I had the same problem. Agenda widget, Fancy widget, and a few others. I just re-did the screens but a tad frustrating. Not frustrating enough to not upgrade.
I tried the new launcher beifly, then switched back to GO Launcher. All of my widgets needed to be deleted and re-added. That includes : 1weather, calengoo agenda & tasks, and 2 tasker task shortcuts.
All work fine after re-do.
Thanks for the rom!

That is completely normal.

Is there a way to change the font of the clock on the lockscreen to ICS?
You mean integrating the Roboto font into the ROM? g60madman and I have been discussing this, but I cannot get the flashable zip to install. I'm pretty sure it's on the todo list. I'll ask him about it later. Maybe he's had better luck installing it than me. EDIT: g60madman said he will take this into consideration some time after the weekend. It's mother's day weekend, and my guess is that he wants to spend some time with his family. Please have just a little patience, he's been popping out ROM after ROM lately, and needs some rest. Not targeting you, but I just need to get the word out so nobody expects miracles taking place with this ROM this weekend. And no, none of you are being rude by asking questions now, I'll be glad to answer them to the best of my ability.
It loads up fine here. Just when are you getting these force closes? Remember to send bug reports to the developer, and uninstall and reinstall if all else fails.

No biggie, I was just wondering if it was possible. Idk how he does it, I barely have enough time as it is with my wife and kid.
I'm sure that g60 will appreciate the words when he hears this. I, however, am a student, and have quite a lot more free time. Do you have any other unanswered questions you would like me to respond to? Remember, since you're upgrading soon, don't forget to check out the FAQ. I recently updated it to include detailed instructions on how to upgrade without loosing all of your apps and data. As always, make sure you backup first. And while you're there, be sure to skim through the questions. You just might learn something useful to help you out.

I finally checked out the FAQ right now... that is a good resource; thanks for compiling that.
Great ROM... I'm particularly happy with the addition of Zeam Launcher, since this is always my first addition after installing a new ROM or resetting. There are two things I noticed after installing the ROM-- very small things-- which may be tied into the installation of Zeam as root:
1. In the bookmark view in the web browser, trying to long-press to copy a bookmark shortcut to the home screen results in nothing. I guess this could be a permission problem, or maybe it is copying to the wrong folder. Workaround is to use the long-press menu from the home screen to add a shortcut to Home.
2. The wallpaper selector is totally wonky. For me, if you stroke or touch anywhere on the screen it immediately picks the first wallpaper (kinda fugly) without being able to navigate.
One thing I was struggling a bit with on both Whyzor's and your ROM is that the Quell game is a little weird. Halfway through the game it stops and then does an oversize version of the droplet animation in the middle of the session and replays the titles to the current puzzle. The game is still playable, but it's weird and distracting. It doesn't ever happen on stock, but I can't really blame this on CM7 since I don't know what's going on in the program.
Nothing here to worry about, just little things. Hoping for great battery life, and then all else will be forgotten.

I can confirm that the wallpaper selector is too touchy. I'll report this as a minor bug. I do not know what to do with your game problem, perhaps it's an issue with the kernel or video driver. With regards to the browser bug, I'll report that too as a minor bug if I can confirm it. UPDATE: I cannot reproduce the add bookmark to home screen bug. This was probably tied to root installation of Zeam Launcher. Try reinstalling Zeam Launcher as a regular user.
Sometimes right when I open the app, but normally when I try to play a game, I'll try uninstall/reinstalling
Edit: Thanks that worked
I cant find that FAQ
I can confirm that it wasn't this way with TG-Reloaded. I just installed it last weekend and was using one of the default wallpapers without the touchiness I was getting with g60.
Have either of you tried setting the wallpaper from the Gallery? That still works. As for the touchiness, I've already reported that as a bug. See here:
0000013: Wallpaper selector is too sensitive - MantisBT
Also, if you want more wallpapers, go to the removed apps section of mtdev.us and download CMWallpapers.apk to get them back from the previous builds. Make sure you download and install that APK on your phone. But you're right, the wallpaper selection is too touchy. Thank you for your feedback!
If you want the FAQ, just look at the first post on the first page by g60madman. If you want a direct link to the FAQ, click here.
It seems that Android does not natively support GIF images. That is probably because they are a proprietary format, and supporting them would cost the Android project and or Google copyright royalties. But the good news is I found a good app on the play store, right here. Also, if you like the app enough and really want to use GIF wallpapers without that dumb watermark, please purchase the Pro version. It also helps support development. It apparently supports GIF wallpapers. Please tell me if you've had success.
I found a post that may be of assistance:

Wifi likes to drop on my side, too, especially after heavy downloading and streaming. I'm going to try and convince g60madman to reopen this bug when he comes back from his break. (He deserved a break, for once!)
epsi:Hopefully I've successfully answered everybody's questions. Please, people, remember to post feedback if my answers have worked or not. If they have worked, thank me by pressing the thanks button. You don't have to write out an entire new post if everything's working correctly afterwards. Also, on a side note, before asking a question, remember to read g60madman's first post on page one. It has all sorts of helpful links, like ones to the FAQ we made together. Your question may be already answered there. If it's a new question, I'd be happy to answer it personally. I also do my best to add all of the previously asked questions to the FAQ so that nobody has to go through the same issues again.
EDIT: Thank you, agentc13, I had answered so many questions and forgot to combine the posts. Sorry about that!

I would suggest that the simplest solution is usually the best. Just open the gif image in an editor and save as either png or jpg.
Gif is ok for certain images, like line drawings, simple logos, cartoon type stuff of very limited color depth, but for most things (in this context) png is superior.
I've submitted some feedback on the Wifi bug. You can view my feedback here. Hopefully this bug will be reopened.

After all the roms I have used, I think this one is my favorite! I am using the ICS theme on mine. And I replaced the Zeam Launcher with a modified version that uses ICS dock buttons that I snagged from XDA forums.

Or you could have flashed my mod for that, from here http://androidforums.com/triumph-all-things-root/547143-mod-zeam-launcher-cm7-g60-style-r0-6-only.html that also changes the look of the folders and removes the home icon from your app drawer.
