[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] knoor56:
7/15 ROM - WiFi not working, tons of other feedback

Boo hoo :( Flashing this 7/15/2013 version turns OFF all WiFi access on my HTC Vivid. I cannot even turn WiFi ON, it just hangs indefinitely while trying to do so, without crashing though. I flashed both ways - as an update first (clearing just the cache and dalvik cache), and then again as a clean install (factory/data reset, cache/dalvik cache reset, and even sys reset) - both with identical results : NO WiFi. Flashing the previous ROM version restores WiFi immediately. Please help...

I was really looking forward to the fixes in this version, esp. the warm rebooting, but will have to wait for a fix. Additionally, and the changelog doesn't say anything about these, I wonder:

- Is the volume level problem is fixed? I find the in-call volume in this CM10 to be nowhere near the stock ICS 4.0.3. It is generally quite weak and I don't see any relevant DSP settings to help boost this, if that is even a place to try;

- Camera: Why are all but the lowest (WXGA 1280x720) WIDE-screen picture size resolutions missing? My ICS and even the original CM10 had several higher WIDE-screen resolutions available - 2.xMpx (1920x1080), 3.xMpx, 5.xMpx. Isn't wide-screen more-or-less the standard now? Also, why is photo preview mode gone completely? I enjoyed reviewing the photo I took immediately (preferred un-timed preview - with choice to delete or click to advance to next shot).

- Is the built-in File Manager (a God-send, no less) fixed so as to show both Internal Storage and the SD-Card? Currently, it only allows one of the two to be accessed, not both. Two different flashes gave different results for me - one time it was only Internal Storage that was shown, the other time it was only the SD Card. I don't see a way to get to the device root (to navigate back down), or failing that, a way to switch between the stores;

- Speed Dial: It is just unbelievable that Jelly Bean eliminated this most useful, quick and simple dialer feature, I almost wanted to cry upon reading about it in the forums. I depend on Speed-dial and nothing else can come close to its convenience. Any chance or hope this can be reinvented and put back into the dialer by you ROM Gods?

- Battery use - why does this ROM just eat up my battery like it was free air? I'm still tweaking / turning down many automated features, perhaps I will find a good compromise between function and battery life. Could it be that Jelly Bean is just a bit much for the Vivid (though it runs very smoothly)?

- Is multi-user a possibility for this rom? I came upon the facility first in the Quick Settings Panel - Static Tiles (its the first large "User Switcher" button upon first config), only to discover the corresponding module is entirely missing from Settings. Multi-user is touted as a feature for Tablets, perhaps this button should be eliminated to avoid disappointment.

- For the Brightness button in Quick Panel Settings - Static Tiles, I rather enjoyed the 5-6 pre-defined modes setup as selectible choices in the original CM10 ROM (Auto, Dim, 25% 50%, 75%, Full). Kind of safer and more convenient to use while driving - being able to press in a single spot to change modes without looking.

- Can the latest versions of Google Now and Google Keyboard be integrated into the ROM, without having to perform updates to get them working? These two seem to be such an integral part of Jelly Bean. Or is this a necessary part of the Gapps pkg? I did download and flash the indicated version (gapps-jb-20130301-signed.zip), but not only was the Play Store app outdated in this version, even Google Now fails immediately upon first config and run.

These are a few of my immediate discoveries & comments; I truly appreciate everybody's feedback and guidance, and particularly THANK all the designers of this superb ROM. I had been a big-time cooker myself in the days of Windows Phone 6.5, but have stayed away since getting an Android phone. Lately I have been suffering with the rather lame stock ICS 4.0.3 which my HTC Vivid sported, and after trying so hard to get one of the 4.0.4's here installed - it fixes so many fundamental things (and failing - could never get Holics working, for example), I've just gone all out with Jelly Bean instead. And I'm so glad I did it - JB is so phenomenal, it knocks iOS out cold I think!
