Since it seems impossible to read anything on cyanogens experimental thread without page after page of complaints that apps are not working. This has nothing to do with his ROM (for the most part), and should not be clogging up that thread. My suggestion is if there is an app issue, post it here for others to discuss, or just stay off of experimental builds.
I will begin with Bluex not working. The new framework will not allow root access to bluex. I have contacted the dev, but no response. The devs blog has not been touched in a few months, and I worry it has been abandoned.
Well I will keep this list up to date.
Power Manager: some icons to desable certain functions don't work (GPS)
T-Mobile My Account: Quick Tools tab causes FC
dg alert classic
I've had a problem with dg alert classic, I've uninstalled and reinstalled all to no avail, and this is the best app for managing ringtones and alerts
these havent worked for me:
Bluex - Bluetooth Fileshare: can send but not recieve (with root) as error appears when enabling server.
Toggle Settings: app force closes
Taskiller: widget doesnt update as it should (rest of the app works fine)
will update if i find more
Weather Channel and Weatherbug Elite: A 8x8 portion of the map wont update.
Youtube downloader: When trying to open a video it reboots the phone entirely. Fixed Permisions and running fine now. Im dumb =P
Amazon Mobile: Cannot Press the I accept button. ( I got around this by just copying the datastore.xml file from my wife's G1.)
Gameboid: Im not 100% sure this is a donut issue but nothing will play for me.
wysinc plus doesnt work for me
power manager 1.6 force closes before starting
MixZing - Cant access settings.
Alarming! - I made a post about in in a separate thread, but the alarm volume just is horrible!! Wouldn't wake up a baby even with V7 audio mod.

If you wiped data and then upgraded to donut you need to reinstall the apk/program. I had that problem with force closes as soon as I clicked on the program before. A simple reinstall will do the trick and no its not a CM or Donut issue, thats just the way that is lol.
ToggleSettings and Useful switcher dont work. Most likely because the donut framework is all different

Verified Weather app with the 8x8 block in the lower left not updating. (Weather Channel app in my test).
Havent tried Youtube app yet. I remember cyan fixing something with this a couple revisions back. Are you running the latest (4.1.10.1 or 4.1.11.1?)
Can also verify on the Weather Channel 8x8 block not updating. This problem came up a while ago..On one of Cyan's recent experimental ROM's. probably 4.1.4. I am using his most recent, 4.1.11.1, and the problem still exists. Tried reinstalling, doesn't work. the 8x8 block seems to appear on apps other than google maps, that use the map function. Places Directory is another app that has that 8x8 block.

I need to edit the post on that one, Youtube downloader only crashes my phone when opening a video from inside that app. I can use SUFBS and open the videos just fine once they are downloaded. Im running 11.1.....UPDATE lol as I was typing this I though hey I should fix permissions and see if that helps. It works fine now =P
Yaboiaj THanks for the tip on Gameboid!

Donut issues
I have found that somthing has changed with the way SQL works.
What i have noticed if u have an app that was previously installed that needed to create a table it works fine on donut but if you happened to wipe or delete your tables when going to donut alot of apps fail trying to create a new table. I am not saying this is the case for all apps.. but 3 of my own i had to recode to use tables a little differently and a few other apps im seeing identicle error logs as my apps were giving
Moxier Mail doesn't seem to work with Donut. You can setup your account sync, but after the setup is complete and it tries to switch to the main mail list screen, FC.
I got the Bionic last Thursday and just realized that the ability to set the alarm by voice is not installed. It was on my OG running GPA17 . Where can I find the apk to add this functionality to my Bionic? Thanks.
I love that feature as well.
I installed Alarm Clock Plus from the market and it seems to have done the trick.

So to say my wife is upset that Verizon/Motorola deleted apps that she uses with the update is an understatement.
The most maddening is the alarm issue. Jelly Bean deleted the Alarm app that was on her phone, and I remedied that by getting her one off of Google Play. The only issue is that the alarms set on the original Alarm app are still in place, and cannot be deleted from what we can see.
This is a problem because she has the alarm set for 5am M-F, but we don't want this thing going off this weekend at that time.
My first thought was maybe to find an .apk of the old alarm program, but I haven't been able to do so. Has anyone else had this issue? How did you fix it?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Use the stock jb clock.. tap clock ...set alarm.. repeat mon-fri....

It is unlikely that the update deleted user installed apps unless you did a factory reset after the update.
The update is written to the system partition, your data, including the alarms and all apps you installed would be in the data partition.
It is also unlikely that a non-existing app executes alarms.... With what if the app is uninstalled?
It is however possible that the update messed up something ...
My guess is, the alarm app is still there, you just don't see it.
Go to "Manage Apps"
There are three "views": Downloaded, Running, All
Carefully go through the "All" list and see if you can find it.

Actually, this isn't completely true. Although I agree that third party apps should not be touched, I can attest, that several built in Android apps are replaced. So far, I have found that the Gallery, Camera, Clock, and Alarm apps were replaced with new versions. For me, (I am using App Organizer) this meant that these shortcuts no longer worked.
Often the solution is to delete the unworking shorcut/widget/placeholder/whatever and re-add it, to get the new version.
Oh, I also had this problem with Car Dock Home V3 (icons that no longer worked).
-Glenn.
The alarms are under the clock app.

Ok I'm new here, signed up just to get help with this, so here's my problem.
Just got a new phone, a Nexus 6 (not the 6p). Upgraded to Android 6.0. Previously had a Note 3 running kitkat. On my Note 3 if I got new posts to a thread I'm subscribed to on a forum I'm a member of, new messages on Instagram or new messages on kik my phone notified me that I had the message. The app didn't have to be running for this to work. With my Nexus 6 however that isn't the case!
Text messages, voicemails and emails all work fine and notify my just the way they should, it's only the 3rd party apps that don't work. I know it's not the apps because like I mentioned it's ALL the installed 3rd party apps doing this! It has to have something to do with the Nexus 6 or the Android 6.0 or a combination of the 2.
I scoured the web looking for answers, including this forum, and came up empty so here's the information that people usually ask for:
1) My phone isn't on silent or do not disturb mode
2) My volume is turned up
3) Sound and notification settings-App notifications are normal and allow peaking for the apps in question. Treat as priority if not on because I don't want the notifications when I'm sleeping but this shouldn't keep them from coming in normally when the volume isn't turned off.
4) Settings-Apps for each app the notifications ARE NOT blocked and allow peaking is on.
5) I enabled ALL requested permissions for each app just to make sure a blocked permission wasn't the problem.
6) I white listed each app from battery optimization to ensure this wasn't causing the problem.
7) Battery saver is not turned on.
8) Push notifications are turned on and allowed for each app in the settings on the app and the notifications sound in the app settings is my default notification, which is set because it's the same one I get when the app is running.
Someone please help! This is driving me crazy. Like I mentioned I get the notifications if I have the app running in the background but if the app is off I don't. On my last phone I didn't have to leave the app running 24/7, draining my battery, to get the notifications! Is there some way to fix this????
Also, I already wiped the system data partition.

Are you using a custom ROM or did you take an OTA to get to Android 6.0? I also wanted to ask if you were getting the proper notifications from using lollipop 5.1.1 while you were on it? If you took the OTA I'd suggest wiping app cache/data for kik and that MIGHT restore the kik functionality. If it works for that one app it may work for others.
You haven't installed a third-party notification system at all have you? Like Teslaunread or anything else that requests notification access on your device?

I know you said battery saver is not turned on now, but did you ever have it on? I ask because ever since I turned it on for a few hours (then turned it off and kept it off), 3rd-party notifications have been wonky.
No custom ROM, I took OTA to get to 6.0 but I didn't install any of the APP's prior to getting to 6.0 so I don't know if they would have worked with 5.1.1 or not unfortunately.
I do have Nova Launcher and use Teslaunread with that but I had that on my previous phone and it didn't interfere with any of my notifications coming through.
And yes the battery saver was on a couple times when the battery got low.
Ahhh see you are making a misconception. The app has to be running to get notifications. At least the service does. When you killed them with your old device it only removed them from your view. It didn't really close them out. Unlike stock Android. If you kill the app then it is really killed. Killing the app will also stop the service which prevents your notifications from coming in.
Your best bet is to leave it be.

Actually leaving it running in the back ground still won't give me the notification, I only get the notification when I click on the app and open it, even if it is listed as running in the background. I found that out because I did start leaving the apps running so I'd get the notifications, only to find out that didn't fix my problem like I thought it would.

Do you have greenify or any apps that effect doze installed?
Could have been an issue with the OTA, you could flash the Stock 6.0 image via Fastboot, it may be worth trying PNF on android play, i use the root version so not sure on the non root but it's stops delayed notifications.

I used greenify w/root on my last phone but not this one. I don't think any of my apps would affect doze and turned doze off for the apps I've had trouble with to try and make sure doze wasn't the issue. Still not luck.

I may try those option and see if they help. This is driving me crazy, I figured a newer operating system would mean a better android experience but so far I was a lot happier with kitkat than I have been with marshmallow.
Weather doesnt work anymore. I noticed it updated quite a long time back, tried to force update(pulled down) and it didnt update. Also, trying to press a day or something to go to detailed weather got an expiret SSL certificate error. Deleted app data and now it can't even find city(any city) to show weather...App is completely useless. I installed Accuweather...
Also, Friday morning the alarm didn't go off, so I almost didn't make it to work in time. The main alarm dissapeared and only a useless 19:00 alarm was present.
L.E. it started working again today. The site must have updated, it looks more like the app
