Updated to Feb 24 build 2, those weird screen glitches are gone (I think) but I'm noticing slight lag on some animations now (Google Now, lockscreen, scrolling) that weren't there before.

For chrome graphics glitches try disable HW overlay. This might fix general graphics glitches too.

Only on 24th build 1 but here are my thoughts. Bluetooth with my car kit is working well, as does all calls and data/wifi.

I have encountered a couple of flickering screens, but only when waking up the device, and I suspect this might be to do with the PowerAmp lockscreen widget that I have enabled, so have disabled that and will see.

Reset battery stats last night, and am currently at 43% for 10hours. have only used the device to listen to music at work mostly, though I think the power drain is mostly due to being in a low signal area. I might try airplane mode and see what difference that makes. Not sure how you guys manage to get over 1 day on a battery :)

Still very smooth, although a couple of niggles:

- Has anyone lost Facebook push notifications? Im going to bet that this is more to do with the app than rom, but still worth asking

- The kinetic scrolling still seems to not have that much momentum when in a web page, or list scrolling. Is this something that always happens with CM10.1 based ROMs?

To keep it on topic, PM is you want about the above. Going to stay on this build for a while to get a few more battery cycles, but still very pleased.

Hi,

All good on 0225 so far.

Good GPS, no glitches, good signal, no reboots.

I did change to Sultan kernel, because I like Intellidemand.

The phone was getting a bit warm with inbuilt kernel. :confused:

One slight downer.

No mms.

Had it before.

Now it's gone. :(

Still got What'sapp, though.

Keep up the good work Albinoman. :good:

Reboots on startup 24.02.2013

After a fresh install of the 24.02.2012 build and having rebooted (the primary start up was successful) I can't use the phone because the system keeps crashing and switches to the pin code screen.

I'm s-off, 3.33 fw. Tried flashing earlier build over it and different kernels with the same result. Fixed permissions. Here is the logcat of the crash:

I left this ROM about a week ago because I was experiencing a terrible amount of reboots. Because of this, the battery wasn't able to calibrate, and the ROM became totally unusable.

I was on hyper nonsense for a week, but missed some stuff, so I decided to give this one another try.

The February 24 build works perfectly for me. No reboots, and an amazing battery life. I was able to get 26 hrs with heavy internet surfing and some whatsapp.

Great that you got a logcat. Only thing is, it would be even better if you could tighten the thing up...over 3000 lines? Maybe you could single-space it and trim it down to where the errors (messages with E in front) start. I think it was Bruce who pointed out that if you give logs with thousands of lines, no dev is ever going to have time to read them.

Jus'sayin'.

Stock launcher, settings/launcher/desktop/advance/lock desktop

This will lock everything including adding apps to the desktop, but you can temporarily disable the "Desktop Lock" by long pressing on the desktop, this will bring up the Padlock icon, then long press the Padlock icon.

Long pressing any widget will also bring up the Padlock, so try it and see if this works for you with the volume controlling.

Is the HDR camera actually working for anyone ? I mean it does take multiple pictures and combines them into one, but I don't think it is taking those pictures with different exposures which is important. As a result, the HDR pictures are not really HDR - they all seem like a picture with a single dark exposure to me. Also, it seems your hand has to be rock solid while taking pictures with this ... otherwise it'll be really blurry :( ...

The HDR camera mode did work a few builds back when CM first merged it though it still had a firm requirement of absolutely no hand movement. It doesn't seem to work at all anymore (pics just look dark and blurry). It's probably b0rked up stream. Give CM some time to sort it out. After all it is a brand new feature.

Data Issues

Guys, since the 23 Feb rom, I am getting heavy mobile data disconnects on T-Mobile, across a large geographical region involving 2G, 3G, and 4G towers. It's that situation where the "H" or "E" just flashes over and over but never connects.

The only thing that ever gets it to finally connect is sending several MMS (and it still takes about 5-10 minutes).

Data will stay up after that until I lose signal, or switch to wifi (after which I have to go through the MMS route again to reconnect).

My wife's sensation is on the 22 Feb rom, and is not having these issues. We both have the 3.33 universal firmware with the matched RIL pulled in through GetRIL (I think it's 37).

I've tried:

- sticking with the RIL that comes with this rom

- creating a new APN

- using just the T-Mobile IPv6 APN

- toggling airplane mode

- full partition wipe with no data restore (still wouldn't connect)

- reseating SIM

- clearing cache/dalvik

- reinstalling ROM

I see a few other people have reported this problem with this rom over the past few days.

Any thoughts?

I've been running the 24b2 ROM for about 48 hours now and it has been pretty good. I've had one reboot - just now when trying out the HDR camera. Beyond that it has been pretty much flawless. Battery life seems OK, though I probably need to have a couple of days at work to get an accurate comparison. Bluetooth connects to my car but doesn't read the contacts. I never got the question "do you want to allow ...." so something may be missing. Doesn't anybody know of a way to force this permission? I have unpaired and paired but it still doesn't access. The car system worked fine on stock, Bruce's CM10 and Viper S, so it is definitely something with this ROM / version. I read that Google had made big changes to 4.2.2 so I'm blaming that :)

Regarding HDR I don't zsl is needed. The functionality just needs tweaked for our device. For example in HDR camera + if I change exposure change mode to fast it pretty much takes all three shots at the same time. (With flash off )

So exposure options just need fiddling.
