Special Credits to

cayniarb, Rapmv78, rmcc, shaky156 & texasice/drewis and more.

Also to the CyanogenMod team whose source this ROM is based on.

Any donations should go to the people on this list.

Also thanks to

Meaple and xxsashixx for hosting download mirrors

BigWhoop for lending me time on a much faster compile server

Attention

If your phone boots fine the first time after flashing the ROM, but get stuck on boot after the first reboot. Remove battery or press "Vol-down+trackpad+power" and hard-reboot the phone. After this it should work just fine.

Missing Features

Stable Video Recorder (The correct hack works, but needs a bit of work)

-------------------------------------------------

The CM9 source is still under development. Some things will be missing, and others might at times be unstable. Do not post questions about missing CM stuff or empty settings placeholders. And remember that this ROM, like the source it's based on, is not a final release.

Bug Reporting

This is how you do a proper report on a problem. Do not go to the thread and write "My phone does not work". It is useless information that can be used for absolutely nothing other than for us to respond "To bad".

Instead you should provide proper information about what your issue is about, how/when it happened and possibly provide a logcat and/or partition/mount information when this seams needed.

We do not have access to your device, we cannot see what you see, so without proper information we have no way of knowing or finding out what caused your problem. Only you have the possibility of accessing the necessary information.

Known issues

Device seams ded. It does not wake when pressing the buttons?

Go to Settings->Performance->Processor and change Governor to SmartassV2

-------------------------------------------------

Certain apps does not show in app drawer?

Go to app settings, locate your missing app, force close, delete data/cache and reboot.

Type "fix_permissions" and reboot.

-------------------------------------------------

Some google apps gives permission problems?

Look for a notification about granting permission, grant this and restart the app. Some times 2 or 3 restarts are needed.

-------------------------------------------------

Market download problems?

Open app settings. Go to Market, force close, clear data/cache, reboot to recovery, clear dalvik-cache.

-------------------------------------------------

Market payment problems?

Delete your credit card information for your google account and re-add them.

HBoot

This ROM needs at least 180mb on the /system partition. You can use BlackRose to re-partition your internal nand

Warnings!!!

Do not restore app data from old Gingerbread backups (APK's are OK but not the app related data)

Titanium backup can produce problems when used to restore apps. Make sure that this is not the case before writing bug reports

Do NOT setup your sdcard (Fat32) partition using CWM Recovery. This will produce a lot of different problems along the way do to a bug in the recovery. Use 4EXT Recovery instead

The sd-ext partition should be no more than max 1.5GB in size. More than this can produce issues

A2SD Scripts

Mounts2SD

This is a highly costimizeable script that is made to work with any type of device with any type of ROM. It comes with both shell controlls and a GUI Settings menu with the native settings of this ROM

You can use the commad "m2sd <command> <value>" to alter configurations from the shell. Use "m2sd help" to get all available options.

The GUI Settings menu can be located at Settings->Performance->Mounts2SD

Mounts2SD Home

Init.d

This ROM comes with Enhanced Init.d

Kernel & Ramdisk

If you flash another kernel, do not flash an entire boot.img but only zImage. Otherwise you will break Wifi among other things as this ROM is build with custom modifications to the dhcpcd control which is build-in to the ramdisk.

KSM Memory Management

Do to heavy memory load with OpenGL support, it is recommended to activate KSM to reduce the memory usage and avoid problems like random reboots.

This is done by going to "Settings"->"Performance"->"Memory Management" and check "Kernel samepage merging"

You can also activate zRam if you still encounter low RAM issues
