Yeah, that's quite bad. Also i wish they hadn't force this new "cid" icon everywhere, i really don't like it, probably the worst logo/mascot remodel ever.

Thanks for the info man! Yeah I agree, I too would rather have a fully functional auto brightness than the gyro but I recognise that they are important for many. I guess we can compile our own nightly with the open source HAL.

I use Google maps quite a bit, but it would be very nice for the battery to have the option of configuring the auto-brightness a bit better

While I agree that it's not perfect, auto brightness works alright in most cases I've been in. Neither too dark nor bright. You just need to tweak the values and delete the last threshold (from 10002 to infinity). The sensor level is limited to 10000 so this last level is useless.

I've been using CM9 for a week now and it really is brilliant. It's as stable as CM7 was for me.

Default Themes

I see that the theme engine is working now. Can someone point me out to where I can get working themes to try. Has anyone tried any other theme?

So you want us to list the settings for you?

Wouldn't it be easier if you created a backup and tried the rom; looked at a video review of the rom on YouTube; or checked out the changelog?

You can't expect people to list all of the settings for you.
