I tried one of the first CM11 snapshot builds on my HD but went back to 10.2.1 because Trebuchet seemed to be missing some features. Wondering if any of the most recent builds are fully functional for everyday use. I do mainly reading (using the Kindle app and FB Reader) and web browsing with Chrome.

Hands down M12 all the way. YMMV.

I am running M12 and pretty happy with it.
What features are you looking for in Trebuchet that are missing? You might want to consider some other Launchers, such as Nova.

Trebuchet is fine on 10.2.1. When I installed an early CM11 snapshot, some configuration options were missing that I used on 10.2.1 and that was a deal breaker for me. Maybe they've been put back in on the latest snapshots.

Could be. But since you didn't actually answer the question about what features you're wondering about.... Since you're the only one who knows what you're looking for, you'll just need to flash it and find out.
Nobody else can tell you because nobody else knows what you want. Good luck. And as somebody else pointed out, there are some great alternative launchers that probably have all the features you're looking for and then some.

I don't recall specifically what was missing but it was related to the overall home screen configuration options. I've tried other launchers and nothing works any better for me than Trebuchet.
You're right though, I'll just have to flash M12 and see how it looks.

Just so you know they changed the location for the options in Trebuchet over past versions. You need to hold down on home screen and when settings UI comes up, then swipe up. Can't have enough hidden stuff....
Just so everyone knows, you can download the Trickster Mod Kernel app and turn have the same, if not better LED functionality over a couple of the other ways to get it working. Plus, this is a good go-to app when kernels get released hopefully in the near future.
Settings>Specific>LED Control
Thought I'd share this because I feel it's better to have an app that features this type of thing rather than an app dedicated to only this type of thing.

Thanks for the info. A couple of questions:
1) It flashes the LED for notifications?
2) You've tried it and it works?

No it doesn't, there are a lot of options in Trickster other than battery charging/full, maybe about 10 options total and some I don't know what they do.
Either way, the battery LED does work, which other dedicated apps accomplished, but this is better since it's an everyday custom kernel app also.

Thanks for clarifying. And, again for posting this info.
Is there any working Alert Slider App or Mod out there to date? It seems like only custom Rom's feature it and i found myself pretty happy with OOS, i am Bootloader Unlocked, rooted and with TWRP, so if there is any1 who has found a way to change the Alert Slider to "Ring - Vibrate - Silence" please let me know.
Also Great Community here, you guys are all so nice and work so hard, keep it up guys!

....also looking for one that works on Nougat without xposed.

Resurrection Remix has a great implementation if you don't mind switching roms.

OH! Missed that! Well worth a try then!
Been using RR on my S5 and loved it.
Possibly a stupid question, but here goes...
Are there any mods or roms out there that let you set one of the positions as a flashlight toggle? I don't have any use for vibrate mode. I can't feel it in my pocket, and when in its case, I won't hear my phone vibrating on anything.
Thanks in advance

I know this an old thread, but I can't seem to find an answer anywhere.
I have a 3T(OOS OB15, Android 7.1.1), rooted with Magisk.
Do I need Xposed for this to work? If yes, can you link me to a guide on how to install it?
If no, do I just install this app? And what is the SELinux mode?
AOSPA Extended has a customisable Alert Slider function in settings
Good morning all, picked up this phone to test for my sons. I did root\debloat using the DirtyCow method. I wanted to use a better camera app so I installed the Google camera app which for me worked better. I uninstalled the native app. That broke ALL camera functions. Now no camera app works. Has anyone had this issue?

In a sort of kind of way.
In such that cm builds do not have a work in camera, and they do not have the stock app
Ooh can this be a breakthrough on the problem

This means that there are hooks between the camera and the OS that haven't been discovered yet. Earlier CM builds had this issue for other phones too. I'm not a developer but I know a little about code. I'll grab a Logcat to see if something jumps out at me.

I just tried to create same condition. By installing open camera and renaming myoscamera.apk to myoscamera.spk_
But the result was open camera still worked.
So what did you remove when you did it.?

As far as I know just the stock camera app. I used Titanium Backup too do it.

It is not supposed to be an issue with the app being used, and rather the libs for the camera. But I will continue to try things out in this direction. Hopefully will find some hidden lib being called by the stock app and not by other apps.

I am far from expert, I don't notice a connection to camera with these logcat entries.
I assume you did not make copy / backup before removing stock camera.
I think this recovery package should restore your camera.
It is files from v17 and v8.3 stock, you never said what version you were on. I can put up version for whichever one you have, since these should only work on v17 and v8.3

as long as you are not mistaken and you didn't also remove some other files. this is supposed to reinstall the stock camera app
if this doesn't fix it you should reinstall the OS

Unfortunately, installing the 6.6 zip didn't work for me. I tried to restore stock but I get am error when restoring 'system'. I'm just going to buy another and grab the image from it.

I was looking for them before I opened this topic. I am buying this phone for my sons so I was getting then anyway. I eventually want to learn to build roms and the plan is to start with this one.

Ok quick update: I did flash back to stock and the camera works fine now. I didn't remember how poor the camera quality is I still use some 8mp cameras but IMO this is bad.

Sadly you picked the wrong phone for learning development on, you need to choose another phone.
Blu has decided to lock this phone down, so future users won't even be able to root let alone flash custom firmware.
Even if Blu didn't the development is dead on this device anyway. This phone using Sony camera which no one has been able to get to work on custom ROMs.
One can port to another ROM provided that donor phone also uses Sony camera.
This is 100% the wrong phone to try and learn to develop on.
Best phones for beginners are Nexus and Samsung, simply cause more developer's have these phones, so they have the time to teach.
Phone with few developers are not meant for beginners to learn from, the less developers a device has the less time anyone has to teach.
As far as I know I am the only developer on my current device, it's a good phone, but I don't have to time to teach beginners, that's why I recommended Samsung or Nexus.

Actually, I have plenty of time to learn. The fact that this device has been difficult to work with is the challenge I want. I absolutely don't like Samsung and everybody works with Nexus. If I fail then so be it. At least I'll learn what not to do.

Good luck then, if you have one of the locked preloaders you will learn very soon what not to do.

I am not a fan of Google, don't mind side loading and I really don't want them in my phone. Any chance there's a solid rom without gapps, ideally with a working camera.
Thanks for any help or suggestion!
Somebody, anybody, everybody please!!! Seriously, anything simple and easy?
Yes there is, LineageOS. Look in the original android development section
