[CM7.2 Alpha8] Questions, Answers & Bug reporting!

---

Here we can talk about CM7/GB ports
You all know that Marcellusbe started to port CM7/GB to our phone. He just released an alpha2 built (for testing purposes only!).
Here you can ask question, and report bugs of the current CM7/GB built (alpha2). Do not report bugs in the official CM7/GB thread (in the development thread), to keep it clean!
This thread will be constantly updated with the list of the bugs, so dont report the same bug if there is already in the list!

Questions & Answers


-My wifi isn't connecting to my router in CM7.2 Alpha8. What should i do?
It won't detect wifi if Name (SSID) is hidden. It works fine if Name (SSID) is visible. So, go in your router settings (192.168.0.1 for me) and Unhide Name (SSID).

No bugs found till now except little lag due to absence of 3d acceleration (and things officially non working YET).
*Calls are working fine.
*No more sleep bug.
*Excellent battery life.

Backlight works randomly.
Worked while booting up for the first time.
Then doesnt.

Rom manager is kinda unstable. Reboot into recovery in it actually brought up the recovery mode with lotsa E :// errors and the phone booted automatically with a flickering screen.

I guess this is a general prob with the CWM Recovery in our phone.

CM7 Full report

Well it was nice to see cm booting on sg3 due to the excellent work by marcellusbe and team
Kudos to them all!

I'll start with flashing
Flashed as any Rom would no harm
First boot took a bit longer but its usual
On boot i was welcomed by the Android Setup App
The Rom feels nice and is stable with normal use (No FCS no hangs ) what features are stated to be working work others dont

Now comes the apps part

Camera : upon opening a white screen comes with just the usual controls on taking a picture an android robot is captured
Video capture gives a blank black video

Video player doesnt play videos that used to play on all other roms(captured by sg3 cam)
Music player plays mp3s and plays them well

Most of the new functions in settings app work
cm settings
status bar tweaks work(all of them0
In render effect some modes like red/green/blue/amber/salmon/fuscia work
(Clicking on red gives blue and vice versa)
Calibrated N1 (all 3 modes) dont work

Overscroll glow works and so do all the lockscreen options

Live wallpapers work although some specific settings in some wallpapers gave fcs

No T9 prediction in dialer


Whn booted into recovery ( by key combo) the menu options appear and its clear its cwm 3.2 but the screen keeps flickering constantly but i was able to scroll up and down the options but couldnt select one though

Some apps i couldnt try coz no data network as of now but will get soon





Some spelling mistakes may have been done
I may have forgot some things too
My apologies for that

Thnx
