Hi
I wish to try CyanogenMod 10.1 on my Galaxy S II i9100, but i want to see the known issues or bugs first. I searched in Google for a updated list, but I only found references to the teamhacksung's web, wich is down now, also i found one list but is for 4.2.1 (not updated). Also i couldn't find it here in XDA nor CM wiki, only scattered bugs reports. Is the bugs in the list posted on the link still present? Can someone post a updated list please?
Thanks in advance.
There more than likely isn't an up to date list. It was the same with CM9. You need to either read the threads or try it out for yourself (or ask in the discussion thread if you have a specific question about something working or not).

Thanks for your answer. I know that CM have graphical problems due to lack of drivers. My interest is the camera, audio and 3d graphics (for HQ games like Asphalt 7). The camera works fully? (front/back camera, 1080p video recording, correct exposure levels) The audio works OK? (Mics, Speakerphone, No skips) Intense graphics apps and games doesn't crash?
I'll also ask in the discussion thread, thanks.
I don't use CM10 so I can't answer those questions, sorry.
Camera: poor compared to Stock Samsung Camera
Audio:Good,no prob.
Games:Asphalt 7 lags sometimes and has a low fps compared to stock Samsung
That's why I use Biftor ROM and Apolo kernel...phone was never faster.

I've searched a lot about why there are so many better audio apps on iOS.
What I've learnt is that Android is much harder to write for. Generally we have both UI lag issues but also audio lag issues. Combine this too and we have significant problems for say, a keyboard app.
Now what I want to know is what is the source of this and can it be improved.
I remember this problem with linux years ago. Eventually we than had ALSA, jack and all the rest. There's a lot to fixing latency in linux:
1) Realtime kernel is useful
2) ALSA or Jack... Pulseaudio and AudioFlinger I'm not quite sure why we'd want one but not the other??
3) Then there's the OS itself and keeping the relevent process at a good priority... but not too high to freeze interactivity.
So what's the analog for Android? What do I even search for to find info? Keywords I can think of at the mo are only "Android realtime" or "android lag" and both of these only produce semi useufl results.
Here's some threads but they seem to be UI related which would not be fully related to the example of a beatboxing app, which could have no UI and be audio only and still lag:

update:
If interested in this try searching for "PulseAudio" and "Audioflinger". Those were the 2 keywords I was looking for...
Audio latency
I'm also very interested in this topic... I found these two links:
http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/PulseAudio/Ports/Android and
http://arunraghavan.net/2012/01/pulseaudio-vs-audioflinger-fight/
However, this seems only to work on Galaxy Nexus so far... more work has to be done for other phones
Now of course I want to have this on my Defy+ (Quarx ICS cm9) however I'm not sure if this is even possible without a custom kernel (since bootloader is locked) - but it looks like the patches are only for bionic lib, not the kernel

Hi,
Is there any ROM based on Android 4.x which has Video recording not lagging? The same level of performance as on stock will be quite enough for me... No lagging while video playback would be also nice to have. I have tried Jokersax cm9 and cm10 and both didn't have these things working. Anyway, I would like to thank Jokersax and his work done to offer community the newest fancy stuff .
Or there's a common issue with drivers which prevents having video recording working stable in any ROM on Android 4.x? Is there any other option rather than waiting for official Android ICS release for MoPho?
Thank in advance for replying.

there's no drivers available for us to use for ICS/JB. so everything is hacked to kinda work. in this case it means lots of 2d related things don't work. video recording for example. JB is quite jittery at times. all due to lack of drivers.
if you want a stable rom with everything working. use a gingerbread rom.

CM7 by JOKERSAX is definately the best option for the most stable opperating system in my eyes, no offence to other builds or devs.
the cm10 version is running great for me after doing very small mods to get it working. I DO HAVE WORKING VIDEO ON CM10!!
The video illusions is the only video camera app ive had that works well and dosnt seem to run verry slow.. i had to disable HWA on the gallery and on the camera and the video cam app to reduce jitter and FC. but CM10 or any AOKP seems to be verry solid, i love to run AOKP JB roms from time to time to switch things up, THEBILL has a great selection to offer, jump to page 1 on any build to see what is still broken (borked?)
but the issue is that the drivers are hacked up from gingerbread and this is the best it will be + a few mods to improve quality until the release of ICS comes out, big hopes now with the photon Q being out and running ics/Jb
GOOD LUCK
let me know if i helped any!!

So I'm looking for a good, stable, almost 100% functional ROM that would be ICS/JB (preferably JB), and would have FM radio and call recording. There are tons of ROM's and I've tested quite a few, only to see that there's no FM radio or then there are some other bugs, like YouTube videos looking greenish or other ****. And missing Google Apps etc...
Any pointings to a good ROM will be appreciated.

Hi there, this is my first post but I'm not new to the world of custom ROMs.
I have had many ROMs over the years and have recently flashed the slimsaber 4.4.4 v9 with dorimanx 3.14.
All seems to be well apart from a few minor issues that are not of any concern. That is apart from YouTube! My favourite app. It will no longer allow my to select anything greater than 360p. Kind of annoying. I have tried many things to fix this. Like flashing the ROM again. Adjusting DPI to 200. Even used xposed installer. And I can't figure it out.
It was working fine on my previous ROM (jb. I went back to stock ROM) I have not reflashed since the problem but might try as a last resort.
Please can someone help with this. I have read many forums that date back a few years relating to this issue and have tried suggested fixes.
Why is this happening? Could it be a hardware problem?
Thanks
Mark

Hi
I suppose you searched already in slimsaber 4.4.4 thread for you tube problems? I saw several posts concerning this matter.
Does you tube properly work when using Browser (test not only with stock Browser but others like Dolphin).

Thanks for quick response.
YouTube only plays audio on stock browser. On dolphin it works the same as the app.
I'll check the threads again.
Are there any video drivers that can be installed. Is there a way of formatting that will rectify it? Any one have any suggestions?
@elemenopy
I don't quite get what the point is. I think our device's screen resolution is only 360p, right? So it doesn't make sense to try bigger resolutions in YouTube, as you will see no difference. Someone correct me if this is wrong.
As far as i know screen resolution is 480 x 800 pixels

Hi,
You can't install any video drivers onto the ROM as the correct ones are provided by the kernel.
If you really want higher than 360p, try using this modded youtube app:
[MOD] YouTube 4.4.11 (v5b), *1080p* / 720p HD (over WiFi & 3G), screen off playback
Please note that the screen resolution is 480p, but youtube only defaults to 360p.
Note: Dev-host link is a bit dodgy because one of the download buttons seem to be an ad. The correct download button is safe and I've used it on my S2.

Yeah, forgive my ignorance on that part. I'm back on stock 4.1.2 and YouTube only allows 360p. However, I guess the reason why I was hunting for this 'fix' was due to a pixelated image on YouTube when on the slimsaber rom. Also the stock browser would not play video image only audio. This has now gone back to normal now that I'm on jb.
