Update

Hello all!

I am glad most everyone is enjoying the Alphas. I would like to update you all on what's going on, since I have not actually checked in to XDA for a few days (over a week). If you want to talk to me directly, I am on Freenode #teamds, as stated in the OP.

Current bugs:

Sound bugs (work in progress) -- In Alpha4, we used 'blobs', or prebuilt files, for audio. This was to fix an issue with audio routing in microphone in certain Google applications (namely GTalk Video/G+ Hangouts). It's possible it created more issues than fixed, and has been reverted (as pointed out in a previous post in this thread, it already went through CyanogenMod Gerrit Review). Upstream CyanogenMod changes have fixed the microphone issue from source, and there is but two remaining audio issues known from source -- G+ Hangouts disable all audio out, and DSP Manager is not working 100%. Both of these are being worked on.

Battery stats bugs (work in progress) -- I have had this issue since we began with v3 kernel. I stabilized it for sometime with a new battery, but it came back. I just began looking into this in depth today. I will update when I have more information (or watch commits :P ).

Camera bugs (work in progress) -- FFC Camera orientation is fixed (with mirroring disabled) with TBalden and seidler2547 changes. These are pushed to CM Gerrit. The issues with the camera not being available is very hard to reproduce and isolate. Other camera issues I have seen is using Face Unlock can cause the phone to not wake up from deep sleep on occasion.

WiFi "bugs" -- I had issues with WiFi dropping off on me in Alpha4 occasionally, but I don't know if it had anything to do with deep sleep. I didn't debug it much. In current builds from source, it's not occurring.

Current Fixes:

Trackpad wake -- This is in CM Gerrit and github.com/cyanogenmod. It works, I am using it now.

Tethering -- WiFi and USB Tethering work now out of the box (after a reboot). Bluetooth Tethering is failing, this is on our to do list.

Faster bootup. seidler2547 submitted to CM Gerrit a change to remove prebuilt init. This makes the device boot up noticeably faster.

More, checkout the github repos :)

Regarding Linaro: Watch cm upstream (Gerrit/Github). We will be inline with whatever changes MSM8660 devices use.

Keyboard backlights go off randomly -- working better in current builds. If issue remains, simply change auto-brightness on/off/on (or vice versa). I use a toggle in notification bar for it. Reboot is unnecessary.

I see the kang build. Yay! You can build your own too, that's why it's open sourced :) I even created a local_manifest.xml to make everyone's job easier -- https://gist.github.com/2946652 . If you do start a KANG CM9 Doubleshot thread, I have no power to stop you. Understand we are releasing Alphas in a way which promotes usability and they are tested. A new one should be coming up SOON. Please mention in your KANG post what changes you make to the official CM Repos with your build release.

Double keypress - I never see this. Sorry.

BTW Thanks to the community commits -- Especially seidler2547! xmc wildchild22 also has his name on a commit pushed through CM Gerrit.
