Say what?

With v025 I actually changed the config for the light sensor to react within 512ms instead of 1024ms and also did some slight touch-ups to the brightness borders/targets.

For me it reacts a whole lot more quickly.

Hmm... somehow its fast when you light up the screen, but slower when darkening it.

Through contacts, create a new contact of your number, and put your picture there. Next time you send a msg, it should appear.

The up and down rate is the same... 32768

If I emulate a bright light source by using a LED flashlight on the lightsensor it goes up to full-throttle after a short delay (once the light sensor got over the shock), and when I cover it up to emulate a sudden darkening it falls down to the lowest level in the same manner it scaled up.

EDIT: This change is sooooooooooo tough-roughly tested it isn't even funny anymore as I changed values and rebooted for countless times.

Well it doesnt matter anyway. I always set brightness to lowest. The light hurt my eyes, especially if I am holding it all day.

Pressed thanks instead of reply...well .
I think play music+maps are a killer couple.
Make sure you have gps off and that you're not running all day with 3g on (data). Also, tell us what apps are shown in applications -> running services and in cached services (press menu button when in running services)..and, is sync on?

Edit: ok, you've allready said sync/background data is off...
Just tell us what apps are shown in running/cached apps. I get around 2days with my style of use (wifi/3g/sync sometimes on/background data always on/bunch of useless apps&widgets) but i've removed maps/play music that were always active..

MY GOAL!! (READ BEFORE SCROLLING DOWN)
................................................
Before you continue into the next part, please READ HERE!

Of course, my goal is to provide help to people who are having problems with bugs and installation. If you reading this now, please remember this FOREVER:

................................................
BUGS LIST & SOLUTIONS...
...............................................
(X) means confirmed.
(?) means not confirmed.
................................................
:: v025 Bugs ::
................................................

- Transparent Status Bar (X)
Solution: Don't set transparent status bar in Settings
OR
Use a compatible theme and launcher.

- Phone Crashes When Received a Call while using an app that requires more memory resulting in unable to answer the call. Some people also experience lags when received a call. (X)
Solution: Disable Call Me Louder in GingerDX settings.

- FM Radio is buggy, like the speaker and headphones bug. (X)
Solution: B.Jay had informed he won't be fixing this bug. So, try using a internet radio app. Search it on Play Store. Or, try replacing the Radio.apk with radios from other ROMs.

- Phone suddenly reboot (X)
Solution: Probably on low memory.
Too many big apps installed. Uninstall useless ones. Using Alfs may reduce this problem.

- CPU Frequency Settings in Cyanogenmod Settings Is Not Working. (X)
Solution: Use SetCPU to set frequencies
OR
Install a custom kernel.

- Root Browser sometimes hangs or force close. (X)
Solution: Wait for developer to release new version of the program or use Root Explorer or ASTRO File Manager.

- Stock camera have zoom settings, but it is not working. (X)
Solution: Our phone don't support zooming. If you really want to zoom, use Camera ZOOM FX or some other apps with this feature.

- Google Play Music is very laggy & buggy. (X)
Solution: Install other better music players such as PlayerPro or PowerAMP.
...OR...
The stock Gingerbread Music.apk is in the "Extras" on B.Jay's MediaFire folder. Download it, and replace /system/app/Music.apk with the Stock GB one and reboot.

- Superuser (ChainsDD's) can't update the SU binary. (X)
Solution: Flash Chainfire's SuperSU
Will be updated at the given location when a new version comes out.

Solution: Disable the rotation animation in CyanogenMod Settings.
(Credits to biscoitu)
OR
Re-flash the ROM.

1. 50% of the bugs can be fixed by installing a custom kernel. 80% of the bugs are not real bugs, I only list them down because someone considers it as bugs.

Okay, here's what you do:

1. Charge your battery to 100%.
2. In Cwm, wipe the battery stats.

Hmm.. I tried it once and it works. I forget what ROM is it from.

And, as I stated there, he would not ever fix the FM Radio.

Firstly, he dont feel like fixing something he dont use.

Secondly, he dont have the sources for it.
