bug report

Hi, here are some annoyances I found.

1. "download music info" & "performance control" crash upon [every] startup.

2. status bar is opaque (it's not transparent).

3. "Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped", every time I switch themes. Might even cause device to reboot.

.

.

1. Goto settings/apps/all/ and disable download music info
It won't annoy anymore

2.you can turn it on in advanced settings or changing the low ram config to false in build.prop

3. You can contact cyanogenmod for that

I really like this rom. It's fast and responsive, but missing some important functions:
- brightness slider on status bar
- torch toggle in QS drawer
- torch on longpress home button on lockscreen (i use torch a lot )

Bugs i have found:
- music fc
- performance controls fc (not anymore after i wiped cache and dalvik once more)
- lost connection with wifi ap once and couldn't reconnect (connecting with nexus 7), this could be nexus problem (custom rom) but the wifi ap worked again when i restarted phone
- built in browser keeps fc-ing after 1-2min of use and it is very laggy when it works
- in reboot menu i have reboot, recovery and DOWNLOAD options - download option takes me to cwm


for those who can't wait for brightness slider:
smokesman suggested: "install this:http://d-h.st/ZV2" - i tried it and it works perfectly


i'm using it now as daily rom as it is the best KK rom i've found for ray, current bugs aren't a deal breaker (the only bug that concerns me is wifi ap, but that could be one time thing) but i am missing torch toggles a lot

1. Brightness slider is explicitly not present but slide on statusbar to change brightness does exist.
2. Torch is what i am trying to figure out and i hope with the next release you will have your toch running
3. Music info, just disable it in settings/apps/all and it wont annoy
4. Wifi, brother i never experienced such a thing, wifi works for me like as smooth as butter.
5. Download mode will take to download mode if USB is connected

Hi,
Issues 1 & 2 are now working.

This is one of the smoothest ROMs I've tried for Ray, very fast and responsive. :good:

I got one more question, there is no "torch" switch in picture taking mode (as shown in attached photo) [it is present in video recording though]
@enlev
As for the brightness slider, I'm using it right now (shown in attachment too), I don't know if this is the same thing you are talking about.

Cheers.

On another rom, I use Xuimod, an Xposed module that allows torch with home button.

MIUI Lover here

Hello, i've been using MIUI since GB to JB, and since the MIUIv5 (JB) is too big to our device now, i choose this ROM to be my new one.
but still missing some of the best Features in some ROM. cuz for me, MIUI is Perfect..

now, i suggest.:

1. Torch app, esp. in lockscreen,(hold home button), like the other guy was suggesting Above.
2. data monitoring (the bandwidth displayed on status bar)
3. ***music on lockscreen (not that necessary, only if possible, that would be great. ^_^)
[Q]
4. can we edit icons on lockscreen?
5. does the cam image has to be wide? (i prefer the full 8mp one, not the zoomed, fit on screen)
[minor Prob.]
***6 on #3, this would be a good replacement, [Music app shortcut on lockscreen], the problem is, it doesn't do anything. it just unlocks screen.
