Full credit goes to Ssserpentine, SpaceMoose, and OldMacnut for their work on their united efforts to port Honeycomb to our tablets! It seems they are no longer working on it so I decided to create this thread and see what we all could to do together to improve what they have given us!
The point of this thread is to find ways to gather anyone with knowledge on developing, even if its just the "lowly 7-Zippers" like me, to see how we can remove minor bugs and small issues from the ROM. I know Oldmacnut was going to pick it up, but he has a lot on his plate right now and he has been in pain and is more interested in finishing the CM7 Port instead. I respect his decision, but so many people want honeycomb working on our tabs. So I am turning to the dev community here to see if we can group together and fix things in this rom together. If we cant solve the major bugs, lets address all the little things, cuz the little things add up.
Spacemoose made a list of suggestions from users earlier on how to solve minor issues, and little workarounds, but I would like to see if there is a way to roll up those fixes into one full updated ROM flashable through a zip/odin/heimdall file, and see if we can come up with more. You can see this post here, but I have added them to the second post as well in a more organized form.

------------------------------------------
Lets put our minds together and see what we can do guys! Btw this was inspired by Rodderik's thread [SPRINT][CDMA]Galaxy Tab (SPH-P100) Mega Development Starter Thread (CWM, EF17 TAR), so if youre interested in this, you might like his thread too!
Current Workarounds/Temporary Fixes:
Letters correspond to the bugs listed in the OP.
A)
Ssserpentine:
1) Open up Dev Tools
2) Go to Development Settings
3) StrictMode Visual Indicator - turn it off
4) back out of app and now open it again.
5) If this doesn't get rid of MOST of the red borders, REBOOT and open app again.

I would really love a Honeycomb ROM for the Galaxy Tab. There are many reasons why I want to put Honeycomb onto the original Galaxy Tab.
Just see the difference for yourself: Blank space, single pane, one-category-at-a-time menus in Gingerbread
VS.
Less blank space, concise, dual pane interfaces in Honeycomb.
Gingerbread apps are just designed for smaller smartphone screens, so they look too big and spaced-out on the 7-inch Galaxy Tab for my taste. I would really love to see some tablet-optimized apps on the Galaxy Tab!
-------------------------
And yes, I respect the developers and appreciate them so much for the time they put into making custom roms a reality for us!

Are the bugs the same? Or are there others that I havent mentioned? I will try to make a section for both tabs if theres different bugs in each one.
Why no mention of ssserpentine?
In op or thread tittle?
He worked on the GSM version.
Moose did the major part of the port and the cdma version.
That other person stumbled, or so he claims, on a audio fix. Never saw a release of this apparent audio fix.
Wonder how many donations he got on open thread with no release posted.
Hmm.
Makes ya wonder why that thread is even there.
Dole out the credits properly.
Just know it needed to be said, and go ahead and get mad. Truth hurts.
alot of angry responces coming, maybe, but dare ya to point out a single lie in this post. Even an exaggeration.
Moose did hc for MONTHS and noone offered any valid help, except ssserpentine, why do you think anyone is gonna get off their but now?
Why don't you, punkrock?
Cause I know how utterly hopeless this task is.
Why don't you all just wait for the leak of the next os?
That so much closer than some random Joe, or Joe's on xda getting hc ported at this point .
is the dead horse braised yet?
Still, hope is eternal, I suppose

Easy man, in my frenzy of trying to organize the thread, I forgot to credit Ssserpentine in the OP, youre right he did contribute a lot, no need to be rash, I will update it right now.
EDIT: btw oldmacnut did make an audio fix, im running his rom right now, I downloaded it when he had it posted before he took it down, and Im sure some of the bugs I mentioned are fixable on the rom level rather than through adb. My goal wasnt to debug the rom completely, it was to incorporate all the existing bug fixes and workarounds into one rom, while possibly solving others. Also the GSM devs are aplenty here, while we barely have any CDMA, Im sure we have enough talent to make it better than what it is. It might not be flawless, but Im sure we can squeeze more functionality out of it.
Its weird,
Honeycomb is more or less froyo based, obviously as we had hc long before gb, so at the time when I started getting into this whole dev thing hc/froyo seemed just different to me.
But after working on the abortion called gingerbread, and working onbthe kernel stuff, froyo to me, is starting to look like a much more viable and dev friendly option.
Alot if the work Dan did in hc was from scratch, or from the sdk, etc. The audio fix I did was from both.
The big issue on getting hc up and going into a usuable rom is source, we really really need that source for hc. Otherwise, its going to be a long drawn out road of trial and error building with alot of these issues never really getting fixed.
Truth is,
No device with our hardware exists with hc, so no drivers that we need.
We need Google to release the hc source.
I liked hc on my tab just like y'all, but.......I know its just a novel weekend fun toy till we get better resources.

Yeah I know, the lack of source sucks along with the fact we dont have drivers. I dont think we'll have everything working anytime soon at all, if ever even, but I think some of the minor annoyances like the disappearing quick settings toggle, sdcard mounting issues, and graphical errors can be solved without that kind of stuff. Me personally, Id just like HQ Video Playback and 3D Graphics working a hundred percent along with orientation, but as you said no drivers so idk how easy that'd be. Still, Im sure we could solve some of these minor issues. I keep browsing over the Nook Color Forums trying to find hints to solving some of these things

Nice to see something happening here. I love my Tab but would like some advancements in OS to address specific issues. I am very new to the dev side of the Android OS but would like to get involved.
--Mike
What blows my mind is that they have created an almost perfect HC port for the $150.00 walmart sold viewsonic g-tablet by means of the flashback roms so why is it so hard to get HC working on our tabs? And why can't someone just dump the Rom from the gtab10.1 and use that as a starting point?
On a different note, the alpha 2.5 HC Rom for gsm, the sd cards will not mount no matter what, I've tried The terminal and the mount instructions many times all I am able to do is get the tab to recognize my external sd as the internal sd, and if you try to go to settings applications and clear data for the gallery you get a force close as soon as you tap manage applications

Ok done some immediate testing on my GSM Tab for some of the known issues
A) Red Border Around Screen at Random Times
Confirmed
Solution: is the same as the CDMA
B) Constant Gallery Force Close
Confirmed
Solution: Cannot be fixed through Setting, crashes as soon as you try to Manage Applications
C) Stock Launcher hangs for many seconds at a time randomly
Not really was slow on boot but no major problems
D) SD Card Does Not Mount
Confirmed
Solution: Haven't tested fix yet
E) Youtube app does not work
Confirmed
Solution: Confirmed
F) Orientation Sensor is not functional
Confirmed
Solution: "Rotating Screen" flips screen incorrectly so that capacitive buttons are on the top of the device
G) Honeycomb thinks Device Keyboard is enabled by default
Confirmed
Solution: Must be set on each boot
H) When pressing Quick Settings, an image that is semi transparent that is supposed to cover the entire screen isnt scaled properly
Confirmed
I) HQ Youtube does not work (LQ does on the mobile site)
Confirmed
J) Quick Settings Shortcut on Bottom Right Side (Wi-Fi Toggle, Brightness Slider, etc) appears for a second but disappears afterwards.
The widget that display battery level, time, etc stays active however no settings are located underneath it. While this menu is expanded a press on the bottom bar will cause the settings to briefly appear but then the whole menu will close
K) Flash Player is not Fully Functional
Not tested
"New" GSM bugs
1. Wi-fi settings are not saved on restart
2. Manage Applications and Running Services menu causes force close of settings
3. Small thing but Tab's first start had language set to Spanish (Not sure if it was spanish but it certainly was not English)
And as always 3G does not work (tried APN settings but it wouldn't let me save)
Alright I'm back to MIUI until I can find some more time on my hands

If it were that simple I'm sure someone would have thought of that To be honest I think the problem is that the Tab is an extremely fractured device; it was really the first Android tablet to directly compete with the iPad, so it was spread as wide as possible. That's great for Samsung who got a pretty large base of customer but sucks for devs because the GSM and CDMA are 2 very different devices not to mention the P-1000N. When I got my Tab last month the first thing I noticed in this forum was the fragmentation between the different versions of Tabs. More profoundly this means that the developers are split apart, usually when one dev makes a break through everyone else can take advantage of it (i.e. the amazing Voodoo Sound/Color hacks) but not here. I feel like everyone is by themselves and I truly feel bad for the developers because they must make their own breakthroughs on top of dealing with complaints from Tab users with other versions that they want this awesome thing on their Tab. As if its no big deal to go and buy a $450 device to develop something as a hobby and then release it for free for people on the internet after already buying nearly the exact same device.
Sadly I think the Tab is a perfect storm working against modifying it in any ground breaking ways. Don't get me wrong I love my Tab and will try to help getting Honeycomb running but I almost feel like it would just be easier to wait for Ice Cream Sandwhich. /rant
Guys, there is no reason to develop honeycomb, it is inposible to make fully functional honeycomb rom, wait a month or less for ICS, read this (quote from android police posted today):
Honeycomb is closed source. Nobody can make a tablet without Google's blessing. The reason given is that Honeycomb was rushed out the door, and the code isn't good enough for an open source release. They're right you know, setting the emulator to anything smaller than a tablet will result in about a million force closes. Honeycomb just isn't as supportive of hardware as Gingerbread was. To save developers the headache of supporting a platform that wasn't ready, Android's openness got shelved.
Luckily this is going to change. The big cheese said so himself on the Official Android Developers blog, "This temporary delay does not represent a change in strategy. We remain firmly committed to providing Android as an open source platform across many device types." Source code is coming back. This will make the modding community's life much easier. Cyanogenmod 8 (I got excited just typing that) and Ice Cream Sandwich will be able to get hacked onto just about anything.

Wow now that is the kinda posts i like seeing on here! I will try to update the OP tonight with this info! Thanks so much! Definitely echo your sentiments about the fractured and fragmented development we have going on here, it really sucks =/
Ive found out that replacing the existing Gallery with Gallery3D should fix the FC that keeps popping up.
I think Ive found a working Youtube App (in LQ).
Ive also found a hint towards solving the sdcard mounting issue. Its not the vold.fstab its something either in the framework or ramdisk within the kernel, according to the Nook Color Forums.
This thread is interesting: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062626 , actually the entire nook color forum is interesting for finding fixes.
Also changing the dalvik_heapsize to a certain value is supposed to increase app compatibility. Before I update the OP with some of these things, I wanna do a little more testing and see what I can come up with.
Sorry to bother for help,
Sorry to bother you guys for help, but I've been trying to install Oldmacnut's updated of Spacemoose's CDMA Honeycomb (2.5.1) for hours now, with no success.
I used Rodderick's awesome stock rom/kernel and got into clockworkmod (using 4.0.1.5 or 3.0.0.0), installed the zip from there, then rebooted the phone, but I would either 1) be stuck at logo for 10+ minutes 2) see the Sprint startup video loop over and over again, or 3) get stuck on a turned on, but black screen.
How did you guys install Honeycomb on your CDMA tab? Am I doing something wrong? Should I use Spacemoose's 2.5 rom instead of Oldmacnut's?
EDIT: NEVER MIND, IT BOOTED INTO HONEYCOMB. I am in a foreign language, haha, I'm guessing Portuguese?
EDIT EDIT: Google Translate detects the language as Catalan. Haha!

Hehe that happened to me as well
First Impressions and problems encountered
HOLY SHOOT THIS IS QUITE FAST!
Considering there is no graphics acceleration support, Honeycomb runs much faster than I anticipated. SD card support is fantastic, and so is hearing sound! (I love you OMC) The UI is awetastic and the standard web browser is blazing fast. Scrolling in web pages is faster on Honeycomb than on Gingerbread stock.
The jittery touch screen bug I have is still there, unfortunately. Damn bug drives me crazy sometimes. I'm sure somebody has this problem that many of us have but have not found a fix to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=970965
Basically, when I hold down my finger to scroll on white or light-color backgrounds, the screen shakes back and forth in a spastic, noticeable way, especially when I hold it in place. This happens on every single rom I've been on, froyo, GB, CM7, and now Honeycomb. Has anyone found a fix for that yet?
Anyways, I think all the known Honeycomb bugs are true to me too. Youtube force closes on me, GPS doesn't work, auto-orientation doesn't work. Strangely enough, Quick Settings doesn't work for me. Anyone encounter that?
I am newbie here and just switch from CM7 to Oxygen and found that a great rom, light, fast and stable. But I miss very much the option to vibrate wheb answered and hang up becasue it's desperately needed for me. Any one know how to implement it into Oxygen rom? like push a script or flash zip file, or something else?
Any one have idea? Please help!
Any one have solution? Developers please help !
If its not in settings > call settings, you will need to import this at source code level. You will need to swap the telephone application (before compile from source) and also merge elements of the CMparts.apk (both at source code level).
You may be best asking someone on the oxygen forum whom compiles oxygen from source for help.
---------- Post added at 10:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------
SOrry, just to add, you'll need to import providers too. And some frameworks probably. Its not an easy job.
Woa! that sounds like a lot complex to me
Thanks for your help but this is too far than a "ordianary" way for a newbie like me . Btw I dont think either Adam or Thalamus, the developers of Oxygen, will help me because on their forum they stated clearly that they dont want Oxygen will become alike CM, so I think I must find another way or at last final solution is obviously back to Cyanogenmod ^^
Yeah but oxygen sources are available so many advanced users are compiling it for themselves. Worth asking anyway

The easiest way:
Just download Rocket dialer pro and use it as a secondary dialer app.It has a lot of customization settings and has what you've been looking for, vibration on answered, hang up and even for call waiting. also you can change the vibration strength and lower the vibration while on these call conditions.
I think this is the best easiest way...(doing by compromising a little space).
This also works on the ICS ROM (tested with preston's Virtuous Quattro)
You can download Call End Vibrate from the market to let you know when a call has finished (eg when you drop a call unexpectedly). I have always found that being able to hear a person on the other end is enough to tell me when a call has connected!
Released to market!
Remember all those nifty little tricks in Sense which you sometimes miss on cm7 and cm9? I thought about getting those features into an app which can be used with all ROMS. The main one I'm thinking of is the flip for speaker but there are also other ones like the loud ring in pocket and so on. It was really something that I wanted in an app. The closest one I found was Sanity which switched on the speaker as soon as the user takes the phone off his ear, which can lead to troubles such as in a classroom/meeting.
So far, I have a working version of the Flip For Speaker with an option to disable it of course. I'll will try to port the other features. I would like to get your opinion of small features that improve the usability like this one and I can try including them as well. They can be from other ROMS of other phones like say something from TouchWiz or MotoBlur. Post them here and I'll see what I can do.
Meanwhile, here is an alpha version of the app if you would like to test it out. If you run into errors, let me know. Try getting a logcat if you can. I'm open to suggestions.
Current Features:
Flip to Silence
Flip for Speaker

I would also like a nice name for the app so suggestions are welcome!(Don't want to use the word sense in case of any copyright issues later on when hopefully, I can release the app into the Market).
If anyone is willing to test on other devices, please let me know.
Source code: https://github.com/ajaykumarkannan/Sense-and-Sanity
You can report issues and see the existing issues here: https://github.com/ajaykumarkannan/Sense-and-Sanity/issues?state=open
You can also make feature requests there.
Heres a good app to control flip to speaker: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.matthew.rice
Only thing is, its a paid app, but works very well for me.
Nice find!
I think I'll continue developing this app so that it can suit my purposes better and it's fun developing
I'm also thinking of adding flip to silence feature. Anything else you would like to see, let me know.

Had a bug in the earlier version I posted. I thought that only pitch would be enough so the speaker kept turning on at incorrect moments. I've fixed that I'll post an update tonight.
As for the sense clock, sorry. I'm not that good at theming nor do I have enough patience for something like that! Henry would be a better person to ask. You can also check out UCCW clock widget which has sense clock like themes.
For internet passthrough, you can checkout this thing called "Reverse Tethering". I haven't used it personally but it should work.
Fixed the issue with the roll and also added flip for silence working. Updated apk in the OP. I've tested it very briefly cause I'm about to head off to sleep. Let me know if you find some issues.
Updated with a few bug fixes and hopefully should now support other devices because I've changed the API now. Check the changelog.
Added Pick up to Answer. Updated OP.
'senseable speaker control'
or
'non-sense speaker control'
Just a couple of things that popped in my head
Is this still in development? I really liked this idea and would pay a full app to do the "nifity tricks" (my suggested app name )

Yes, of course. I have a pretty major exam tomorrow so after that I would be getting back to development. Any features in particular you would like to see?

Hey AceRoom, great work on the sense app hey. Features I know I definitely miss on CM7 and CM9 roms are the jus the three you mentioned earlier on - quiet ring on pickup - flip for speaker and pocket mode. The rest are not so important but if you could get those working on any cm7 or CM9 rom - that would totally rock!
Looking forward to more of your work
Cheers
thanks a lot, i was searching all over for these features.
---------- Post added at 05:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------
since this is an application, why dont you add it to the play store?
Amazing! I think it works better than the actual sense version

I think those two features are already working well from the few guys I gave it to. They were mostly running stock ROMs (Samsung and LG phones).

I'm noticing some bugs with the pickup to answer. Is it working completely well for anyone?
This app makes me feel like a Jedi, just sayin'.

Actually, no. It picks up fine but the caller can't hear me. So I've just turned it off till you you fix it.
For some reason, it mutes the phone when it does that. So I tried explicity unmuting the phone and it still doesn't work. You can unmute it manually but it kind of defeats the purpose anyhow!
It's actually a hack I found somewhere since Android stopped supporting the call answer API after 2.3 (But had it in 2.2 and earlier).
The next thing I'm planning on adding is a speaker volume and normal volume (Because I find that I have to increase the volume when I flip for speaker usually).
I've tested it on the WFS only on CM9. What ROMs are the rest of you guys using?
S3Rx 4.0

S3Rx 4.0 TouchWiz 4.4.2 UCUFNE4 (8-12-14)
This ROM is primarily the work of @enewman17 and @loserskater, with contributions from @talkingmonkeys.
You may use any part of this ROM without asking, but you MUST give proper credit! And don't forget to give proper Thanks when you see them!
Disclaimer:
Although we do test there is always a chance things may go wrong. As always
we do not take responsible for what you do to your phone. You should know what your getting yourself into.
If you don't, please do not flash this and READ, READ, READ these forums till you feel confident enough to do so.
REQUIREMENTS
You MUST be running on 4.3 or newer firmware. This will not boot on anything older.
This includes the KT747 kernel by ktoonsez , and is currently the ONLY kernel that will work with this ROM.

KNOWN ISSUES
PESTS

NFC Polling is not working
Battery Notifications is not working. If enabled, once fully charged it will cause the launcher to keep crashing until you unplug.
Sometimes, if accessed from Settings > Extras > Battery Style, 3minit Battery Settings will Force Close. I have noticed no adverse effects from this, but you can access this from the App and it will not happen.

Hi Doc, Can I flash this rom using TWRP 2.7.0.0
I have not update yet since in your signature doesn't have the new zip file for this TWRP recovery.
So no Wifi Calling at this point?
I'm a patient guy.. Once thats ported over, its an instant flash!

Wifi calling cannot be ported. It is only available on tmobile based roms. Probably will never be on anything else. Sorry.

Yeah, I figured as much.. I have been to several T-Mobile stores while I was on vacation..
Every single one of the store managers claimed that T-Mobile is no longer interested in updating the T999 or the T999L only to focus on the S4 and S5... Not sure of the validity of their claims, but I'm hearing it a lot.. This port that You, enewman17, and loserskater appear to be our only hope at this point... I appreciate the work you continue on this device.. When I have the time I'll give it a flash.. Right now I'm on Carbon and quite happy, but miss the Wifi Calling.. I really should revert back to S3rx 3.0.. so many things I miss that ROM brought to us..
At this point, i cant argue that they are wrong about the update, but support and store employees are notorious for giving bad information. I do like the option of wifi calling, but can easily do without. Its just not like T-Mobile to do something like that. Especially lately with how they dont want to be outdone by other carriers in any regard.
Anyway, thats probably enough OT for now. If you need wifi calling in the future, S3Rx 3.0 would be an excellent choice!
Thanks for porting this Doc! thanks for not letting our phone die when it still has so much potential. Any plans for themes down the road? S5 UI would be great
Im not making plans right now. Too much going on. But keep watching S3Rx 4.0 and TMS3KK, both here and in AT&Ts forums. They are closely related and some things may end up working for both. The majority of the actual development is going on over at the AT&T threads though, so most things will get posted/released there first.
Ill post and keep things updated here of course, but actual development takes time at a computer that i just dont have lately. (Most of what i do is from a device while on the go). But who knows what lies a month down the road! Id love to get more involved with this stuff again!
Those if you who played around with my Sprint port may remember this btw, if you go to build.prop and change d2tmo to k2tmo, itll change some parts such as the toggles to S5 style.
Make sure you have signed into Google, and accessed the Play Store first though. If you make that change before, they may not work.

There are definitely plans for themes. I will be working on some in the near future. As for an s5 one, I believe someone has plans of working on one or will eventually.

I know what you mean... When I travel long distances, I reflash the S3Rx 3.0 Rom..
But I never left home while I was on vacation, and Reno has pretty decent reception, EXCEPT, in the outskirts..
Like Carson City, and Virginia City where I got absolutely zippo, but no Wifi there either.. Driving in the desert and Zippo signal..
I seriously doubt anyone would build a cell tower in the middle of no where ya know
I just installed this ROM and whenever I boot up it tells me that my system uid is inconsistent. Any ideas?

First ive ever seen that! Im guessing you did a dirty flash an the most likely and probably best solution would be a factory reset.
However, a quick google search found this. Give it a try if you like.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2585160
Out of curiosity, what were you running before this and what recovery did you flash with?
U was running the kitkat sprint port. And I used philz because I couldn't get twrp to work. Kept failing.

Wow that's a lot of ROMs. No disrespect but honestly tho.. why so many? Is it mostly just different looks or other tweaks for some and not others?

Cuz it's "options".. No one can say "why not this/that one..??" Now ppl have a selection to see for themselves, find out which one they like or prefer.. How many other devices have such a large selection? Not many, if any besides maybe the Warp Sync N9515 have as many ROM options.. Some will stay updated, depending on the ROM teams, many won't. So from here the question becomes: Which do ya like the most?? I'm finding new ROMs here and there, each with it's own tweaks and benefits. Most we wouldn't have known about cuz most ppl just build the same 5 ROMs per device.. Just throwing it all out there
I tried out Orion and I'm really loving the performance of it. ONLY thing I wish it had was to move the Recent list "clear all" button to the bottom to be always visible. Suppose there is no way without having another ROM that offers that to get it? I chose Orion because it seemed to be the most tweaked and had newer commits to it. Battery is great and it is way snappier than stock.

can you tell me if these roms include the native hotspot mod that usually comes with cyanogenmod and various others? i've noticed that people seldomly list this as a feature anymore, yet it's excluded pretty frequently as well... i haven't been able to get the provisioning thing in build.prop working on all the devices i've used, so i look for a rom that includes it whenever i can.

Thanks bro! Yes, I am/was a musician but those days are few and far between anymore. Is there something wrong with the PayPal link? I'll check it out. And thanks again for the kind words, I agree with ya on the ridiculous data issues, they eat us up like crazy! The hotspot is a very much big deal for me too as my device is usually my only internet out in the woods so I try to make sure it's 100%, Lol.
Sent from my Moto E (4) Plus using Tapatalk
Well the hotspot on Hexagon; i don't think is fixed because it allowed me to use my 8GB and i had to start using bluetooth for the time being. maybe i can flash another one and it'll work again. also, i don't know if its your rom or not because i didn't manage to get past the bug but, i wanted to try crdroid or whatever it was called. the one with the egyptian eye symbol, but anyway, during the setup process of that rom, it had some kind of little loop going on. right at the beginning, it asks if you want to restore your apps or something, ya know? and then so i'll put yes, from a google account; etc and no matter what route i take from there it leads me back to the first setup screen where you choose language.
it's a clean flash, wiped everything, and installed the rom, then open_gapps aroma, boots up fine, but the setup is jacked up. i tried it twice, but i didn't really go through any serious troubleshooting steps, i just flashed on a clean wipe, then flashed it right back over itself, thinking maybe a file was corrupt or something like that. got the same result twice, and i just restored my aosp extended install because i was having withdrawal symptoms from spotify. i don't really dig hexagon, so i guess i will give crdroid another shot and see how it behaves this time.
oh maybe i should mention, i didn't use this crdroid link, i used one that i found in your androidfilehost account under this device. i never looked to see if this one's newer, so maybe that explains it?

i also was disappointed by tipsy sadly. i've been a pretty big advocate of people using tipsy rom for a few years, since i tried it on my moto e lte phone back then, it's really a pretty clean distro. unfortunately, the one ported over in this post doesn't seem have any fingerprint scanning functionality in it, so that kind of chaps my satchel. didn't really like viper either. i'll try 'em all eventually, probably. i'm a compulsive flasher. i may need to update my titanium backup or something though, i haven't been able to restore accounts/data usage on any of these 7.1 roms so far. kinda sucks putting all that in manually because i have very secure passwords that i can't memorize very easily. the wifi passcodes and known networks restores, as well as my bluetooth pairings.

You're OK, it's great to hear feedback and I thank you. Yes, sometimes I have a cpl different versions of ROMs in AFH and indeed, did update it from v3.8.8 to v3.8.9. I change my DL links in my AndroidForums threads.. Not everything I upload to afh is recommended for flashing because some are experimental or have issues I haven't worked out so plz be careful, Lol.
Also, I've never had much success with aroma gapps on this device so I stuck with a smaller one like Nano gapps, plus I set every ROM flash up as a new device. Then usually DL everything else a bit later after a reboot or two (but that's me)
i wonder if aroma gapps had something to do with my call screen error. the other day, i think my dialer app vanished or something crazy because whenever i'd recieve a phone call; i had no way of answering it unless i was using a bluetooth device at the time, but i never saw the 'in-call' screen at any point. also, i couldn't call out either. it would start the call, because i'd see my signal icon change to something else, and the only response i could get from the call i was in is a popup that said something about "return to call in progress" but didn't return me to it. i tried a lot of stuff with the google dialer software, because i assumed it was an issue with that. i ended up just dumping that and trying tipsy and hexagon and viper at that point.

have you tried restoring a TWRP backup on this device yet? i've only restored a backup of AOSPEX, but when it's through and android finally boots back up to the lock screen, whatever type of screen lock i have on the phone is changed so that i am forced to factory reset my restored backup. lol
like i said, i haven't restored any other roms, but it does it with AOSPEX every single time. if i have a fingerprint, my fingerprints won't work. if it's a pattern, the pattern has changed, and same with a PIN as well. i've never seen that one before but it was so odd that i didn't even really get upset, i sort of found it amusing.

I read somewhere that it's part of a security feature of FRP (Factory Reset Protection) in all N+ ROMs and ya have to go to each ROM ya used and added a fingerprint lock, then remove the F-print. Always remove the stored prints before switching to a different ROM/OS

To fix your phone issue go to Settings>Apps>"Gear Icon">Phone App and select your current dialer.
What happens is if the dialer included in the ROM is replaced by gapps the new dialer isn't set as your default dialer. The ROM can't find the old dialer anymore so it just doesn't show anything.

i actually figured this one out a couple days later, while i was just browsing to see if it was missing some permissions, but thank you at any rate. good tip. it seems like if you back off of the scene for a little while, it's a little rough trying to relearn all the things that have been changed in android. i have been using an older moto e (the 2015 LTE model) for probably three or four years, and then onto a samsung j3 which was awful. so a lot of procedure and stuff like systemless modifications has changed. what happened to xposed man? lol

Xposed became an inherent & near guaranteed SafetyNet check fail so almost all ROMs removed it from source to reduce the bug posts caused by Xposed.. Since it can still be installed with a flashable zip and Magisk also has a systemless version Xposed to help reduce SafetyNet fails. MoKee ROM still had it built-in until recently and I'll be updating.. LOS, AOKP, MoKee, and something else as soon as I finish figuring out how to totally unbrick my owens. Had it booting from an sdcard the other day and messed something else up so I'm back to square 1 for the moment. Me, @SuperR. and our ole buddy goose03 trying to help make a fastboot flashable FW for 44-12 to finish the unbrick job. If Moto had this already available, our work would be cut in half, Lol. It's going slow but we're trying since more ppl need this than just us and it'd be a great help to the community.
So y'all swing by @SuperR. 's Kitchen threads and tell him thank you for his work, cuz without his kitchen we'd probably not have even gotten this far. He has 2 versions, free and Donate ($15) but the Donate version excels in capabilities, options, has many plugins and the Donate version is what I use.
