[G 2014 Original Android Development] ChriMo:
my current CM 14.1 experience and log

Please forgive if I repeat things here and include observations not strictly limited to the CM 14.1 titan build as I am no regular flasher or insider regarding custom ROMs and use this posting also as a log for myself or maybe of use for other casual flashers.

After 20160914 I now tried 20161030 and I noted:

included CM File manager 3.0.0 (Dec. 2015) is still not accessing SD card even after granting Root Access in settings so this App seems not supporting Nougat very well. Solved the issue by installing Simple Explorer 2.3.1 (Dec. 2015) over F-Droid and then further Apps from my SD-card. Would still prefer installing instantly from my SD-card.

In Open Camera 1.34 video recording is now working, however I was not able to set the SD-Card (selecting the long ID) as place to save: message "can not save in this folder" is showed. Also using the in-App-setting "Use Storage Access Framework" does only show the SD-Card and lets not select any subfolder and when making pictures gives an error.

DAVdroid after installation seems to need extensive access rights notified in taskbar. In Settings>Apps>Rights I have granted access rights for all 4 listed entries: Calendar, Contacts and Tasks (read/write). I still received taskbar notications without indication which one is missing or having one more listed in Settings. Probably the Nougat security system is not supported well both by the GUI and Apps. Seems to need further testing together with OptenTasks 1.1.8.2

the Calendar widget has a white background without possible customizing in settings. Since this widget is on my main screen with black background (I prefer dark themes/backgrounds) I do not know why the background is different then in Lollipop or Marshmallow and if I need to search for another Calendar widget.

AdAway activation is broken: notification says "copying not possible (hosts file)" even after granting access to memory in Settings>Apps>Rights

Mobile Data Icon in Task bar seems to not show traffic; not sure if this can be solved with a setting or is CM/Nougat base dependant.

MyPhoneExplorer 1.8.7 with Client 1.0.40 beta 12 over USB works but had some crashes on Win10 which I never observed in CM 12.1/13. The Text input over the PC keyboard which I use extensively when installing and setting up (URLs, logins, etc.) is very laggy / does not always react; had this not observed before.

I noticed quite some GUI/settings area not yet language localized

Battery dain seems very low, better then with CM 13, 12.1

Pulsar 1.4.2 including SD card play works fine

OsmAnd~ works when setting maps saved on the SD card to be used, in contrast to the Open Camera problems.

In Dev Settings Advanced reboot is activable and works

I'm happy to hear what could be solved soon (also CM base, Apps) so I may use CM 14.1 as daily driver which is now not very comfortable probably because the new permission settings are not yet very supported by the main Apps I use.

I'm seeking for an informative comparison of the main improvements/differences between CM 12.1/13/14.1 and appreciate links to such posts (found only this old 12.1/13 comparison discussion).
