Okay...

I've been using this ROM for a few months now, and although pretty amazing, I must say there are two things about it that should be considered MAJOR ISSUES that everyone else seems to be brushing off. I absolutely love this ROM, but these two problems make me curse Sean's name out loud about five to six times a day.

1. I know this has been mentioned, I know this is a "KNOWN ISSUE", but come on. Not being able to lock my phone in landscape mode without requiring a reboot? Some say this ROM has great battery life...but when you're restarting your phone 3-4 times a day due to an issue that no one seems to think is all that bad, the battery life SUCKS. Oh, just turn off auto-rotate? Great, now maybe you can keep your good battery claims, but the "smoothness" factor plummets to zero. I know I'm complaining, but I'd just like to hear a good reason as to why it has to be like that. This isn't a small bug, it's a major issue.

2. Ever since "Dragon R3" USB storage simply doesn't work for me. The notification popped up once, never connected, and now I can't even get the phone to realize that it's plugged into my computer. So now I have a camera that I can't accidentally lock while using, videos I can only watch on my phone (and pray I once again don't accidentally hit the lock button), and no way to dump my 16GB of work onto my computer without it taking ten years over WiFi. I've tried changing the "battery mod" (even though I never used one to begin with anyway) and now all I have is the same issue, and a big ugly battery icon that doesn't match the rest of the colors of the ROM. Great fix.

I understand this post is riddled with frustration and aggravation, but after reading through thousands of posts and seeing dozens mentioning these issues in passing without caring whether or not they were fixed...I felt as though I'd at least like to make it clear that these issues DO affect some of us, as some of us aren't simply trying to "play around" with our phones, we're looking for a mixture between stability, functionality, and speed so that we may use our phones for actual work, not just impressing our friends.

[EDIT] I can't even mount my phone via USB using Recovery. I think it's time to sail forward and find a new ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Bruno2123:
If you cant mount your phone in recovery then its either your cord is bad or you have a bad usb slot on your pc. This rom has no control over recovery as does no rom has control over recovery so try a different slot or a different cord. As to the first problem where you cant lock your phone have you tried to flash rotation lockscreen people have said with that lockscreen you just rotate a few times and the bug rights itself.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Datron:
Thanks for the detailed post. You bring up very valid points regarding the lock screen error. It kicked my butt. I ended up flashing several different themes and it solved itself. I wish I knew which one was the right fix. I do agree it's a big issue.

For the usb demon, this vampire has sucked my blood several times since I became a seanzzombie in March. I've been able to reliably fix it by doing full wipes, returning to stock, re flashing a new download of the rom, deleting the drivers from my pc and reinstalling them, then restoring all my apps and data from titanium backup (not system data tho). It's a weird bug. I think it hit me three times in five months. Hope that helps you.

Potential Lockscreen bug fix

I've seen several people comment about a lockscreen problem using pattern unlock and the phone becoming unresponsive.

When the following are true, the phone will stop responding and needs a restart (maybe other cases too)

-Using regular TW/ASOP lockscreen

-Using pattern unlock in security

-The phone goes into landscape mode (web, games, etc.)

-The screen turns off

-When you turn the screen back on, it's a non-pattern lock screen and then it freezes requiring a restart.

Using a rotational lockscreen works (in Sean's first post), and it no longer exhibits this behavior, but it does not have the color icons.

Attached is a rotational lockscreen (AOSP) with color icons that should stop this freezing/crashing business with the pattern lock screen. (use at your own risk, blah blah blah)

Try flashing the rotational lockscreen in Seans OP. If it works, all i did was replace a few pngs (from his flashable rotational lockscreen) to get the color back in the extended power menu.

Tried that a while back - noticeable drain on battery. That was with cymbaline but the newer version is supposedly much better on battery. OCing did get some impressive results on Antutu, but not a noticeable difference in everyday use on most apps. It might be worth it for you, but I don't see the advantage for me in overclocking.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Datron:
I've seen this solved several times in the forum. Try playing with the following searches. They may help:

Double sounds

Duplicate sounds

Duplicate music

I believe the solution is to clear a certain apps cache then reboot. I can't remember which app tho. Sorry.

I installed this but I swear it looks exactly the same as the default one. Dumb question for the day but how can I tell if this is installed correctly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] skyrockets:
If you had the problem with the phone locking up in landscape mode when the screen shuts off (if you didn't, then why did you install it??), AND wanted the color icons on the extended power menu, then this seems to work. [if you don't want the color extended power menu, flash the rotational lockscreen in Sean's OP with the black icons]

It should look identical, except no longer locking up the phone and requiring a reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] uhno:
Yeah it was locking me up before. I haven't used the phone enough yet to determine if it isn't going to again but I certainly thank you for the fix if this stops it from locking.

I have no clue if it works with sd card errors. What error do you get? SD cards have so many variables (model, age, usage history, etc) that it's hard to precisely troubleshoot many issues.

For sd cards I always operate using the following philosophy: make backups of the backups of the backed up data.
