CM9: current issues? - Motorola Photon 4G

I can not read through all of the close to 10,000 posts in the CM9 thread. Can someone point me to a current list of issues /bugs with it?
(I know 4G does not work, but what else...?)
Thanks.

Really? They are listed in the first post, lazy
sent from my kick ass MIUIv4 MoPho

Thanks for the insult, but I am looking at the first post right now and I see no such list. I am talking about unofficial CM9.

Gaming is hit and miss, slightly laggy due to lack of proper 2d libs, stock camcorder app doesn't work (use video illusion), rotation bug that causes stuff to crash while rotating. That's about it.

I pulled something like 18 hours mostly idle from 100% to 15% the other day on the latest CM9.

Depends on who you ask. Some people say they have terrible battery life. My experience has been pretty good. I could always make it through a full day of moderate use. Havnt ran the latest version though so I'm not sure of battery past 6.1.

battery life without data on is about two to two and a half days.
as for bugs what's mentioned above is about all. a couple other randoms ones. nothing big though.

Wow, sounds good.
The version I tried some time ago was all jaunty, and battery life stunk. Looks like I will try this version tonight.
(I just looked and the one I tried earlier was a prior and less stable CM9...

Synergy would random reboot when I app restored all my apps. It's viper for win

uhhh, ViperROM is senseless. It says it in the thread title.

Actually they both have Sense and Senseless roms. So, which are you referring to?
Most likely you are asking about Sense based roms.
I have ran both and currently am sticking with Nightly builds of Synergy. I just love the speed. And, my internet speeds on 3g, 4g, and wifi are all extremely faster with Synergy.

I'm definitely referring to the Sense roms. Didn't even know Viper and Synergy had Senseless versions.
They both sense, for battery life stability Viper all the way for more speed and nice Transitions Sinergy

These are the only two that I have flashed thus far and I have been able to try these out for about three days each now and haven't noticed anything very different between the two... The phone is still really fast regardless of which I have installed and the battery life is disappointing (~ 9-10 hours) compared to stock (~13-16 hours). I think I will flash something else and maybe come back to these two at some point to see if anything has improved.

Ummm, try Showdown 1.0.
I like viper over synergy, more stability and I like his oc daemon script. Showdown is nice and very esthetically pleasing and its snappy but it lacks full stability Imo as well. Hope that helps.
So far every rom has given me around 10 hours of battery with moderate use if I don't play stuff like order and chaos all day.

No I got better battery life before I rooted and romed too. Strange right? I don't mind the lesser battery life though since I get better performance and features. 10 hours is still a full day and that's with Pandora going all day, texts and emails

I loved Viper, will go back to it once I'm finished playing with CM9.
I got better than 15 hours on my newest 3D. But I don't charge half charged batteries or let my phone go completely dead before charging either. I'm really old school when it comes to rechargeable batteries.

Looking for recommendations for alternatives to VillainROM

Does anyone have any good recommendations for Custom ROMs that are just as good as VillainROM if not better as I've been having problems with it since I first started playing with it a few months back, the most notorious of which has been the battery draining within a couple of hours of fully charging it up!
Criskelo is the rom.you should try and stay with.

What's it like, battery-wise? The reason why I ask is that hopefully if I try this and it'll fix my modem problem, the battery won't drain without me having to carry a spare in case of emergency...

+1 on this, it's an excellent ROM.
Great battery life and you can leave it stock looking or you can modify it with themes and even more customisable ROMs (surgeons).
HyperDroid just release an update or you can try Foxhound 2.6

Hyperdroid is the way to go
I tried Foxhound and it's not bad but I don't like the fact that it takes an age to load up the start screens plus the pages for the Apps aren't numbered at the bottom... (I know I'm nitpicking but it's just one of those things that annoys me) So I'll be trying out the others tonight along with the Battery Calibration App that was mentioned in the Foxhound 2.6 thread as well.
MIUI or cyanogenmod. Try both and see what you like more.

Best ROM for battery life?

Well Ive been running CleanROM DE for a while now and I like it. Problem is the battery life is terrible for me. I've tried everything and I just cant improve it. I get about a 10 percent drop in an hour with light to medium usage. If the screen is on I can literally watch he bar drop.
what other ROMs can I try that seem to have good battery life?
Either of Chingys roms.

I get fairly good life on newts one xxx rls. I got about 10 hrs today while streaming over 4g, texting, 2 calls and some Facebook. I'm sure I can get better battery life after I get over the excitement of sense 4
I have CleanROM DE 1.4 and it's the best battery life I've had, which leads me to believe you should be looking more for a different kernel. I've tried upwards to 10 different ROMs. I'm using the 3.13xx kernel he posted in Post #2 of that ROM thread.
Also, just a note, upgrading the firmware helped tremendously. Not just using the patch, but taking the dive and flashing the RUU. My phone got better with both battery life and heat.

Calibrate the battery how? by running it all the way down and recharging it? Yet that happens a lot actually lol

Battery Monitor Pro is great. Even logs all that data and has nice graph. It also allows you to swap batteries and also the battery data with it so each spare battery you have is correctly calibrated.

I hope you don't mean recalibrating by clearing battery stats in recovery, cause that does absolutely nothing for battery life.

Mean Rom ICS vs. Viper Redline ICS

I'm trying to figure it out which ICS rom to flash based on battery life and I've narrowed it down to Mean Rom ICS and Viper Redline ICS, and I was wondering if anyone would mind posting pics of the battery times.
MEAN ICS v2.0
I'm currently running MR ICS 2.0 and I'm getting pretty decent batter life. I'll have a screen shot in the morning as I haven't actually measured so I'll do an overnight test and have the screenshot up in the AM. I haven't tried the ViperROm though.
I use MR also. Pretty decient useage and i get a solid 15 hours out of it. I tried Vipers ICS in the beginning and was getting about the same. Im not sure what he has changed since the first release. I would post a pic but i just switched back to a gingerbread Rom. ICS to me has some bugs and GB i was getting better battery life and faster performance.
Hope this helps
Any one have pictures ?

I went from Viper to MeanRom and never looked back. Even using Viper's CPU Control I still don't get the battery life that I do from Mean. Not to mention Mikey is focused on one sole device and Viperboy's attention is divided by at least two (3D and 4GLTE) maybe more I don't go to all the forums. Also, I use gps a lot my phone (Hardware Ver 2) runs a lot cooler with Mean then Viper when using the gps for hours upon hours. I've even used it for a 14 hour singe day drive once the screen was never off (I did use a car charger of course lol)
MeanROM.
Thanks!
Thanks Everyone! I decided to flash Mean Rom!

Or it could be what he has on his Screen. For Example he could have an alternative Launcher with one homescreen and a clock widget. And also i heard that if you use a regular black wallpaper it could save you quite amount of power. So maybe could throw in a Black Wallpaper in there.

Best rom you've ever flashed

In your opinion , which rom is the best you've ever experienced on the HTC amaze ?
By best I mean; smoothness, battery life, less amount of problems , looks
so basically I'm asking which your favorite rom is
Fourth Bar Infusion was to me the best rom i've seen for the Amaze so far.. the only issue i had with it was that the signal bars were broken
CM10, followed closely by SpeedRom 7.8 and Fourth Bar Infusion.
Until CM10 is finished - NRG Stock 8/1 - EVERYTHING works, and battery life is amazing.

Honestly, even if he did, i'd be a little against using it. Nothing against NRG, or course, but last time I checked no Sense 4.X Roms or Phones have WiFi calling. I love my WiFi calling, and after Hurricane Sandy came barreling over head taking my closest tower down for days... I don't wanna give up that option.
Best 3.6 based Rom was speed Rom. Cm10 is good on battery life for me but I didn't find it as smooth as sense 4. Teamvipers sense 4.1 Rom (one posted by Leo and later thread was closed for whatever reason) has been the best Rom for me thus far. Only downside is no working Bluetooth but it's a fair trade off for 4 hours+ screen on time I will post a couple screen shots of my current run and it's buttery smooth just posted screen shots of today's usage with 44% left to go and I play a lot of temple run (hence the screen on time is high and browse via wifi all the time so it's constantly on)

I agree if people want everything working with decent battery life (not necessarily the best but to gain something you must lose something and if it's worth the sacrifice go for it) the amaze on the Htc stock Rom was a beast on it's own what always irked me about this device was it's crappy battery life compared to my Nexus one. Hence I have decided to sacrifice Bluetooth capability for basically never ending battery life on the team vipers Rom I have settled down on. However I do flash anything new to keep my device funky and fresh I still have yet to try your bulletproof reloaded sense 4.1 Rom eclipse, maybe I will flash it tonight and see if I can get even better battery life

The best Rom is the most stable Rom I've used, it's also one that's not being developed anymore "RMS Quicksense v7.0". It's clean and I've never had a freeze or error with it.
fourth bar infusion is pretty awsome and is my favorite by far

I see but the weird thing was that when I flashed team nightmare sense 4.1 I got horrendous battery life so I ended up going back to speed rom (at that time cm10 wasn't fully functional) do you guys plan on continuing work on that rom? Because Leo version seemed to to have everything buttery with tremendous battery life. Is kanging (sorry don't know proper term) not allowed? Aren't there a lot of roms that are kanged? Guess I am confused...
