I was observing the progress of this ROM for some time now and tried to read all the threads about it but i'm still confused about what works and what doesn't in this rom. I know there is summary in first post about it, but wanted to make sure about those points before trying myself:
GPS - is gps working ? (specially with program IGO)
Radio - since it says partially included, what's not working?
Camera - does camera have autofocus and is able to take pictures at max quality?
Battery life - did anyone tried to do some testing is battery life better or worse (compared to stock 2.1)
Accelerometer - is it working properly?
Thank you for all your comments.
GPS - gps just works
Radio - radio yes FM radio no
Camera - no
Battery life - i really don't know
Accelerometer - a little bit slow but working
ok, thank you for your fast reply, didn't think to get it here from owain himself ;> good luck in your work.
Battery drain is ok only 3g is a problem
With 3g my phone is up for 1 to 2 days.
When i use 2g with wifi 3 to 4 days with normal use.
With stock i had 2 days battery life
MiKa
good to hear that, i'm currently getting 3-4 days with stock so maybe i'll get even more with this rom.. but first i rly need to have working camera gona wait till it's fixed, lets hope it'll happen soon.
the camera's autofocus appears to work, but the flash led doesn't work.
I have been looking but can not find info. I have not been addicted to flashing in some time so I am a little out of the loop. I know some issues just never pan out and the fact that the issue remains becomes common knowledge to the xda community.
But yea like I said I am a little out of the loop and am having issues finding a status on gps in Cyanogen.
Thank you
Sorry for asking a dumb question

By default it is broken. There is a flashable fix on here which makes the GPS work (18 feet accuracy lock within about 20 sec, amazing I know for this phone) but it also has a problem. It only works after the phone is freshly restarted. . . later on if you use the GPS it will never lock.
So to summarize:
1. GPS doesn't work out of the box
2. Fix makes the GPS lock on really fast but only works after a reboot. Cannot lock on any satellites later on.
There is now a fix (not official) for users like myself who have an EXTERNAL gps puck for cm7. I bought a used bt359 off ebay for very little money and this seems to be the best solution as we dont know we will EVER get true drivers for gps on vibrant.
Thank you guys

I have the simply honey v5 rom. First GPS settings were wrong (mSassisted and such). GPS works only once as said. Compass doesnt work at all and it doesnt turn off the compass once you are done. It eats up the battery! Basically opening gmaps or any app that uses gmaps is not practical due to battery drainage.
Hey. guys. first off, i hope this is also the ray general forums.
now, my problem is that since i've started using custom roms and kernels the wifi is quite ****ty. i tested the range step by step and just after three feets and 3 of 4 bars of wifi strength, wifi just disconnects as if it is out of range !! is this a know problem ? is there a fix? i've used FXP, Pa, PAC and JellySandwich and all have the same results except for pac 15 and it's kernel and after updating to v16.1, it got screwed as well !!
HELP PLEASE !
Hi... I have trouble with my wifi since yesterday...
The problem is that the phone can connect to the network perfectly but it has a really low link speed, 5 mbps and the wifi signal strenght is pretty good. I don't understand why this is happening.. .
What I have notice is that when I turn the wifi on, at first when the wifi icon is grey the wifi link speed is at 65 mpbs which I think that it was were it always has been but immediately turns to 5 mpbs.
Another thing that happens is that if I let the wifi on, after sometime it gets kinda like stuck, the connection is lost and the icon is grey but I can't turn it off.
My phone is a samsung galaxy s II (I9100) running CM rom, 10.2-20131014-NIGHTLY
Any advice about how to fix this problem?

You should try using a different rom like slimsaber rom by Fusionjack or cyanogenmod sabermod by Markox89.
Thanks for the reply, gsstudios.
I have a question, isn't there a way to fix the problem without having to use another rom? I don't think that the problem lays in the rom that I'm using, because like I said before, the problem started yesterday and I have the phone for a couple of years now.

You could try a different kernel like dorimanx 9.44 v005. If that bootloops, try dorimanx 8.44 v004. Since your WiFi toggle freezes after sometime, it could be a problem with the ROM. It could be due to some kind of corruption of the WiFi component in the ROM or maybe there is some interference with your WiFi signal.
Hope this helps, gsstudios
I installed Kernel_Dorimanx-V8.43-[12-21]-[24-10]-JB-SGII-PWR-CORE from dorimanx site and it didn't help with the situation, still I get a link speed of 5 mbps. Now, after flashing the kernel I have a new problem: I don't have root access anymore.
What can I do?

You should be able to get root access if you update SuperSU (if it's installed).
I can't update anything or do much things with the low link speed of wifi that the phone has...

Can't you send the file through your computer? Here is the flashable zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/696/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.46.zip?retrieve_file=1
Your problem with wifi seems very weird. Are you using 5ghz or 2.5ghz channel? If you've tried both, check if you wifi setting have changed on your router. And are you sure there is no interference that is potentially slowing down your signal?
Well, now things got worse, wifi directly won't turn on: not from the icon, not from the toggle bar. It's dead. I had the wifi on automatic so I don't know what band was on..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Edit: I found a way to get the wifi working again. But still I got the same problems like before: low link speed and after sometime the wifi freeze and I have to reboot the phone to get it working again.
On a side note, I have downloaded an app a few days back called wifi status wich is a widget app that let you see the wifi link speed and I don't understand a thing: it shows 2 things: the wifi link speed, for example 5mbps and down that shows something liike: -63dBm
That thing dBm is something that always change numbers...
Any idea of what that is?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Right now I have a link speed of 19mbps, a few minutes back was 26mbps... But it went back to 19 mbps... I don't know what is happening with the phone.
Help please, I don't know what to do...

My GPS was works fine before I install 5.1.1 !
TF-201 X Axis Issue
I'm wondering if anyone who is using the latest noticed if there is an x axis toggle? I replaced my digitizer and have the x axis reversed.
Tested just now, I'm on KatKiss 5.1.1 v28 couldn't get GPS to lock on. Very cloudy / raining today tho and I've never tested GPS on my prime before.
Tested again on a clearer day also had close to full WiFi reception, was not able to get GPS lock for about 5 mins while outside.
overclocking issues
I am unable to overclock the device after installing katkiss. i can select 1700 MHz in the menu but it just reboots after i set it and then it goes back to 1500. I tried using setcpu as well but same result.
Also, every time it boots it says android is starting and it takes very long to boot. Even if i reboot it myself it does the same thing.
Anybody have a solution for this?
