The main reason I don't use CyanogenMod (which has all these features), is that it's highly unstable. And last time I updated it my phone just went crazy...
Thanks in advanced

That's bull****. CM12.1 is running fine. Must be something on your side.
I had issues with cm 12.1 as well after I installed it, first big thing was I had a discolored screen, and no matter how much I adjusted it it always had a blue hue, also trebuchet kept crashing on me

Hello,
I am not allowed to post in the developers thread and advised to ask here.
I have used Xylon-Rom before, did today a clear installation (factory reset, cleared all caches + data) and have some issues with the actual b2-build:
-white statusbar -> when trying to change it, xylon settings crash.
-Xylon PIE -> can't get it to work. When enableing it, nothing happend.
-Customizsation of Notification light -> where are the settings for it?
Thanks if someome can give me some advises.
Regards
Robsterboy
Hey there man, the white status bar is a known issue in the latest stable and sadly there is no simple fix for it, I'd advise just waiting for the new release which is bound to be any day now.
Once you've enabled pie did you switch to expanded desktop mode? It can be difficult to get pie to appear with the navbar still there.
Edit: the led settings are at settings->XY tools->and then LED at the bottom

I read so many complaints and issues with this ROM.
I just got my Nexus 4 last week. I rooted it right away, and installed Xylon 02-23 build, with Matrix kernel v7.0
I have zero issues at all. No problems, not one reboot in a week, no FC. No status bar problems. Maybe I got lucky, but everything just works as expected.
Battery life, with this kernel has been great. On average heavy use workdays 12 - 15 hours total usage, with constantly getting 5h On Screen time each day. On weekends with WiFi getting a full day easily.

Some of the issues are hard to spot cause you don't realize they're issues, ROMS like Slimbean and Paranoid Android are rock solid, some of the issues I encountered last I used Xylon were a memory leak (RAM would get used up and wasn't coming back at a certain point, either that or the recents RAM wasn't reporting properly), Mixcloud wasn't streaming music with the browser, PIE implementation is buggy and is invisible at times (same as Carbon and Rootbox) etc worst is the dev is a ghost in his thread
Thanks Sliming,
LED now works fine
Okay. Now have to wait until new Beta will be released.

Last weekend for the second time flashed Quarx's CM 10.2 Nightly from CM 10-2ndboot. Here's my report:
1) Experienced the "unfortunately android keyboard has stopped" problem after updating. Didn't know how to solve it, so I had to flash SBF and still had this issue. After numerous times of reflashing finally got this problem gone. So I guess it's my flashing problem (?).
2) 720P Recording isn't working, although this is th default present for the camera app.
3) I wonder if anyone else noticed it: texts in the SMS app is thincker yet blur tha the previous roms (CM10 or earlier). Actually it's hard to read.
4) Also, the touch buttons' lightness is no longer auto-adjusted - either 100% light or off. Don't know if this is a univeral Jelly Bean issue or only occurs for Defy.
5) Last but not least: how can I disable the animation effects while switching the home screens?
Except from the above, all other functions worked fine. But in the end I flashed back to my previous choice - the stable CM10-2nd boot builds due to all those small but iritating issues.
Maybe they will all be solved in KitKat?

1. Usually this is a wrong gapps issue.
2. 720p rec might not be working due to green lens Defy.
3. No, it looks the same.
4. Yes, i've noticed this too, but it's not a major issue.
5. I think there is an option in Trebuchet settings/use a different launcher.

1) You need to install the correct gapps from TJKV (unfortunately i can't post links)
2) It's working for me (Defy+).
3) It's perfect in my Defy+, not blurry.
4) It's true, nothing to say.
5) Go to Settings>Developers option>Drawing and turn Animation off in this itens: Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration sacel.
So i finally gave cm 12.1 a chance because it's been rolling for a while now... and i was actually pretty impressed. The one issue i couldn't deal with is the bluetooth audio playback in my car. Basically it was playing too fast, then pausing every 10-20 seconds and then continuing to play too fast again (also at a slightly higher pitch). I was able to temporarily fix the problem by turning bluetooth off and on but it came back. other than this i didn't see many issues and thought it was pretty good, but for no i'm going to go back to stock until this issue is fixed, i did find that it was already reported to the cyanogenmod team and they are already working on a fix so i'm waiting impatiently until it's fixed and i'll probably be moving from stock kitkat as my main rom to cm 12.1. How has everyone elses experience been with cm 12.1 nightlies so far?
What doesn't work. (if i missed something here post so i can update)
- saving 4k video (1080p works tho)
Battery life ?
- used to be terrible but it's almost as good as stock now but with better performance.
hey
i would like to use CM as i was doing that on my Moto G. the questions I have to users of the newest CM version:
- does quickcircle, google text-to-speech, intelligent screen (LG app) features work?
- what is the quality of videos and pictures taken by the phone running CM opposite to android v20i?
thank you.

1. Quickcircle won't work. To make it work again you have to install a special app. Google text-to-speech works ok for me (I haven't test it too much). LG features/apps won't work
2.For me the quality of pics and videos are the worst I have ever seen!!!! (Much better in the stock LG)
My experience with CM12.1 was average. I was waiting for something better. Camera is awful in the Custom roms. Battery life wasn't the best. In terms of performance the cm12.1 is better than the stock lg.
i've only been running cm 12.1 for a few days now so i don't have alot of substantive input, i did find a fix for the bad bluetooth car audio using a macro/tasker app but i think they have fixed it in the nightly released today, i'm downloading it now it says bluetooth stream parameters in the patch notes so i wont bother sharing my fix until i try this nightly to see if they already fixed it. i'll give a better review of whats working and the camera/video quality after i have a chance to play around with it more.
by the way anything running ART instead of DALVIK cache/runtime is going to perform better but it's at the price of xposed modules and such, i'm not expert on it but i know they switched to ART cache/runtime to be more competitive with the iphone. On Kitkat and lower an android device needs better hardware to output the same performance as an iphone with lesser hardware. ART should fix that problem. If you are curious google ART vs DALVIK
*edit* yeah bluetooth is fixed with the newest nightly update... atleast for my car which is a mazda 3. (yay)
Avrage camera and bugs like video not saving after recording is main culpit to not use CM 12.1. Otherwise it is good as clean android can be.

Videos do save. It is a issue with 4K video ONLY. Switch to 1080p video and videos save just fine.

I found that myselfe, tnx. But I believe that issue is fixed already. Maybe Im wrong, but I did see in changelog or other forum. Maybe someone can test it?
I switched to stock kitkat, I love CM, been running CM since it was 10.1, the problem is that it starts really really fast and after a while CM 12.1 becomes laggy it drives me crazy, other than that is the camera quality which doesn't bothers me as the performance issue,
I guess we'll need to wait for LG to release the G3 source file but who know's when that's gonna happend
good news the latest daily added some balancing between power and battery life. I went from losing a huge chunk of my battery during work when my phone is in my pocket to going 9.5 hours at work and coming home with 94% battery. (that is alot of standby but i use my phone at lunch and have bluetooth running for about 50 minutes of driving). Basically it got alot better, i'm not sure what they did but i did notice that there is a balanced setting in battery screen that i didn't notice before. Anyways I think those who were concerned about battery drain my have had their wishes answered over the last few nightlies.

Knock on works but knock code doesn't, which is quite normal considered it's an LG feature.

Partly working. You can turn screen on by clicking anywhere, and turn it off by knocking at notification bar.
Phone encryption not working?
I've just flashed the 20150603 CM12.1 and I cannot seem to get the phone encrypted. On the reboot to start the encryption, the phone gets stuck in the CM boot animation and the encryption process never starts. Any ideas or suggestions? Many thanks in advance.
I'm on 06/05 nigthly. When I plug the phone in my computer, it's not being recognized. If I change from MTP to PTP, then it works.
I've tried going to Device Manager, and could see that my phone is being recognized as a Nexus device. I tried installing latest drivers from Google's website, but I got a message saying that I'm already on the latest version. So that didn't do anything. I've tried uninstalling that "nexus" driver and rebooting my PC, but it somehow came back when I plugged my phone in. Trying to update gave me the same message.
If I run "adb devices", I can see that there's no devices (it's enabled in developer settings). If I enable ADB over WiFi and try to connect -- it works, and I can do whatever I want. But only over WiFi and not via USB.
Tried different cable and different port as well.
Hello there.
I'm proud new user of Nexus 6p but I already have a problem. I updated it to 7.1.1 and rooted the device. Now chrome constantly crashes (Aw snap problem) and also facebook sometimes show strange image.
Screenshots attached.
Anybody else have this problem?
i love my 6p and am also a proud owner of this beast.
but i also have troubles with my display, it is abit similar to yours, i have occasional graphical glitches and it always freaks the hell outta me.
i hate those glitches , i had a split screen bug on my Moto Nexus 6 as well and using a specific custom kernel called Lean kernel always solved that problem for me.
but currently nothing fixes this on my nexus 6p , except the 6p of mine thankfully does not have that split screen bug but instead it has some other occasional hiccups with graphic glitches.
and i think it is because of the cold temperatures, but i am not so sure.
Cold temperatures can't be a problem with mine couse i work inside so there is no cold
I tried with elementalX kernel and the problem is still here.
chrome gives me the most graphical glitches , but it does not happen often.
it can still get annoying , and i also have a keyboard issue with chrome (been months now) the keyboard issue is, i cant delete characters i have enetered in the search fields of whatever website i am at.
like when i press backspace to wanting to delete words it just wont do it, annoying bug with chrome i am sure of it, as i have tried other browsers and they dont do that with the keyboard backspace not deleting characters.
maybe we should both switch browsers, but the thing is i always go back to chrome :l
hope your issue gets solved too, maybe try a custom based nougat rom and you wont see that issue with chrome anymore (as for the fb app, it is a battery killer i would advice to just use the chrome app to open up your fb account).
Tried with firefox but the problem is still there.
Will try and get myself different rom for weekend and test it.
So you say that facebook is battery killer. Thanks for the info.
Update:
Installed Pure nexus rom - problem still there
Installed CM 14.1 - problem still there
I have no idea what is cousing this problem. Is it possible that the problem is hardware related and not software?

Navigate to Settings/Developer Options/Webview Implementation then switch to "Chrome." See if you still notice these issues.

Nope I think your display driver is glitching
I'm taking it back to the store today and they will replace it with the new one they said. Hope i'll have more luck this time
Hello,
as the object I would like an advice on the choice ROM for my G900F, no matter what version Andoid is, the important thing is that it is fluid, stable, light and low battery consumption.
Currently I have the latest stock firmware with root and TWRP.
I saw this ROM, what do you think? https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2741302
Thank you all for the support,

You may want to try out AEX Pie, currently have it installed on my G900F, battery life is fine. Everything's working apart from the occasional WiFi (just unlock screen for it to turn back on automatically) or Bluetooth cutout (which is fixed by turning BT on and off). Barely happens, I'd give it a go if I were you.
Otherwise LOS 16.0 would be a good choice as well.
Camera's working 100% on both ROMs though I'd recommend the A2 camera (thread here on XDA) as it is nicer to use and the quality is slightly better.
