Fixes:
Missing Market/Google Apps (or market force closing):
You either forgot to download and flash Gapps, or got the wrong one, or RomManager/Clockwork didn't flash it right. If you used are on nightly 11 or newer or RC2 or newer you will need the latest gapps. They were updated 03/07 (20110307).
Download the CM7/Gingerbread Gapps Universal here and flash in recovery
While in recovery remember to wipe cache/dalvic and Fix Permissions (after flashing while still in AmonRA recovery go to "Other > Fix apk uid mismatches").
GPS:
Firstly, Cyanogen himself knows this is a problem
cyanogen said:
The GPS in the Evo is the buggiest thing I have ever seen. Before 2.3, we were using binary blobs for the GPS driver which contains who-the-hell-knows-what from HTC to fix these things. Now we are using opensource code that is based on Qualcomm reference designs which is pretty close to correct but sometimes the hardware just fails certain calls for no apparent reason (and sometimes they work just fine).
This is a blocker bug for 7.0 final, so it'll get resolved.

There is a "temporary fix" that seems to work for most people. It does not work 100% of the time nor does it work on 100% of phones. (Sorry I couldn't find the original poster of this for credit, if someone knows who discovered this I will give credit where it is due).
Make a Nandroid of your current CM7 setup.
Boot into recovery and perform a full wipe (or use Calkulin Format ALL zip)
Flash any Sense ROM
Open the Market and download MSL Reader, write down MSL.
Open Dialer/Phone and type ##4772579# (##GPSCLRX#)
When it asks you for a password type in your MSL
Reboot phone
BE OUTSIDE
Turn on GPS and open Maps, allow it to fully lock your location (may take a few minutes, do not just wait for initial lock).
Leave GPS on
Turn off phone, reboot into recovery.
Nandroid restore your CM7 backup

Wifi Sleeping
This is yet another tricky issue. For some the "fix" works but others say it does nothing and makes the problem worse. Some say that the problem is the router or security type (WEP theoretically is to blame).
Go to: Menu>Settings>Wireless & networks>Wi-Fi settings>Menu>Advanced>Wi-Fi sleep policy>Never
Facebook Contacts do not sync:
There are two fixes for this:
By phone:Open Facebook app settings> Sync Contacts: pick either sync existing if you only want to match up current contacts or pick sync all if you want to add Facebook friends to your contacts list.
Now open your Contacts app and select a contact to "fix": then hit Menu>Edit Contact>Menu>Join
You will have to do this will all bad contacts.
By computer: Start on your phone and go to Facebook settings and sync contacts as before. Then go to your homescreen>Menu>settings>Accounts and sync and manually sync BOTH Google and Facebook contacts.
Then go to your Gmail on your computer (You can probably do this through your phone's browser but I have not tested it).
Click: Contacts then "More actions \/" then "Find and merge duplicates..." Be sure to double check them!
After that be sure to go back to your phone and manually sync. It may alert you saying that a LOT of contacts have been deleted, just accept that.
Wimax Disconnect Bug:
Problem with wimax/4G disconnecting? Open "Terminal Emulator" and type:
Code:
su <press enter>
killall dhcpcd <press enter>
Swype double tap to change word not working:
This is an issue with the text selection built in to Gingerbread itself. There are two fixes that are essentially the same. First is to single tap the word (placing the cursor in or next to it) then tap the "Swype" key. The second is to upgrade to the latest version of Swype (be sure to uninstall and current version). Instructions are in the next post. The most recent version simply stops trying to change the word on double tap so you will still have to tap the "Swype" key to change the word.
That is all I have for Fixes! Next post will be Tweaks and/or workarounds!
Tweaks to CM7:
4G:
4G/Wimax is a part of the nightlies and is in RC2. Simply update to the latest nightly/RC to enjoy!
HDMI:
#teamwin has this one figured out as well! As of this posting sound through HDMI is still not working but it works through the phone still (or external headset/speakers plugged in the headphone jack). You can download the app through the Market (Click here for market page). This no longer requires an accelerated kernel but it is helpful. If you are running CM7 Nightlies this has been included since Nightly 23. If you are on an older nightly, or RC1 or RC2 you can download it here.
Camera Shutter Sound Removal:
To remove the shutter sound remove or rename (through adb or Root Explorer or other file manager) shutter.ogg in /system/media/audio/ui (if it won't let you remember to mount R/W first!)
Swype:
Go to http://beta.swype.com and register for the beta. When installing a notification will pop up saying that it may interfere with stock beta; do not worry, this is for Sense users and Swype comes in stock Sense now.
Contact searching:
Again there are multiple work arounds:
The simplest is under the stock contacts tab (won't work under phone tab) simply long press Menu. This will bring the keyboard up and you can type to search.
You can also download "Dialer one" or "Dialer2" from the Market.
Visual Voicemail:
There is argument about this fix working.
Nandroid Backup your current CM7 setup. Wipe and flash a stock ROM. Use titanium backup to backup the app and data for VVM. Then Nandroid restore CM7 and restore the app and data for VVM.
The other option is simply to use Google Voice, you do NOT have to get a new number to do this. You can set this up at www.google.com/voice
SD Card speeds:
Transfer speeds are currently very slow with the newest kernel. This is being worked on and should be fixed before CM7 final. Until then you can either boot into recovery and use USB-MS to transfer files or you can download an app called Multi Mount SD-Card from the Market.
Force close ANY app via long-pressing back button:
Go to Menu > Settings > Applications > Development > check "Stop app via long-press"
ADW Launcher "Slow"?
midri said:
Those of you getting slugish results need to update their ADW settings (the defaults suck)
1) Screen Preferences - Desktop scrolling speed - set to something low-ish like 150-200, default settings are just plain moronic here. Desktop overshoot should be fine at 30 or 40.
2) Drawer Settings - Horizontal Drawer definite on (this is far superior to the scrolling drawer if you have more than a few apps, and feels much smoother).
3) Drawer Settings - Zoom effect speed - 400 is a decent setting, default was way too high.
4) Drawer Settings - Columns/Rows - 4x4 is a nice setting for portrait, if you don't like a crammed screen.
5) System Preferences - Wallpaper Hack - check this. If you have issues, change wallpapers to something of a sane size.
6) System Preferences - Use Screen Cache - check this.
7) System Preferences - Scrollable Widget support - you should start with this unchecked. Only check it if you have issues with some widgets. In my experience it didn't make a huge difference in performance or smoothness.

For now I am using this for kernels.
Savaged-Zen [2.6.37.4] [HAVS+CFS/BFS!] [with SBC]
Savaged-Zen [2.6.37.4] [HAVS+CFS/BFS!] [with noSBC]
Tiamat [2.6.37.4] [HAVS+BFS] [with or without SBC]
If you are having any problems while using these kernels please flash the stock kernel back (by reflashing the ROM) to see if the problem is the kernel or CM itself.

Great post. This should help a lot of people who have basic problems.

Hope this doesn't sound too dumb...
But how do you get holding the "back" capacitive button to force close the app you're in? I always thought that was a CM feature, but I've never been able to figure out how to enable it...

Its for the wimax disconnect bug. You can put that into terminal instead of reseting your phone to get back onto wimax.

I know it may seem arbitrary but I'm trying to keep this just fixes and small tweaks that improve usability. Other mods are more of a person preference issue. I would like to see a thread for that, though. Maybe you could start it
This might also be of interest. From the RC2 Thread in the Development Sub-Forum.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11388458&postcount=2
Also one thing that might want to note:
RC1 requires the 20110120 GApps which are designed for Android 2.3-2.3.2.
RC2 and Nightly 11+ require the 20110307 GApps which are designed for Android 2.3.3.
The 20110120 GApps can be grabbed from http://goo-inside.me/gapps/ and the 20110307 (since they're newest) can be found at http://goo-inside.me/gapps/latest/7/universal/

Yeah, I was aware of that but I figured no one would be on RC1 or pre-11 nightly anymore.
Thanks for all the help guys!
I just want to point out that the CyanogenMod kernel shipped by default uses the BFS scheduler. BFS in theory should be a better scheduler for a device like a cell phone than CFS.

Hi
Since KP2 is released with Working modem and calls are working I would appreciate if DEV's possibly could give us a few Tips to run this as smoothly as possible.
KP2 although faster has still a bit of force closes so any help in reducing this will be greatly appreciated.
I'll Try to post a few things I find around the forums to get all in one place.
I9100XXKP2 DOWNLOAD
http://www.sammobile.com/2011/12/18/...r-sgs2-custom/
1. Flashing via ODIN
Code > PDA
Modem > Phone
Is all you need to flash via Odin, rest can be remained untouched
2. Trebuchet Launcher by cyanmod
Is an ICS launcher and a good replacement for TW (will try to find the download link. I found TW force closes a lot on me so this works perfect.
3. Remove the Red Click Highlight Box
Go to Apps > Dev Tools > Development settings > strictmode visual indicator > put it in OFF MODE
Nice thread mate!
Just posted these tips elsewhere:
In order to get the best possible experience with these leaked ROMs you need to:
* Install the Bezke XXKP1/2 ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1393569) - Flashable through CWM and is pre-rooted and also has the RIL fixes for 3G data
* Change the default keyboard to the standard Android one as soon as you can one to stop the keyboard FC's.
* Install the Trebuchet launcher (http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=821149&d=1324230099) - and place it in /system/app folder. It should open when you press the home button. Set it as the default launcher.
* Stop the media scanner from running - it's a BIG battery drainer - go to Settings/Applications/Running and stop it there, and also stop the cached process
* Turn off key press sounds and lock screen sounds - having these on causes a continuous partial partial wave lock called 'AudioOut_1' - battery drainer
* Install these Calendar apks (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=19448865&postcount=2) in /system/app to get the calendar working. Once in /system/app, click on them both to install them. The Calendar will now work
* If you want to use the Contacts.apk and Phone.apk from the 'vanilla' ICS ROM (instead of the installed TW ones) download those APK's (http://www.multiupload.com/6T0019180O) and put them in /system/app. Don't install the MMS.apk though it will break things!
* Turn off the red border from appearing on some screens by going to the Dev Tools App > Development settings > strictmode visual indicator > put it in OFF MODE - then reboot for this to take effect
Battery life then falls to normal levels. Be aware though that when you connect your phone to your computer to transfer files etc, that a media scan will be run again when you disconnect. You'll have to force stop the media scan again otherwise it will keep running.
This should be a sticky! Is there a way to get the stock ics notification bar?, samsung's bar is horrendous

Nice One @Interfreak some awesome tips there...
I guess I'll leave it in your post as you are second anyway.. will see if we get another leak before christmas which might be better than the KP2
Hi, thanks for this thread, let's hope it build up.
I am using the Sam mobile KP2 leak, flashed using mobile Odin (code and modem) and have removed tw and the hubs. I use Nova launcher and replaced gallery with quikpic .
I am using default hardware acceleration.
I use TouchPal keyboard.
So far, I have not had any issues with media scanner at all.
I get closes occasionally, but they usually start find the second attempt.
I have started playing with the 3g settings in build.prop but have not found any good tweaks yet in there.
Has anyone been able to investigate the governor yet? I can't help feel that it is using a Dev setting that is causing the closes.. .

hey fellas
everything seems to work pretty good now... only thing i noticed so far is i cannot import contacts from my sim card... whats up with that? where are my contacts
thanks in advance
A tip that I just thought of (and enabled):
Download the SlideIT keyboard from the Android market and then get the SlideIT ICS skin in viola - you have a very close approximation of Swype working with your ICS build.
New edition of my mod for Contact.apk and Dial.apk and Mms.apk with standard ics graphics

Not worth it until ICS is faster/better than 2.3.6, which it currently is not. It's fun to play with though to see what samsung has in store for us for next year!
The room looks nice, here are some problems that I'm experiencing :
- lots of force closes on settings page
- Some random fc with android process acore
- Facebook app doesn't show Any fonts. Really weird this one
- some random crashes with phone and contacts apps (aosp)
One thing that surprised me : battery life is good overall!
Can't wait for devs to tinker with the rom.
Being a noob I am not allowed to post on the development forums...........
last night I upped my Galaxy Tab (Thai ROM) to Gengerbread 2.3.6 and Acudroid V3 ICS Themed.
1st I would like to comment about the instructions and the process:
My Tab is an important work tool for me - and I was a bit worried about bricking it and taking days to recover... BUT - I followed the instructions of Acubens - and where pointed to teamovercome.net kept following their instructions to the letter, and happily after a couple of hours my Tab was running 2.3.3 with teamover's ROM and later 2.3.6 with the Acudroid V3 ROM.
Restoring apps + data was fast and easy using Titanium and very soon I had my phone up and running just like I want it
As far as I can tell so far - seems everything is working fine - phone calls, sms, camera, email, GPS, wifi, GPRS, sounds and notofocations. As I didn't see and speed improvement I downloaded and installed no-frills CPU and overclocked the CPU to 1.2GHz - and now the Tab is FLYING.......
Now that I've done the up and ROM change - I hope to see more new ROMs for the TAB

So far 2 small issues I came accross -
1. Some notification sounds are not right - i had chrome2phone app and instead of just a short bip like it used to be - it was a non stop bipping for about 15 minutes. I removed the app and try to re-install only I can install it now for some reson. I installed for now the "browser 2 droid" instead, but the notification sound is the same 15 minutes non stop bipping...
Don't get sound notifications for "what's up", and on Gtasks. Probably some other apps that I didn't notice so far.
2. On some of the menus the text under the icons is white over white so can't see it before actually pressing it...
as for battery life - seems a shorter than the stock ROM I used before, but that might be becuase I play with the phone a bit more now...

Hi,
To reduce the issues i only make wipe versions from now on, and nowipe will not be available. I know it is some work but see it this way i have a lot of work to make the rom available, so all i ask from you if you like to use the rom to make an backup and flash a wipe version and it is worth the trouble i think.

Hi, i will look into the sound problem you have, maybe those apps uses the default sound scheme of gingerbread and i have change that, so can you tell which sound they use of the system? And can you not change the settings in that app to use other sounds?
Menu is fixed as you noticed already,
If i have an update for your sound issue i will let you know..

Hi,
Sorry but no, i included a app called quickboot, this app shutdown or reboot your tab much faster, and you do not have to use a mechanical button that can be outworn if you use it much.

I looked for a solution and seems there is none... many users complain about the notification sound, some also mention it lasts forever (like mine...), but no 1 mention what version of Android they are using http://code.google.com/p/chrometophone/issues/detail?id=239 . It worked fine on froyo - short sound and thats it. so probably some changes between froyo and GB cuases the problem. Only way to stop the sound is by forceclosing the app

WIFI
It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again.

It seems I have a problem with the WIFI scanning. It only scans when I reconnect the WIFI. If I go out of the WIFI area the tab goes on EDGE as should be, but when coming into a WIFI area it wont show it nor connect to it unless I stop WIFI service and start again.

Hi,
Wifi scanning is set for 180 seconds to save battery, if you like to change that you can install rootexplorer and change settings in build.prop or delete the complete line and save it.
Cheers
Change the build.prop file

Changed it to 45 - hope it fixed the probel (will see next time I leave the office).
For the benefit of other noob's (it took me a while to find out how to do it...) here's how I managed the change step by step:
1. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Write / Run
2. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwrwrw
3. Used Astro to open the file (long press, select open as / text << select astro's text editor), located the line I wanted to change [wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180], changed the value, saved
4. Used Root Explorer to go to /system/build.prop << Long press on the file name and change permissions to rwr-r-
5. Used Rom Toolbox / scripter / Mount System Read Only / Run
6. Reboot system
Careful not to change something you are not sure about as you might brick the phone....
use ES File Explorer.
Just make sure you go to its setting, Root Option and enable its Root Explorer and Mount File System.
Then you can browse to "Favourite" and select the "/"
and go to systems and edit the build.prop using its own internal ES Edit note, and it even make a backup of the original file for you.
A lot less step than what you needed to do there.
Hello,
I am writing this to help other newbies who may want to switch to Cyanogen for the first time on their Epic 4G. There were a few things I needed to do after to get everything working the way I liked and I figure this will save some people time.
What do I need to do prior?
There are many how-to's which will help but I had my Epic stock rom rooted so it was as simple as flashing cyanogen through recovery. Here is the link for a "how-to" root the stock rom if you wish to do it this way. It was the easiest way for me though the official guide says "Rooting the stock firmware is neither recommended nor necessary."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9eaCtiS0Bo
Where do I get Cyanogen?:
You can download it here. I am running the 10.0.0 stable build.
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Epicmtd_Info
I have no google apps:
This is a problem with any Cyanogen installation. Easy fix, download & install the gaaps package from the link below and your marketplace will be back.
http://goo.im/gapps
I don’t have Navigation:
Easy fix again, download the google maps app. Here is the app store link.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DMsImNvbS5nb29nbGUuYW5kcm9pZC5hcHBzLm1hcHMiXQ..
I don’t have voicemail:
While you can use any voicemail app I wanted the one I had on the stock rom. I linked the app below and your voicemail will be back as soon as you install it. You need to open the app after so that it will activate.
https://od.lk/d/MjRfMjc2MDY5MF8/vtt-sprint.apk
I am getting texts from 9016 every time I get a voicemail:
From reading it seems the stock rom blocks us from seeing these but they are in fact needed for voicemail to work. To fix this I used a free app called “RedList”. Simply add 9016 to the RedList within the app, change the settings to disable both notifications, and this will problem will be solved. Here is the app store link.

Text messages no longer have separate colors for me and my recipient:
The stock android text display is white and I hated this after getting used to Samsung’s nice colors but luckily you can solve this in two ways.
(One) A theme manager is built into the interface section of your settings page. After searching through almost every free CM10 theme I found this one I liked. It does NOT touch too many things only adding a brushed metal look and displaying text messages how I wanted them. There are a few colors to choose from but I went with Blue.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1992980
(Two) Replace only the MMS app with one that is color coded. Please note that unlike the above, to reverse this down the road you will need to find a stock mms app package with an installer. This is good for people who are sure they want this and only wish to change the colors of the messenger, while the above is good for people who like to switch themes often being able to revert back at any second. Link for the colored mms app.

Morror: https://od.lk/f/MjRfMjc2MDY5MV8
Facebook pictures no longer sync with my existing contacts:
This is a small problem, but still one that I got used to having with the stock rom and wanted to correct. From reading this seems to be a problem related to later Android versions, not just Cyanogen. The fix for this is easy as well, search out a free app called “UberSync for Facebook”. I had the regular facebook app installed & logged in prior and UberSync logged right in, got the pictures, and updated my contacts.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0.
I no longer have Swype:
Despite having the nice physical keyboard (the whole reason I got the Epic) I still got used to using Swype here or there. I don't think I will be allowed to link this file here but you can find it on "certain" sites.
Notes:
Despite reports that Bluetooth can be problematic, I use it daily with an earpiece and have yet to experience any issues. GPS & 4G also work great. If any links are broken send me a PM! I check my email daily.

Why are they so bad? The bring you right to the download and I won't be deleting these files from my dropbox. Much better IMO than dealing with one of those sites where you have to wait 45 seconds for a download link to appear in a sea of other spam download buttons.

Well...
No MD5/SHA1 to compare against to make sure you have a complete download.
People's dropbox tends to get too much traffic and the link becomes dead.
You basically cut out the original author(s) of the file.
Based off # 3: They could need the ad revenue, and/or want to track download activity if they're self-hosting.

I know this isn't directed at me, but the things I have on my box account are older things( Samsung Moment update tool), things I've done for myself, or things that I've found for other people. In other words, things many people don't care about.

#1 - I think more people are concerned with a working link, if they download the archive after and it somehow gets corrupted i'm sure they will just try again
#2 - Valid point though my files don't have a great enough of demand to warrant this. If this changes I will change my links.
#3 The only thing that wasn't mine with a dropbox link was the MMS app and I only mirrored it in case the original link were ever taken down. If it will make you happy I can include the original link as well. For the voice mail app, its simply the sprint one ripped from a stock rom.
Though your points are valid, I think you are sort of just being picky bud
Thanks for the VM download link. Only thing I want is task manager which I had installed on CM9. Is there stockish one that works for 10?
Try the flashable one from here

swype
I reinstalled swype 3 or 4 times with various upgrades and it would always "expire" and I'd have to figure out how to get it working again. I am running 10.1 RC5 now and it has a decent generic swype-ish virtual keyboard. The thing missing is that you can't finish your text and go back and fix any misspelled words by touching alternate suggestions. You have to catch them as they come up. It seems like at first I could still do that, but I can't figure out how to get the suggestions to come back up.
I'm over swype.

You need a different Kernel. I have been using didy's kernel for a while. You flash CM10.1 and then you flash the kernel. CM10.1 has its own kernel that overwrites what you flash. So when you update, i think you have to reflash the kernel. I haven't screwed around with it since I installed rc5. I think I did CM, then the kernel, then the big mem patch. I never was able to figure out how to update the radio. I always ended up with "no voice service" or worse.
There is a thread in the developer forum that has the links to the kernel downloads. I am running one from may 30 and haven't updated.

When you say you couldn't update the radio, you just mean the cell service radio, right? Not wifi? I don't have cell service on my Epic, so that wouldn't be a problem for me... just as long as the wifi radio still works
Also, what specifically do you mean by "or worse"?

Yeah. That's the one. I looked at my about phone and it said "didy".
I saw a thread about the nexus radio being hot **** and I fooled around with it. I got either "no voice service" or no nuthin.

Thanks man, I'll give it a shot. CM10.1 is running pretty smoothly on my phone, but it could be better and battery life is not an issue for me.
I'll be sure to run backups before I do though :good:
Thanks
These tips helped - I just made the jump to CM 10.1, and although there are a few quirks it has been great. Your list really helped.
FYI, one thing I ran into was the auto-rotate didn't work. I followed the directions here:
http://epiccm.blogspot.com/2012/01/boot-el30-stock-from-sdcard.html
the first time, there was no change. I tried again (and calibrated like 6 times) and it worked.
Has anyone noticed the physical keyboard doesn't always work the same? In some places, you have to hold down shift or Fn while pressing the key you want (for example - hold shift while pressing A, rather then pressing shift then pressing A). It's not consistent - some inputs work like the keyboard did before. Does anyone have any suggestions how to fix this. Not the worst thing (I'm just glad I still have a physical keyboard), but I would prefer it work the way it did before, or if that's not possible, at least be consistent.
And the smiley face button on the physical keyboard doesn't work either. I mean, it's like 2005 where I have to type out my 's!!

I have noticed that the physical keyboard doesn't work right in the browser. Shift and Fn don't seem to work. I am usually in such a hurry that I just close it up and use the virtual keyboard if I want to have punctuation. It honestly didn't occur to me that it might be fixed. I can't offer that fix. I am just offering emotional support and validation.:good:

I noticed that the default browser you have to hold the shift or fn key while pressing the desired key to get it to work. Apps and os seem to work with a tap od these keys and then a hit of the desired key.I recall a while back a thread about the smiley and since it was not a default key the consensus was that they would not be adding the functionality to cm. While on the topic...same goes with the .com function.

I'm sorry i want to ask, how we modify system setting look in CM? Thank you..
Background
This is a very light and tweaked version of CM10.1 along with a lightened and tweaked version of GApps. If you are familiar with my previous Light n Tasty (LnT) releases, you know what to expect, although as of late I am going even further. For example, I am not including the CM Browser or Calendar apps in the ROM as IMO there are much better 3rd party ones available in Google Play, generally for free. (I do encourage you to support the developer via a paid app if that is available.) LnT is ringing in at very svelte ~240MB, leaving ~73MB free in an unexpanded ROM partition via AcmeInstaller3, after flashing LnT_CM10.1 and LnT_GApps. With that kind of room, you could even consider applying AppstoROM if it were beneficial to your TP. The standard GApps should be able to be used with the ROM, if so desired. Updates to the ROM and GApps will be made as significant changes occur, or if I get bored and want to flash something new :silly: .
Flashing
Personally, coming from LnTTP_CM10, I just dirty flashed over it with no problems, using the latest (?) TWRP. If you are coming from another ROM, it is highly recommended that you do a full set of wipes before flashing the ROM. It is also recommended that GApps be concurrently flashed with the ROM.
Issues
The issues with LnT are the same as with other CM10.1 releases, which center around a non-working bluetooth. Presumably the camera has been enabled, but as I have never really used that capability in CM or WebOS, I have not verified that. In fact, no camera app is included in the ROM, so if one is interested in that feature, a working one would have to be found in Google Play or one 'extracted and installed' from a standard CM10.1 ROM. Finally, if one is having problems with sound cutting off when the display turns off, try switching bluetooth on. It will not stay on, but it does seem to fix the sound problem when the display turns off.
Acknowledgements
I'll use the 'trickle down' approach here, and personally thank milaq, whose git repository this build is based on. It then follows that I am indebted to the work of those he mentions who have specifically contributed in the development of CM for the TouchPad, and to the many others who make generic contributions to CM, and of course to Google and AOSP for providing open source, which without none of this could be accomplished.

System Add-Ons
Find your system add-ons to LnTTP here. They, of course, need to be placed in the system/apps directory, followed by setting the permissions appropriately, and then rebooting your TP. Since I don't use these I really can't verify if they work. Finally, if you are aware of a newer version, notify me and I will update here asap.
Been using this for a week, rock solid and very clean. I dirty flashed over his previous ROM using TWRP, along with the slimmed down Gapps. I am using Next browser and a calendar, both work well. I haven't been successful using Camera JB+, it tries to open, but when you try to take a picture it closes.
Great work as usual OaT!

There are 2 locations to set options. In Settings>>Security towards the very bottom you will see a toggle that sets the privacy option on in every new app installed. In Settings>>Apps, after you select an app, you will see a checkbox in the app information that turns the privacy option on for that app. With the option turned on, for example, apps will be told gps is off, whether in fact it is or not, thus protecting your location. Also, for example, apps seeking a list of contacts will be provided a false list. There are also a few other actions also done to protect your privacy from 'nosy' apps.

First you have to activate developper option, to do this go into setting/about tablet and tap several time on the build number at the bottom of the page until it say "you are now adevelopper" then go back into setting into the developper option and check "advanced reboot". This will add the optionto reboot into recovery in the power menu.

Those force close are caused by the neon command in the apps you are using that are not supported by our old tegra 2. Have you flashed the gapps from cm 10.1 thread or the normal gapps we can find anywhere? The gapps in the thread include fix for some of the gapps but for chrome I don't think it can be fixed. A clean flash would probably help for the speed too, but don't forget that this is about as fast as our device can get with the aging composant it include.

Thanks for the above information. I lost the recovery option on the power menu and couldn't figure out how to get it back. I needed it to load new roms as they become available.

I have the latest nightly and I'm having a lot of force closures as well. Mostly with YouTube, the stock browser and chrome. I flashed the gapps recommended. Any suggestions?
I downloaded the new WiFi version from last night. Everything seems to o be working great. Thanks Keschemme!!!!
Recent apps button not working
Hi,
Has anybody noticed that the recent apps button was working sparsely with cm10.1 experimental and now not working anymore with the nightly of 20130711?
I'm also searching where to set the wifi always on to avoid SOD.
Thanks
EDIT: Recent apps button doesn't work short to medium time after booting, but starts to work after a certain time. This also occurs with 20130718 build.

I have had no problems so far. I have the 7-19 release. I did the fix for the home button by changing the values in those three files with root browser.
1: Download RootBrowser from the playstore.
2: Open it and say yes to download utilities.
3: Go to system/usr/keylayout
4: Click on gpio-keys.kl then click on open as and then click on rbtexteditor
5: Change 172 for 102 and save.
6: Open avago-pt.kl the same way, go to line 102 and change MOVE_HOME for HOME
7: Do step 6 with Generic.kl
8: Reboot.
9: Enjoy!
To change the Wi-Fi to always on go to settings then tap the 3 squares at the top right of the screen,
then hit advanced. Change Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep to Always.

Few questions for you:
1. Did you make an upgrade or a clean install? I used the upgrade from 10. Could it make a difference.
2. Do you usually start your K1 from a fresh boot, or just waking it up? I'm usually turn it of at the end of the day. Would you mind trying a fresh boot, the open a app or two and see if the recent app works from an early boot.
I have the feeling that the recent app is driven by a service that takes a long time to start.
In the mean time, I rolled back to cm10. I found these few annoyances fading the few advantages of moving forward. One of these is that it seemed that my K1 was lagging a bit more when openning apps. Maybe the K1 is a little weak to get this uplift intended to newer devices.

Recent apps button doesn't work on first boot. Usually, i boot my k1, unlock it then lock it again. When you open it after it work. It simply don't work the first time you open the screen after booting but once you locked it, it will work.

Ok. Didn't catch this subtle thing myself.
Quite honestly, being a software developer I do recognize all the efforts made by kaschemme, but cm10 still appears to me like the best mix of usability, battery life all with minimal annoyances. I think cm10 brought us a way farther than what we got from Lenovo out of the box. I still watch for any update of cm10.1 but will stick to cm10 in the meantime.
Thanks for replying
headphones
I have the August 10 nightly installed and I just noticed that when I try to use my headphones they are not being detected. Is anyone else having this problem? Is there something in the settings that got changed or turned off? I have the same problem with the recent app button too.
A new attempt fOr cm10.1
The first time I tried cm10.1, I performed the update without wiping data and got a really slow K1 at the end with an unstable trebuchet. This time I managed to do a clean install with much better results. My K1 is now fast enough and trebuchet doesn't crash anymore. Not sure that updating without wiping is always a good thing then....
One thing though, the recent apps still doesn't work on first boot and need a sleep/wake up to work. Does this bug has been relayed to kaschemme? I use the recent apps a lot to navigate between apps and find the workaround quite annoying. I'm always surprised that so much users care about the mechanical home button not working while there is one always working on screen. I never use the mechanical home button. It reminds me Apple yurks iPhone.
I would post my request to fix recent apps to the dev forum but I don't have the permission yet. I would appreciate someone do it for me. I'm affraid kaschemme is now working on cm10.2 leaving this caveat open while it may be easily fixable. Other than that, I'm happy with cm10.1.
Bluetooth hid device
Hi Everyone,
I am running CM10.1 the August 10th nightly and it has worked great for me so far. :good:
However I have run in to a small snag with Bluetooth. I bought game pad to use with my NES Roms and can't seem to get it to stay connected. The pad has both a keyboard mode and game pad mode looks like it pairs correctly in the keyboard mode and it is listed under paired devices, but the connection is dropped. I pulled the cat log and see that what looks like errors due to files missing. Has anyone else had any problems with this ROM connecting to Bluetooth devices? I know there are issues with the bluetooth audio, but haven't seen any other Bluetooth issues in the forums. Attached is part of the log.
