Re: CM9 rants
 

Got bored, and flashed CM9beta...

Battery life seems fine, no weird SMS issues with SMS that maxed out 2 messages (> 160), and everything seems to be running pretty damn smoothly. Wow...very sweet.

Re: CM9 rants
 

yeah, the SMS clipping worked, but I use SMS2PC, DesktopSMS, and GV integration.
SMS2PC: over 160 characters - the person gets weird garbled characters and it's in my GV
DesktopSMS: over 160 characters - the person gets weird garbled characters and it's NOT in my GV

weirdness.

Other things I don't like
1) I can't add FB contacts
2) can't merge contacts.

Re: CM9 rants
 

on their site:

so maybe your settings somehow got messed up?


Another thing that can do desktop sms is qtADB not sure how well it does it though as I use it only to simplify ADB.

Re: CM9 rants
 

The Facebook thing is ICS not CM9 causing that. I would image that goes for the contacts too. Most ICS roms I've seen pretty much have the same issues.

Re: CM9 rants
 

Google "Facebook ICS" I use HaxSync and highly recommend it. however its not free :(

Re: CM9 rants
 

You can do both of these,
I am currently on Nightly 9-20120614-NIGHTLY-i777,
(update if these steps do not work for you)

1: updating FB contact,
Steps can be found here: FaceBook Sync for Android ICS Devices | Niranjan Thilak

it has worked for me without faults.

2: Merging contact steps for CM9 with current Nightly:
open the contact you wish to be the primary profile,
tap settings, and tap edit.
tap setting again, and tap join.
find and tap on the contact you wish to merge.

again these step were done on the latest nightly, find your latest nightly here: CyanogenMod Downloads

on the left find your device and download your device.

Cheers.
