Known lacking stuff and issues with RR JB 3.0

I'm using RR JB 3.0.1 PREVIEW as daily driver and I'm noticing a few things that are lacking/don't work when compared to last 2.6.1 ICS version.

I'm creating this post to list what's lacking in this newest cutting-edge JB release so that people can just decide if they want to install it or not. Maybe something is just a detail for someone but is a showstopper for another if it is not working.

I won't list JB vs ICS differences or kernel differences here. Just the ROM stuff that's different. Also remember to read the FAQ. It has some workarounds, if there's a fix there I won't list it as difference here.

Remember that some apps are just incompatible with JB and won't work until the developer of the APP updates it. I won't list all incompatible 3rd party apps here, there are too many. Example, if you restore the game "temple run" on your JB it will fail to load your data so you have to start from scratch.

If you want to test ResurrectionRemix 3.0.1 JB in your phone without losing your 2.6.1 stuff you can also set up a dual-boot between them. See this guide on how to do that.

VISUAL/SMOOTHNESS

It is very smooth, but not buttery smooth as if project butter were working, I can see some small lags in animation

Some visual artifacts, like white boxes showing up when dragging screen around.

There is no theme selection screen anymore

Sometimes when locking the device you can quickly see the lockscreen after the CRT animation is over, before screen turns off

Sometimes when awaking the device you can quickly see the homescreen before lockscreen shows up

Sometimes when the screen goes off and you reawake it quickly with home button, it also sends current app to background instead of just turn on screen

No way to edit DPI in the rom settings; Workaround: Use some third party app to edit it or edit /system/etc/build.prop directly with some root enabled file manager.

lockscreen is off centre when you change dpi to < 200

You can't center the clock

No tweaking on automatic brightness levels

TOGGLES

I'm assuming you installed the extra toggle fix in first post, otherwise many more toggles will be missing

No toggle 2G button in notification

No brightness toggle in notification (workaround in the FAQ)

BUILT-IN APPS

Lots of settings missing in R-ROM Control - No lockscreen options, almost no statusbar settings, no power menu options, no weather...

Youtube ForceCloses when you touch volume, try to pair it with a tv, and at random when using other apps. Workaround is in the FAQ.

JB camera options are lacking many stuff and you can't choose where to save the pictures. workaround: install another camera

Also there's no easy way to turn off the camera sounds, the option in the sound menu doesn't work. workaround: delete or rename the sounds from /system/media/audio/ui using some root-enabled file manager

Camera also doesn't detect pictures in your internal card

Music player doesn't show some songs in SD Card

MISC

Wifi hotspot AP doesn't work with security (WPA etc) you must use unsecured hotspot for now.

SD card mounts in /extSdCard instead of /emmc or /externalsd and there's no easy way to change that for now. workaround: RemountSD app but you have to edit the paths to match

sound over bluetooth is not working

In ROM Control, AM/PM style there's a ProTekk O'Clock option that sets clock to 99:99 :confused:

No lockscreen settings at all

Pressing menu on lockscreen unlocks phone without need for swipe

No unmount SD card option

UMS doesn't work properly

GOOD STUFF

To be fair, I will list new stuff that is working here, and wasn't working before. Not new features.

Black Contacts app edit contact birthday and other events now work fine, though it shows a weird message instead of OK in the button.

If you want something added you can PM me. I will add it if it is confirmed by lots of people or if I can reproduce it myself. Not new feature bugs, only differences between 2.6.1 and 3.0.1 will be added.

Here's a video review of 3.0 so you can see for yourself: http://androidroot.org/watch_video.php?v=G3O212N14SYB#
