Didn't want to post this in Android development, since this isn't a development issue. I'm running CM 7.1, which is almost perfect. My issues are truly minor, but wanted to see if anyone else had these issues, and had a workaround for them. Most of my issues are with the Gallery3D app.
-Deleting photos under the Gallery3D app doesn't actually delete them. It just removes them from the Gallery app until the next reboot. You have to actually use a file manager or plug into a PC to delete the images/videos. That seems retarded to me. Is there a hidden setting, or do I need to use a different app?
-I'm limited to 480p playback on the Gallery app, yet most of my 720p videos played back fine on the stock Sense ROM. I don't want to re-encode videos just for this device if I can avoid it.
I have other minor issues, but they escape me, so I'll post later. Any solutions to the above?

Always a good idea if you have an issue or question regarding a certain ROM to post in that ROMs thread. More times than less someone has had the same or similar issue. In this case it would be the CM7 nightlies thread.

I would try the nighty thread, located here, but here's a head start on your answer: most of us don't use the included gallery app, due to being buggy and laggy. Try quickpic from the market. It deletes my pictures just fine. As for 720, you just might have to convert them, since CM7 doesn't support it yet, but again, try quickpic first. Any future questions, feel free to post in the provided link.

I was using Hulu with the flash player hack, and it was working beautifully. I have been running the nightlies for a while, and I can't tell what changed. But now when I try to use hulu, the audio is so slow the voices sound possessed!
I found some users in the Incredible forum ran into the same issues when an audio fix for froyo was applied to their rom. But one user posted solving both problems.
Has anyone else run into this? If so have you found a fix?
Yeah I too have this problem

Go to Google type hulu hack xda developers then look for June 17th fix. Works great on my evolution no audio problems.

That's actually where I got the hack in the first place. I un-installed it and installed it again today, and I am still getting the same result. I even flashed back to a previous nightly build, the only one I had a nand backup for, and same problem.
I did find this in the incredible forum,
just add this extension to the URL at the top showthread.php?p=7712210, and check out comment #73
His solution seemed a little over my head, but would something like this work for us?

any simple fix for evos?
Did anyone ever get a fix?? I'm having the same thing
Try turning off dsp.
Sent on the go from my HTC EVO
Disabled dsp still a no go..it's weird the ads sound fine once it gets to the actual video it messes up ..thanks for trying. Any other ideas?
I have tried everything. There is an updated "fixed-flash" in the forum where I found it the first time. I uninstalled my old one, re-booted, and then installed the new one. Couldn't get it to work.
I tried using the hulu.apk, which is really just the Hulu bookmark widget from hulu.com. I tried running it through Dolphin HD, I tried it through the stock browser, and I got the demon voices almost every time. There were few occasions where commercials would come in fine, and one time the actual clip played with normal audio, but 90% of the time, I am getting slow audio.
It seems like in the droid incredible forums, they are discussing this more. I found this from a dinc forum.
This is how I understand it. Google changed something to the audio streams for Froyo. Apparently catering to a newer technology called stagefright I believe. But, this made Pandora, Slacker, and other audio only streams sound like an old record player. So, Google released a fix. Adrynalyne posted that fix early. But it seems that this "fix" only fixes the streaming audio for those music apps and sites. But it caused a delay in the flash audio from sites like Hulu. In regards to this, there was a droid incredible forum talking about a ROM called SkyRaider. I wonder if Cyanogen used the same fix.
"SkyRaider incorporates adrynalyne's audio fix, which was released by google, which as previously mentioned fixed the AAC streams. The side effect was that Hulu and other sites were getting "devil voice" audio. So basically you could either have one or the other, not both.
Prior to the audio fix was an alternate fix where you changed a variable in the build.prop. This fixed both aac (ie. Pandora) and did not distort the sound in Hulu. The only thing affected was a slightly lower quadrant score. No decrease in performance, just a lower score. Personally, I'm still using the build.prop because I don't care about quadrant scores and my phone works properly in all aspects. Again this fix is rather old school now so maybe a better alternative has been cooked up but it's what I've been using for quite a while with no issues. "
Does anyone with more experience than me know what that means? Can this be applied to the Evo?
There don't seem to be too many people interested in this post. But for those that are. I did try editing the build.prop file using a root explorer. It didn't work. I will post if I find anything that does.
Yea I've been trying to fix this for 2 weeks now..I even applied skyraders fix to see if would work crashed my phone..I keep posting and also no buddy seems like there interested in it..i would love tofix this problem cause now it's become a obsession..I've tried and have gotten nowhere..ill give 10 bucks to anyone that can fix this for me!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7880766&postcount=6
After researching this for a while, I've found the only way to do this is to disable Stagefright. Hopefully this won't be a permanent thing. Follow the instructions in the above link. Pandora and Hulu seem to BOTH be functioning properly on the newest Cyanogen nightly after applying this fix.
The Cause of this issue?
I thought I post what results in Hulu sound running slow for me. Hulu works great when I first flash MIKSHIFT v1.0 for the HTC EVO Shift.
When I start having the slow sound on Hulu is right after I do a wipe of the user data (System Reset). It does not matter if you do the system reset from within "Settings/SD & phone storage/Factory data reset" or if you run this from within clockworkmod recovery.
After the reset and installing the huku fix apx the issue with the sound appears.
So it seems that doing the reset is causing something to be changed that causes this issue.
Please let me know if anyone has found a solution for this.

Hello All,
I have been using the CM6 Nightlies for GSM Desire for a while now and it's been great except for the music app.
When I play music, the entire system will lag to a crawl. If I decide to use the browser, the system would either lock up and I'd need to pull out the battery or the entire phone would reboot.
I really think this is because of the music app. My question is, has anyone experienced this and fixed it by replacing the music app with something stock or anything from the market? Will changing the music.apk from a different ROM like MIUI work? By the way, I have used Winamp and it seemed to fix it but in the latest nightly the lagging has returned even with Winamp.
Not posting in the Dev forum because it specifically says not to post bugs there so maybe someone here might have answers.

Hello guys, I just recently rooted my android phone and I installed a custom rom (Nebula 1.0.7) However whenever I use any video messaging app (Yahoo, Qik, and Fring) I notice that my camera is always sideways and I appear the same way towards the other guy. My front camera would always appear to be sideways even if I were to rotate my phone.
I never had this problem before, is there any way to 'mirror' my camera so that it would look upright?
Any help would be very appreciated
Same thing here. I don't think there is a fix for this until we get the official froyo.
Thats quite a shame, I wonder why they can't seem to fix it.
No matter ,its hardly a issue
Yeah I know. It does suck. First time I updated to froyo and saw that I was like wtf? Lol.
Sent from my Evo Killer!!!
I had the same issue running stock DK28. Sometimes it would rotate correctly, others not. I'm sure it will get fixed soon enough!
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Its Screen Rotation Lag.....I believe? I have been trying to fix that for a month or so myself to no avail. Its just a matter of time and a fix will become available. (Froyo/NebulaROM7Sisters-Ext4CWM3)
I think I found the Fix, Download spare parts from the Market. Open it, in the section marked transitions....set that to fast. I just tried it and cleared up all lag for me.

You're. Thinking of something completely different. Its video chat he's. Taklking about
sent from my Epi[demi]c:-D
I use oovoo and it works very well. I know it's a hassle downloading yet another video chat program but it's quite a bit smaller than Yahoo! video and actually works better.
You can video chat from phone to computer, phone to phone, etc.
First of all, I apologize if this was answered already, but the dev thread has nearly 7000 pages and i didnt find it in the last 50 I looked through so i thought ill ask directly.
I installed the Revolution HD 7.0.4 onto my HTC Desire HD, and well it works great, thank you developers for making it ^^. However I have two small issues.
1) Is the whenever I try to change sounds for notifications I get com.htc.sdm crashing, it works ok on ringtones, but with the notification ones it dies right away, im not really bothered about fixing this if someone could suggest an App that does the equivalent job. I did trying to do the reset sounds to default HTC i saw in some places, but the problem persists.
2) This one is a bit more irritating one and id like to fix it. The default gallery app seems to be missing entirely, i dont entirely mind using a custom gallery app, however i do use my phone for photos a lot, and the button in the corner of the camera app, the one that should open the gallery, does not respond to custom ones, not the ones i tried at least, so I would like to shove the default gallery app back in so it responds properly, so if anyone could point me to a link for that, i would be extremely grateful.
Sorry once more if these have been asked already, i tried my best to seek out the answer before asking.
Thank you.
Hello all and first of all Happy Birthday Mike.
I have a small problem with the camera crash.
the camera works fine but no video.
When I stop the video, I have a stop message com.android.camera (sudden closure of the camera application).
I'm reinstalled (with a super wipe) but nothing works.
Thank you in advance for your reply.

Hello to all.
First of all I want to say that the new version 6.4 is 7.1 is very good, but I noticed several things:
First, the radio version is more efficient than the version 6.X of the 7.X.
Then the camera is still not fixed on version 7.1 for video (I read the 6985 pages of the topic and try everything but nothing works).
I therefore expect the surprise Mike: "There are not much bigger fixed Because something might come in the near future." (Post No. 69783 of the topic).
For I have not yet reaches my 10 posts, I bore you a little here
I see a lot of posts, and I mean a great amount of posts, hundreds, about gallery not working and making the device reboot.
I've had that a lot, and what I do is use a file explorer to access dcim file on internal SD card and still choose gallery app to view my pics.
I'm under the impression that there's a conflict somewhere when the app is creating the preview where the folders grid appears. Well, is known that erasing everything and formatting both SD cards may solve this, but, why would I have taken pics if not to see them again later? Defies the purpose of saving the pics. If every time I flash I have to reformat and cannot paste back videos or pics taken before.
That brings me to something else but related. In my search for the perfect ROM, is clearly a personal choice and not a fact, I flashed Slimbean by prbassplayer and is flaweless with out any gallery issue or any issue for that matter. Every build since beta stages has worked well. I love it but I'm a flashing addict and I like all the newer bells and whistles other guys are adding. I'm in no way gonna ask Slim devs to change their minds and turn their ROM into a PA ROM.
In turn, I'm asking here; is there a way to get a working gallery like Slim's gallery on other ROMs? I mean no other ROM has a fully working gallery for me without a full formatting of my SD cards but slim. Can this be replicated on other ROMs?
I'm not complaining really, I've tried many ROMs and flash knowing the issues, I read the threads. I'm no dev nor have the time to learn or a PC with the capabilities to build ROMs. This is not a demand either. Is that I think slim guys are doing something different than the rest which results in a fully working gallery app.
Should I try to change gallery apps between ROMs and flash? Is it a bad idea?
Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure if I just was lucky....but I did only 2 things to avoid the issue....and it never happened to me.
I used 2.6.1.0 twrp.
I transferred only my videos from my internal sd to my laptop. Not my pictures. And I don't have an external card.
Just my experience. I never would have erased my entire internal sd just to use 4.3....not that important to me. Seems pretty much the same as 4.2.2 in my eyes.
Actually ....I'm about done being a flashaholic myself....just want stable....so now I'm on stock Telus 4.1.2....rooted and heavily debloated and greenified.....and everything is perfect.
Do I miss any aosp options....sure....but phone is smooth and every single thing works flawlessly. Pie? There's an app for that. Halo? There's an app for that. Themes? There's an app for that. Call blocking? Built in. Different lock screens? There's an app for that. Etc....etc. lol
battery problems? >>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461864
I have the exact same issue with all of the 4.3 ROMs except Slim: Flash some fancy new 4.3 ROM, go through the initial setup, 'ooh' and 'ahh' for a bit, and then click on Gallery and watch it reboot.
A shame really as I'd love to give new/different ROMs a good week or so of use before deciding but I use the Gallery every damn day so I run right back to Slim.
