Great rom. Smooth and fast. I only have a couple of issues, the power control widget doesn't work for me. I can put it on the screen, however, none of the symbols show up. I am getting some LP redraws, so I am going to try the supercharger script.

Also, my camera doesn't work. Not sure is this is rom related because it stop working with Liquid 1.9. It hasn't worked since. It opens without the options on the right side of the screen (i.e. - zoom, etc.) and when I try to take a picture it forces closes.

No issues with camera. Only issue I noted so far (and I've seen this in a lot of other Gingerbread ROMs) is that while bluetooth voice dial works, the voice prompt you are supposed to hear isn't there. This is a big deal for me because I use phone mostly in car with car kit. Had something to do w/libaudio policy or such (noob). I know in SS ROM there's apparently an option to switch between this and DSP (which I don't use).

Is this something that can be fixed?

Thanks!

I e-prostrate before you op.

just got this intsalled. other than what seems to be a couple reboots haven't noticed anything much.

some noob questions follow..
wiping data, cache, format boot and system
1. i thought all that was required potentially was wiping data and cache. what do you mean by 'format boot and system'?

2. i have this app running.. com.android.vending "alarmservice", on a bare install of this + wired tether, (not sure if it wouldn't have appeared if I didn't install wired tether), anyone know why?

3. which version of wireless tether was used, i see a few alphas etc. in the code.google... page.

4. how do I get the (smoked glass) widgets to appear?

4. how do I get the (smoked glass) widgets to appear?

1 - partition menu in clockworkmod recovery
2 - vending = market
3 - i don't use it very often, but i always use their newest alpha i think its v3
4 - analog clock, power widget, music widget, search widget etc are skinned, just add them as usual; long press on home screen in empty space and select widgets and add the one you want

1- i didn't format boot and system. i assume in some cases this provides benefit over simply wiping data and cache? (I followed the stickied instructions, 'painless thorough rom switching in under an hour'.)

2- yea, I know it's the market app, I don't know why it's continuously running. apparently from some other thread it is instantiated by another program, but I don't know what it is that is doing that.

3,4- thanks

If you're looking to donate to a charity, I'm sure the Red Cross and Salvation Army have their hands full right now with all the devastation going on. If you wanted, I know you can donate directly to certain chapters of the Red Cross so that the money goes directly to a certain area, like if you wanted to donate to the chapter that encompasses Joplin MO, for instance.

If i were looking for a great place to donate I would donate to pet shelters or rescue efforts, here is a very good one a friend started up in Louisiana. This is the website on facebook (PuppyPower Rescue | Facebook), she has paypal set up for donations, i can assure you its 100percent legit, she is a friend of the family and rescues so many dogs and finds good homes for them. I am taking nothing away from Any tornado victims, i just have always been leery of donating to any red cross because big brother always has their hands in the honey pot, i would rather bring money to the people
cleaning up from the disaster efforts first hand.

So many good charities, hard to go wrong as long as you know it's legit. So many causes out there, and there will never be enough to supplement them all.
