[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Jamesyboy:
Re: [rom] [4.2.2] Unofficial CyanogenMOD [cm10.1] - [feb16] - PREVIEW 4

I just took my first comprehensive look at this ROM, and I have to say, its a HOME-RUN!

Aside from an accessibility bug which disallowed turning on app features (it resolves itself with a reboot), I've only seen a couple serious bugs...one of which is pretty bad, but the other is a bug-from-hell, one I've never seen, and quite possibly could be the worst I've ever personally ran into.

The first would be that the keyboard is great, but it seems to have issues. Hitting the voice-dictation button causes a FC that slaughters the system. Any attempt to open an app, screen, or page with text input boxes will cause the keyboard to crash, attempt to restart, and then crash again, creating a lovely crash loop...but it resolves itself with a reboot....I'll look later to see if I can disable voice dictation all together, and just remove the button from the keyboard, replacing it preferably with a comma button.

The bug from hell: I was watching a video full screen in the YouTube app (downloaded from the market), and the phone shifted in my hands....when It shifted, I tried to catch a phone that wasn't calling, and this resulted in a hard tap on the screen, which could been interpreted as a long press, or a had shake to the accelerometer. The end result was horrid. The video and system froze, and the screen became pixelated. The picture began to gradually brighten...over a period of about 5-6 seconds, the screen seemed to brighten up so much, that it was brighter than I've ever seen before. It was brighter than a pure white page on max brightness, leading me to believe that it might have been a graphical glitch that caused the screen to brighten past it's max brightness.

Aside from my Aventador theme, I recently installed the Lock Screen Notification Widget app recently featured on the News list a couple days ago in the XDA app. This app does have a side note about overheating, however, the app was only installed for about a minute before I had to reboot because of the accessibility settings bug. This meant that the phone was fairly cold.

Aside from this, it's DEFINITELY a daily driver (just use a different keyboard if you run into the Google voice/keyboard bug), and hope that you don't run into the graphical bug....which I'm going to call a one timer for now, as it's the first time I've ever seen it....forgive my n00bness if this is already something that's known/has been submitted.

The performance is unlike anything you'll see elsewhere. 4.2 (its always possible the lovely kernel Jamie included contributed, as well as his tweaks) has turned our device into something that's capable of running with the best, One X? No problem. S3? No problem. I couldn't distinguish a UI FPS difference if I tried. This has breathed new life into our device.

One last Note: I've heard that the fast-charge feature isn't necessarily a fast charge feature. Haha. Charging doesn't seem to be much faster than other AOSP ROMs, and it's definitely not as fast as the Stock-based ROMs, but I'll have to run it for a while more before saying if it personally helped or not. Can power draw be tweaked to match stock amperage in the kernel-- or elsewhere? That would be a major differentiator, if so.

Addition: "Process system" crashes upon boot. Let me know if you'd like a logcat.
