- Theme Chooser. The ability to customize look and feel of CM9 to user choice using predefined themes or community driven user inspired ideas. Preview the theme before applying to make sure its exactly what your looking for in a theme before applying to the phone.
- Lockscreen Shortcuts. Allows you to choose lock screen shortcuts (1-5) anything from browser, Facebook, twitter and messaging, the choice is yours, with customizable icon's.
- Camera Save Location. We now have the option to save pictures to either internal or external storage. This previously defaulted to /emmc/.
- eMMC/SD Card Swap. /emmc/ is internal storage and /sd card/ is now the SD Card.
- Updated kernel to FE16. This is pretty self explanatory.
- Notification Light Options. Advanced notification light settings with the ability to set per application.
- Improved Signal Bar Reporting.
- CM9 alpha3 Monday, April 16th, 2012
- Faster GPS triangulation. In previous builds, you may have noticed yourself unable to locate more than 2 satellites. this bug has been squashed, and now more satellites should be available to get a signal from. That, and also, with improved gps binaries, getting a GPS lock shall be much quicker.
- Phantom voicemail fixed (seriously)! In alpha 2, we didn't compile the Phone.apk with the proper flag for the fix. We didn't forget this time! :)
- Manual CPU frequency settings. We patched the Settings app so it sees our frequency table, thus aptly allowing us to manually adjust this. Be aware that any mods done in the performance section can be a bit dangerous. Be smart when adjusting your frequency maxes and mins.
- Improved battery life. Tweaks in the frameworks xmls to optimize it for our phones have led us to have much improved battery life.
- Fixed Roaming Menu. Previously, there was a bug where making a change in the system select menu for roaming didn't persist through reboot. We've fixed that, as well as making it possible to select more roaming options as featured in Touchwiz.
- Updated kernel to FD10. This is pretty self explanatory.
- Pinch to zoom in camera. This feature was brought into our builds from upstream.
- Expandable sound menu. This patch was also brought from upstream. You can now make it so that when you change volume with your rocker, you can make that more expandable, to edit other sound volumes, eg media or alarms.
- CM9 alpha2 Sunday, April 1st, 2012
- Android version has been updated to 4.0.4. This brings along with it all the bug fixes upstream that it introduces. Big thanks to the Andoird Open Source Project.
- Video recording has been fixed. A big thanks to the guys at teamhacksung for the patch.
- The issue regarding Netflix and other similar video players has been fixed. Thanks to our Sbrissen for the fix.
- The phantom voicemail issue has now been fixed. If the problem doesn't seem to fixed for you, though, try pushing this apk to /system/app.
- Capacitive lights turn on by last action. This was changed due to users request, so that it works in a more convenient way, eg for nighttime users.
- Dock settings has been introduced into the ROM.
- CM9 alpha1 Sunday, March 25th, 2012
- Initial alpha release
- If your MMS does not work, you probably restored a bad backup with cached settings in telephony.db in data/data/com.*.*.telephony that need to be purged.
- If your Calendar sync is broken, you probably restored a backup. Wipe data and it should work.
- If you're having trouble flashing due to script asserts, you may have formatted system. The assert script looks to the build.prop on the system partition to know it's flashing on the correct device, and if the system isn't there, it'll fail. Please, don't format the system partition before flashing.
- The ROM doesn't include a custom recovery for a good reason. That reason being that it's been a well documented issue that formatting partitions, via ROM flashes that format system, or factory wipes that format data/cache partition can lead to a potential brick. As per a safety measure, we leave it as stock recovery. We hope to bring back in a custom recovery soon, once the issue is resolved.
- Dock audio confirmed working BUT users must select 'Use Dock USB Audio' from Settings->Dock BEFORE connecting device to dock (setting locked when docked). Default is UNCHECKED.
- Cannot update PRL, Profile or do Sprint Hands Free Activation. You must flash to Samsung's stock ROM in order to do this.
- Google Chrome is known to be very unreliable or broken for most users.
- Configurable notification toggles - not yet merged in CM9 upstream
- Gallery sometimes fails to show newer photos or screenshots if you have many photos on your sdcard. Gallery thinks they are from the year 1969, while the filesystem and EXIF both show the correct date.
- Haptic feedback is stronger than stock. Wastes battery.
- "Private Number" in the call log appears as name "N" with phone number "-".
- Wireless ADB enables on 3G/4G too. This is unsafe. We should ship with default iptables rules that block it.
- MMS Slideshows are not supported. You can view it by saving the attachments.
