List of bugs/issues and possible correction:

Gameboid, GBCoid Gensoid and all those based Emulators have A & B Buttons overlaped.

Only workaround is assign capacitive buttons to those A & B buttons.

Thumbnails with green/purple line from taken pictures
Wifi not working. invalid MAC Address

Override MAC Address:
-Install Terminal Emulator from Market.(with data or via PC)
-Run terminal and enter these commands: (where is "11:22:33:44:55:66" you should place your original mac address)
su
setprop persist.sys.wifimac mac_param=11:22:33:44:55:66
Distorted sound about 70% of max volume

edit this line on build.prop:

It seems that you have an invalid Mac address. try fix permissions with CWM.

if does not work, override mac address doing this:

-Install Terminal Emulator from Market.(with data or via PC)
-Run terminal and enter these commands and where is "11:22:33:44:55:66" you should place your original mac address(you can see your mac address printed on a sticker under the battery.)

su
setprop persist.sys.wifimac mac_param=11:22:33:44:55:66

reboot and proof it

Photos are ok, thumbnails are messed up only

Edit: and after 4 consecutive photos camera stacks. You need to exit and re-enter to work properly.

Aurora 2.0.4
Kernel:2.6.35.7
Wipes:all
Bug:Audiobook Player 2 not skipping to next track.

When I listen to audiobooks with Audiobook Player 2 it stops playing after every file if nothing else is going on with the phone(screen off). It is enough to press vol buttons or power button, then it starts with next file.

If I leave screen on, charger connected or have any other app in background doing something(for example downloading something with Opera), it skips automatically to the next file like it should.

It is almost as the phone enters some kind of sleep mode so it doesn't change track.

I have used this app with all other roms without problems. I have tried other audiobook players but this is by far the best that is why it is bugging me.

Can someone help? Could someone atleast try if the same thing happen to you? It is a free app.

Link to app: Audiobook Player 2

Edit: This problem has been atleast with last 5-6 versions of Aurora, since the earlier audio skipping track issue, but this is not the same problem.

For fellow Saunalahti users (and possible others in similar situation), here is a modified framework.jar (for Dzo's Aurora ROM versions 2.03_test and 2.04). It makes the phone stop thinking it's roaming when connected to an operator in the same country (operator with the same MCC to be exact). So, no more need to enable data roaming to use it at home network.

The concept is from here, although details differed a bit.

I take no responsibility for anything, and using this might incur costs in some countries (if an operator with the same MCC as your's allows data roaming for extra cost, or if I've f****d up something). With Saunalahti in Finland this works for me, and I did test it with a foreign SIM card and it identified roaming correctly. However, the risk will always be your own if you choose to use this.

I can confirm the camera issues. It's not always, but sometimes the photos get cropped, greened, pinked, doubled, and happened to me the issue you've reported too.

Using latest aurora and latest kernel (the one with some usb changes).

I'm not sure if this is the proper thread for this question so feel free to delete or move it to the proper place.

I was wondering what the downgrade procedure is. I'd like to go back to one of the official GB roms. Do I just follow the standard procedure as when upgrading an official ROM?

It seems to me some kind of incompatibility with ics. Try to contact audiobook's dev.
