    Fixed 1GHz bug?

    • Maxx says:

      +1, I don’t know what do with my phone. Randoms reboots and battery drain.
      I don’t remember what was the last version of CM which works OK to downgrade to it 🙁

      • Hayden says:

        10.2 works really well for me 🙂 i just wish there was maybe some more updates for f2fs but its great

        • Onniel Fernando says:

          i like 10.2 but i have installed the latest Release of CM and i had Troubles with Youtube.. it doesn’t play any video

        707 works good for me.

        So, maybe your battery is damaged. Check it, if battery have like air bubbles, then battery is damaged. The battery should be fully flat.

        Regards

        707 Funciono bien para mi.

        talvez, la bateria este dañada. Revisa, si la bateria esta abombada, entonces esta tañada. La bateria debe estar totalmente plana.

        Saludos

          I was going to say the same. Even though the phone showed over 50% battery full it randomly rebooted.
          Turns out the battery was bad (bubbles!!), discharged very quickly and the batt indicator was not updating correctly.
          New battery and everything went back to normal.

          Iba a escribir lo mismo. Se me reiniciaba solo el telefono a pesar de que indicaba más del 50% de carga resulta que en realidad estaba agotada y el indicador decìa cualquier cosa.
          Compre una nueva y se solucionó.

    Cm10.1 and cm10.2 update please

  • joao sa says:

    TWITCH app working?

  • Luke says:

    Camera still crashes. And no video recording even with other camera apps.
    Althoug, great great work. Thanks a lot!

  • Fex says:

    I get a black square over some of the top bar icon covering the wifi and network signal icons.

  • ItsPeet:Carbon says:

    No issues so far!
    Working Camera, working video recording… responsive… and all this with a dirty upgrade from 0707.

    I think you did a good job guys!!

    • ItsPeet:Carbon says:

      Perhaps you could include the ZenX governor and Zen scheduler?

      ZenX turns off the second core in idle. Possibly another battery saver 🙂

    • soy.dmr says:

      dirty upgrade from 0707 too, and same results. Nice job Novafusion Team.

  • Daniel says:

    • soy.dmr says:

      when some google apps disappear, only run google aroma apps without check anything. It has solved issue for me.

  • Salvador Peralta says:

    there have not fixed that bug when the battery charges off the device does not mark the percentage and not turn the battery must be removed to turn again.

  • xelajd says:

    Running on this ROM – did a full backup using “Easy backup” on my stock ROM – then installed CarbonROM from 7/7 and now this one. Everything seems to work well, except the call log/history. It is not updated, perhaps because I restored the Full call-log from Easy Backup. Does CarbonROM not overwrite the older entries with the new ones? It sucks a little bit not to have the call history.
    I highly appreciate the team’s work with this ROM!

  • Gem says:

  • join says:
