This is a list of known bugs of the various development ROMs. Features that are missing, such as an FM radio or Preferences in the Launcher, but are not part of the base AOSP, are not considered to be bugs.

Note: I started from b6r1, which was the first version closest to a workable, stable version. Let me know of any corrections or additions.

Apologies (5-Jan-12): I've not been able to keep up with the rate of ROMs produced, so I'm not updating this report until I either have a bit more time (I'm back at work) or the pace slows down a bit. :-(
