Cm10-V3 reporting

Thanks Krook for the new rom & Cybie for the hosting.

Downloading was fast and installing over the previous Krook's K1-3gTest rom was a breeze.

No need to wipe anything and files/settings remain there.

Initial startup was lengthy but subsequent startup is really fast.

As I am used to JB's snappiness, this time around I do not have the initial excitement when I first experienced JB. In fact, there seems to be a bit of stuttering which the JB launcher when changing screens. I don't know if it is only me. But there is just no way I would return to HC.

I tried CM10 bootanimation meant for short resolution of 800 (K1)

Instruction: Download attachment and save it in your k1's /system/media/ folder. Backup old bootanimation file first. Change the permission to rw- rw- rw-. Reboot. WARNING:USE @ YOUR OWN RISK

Rom Issues discovered:

1. Camera app still pretty buggy. A simple attempt to make changes to the camera-settings will hang the app. After which it will drain the batt juice really fast unless you reboot the k1. Simple photo taking & video taking are fine and extremely snappy.

2. I suspect auto-rotation is not working. I need to manually rotate the screen. As I use k1 mostly in portrait format (90% of the time), in the previous version K1-3g-test rom, when I wake the k1 from sleep, it will auto detect it should be on the right portrait format and should the keypad to input the pin. In this current rom, it keeps waking up in landscape format. I think Krook is trying very hard to fix the auto-rotate switch and may have done some settings.

3. Settings-Launcher now allows for more changes to be made like screens..... But as I am playing with it I tried setting the auto-rotate to on to solve the above issue on rotation. Returning to the home, it keeps showing Trebuchet is not working till I reset the k1. When on, it still displays Trebchet not working and refuse to show the icons but it shows the bottom notification bar. I had to try to get into Settings-Display to reset to auto-rotate which is puzzling cos I remembered clearly it is on all the while. Then Settings-Launcher disappears altogether. I tried to launch Play and install Holo launcher. Now JB launcher can launch but auto-rotate and APPs button together with Google search on the top disappears. I had to use Holo to launch. Krook seemed to have done quite a bit of work in this launcher but it is abit unstable for now.

4. When charging, if you long-press-on/off button-reboot, k1 will go off and refuse to on back unless you manually long-press the on/off switch again. When not on charge, the reboot works well.

V3 is currently rather unstable unless you use a custom launcher and you can tolerate no auto-rotate.

For me, I am too damn lazy to backup all the stuff and revert back to V2 or 3gTest so I am hanging on to V3 camping here for V4;)

After another quite a few hours of using v3, I find it rather unstable with frequent app crashes including our beloved xda. It is not even possible to read my post that I need to use my Atrix to post. News360 crashes easily too. This is not common in v2 or 3gTest. For first timer, please do not install v3 and then complain here. Stick with v2 instead. V2 is very good and snappy.

Krook must have done quite a lot of work recently on this V3. Thanks for the effort. By the way, Krook, is there a way to easily return to V2:)
