[Q] CM9 Problems

I have 4 problems with CM9 alpha 4.
1.I can't move/organize any of my apps around in the app drawer.
2.I can't setup up the face unlock, I tried but it just doesn't work
3. Every time I download a new app it makes a shortcut on the home screen.
4.The clock app always force closes.

1. Get a different launcher, google nova launcher I think it has that ability.
2. You need to be in a clear place with plenty of light for facelock to configure and needs to be there for a good amount of time.
3. Go into the market go into settings and uncheck auto add widgets.

Thank you so much, but I already tested Nova Launcher, and I still cant edit my apps in the drawer.

It also helps to read the CM9 threads like the Tip Sharing thread in General if you don't want to wade through all the posts in the Development thread. The market tip was one of the first ones posted.

golauncher ex will allow you to organize and even hide apps. it will use a little more battery to also have it running, but its worth it IMO

I used to use it, but on cm9 it just "takes away" the feeling of having ICS.

Is anyone else having problems sending MMS I use Hancent...but none of my pictures ever go through?

My MMS works fine, even over wifi, with the stock application and with handcent.

When I first flashed this rom I was having the same problem with mms. I only could send them with the wifi turned off but for some reason it's working fine now.

You don't. You can use a third party text app and block it from view, but I find widgets like APW pull from the stock message app so they are still shown on the widget. You can also either wait and see if the cm team integrates a work around to hide them or use GV. I just use GV.

I'm having a really bad problem with scrolling of pages in web browser and in apps as well such as facebook or instagram. It's a got a huge delay and it's terribly slow and unresponsive.. Also zooming is not auto-fitting txt even though I checked mark on the settings..
Anything I can do to solve this?

Hmm sounds like they removed the smooth scrolling cache tweak. You could try supercharging it. Or you could jump ship to Aokp31.. its basically the same deal as cm9b2 just more features. Its on the same framework 4.0.4... and it runs slick.. it has the option to force enable the smooth scrolling and it works like a charm. Sorry if suggesting another ROM isnt an option..

Yes I would prefer to stay on this one... this rom you mentioned is still on alpha right? I think i might try cleaning the cache in cwm not sure if that might help..

Aokp... its really on par with cm9 beta. They are very similar and just as stable. Aokp just has extra features.. that come with the ROM control. And no wiping cache in cwm is not what I ment. Scrolling cache is a different cache entirely .

If you would like you could just wipe cache and dalvik and flash right over it. However i suggest you wipe everything.. now that the play store restores your apps you've installed with it automatically thats the best option. I used to be really hesitant to do fresh installs.. but since the play store remembers what've previously installed and does it upon restore your google account its much easier and less room for error .

Interesting. I am actually having the same issue. It was not a problem on beta 1 but beta 2 for some reason is just awful for me. I may have to jump to AOKP. I really liked an earlier build I was using but it had some scrolling problems too. These are all smoothed out with Build 31 then?

Chrome works perfectly fine for me on CM9 A5.
However, I does not have flash, so just a heads up.

Because adobe isn't updating flash for mobile platforms after ICS.

Chrome has become my daily browser since I started using Dolphin with my Nexus One.
With the last update for Chrome and FF09, it's the smoothest browser I've used on Android. However, there are still instances where scrolling is jerky and sometimes scrolling stops working for half a minute. It seems like it only happens when I try to scroll while a page hasn't finished loading, but all of the browsers I've tried seem to have issues with scrolling an incomplete page. Closing and reopening the tab will fix the jerky scrolling.
Chrome also freezes on me forcing me to force stop it through settings -> applications. I cannot reliably reproduce this problem and it is annoying, but the benefits of having access to the open tabs on my computer on my phone outweigh this problem.
I do wish Google would iterate the Chrome beta app as fast as they iterate the desktop version of Chrome beta because I'm assuming they mean for this browser to become to default one on Android and jerky scrolling and freezes is pretty bad.

I absolutely do not know which Chrome people are using that they find "buttery smooth" and "fast". It is a terrible laggy and crappy browser on my end. The last update killed it for me where it only launches to a white screen and just freezes. If and when it does decide to work properly, it's stutters and jib-jabs when scrolling, no flash, just all around terrible. No wonder it's surname is still BETA.
Dolphin browser (mini or HD) puts it to shame, really.

You can also try firefox... It's very smooth, and untill now, I didnt find any problem

I like it but I never use it. No flash is... well, no flash. No plugin support like the rest of em either. you'd think with google being the og devs for android. Could make it all work out.

galaxy w is slow as hell even after cm9 cm10 cm10.1

why it is so slow

That depends on what/how many apps you have installed and how much of the phones resources they're using.......
Also some third party launchers (go) are 'resource hungry' and their 'addon' themes will slow things down even more......

sorry i forgot to say the phone is for my mother and yes i am not a noob or something
2 years of phones flashing experience i have xperia u
she puts just facebook and whatsapp
thats it no third party launchers no heavy programs no games nothing exept that
my old xperia play had 4 pages of heavy games and apps and no lag of course stock 2.3.4
when i was using it i tried cm10 alpha 2 and it was smooth
i was using it back in 2012

I have the same problem here.
I am using CM10 alpha 2. It's kinda slow on my phone (galaxy w)
I use no other launcher except the default launcher that i got form CM10 alpha 2. And the weird thing is, it is slow, and it's battery drain.
Mw battery drain faster after i use this rom
