Maybe you're low on RAM? Try rebooting or get a task killer (don't run it religiously, just every couple of hours when RAM is running low). Stuff loves to run in the background on Android, and suck up RAM. Although it's good for stuff to utilize RAM, I've noticed that when the RAM is 80+% used lagginess starts to happen.

WOW? Thats not normal at all. Did you make sure to do a full wipe & then dalvik? You may also want to download the ROM again to make sure you got a good download.

I've noticed that too. If you change the number of levels they should stick. You just can't use illegal settings. Less than 4 on the buttons. Less than 20 on the screen.
If you get some settings that you like, could you post back? I'd like to tweak them a bit.

ok, cool.
I was going to increase the number of levels anyway, but didn't bother when my changes wouldn't stick.
I personally like the settings aricblunk came up with. I always use those and tweak them just a touch.
His are actually the ones that are in this ROM, I just wanted to tweak some a little lower and go to full brightness a little sooner.
Ok g60 you were right, the stock player it's much louder and better intervals. Can someone please please please make it work with poweramp? I can't stand the stock player. It doesn't organize as well, no tag editor, no album art downloader...plus it doesn't look as good and the controls aren't as good. Can someone make it work with poweramp? I feel like I'm not the only one who uses it. Or can you at least tell me how to do it. Does it have something to do with the dsp manager? Please help...I need my music! Thanks for everything.
Here are the profiles I came up with a while back. The CM7 custom auto backlight profile defaults to the "dim" one here, along with a -1 to 0 entry for some reason. Not sure why it's there, but reducing the number of levels chops off the last one so removing it requires re-typing in each level manually to shift them all down which is a pain so I ignore it.
If you're going to type in 20 levels manually, I suggest trying the "normal" profile here, or keeping with "dim" to save some extra battery if you're a heavy user.
Of course, this is meaningless if the settings don't stick as reported by 3 of us now.

Well, apparently they stick if we add one more slot.
I like the dim one with the bottom a little dimmer and ramped up a little faster at the top.
It IS a pain to type in all 20(1) levels so I wont bother until the updates slow down substantially.
Really nice graph too, and thanks again for working it up.

Ive been getting alot of force closes with camera and gallery and a few other apps
Maybe try re-downloading it in case your copy is bad? Also, are you installing/restoring any apps from the play store?
Edit:
Also, what kind of battery life are you guys getting with this ROM? I used to get up to about 2 days with g60style, but I can't seem to manage more than about 12 hours with this one. Using free juicedefender with defaults, wifi+bt always disabled, minimal app load installed (maps, juicedefender, gmail, google+, quickpic, ES file explorer, GO launcher, GPS status, google goggles, root uninstaller, and zoner antivirus)
Can someone help me with this poweramp thing? Or tell me a player that is as good. I mean poweramp it's so sexy and it plays almost every format. The stock player just doesn't cut out...can't even edit tags and for someone like me who use my phone more than my computer, that is a big deal. Is there a fix?
Hey All,
Thanks for the continued work on this. It really has made the phone quite a bit better.
I still have to admit I am confused by the response of the GPS. The flashing thing in the menu bar takes well over a minute most of the time before it goes solid (which I assume to mean the GPS has a lock). On my wife's Optimius V it is < 5 seconds and the flashing thingy is solid (again assuming that means the GPS is locked).
I looked at GPS Essentials and it does find 7-8 satellites in < 3 seconds but then sits doing something for > 1 minute until it gives the full details (assuming again that means that it found a lock).
So, I am confused by this and was hoping this might be fixed given the discussion about the GPS in this thread. Any ideas?

I personaly use PlayerPro. I think it can do everything Power Amp can and I find the tag editor to be better. Has a 10 band eq.
I also use the SoundBoost app. It boosts the audio level to better drive my car stereo. I have no problem with volume using a headset.
As far as the volume steps go, I can't really say. I've never had issues with volume resolution, and it's a non-issue with a car stereo with its own volume control.
Maybe a headset with its own volume control would help you? I use a Motorola HD-9 Bluetooth headset (better sound than the HD-10), but there must be a wired set with volume control in-line out there somewhere?
edit:
quick Google search turned up several... Amazon has this Koss inline volume control you can use with your existing earbuds for less than $8. That way you just crank it up 1 step too loud and use the analog, continually variable thumb wheel to turn it down a touch.
That may be all you need with your current setup.
edit 2:
also, have you tried turning off Direct Volume Control in PowerAmp?

Yeah, your assumptions are correct.
GPS Test app will give an exact time to first lock (on the "compass" Sat location screen, if you're interested.
1 minute to lock, I know sounds bad, but it's allot better than it was prior to this ROM. I used to get a lock in 2 minutes, reliably, but many people reported much longer.
I have seen as much as 1:30 or so with this ROM, but never longer... usually less than 15 seconds.
I just checked and got a lock at my desk in 2 seconds.
Some have reported that using the Clear agps data function in the GPS Test app has helped, but I don't know about that.

Im having a lot of problems when i take pictures, whenever i take a picture it only saves it half the time, and it always creates a different folder on my SD card other than the camera folder with all the taken photos
Thanks for letting us know! Keep in mind this is beta, though, and bugs can be expected. What camera app are you using? Try using a different camera app, and it might prove to be a useful workaround for the time being. Let me know if using a different app helps.

I was just using the stock camera app, it might be my fault, i think i messed up a few folders on my micro sd card, thanks!

Had the same issue. Formatted the SD and it works perfect taking pictures with the back camera.

G60, you recommend MX player along with the codec for best video performance. I currently use MoboPlayer on your previous CM7 rom. Do you think MoboPlayer could perform just as well when I update to this rom or should I consider switching?
Thanks

I used MX based on a conversation I had with Izzard and tested with that. It's very possible Mobo will be just as good as long as it can do software decoding. Since the stock player doesn't do software decoding it of course plays like crap.
