[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] deepanshu sharma:
Looks like the developement thread of our CM9 is all messed up as noobs filled the thread with ETA's and questions.

DEVELOPEMENT THREAD- http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1449649

I've created this thread for general suggestions and questions and answers.people can put the useful links(for developement) over here(by links i mean any updates in the drivers or anything else for the developement not just anything you found on the internet :p )

You still aren't allowed to ask for ETA's in either of the thread.this is just for questions and answers and NON-DEVELOPEMENTAL talks.

KNOWN ISSUES:

1. WIFI doesn't work perfectly. You will not be able to see any networks when you first turn it on. Add a fake network manually and the wifi networks will show up. Also, network strength doesn't work properly.

2. There is LAG in the UI due to lack of Hardware Composer. Waiting for drivers from TI.

3. Mass Storage won't work for now. It requires 3.0 Kernel to support the framework changes in ICS for UMS. To copy files to the device, use http://xdaforums.com/show....php?t=1389375 or mount the Mass Storage in Recovery Mode.

4. Backlight button doesn't work when Autobrightness is turned off.

5. Microphone doesn't record properly (Regression in Alpha 4).

6. Camera Force Closes sometimes while capturing the image.

7. Front Facing camera is stretched and is Mirrored at times.

8. Few third party Camera applications are incompatible. (They get stuck)
