good point

I know what you're saying, but this is all done as a favour to us.

I think the answer to this is,  that it is an experimental rom. So, its really in the testing stages and because its in a state of development atm, I reckon uncertainty comes with the territory.

OK, it doesn't matter if it's free, paid, "experimental", or "stable". the dev<>user feedback loop simply runs much smoother, and the software gets better faster, if someone is maintaining (impartial and accurate as possible) Known Issues. not the developer either because his time is better spent developing; someone he nominates to go between users and himself. this is a problem i've noticed again and again on modaco and other sites. the developer's own known issues are a good starting point of course. Free software really has an advantage as it's easier to get interested users to give their time, also for free. I'd volunteer except i already spend too much time here and don't even use this ROM yet (and the G300s i look after aren't mine, making me a poor bug tester).

sorry for going OT i just wonder why this is always the reply when it really doesn't make sense.


TL:DR now Daz has gone public with his ROM that could be the #1 user choice for the G300, he needs to grow the team to avoid being swamped with user feedback.

Yeah if Dev's can't be bothered to keep us updated with current bug tracking info in the first post (and eta's), they shouldn't post in the first place.

When installing the Google apps zip I got a message saying it had failed and that the zip was bad. It also appears as a corrupt zip file when trying to open it in windows. Is there another version I should try?
Also I rebooted after installing I've been stuck on the cyanogen 9 splash screen for a few minutes now, is this meant to be happening?

Just re-download it and it should work.

Try downloading it again: http://cmw.22aaf3.co...0317-signed.zip
Directly from phone to SD, then try flashing via CWM.

EDIT: Woops someone beat me to it.

Daz, for some reason, my phone says that it has no service even though it does. Ever since I flashed CM9, I think its always been like that but I guess I never noticed

so before I read your mesasge I tried booting cyanogen without installing google apps and now it's been on the cyanogen splash screen for a few minutes without progressing beyond it, could that be a result of trying to load it without google apps?

it should load fine without google apps

download the rom and apps again, check the md5, factory reset and reflash

It's because some plmn/spn stuff hasn't been implemented yet

Why are you using an antivirus ?!

Because it protects me from viruses, but also helps me to track my phone when lost. It also has many 'root' features which makes it far more superior compared to it's rivals.
