My information is:
USB OTG is limited by Android 2.x - it only can do USB accessory. USB OTG (aka host mode) starts with Android 3 and has not been backported.
(still wondering why its working on SGS2. anyone knows?)

GPS: its working (with a fast fix) but its often inaccurate.

Nightly #79.

Working with issues:
HDMI mirroring, playing videos in 1080p (such as LG Demos, or recorded/camera videos in full HD quality): TV shows just few seconds of the video and then black screen, then few seconds again, then black screen again... until the end.

Working well:
HDMI mirroring, playing Divx format in 720p: it's OK!

Problem since a long time:

Steps to reproduce:
-Enable "2G" in status bar control
-reboot
-in status bar is 2G enabled, but not in the system settings.

Its even worse. Setting 2G will reset itself after some time, so not even a reboot is needed for this to happen. Now the question is if this is just a GUI issue or is it really switching back to 3G?

Yes! Only with Use GPS satellites Checked.

@ marradr
i'm pretty sure that is what i use all the time. (enable GPS) and i'm pretty confident that it is what everybody uses.

i never had this issue. it doesn't seem to be an issue with cm. maybe try back up everything, wipe dalvik cache, and reinstall the latest cm ? could be apps behaving. so, maybe test the fresh cm without restoring anything to see if it persists ?

Have you noticed (as I've posted before) that our 2X already HAS mouse bluetooth support??

So if the purpose of OTG is to use mouse and keyboard with the optimus 2x, I can say that are no more necessary...

    not working as of nightly # 219 (2012.02.12)

    USB OTG (host mode) : (see dedors' post)
    voodoo sound : (will be replaced with a full patch by the author)

    working but with issues

    calendar : all day event reminder is on UTC time zone. (a well-known issue with android ?)
    led button brightness goes black : (see hackworks' post)
    data connection loss : (see vitaminxero's post) temasek may have found a workaround, see his post
    initial google account setup > menu > wireless setting redirects to mobile setting (see hbls00190's post)
    camera : crashes on changing zoom/preference while recording (see similar issue on issue tracker 3222 and 3929)
    camera : image quality drops after video mode. (see petyo.tsanov's post)
    camera : framerate is poor w/ front facing camera (see sandro's post)
    camera : volume keys take FFC picutre regardless of advanced setting
    headset play buttons don't work when phone is asleep. (see grognaz's post)
    unchecked Settings > Display > Auto-rotate screen also disables proximity sensor (see Keltek's post and a potential workaround)

    possible issues
    camera crashes upon rotation (see aremcee's & wfd's post)
    (i guess it is fair to say rare) BSOD

    other apps with issues
    adobe flash player (not stable?) youtube 360p and 720p work fine, but not 480p (for me)
    google+ 2.0 causes FC contacts when changing contact (see temasek's post)
    skype video chat (still video upside down ? needs confirmation)
    tango talk video is flipped (see sandro's post)
    viber : often crashes (see alexxio's post)
    smartshare : instantly crashes (see alexxio's post)
    gameloft cache download causes bsod : (see Kostja_V's post)
    google map 6.0.x : compass is broken (?)

    edit: if something is not working (and you are not sure), i suggest backup, wipe dalvik-cache, reinstall the latest cm, and test it again before you restore anything else, to make sure it is cm issue. please use cm stock kernel and preferably RIL matching your BB. also check your custom_backup_list.txt and make sure it is a culprit-free

    this is not an official feature list, but rather a personal gathering of scattered information. (or maybe a poll)

    i start this thread to give you a summary of the up-to-date status of cyanogenmod-7.
    basically, i will try to compose a list of working features and not, so you can check them in a single page, not search through 6000+ posts on cm nightly thread.
    that way, it would be easier than ask "is it working ...?" there.

    i will try to keep it up-to-date as much as possible.
    if something is not on the list, let me know, and i will try to find it out as much as i can.
    if something is wrong on this list, let me know here. (i am no expert. so, if i am wrong with something above, please bear with me)
    i will try to keep up with posts here, and make changes...

    edit: i will try to update the list for the latest nightly.

    edit: i personally thank everyone who has helped me make the list as thorough as possible.

    I tested a gameloft market game, as suggested, when the screen powers down and i try to access the phone the screen remains black (but the backlight goes on)
    However once the game finishes downloading its cache, the phone is accessible again.

    According to some postings of 177 many bugs have been fixed with the new userspace. I cannot reflash rightnow, but i suggest people re-confirm issues with 177.

    I saw reports of the flash issues being fixed at least.

    I have an issue that i didn't find anywhere (hard to search thru nightly thread thou).

    Contant name does not show for incoming calls, nor in the Call Log, unless contact has the number as Home number. At the moment i change number type from Mobile to Home, call log recognizes the person right away.
    Is this know issue? Its not on the list.

    Thanks

    EDIT: never mind, looks liked it was caused by faulty titanium restore. I manually deleted contacts from it, restarted phone, and it seems to work.
    Just if anyone would have the same problem..
