PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
This is BETA code. Some things do not work and you should assume there will be BUGS. I am not responsible if you brick your phone with this or any other firmware. You are your own warranty once you start loading firmware. Please do NOT post about anything that's in the "broken" list; I will ignore you if you do.
If it's not listed as working or broken below then that particular feature has likely not been tested at all.
Kernel: Mine, built from Motorola's released source. Includes Smartassv2 governor and ext2, ext3 and ext4 filesystems plus MSS clamping support.
Codebase and credits: Originally sync'd from Isaac's work, heavily modified at this point. Isaac deserves the credit for getting the base code to boot and getting me interested in hacking on it.
What's working
Pretty much everything, except what's listed below.
What's known BROKEN:
Hdmi non-functional
The is an interrupt storm if you enable both Wifi and Bluetooth at the same time. Don't.
Front camera does not mirror snapshots or video, but does on preview.
Occasional force-closes when switching cameras front-to-back.
What's Intermittent: Nothing.
Included Apps:
Essentially nothing. Load GAPPS for Google apps (yes, you want them) by flashing these AFTER you flash the ROM:
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-signed.zip - Base Google Apps
http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110828-newtalk-signed.zip - Google Talk (if you want it)
NOTE: You cannot provision on the CM7 ROM (the "Activate" apk, if you grab it from the Triumph, will not work - it appears to run, but does not function.) You must be provisioned using the stock ROM before you load this code. I am attempting to fix that, but am not confident it can be fixed as it appears to want things in the framework that I have no way to discover or duplicate.
To install:
1. MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP! I cannot emphasize this enough - and make sure you keep that backup somewhere SAFE. Most notably there is no way to activate the phone on CM7 at this time, and there may never be. If you need to change your phone number or similar you need to swap back to stock firmware. If you lose the ability to do that you will be pissed. Consider yourself warned.
2. Place the file in the below post on your SD card in the root.
3. Boot to clockwork by turning your phone off and then hold BOTH volume buttons while pressing POWER. Release power when the phone vibrates and continue to hold both volume rockers until Clockwork comes up.
4. Important: Clear the cache and data ("factory reset") If you fail to do this CM7 will blow up on boot unless you are coming from previous RECENT build. You've been warned! If you're coming from an OLD build (or stock) format /system as well.
5. Select the ZIP file from the SD card (about halfway down on the top screen of Clockwork to get to that menu, then the first entry and point at it.)
6. Commit the update.
7. If you formatted /system (and if you're coming from STOCK) flash GAPPS (below; the first is the standard GAPPS apps, the second is Google Talk) using the same procedure in #5 and #6.
On first boot it will take about 2 minutes before it comes up; if you have lots of apps it may take longer. Provided you see the little CM7 guy with the rotating arrow, it's working - be patient.

Expected to be fixed in the NEXT build -
Work continues on the list in the first post along with tracking bugs that have been posted to GitHub.
Change Log (tracking as of 9/5), reverse chronological order:
11/19:
Wifi tethering is now built into the code (from Isaac's work); untested other than the fact that it does come up and is believed working. No other changes. FINAL RELEASE.
11/06:
Haptic feedback on soft keyboard now works and is treated as any other "virtual key" off the screen. Kernel modified to multiply light sensor readings by 30; this "sorta" aligns them with actual lux values (not really, but I don't have a light box that can get me a closer integration formula) and makes possible the CM7 options for "jump" settings, hysteresis and such to work as designed. No other material changes against b.06.
10/30:
Screenshot from power menu fixed and Gingerbread default launcher restored.
10/29:
Cleanup release. 2.3.7 codebase merge with CM7 upstream completed. "99memory" file added - see the notes below for how to tune this if you want to. Significant change to power management was made in the kernel; if you have Wifi turned off the phone will enter deep sleep, but if it's loaded then the sleep state is held at one level higher to prevent Wifi lockups. Note that data, when active, is a major power pig, even if nothing appears to be using it. It looks like Sprint has some "keep alive" processing going on either at the network level or in the actual CDMA driver code (which we don't have) that plays hell with power consumption. In short, with a data connection up I can't get materially under 30ma when idle and it's either the carrier or the CDMA radio code doing it - either way, I have no way to change it as there's no source to the chipset code available. Juice Defender, assuming Wifi is off, does a amazingly excellent job in conjunction with this release in shutting down the data connection and "waking it" once every 15 minutes or so to check for new notifications. It makes a huge difference in power burn with the phone in your pocket. You decide if its worth losing "instant" data notifies. I noted the same battery behavior on stock (Froyo) when I first got this phone, so my best guess is that this is in the radio firmware itself. Last alpha release pulled.
10/26:
Wifi wakelock problem is fixed. PRL now comes out of the radio and proximity sensor has more changes made. Note that the prox sensor may "flash" if you put the phone to your head before the call connects (before the "vibrate" after you dial); it should stop as soon as the phone goes into the "active" state.
10/22:
CIFS support via kernel loadable (.ko); NOT loaded by default as its very large. You can enable this in the startup scripts if you want it. USB tethering fixed. Proximity sensor "blinking" fixed. Various other minor changes as well.
10/16:
Data drop detection/correct code added. Front camera options that were unsupported in the hardware (and which could cause lockups) removed. Memory management changes made to improve performance. Soft keypad now PWM controlled (change levels under the CM7 options if you don't like my defaults) and other cleanup. Note: This release was early as there's a problem with some of the dependencies in the GIT servers, and as such I could not do a clean "verify builds from zero" run. Note that front camera mirror mode is enabled for preview but is NOT on snapshots and taken videos; this is being investigated as the mirroring should be on but doesn't work when the actual picture is taken.
10/12:
GAPPS removed from base build, front camera fixes complete, rear camera will now video record in HD. Tunneling support now internal to the kernel (no longer requires a loadable) for VPN users. Previous versions REMOVED.
10/2:
Partial front camera support is now available. The camera functions properly in video calling software such as Skype. Note that the "hacked" Froyo-capable Skype does not work properly; the one in the market, however, does. Other video calling applications may work but have not been tested. The Camera application itself will display the preview on the front camera but it is flipped 180 degrees (top to bottom), attempting to switch to video mode force-closes and a snapshot attempt hangs. Don't do that, basically. These are on the list to be fixed but progress is slow due to the very hacksterish way I had to implement the camera (no thanks to Motorola on that with no source access.) Kernel has the smartassv2 governor available for those who wish it and the build tree was synced up from CM7 to incorporate their fixes and updates.
9/25
Bluetooth tethering and MSS clamping implemented. Bluetooth tether is native; the MSS clamping, if recognized by other tethering applications (e.g. wireless tether) will also function to get rid of the need to set the client's MTU.
9/21
GPS now functional
9/10 morning:
Compass/geomagnetic sensors now working properly
Lights code now honors CM7's customization screens
9/5 morning build:
Market problems with apps not showing up repaired.

Filing a new bug will require that you set up a login ID on Github if you don't have one. Please note that bugs reported in this thread (as opposed to discussion, which is always welcome) may or may not be noticed and tracked; if you care about whatever you're reporting, please use the GITHub system. Bugs filed on Github must include steps to re-create the problem if you're able to do so and if you can obtain one, a logcat or other trace is very helpful. You can also look at the above link to see what issues are open (please do not duplicate already-reported bugs, although if you have comments on them adding them is fine) as well as what has bene closed which may be of interest if you're looking for what is likely to show up in the next code turn.
Notes
Do NOT tamper with the following lines in build.prop:
ro.telephony.ril_nid=97
ro.telephony.ril_prl=1115
ro.telephony.ril_class=Triumph
ro.ril.def.preferred.network=4
ro.telephony.default_network=4
rild.libpath=/system/lib/libril-qc-1.so
rild.libargs=-d /dev/smd0
If you do there is a high probability that the radio will break. In particular the ril_class is required to deal with the oddities in the Qualcomm radio code. If you are running a different PRL you can change the prl line but it should remain present.
If you are updating from previous releases and have problems format the /system partition before you load the update. You should not need to format the data partition ("factory reset") and reload your applications, but no promises can be made at this point in development.
Custom backlight options (Settings->Cyanogen Mod->Display->Automatic Backlight) are available; you can change the behavior of the LCD backlight, including thresholds and illumination settings, the number of steps, whether averaging is used, whether hysteresis is operational and whether the button backlight is on or off as desired. Please note that unlike many devices the sensor value returned to the code is not in "lux"; it is a raw value and tops out in full sunlight somewhere under 100, with "0" being a fairly dim (but not dark) room. The default table I have loaded has the button backlight OFF for very dim ambient conditions (I like to use the phone as an alarm clock and want the buttons off at night), ON for low-but-present ambient conditions, and then OFF again (power saving) for ambient light high enough that the backlight has no real purpose. You may change this to suit yourself and your desires; some people will want the buttons on for zero-ambient conditions.
Note: As of 9/24 this load is using the "ext4" filesystem. Alternative kernels must support both that filesystem and the options CONFIG_NETFILTER_XT_TARGET_TCPMSS and CONFIG_IP_NF_MANGLE. If they do not MSS clamping will not function. If ext4 is not supported the kernel will not boot.
3g/1x data lock
If you are in a place that often switches down to 1xRTT for data due to questionable signal levels it is possible to lock the RIL to 3g mode. Note that doing so means you either get 3g speed or nothing. You need to access the "Phone Info" menu to do this using either AnyCut (from the market) or from the "Battery Monitor" Widget (go to "Tests" in the selected screen from there.) Note, however, that doing so (1) will not survive a reboot and (2) disables SMS/MMS and inbound phone calls during the time it is active. SMS/MMS will come through if you make a phone call but the EVDO-only mode for data blocks something in the radio that is required to receive and send SMS messages and the notifications of an inbound call. Since this "mode change" is actually a request to the radio ROM (which we do not have source for) this probably can't be worked around. However, I am looking into what this mode select does in the hope of being able to detect the 1x switch (which I can easily do with the existing RIL support code) and temporarily force a 3g switchback - which may or may not be highly-disruptive to data transport (if it is it's not worth doing at all, but if not...)
Note: There is an apparent memory leak in the base CM7 code somewhere. This is the cause of sensor slowdown (e.g. rotation is not immediately recognized) as the system becomes memory-constrained and ultimately will fault and reboot. I do not have isolation of this problem as of yet and have no reasonable expectation on when or if I may; for the time being I recommend a reboot on a daily basis to avoid the worst of these effects. The impact becomes particularly-severe if you use things like CoPilot that require large working sets of RAM. My instrumentation leads me to believe the problem is not in the kernel nor in the user application side of the system, but rather is in the base CM7 load. Investigation continues.
A note on overclocked kernels:
I will not be supporting these in my builds. They work, and some people want them. Isaac has built one that can (theoretically) go to 1.9Ghz.
Here's the issue in a nutshell: It's pretty easy to exceed thermal limits in a CPU doing this, and if you do, the best thing that happens is that the device becomes unstable and reboots. The worst thing that can happen is that the internal junctions in the CPU can be damaged or even destroyed. This damage is not always immediately apparent and can in fact be cumulative.
I understand some people want to overclock, but nobody really knows where "the wall" in this regard, and if you find it you're going to be very unhappy. As such if you want to have fun of this sort you'll need to load your own overclocked kernel over what I build. I respect those who are willing to take the risk but I just don't see the potential reward as being worthwhile and I don't want to be the guy that hands you a build that smokes the CPU in your phone.
Sweet man, keep up the good work! CM7 is gonna be great on the triumph.
Market fix in the latest build - please update.
Just flashed the updated ROM and so far so good. As long as the calls come through then I can wait for a full port. Thanks for your hard work =)
And on a side note, it seems like I'm getting better reception after I flashed this. (-85dBm vs ~ -95dBm to -105dBm)
The two big problems are the GPS and MMS. The MMS is a matter of hacking and time (Virgin's MMS is... odd...), the GPS is pissing me off. Again a lack of documentation strikes; it appears there's a versioning problem with the RPC stuff and the chipset and driver in question do not expose the NMEA port (which sucks.)
Awesome work!
Here is a random question. Does that lock/unlock flickering issue go away with this? What about the sometimes unresponsive back capacitive key?
Sent from my MOTWX435KT using XDA App
The auto-brightness code was completely re-implemented (by me); it's DIFFERENT in its behavior, but I like how it behaves.
I haven't had a back key problem with either this rom or the original....
HDMI bug report
I'm just trying to help out. HDMI out does not seem to be working just wanted to report this minor bug. Overall I'm loving this rom. Great job.
Great work Genesis!

Anyone experiencing issues with data?
Seems like my data is intermittent and goes in and out randomly. I still see the 3G icon (and the signal status) but it goes white (no Google services) and I have no data access.
Yeah I've been losing data. Easiest fix is to turn on airplane mode on the off. Should come back on.
I've also noticed that email 2.3 keeps force closing. Got around this buy restoring email 2.2 with titanium backup.
stock video player bug
When playing videos with the stock video player the video comes out slightly glitchy. The same thing happens with YouTube videos.
I have not noticed the problem when watching flash videos or using arc media video player (have not had a chance to test others)
Love the ability to use the different themes with theme Chooser.
Agai appreciate all the hard work. Can't wait for a custom kernel
my review
ok i would like to start this off by saying that i love you for all the work you have done, you and Isaac. this is not asking you to fix anything this is just my first impressions after using this rom for two days.
*market: i believe this was already addressed in the original post of this rom. i updated market to the newest version and ever sense it has been force closing at random times. it still works to download things and browse but it will randomly force close.
*battery life has greatly decreased since i flashed cm7. even with juice defender pro it was still a much shorter life span.
*screen auto brightness: this has already been addressed i know but i am trying to do a very in depth review. it takes a while after i turn the screen on for it to brighten up enough to be clearly visible. another thing i just recently noticed was that while i was in a call and holding the phone up to my ear, the screen would repeatedly turn on and off. i believe this may have been the way i was holding the phone but it happened more than once so this is why i thought to address it.
*head set volume dropping issue. i have addressed this in a previous thread as a fix. i was hoping this would be fixed in cm7 but it must be a deep hardware issue. what happens is, when you are listening to music through the headset port and a text comes in, the phone will ring and then the music will come back on but at a significantly lower volume. the only way i have found to bring the volume back up is to make a call and then play your music again.
*music and calling: i have noticed that if you answer a call and have music playing, when you hang up the music will stay paused. i dont know if this can be fixed but i thought i would just throw it out there.
*wifi will work untill the screen goes off. the phone will not rewake and you will have to do a batt pull.
*swype fails hard. with froyo swype worked just fine but now it has very bad lag and doesnt even register when im swyiping sometimes. this is not that big of an issue because i use swype as personal preference.
*wifi wireless teather for root users. this works now! only with google web pages -_-
*mms: wont work at all. just a heads up though you can go to message settings and switch it to split messages so you can send longer messages.
as of now this is all i have but i will update this if i come up with more. as i said before i am not trying to nag you at all i just want to get my views out there and hopefully help with feature development of cm7 for the triumph.
keep up the great work guys! i cant thank you enough.
1. Market - if you loaded over the first load, you need to format /system before you do that. You've got pieces of old things laying around.
2. Battery - it's wrong (charge state) until you fully cycle it. I'm getting battery life roughly equal to the stock load (and I am off-charge a LOT)
3. Auto-brightness - This will be adjustable in the next load - the issue is that the phone turns in with the screen in the "dimmed" state and there's a smoothing period before it reacts. You can set that with the next load to make it behave however you'd like (defaults are close to, but not identical to, how it behaves now.)
4. Headset. I think this is a hardware problem.
5. Music and calling: This is a common issue with Android; when the output and input sources get reassigned the current stream is interrupted. Same thing happens if you're on speakers and plug in a headset. I doubt it's fixable (I know why it happens, but preventing the switching task from throwing the exception upstream could have extremely bad results - I'll look at it at a later date, but this is common to a LOT of Android devices.)
6. Wifi is a documented issue.
7. Swype works fine. Download the CURRENT beta. If you're using a hacked version, all bets are off. I use Swype exclusively for my keyboard on this ROM. Ditto if you're trying to sideload it from somewhere (e.g. restore from Titanium) - don't do that.
8. MMS: Documented as broken.
The thread over on Androidforums is more current than the one here, but I will endeavor to at least mirror MAJOR updates here.

Yes, that was something I found with CM7. The screen flickering issue is not present. YMMV.

on this note i will say it is in fact how you hold the phone. it happens to me all the time on my stock triumph. no big deal and nothing to worry about. but thank you for saying something about it none the less.
There are a bunch of AOSP rom's for our phone, most of them share the same issues since it's the same code, with slight differences based on which commits they've added. I'm hoping we can list the common issues in one thread as a reference.
1. Data handoffs between 3g/4g - I believe this is now fixed in most of them after the RIL patches, right?
2. Call volume - This CM10 commit (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#/c/24564/) should fix this. Not in most rom's yet
3. Bluetooth pairing, call connect, streaming - does this work fully in any AOSP rom?
4. Sleep of death
5. Wakelock caused after playing media (DirectTrack)
6. Camera issues, like save to sd. The JB mod camera hasn't been updated yet.
7. Misc battery life issues - are most of these due to #5?
8. Activation issues after a flash
9. Low video recording volume
10. Notification light problems
11. 160 char sms limit, MMS doesn't work
12. Problems waking up with home button
13. Screen redraw issues (these can be fixed by turning off hardware overlays, but that increases cpu consumption)
I think it would be very helpful if we could track which rom's had which fixes merged, since otherwise it's hard to tell without asking in each thread, doing a lot of searches, and trying out.
Slimbean:
-Wake lock issue still seams to be an issue, battery life is bad
-notification light not working when call/text/email etc come in. Will be patched on next release
-data seams stable enough (ril patch is active on most recent build)
-horrible battery life
-call volume will be patched on next release
-home button to wake up phone is hit or miss
-odd screen glitches every now and then (fully live withable)
-mms sending takes forever, needed several reboots to even get it to work
-if usb fast charge is available in your kernel, it has a toggle for it in the notification tray (awesome)
-did I mention the battery life is bad?
-soft key light options do not work
I'll report more as I find them. I like these threads, good call.

Add low video recording in all AOSP Roms. As far as I know this has not been fixed yet.

I am using slimbean 2.5 and I am getting anywhere from 16 to 24 hours of battery life on a single charge (3-4 hours of screen) which is about normal for any AOSP/AOKP based rom.
I actually made a similar list, but deals with comparing TW quirks to AOSP quirks:
Touchwiz VS. AOSP
Touchwiz:
- No Bluetooth and Aux input simultaneously
- Wallpaper Cropping forced to non-scrolling
- No way to disable auto volume reduction upon headset plug-in
- God awful front end interface design (this is more of an opinion)
- Google Music will randomly stop working, requires screen to be turned on for it to start playing the next track
AOSP:
- Volume Quirks (upon reboot, media volume will play quiet regardless of where the slider is, if maxxed you must turn it down and then up again similar to the call volume issue)
- Call Volume at Max every call (wasn't this fixed recently?)
- Wrongly uses noise reduction mic for recording (thus quieter)
- Inferior Camera (features mainly)
- Worse battery life
- Sometimes drops data
- Not as buttery as ICS for some reason (recents excluded)
- Will frequently kill background apps, making 2GB of ram somewhat pointless
- Bluetooth streaming issues (This doesn't personally affect me but I thought I'd throw it in anyway)
Basically, the one with the shorter list wins. So, I'm on TW for now but I yearn for the AOSP list of quirks to shrink.

This 1? http://tinyw.in/25QW
Number 6 is not really a problem. It's all based on personal preference.
Number 1 was fixed. Sleep of death could be kernel and/or clock speed settings. Mms works fine. There is a fix somewhere for direct track. Battery issues? Umm mines been perfect. That could be contributed to people not knowing what's causing wake locks and not fixing it. Not sure how anybody is getting screen redraws I haven't disabled hardware overlay and mine is fine, using apex if that makes a difference.
Most if not all of those issues are non existent in liquid smooth.
Hope this is the right spot to post this question. I tried flashing 2 separate roms today (Slim Rom and Liquid Smooth) which I believe are both AOSP, but I could be wrong. On both occasions, it starts to boot and gets to the google account login screen and the screen on the phone just keeps flickering and goes black.
I am unlocked, obviously rooted, with CWM 6.0.1.1 and have flashed JB TW rom in the past with no problems but went back to TW ICS, which I am currently running now.
Anyone know or direct me to the right thread as to why the screen flickering happens after flashing these AOSP roms? I haven't tried CM10 yet because these other roms actually sound more stable than CM10 right now.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

That might work, but I cannot even get into the OS to disable anything. It is completely unusable when I flash any of these roms.
Would there be something out there that I could flash in CWM to disable this in the rom pre-boot?

Nothing that I know of sorry.
One of the main reasons I don't use any AOSP roms is because of the bluetooth sync issue. In two of my cars, it will sync for the first time, but any other time I get in the car it won't pair up. I have to manually connect it every single time.
wifi errors, i get out of range and or wps failed on any aosp rom.
I find that signal is just not as strong as compared to Touchwiz roms.

ROM: CM10 M2
Using Android Pro Widgets (the APW People widget in particular), it lags (the widget, not the ROM). Anyone run into this issue? Not a big problem, just curious.
Any word on when the call volume is going to be merged into the CM10 build for d2vzw
I'm new to this phone, Android, and CM11, so I'm not sure which of those three things are to blame...
I expected that when I push the camera button, the phone would switch to camera mode as it did on my previous phone (not a smartphone) but it doesn't appear to do anything at all. I can use the camera by opening the camera app, then the camera button does work to take photos so I know the button itself isn't broken.
Is this expected behavior, or does it work as I expected when the phone was stock? Is this possibly a bug in CM11 (I'm using 21OCT2014 nightly)? Is there a setting I can change to make the camera button switch to camera mode?
Nobody knows? I can try flashing my phone back to stock to see, but that means I'll have to learn how to backup first so it's not as easy as someone just answering...
I'm pretty sure on stock it launches the camera app properly.
I think the issue with CM is we share the device tree with many other devices (hence the moto_msm8960_jbbl name - it covers all the Moto's with that SoC and bootloader).
Someone was asking about that in the CM thread. I'll try to find the post - I meant to when I originally saw your thread and got distracted.
Thanks! I'll just cross my fingers a future CM will make it work, not a huge problem in the mean time.

Ah, finally found the post.
(I kept forgetting to search for it, lol).

Edit - looks like http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/c/74257/ was just merged recently too. Try the Nov1 (or later) nightly of CM.

Thanks again! I tried 4 November, and sure enough, it works. I have to hold in the camera button a second, (not just push it once), but it did indeed open camera app.

I believe this is by-design. You don't want to short press the camera button and have it always open the camera - as the press could have been a mistake. Long press ensures that is indeed the action you wanted.
Enjoy.
This is my first time installing custom ROM's on my otherwise stock Sprint Motorola photon 4G LTE. After successfully flashing CM13 (2016_08_20 snapshot release), I tried to make a call, and upon hitting "call" from the dialer, the screen goes black and stays that way. The only recourse is to hold down power button long enough to reboot. While the screen is black, there is no sound from the ear piece (i.e. it does not appear that the call is connected). Finally, while the screen is black, the phone does exhibit some reactions: it vibrates sometimes if I hit the power button, in other words, the device is still 'on" until I have to reboot it.
After this happened, I gave up on CM13 and flashed CM-12 (the latest snapshot release, from 2015) , and experienced the same behavior.
The call apparently was completed, because the other party received a missed call. However, there was no sound on my end (although there was side-tone, when I breathed on it)
I googled for about an hour, and saw examples of the same behavior on other devices claiming to be related to the proximity sensor (though in those cases, there apparently was audio in the ear piece-- ie. the call completed, and was in progress while the screen was black). This behavior was not observed a few minutes before under stock ROM in the same device (so doubt it's a strictly hardware issue, so doubt I need to open the device and clean the sensor, per some of the suggestions out there).
I suspect the answer is very basic, because I found no similar threads searching XDA.
Please let me know any ideas. I did not do anything about updating my baseband version from stock before flashing the CM ROMs., but don't know if I have to I'm a noob at custom Rom's and just remembered that you had to worry about the baseband / radio version back on the HTC Evo 8 years ago, which was my last time flashing. Again, the ROM itself worked fine-- wifi and 3G/LTE connectivity was a success.
Let me know any ideas.
thanks
After restoring to stock, dialing worked again on the phone, but the behavior on the device was different from two other photons I tested next to it.
In the stock ROM, the call connected, but the screen turned off immediately upon hitting "call" (even when the phone was on the desk). You could get the screen back (in stock only) by hitting the power button.
In my other two photons, the black screen does not kick-in immediately. So it does appear it could be something having to do with the proximity sensor (i.e. it's always engaged). I don't have the skills to confirm. I am writing-off this phone for now, and have a different device (so not a high-priority thread at this point), but let me know if anyone has any ideas. Thx.
There's a way to validate if the prox sensor is working - zDeviceTest in the Play Store will test all of the hardware, and it will also show the metrics each piece of hardware is receiving - the prox sensor being fairly simple, it just identifies if an object is "near" or "far".
I always recommend making sure everything works in the stock ROM before flashing anything custom - as you need to validate everything works before making tweaks.
My advice is the same as arrrghhhs. (This name really looks like it was typed with a Photon Q with some characters repeated by the device >.>)
I noticed that my proximity sensor sometimes "stuck" to near (I use some different app [SatStat] so it shows 3 cm or 100 cm instead of near/far). Winking a little above the sensor helps sometimes. But your problem sounds like a defect.

OFFICIAL and HOMEMADE builds are not intercompatible! You will need to do a full wipe if you are switching from one to the other.
CURRENT ISSUES ON OFFICIAL:
1. Incall speaker volume is too low (earpiece volume is fine)
2. Camera sometimes doesn't start (rare)
3. Blutooth and FM radio can't be used concurrently. If you use either you need to reboot to use the other.
4. Double tap to wake doesn't work
5. Adding fingerprints only works on initial device setup. Adding fingerprints from Settings is buggy.

Been trying this out since yesterday. Nice ROM, very smooth. Its great to see an AOSP rom with 90% of functionality. Battery usage is on par with stock.
One bug that I noticed is that if bluetooth is on (regardless of whether it is connected or not), it'll keep a 'bluesleep' wakelock which preents the device from going into Deep sleep.
Edit: Another note on the deep sleep problem. Even after turning bluetooth off, the phone doesn't deep sleep. Other wakelocks (event3, event4, event6) show as keeping the phone awake. Reboot fixes it and the phone can finally deep sleep.
Are you guys still enjoying this ROM?
Thanks to oshmoun to this amazing ROM i use it every days and i prefer Android 6 for the xposed module
Fantastic rom! Finally got rid of all the crap Sony bloatware.
However two questions. The camera on the back can now only shoot 8MP photo's. I've disbled the 8MP option in the setting, but it still won't let me shoot 23MP photo's. Is there a way to fix this?
Also the fingerprint scanner doesn't seem to function. When trying to add a fingerprint, it immediately fails (registration cannot be completed). Any fix?

about the camera,you need to wipe camera data after toggling 23MP mode. You'll then see the 23MP resolution in settings.
about the fingerprints, thanks for the hint. This is a bug. Sometimes it works though, so you might get lucky if you try a lot.
also, it's cool to know people are using this rom lol
if you're interested, I can post custom HOMEMADE builds that contain some bugfixes.
Notice though that HOMEMADE builds are signed differently, and won't be compatible with OFFICIAL builds. That means you'll need a full wipe before flashing and booting.

Definitely interested in updates. Do you know if the Bluetooth issue got fixed?

ok cool. I'll post an updated HOMEMADE build.
Main bugfixes are:
1. camera doesn't randomly crash at start anymore.
2. bluetooth doesn't cause device to stay awake
3. bluetooth and fm can be used without rebooting the device inbetween (not concurrently though, using bluetooth when fm is on will disable fm for example)
EDIT: build is done, tested and all seems ok

Thanks for the new rom. I'm going to flash it asap and let you know how it works. Keep up the work!
Tried this out today and it works really well. I'll probably try it out as a daily this week, because the bugs seem quite minor at this stage. I'm surprised that this isn't getting more attention. Since the BT bug is fixed, I'm wondering if the same fix will work for CM13 as well?
@oshmoun Nice work! I'm not sure how OmniROM works, but what is stopping you from updating official with the same changes?

Hehe well I'm just doing the building. Awesome people from the Sony open devices project helped fix the bugs
Official updates for omni 6.0 only come in form of security updates, i.e when Google uploads a new revision. That's why i can't update official that simply. Although to be honest I haven't asked if there are exceptions
I've flashed the rom today and it is working very well. The fingerprint scanner now works fine, even from the settings.
Thanks!

Really? It still doesn't work here.
Maybe it's because you did a full wipe.
Can you try adding/removing fingerprints from settings multiple times please? If it works reliably, that'd be great

I flashed the Homemade version yesterday. I too am able to add fingers after initial setup in the settings. I tried to delete a finger in order to retry but the OS shuts down and reboots.
I believe I found a bug. Homemade version.
While listening to Audio, the whole phone locks up after what seems to be random times. I've listened to audio for a few minutes then it locks. I've listened up to around 45 minutes then locks up. Never more than an hour. If it helps, I've had this occur with Google Play Music, Poweramp, and Pocket Casts apps.
To resolve this, I have to hold power and volume up (Force shut down?)

yeah so it's still buggy I guess. I don't think i'll be able to fix that though, sadly. However, I can confirm that the issue doesn't appear on android nougat.

hmmmm, yes you are right. I was able to reproduce that. I think I know why that happens. I used another fix for mp3 playback. The solution that's used in OFFICIAL is different from HOMEMADE.
well, the good news is that android nougat requires neither lol.
Thank you for your time and the build. I've never seen OmniROM before today.
Today I've tried to add some more fingerprints. But now it fails.
I skipped the fingerprint registration during the initial installation and added 3 fingers later, but now it just fails every time.
I also encountered the audio playback issue while using Spotify today.
Hey oshmoun
I'm enjoying your Homemade!
Herzlichen Dank!
Keep on coding! :good:
