My quick but not quite done report.

Just installed, as recommended. I did a backup via Rom Manager, then booted to CWRecovery via RM. Factory wipe (i.e. wipe data/cache) and then format /system. Then installed rom and (stock 04/16) gapps. Reboot within CWR.

"USB Connected" now shows in the notification bar, so as far as I know, no need for the addition of the UsbMassStorage.apk to this rom (or gapps as I had done before)

After the reboot and signing back into my google account my phone is now restoring a boat load of my apps, so further reports will have to wait a while, at least from me, since in my previous experience, it is best to just let the apps restore run it's course; though it has been quite a while since I've had a rom do this automatically.

Thanks kfazz.

i flashed the oc kernal on the new build and i could NOT CHARGE IT

It wouldnt read the battery i guess it said it was at 0
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
over clocked kernel is not compatible with new build. sorry, this was my bad.

the kernel in the new build is already overclock enabled.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachf714:
Hey can we possibly get the onscreen navigation keys like on the Galaxy Nexus
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
its fine i wasnt complaining haha the new build is awsome. it just scared me haha. also the kernal samepage merging doesnt work. i clicked on it but it goes away if i hit the back button and go back to memory management.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] joeroid:
dont need on screen keys

we already have same functions with softkeys on phone. It would b pointless waste of screen space. Besides kfazz has other issues he is working on so don't ask for too much b happy he has not abandoned the project like so many others have.

Thanks again kfazz after I get paid Friday I plan on buying you a beer. How exactly do I donate to you I don't have a paypal account?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Well, I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but it _might_ have to do with my apps restore?

Anyways. after my install of the 07/02 and 04/16 untouched gapps with the subsequent google play restoration of all my apps as detailed, I am still getting black pictures both with the 5m and 4m [wide] settings on camera. Perhaps for me, I need to forgo the 'automatic' restoration of my apps and do it manually?

My further report.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
no, its not that. some files got left out of that build. the camera isn't working atm.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Nate456:
There is a guide in the Android Software Development forum it's fairly easy to do it.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
how in the world are you all getting ur apps to redownload automatically mine wont do it
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] metalspring:
Titanium backup or other non market restores tend to break market restore

You can try manually redownloading them from play store and it might fix it
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
ok for some reason it will never redownload the apps for me i have to do it manually all the time and i dont have titanium backup installed yet but the folder is on sd card
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachf714:
Alright thanks for the Answer

Can you give me a link
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachf714:
I cant get it to compile can you try and upload it

Edit... I actually got it to work
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Nate456:
How do you like the oversize lockscreen:D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] low saturn:
I haven't seen it mentioned, but when I installed this, the Google Play store crashes and I get warnings that the clock has stopped working. The Google Play thing doesn't really bother me since all I use my D1 for is an alarm clock. But having the clock stop working is kind of a bummer. Mostly since it didn't wake me up this morning.

So I guess my question is, is it an issue that still needs to be resolved or should I reinstall?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
I haven't seen the clock issue, but I've had the Google Play store crash on me before when I flashed a new build of a rom. In order to fix it, I reflashed the gapps. let me know if that works for you.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] low saturn:
I was about to edit my post to say I reflashed gapps and all is good with that. Now just the clock issue.

I'll keep checking here for updates. Hopefully a newer version will fix it. Either way, its still impressive this thing is running ICS. I dont even have it on my Bionic yet.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Thanks kfazz. I did some more testing today and even though the camera and gps are broken, almost everything else works much better than previous builds. I still couldn't get my weatherbug widget on my screen, but that might be weatherbug's fault, or more (my) operator error. The 1% battery and USB mounting seems to be fixed just fine.

Overall though, my take on the 0702 release is good. It seems to be much more responsive. I only clocked it to 250/800 ondemand and without V6. And the touchscreen issues that were previously reported seem to be better as well.

Keep up the good work, and I guess this is my report.

I have a tiny request, not important. You are using prime's kernel which supports CPU temp for Dustinmj's temp monitor program, but it doesn't work in this rom
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
lol.

and was the clock issue there on previous builds? Cause I'm having no such issue. Try wiping and reflashing. That sometimes fixes problems I have with custom roms.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
new build in OP

link: http://www.mediafire.com/file/guo6leourklgzgq/cm-9-20120703-UNOFFICIAL-sholes.zip

camera and camcorder working, pano still kinda buggy

no flash
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
When you say no flash, do you mean when taking pictures or even for flashlight apps? I am on the 6/20 and the torch app works fine, with the led light turning on. Thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
the new build is alot faster
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
ten min and ill update it
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
torch works
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] idreamer24:
I didn't get to test previous builds but when i press the home button it doesn't do anything. is that normal?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] alienbiker99:
just updated my phone to the newest build. clean flashed. usb is working for me.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
Just flashed. Great build, just needs GPS again. lol...anyways so happy! Thanks Kfazz. It's a lot faster.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
just flashed the new build camera works great and also usb storage is working fine for me also
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] low saturn:
I only tried the three previous builds and the clock had issues. But I did try wiping and reflashing this morning at your suggestion and it works now. Thanks. I have my Droid alarm clock back !! :)
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Testing 0703 build with 0416 gapps. USB mas storage works natively, camera works and saves pics.

What happened to Launcher settings?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
It shows up for me when I set Apex Launcher as default, but not with Trebuchet as default
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
I thought this rom only shipped with Trebuchet?

Also, I thought I'd throw this out about GPS. I opened up GPS Status and though it took a bit, according to the app I got satelite locks on all available sats here.

Oh and what am I thinking! Happy 4th to you US folks! Especially you kfazz!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
Yes. You are correct.

But anyways, I got Apex from the playstore.

Happy 4th of July!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
I switched back to aosp launcher, it uses about 8m less ram.

If you copy trebuchet.apk from a previous build and reboot they'll show up.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Thx, I'll try that. Also even though auto rotate is set, the home screen doesn't. Not that big a deal, just wondering if this has to do with AOSP vs. Trebuchet launcher, since this is built from CM source.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
Awesome build! just one question...How do I change the boot animation? thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kaptinkrunk:
Manually move it

Meh Fascinating Unicorn Devil TABLET
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Maybe I am overthinking this. I tried what you suggested two ways. One way was to use SUFBS to copy Trebuchet.apk to /system/app and then chmod it to 644; reboot That didn't work. So I removed it from /system/app and rebooted, then tried just installing it via my file browser (to /data/app) and then rebooted, still no dice.

What I am looking for is where I used to see Launcher settings was under menu -> System Settings -> interface. That is where I/we could set the amount of home screens and remove the google search bar.

But from my small knowledge I think by looking there I am actually in settings.apk. So now what? Also copy the settings.apk from the 0702 build?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] zachf714:
A actually have no problems and i made the button size perfect
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
Do you know where I can get the CM 9 boot logo? Thanks

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
My video camera on this build was working fine. Suddenly now, its freezing the phone up when I try to stop recording and I have to do a battery pull. Anyone else having this issue? thanks

Edit: reflashed ics build. Video camera now works fine on sd mode, but freezes phone often on hd mode.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
not here...

no, my camera's still working... weird they say flash wasn't working but mine is.............. I do have the green lines mention as well though... haven't tried camcorder though I'm sure it's working too xD!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
my flash is working also but it kicks on and off early
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
Thanks. The reason I asked was because I saw somewhere on this thread that the boot animation has to be under a certain number of MBs for it to work. lol
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
oh yea... about that!!!

It did, on a previous kernels that used system/media instead of data/local.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Just for kicks, I doubt the kernel had anything to do with it, _maybe_ an idiosyncrasy within one of these builds required only /system/media.

When the A855 was released and _before_ we had root, the only place to put a custom bootanimation.zip file was in /data/local. Then once we had root, we could also mount /system rw and put it into /system/media copying over whatever one was there. If there was not a bootanimation.zip file in the rom, the one you see on kfazz's would play and where it is, who knows?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
i believe the "Android" boot logo is actually part of the bootanimation binary
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
And there it is there. From the master. And I see it within /system/bin. Thanks.

---------- Post added at 07:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:23 PM ----------

Now that I'm done expounding all my non wisdom on bootanimation.zip files; I'll move on to a further in-depth review of the 0703 build with 0416 gapps now that I've been actually using it for ~ 24 hours.

Everyone's phone is different and everyone runs different apps/widgets, so YMMV. I went ahead and installed and setup Apex today. I like it allot, but it might have some bearing on the performance issues I will post later.

Camera, USB mounting and GPS works. I used GPS status, Maps, Oruxmaps and Nav today and they all zeroed right into my location with tracking as well, so kfazz, that might not be broken after all.

I still have some long re-draws, and sometimes certain apps just close as others have reported. Nav and browser just 'closed' on me today. Sometimes the app drawer just closes, and sometimes it's other spurious apps. These are not force closing with a notification, I have had that as well, but I just hit the "wait" button when that happens and the app will eventually respond again.

My performance settings: CPU 800/250 ondemand, Surface dithering disabled, 16bit enabled, zRam disabled, Allow purging enabled, Kernel samepage disabled. Lock Apex in memory disabled. And trust me, today I played with all those settings and for me these seem to be best.

IMHO, for testing this rom it is bad enough that I am using Apex, so I have yet to try the V6Supercharger.

Oh the only other thing I can think of is that I am using link2sd with a FAT32 partition on my sdcard to run the larger non-widget/non-system apps from.

So, for me this is just about a daily driver since I don't care about camcorder, but some more tweaking to memory management? I _might_ try V6, but that seemed to be a somewhat placebo some times; so therefore would rather see what more this rom could do 'stock'.

There, did I get it all out yet? LOL.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
Ahh and one tiny final note. The patches that kfazz did to the kernel and using the defy batt.d file to get the 1% battery reporting (at least for me) will definately tell you whether you have an OEM battery or not.

Earlier today I switched out to my inexpensive POS ebay supposedly OEM (probably chinese) that has never lasted more than 8 hours and given me all kinds of other grief; battery, and it kept reporting 100%, but discharge rate was unknown. And then suddenly it just quit, powering off the phone but when I plugged into an OEM charger it would power up and start to charge and finish soon; yet upon unplugging, bye, bye phone.

Now I am running my high dollar Mugen 3300 yet with similar results as far as battery reporting. It is staying at 100% with and "unknown" message in battery stats.

Rebooting to CWRecovery and wiping battery stats did not change it.

And now I'm done. You hope.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
Just tried out GPS myself. Looks like it does work. Camcorder works too, as long as I'm using SD mode.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] 600914:
I'm on the same boat...tried wiping battery stats too but no dice.

Went back to cm7.2
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
i think the rom is using the cpu wrong. i had to clock it at 125-600 so it would stop over heating. and when i look at what the processor is running it always says 550 but im using the on demand perimeter. i dont know if i did something. is anyone else having this problem? and my usb works now after a clean install. Great work kfazz
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
Busted... You Got Me! lol...

There were alot of problems, where to began...? The reason I thought one of the kernel's only used system/media is because I compress a zip animation(zip setting in winrar set to best) and it did not work in data/local but did in system/media, the kernel or whatever not sure but whatever governs the amount of space in system/media only had about 10mb of free space and with cm9 bootanimation being 12mb there was a problem. So I edited it a little to make it under 10mb so it would work in either directory and put it in a post saying it would work on previous kernel's with the 10mb system/media directory.

I only compressed it like that for one reason, because you can only attach zip files under 11.8mb on xda forums. So I compressed the file to 9.7mb it didn't work in data/local but did in system/media. I was so naive I didn't check the official cm9 bootanimation.zip to see if it work in data/local, but I checked it later and found that it did indeed work in both, you just can't compress the bootanimation at all. It's just stored in a zip container, So if I would have edited the image files to about 10mb and then stored the files as a zip(no compression at all) it would have worked in both directories.

To solve the xda attachment file problem I just uploaded the cm9 bootanimation.zip to mediafire and posted the link... think that's what I'm do from now on when I share up here...

So anyways tired of typing. I Was Wrong. I LITERALLY don't know s**t about kernels or building roms to be honest, just what a pickup from you guys on this fourm. And when I hear ya talk about something and research/google it:D
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] chungyn:
Heya, I've tried searching this thread but I can't find much relevant results about it. I've installed the 2012-07-03 build of this ROM yesterday on my Droid 1, it's working fantastic, but there is one major issue i've noticed: it doesn't seem to contain an English dictionary so auto-correction hints on the keyboard aren't working and almost every word is marked as spelled incorrectly.

Is there a dictionary I can install to the phone or is this feature just not implemented yet?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
i put it in data/local as it was (12.3mb) and it worked fine
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
I didn't quote your whole post to save space. And I don't really know much more than you about building, but I am still trying to learn as are you. And I have done a LOT of reading and have a LOT more to go. I try to follow an adage in one person's signature, "read more, post less".

When I do share something that I feel pretty sure that I _do_ know, I hope I am not coming off as a smugmug, I just wish to share what I _think_ I know for the readers.

And to kfazz about what I have shared about this work of yours. I hope when I post detailed stuff about the things that don't work/or I don't like that you don't take it like I am not appreciative of your work; I am. The title still says pre-alpha, and I try it out as such therefore I feel as though the wonky/not quite working stuff should be detailed. When the stuff works, what other detail does one need?

With that in mind, man this thing is close, but last night after running this rom for a couple of days, I just got so tired of pressing buttons and waiting forever for apps or actions to take place that I almost threw my phone across the room. Reverting to the stock launcher only slightly lessened this. This morning I applied V6 and that only fixed it for a while. I even reverted back again to the stock AOSP launcher, but my phone kept getting more and more unresponsive.

You've got most everything else working on this rom, it is getting so close I can taste it. Keep up the good work and THANK YOU.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
My phone is a bit laggy too. Sometimes I need to do a battery pull, but it's sort of manageable for now.

And also, I'm having an issue with Links2sd. I have around 96 MB free space. when I reboot my phone, it goes down 24 MB and I get that low storage space notification, and I have to relink all the apps on sd to get rid of that notification and have 96 MB free again. anyone else having that problem? thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] teddyearp:
I did not notice any problems as you describe or otherwise using link2sd with this rom.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
intermittent lag is caused by out of memory killer killing background tasks and them constantly restarting

clean install, depending on settings say 99M to 80m free

DSPmanager takes 5-6mb (and crashes all the time, is it broken? removed it from current test build)

gapps (goodle services, media, and play store) eats ~25 mb

maps itself takes another 10

if you have facebook theres another 11

these things run all the time in the background so it becomes a constant struggle between oom killer and background services.

so if you open Browser it wants about 50Mb and all these are running something gets killed, then you press home and it lags...

i'm looking into methods for working around this such as zram (formerly compcache) or killing the services when they aren't being used, but for now, it's probably better to not use gapps and just sideload whatever you need, while paying attention to ram use
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
is there anyway we can get a file manager in the next build? or a file manager in update.zip format. ive looked for one in update.zip but cant find it. if we had that we wouldnt need gapps. i prefer not using gapps to save space. does anyone have a file manager in .zip format?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
hmm...in that case I guess I'm experiencing a weird glitch.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
only thing i do is just add it to the update.zip and it installs it never had a problem with it crashing anything
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
I didn't know you could do That!!!

so you add it to the rom build...? like in system/apps inside the install file...:confused:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lwilli:
also

kfazz you were right, your 6/20 build lasts about 3 times longer on battery life. Also with v6 supercharge and that kernel being able to be overclocked to 1200mhz it's the fastest yet... even overclocked at 1200mhz the battery lasts 2 to 3 times longer...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Prack:
I'd love to be able to go to 1300 like I was on GPA19 Rom by Peter Alphonso.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
yes sorry i forgot to specify

PS: i can agree that with the 6/20 build my battery life was better and it go even better after i did the v6, the new build i loose 25% within 5 hrs of just idle
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] joeroid:
blue led

How do you change the notification led colors? I really like the blue for missed calls and would like to make it blue for texts. Are there any other colors?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] Kyle Chen:
Did anyone find out how to fix the autocorrect thing which was missing a dictionary or something like that? thanks
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] robert anderson:
i fixed my over heating problem. it was because of the kernal same page merging
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kfazz:
i'm removing ksm, it only saves 3mb of ram anyway
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wolf45801:
ok hows the build coming was you able to get any other features working?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ASAM123:
I noticed one thing. The more apps I have, the slower my phone gets. My phone with this build was getting sluggish, so I did a factory reset and it was fast again. After restoring my apps, my phone became sluggish again to a point where sometimes I have to do a battery pull cause the phone freezes, even though I have around 15-75 MB ram free most of the time.
