Thank you so much

I'll be using this from now on, it's been working awesome besides that.

Can't wait until we get some gingerbread roms

The worst part about this is that I gave this to a guy to test for me a week ago, and he said it was all fine....  I wonder if he made any calls with it

I think the ot908 guys where talking about a gingerbread update coming soon for thier device.. the 908 is the jr version of the 990...  maybe the 990 will get one too.

I was kinda hoping there would be more support in the community and someone would start work porting CM... no sign yet..

Hullo! Maligayang Pasko! Merry Christmas!

I recently noticed that the front-facing camera does not work!  The option to use it in the  camera app is not available and I can't make it work via apps like  Tango (obviously the reason why I noticed it. LOL)

Also confirming the bugs above.


Love this ROM. hope dev won't stop!  Thank you very much sir!

A couple of force-closes:
Settings > Display > Brightness

and

Settings > Sound > Volume

Great ROM over-all Can't wait for further development.

Seasons Greetings.

Hi guys,

Thanks for the feedback,

Im aware of the volume/birghtness issue, I'll look into in the new year.

As to Facebook, you need to ask Facebook to support your device, the application only supports some devices, the 'hack' to get around that is to edit the build.prop but then you loose acccess to the correct Android Market.

As to the front facing Camera.. erm, my Alcatel P990 has not got one.. are you sure yours has?

[rdrgrtz]

Hi Sebastian and merry xmas! I can confirm the brightness/sound bug, but my Facebook works fine as far as I can tell. I do have a battery bug, since it won't charge past 95%. About the front facing camera, I can confirm that bug too...what I'm confused about is when you say your P990 doesn't have one...isn't P990 an LG Optimus device? I thought this ROM was for Alcatel OT-990? I have a OT-990A.

Anyways, love this ROM and thanks for the work. Happy new year!

Is that not a light sensor?    

I'm not going to be able to check till next year, but I'm fairly sure mine has not got a front facing camera....

[rdrgrtz]

Actually it's a front facing camera AND a light sensor; it was working on my branded OT-990A before I flashed it with this ROM. I'm also having trouble getting a GPS fix, if anyone else can confirm.

[rdrgrtz]

Confirm can't add Facebook account bug.

Another bug: can't move a pic from Download folder to Picture folder.

EDITED!

Hello!   Happy New Year!

There's an interesting bug with the bluetooth.. I can't seem to send files without at 3rd party file transfer program?  Is this just an issue with mine? How about you guys?


As for the front-camera, yes it's there!  Here's a local reviewer with the proof! (obviously I can't post with mine coz its missing now. LOL)

Ok, so just to sum up my bugs:

Can't set brightness via the Settings->Display option.
Can't add Facebook to Accounts.
Battery won't charge past 95%.
Can't get a GPS fix.
Front camera not working.
Can't move files to other folders in the File Manager.
Facebook app is VERY unstable and force closes most times.

Other than that, everything else seems ok. I can't confirm the Bluetooth bug, since I haven't tested. I do have to say that I'm really pleased with the battery duration of this phone.

Model: Alcatel One Touch 990A
Vendor: Claro Dominican Republic

Other bugs:

Screen feedback sounds erratic.
Screen lock sounds not working.
