens edition. Which was originally titled to imply that the rom was able to be used right off the bat as a daily driver, so I downloaded, and installed it. And here was my original impression.
Before the first update release the rom was uninstallable, but this was fixed.
I installed it to realize that I stupidly had not installed gapps, so I picked from one of my default gapps version I keep on my SD card, and installed it.
I got back into the rom, to realize that out of the hardware keys (back, home, recent apps) the only one working, was back.
Within minutes, this rom was updated to fix said issue. And I currently have all buttons working, that said I am having a haptic feedback issue where none of the buttons make the phone vibrate, this was not enough of an issue to get me off the rom, so I continued and until today was waiting for another update to hopefully fix the issue, but even with said update, issues are existant that still make phone usage not completely satisfying, as it was in the Miui.us 2.10.26.3 version of this rom.
Usability current Testing results, and thoughts:
I would like to start out here by saying that I have every intention of going back to the lens release of miui as soon as I can confirm that it is stable enough for ME to use as a daily, which for me, generally means that everything I do on the phone has to function properly, without the need of downloading a separate application, or having to fix things manually. I like the lens release of the rom more SPECIFICALLY because of the developer. His releases of the Miui rom are getting better, not worse, and I likely believe that he will create the perfect Miui rom for our phone faster than the developers at Miui.us.
1. Miui Launcher Configuration is functioning properly
2. Miui Themes is currently functioning properly as long as an account is set up, during the set up process.
3. Miui Music test showed first, that the app was functioning properly, however upon secondary test of setting configuration I realized that when
the Id3 tag correction and album art download was enabled without setting up an account during setup process, that the music app would F/C
I rebooted and cleared my cache and dalvic.
4. Headphone test (Brought to you by the Lens Rom Forum) failed, without an application (headphone toggle) from the Marketplace any -----------headphones plugged into the device, will not output sound. The device will remain on speaker.
5. Miui Sound Recorder, upon initializing sound record brings the emergency notification (Internal Application Error)
6. Miui Music Visualizer on both lockscreen and widget are responding to system sounds only (such as a notification, or a previously enabled or defaulted touch sound. They do not respond to music.
7. Miui will not detect that music is playing and alter the lockscreen to music format for you, because of this, to access the lockscreen music controls you must double tap on the...dongle to drag and unlock, to switch to the music control lockscreen, this is not a major issue, however with the visualizer not working, the controls, and the widget look a tad bland for Miui. (odd how that works)
8. The Miui Virus Scanning Application is functioning properly (a test was done with a known app to contain a virus, it was found and removed)
9. The Miui Shake to organize on home screen is not currently an available feature for this rom.
10. The Miui Notes application is functioning properly.
11. The Miui Setup Process was completed without error.
12. Miui Wifi download speeds seem comparable to sense. However an issue with rom abuse may cause you to loose ALL internet access until phone was rebooted, I cannot test further as I am still currently unaware of how this happened. But after I got this rom, I was preforming tests on it to test stability for 3 hours straight without letting the device sleep, after 3 hours (and some odd minutes) my internet, while displaying I had a perfect connection in 3g, and wifi, would not download an app, load a webpage (tested on 3 separate browsers), or allow internet access to an application.
13. The Miui firewall application, Seems, to be functioning properly, however when first setup it did not block the first incoming call from test subject. All others, were blocked respectively.
14. The Miui Camera featured in this rom (actually a camera from a previous AOSP rom) is functioning properly, with all settings configured, It is not a Miui Camera but a modded camera none the less, and has interesting features, that I will miss, upon loosing this rom.
15. All Miui Notification configurations are working properly
16. Miui sound mods have been enabled on this device, allowing me to hear my ringtone from 3 rooms away in an apartment (currently not so on cm10, and Paranoid android (tho I do love that rom))
17. Miui Online music, notifications, themes, album art, and id3 tag correction will only work if an account is set up at the initial boot of the room during setup.
18. The Miui Torch is working without issue on this rom.
19. Awesome beats v3 is untestable at the moment but assumed working, as headphones can be enabled.
20. The Miui Built in equalizer is working properly on this rom.
21. The Komodo Sweep to Wake OC kernel is currently working properly on this rom.
22. Live wallpapers are working correctly on this rom
23. Miui Weather Widgets cannot function without a translated version of the Miui Weather Application that can detect US cities (not yet available)
24. The Miui Clock application seems to be functioning properly (tested alarm, timer, timezone config, and stopwatch)
25. The Miui Smart Dialer seems to be functioning properly
26. The Miui Call Record feature seems to be functioning properly (tested on a call with test subject)
27. Lockscreen wallpaper changer, homescreen wallpaper change, and live wallpaper change are functioning properly .
28. There is not a Miui Toolbox application on this rom (No root configuration other than what is listed in settings)
29. Adblock for android seems to be working on this rom.
30. Notification dual touch re-size seems to be functioning correctly on this rom.
31. Lucky patcher confirmed installed properly on this rom.
32. LBE guard and App control Miui Applications are functioning properly on this rom.
33. Prompt requesting root access is working properly on this rom.
34. Anreboot, and goo manager are working properly on this rom.
35. Dual core AOSP mod is functioning properly on this rom.
36. All but weather widgets are currently functioning properly on this rom.
37. Google voice (brought to you by the Lens rom Forum) is not currently working on this rom.
-I would like to point out, that sprint is partnered with google voice, and you can set it to replace your actual voicemail, and text you visual voicemail, making all your texts go to you, and all calls go to you, you have visual voicemail, and regular voicemail. It will also screen your calls and blah blah, idk what the app is for if it already does that, if you know something that you would be missing, please inform me promptly.
38. Lucky patcher patch confirmed working on all different configurations on multiple applications.
39. Flash for JB is working perfectly on this rom.
40. the Miui Browser is functioning perfectly on this rom.
41. the miui contacts application is functioning properly on this rom.
42. The miui messaging application is working properly on this rom.
43. The Miui Torch application is functioning properly on this rom.
44. The miui (breaking news) I just got another music F/C on lockscreen double-tap access
45. The miui Compass is working properly on this rom.
46. All lockscreen transition options are working properly on this rom.
47. 3g, 1x signal bars seem to be accurate in comparison to sense rom.
48. Calendar, reminders for calendar, and notifications for calendar are working properly on this rom.
49. GPS is gives me results accurate to 100 meters on this rom instantly, on Miui.us I get an instant lock to within 20 meters.
50. Mirror widgets are working properly on this phone.
51. Bluetooth is working properly on this rom.
If you have something you would like me to test other than the 51 things i have already tested for you please let me know below and I will try to get around to it within 1-2 days. I will keep a backup of this and of The Miui.us rom and keep them both updated, i will also, keep both of these posts updated to the best of my ability.
Thank you very much, and i hope you have a wonderful day.

I am...
I am a rom addicted htc user who wants to provide information for those who don't wish to flash a rom, and then find problems, when they could have looked to someone to tell them in the first place, and saved themselves the trouble.
I am also a rom addicted htc user who wants to see the roms I have loved on other devices (like the Miui rom) brought to the phone I love.
So I test to ensure that no one who is looking for a daily driver has to go through the pains of downloading a broken rom without them knowing about it when the information about the problems was nowhere to be found, but the good things about the rom displayed clearly in plain sight.
Thank you for replying to my post, and I hope you have a wonderful day.
If you're gonna do this you should make a general ROM review thread instead of making a new one every time you review a different ROM. Every time you write a different review in the thread just update the op with a link to the post with that review. Its not a bad idea what you're doing. It would just be better for everyone, including yourself, to have them consolidated into one thread.
Thank you for viewing my post.

Definitely understood youdug, actually thinking about creating a thread and moving all old OP review threads down a notch, so that the new review can be made more easily readable by people with quick running attention spans as the thread is updated, using multiple edits thats gonna be a hassle though at the moment while i have a time restricted limit on editing and posting, i was also posting them in seperate threads so that they would be viewed quicker and i could assign multiple tags to each, but i hadnt really thought about how i could put them in one thread while making them easily accessible.
Will definitely create a general rom review thread and find a way to make it work and once again...

Assuming the authenticity of your post I suggest a pro and con approach to reviewing. Saying that a certain feature is working just makes your review look like a college textbook.
"Thoughts on the New LENS Miui Release."
My thoughts are that it, and a few other ROMs, aren't GPL compliant.

I was thinking wow, amazingly harsh considering I watched this rom coming together over xda via communication between lens and various testers since he doesn't even have the device.. Maybe consider knowing how things came about b4 criticizing?? Just my 2 cents.. No intent of offense whatsoever..

thankyou...XHAUS
and the others....
I will try and update my rom fully and comply with the gpl compliance rule...
I may have been mistaken but...I thought GPL only complied to Kernels and maybe source based roms.....
If i am doing something wrong..;.Please let me know through PM and I will be sure to fix whatever is wrong....
But to all you evo users
and to all miui users this projects that i am doing for the evo lte is all thanks to the testers.
I couldnt have completed the rom since I dont have the phone..But thanks to the testers here
We all made this happen

Thank you for replying to my post. I could make it that way but im going to have to figure out how to do so without leaving some things out for testing, I suppose I could test and not post all the results from my testing on the forum and only post that things are working or that they aren't and I appreciate you taking the time to reply to my post.
@flex 360
I hope you do not take this as a REVIEW of the rom, but simply as what is working and what isn't, and im only displaying this information for the people who don't want to take the time to go through 100 pages of a forum to find out if a problem has been solved, just to find 20 pages later that another problem has shown up, Im not displaying this for people testing the rom as they want to go through and find the issues that you may have missed and comment on them to help development. Im writing these from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't want to test a rom, but does want to use it, because I am certain you know that there are a lot more of those people out there than people willing to test the rom.
But if you would like me not to post a view on your rom, I suppose I will not, but I can already promise you, that sometime in the past I have already flashed your rom onto my phone and used it for atleast a little while.
@fpineda101
Thank you for replying to my post, and I am glad that you understand what I am trying to do here along with some others. I am starting to understand that these "reviews" are coming off, to some people, in a different way than I intended them to. Although I would have left the term "noob" out of my comment I appreciate your understanding.
@sparytrainor
Thank you for replying to my post. I sincerely wish you would have read the entire OP before making a comment such as that. I gave many compliments to Lens throughout the entire thing, and I still believe he will have the rom working perfectly on our phones before anyone else out there because of how much effort he is putting into the development of his rom, I in no way intended to state anything negative about his rom, But to give information to people not looking to test, what is working, and what is not. Now that I understand how it is coming off to you and others I will begin to choose my wording more carefully.
Also, I had the rom within minutes of it being posted on xda-developers, and watched as it developed through the forum for a few days. To claim that I should look into knowing the person when I was one of the first to download and await progress is an incorrect assessment.
I also know that he is creating this rom without having the actual phone, which is inspiring, and another reason I attempted to compliment him throughout the entire process of the OP.
@Lens_Flare
Thank you VERY much for replying on my post. I do very much appreciate it and I hope you took no offence to my OP as I in no way intended for it to come off negative. I also hope that you understand my original (and previously stated) purpose for these threads. I am simply stating to the people, (not testers) but the majority, who are looking for a rom to stick with, that they can enjoy from start to finish.
I expect you to be the first to complete this rom for our phone and make it fully functional, WHICH IS ASTOUNDING because you do not have the actual phone. In all respects I look up to you and all rom devlopers on this phone as I am not one who currently possess is the ability to make one, and to be honest if I ever wanted to gain the knowledge and EVER create a rom, it wouldn't become popular as it would be a rom I could not post on this site (for legal reasons based on the apps and features that the rom contained, such as lucky patcher and black mart)
@All Rom Devs on xda-developers.com
I honestly had hoped that I would not have to clarify, least of all to you, my intentions for these threads. I simply originated with thoughts similar to those of the majority (the initial thought being, I want something different) and not as a tester of these roms, but as I came across a few (some not listed on xda-developers.com) and I realized that some of the roms that I REALLY wanted to try on my phone, fall in love with, and never switch from again, claimed no-where on their rom thread what the rom was currently missing, or what was broken (please note: I do not mean ALL roms on this site, but a few) and upon asking, I received the response (Flash, and see for yourself) which I at the time, I was not completely willing to do (as i generally have a pretty busy schedule, and cannot waste time flashing 3-4 roms a day). So i came to the thought everyone does, if you cant find someone to do it for you, do it yourself. Which lead me to do something that i do not generally want to do, but the majority of people downloading your roms are not testers, so i decided to take upon myself. Which is create these threads, and attempt in a way to make the issues seemingly understandable to people who do not even possess the proper knowledge required to understand what is wrong with the rom, even if told to them bluntly. Which i apologize to the majority, but again, is most people.
So if my reviews have AT ALL offended or been taken negatively by any rom developer, or even tester on this site. I sincerely apologize and i will begin to consider the wording in these "reviews". Because i in no way mean to offend, or be harsh, or state anything negative about your rom other than what the majority of people looking will want to see quickly. I view this as supporting your roms, as when a person who knows nothing about rom development, and has no appreciation for the rom developer (which i must sadly say is the majority of people seeking a rom) sees that your rom has ANYTHING AT ALL WRONG WITH IT (by their standards) that was not clearly stated to them, and they aren't willing to accept it, it will be much more difficult to get them to return to the rom, or their friends, or anyone they tell, or anyone who watched the youtube video they make, or anyone who reads their blog. Saddly this is how i must view the majority, and how i must explain to them what is wrong, in order to keep such a thing from happening to any of your wonderful roms that i have tried. I wish to see all of your roms become popular, be boasted about to people on the street by the majority, and see you flourish in the results of the incredible work you are doing to bring these roms to our phone, and this is a way i see to do it. I see one day walking past another on the street and hearing the name of the rom that i watched be developed on this site, And i wish to add my 2 cents in with these threads or this thread (which it is going to become)
Thank you all for viewing, and replying to my post, and i hope you all have a wonderful day.....

Hi all,
This isn't a "stir the pot" kind of question and I don't intend to start a "why root?" discussion... I've read as many other threads as possible and I'm just not clear on a few things. In a current "why do you want to root?" thread, many responded that they rooted so they could remove bloat ware, use wifi tethering, etc. Those are all the things I want, but I'm not sure how far I need to go to get those. Will I need to flash a custom ROM or can I do what I want now?
So, here's what I've got and what I hope to get:
I bought I DNA from a guy who wanted to "upgrade" to an iPhone 5. It did not have the 2.0 software update, so I was able to unlock it, S-OFF, and root it. I can use the SDK and adb, but primarily to follow instructions. Beyond that, I don't really know what I can do now. I had Cyanogen on my trusty old Nexus 1 and on my Xoom tablet, so I'm not afraid of custom ROMs. But, I have to say that I'm pretty pleased with the stock DNA ROM. Except for a few things...
1) What I would like is to get rid of the silly games which I won't use. I don't know enough to know if I can, with the stock ROM but root access, remove those. There's no uninstall option, but perhaps there's a way to remove those with root access? Or would I need to flash a custom ROM?
2) Remove the "entitlement check" on the wifi hotspot app. Since I'm running on T-Mo the app won't, of course, allow activation of the hotspot. Silly... I've read several threads on using SQLite to do this, but they're from last year and either the process has changed or it no longer works. I have read that I can use another app, which is an option. But if there's a way to run the stock app, I'd go for that.
So, you can see I don't really want to change much. If I can do these now, with what access I've got, please let me know (and how, please!). If I need a custom ROM, I see three options it seems. CM (which I've always liked, but seems not yet ready for DNA??), Viper and Hatka seem to be the options which are popular. I'm open to guidance here. Not a "this is the best ROM argument", but which would you recommend for my minimalist needs?
EDIT - I mentioned "three options" above, but that was just based on my reading in the past two weeks. I see there's a new M7 rom and that thread already has over 100 pages in about a week, so it looks like a popular option as well. Apologies if I missed somebody's work and I'm open to any pointers and experiences.
Thanks in advance,
Ross - in the beautiful mountains in Northern Arizona.
I guess if you know the name of the apk of the games, you can use root explorer to remove them from /system/apps but keep in mind we do not know what else it may break and then you may have to ruu back.
if you want to try a rom, try the sense 5 port by newtoroot
To remove some of the user / system apps like twitter or picas, i search 'root uninstaller' in the apps store, and the one with a green trash can has been quite reliable for me ^^
I personally like the minimalistic touch to the M7 / Sense 5 Rom. Easy to get my news, use gps, play music WITH beats on bluetooth/speaker, etc. But stock is really good to, no complaints there.
Thanks and an update - I ended up flashing the M7 and, like you said, it's nice. And an unexpected bonus is that the included wifi hotspot app works just fine with my T-Mo service, without any modifications at all.
I've got everything I wanted and it was easy, once I made the choice.

Probably not for awhile, if at all. It isn't compatible with the ART runtime which is native on any 5.0 builds. If you want to run xposed you will have to go back to kitkat.

It all depends on what you're looking for. If you want a close to stock experience, I'd suggest BarRin:

Depends on what you want out of your device. If you want stock experience you'd go the BarRin route. If you want aosp I'd go with Pac-Man or Vanir, those are my favorites. You really can't go wrong either route.
Every time I try to create and save a new contact, it saves the contact but then I get a popup that says contacts has stopped. Its weird, but the contact saves regardless...
Just thought I'd mention it. Other than that, this ROM is fantastic, have had no issues, even while using my g watch it never skips a beat!
Thanks!

You need to switch the SELinux from Enforcing to Permissive. Download SELinux Mode Changer from the play store, and it should work. It works on every Lollipop ROM I've tried.
Here's the stock LG G3 quick remote ported for AOSP http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/themes-apps/app-quickremote-port-aosp-t2929146
First, just wanna say i'm getting kinda annoyed with the whole "you have less than 10 posts" thing forcing you to come to this thread, which no one else will ever actually 'check on' because if their stuff is working, why check a Q/A thread? I have more than 10 posts but still shoves me here anyway...
Oh well.. anyway...
Real question is:
What works and what doesn't? Plain and simple. I read some 'nice' things about this ROM from the actual thread, but there isn't anything that states a "this works, this works, that works. this doesn't work, that doesn't work" kind of thing... Every other LP ROM I've tried, has broken NFC which KILLS battery life. Has broken Bluetooth that causes Kernel Panics every time you turn Bluetooth off before disconnecting your devices. And some have issues with music playback.
I'm not a person to just randomly trust my devices to some person/people who've created custom code and yet doesn't actually post what the code is, what it does, and what it doesn't do. Sure it has a change log that seems pretty expansive, but there is only ONE log on there... nothing to tell me what has been worked on and what hasn't, and what works and what doesn't. Not gonna flash a new ROM, losing all my settings that are just right atm (except a few that can't be saved at all cause they're broken), just to find out that the same problems still exist, either worse or the same.
Currently have the CM12 Unofficial installed and it has broken NFC, Bluetooth Kernel Panics all the time (gotten less though since the jan 5th update), random/sporadic volume spikes if using Bluetooth/Headphones and a phonecall comes in. and a few other issues.
But currently there's no way to actually tell what is going on with this ROM at all. only thing i've seen that has anything to do with what works and such is someone says something like "only thing Illusion was missing was Bluetooth, and this has it". So idk if that is to mean NFC and everything works, or if its just a generalized statement. Some people seem to be reporting playback issues with default media player and google's music player. some have issues with camera it seems. but only very few people are actually saying anything..

Every aosp rom is going to have the same issues. Bluetooth partially working, NFC isn't working, and some people report different issues that other people don't have. As well if you look at the day it was released there has only been one release of it so far so there is your answer to the log. It's pretty easy to make a nandroid and flash something else and if you don't like it or it is worse then then your last rom revert to your nandroid.
Also if you freeze NFC in titanium backup you won't have to worry about NFC draining battery. Other then that everything that is broken in any lollipop will be broken in the any bother lollipop roms.
As far as your post count it says you only have 5. Also the point of these threads are so people don't spam the DEVELOPMENT thread with known issues that have been repeated ten thousand times. Now granted some developers would rather not have a Q and A section but some do. We all had to abide by the same rules as you.
Also for the code if you go to their Gerrit you can check their source. If there code was bad Dirty Unicorns would be a hugely popular rom across multiple devices eg LG, HTC, Samsung, etc, etc.

Posted alot more than 5, but eh, maybe something was deleted somewhere and thus maybe takes away from total post count? idk. I understand the reason for a Q/A thread, it does make sense. what doesn't, is the need to have such a requirement for 10+ posts. what if someone actually had something to contribute to the 'development'? now they're stuck posting in here instead.
I know about DU from back when I used it as my daily driver for the Evo 3D, and it was amazing. But you can't judge the quality of a ROM based on a different device all together. Yes I know they make 'quality' ROMs, but still proper documentation should be done to let potential users know what's going on. Whether or not an issue is something that's common with all AOSP ROMs, it should still be listed because if its not, and they somehow had them working, then no one would know. and if they did get those things working and did post it, then we wouldn't have this issue in the first place.
the nandroid situation doesn't always fix things. i regularly use Torque with a highly customized layout for the cars me and my brother work on. even with a nandroid, you lose all the data and the layouts. you can export the data and layouts, but they dont import back in once the nandroid is restored for whatever reason. forcing a 3rd party app on a desktop or something to be able to access the data, and having to manually redo the layouts each time. and its not the only issue i've experienced with restoring from a nandroid.
Titanium Backup does solve the NFC issue, but it still drains the battery, though MUCH less than if it was unfrozen. But the issue there, is that unless its been changed, you must buy the full app to be able to freeze system processes and such. So knowing if it was already disabled by default from within the ROM, helps people know if they need to locate the NFC process and freeze it or not.
I really dont mean for any of my postings to sound dickish or 'finger pointing'. Just that information is key with everything. There is no real excuse for having lack of information about something when they know everything they've done to their 'product'. Many people's livelihoods rely on their mobile devices, so being able to know just what they're doing to their device is something to be taken quite seriously..

Have you looked into the multirom manager thread in the Android development section. Perhaps you should set that up if you haven't. It allows you to flash multiple roms and be able to select which one you want to load when you restart your phone. Granted you would lose you setup for cm12 but you can always set it up one more time. It would also allow to you flash roms and see what works for you and doesn't without losing anything. I currently run BarRin as my primary with 7 different roms for secondary roms. So when I Reboot my phone I have 8 different roms to select from without having to flash anything.

I've heard of multirom before, but it was forever ago and to be honest, didn't know that was actually what it did. Way I had understood it was that it just allowed you to easily install ROMs, not that it allowed you to boot into whichever one you wanted at boot up. That actually does sound kind of interesting. Might just check that out in a bit. Thanks for the link! =D

No problem!! Just follow the directions in that thread and you will be up and running in no time.
work," gsm" on it
This might be a dumb question. But is Wi-Fi calling available in this ROM? I don't think it is but in hoping to be wrong.

Every time I try to open my fiancés contact information in contacts, contacts stops...
I saw another guy having the same issue as I... Only some contacts cause contacts to stop when you click on them... Is there a fix for this?
If it were any other contact I could care less... But its my fiancé...

Just a few comments here. I can relate to your frustration with these Q&A threads in that they are often full of questions and no answers. At least you got some good information in response to yours. I've seen threads with pages of questions and no replies. The devs, who would know best, almost never respond to these. Tesla, engine, and randompooka are the exceptions.
With regard to your final paragraph, I don't think your point about some people's reliance on their cell phones has merit. At best, these builds are works in progress. I thought it was understood that you put up with bugs in exchange for software advancements you can't get from your carrier. If I relied on my phone for my livelihood, I wouldn't root and flash custom roms, at least not until they were stable builds way down the road. I'd stay stock for now if I depended on them.
Personally, I'm thrilled with what we have after only a few months with a workaround bootloader. IMO, the exchange of custom roms for some unreliable features is a big win for me.
