[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] truth57:
Hi there.....first of all, thank you devs for all the work you have put into this ROM, I can see that it is going to be the best out there, once these few bugs are ironed out. At this point, I don't think that I even want to try another ROM, because this seems to have it all.

However - I have a few issues with this version so far that I would like to mention:

1. Very occasionally SOD.....when the phone is not being used, I go to wake the phone up and find that it is completely dead. But once I manage to get it to boot again, surprisingly the battery level seems OK, so that wasn't the cause. I think some processes cause the phone to hang, then it will crash. An example - I had just finished using the Navigation program, but could not actually quit the program. The phone went to the lock screen with the app still running, but subsequently crashed, telling me that the battery level was low. Yet when it re-booted it showed 54% charge....strange, don't you think?

2. I have tried just about every means to get my Ext4 partition recognized. Neither a2sd nor S2E nor Link2sd are able to 'see' and access the partition, and even though I mount it in CWM, when the phone boots up - no Ext4 partition. I am sure I am missing something here, but even having read all the information I have been able to find, I just find it too confusing to know precisely what I need to do to get it working. I consider myself to be more or less computer savvy, but I am very new to Linux/Android, and have no idea about programming and using scripts, and most of the guides involve one or the other.

This is driving me nuts! I already have most of my apps installed, which is a time consuming process that I would prefer not having to repeat just to get this working - I don't want to repeat the reinstallation process again before there is a final version available for download - however the apps are all on my FAT32 partition. I need to find a way of moving them to the Ext4 partition in a non-destructive way. The only thing I haven't yet tried apart from that is the script method mentioned a couple of posts back. I don't want to use the a2sd froyo method, as it slows the response time and boot up time is also very slow compared to the Link2sd method. The time it takes to redraw the screen and icons is not acceptable once a2sd moves the apps to the SD partition. Link2sd also does not break the widgets, and when I use the Dual Mount SD app in conjunction with this, even when connected to the PC via USB I have access to all my apps while I am reading the content of the SD card on the PC, with no effect upon the system.

3. When I first flashed the ROM, I searched everywhere for the 'Memo' app, but realized that it wasn't installed. I think that this is a real oversight on the part of Cyanogen, as a note taking app on a smartphone is so essential, I really don't understand how they could release a ROM without at least some sort of substitute!

I realize that it is not the best note taking app out there, but it is very unfortunate for me, as I backed up a whole load of notes with Titanium, but cannot restore them without the app itself, nor have I been able to successfully extract the app from another ROM - it won't install. Can you offer me a solution please?

4. Another small gripe is that during calls, the screen sensor causes the screen to change between blacked out and visible, despite my settings, which it seems the system is not obeying.....
