[LG Optimus Black] redy2006:
Finally, awaiting few moments for more stable CM71 SelfKang by Ricardo "arcee" Cerqueira, I decided to upgrade my OB with CM7.1 SelfKang 7-2, after read a major known issues were fixed.

I'm not using my OB to record video (yet), so I ignored the last known issues and flashing it... Here my review with CyanogenMod (only first day using it).

Flashing CM7.1 SK7-2, add google-apps 20110613 Universal. (remove knzo kernel v0.1-beta).

CPU Governor set to InteractiveX.

Installed new app: AdFree, AntTek App Manager, Asphalt 5, BetterBatteryStatus, CPU Master, File Expert, Fruit Slice, LanDroid, Quadrant Standard, ROM Manager, Skype, Smart Keyboard, SMS Backup and Restore, SystemPanel App, UberSocial Twitter, WhatsApp, and XDA Apps.

System is stable for my "major" daily usage: Call, SMS, WhatsApp, UberTwitter, Browser, and JotaTextEditor.

Smooth enough for playing game Asphalt 5 and Fruit Slice.

Camera works perfectly front/back. Not trying the video recording yet.

Highest Quadrant Score: 2344 (with knzo kernel).

+Add gabwerkz tweaks but I had no effect yet, Highest Quadrant Score: 2485 (with stock CM71).

Longest day alive from 100% battery to dead: 1d 5h 38m 5s.

My issues: (with original kernel CM71-SK7-2)

Date and time settings can't set Automatic (network-provided values). With Stock/Nova8 it's normal.

Changing theme with Theme Chooser, from System to Cyanbread, I lost Google Account, and had to set again.

Gallery sometimes look hang on loading for a long time without showing images.

Skype still doesn't work with front/back camera, even with Skype custom build from theos0o. +I think it happen with most Android that not verified to work yet with Skype.

Select "Use only 2G networks" but indicator still shows 3G. I think it still issues for the indicator. Also when I return from "dead-condition", power on, the settings was gone ("Use only 2G networks" not selected) it doesn't happen with Stock/Nova8.

Before connecting Wifi, first it must set to channel 13. (I don't know if this CM issues or my AP, but I never set channel on Stock/Nova ROM).

There are high process with AlarmManager (see screenshots). It raise up to 8.3% (WTH is that?!). Checked with BetterBatteryStats and BatteryHistory.

+Install "Blue Theme for CyanogenMod" and change it via Theme Chooser, makes few application hang, and then ADW Launcher hang. Reboot, and got bootloop.

Issues with knzo kernel:

Long booting time, delayed almost 1+ minutes.

Front Camera problem: reversed up-down. Back Camera normal. Taking picture normal.

Trying the known issues: Change mode to video, it crash, Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding, force-closed. When open it again, Camera error: cannot connect to camera. So I can't use camera, rebooting device to solved the case. Here's the log. But it does work with original kernel of CM71.

Vibration doesn't work. But it works with original kernel CM7.

Screenshots (resized):

Question:

What is Alarm Manager (Android System)? As far as I know, that caused battery drain.

I only have Quadrant Score max 2344 a few times test, how can others have up to 3000+?

Okay for now, another information will posted later.

This is my personal review, so how about yours?

Perhaps you can also share your review here...

Thanks.
