I will drop this link here for users still with this device. We have lost a LOT of data on our AFH account and this device was one of them. Instead of closing the thread I wanted to link some of my test builds until I can get the latest confirmed working build to share with new/old users.

STABLE
This rom seems to be stable and battery on this seems to be excellent. good work @gimmeitorilltell :good:

---

Sweet ROM!!!
Sent from my SM-T310 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

---

is it necesary to flash supersu in recovery like some of the other lollipop roms?
edit: looks like the answer is no.

---

I finally got my daily driver
This ROM is so stable. Calls work, music plays, camera works, zero reboots, great battery life, mobile data works, mobile hotspot works, etc. Thanks Tony for working on this! I have not had any issues yet after nearly 5 hours of continuous usage.

---

This rom is going strong. I haven't had any major issues yet. Memory usage seems to be a little weird (if i am listening to music and doing other things the music player just stops playing). the AudioFX app has crashed a few times as well out of the blue. Thats about it. It seems VERY stable so far nice work!

Flash Gapps from here and you will have the playstore.

---

I did but..
I flashed gapps from that link para playstore doesn't appear, just show play music, google+, play movies, play games. Please help

---

No Play Store
I have the same issue here; no Play Store. I have tried the suggested Gapps as well as the full package from the Slim build.
Getting "Get Google Play Services" message when trying to use google apps.
I have tried installing the Play Store APK manually. I get a message saying "can't open file". Yes, unknown sources option is enabled.
Otherwise, superb ROM! Thank you!!

Did you guys follow the install instructions? I flashed the rom and booted up. Then went back to recovery and flashed the Banks gapps in the OP and rebooted....and I had Playstore with NP.

Not really. At least on my Gnote it absolutely will not install Google Play Service or Google Play Store, nor will it let me set up my account through the GMail app. I can set up other email pop3 or imap addresses but not gmail addresses. I've tried several different GAPPS packages, I've signed into the play store from the web browser to try to install stuff (e.g., Play Services and Play Store), I've found online and downloaded APK's for Play Services and Play Store; nothing works. Sometimes it says it works, for instance if I install from the Web based play store, when in actuality, it hasn't. Other efforts will explicitly fail like trying to install the APK's; and yes, I have unknown sources ticked as well as installed Mr. G's TWRP 2.8.3.0. I give up. None of these Lollipop ports work on the i717; at least not on mine. All of them are deficient in different but important ways. No sound on SlimLP, not even a ringer. CM12 Unofficial has no ringer and very buggy browsing with all browsers (Chrome, Chrome Beta, Dolphin). Finally, Candy5 is orphaned in a different universe from the Android ecosystem. It's knocking on the door but no one is answering. I'm worn out

I'm not sure what is going on with gapps and/or the playstore but I myself have had the same issue. I finally installed some gapps that another user mentioned & had the playstore! Now I only use those gapps until I can figure out the reason or a solution. HERE is what some use "Download GApps Minimal Edition 2015-02-22 GPS 434 [240 DPI, armeabi-v7a CPU] (30 MB)" and the LINK_IS_HERE! I'm not sure if you've tried these gapps or not?

Actually, that was the second one I tried and it didn't work for Candy5. It worked for SlimLP though. Some one tried a PA Gapps package and it apparently worked. I'm going to try that next and see what happens.
