Please check and confirm the status of the following findings on your respective devices ...
1. Keyboard characters messed up - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
2. SWAP SUPPORT NOT ON KERNEL, please install swapper 2 and try enabling it on your devices. - INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
3. Confirm if HOTSPOT(tethering) feature is missing from your settings. - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
4. Choose 'external' from 'cyanogen mod settings - application - install location' install a couple of test apps from the market and check if they are installed on the external card. - UNTESTED (I HAVE DARKTREMORS A2SD SO I CAN'T CONFIRM) !!!!!!!
4a. A2SD SUPPORT ON KERNEL EXPECTED. - INCORPORATED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
5. On screen keyboard not launching when phone rotated sideways. - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
6. Selected input launguages not toggling when globe key pressed on physical keyboard. - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
6(a). The keyboard is back in action, however it needs some further tweaks, The virtual keyboard has to be switched off when in the right-side-up position as it is redundant in the presence of the physical keyboard.
Also while in the landscape position the virtual keyboard takes up the entire screen space leaving only 1-2 lines visible for input space, very problematic when trying to drag the cursor guide(which keeps jumping to the beginning of the text field) to the right place in the passage while editing.
Tweaks : The virtual keyboard should not exceed more than 50% of the screen and needs to have better cursor guide control - BUG IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
7. SIM card contents like contacts and SMS'es are not getting populated(viewable) in phone book and messages. The setting for USIM is missing from contacts display setting. - YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
8. The speaker phone volume while on a call is very low, using the volume button increases the in-call volume and has no effect on the speaker phone volume,
. The sound settings however are maxed out for ringtone, ringer, media and alarm volumes. - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
9. In the 'battery use' section of settings the % and the progress bars are not matching, the bar stands at zero for all the categories. - YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
10. When you turn off the android keyboard in settings, the settings are forcely closed and when you try to go to "phone state" it closes... after when you reboot the keyboard is turned on again. - YET TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
11. Video Recording is also not working in the latest build. - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
12. Since Build 15, the camera is not working, the moment the camera is run the screen starts blinking/flickering rapidly with "ANDROID_" showing on the screen, this state cannot be exited the phone needs to be rebooted to get out of this flicker'y loop. - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
13. Since after builds 11 and 12 the overall performance of the animations or screen responsiveness has deteriorated with build 15 noticeably laggy or slow. - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
14. Also the physical keyboard response is choppy i'e, the instant a key is pressed, the letters display a split second later on the screen. So when one is typing a little fast, you see the letters on the screen not keeping up with the speed of key-presses. (PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS CHOPPINESS IS ONLY WHEN ONE IS USING THE PHYSICAL KEYBOARD !!! the android onscreen keyboard as a normal steady keypress response) - FIXED IN THE LATEST BUILD !!!!!!!
15. Wifi HotSpot connecting but internet not browsable !!! - since build 34 - TO BE FIXED !!!!!!!
Thread moved from XDA as Ricardo seems to hang out here...more ...

New bug/break testing on build 9....... others confirm if its pan your devices as well before i add it to the main post.
When the Android Keyboard was unchecked as reported earlier the settings need to be force-closed a couple of times.
After disabling it i discovered the following...
When 'Compose New message(SMS) is opened, the physical keyboard does not work on it. I need to re-enable the Android Keyboard in the settings to be able to type into the Phone messaging(SMS) then the physical keyboard works on it.
waiting for confirmation across all modded devices.
Well, let's continue here. Yes I have the same bugs as reported in the previous post and also the keyboard one. The Rom is constantly improving, I'm sure most of these bugs are going to be fixed. Specially worried about swap and keyboard.
(All the information given is for helping the developer to find bugs quicker)
In the meantime, you can use the keyboard for SMS with Handcent app.
7.6. Memory and Storage<br />
The fundamental function of Android 2.3 is to run applications. Device implementations MUST the requirements of this section, to ensure adequate<br />
storage and memory for applications to run properly.<br />
7.6.1. Minimum Memory and Storage20<br />
Device implementations MUST have at least 128MB of memory available to the kernel and userspace. The 128MB MUST be in addition to any memory<br />
dedicated to hardware components such as radio, memory, and so on that is not under the kernel's control.<br />
Device implementations MUST have at least 150MB of non-volatile storage available for user data. That is, the /data partition MUST be at least<br />
150MB.<br />
Beyond the requirements above, device implementations SHOULD have at least 1GB of non-volatile storage available for user data. Note that this<br />
higher requirement is planned to become a hard minimum in a future version of Android. Device implementations are strongly encouraged to meet<br />
these requirements now, or else they may not be eligible for compatibility for a future version of Android.<br />
The Android APIs include a Download Manager that applications may use to download data files. The Download Manager implementation MUST be<br />
capable of downloading individual files 55MB in size, or larger. The Download Manager implementation SHOULD be capable of downloading files<br />
100MB in size, or larger.
<br />
7.6. Memory and Storage<br />
7.6.1. Minimum Memory and Storage<br />
Device implementations MUST have at least 340MB of memory available to the kernel and userspace. The 340MB<br />
MUST be in addition to any memory dedicated to hardware components such as radio, video, and so on that is not<br />
under the kernel's control.<br />
Device implementations MUST have at least 350MB of non-volatile storage available for application private data.<br />
That is, the /data partition MUST be at least 350MB.<br />
The Android APIs include a Download Manager that applications may use to download data files [ Resources, 56].<br />
The device implementation of the Download Manager MUST be capable of downloading individual files of at least<br />
100MB in size to the default "cache" location.<br />
Thought i would share the credentials of the developers to the growing community.......
Thanks to all the developers found in the changelog for making this possible.
DUE CREDIT TO YOUR GUYS !!!!!!!
the Developer we have interacted so far/may interact going forward :
I just discovered the above implementation to be running perfectly on SMS messaging !
; Phone right-side-up - on-screen keyboard disabled Other 3 sides rotated - on-screen keyboard enabled.
;
Hope this helps the developers in replicating this setting across and making it generic to a qwerty phone (for all apps).
Yes !!! Swap is working but is very very unstable ...
While testing to check how it works on restart ...
triggered the instabilty ...
(Otherwise swap enabled (on swapper2 app) works well until the device is shutdown and restarted or rebooted)
Error Description:
Firstly the swap is not enabled on device restart, further the screen timeout results in device shutdown !!! This is a loop, every time its switched ON/rebooted and the moment the screen times out, the event proves to be fatal, resulting in device shutdown.
(Assuming this could be a swapper-app issue, i uninstalled 'swapper2' and installed 'swapper for root' from the market, but issue remains. Seems like the swapon is triggering the fatality !)
The only way to get out of this fatal loop, is to un-install the swapper-app and specifically 'reboot' !!! and if the reboot is successful then the vicious death loop is defeated, else the screen timeout proves to be fatal every time !!!
Note : The above issue can be recreated, let me know if any diagnostic logs need to be generated(with a 'how to...' attached) !

I would like to request ricardo that please don't give us things like swap if u can't as most of don't need that but please please please don't compromise with the speed of the rom.. speed n low ram were the biggest problems we had on stock rom so please keep cm7 cleen and fast rather then loading it with unuseful features that make it slow and laggy like stock rom
So please please dump build 13 and 14 and keep the stock realy fast as it was in buld 11
I think the same.. The speed has been affected in 14.. but I think it's because of some bugs.. I'm using 11th build.. In my opinion fster than 12 13 and 14. Swap is just a detail when you have this speed.
Hey guys SWAP is very important, specifically when you are browsing on multiple windows/tabs.
In the stock ROM every time you switched from one browser window/tab to the other, the page reloads making the browsing experience a very slow painful thing, the Cyanogen ROM however improved that a little but not much(a slight load on this too and the browser crashes and your VALUABLE research window/tabs are lost...
Whereas swap gives you a great browsing experience minus the crashes, with multiple browser windows/tabs, the page once loaded will not reload, so when you are switching between them the content of the page is static and visible all the time and making toggling between them a pleasurable experience !!!!!!!
I would say SWAP is a necessity on devices with less than 256MB RAM, and our device has only 194MB RAM !!!
People who do not need swap can always abstain from activating it on their devices.
(to my knowledge ... A SWAP ENABLED KERNEL WILL NOT SLOW THE ROM, ITS A FEATURE WHICH LETS THE KERNEL EXECUTE THE 'SWAPON' COMMAND.......so performance and a swap enabled kernel are not related.)
Honestly i don't see any LAG in the speed of my device from builds 11 to 14.
I did face a choppy keyboard response on build 14 but i downgraded tested and upgraded back and tested and the choppiness ... it was resolved. YOU CAN TRY DOING THE SAME AND SEE IF THE MINOR ISSUES SELF CORRECT !
Guys we need to wait until the stable version is out, all the devs currently seem very busy adding newer device support.
All the unresolved issue will hopefully be ironed out in the stable release !!!
Patience is a virtue ... and i can see that it is paying off ... the stock rom is lost way behind.
I second that, overall screen clearly laggy, keyboard choppy, ANYBODY NOTICING THE CHOPPY / LAGGY KEYBOARD TOO ??? (my downgrading/upgrading trick did not resolve, neither did shutdowns/reboots)
Overall screen response/animations very very laggy !!!
NEEDS SOME SERIOUS LOOKING INTO !!!

Keep testing and don't forget to report !!!
This way a STRONG stable release can be hoped !!!
Build 17
The speaker phone volume is working at high level (I think it is ok);
Camera not working
Performance of the animations or screen responsiveness laggy or slow.
Yes speaker phone fix ... confirmed on build 17 !!!
