Some hints:
1. Be sure you are on latest CWM or TWRP recovery!!!!!!
2. Not all gapps packages right now are nice working. You can try others but at least I know that the one linked here is working. If you have other gapps which are working you can link it here of course
3. Full wipe when coming from any 4.3 or 4.4 rom (as well format system manually please)

Reporting Bugs
When you submit a bug you want to make sure that nothing from your side is causing it. Otherwise your developer might be hunting a bug which doesn't really exist.
The best way to achieve this is by doing the following.
1. Make a nandroid backup.
2. Perform a full wipe (factory reset + wipe /system)
Now we have two different ways depending on what kind of problem you're having.
3a. When you're having a problem with a ROM function, flash just the ROM without GAPPS etc. and boot back into the system. You will boot directly onto the homescreen.
3b. When you're having a problem with a 3rd party app in combination with our ROM then flash the ROM and GAPPS.
Boot now back into the system. You will boot to the setup wizard.
Log in to your Google account but make sure that you untick "Restore from my Google Account to this phone/tablet".
Finish the setup and open the playstore and download only the app you're having problems with.
4. Start a logcat recording and reproduce the bug (if possible more than once) while taking the logcat. If you don't know how to get a logcat read this tutorial or this.
5. Post the logcat in a txt file (this is important because you otherwise clog up the threads with your log) in the correct thread.
Please also write detailed description how we can reproduce the bug.
6. Restore your backup from point 1 and wait for a fix (don't ask for ETAs).

@kufikugel The recovery linked in post #2 is for the Galaxy Nexus (maguro)

During bootup, error "Unfortunately, messaging has stopped". Not a big deal though, but if anyone feels like getting rid of that, it is the mms.apk that needs to be deleted.
Other than that, everything else seems fine.

yeah..same error here.and camera also no go..
but others is good..hope tiles customizations coming soon..its the most important features..!

for camera we just need to wait for the 4.4 binaries google will hopefully release soon. I think the effort to hack now around to get the old camera blobs working and then reverting in some days back to the new is not really usefull. So a bit wait on camera
Mms....lmao unbelievable that google still not solved it in the source....next build will have mms fixed Man everything we need to do on our own
hehe
cheers

new version is up guys
with mms fix
Fixes new version:
- added dalvik optimizations....so speed up step one
- reworked and adapted status bar clock and date customization to 4.4
- added some of our camera features (smart captchure, jpg quality, color filter, gps indicator)
- reworked the complete camera to the new google style. Google stoped it after they finished the photo camera interface lol. So all into new PIE style + some fixes + more consistent now
- added a bunch of Mms/SMS fixes
- activated on supported devices lockscreen transparency on nav and statusbar
- some stability fixes
- fixed some google 4.4 code derps
- a lot small stuff
have fun and cheers
PS. the camera features for tilapia of course you cannot use right now

Cool ROM! i like it, but i hope more performance optimization coming

Great ROM!!
This is the best ROM I have ever used in my Oneplus One. Its been my daily driver for the last couple of weeks.
Please make it available for F2FS too. I have to convert this ROM every time before flashing.
Keep up the good work, cheers!!

system ui force close
Hey, did a clean wipe (factory reset) and installed the latest fix on hardware button issues but getting a system ui force close when changing up tiles and layouts.
Otherwise everything running fluently!
Good ups!

TRDS
I have come from CM11 Temasek (Unofficial) Bacon *port* to crDroid. TRDS was optional in that ROM but I never used it. However when I've come over to crDroid and flashed the Android L Gapps I am getting everything in that sort of blacked out style. I was using the ART runtime on my previous ROM. I wiped data, cache, dalvik cache and system before installing this ROM, any ideas as to what could be causing this?
Thanks

flash different gapps and see if you come up with the same results. Its not the rom I can tell you that

It was the gapps. I was using gapps from slimrom and they were modified to be capable of TRDS. Using PA Gapps with the Android 5.0 update.

Wifi problem
with the latest crdroid, wifi is constantly active under battery stats even if it is turned off or device was in airplane mode

Awesome thanks!

Before nothing: Thanks for your Rom it's awesome!
I detected one problem with the profiles: if you make any profile who have the sound sliders in 0 and/or use the "silence" mode when you put another profile with the sound on nothing happen so you have to put the sound on moving the sliders manually.
Somebody have the same problem?
Enviado desde mi A0001 mediante Tapatalk

Do we have screen-off gestures like stock one-plus one in "crDroid ROM" ?
As the title itself is clear, I would also like to know if it is not present then is there any way to get it on this rom?

As long as it's the same rom and op doesn't say you have to wipe then no you don't have to wipe. Just flash and forget.

This is so much more fluid than CM builds (to me). It is fairly close to CM with AK's kernel installed. Video recording is not working on the 11/17 build for those asking.

Nav Bars
Is there a setting to enable nav bars?

What about soft-buttons? Are they working in this build, without modifying with textedit?

you are wrong!!

i have installed CM12!! with AK kernel!
working perfectly on multirom!! you only must install as primary ROM and then SWAG the rom to secondary!!!
I can`t post link already, but if you come to the oneplus forum in the threat "roms y desarrollo" you can find the links.

I've two minor issues in last build (2014-11-17)
The issues:
- Automatic time zone update is always set to +1 GMT every time.
- "CLOSE ALL RECENTE" also close the system UI, restarting it.
The battery percentage is not displayed.

this pre-alfa can work with AK kernell??? or need it's own kernell

looks good

HDR+ camera app on nexus 5 for lollipop rom "CANDY5 OFFICIAL"
I downloaded and flashed this rom. everything is great except for the fact that my google camera app (downloaded in the play store) no longer offers the HDR+ mode. is there a fix for this? maybe an apk i can download?

Does the ROM have disable volume adjust sound and volume track skip features?

It isn't working with multirom.

If you are using PA gapps, there is no hdr+ in google camera, maybe there are any missing libs for hammerhead hdr+..

Advantages over stock Lollipop
I am just wondering what advantages/extra features this ROM has over stock android

- Tap2wake/S2w ... Enable via kernel
How can i use this?

Most stable lp rom for d855
This was the only rom that has has a fix for choppy video in browser. Excellent work on this very promising rom, so far this is stable enough to be a daily driver

I know this sounds stupid but I just can't find it. I plug a usb key and it mounts fine but I can't find anywhere the option to unmount. And yes I looked in settings/storage and there is no unmount option.

Xposed for lollipop installs on Candy5
I don't seem to be able to post to the main thread yet, but I was able to install Xposed framework Alpha for lollipop successfully on Candy5 v1.0.1-20150215

Why arent new updates coming for the nexus 5??

Move apps to SD card does not work
I've tried a couple of ROMs and this seems to work great, but I have one issue.
I've tried [ROM] [5.1.1] Resurrection Remix® Lollipop v5.4.4 and it had option to move apps to SD card, but I didn't like if for some reasons.
This LiquidSmooth ROM doesn't have that option, as it seems, or I'm missing something?
Could you please let me know if there is a way to move apps to SD card?
I've tried some apps, but they didn't work as expected. Do you know any that is free and does the job?
Thanks in advance!

after first reboot my phone asked for puk code. so clearly there is a problem with sim

Hi. I use your version of CM12.1, all is working well, except flashlight from notification tray wich its not working at all. Anyway i hope you keep update of this version of ROM.

Thanks, flashlight problem solved but i think the previous version from 09.06.2015 it's a little more fluid than latest build.
In the latest version 14.06.2015 it's a little lag on it. I use slim gapps from 12.06.2015. Anyway it's a very good ROM.

Also having the issue with sim puk code. Is it somehow fixable?
Edit. Atm the fix seems to be to remove sim pin at all.

Missed calls
Whenever i missed a call there is no icon in the top left to indicate that,Is that a ROM problem or is there an option that i have accidentaly turned off?

Something broke for me when updating from 4.1 r2 (Or r3? Don't know, the version from mid June, before the 16.06.2015 one) to r6.
Mobile status says "not connected". I'm registered with German O2 HDSPA network, I can make calls and SMS works as well, but I can't get an IP anymore. Network via wireless works just fine.
I've did clean flash (format everything except for boot) 2 times in a row, only image and Gaps Zero, flashed via TWR. Checksums verified.
APN settings manually verified, the broadcasted APN settings are correct.
