["Somebody's" CM10 & "That" rom] Bug/fix reports & newest info (26-Oct-2012)
Firstly, I would like to give a big Thanks to "somebody" as well as the dev team at the behind of these roms for their efforts to bring ISC & JB as great things to our device.
Recently, I've tried both the ICSROM (known as the tune of leaked Rom under CWM flashable zip - Let's click Thanks for Upndwn4par) and "somebody's" CM10 (let's click Thanks for ticiano_arraes) and saw that they both have identical issues as reported by people such as the battery life, the deep sleep, the camera flash... including working fixes. But the fixes spread over the pages of threads caused inconveniences for us to track or update info. So I would like to open new thread just for purpose of collecting bug reports and the fixes from and for both users and our devs to get latest info on these roms quickly.
Admins please feel free to delete if this thread is already opened or if it's just not neccessary.
Belows are lists of great things of ICS/JB given by these roms that you can taste right now, and also the list of bugs/issues along with the best possible solutions that you can try for workaraound while waiting for the perfect release. The lists will be updated upon report from you guys. So please provide any thing from your experiences on these roms.
* Great things:
** For both roms:
+ Touch sensitivity is a big improvement in speed and accuracy (this might be inherited from Butter Project)
+ HDMI mirror works fine.
+ Others (pls share your experiences...)
** Individually for each rom:
ICSROM:
+ Webtop 3.0: work like a charm!
+ New Camera/Camcoder by Motorola with various valued upgrades such as Auto continuous (live) focus mode even for camcoder, full HD capture...
+ FingerPrint scanner @first steps of working (worked but not yet supported by original ICS/JB).
+ New valued apps added, such as Smart Actions (similar to Tasker, Locale but more intuitive/friendly/efficient), MotoPrint (valued add not only for business man but even for home usage), Battery Tracer (for battery monitoring with rich info)...
"Sombody" CM10::
+ All great things from CM10 as you experienced with such as Epinter's rom...
+ Camera/camcoder: worked.
+ 2D hardware accelerator: worked.
+ Data/GPS/Wifi/Bluetooth...: worked fine.
* Bugs/issues and workarounds (Newest update info are sized in big text, this helps you guys to track info more quickly):
1. Camera flash doesn't work properly: (Fixing is in progress...)
- Temporary solution: Turn on the torch while capturing in dark (shouldn't keep the flash on continuously over 5 min for safety of the LED flash light)
2. Deep sleep problem (which causes your phone cannot wake up upon power key pressing): CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device
If this problem still persists on your Atrix, try one of solutions belows:
- Solution 1 (confirmed): Remove the external SD card.
- Solution 2 (Edited: seems not worked): Turn off any screen unlocker (Choose None in Screen Unlock Options)
- Solution 3 (needs more confirmation): Just reboot your phone once or serveral times after rom installation
- Solution 4 (provided by Pont91-unconfirmed):
+put all media files on internal SD;
+deleted all files created by any app on the external SD;
+set internal storage as main one for all the apps data (downloads, photo, rec, backups, etc.).
- Solution 5 (worked with many users): Set Never for Screen Timeout in Settings/Display, remember to press Power button to turn off the screen instead
3. Randomly reboot issue: (the phone suddenly reboots for unknown reason):
- Solution 1: (need more confirmations): Remove the SD card.
- Solution 2 ("Somebody's" CM10) : (need more confirmations): Turn off Wifi :cyclops: There are two guys who provided that:
+ Either turning off Wifi
+ Or set Wifi to NEVER SLEEP (Always on) by: Settings/Wireless & Networks/Wifi Settings/Advanced/Wifi sleep policy
can help stopping reboots. Not only for this problem, but even the issues of heat and deep sleep can also be improved. From their reports, it seems that there is some problem related to the Wifi driver with "those libs". So, try this solution at your own case and help our devs by confirming this way again. Tks.
4. The heat issue (the phone seems to keep hot all the time): The issue seems to walk along with the deep sleep problem, so the issue may be cleared when the fix for deep sleep is applied.
5. The battery life: So bad
Both ICSROM (known as the leaked ICS) and CM10 with "those libs" have an identical problem of battery life. As shown on my phone, the battery drains from 100% downto 50% just after a couple of hours in usual use, even if your phone is in idle state.
No fix yet for this issue But you can apply some of following improvements:
- Lock (freeze) unnecessary AT&T apps and services (ICSROM only)
- Turn off Auto Syn (Manually mode instead)
- Turn off or lock all tracking/reporting sevices you doubt
- Use static wallpaper instead of live one
6. Ram low or several other suggestions only for ICSROM: clike here
7. The I/O performance is a characteristic weakness of both roms which are using "those" libs. You can see this on the results report of Quadrant. Essentially, you can see that the data processing speed is significantly slower than the CM7.2 by using, for e.g, Call Log Backup & Restore, etc...
No yet improvement for this disadvantage of both roms
8. Blackscreen issue after a lock/unlock: CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is now still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device
9. Black incoming call screen and blackscreen issue after a call: CM10 23-Oct build FIXED. But some users reported that the bug is now still there on their Atrix. So, the best way is that you flash and experience yourself to check whether the fix works on your device
...Other issues (please share and provide your own solution...)
Thanks for continuous reports from you guys!

Thanks For your report!
My phone is an US AT&T. Installed ICSROM yesterday (WOW!!!) and confirm what you posted.
Biggest bug is the battery. It seems to consume 1% every minute! In an hour I was down to 40% after full charge and using Play Store on wifi. Webtop/Mirror mode works awesome! Watched some HD videos and listened to some music... all good. After using the HDMI connection, I confirm that you will not get black screen until you reboot the phone. Turning off any screen unlocker does not fix the deep sleep bug. 1 reboot. Overall, it is very good.
Keep up the great work and thank you for your efforts! :highfive:

I think I saw some workaround suggested by somebody to turn on the torch before using the camera. This way, you've a constant camera flash
Not sure whether it works as advertised, I've not used this ROM yet.

It works
Anyway, it seems i've stopped deep sleep reboot, with external SD inserted, in this way:
-put all media files on internal SD;
-deleted all files created by any app on the external SD;
-set internal storage as main one for all the apps data (downloads, photo, rec, backups, etc.).
Hope this can help you in some way

Really this fixes the deep sleep bug? Have you made tests for a long time of usual use? Pls confirm.
Can anyone else confirm this fix again?
First of all, thanks for the report.
Regarding the FP reader - what's really working and what isn't? Could someone enlighten me there?
As I'm back to cm7 right now, I would like that if you find any bug/fix, PM me. I will put it on the OP in the dev section.
Oh, btw, the flash workaround was my idea
I heard removing the SD card fixes the reboots.
Sounds like this might be similar to what pont 91 talking about.
Is there any fix for the upside down front camera in "somebody's" cm10?

Not sure if this is a bug with the roms (Somebody's 10/19), but I'm not longer able to track total data usage on my phone. Some apps will show the amount used by individual apps, but none will actually total it up (They all say 0 total data usage).
Woah where you getting October 22 from???
Fixed

Let us track the OPEN issues on Android HD2, we will only discuss problems dealing with android alone, issues arised due to radio, WinMo rom and a specific android rom should be ignored.
AFAIK we still have 3 main Problems
1. GSensor/ Touchscreen Freeze.
Related Files in Android : \system\bin\akmd,\data\misc\AK8973Prms.txt and \system\lib\hw\sensors.xxxxx.so
(xxxxx = htcleo or default or qsd8k or ace or bravo based on the build)
This issue is not noticeable unless you a play game which uses Gsensor (Eg Abduction, NFS Shift ...)
This thread has lot more details about this issue and it could be a possible solution for you (it does not work for me though)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803242
Possible Workaround :
1. Disable Auto-Rotate screen in Settings -> Display
2. Run the following commands in Terminal
mv \system\bin\akmd \system\bin\akmd2
killall akmd
To Restore
mv \system\bin\akmd2 \system\bin\akmd
Basically you are renaming the file 'akmd' which is responsible for the sensor to work
2. Data Disconnects
Related Files : \system\lib\libhtc_ril_wrapper.so
This thread has lot more details about this issue and it could be a possible solution for you (it does not work for me though)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=794309
Possible Workaround :
1. Switch Mobile Network OFF and then ON (Add a widget [Widget -> Settings -> Mobile Network])
2. Switch Airplane Mode OFF and then ON (Add a widget [Widget -> Settings -> Airplane Mode])
[EDIT]:
Guys looks like we got a fix.. this wrapper seems to work flawlessly as of now... you can try it here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=824413
Just download 0.3 file and replace the file at /system/lib using root explorer
3. Occasional Black SOD and Accuracy in Auto Brightness
Newest kernals seems to have this issue, where the display stays black while the keypad lights glow.
Related Files : \system\lib\hw\lights.xxxxx.so
(xxxxx = htcleo or default or qsd8k or ace or bravo based on the build)
Possible Workaround :
1. Show the Sensor of your phone to some bright light source and your display will be back
2. Disable Automatic brightness in Settings -> Display-> Brightness
I will update this thread with Solutions as and when the developers fix it.
Whatever i have written is limited to my knowledge, it could be wrong, if so please correct me, Most of the vetarans know these issues and the work arounds, i have just put everything together for the new comers and to remind the developers of the existing bugs
Mods feel free to move the thread to General if need be.
Hi depakjan, This is great, thanks for tracking these issues.
can people confirm this "occasional bsod"?
i haven't seen it since light-sensor is calibrated.
i think the bsod is fixed with 2.12 radio and above..
Actually BSOD was introduced in the new lights file... it does not occur frequently... also if you have not upgraded you wont have it obviously...

Just so people don't get confused.
BSOD normally refers to the Blue Screen Of Death on boot and should be fixed in the latest kernels.
The black screen due to no back-light is an issue with the auto-brightness and, AFAIK, only happens on CM6 builds that haven't had the correct levels setup.
I could be wrong though as I personally only used it for a few days for testing purposes.

I second that explanation ... and the auto backlight levels in CM builds may actually work better than Desire builds if tweaked properly... atleast for me the reaction time of the sensor is much faster ... accuracy still a problem
Accuracy is still a problem, so is Black SOD .. i have been getting this in Mdeejay's Revolution, HD .. latest ones...
it so happens when you have been talking over your phone for a long time(which blocks the sensor from light).. and then when you are finished with the call it wont wake up... maybe it did not sense light ... but after you show the sensors over a bright light source.. it comes back..
i have seen couple of posts and users mentioning about this...
lets see if everyone agrees that there is no Black SOD, i will modify the post for accuracy..
Support of HTC extended battery
I have tried a few android builds, but none of them seemed to support OEM HTC 2300mAH extended battery - after android booted up in the dual boot process, the HD2 powered-off by itself. I read some posts that acknowledged the problem, but I have not come across any android build that resolved this issue... Did I miss them? Thanks.
Can we also add tracking of Idle / Screen Off Battery Drain? Target is 5-8ma, some builds run at 100ma.
Is anyone's market busted?
Most apps won't install, but some do just fine. This started last night. I tested on 4 roms now and all exhibit identical behavior. This was NEVER an issue before.
(the stupid mount/unmount trick does nothing)
However, once they've d/led I can install them manually. Except for google voice. It refuses to install LOL. Google must have screwed something big here.

There has been an issue internationally with access to the market for a while now. People were able to browse the market as normal but upon trying to install anything nothing would happen. This has been mentioned on several threads over this forum already and the problem is an intermittent one (obviously based on what server you connect to when trying to download anything).
Led Notification is not functioning, especially on Sense build.
backlight drivers are not working , it don't dim light when left without use (it closes the screen ) , as well as light sensor , doesn't dimm light only brightens the screen

What doesn't make any sense is that the app successfully downloads, but either stalls when it needs to d/l or tries to install and tell me it was unsuccessful.

I've found the backlight problem occurs (generally) if I unlock/lock the phone fairly quickly in a short space of time (and yes, I've only seen this on Hyperdroid 1.6 & 1.7, both CM6 builds). It's not consistently reproduce-able though, I can go several days without it happening, then have it happen a couple of times in a single day.
The touch screen is still active though, and swiping the unlock brings the screen back to normal brightness levels.

Hi!
I wonder what "works for me" means. What exactly are your leds doing? On all builds i tried so far the left green led flashed about one time a minute green and nothing happened when the phone was charging. Are there some hidden settings or a special program for hd2 leds?
Cheers,

Hello,
I'm a new member and since I do not currently have 10 posts yet, I cannot post in the Android Dev Forum. stupid rule IMO. So I am creating a new topic to make the bugs I have found known since I have not seen anyone talk about them in the dev forum.
*MODS* If you could move this topic into the dev forum that would be great!
Nexus S running Cm7 Rc1 with Netarchy 1.2.1 kernel. Great work guys!
Bugs:
1. When taking pictures in a dark room, the flash is not timed correctly. The flash lights up then turns off before the picture is captured. ( this happens about every other picture I take)
2. Lots of random reboots when doing cpu dependent tasks.
3. When saving pictures from MMS, pictures do not copy to SD. I've tried rebooting and re saving the photo's.
4. Apps freeze up and FC when started. It seems to be a different app every time I reboot the phone and it doesn't always happen.
5. Wifi is semi-broken. Sometimes it works fine, other times it will try to connect but fail. Under wifi it says connecting like its going to work but then just says disconnected.
I will post more bugs as I find them. Others are welcome to post bugs as well and I will update the list of bugs in my original post.
Thanks for all the hard work with the ROM and Kernel development!
Just a question, did you do a complete wipe before installing the rom?
Running the ROM with same Kernal for 24 hours and not had a single reboot or force close.
WiFi also working fine.
Haven't tested for the other bugs .
I haven't had a random reboot, frozen app or broken wifi yet but I do have the flash timing issue.
I had a baseband crash 2 hours after I installed CM7. Back on stock for now

1. works properly over here. when taking a pic with flash, there is a preflash first, then it focuses, flashes again and takes a pic.
2. whats your phone clocked to(setcpu)? is it overclocked? maybe your phone cant handle the overclock?
3. long press, press save attachment worked for me.
4. no problem like that
5. wifi works here. on the latest cm7 nightly with netarchys 1.2.4
Been running RC1 since it came out and haven't had but one random reboot. Wifi works perfectly, cell and data radios work perfectly, battery life is great, theme looks great, loving it. Seems like you're in the minority here lol
I haven't really experienced any of those problems actually.
Faced none of your issues although for me, if i get a random reboot due to overclocking my limit, my android.phone performs a force closed and i'm not able to have any cell signal until i do a wipe and to restore everything from my titanium backup.
Doing a nandroid restore doesn't help as well. Strange indeed.
you are running a outdated version of the kernel (1.2.1) 1.2.2 is the new stable version, and 1.2.4 is the latest beta. It could conflict with a newer version of CM7 (speculating).
Try wiping factory settings, cache and dalvik. Then reflash CM7 + gapps.
Not facing any of these problems, and this post wouldn't go into the dev forums at all.
i found a HUGE bug in cyanogenmod7 effecting all phone models. this might make ppl rethink using CM7. the info is posted here http://goo.gl/AZDtZ
I did a full data wipe and wipe Dalvik cache and almost all issues have been taken care of.
I still get lots of random reboots tho, I have switched to a stock kernel to rule out the OC.
Thanks for all the input

1. Custom Lock Screens
2. Edit Auto Light settings ( when system is set to Auto Brightness )
3. Enable Quiet hours so your phone will never ring out loud between set hours e.g 11pm - 6am
4. Music Control from lockscreen
5. Notifications area Power controls e.g WIFI / GPRS / SOUND
6. Faster Phone Speed in general
7. Sound Tweeks ( Boost Notifications / Ringtone / Speaker Phone )
8. Ability to use Voodoo sound and EXT4 hacks ( with custom kernals )
9. Better Battery Life ( further improved by lowering Light settings and disabling V/A settings )
10. Haptic feedback improvments
11. long press buttons settings ( I.E long press home and launch an app e.c.t )
12. Rom manager allows you to back up your whole system and Titanium backup allows you to back up all your apps and system data.

Hi, I have one question.
If I have the permanent root from churli (I'm sorry if I miss-spelled it..), do I just updated it regularly? I used to update all the firmwares by just downloading the firmware right on my A70 and install it right away.. but will that work if I have the root? I just rooted my A70 yesterday...and I'm a newbie haha

I just followed Steps 2, 3, 4 of Chulri's post. Chulri already has the new files for "fw 2.3.26 +rw" for Step 3. I like the optional Step 4 because I don't have to worry about holding down the volume button everytime I boot to get root.
Hi,
Has somebody tested this new release?
I updated to version 3.2.20 last week and I was very happy when I realized that cinema plugin was not required to play all the formats which I was not able to before the update (AAC, AC3, MPEG2, etc)
Can somebody confirm if this has not been "fixed"?
Thank you.
Well I have tried this new release and all I can say is bootloop, oh and to top it off I think that my right speaker has blown.
Archos I hope you're reading this, you need to sort your firmware releases out. Whilst you're at it Gingerbread would be nice. If you can put it on the Arnova with inferior hardware you have no excuse but to port it to the 101.

I just noticed the update when I went to the archosfans 2.3.20 bugs thread to report wifi drop powersave disabled while running tunein radio...
OTA update went fine, just waiting for A43 to charge up, then I'm going to do the A32 as well...
[EDIT]
Power LED blinking -> UI batt meter (and About Device) say 98% charge...
had this once with 2.3.20 showing 97% when LED blinking but next charge and thereafter showed 100% when LED blinking...
[/EDIT]
I had this Problem from the first day.
LED blinks and the battery show around 90%.
If i unplug the power the status goes to 98-100%, most 100%.
If i reboot the device with plugged power, the status is 75-90% after restart.
Sometimes the status falls to 87-91% if i plugged the power in.
I can live with it, but it is annoying.
did they remove bluetooth PAN tether ? I had dun/pan option while setting up BT tether with 2.3.20. but now no more that option. the probken for me is, i am using cdma phone(bell htc touch) but with BT DUN the Archos cannot dial CDMA number #777. I set bell APN (pda.bell.ca) it's not working. Actully even if it works I worry about it because it may charge me more.
Before with 2.3.20 , it worked perfect with BT PAN and my phone set to Internet sharing.
This update cleared up my waking-up issue.
It's pretty much an instant on now after the monitor idles off. Before, (after being off for more than a few minutes) it was a crap-shoot as to whether or not the screen would come on and I often had to fight with it and double, triple, quadruple tap the power button to get things alive. No longer.
still reboot cycles problems when charging the 101..problem started with these last 2 updates.
twit.tv app FCs all of the time with this fw...
I wonder why they released this one OTA as it seems to be more broken than .20 was...
youtube and many other flash video played in the browser hangs after about 15 seconds or so. Soemtime this causes the whole system to freeze requiring forced reboot.
This is the worse build so far, my A70 was most stable at 2.1.08.
Wow. I am having the exact opposite experience with this firmware. I find the browser and flash to be very solid. Before I could never play even youtube mobile in HD without it freezing and forcing a hard reboot.
Also, i'm having less general freezes.
I am still having absolutely no luck whatsoever with tethering to my Android phone (cliq). It's driving me crazy cause this was one of the main reasons I went with Archos.
Have you guys done a full reinitialization? That's what I did and, even though it's a pain to reload all your files, it might help with many of the problems you are having.

As a matter of fact I did an Android reset to get away from some of the problems I was having with bootloops and such. This has helped with the general performance of the 101, which I'd say is down to the 64mb swap file I now enjoy.
I did have a couple bootloops until I enabled a lock screen pattern unlock and I have now experienced nothing but fairly good performance
It seems that 2.3.26 is different from vesions before

You'd probably be better off posting in the archosfans.com forum's bug list thread for 2.3.26 as Archos employees actually monitor that site and have actually even started some of the buglist/fw release threads... i.e. I'm not sure that they're even aware of the xda-devs gen8 section and even if they were would they bother to read it...
Can't post on the Main [ROM][4.2.2]CodeFireX 27.02.13 Thread yet so I'll post here for now.
Issues foudn so far on the [ROM][4.2.2]CodeFireX 27.02.13:
Screen flickers when phone's locked / backlight is off[
Going to Clock >> Alarm, crashes the Clock app
Phone overheats during regular use during the day and drained battery really quickly (maybe related or maybe not)
Problems 1 and 3 are known issues, thanks for reporting the bugs. If you could pull a logcat of the second issue, it would be great. I was on CFX and didn't notice the alam bug.

I'm also using CFX currently and I can open Clock > Alarm Icon then add and use alarms. But I can't run alogcat or catlog. I don't know what to do about that. But this ROM is otherwise very stable. I don't have the overheating issue either.
Camera crashes the phone, while it ought to only crash the camera app. But my camera is probably broken d/t being a refurb phone.
flashed junk700's .58 kernel... no fix on screen flicker
Can someone please send me the link to .64 or .66 kernel that works with corefirex's mytouch 4g rom? Thanks!

Issues foudn so far on the [ROM][4.2.2]CodeFireX 27.02.13:
I cannot post either so far. I like this ROM - it's fast, responsive, The only major issue for me - it keeps rejecting my SD card, especially after starting camera, gallery, or 2EXT apps. Anyone else has the same problems?

One BIG problem I have is the cellphone signal drops after a missed call. I have to restart the phone to get it back. That is annoying because people can't reach me while the signal is out. Basically, this issue is the only one keeping me from using 4.2 ROMs as my daily driver.

I do not really have problems with signal drops.

sony xperia XZ？？？
I just installed it, so far it works well and seems better optimized than the AOSP version of Sony.
oh ****, too much not developping aosp and omnirom gets in
Not support sony xz dual. Sim delected
I hope rom support sony xz dual.
Had it for a few hours. Feels nice, the finger recognition doesnt really work though. Cameras good, sound is ok, once the finger recognition works thatl be ace. Just remember to install supersu and gapps too guys.
Few things...
- Bluetooth is messed up (range seems to be extremely limited and the audio quality when using a Bluetooth device is unusable)
- Severe echo during phone calls when not using Bluetooth
- Screen is frequently unresponsive after waking the phone. Pressing the power button to turn off the screen and turn it on again helps. Seems to be fixed by turning off Double Tap Screen to Wake
- No way to get it to pass SafetyNet
I'd recommend against using this. Certainly not a Daily Driver, but glad to see they're making progress.

Install next lock screen to find, the unresponsive after unlocking. There's no lock screen that's why.
Camera is poor too. I am using it and find it usable after finding a few apps to get around solutions. Battery life is crazy good atm.
Here's a good link to give ppl a rough idea of port status.

I see, they used my work on aosp, it contains some exact bugs i got before, i fixed some of them in the lastest build thanks to XZ dev discord
Camera has many issues. Fingerprint sensor. Few other small bits. But I love it. Shame battery dies so quickly due to "miscellaneous" app in battery usage.
New weekly build came out but I think no changes

Nevermind, and keep up your good work :good:
New nightly released was good, fixed a few smaller issues, but still the odd unresponsive lock screen once in 5, but only takes 1 second to hit the power button again.

How do you find the call quality?
It's garbled over bluetooth here, and in non-bluetooth calls the other person always complains they can hear an echo of their own voice.
Music quality over in-car bluetooth is fine though.
Apart from the above issue & the occasional random compilation error when applying a Substratum theme, it seems to run well so far.
I would be happiest if someone made a nice kernel, like the EX for our OmniRom featured XZ Kagura.
I would like to be able to play with that, but unfortunately I do not have time, and there are smarter people with much more experience @flar2 @_LLJY @AndroPlus

Amen to that. ROM is pretty stable with only few quirks so let the fun begin
Sent from my F8331 using XDA-Developers Legacy app
AOSP kernel I made a long time ago..
I use this rom and it does not detect my Sim
F8332 anyone has the same problem
