So today i updated to 5.0.2 since 5.0 had problems, and indeed it fixed my Camera.
Though i'm not really sure if i like the new keyboard vibrations. I'll get used to it i guess

I already had keyboard vibrations in 4.x

. What is new since 5.0.1 btw?

Snektron · February 08, 2015, 05:18:35 PM

Yeah there were also new ones in 5.0.0
in 5.0.2:
- Changes to internal alarms
- Changes in the TRIM process
- Few bug fixes.
I don't know about 5.0.1, but i believe some memory leaks were fixed

I know 5.0.1 fixed the bug causing the phone to go into a reboot loop when charging, which only happened if the French Canadian language was set. It also suppisedly fixes battery draining issues, but some people reported that it actually makes them worse.

Snektron · February 08, 2015, 06:58:18 PM

Well since i upgraded from my broken 4.4 rom i don't really have any battery problems

It's very random IIRC. It will only happen to certain people. A reformat is required to fix it, IIRC.

Very strange error though.

I'm waiting for CM12, I like Cyanogen a lot since I had to switch to (it's the original ROM for One Plus One) and I feel Vanilla is too plain and does't have enough customisation/tweaks to fully enjoy the experience. Right now I forgot my charger away from home and being not able to charge its battery, I downcloked the phone to max 6000Mhz + regular battery economy things and I have now the idle autonomy of a classic Nokia (-1% battery during the whole night, neeeeat).

I already have CM12 and i love it. CM is one of the best ROM's hands down, if not the best.
But it's actually quite suprising how big the One S community is on forums like XDA. You'd
expect such an old model to be long gone. No one has an One X anymore.

Duke "Tape" Eiyeron · February 09, 2015, 08:15:33 AM

But they have a certain curious diplomacy. They almost killed the OPO CM support because tensions created by OP as they released their phones in a country they signed to not ship with CM built-in.

Snektron · February 09, 2015, 08:18:55 AM

I like how they are independent and Google tried to buy them. Luckily they didn't
get bought though, else the whole point of CM would be gone and surely would have
lost most of their users.

Dream of Omnimaga · February 09, 2015, 11:25:57 PM

Yeah true. After all, people are switching to CM for a reason. There is something missing in Android that makes people use hacks, alternate OSes or other things to enhance their experience.

Snektron · February 10, 2015, 06:43:37 AM

Well for most people the reason is most brands put gigabytes of bloatware (unwanted apps) on their phones. I believe the Galaxy s5 has like 6gb.

CKH4 · February 10, 2015, 12:21:33 PM

6 on the note 3 aswell (including the os). I think that companies shouldn't be allowed to blockuuninstallation of apps that wouldn't brick the phone (like everything except for the system processes and the settings app).

I really dislike CyanogenMod for their diplomacy. I really hate them for it. But their ROMs are truly great.
