Is there a list of issues for CM6 (2.2)? I am trying to find some answers on a few things but haven't been able to find a list of ongoing issues. Where is the best place to find this information. More specifically:
1. I am having a problem with the call log not logging the last call if someone else calls while I'm on the current call (i.e. call waiting). Therefore, if someone calls that I don't know and I plan on calling them back, I can't find the phone number later.
2. I have been unable to figure out how to put a new contact into a specific group. I don't see any option whatsoever. Is there a setting to change.
(And maybe not issues but howto?
3. Camera: I don't see how to switch the lighting choice (i.e. incandecent ...) while on the camera. I actually did it once but don't know how, can't find access to it.
4. Is there a way to access contacts in a certain group. I used to be able to get to any particular group on the stock rom but can't seem to access that now.
5. Is there a way to add a folder to a home page that will pick up all contacts in a group. I see how to do it for "Starred" but would like to be able to make my own linked folder from another group without having to individually add each member of the group. (Couldn't do this on the stock rom either!.. Don't know why..)
Thanks for any information and by the way I do love the overall function I have from my Hero and will not go back but would like to learn how to solve these little issues.

First what build of the CM6 do you have and do you have the most recent gapps?
1. There isn't a reason for not having a call log, I would reflash the newest gapps.
2. Menu, Add +, custom shortcuts. You can add a custom shortcut for any contact/contacts
3. Look into adw when you go into the camera, it should give the option for incandecent.
4. You can star certain contacts for quicker access for certain contacts when you go into the 'contact application'
5. Look at custom shortcuts

5. Look at custom shortcuts

1. I just downloaded what seemed to be the most recent stable (non-nightly) build i.e. 6.0.0 and The gapps is the one that says it's for 6.0.0 (Phone says Baseband 2.42.01,04,27,Kernel-2.6.29.6,Mod ver 6.0.0,Build FRF91)
Note: I do have a call log.. The problem is that when someone calls in on call waiting the one call that I am currently talking to gets lost. The phone number shows up while I'm on the phone but after the call is finished that one call never registers. (Only when a second call comes in, the rest of the time, no problem)
2. I think I understand you can shortcut any contact, or add a folder with preset (All contacts,bluetooth received,facebook,Starred) but I want a Folder with people from one specific group as assigned under Google Contacts) Is that possible?
3. Figured this one out, something must have stopped working in the software because some of the options were gone, but after reboot on phone options are back, problem solved, Thanks.
4. Thanks, I can star certain contacts. But again I guess you can't add a folder or link to a particular group.
5. Looked at custom shortcuts, can't find way to pick specific group.

I did figure out that I can go under Display options from within contacts and choose the google account that is being displayed then check only the group I want displayed and then I have the list I'm looking for. But I just want to make a folder or shortcut to that specific group that I can access whenever. I still want the link to all contacts for other times. It seems like a very useful thing. Maybe I should go to the most recent nightly build and see how that works? Thanks for your time on replies.
