I was having an issue with my alarm in CM10. Many times the alarm app would hang/lock up/fail when the alarm would go off. This was very inconvenient as I use my phone as my alarm. I started messing with stuff and found that as long as cLock was not running, the alarm worked fine. I used Titanium Backup to rip cLock off my phone and have not had a problem since.
I am fine with this fix as I don't use the cLock widget, but I am wondering if there is a bug here. I would have put this in the Dev forum, but I can't post there yet.

Actually THIS is the correct place to post these questions/comments.
Your issues might be related to lpa.decode=true, a bug which I haven't published very well. Even after taking the above steps, it might be worth editing your build.prop to to change lpa.decode to false:
Code:
lpa.decode=false

Thanks, I will give it a try. I have never made a change like this before, where/how do I do that?

Here's a guide to editing your build.prop. Basically you're just opening the /system/build.prop file in a text editor to make the desired change. The lpa.decode line is towards the bottom. You can use the built-in File Manager and Editor unless you prefer ES File Explorer.
EDIT: I'd recommend making a copy of your build.prop file before you edit it. Something went wrong the first time I edited it and only about 80% of the file was written. WiFi stopped working for me the next time I rebooted the phone (it was perpetually "turning on") until I noticed the problem and fixed my build.prop.
So far, this seems to have done the trick. I will watch it for a few more days and report back on success/fail.

I've only been poking around in this amazing device for two days now, and thanks to these forums and the amazing mods submitted by the developers, I have been able to change all of the icons except one. Even though the Facebook icon is updated under the start menu, I cannot for the life of me get it to change in quicklinks. My reading of the forms has led me to the registry, and yes the startup icon points to the right path. I've noticed (and this may be the crux of the problem) that every time I reboot, sense creates a new start icon_htc_facebook png and qtc file(eventhough I've renamed the origonal file)in the Windows folder. My question is, is there any way to get the new Facebook icon to appear in quicklinks, or am I stuck with the default Facebook icon? Again thanks to the developers for all the cool stuff and advice which is been posted on this website. PS I'm looking forward to a fully working version of android for this device. Keep up the good work guys.

What software did you use to change your icon? Anyway, once you have changed you icon, use this clever software to clean up your icon cache. It will clears your old cache and replaces it with your new replaced icons. The software to use is SICC. Do a search in forum,you will find it.
I used JWMD, hCcomber, and CMSI. Clearing the cache by hand has produced no results. I look for the program you suggested. Thanks for the tip.
SICC didn't work. Clearing the cache doesn't seem to be the problem. For some reason, when the OS is rebooted, a new start icon_htc_Facebook png and qtc file is created in the Windows folder. This occurs even if the old files have been renamed. Previous programs I've used have been: JWMD,hComber, and CMSI. I think the solution to the problem is stopping the creation of the new PNG and QTC files in Windows. I just don't know how to stop them being created on restart.
Have you tried deleting the quicklink in question and recreating it?
PS while it may sound like I know what I'm doing, I assure you I really don't. Two days ago I didn't know what a PNG or QTC file was. This is a testament to the effectiveness of the posts offered on this forum.

Today, not for the first time, my alarm didnt turn on when it was supposed to (yes phone was in normal mode). I had it set for repeating on Thursday at 7:45 gmt and nothing. My roommate also didnt hear anything.
Its very annoying and also very dangerous as my exam term is quickly approaching. Anyone had same problems and managed to repair it? Or is there any different app for alarm?
This really never happened to till I updated to 2.1! After I updated to 2.1, the very first day my alarm didn't turn on. But fortunately it never happened again!
since I updated to 2.1 never happens to me

this as been related with task killers
if u use any u should put alarm on ignore list
1'm still on 1.6 donut... haven't experienced this.
i use it every day to wake me up for work.
Use alarmdroid. Search the market. It's so much better than the stock. There's flip to snooze (works pretty great) Speaking clock that speak what time it is on top of the alarm ringtone. and many other.

That could be it. I use one, but dont have auto-kill. I placed alarm on ignore, hope it will help.
I don't have that issue, but 1 or 2 times since I updated to 2.1, the snooze didn't work.

3rd time here. No task killers.
Definitely snooze is not working properly
I have figured out, the problem was due to Task-Killer only.
My problem is sure not dues to task killers and is exactly as in here,

alarm suddenly decides to snooze after 1h10min instead of 10 min, which in practice is not to snooze... Now I'm using alarm droid
Use Alarm Master and your problem is solved.
I had similar issue, but whit this app everything work perfect.
I can advice AlarmDroid: http://www.netzpurist.de/2010/11/alarmdroid/
it's free ;-)
sorry doublepost. plz delete
AlarmDroid
And I second (or is it n'th already) AlarmDroid. I was using it already in 1.6 and it was the first app I installed on 2.1. Does what it has to do and has the right options!
Hi everyone.
I am using the SalsaSense ROM. I am unable to post in that thread because I am new here, so I'm hoping someone here will be able to help me.
In the stock SMS app there is the option to delete old messages once a limit has been reached. I installed the ROM, recovered my messages, and enabled the option in the stock app with the limit set at 200. But my old messages are not being deleted. With one contact I have 7k+ messages, and since enabling the option I have sent and received several messages with them. When I had Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.6 installed beforehand, following these steps was enough to provoke it to keep my inbox in check. But not now.
Is this a problem with the ROM, or the stock app, or am I just unlucky?
I'm hoping someone here may have come across this and can help me out.
Many thanks, BurnseyBoi
I think you've been unlucky. It sounds like a ROM problem since it's beta.
You could delete them using an app like SuperSMS Delete (I think it's that).
Yeah, guess I'll just have to wait for an update to it. I had a look round the market and found the app you were referring to. Worked a charm, thanks very much! Now my phone is a bit speedier.
Yeah i noticed this, unfortunately its a problem with the ROM. I've got a lot of issues to iron out so it takes me a while to solve each one, rest assured though it will be fixed

I love this ROM! I forgot how much I missed the little Sense features and looks. My friend just got himself a Sensation, which is where I got the idea to browse around for a Sense ROM. Many thanks!

I'm trying to follow the build.prop editing suggestion, but adb doesn't list my phone under connected devices. I've tried while the phone is on, and in recovery.
Is there another way of successfully editing it?
Yeah, you can use Root Explorer from the Market. ES File explorer may work too, look in the app's settings for Root options.
Navigate to the directory with the build.prop and long press and I think there's an edit option if you use Root Explorer. Then you can just edit as you would normally via the phone.
Thanks! I already had ES File Explorer, didn't realise it had root options though.
Made both changes that JieeHD suggested, then powered it off and back on. I've never seen my phone go from power button to lock screen that fast in the 2 years I've had it! I definitely notice a speed improvement from making those changes. Everything just feels sharper and more responsive.
Many thanks!

I've tried them and can confirm they do speed things up.
Wish there was some option to use a standard notification bar, I think it would help.

This is not original development. This topic needs to be moved.

Rename customer.xml and you get bubble notifications back on lockscreen.
Enable call blocking (Not blocking mode), add this to feature.xml:
<!--Call Blocking -->
<CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg>true</CscFeature_Setting_EnableMenuBlockCallMsg>

No. It eventually went away for me though. If I was to guess, I'd try setup wizard. I haven't really looked into it though because it went away.

Cool, I appreciate the help. I found out after further research that you can go in to settings>application settings>all>help and then just disable that. That worked for me to get rid of the constant helpful tip.
Well I copy pasted the code into the features.xml file for the various Web browser additions, like perma-Desktop view mode and show user agent profile under advanced settings. But none of them worked. I looked through the web section to make sure there were no countering duplicates, and there wasn't.
I went ahead and rebooted into recovery, wiped cahce/dalvik, fixed permissions and booted back up and no go. Anyone get these settings working?

See, you shouldn't need to copy anything in, but simply change trues to false and so forth. If you pasted a line in, I'd be suspicious that you have the line in there already overriding the new one. Most of the CSC features are already in the file.

Yeah I checked through for duplicate lines and didn't see any of the 3 lines that I added before pasting them in.
Just to add to the mix, somehow adding 3 lines that affected the browser only, I found that my Samsung keyboard symbol overlay was missing. So I just deleted my custom features.xml and restored the backup and it's all back to normal again. Was also seeing wierdness with MMS with the modified xml as well.
Anyway I'll look again just to be sure, but trying to decide if I really care enough for it at this point.
Update: yeah for sure there isn't a single duplicate. I copied the XML to my desktop and searched through with keywords and there was nothing that matched. Then read through it line by line and saw a few entries that seem similar in purpose, but are worded differently. I am unsure how to modify these or which one I should modify at all to get the desired affect, so I am leaving it alone for now.
Ironically enough however I found a solution to an annoying "feature" that's been plaguing me for awhile now. Whenever I toggle to Camcorder or open up the camera app into Camcorder, it would ask me what video mode I want to shoot in. This was driving me nuts, and sure enough it's being caused by a CSC feature. Well I false'd it up and yay no more annoying popup. Problem is, just like with the web browser changes/additions to feature.xml, whenever I modify the file all of a sudden a bunch of other things break including MMS and my keyboard's symbol overlay. Wtf =/ It's so frustrating being right there and having the solution to one problem, and then opening up a can of worms in another.
I could understand if I somehow modified parts to the keyboard CSC, and that would be why it's breaking, but I'm not. I'm going in, finding ONE line, and changing true to false. That's it. Why is this breaking other parts of my CSC? Any ideas Adrynalyne?

I have a feeling it is the editor you are using.
Things like notepad add extra characters to files which can invalidate the entries and cause other errors. Try something like notepad ++.
This doesn't appear to be a mic issue, since I can still give commands to Ok Google and the like without issue. I did mess around with a Volume Boost mod that tweaked the mixer_paths.xml file a bit ago, and I'm wondering if that was the culprit. At the time, I didn't think to back up the original file, but the thread included a backup, which might have been for a different build (it looks like that backup has since been removed, so I can't check to verify).
Could someone upload the default "mixer_paths.xml" file for build 32.2.A.0.253, so I can see if that's where the fault lie?
Thanks for any help anyone may be able to offer.
