Thanks for this, if I switch on/off my WIFI the phone freezes for a long period of time, but that is a known fault so hey ho, I just leave the WIFI on now.

Other than the iPlayer issue (which is not a biggie for me) this is all smooth and a nice improvement to the phone.

ETA: I am loosing all my contacts on every reboot - any ideas??

Hi, after two days of use I can see CM9 works fine for me. I had the wifi freeze only twice though, of which one the first time after installing the ROM and the other just now. Then I also facethis:

-Green Power app is not working (it should switch on/off wifi at intervals to save battery). Might this be related to the wifi problems? Or is it somehow overruled by CM9?
-Apps are still installed internal. Even when setting location to sd card. For example; just installed Opera Mini browser and had to move it with link2sd afterwards.

CM hardly ever supports FM radio. If it ever does it's usually super easy to implement and usually an afterthought. Radio is painful.

Update: Changed settings in link2sd to (force?) install on external; this seems to work for me.

Thanks for the ROM and congrats on this release - you've put Huawei and Vodafone to shame.

Got the WiFi crash very consistently though. Hope the following helps:
- Went from stock B888 to stock B892, then to stock B936, using update.app method
- Flashed CWM 4.x and installed B940, B944, S3 ROM, and Infusion
- Between ROMs, always always did a CWM factory reset wipe, and for good measure unmounted and formatted system and cust
- Never had the WiFi crash until now
- Battery pulled, booted up, WiFi was on
- Did some testing: WiFi crash happens with and without mobile data turned on.
- WiFi crash only happens when turning WiFi on (not when turning off)
- Auto reboot happens after a 1-4 min freeze
- The first 30ish seconds after either cold boot post battery pull or after auto crash reboot, I can toggle WiFi on and off about 4-5 times, after which it crashes.
- After either cold boot post battery pull or after auto crash reboot and then waiting a an hour (with no WiFi toggling), I can toggle WiFi off and on once. If I try to toggle off and then toggle on again, it crashes.
- No system settings have been changed since install, only apps installed and used.

I know that most of this has probably already been reported but there's my experience - this is just to try and help the devs.

Tried a clean install no apps and no restore from Google account. Still get the freeze on wifi. Then phone freezes booting up after battery pull. Wipe cache phone still freezes on boot anim. Wipe cache and dalvik phone optimises apps then freezes on starting applications. Wipe data and rom boots.

This is the achilles heel for this rom currently. I feel for daz all the time and effort and still this seemingly random bug.

try rebooting with your wifi hub/router turned off. It seems to me that it only freezes when there is connection to be made. Can't confirm that 100%, but that's what seemed to be happening to me last night.

EDIT: in other words after a freeze, I went into a room that was too far from the hub to get signal, and it fired right up.

And yeah, I feel for Daz and the other lads too. Must be frustrating to have such a sweet rom, so close to being right. And then on top of that, loads of people making complaints about the obvious...

They are getting moved to your google account storage on phone. I have this issue with EVERY b944 rom, unfortunately I have it with this ROM as well. You'll just have to get used to google acc for contacts (with or without sync, doesn;t matter)

[Hoggonator]

I sorted it out. I wiped all and reflashed, then I installed all my apps from the market then I restored only contacts from HI suite, then I exported the contacts to the SD card then reimported them and they have not gone once and I have tried a few hard resets and reboots.

WIFI issue also gone as long as you do not sit there going on, off, on, off, on, off etc - if I leave 30 seconds in-between no freeze up.

Good ROM this now and will be my daily until an update.

Thanks for the ROM Daz.

Only issue I have had is the flash for the camera does not work.

Works fine here on both Camera Zoom and the standard cam app.

[Dazzozo]

Yeah you shouldn't be having issues with flash...

[Modifoid]

Strange for me the flash works on lgcamera app but not the standard app.
