I don't know how helpful I can be, but I just want to write down some things I found noteworthy about the CM12.1 ROM that you uploaded to androidfilehost:
When you open up the settings app and then tap on 'apps', the settings app immediately crashes, returning with the message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". Investigating further into this, when I go to 'Storage' in the settings app, and then tap on 'Apps' from there, it actually works. However, when I then go to the left to reveal 'on sd card', the settings app crashes again.
I also tried to force the phone into playing music through the earpiece. To my surprise, the earpiece actually worked. This leads me to think that the no in-call audio issue is actually related to the phone application.
You might already be aware of the things I mentioned above, but I thought I'd write them down here anyway in case you didn't.
I hope you are able to completely fix up the ROM, so everyone can enjoy using CM12.1 on the Galaxy J5.

This uploaded ROM you flashed, is incomplete and old. All bugs are fixed since then. Only those I mention here exist.
His observation of being able playing music through the earpiece is interesting...maybe not an elegant solution, try different Phone apks from other devices? I mean, it's noobish, but can't think of anything else. I wish I knew about Android development, but I don't
Oh, one more thing, does the USB OTG work on CM 12.1 currently? That involves USB flashdrives, as well as USB joypads? (they do work on stock, I've tested)

I decided to make a thread for kaos that gives a more complete set of incomplete/broken things so he doesn't half to. I will try to keep this up to date as possible and if you see something that has been fixed that i have listed as broken please post and I will correct it. I will try to do as many detailed things as possible for now and as things are fixed I will remove them and if a fix is required to be applied manually will try to include it also. Keep in mind this is an unofficial thread and I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone. Now to the list (PS if this is an inappropriate posting area feel free to move it)
Data: FIXED entirely update to latest build
Wifi: FIXED update to latest build.
Bluetooth: Somewhat working, will pair but won't connect.
Browser: UPDATE: fixed, still crashes on flash and javascript some though according to people in irc.
USB notification: no usb mount notification not sure if USB mass storage will work or not but adb still works so a work around is using the commands adb push and adb pull (google on how to use these commands if you dont know already)
Vibrate notifications: vibrate works on the stock messaging app fine but I can't get it working on go sms. Workaround would be just use the stock notifications.
Quadrant: quadrant doesnt work for me gets stuck at database writes, not a big deal no known fix though
Sensors: FIXED update to latest build
Headphone jack: Headphone jack is now fixed somewhat. Still buggy to a degree some headphones won't work (it seems to only work for headphones that have a mic built in for me but it could be just hit and miss with all headphones).
Haptic feedback: haptic feedback in general doesn't work. No known fix
Camera: Currently not working. No known fix.
Cyanogen Settings has some things that make the phone freeze, DO NOT ENABLE JIT its not working yet.
Recovery: Currently broken for me and some other people. Not sure if its working for others (kaos's works and has been apparently.) JT said it shouldn't be a hard fix for him in the future (likely next release?) Use odin to get back to stock and restore your backup from before you had CM installed if you made one if you want. (report any problems in thread please) UPDATE: Greyone and Kaos informed me that recovery works if you go to recovery mode and select advanced > reboot recovery (thanks!)
Wireless tethering:Works if you use the Wireless tether app! fix found by ae55. Might work with other wireless tether applications but it WILL NOT work with the wireless tether in the settings menu.
USB tethering: Not working for me (try it and post if it works for you, its in settings, wireless and networks) more than likely a 3rd party app like easy tether would fix this as long as your 3g is working
MMS: MMS also does not currently work. A workaround is to simply get the message sent to your email for receiving but it seems that the sending of gmail messages isnt working atm i just did a test message to my number and it is sitting in my outbox. Been there for a good bit so its more than likely not sending it. A 3rd party application could fix this possibly? Update: Message finally went through it took a solid 15-20min though so I wouldn't rely on it myself. Again, 3rd party app would prob be your best bet around this. IT DOES NOTIFY YOU IF YOU RECEIVE AN MMS JUST WONT DOWNLOAD IT!
ADW launcher app drawer: not really a bug just many users have looked for this and cant find it, its pretty simple to fix just longpress on the homescreen and tap custom shortcuts then the adw launcher things then app drawer. Hope this clears some things up.
YOUTUBE: seems as though the youtube application isnt playing videos, I dont have good enough service to test it but I will take everyone in the threads word for it. Other video playback apps seem to be having trouble too.
Pandora: Currently my pandora isnt working, could just be me but i think its a problem with the 3g still.
Thats all that I can find for now that isn't working but its likely I missed something, I more than stress to keep in mind Kaosinate is still a VERY alpha build. Its about a 50-50 split between things working and things not working for now but it is coming along thanks to Kaos' work on it and I invite everyone to follow him on twitter and join IRC for the MOST up to date information about this ROM.
Edit: Nevermind. Haven't checked his tweets (well, his reply tweets). Good write up.

The latest Swype beta works wonderfully in Kaosinate v2.
There is an extra step you have to perform to get it working.
Download and install the swype installer from your beta.swype.com page. Install swype. It will force close when trying to configure swype after the install or generate a license.
Delete the libSwype.co from system/lib/. Then reinstall swype and voila! You will have a fully working, fully up to date, swype keyboard.
--I'll post this in the kaosinate thread too to make sure everyone knows it works. I was dying w/o it.
Edit: just realized someone already posted this in the kaosinate thread so i'll just leave it at this post.

Sorry if this thread already exists.
You have no idea how happy I am this ROM exists!! But I cannot get SMS working. I get FC's on every SMS app I try including Hangouts. Anybody else getting this and/or have a remedy? Thanks
I was about to post the same error here, I have an Amaze with Videotron, S-Off, Super CID, HBOOT-1.93.2222 (JuopunutBear), TWRP as a recovery.
I tried everything, I tried different Gapps, I also tried without installing Gapps, I tried sms apps from the Play Store and Hangouts too. The only thing I haven't tried is formatting my internal SD card. (it was a clean install, all formatted and cache cleared). I also tried switching to ART but I had the same problems.
Everytime I try to just open the sms apps, the app crashes. I managed to see the error once and it was something about SQL but it might be a misinterpretation from my part.
Calls, 4G and WiFi were all working perfectly too.
After some research on Google, I tried installing busybox, xposed framework and uninstalling Voice+, but nothing works. The basic messaging app just closes without any kind of message and other apps show that it stopped working.
(I tried the Evervolv rom 4.4 and SMS were working on that one, maybe it's a setting with my network type as I am on Videotron in Canada and it is using AWS, maybe a setting under *#*#4636*#*# ??)
I want to contribute and sen some log of that error, how can I do that? I am familiar with roms, kernels, etc but not that much with logs... I tried many roms before and never got that specific problem...
Thanks to anyone who can help with this issue!
It's not just you SMS simply doesn't work on this rom and I was surprised to see that no one else pointed this out in the original thread. The default Messaging app closes immediately when you try and open it. Other SMS apps also crash either immediately upon opening them, or when you try to send a message (hangouts & SMS Pro for example). This is the only thing keeping me from using this amazing rom as my DD.
I have the same exact problem with SMS- will try the evervolv 4.4 though was really looking forward to CM11
Edit: also didnt have any other problems with the rom except for the black boxes and the camera
Let's hope there is a way to fix it!
I would post the question in the official thread but I do not have enough posts to do so unfortunately
Heck I couldn't even try SMS due to the black box issue, that's why I didn't mention it in the original thread.
For those with the black box issue--are you using the correct gapps?
In olden days there were some issues with some google things not working, and people uninstalling the ones that came in gapps and downloading them fresh from the play store.
Have you gone into recovery and fixed permissions?
Again, in days of yore, this might straighten some things out.
Is it possible that black-boxing has something to do with CPU frequency, and is it possible to tweak up the speed through developer options and lose the boxes?
I haven't tried this rom yet, as I'm currently sticking with the stable(r) cm10.
Good luck.
anybody get the SMS working on this ROM so far?

The black box issue has nothing to do with GPU or CPU speeds. There are discussions on the dev threads. The issue affects other legacy devices on various KK based source builds, not just Amaze and CM. The consensus is this seems to be related to the default browser which has changed in KK. This would also explain why it effects other gapps too.

Media Issues
The ROM is pretty good for the most part.
I just have this problem where Play Music gives this error, "Cannot play the music track you requested"
I clear my media storage and try to rescan my SD card but none of the apps work. They all crash.
Is there anyway to fix this?

as the OP says and i quote that only non working things are
1. camera exposure
2. tethering
but as the thread goes ahead we read more prolems/bugs
May i ask what is the current status for bugs/not working and other issues and what has been fixed and any other stuff we should flash over the ROM like driver, may it be upoaded to the OP for ease as its reall hard to search for those things on mobile app. thank you and good luck.
Anyone else have issue disabling their microphone while in a call? I tried with both the speaker phone and regular handset mode, the "no mic" icon enables but my caller can still hear me. The Hold button seems to work fine though.
FYI, it took a while for the battery to figure itself out. I wiped the battery stats before flashing everything and the first few days I got a lot of jumping battery levels. I let it charge all the way down as much as I could then rebooted and did a full charge and rebooted again and then full charge again. That seemed to reset the battery level to the correct state.
I also , enabled Device/GPS only for the location detection other wise the google services at 50% or more battery.
I'm running the 2014-02-16 build, with the updated video drivers.

Since PAC uses the CM device tree for its source any issues with CM will also be evident in PAC. Until the CM devs are able to resolve the camera exposure issue it will exist in both ROMs.

Think about your question for a minute. Have you seen any recent posts in the CM dev thread indicating an update which solves this issue? If you had just taken a moment to look at the dev thread instead of posting this you would have answered your own question. It's not like the CM-11 thread is incredibly long, it's only 28 pages total. This post is just laziness on your part and an unnecessary waste of bandwidth.
is there any alternate app in the market, i tried couple of apps but nothing useful

Hi,
This is my first time specifically posting a question as a Q&A style thread so I hope I'm doing this right.
I have been using the Redmi Note 2 for about a month now. Overall, it's been a great phone (especially considering the price). However, I've been experiencing a couple of issues and I am hoping that some of you may be able to help.
I have rooted the phone but have not installed a ROM/kernel.
I have been using Wakelock Detector to track my battery life. Of most significance is com.baidu.map.location (NetworkLocation). I have attached the two screenshots showing the frequency of how often it wakes up my device. I tried to greenify it but it wouldn't allow me - it says "Sorry, "NetworkLocation" is ingreenifiable". Does anyone have any idea for me?
I have also been trying to use Amplify as another means to try and improve battery life. As mentioned, my phone is rooted, and the app prompted me to install the Xposed app which I did. However, after installing the app, it wants me to install the framework but it does not allow me to. I have attached the screenshot of this too.
Nova Launcher - Sometimes when I open the app drawer, the resolution of the app launcher appears funny. To fix it, I normally just press back and go back into the app drawer and it goes back to normal. I have attached a screenshot of what this roughly looks like. This is not a big deal but can be a little annoying. Has anyone experienced this?
SD Maid - I used to use this app on my old Galaxy S3 i9305 to clear out storage space taken up by unnecessary stuff. This app no longer works on this phone. I have attached a screenshot of the issue that I am having.
I have downloaded Auto Call Recorder from the app store with the intention of having it automatically record my phone conversations. It does not work but I am unable to figure out why. I have checked the settings and I cannot identify any obvious setting that is incorrectly configured.
Flynx - I have been trying to use Flynx as it appears to be an incredibly useful app, but it seems something is not working correctly. In the screenshot that I have attached, where it says "Tap on the bubble to open it!" I am assuming there is a bubble that is supposed to appear for me to tap, but it does not appear.
APUS Launcher/Clean Master - finally and maybe most worryingly, I sometimes get 2 or 3 apps "pushed" to my device prompting me to install it. I can only remember 2 at the moment; APUS Launcher and Clean Master. Fortunately, I am asked to give the app permission for installation but it worries me because it has occurred a few times and I did not download it at all. I do not have a screenshot of this at the moment, but I will do it next time it occurs.
I have been told that my provider (Vaya in Australia) sends out a SMS for "automatic update" purposes. I only spotted this because I have noticed that I was charged for 2 separate international SMS on 2 occasions when I did not send them (to a UK number, +44 7786209730). I am not sure whether this one is a phone problem or something else.
I appreciate any of your assistance in advance and I am sorry if I have not provided enough information. I am also not sure as to which issues may simply be app problems as opposed to a problem with MIUI software or Xiaomi.
Hope I will be able to get some assistance!

Does the crash happen when the dialog opens, or when you click the orange entry?
Try giving your sdcard a name, possibly doing it from a desktop computer.
Hi, the crash happens when I click on "Overview" then click on "To start press [refresh icon]" and then you just press there - what normally happens is it will give a overall summary of the phone.
However, I have just tried it again. When that error message comes up, instead of tapping on the listed entry (as is instructed), I press "Done" and it is able to give me a summary!
So for some reason it appears as though it doesn't work (at least from the error message), and I just press done and it still works.
Thanks for your reply nevertheless! Would not have figured that out had you not replied hahaha.
If you just press "done", SD Maid won't have access to your external sdcard.
Did you try installing the Xiaomi EU rom, since it's supposed to be cleaned from chinese apps (Like the baidu one).
Hi all,
Sorry it seems like I never came back to expand what I have done to try and fix these problems.
I ended up changing to Hermes ROM here http://www.smiui.net/redminote2_hermes.php
Most of the issues above are now solved, but there are some that are still present such as #2 and #5. So Amplify still doesn't work, but I think this is a hardware limitation and Auto Call Recorder still doesn't work. As for why Auto Call Recorder doesn't work, I don't know why, but I am not greatly bothered by it so I have not attempted to do anything to resolve that problem.
So I installed CM 13 and I notice this system app "CM Audio Service", but when I stop it and disabled it I did not notice any issues, the audio still working, so what does this service do?
Wondering the same.
we wait maybe someone reply and trow a little glipms of light on this
I'm here 3 years later still looking for this answer
just post the question to reddit.com/r/lineageOS, they should know.
without disabling it in settings/app music is more plesant/detailed/surrounded
So I have a different phone: note4 with RR android 7. I uninstalled the app completely and literally nothing happened. If anything my audio seems like it sounds cleaner. I wish I would have checked permissions... oh well...
Hello,
I'm writing because I've seen this issue since a longer time on my phone.
When I restart sometimes some random app is missing. Thing is when I restart again the app is back in the list and works fine.
I think some time ago I found others having similar issues somewhere hidden in other links on Google but I can't find them anymore for the same of this thread x_x
Normally people seem to have trouble with (all) apps on sd card disappearing after reboot. I don't use that feature; I install everything on internal memory and it is always some other app (random). And the app returns working normally after restart.
Note: the missing app I see missing normally through the system itself, as the app is not listed under apps. So nova launcher and others also do not display it.
Anyone seen this too?
I noticed that titanium backup restores the missing app fine and then the app works without a restart. Also I checked the directory /data/app and also found the apk of the missing app.
How does android get the available apps on boot and how would it forget some of them? And how to fix...?
I'm on android 4.4 (slimkat) on Samsung Galaxy Note 3 with leankernel.
Thanks!

Hi , did you tried to flash stock firmware with odin or SmartSwitch and see if the apps are missing again ?
Sorry, I was absent and did not receive a message for this thread.
Thank you for your reply!
Well, it is hard to see. I'm happy with this rom so I'm having a difficult time using other roms. I cannot recall having this on another rom I used before for a few months (bobcat rom, based on Kitkat Samsung stock).
It might be worth reinstalling the current rom for testing. Seeing everything up though takes its time though.
I was kinda hoping someone had that experience and pointed to something like some xposed module which I love. It is not easy to test because I mostly do not know/notice there is an app missing. Just sometimes my quick settings times with the apps show "error". Then I know something is wrong. So easily weeks pass by until I find this again...
