Changelog:
Code:
[B]September 23, 2016[/B]
- Fixed reboot issues.
- Fixed lags from not needed libraries and kernel commits.
- Added IMS and VoIP support. (Needs testing)
- Fix rmnet (data) issues.
- Dalvik/ART optimizations. Now ROM is more smooth.
- Removed extra governors/io schedulers.
(The provided governors in OC kernels for J5 are for Exynos devices,
so they need extra configuration to be adapted to Snapdragon devices.
Until then, we will use the stock and trusted ones,
but keep overclocking to be enabled by a userspace application).
- Many kernel fixes.
- Framework fixes.
- Audio enhancements.
- Added audio echo cancellation support (AEC) for in-calling audio.
- Added Wifi-Direct and Screen Cast/HDMI support in kernel. (Needs testing)
- Added Volume wake and Home button wake support.
(You can enable/disable these features from Settings->Buttons)
- Merged with latest CM Changes.
[B]September 8, 2016[/B]
- Removed On-Screen-Buttons implementation.
(Currently we don't have an implementation for hard disabling touch-keys in kernel.)
- Kernel fixes.
- Attempt to fix reboot issues and data problems for [B]G[/B] and [B]H[/B] variant.
- Removed KernelAdiutor
[B]September 2, 2016[/B]
- Added OC in kernel and fixes for frequency ladder. (0.2 to 1.8 GHz)
- Added a lot of governors and I/O schedulers.
- Added KernelAdiutor as a built-in application for tweaking parameters.
- Added DayDream support by default.
(It is a screensaver feature for Android.
You can choose your preference in Settings -> Display & lights -> DayDream)
- PowerHAL fixes.
- Disabled compression of camera images, set quality of Encoder to 100% and increase memCap *4.
(Image sizes are larger, and have better quality)
- Added On-Screen-Buttons implementation similar to qemu.hw.mainkeys=1.
(You can use software keys for Back/Menu/Options, by enabling it on the first setup screen.
Main keys will be permanently disabled)
- Merged with latest CM Changes.
[B]August 20, 2016[/B]
- Excluded InputDisabler from build. (Not needed from now on as we found the root of the cause)
- Screen on/off lag reduction. (WIP)

- Added option to secure unmount external SD before removal.
- Added option to record in-call voice for all regions.
- CPU speed/responsiveness optimizations.
- SELinux denial fixes for other variants too.
- Switched to SELinux enforcing, minized kernel messages and ADB secure (needs su command from now on).
- Optimized latency for audio HAL. No drop-outs from now on.
- Audio effect optimizations. Sound is more crisp.
- Excluded zRAM.
(zRAM caused not needed CPU overhead and heat issues when on Full Brightness+Mobile Data+GPS)
- TWRP bug-fixes.
- Kernel fixes.
- Merged with latest CM Changes.
- Updated stable release name to 2.0.0

Tips :
To activate Developer settings : Settings -> About phone -> press Build number 7 times.
To activate 3-way reboot go to Developer settings and select "Advanced reboot".
Root is included and disabled by default, enable it from Developer settings - Root access.
BusyBox is included.
LiveDisplay is a feature for adapting display colors for night usage.
You can enable it by turning on GPS and data/wifi for some seconds.
Then go to Settings -> Display & lights -> LiveDisplay -> Display mode and change from off to automatic.
Then your phone will know when to adjust your display for night usage through your local GMT zone.
You can also adjust Color Temperature for Day/Night modes.​

@Nick Verse Very good work and thanks to the update several bugs were fixed, but something happened, flash of the camera does not work well. Taking photo with flash front dark leaves that mistake but I could see in the build 9 of vaserbanix. I hope this report will help to upgrade future and thank you again for the good work. Sorry for my bad English translator use. Regards

In order to prevent touch during calls, press the power button and it should keep your phone locked until you finish your call. It works for me.

@Nick Verse your md5 files still have full path, you can try the following command to generate md5 files recursively:
in zsh
Code:
for i in **/*(/D) ; do ( cd $i ; for j in *(.D) ; do md5sum $j > $j.md5 ; done ) ; done
in bash run this script
Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [ $# -ne 1 ] ; then
echo "Usage $0 [directory]"
exit 1
fi
find $1 -type f -print0 | while IFS= read -r -d $'\0' file; do
(
cd "$(dirname "$file")"
filename="$(basename "$file")"
md5sum "$filename" > "$filename".md5
)
done

Thank you for your report. The .md5 files are generated from the CyanogenMod source build itself.

You must have Lollipop baseband/modem, otherwise things won't work. Make sure you have updated to official 5.1.1 first if you are on Android 6.0.
