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

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 tried widget locker and liked the way it looked, but you have to manually start the app every time you turn the phone on. I don't really care about all of the slide mods, but I would like to change the clock, font, etc. Is there a setting in Cyanogen that I'm missing? Any other app suggestions?
Has anyone ever tried this method for changing the clock font?
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/e1q7j/i_got_rid_of_that_stupid_lockscreen_clock_font/
Basically requires using Terminal to paste a new font over the existing font. I've never used Terminal and I don't have any experience in Linux. The program that someone mentions there (Type Fresh) has lots of bad comments on Appbrain about causing crashes and bootloops, so I think I'll stay away from that one.
are you looking to modify your system lockscreen or trying to find a replacement app (widgetlocker)?
for your widget locker problem, select start at boot and disable the 5 sec. rule.

If you don't want to use terminal, I'm pretty sure you can use ninjamorph which might be a little easier. As for widgetlocker, I'd say just do what kevina said. I've been using for the past week or so and it's been smooth and quick for me.
You could use tasker to autostart widget locker.

Ninjamorph doesn't work for this, nor did root explorer. I tried type fresh multiple times and it didn't work. After trying everything except using the terminal, I just changed the fonts in the rom's zip and reflashed it.
Thanks for the tips guys.. I reinstalled Widget Locker and I'm playing around with it again. I don't like how it takes over the Home button, but other than that it seems to be working pretty well.
Newest cm6.1 rc2 nightly has gestures and added support for phone and sms sliders on the lock screen. I can quickly access facebook, camera, sms, and phone without first unlocking the phone - I love it!
Which nightly are you on and does it seem pretty stable? I do have that same functionality you are talking about with Widget Locker... but if I can have it through the OS, I'll just use that.
I just got Widget Locker the other day. I love it!

Also make sure widgetlocker is installed on your phone and not the sd.

thank you so much!
I´m looking for an app which easily let me swtich between Data-Connection on/off.
I´ve tested APN on/off widget and one which is called Toggle Data.
Both start and stop the data-connection correctly, but a few seconds after stopping the connection starts again, think thisis a HD2 specific problem, because these apps work with other phones.....
Has anyone found an app which works with the HD2 LEO?
there is a widget pre-installed that's called power control, i use it to turn on/off wifi, data, gps, and display light. I don't know if every build has it.
The build that i use has no widget called power control.....
There's plenty of widgets for this on the Market. Just do a search on there for things like "power control" or "control widget" etc..
I use SwitchPro. It's a paid app, but only cheap. It's VERY configurable and I highly recommend it.
I have tested Switch Pro.
When I try to enable/disable data connection, nothing happens.....

Are you using Gingerbread? I only ask because Gingerbread doesn't play nicely with some apps, and I found a lot of the toggles didn't work with Switch Pro on Gingerbread. I'm back to Froyo now and they all work perfectly.
Yes I´m using gingerbread.
Ok i guess this is the problem.......
Hi,
I use data enabler, its free to download from the market. It does not allow to turn off/on data connection, but it takes you to mobile network menu and with widget placed on home screen you get fast accsses to it. Works on Gingerbread without problem.
I recommend Quick Settings free from the market,does the job nicely.
Check on Market 'CurveFish'
Go to market and type in 'curvefish' They have a bunch or widget toggle switches for free. The one you will be interested in is their 'APN OnOff' app.
*Edit* Tried it, your right, turns off and then back on again. Sorry.
try Dataswitch its a free app

Agree -...it´s free and works perfect for me! (Rafdroid 2.3)
Try widgetzoid, it can do that and much more, one of my must have apps!
Apndroid works best for me, especially combined with 3g watchdog, makes sure i can't go over my limit

Same issue with Meridian Pro player, the widget would make it crash.
Deleting the widget, clearing application data, then re-adding the widget fix it.
Note that clearing the application data makes it forget your unlock code for the pro version. Make sure you have a copy of your code before clearing the data.

Can't access to Google Voice app (no more icon). The application appears as installed in the market. Can't open / uninstall from the list of applications (appears in grey in all apps list).
Anyone have the Trillian 1.0.145? (final beta before it went to market)
Seems to be the only app not working for me, never completes log in.
Not really an issue, but I.was so much hoping for copy/paste to work in gtalk but I still can't copy in gtalk.

Do you really need to keep evangelizing CM? This is XDA, we know about CM7. If we wanted to be running it we would be already.
When you go to the USB storage connection screen the button seems to say "Turn off USB storage" no matter whether it's already on or not.

Yeah, me too.
Just close the Market and then re-open and you're back at the new one. You may need to kill Market in app management, or just wait a couple of minutes to go back in.

Doomed Froyo Slim V2.1
(Scaled down from 308mb to 201mb)
Already OC to 1.18GHz no need to do anything but flash
THANKS TO TEKHAUNA FOR THE OC MODULES HE BROUGHT US OVERCLOCKING http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1355474
Updating SuperUser is OK now, go ahead and update
Removed almost all widgets
Same Framework as Doomed Froyo so ALL themes/flashable zips made for Doomed Froyo will work with Slim version.
Same Tweaks from Doomed Froyo
OC Kernel 1188MHz/1.18GHz Doom Kernel made by me
*************************************************************
Widgets kept:
Power control widget
Weather
Application Specific Widgets
Analog Clock (Black with green hands from DeskClock)
Calendar
Market
Music
Youtube
*************************************************************
Removed apps:
Google maps
Google talk
Google street view
Voice search
Finance
Richnote
Live wallpapers
News
Soundrecorder
Swype
Facebook
Plenty More (horrible note taker will update with all removed apps)
Replaced Apps:
LGHome with Launcher from source code
Calculator with Calculator from source code
Alarm/Clock with DeskClock from source code
*************************************************************
Added Apps:
DeskClock from source code (shows up as "clock" in app drawer. a sort of lockscreen, put icon on the homescreen, press it, DeskClock comes up and you can turn off screen with power button and when come back DeskClock is your lockscreen. It is actualy supposed to be a "DESK CLOCK" for when you are at a... uh desk and want easy access to music and a clock. Gallery Slideshow option does not work with newest gallery, it does work with one from source but, you can not view 3D pictures with source Gallery. Trying to fix)
Spare Parts (allows you to control speed of windows/font resizing does not stick. Better battery statistics/history)
Email original from source code
*************************************************************
3D Button does NOTHING now just makes a nice little vibrate. It can still be used to switch between 2D/3D in games/videos/pictures.
Increase speed of phone by going into spare parts and set Window transitions/Transition animations to FAST
Launcher includes a bunch of wallpapers including a few from Nexus
I suggest using Titanium Backup to make a full backup of all system apps/data BEFORE you install this rom. If there is something missing you want back or want to replace one of the switched out apks, you can use Titanium to do it
*************************************************************
On fresh install settings will FC on first boot. Just ignore it, it happens because of some of the things I took out. Will be trying to fix this. Settings will work just fine and FC only happens on first boot.
Install:
1) Download the zip from link below.
2)Put the zip on your external SD card.
3) Boot into CWM with Vol Down+3D Camera+Power.
4) BACK UP YOUR CURRENT ROM!!!!!!
5) Perform Factory Wipe
6) Install zip from SD
7) Reboot and enjoy!

V1.0.1 - Fixed a problem with the search capactive button and search function on Launcher Menu not working.
How is the GPS on this rom?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
For me it works great, can't complain... location based finds me within 20-30 meters and GPS locks on pretty quick to be on safe side I would say within a minute. You will have to install maps from a backup or from market it has been removed.
Is thereany known issues with this rom or does everything work?
Sent from my LG-P925 using XDA App
None that I can think of right now. It is stable and definitely ready for everyday use. You shouldn't have any problems. If you do post them here.
Sweet! Will be downloading and flashing as soon as I can get to work tomorrow and download it! Keep up the good work!

I would like to think it is faster than Thriller... It probably is because it is quite slimmed down there has been a lot taken off of it. The rom is actually based off of Thriller 1.0.3, I haven't had any restarts or problems and I haven't had anyone reporting any problems so I do believe it is pretty stable.
The best thing to do is to download it, go into CWM make a nandroid backup with the "backup and restore" option, then flash this rom and see how you like it. If you don't like, or you have problems just go back into CWM and restore your old setup. It will bring back all your data, sms, contacts, apps everything all of it.
I fixed a problem with the search capactive button and the search on home screen menu not working correctly.
You can either download and flash new rom, no need to do a data wipe.
You can also restore "Google Search" in your backup app (Titanium Backup) it must be a system app for the button to work. I thought it would work as long as it was installed but this isn't the case, it has to be installed with the system or into system/apps
Great work is there a way you can upload a zip w/ the stuff that's removed so we can pick and choose which apks and widgets to install if its not too much trouble.
Edit: mainly the application manager app i miss it already :'(

BATTERY UPDATE: Been running this for a bit and I was absolutely shocked when I woke up.
The shot in OP with the widgets and icons is my homescreen. Turned wifi off and had music player open and paused, data network off as well. When I went to sleep, battery was at 30%, when I wake up... still at 30%. Here is a shot, notice android system is only 29% even right now it has only gone up to 30% usage as I type this. Starting to make me wonder if it isnt showing right.... which I am sure it is... just cant believe that after 8 hours it hasnt budged. Also, when I unplugged the phone, it wasnt even charged to 100%. Will give an update on what time it finally dies on me.
Do you have any Gameloft games? If so, was there any issue getting them to run okay on this ROM?

Well unfortunately I had to charge the phone a bit because I left the house and needed my phone... will see what happens today... I didn't do anything special it was just slim and wifi off. I use no task killers or anything like that. Will report again on battery stats and will have the zip up with the deleted apks later as well.
PROTIP: For those that don't know. Go to settings, wireless n networks, wifi settings, press menu capactive button, choose advances, set wifi sleep policy to off when screen is off... save battery
