cm6 rc3 is on rm now

Did you try LED notifications customizations?

Yeah. When I customized colors for my notifications, I tried a bunch of the different speed settings, and all of them result in a solid LED when I get a notification.

Hmm it works well for me

Do you mind if I ask what rom you came from, and if you wiped before installing RC3? I came from RC2 and did not wipe, so I'm wondering if that may have something to do with it.

I came from Saphire 1.0 with a wipe. Wipe and see it might work
 
OK noob question. Coming from 5.0.8 is a wipe required? Likewise, will I need to wipe when moving between RC3 and if there is a RC4 or 6.0 final? Thanks.
 
It's a good idea to wipe from 5.0.8, since it's technically an entirely different build. I'm not so sure about from RC3 to RC4 or final. I would recommend doing a wipe though anyway. When in doubt, wipe it.
 
It appears I have fixed my problem where the LED light was staying stolid instead of blinking for notifications. I went into the Advanced settings in the Notifications section and I enabled/disabled the Always Pulse, Succession, and Pulse in Order settings. I did this a few times, and I also tested the flash for each of my notifications. Lo and behold, my LED lights now blink for notifications. I can't remember the exact order that I changed these settings, but I do currently have them all OFF, and both my Gmail and SMS notifcations are working properly. It's worth a shot for anyone else having this problem.

I tried what you listed here, and it seems to work.

In fact, I noticed that after doing the enable/disable for those advanced settings when I do a "test LED" under an app (google voice / gmail) the lights blink during the test.

A test email sent also shows that my LED's blink (they stayed solid before).

So for me at least, what you posted works!

Great! I'm glad to have helped.

Does anyone know if the google fix for stagefright is included in this???

The google fix for stagefright is not included. Upon flashing RC3, my sirius/xm app exhibited the same problems (e.g., skipping/repeating) it did before I disabled stagefright. I had to once again manually disable stagefright in the build.prop file.

Why manually disable??....Google did put out a patch for this. It's in the cvps thread somewhere. I was just wondering if this patch was included and you have answered my question. Thanks!!

Does this patch simply disable stagefright? If that's what it does, I can assure you that it is not included in RC3, because I checked the build.prop file and stagefright is enabled. As a result of this, I had audio problems in RC3, until going into the build.prop file and changing the stagefright line from TRUE to FALSE.

It doesn't disable stagefright but rather fixes it. At least that's what I read I think. I'm going to have to find that thread and post it here. But anyway I did see a thread over in the cyanogen forums saying that this patch is included because it is straight from Google and cyanogen is up to date with the latest aosp.
 
Link here and here. For the threads about the patches being included in CM6. Actually I think you posted in both but maybe never saw the end of them saying its included.

Maybe the fix is planned on being implemented in the official release of CM6 and isn't in RC3? All I can say is that I definitely had audio problems with my sirius/xm app that didn't go away until I manually disabled stagefright in RC3.
 
RC2 -> RC3 Thoughts

Added features are nice, however there are a few major performance issues that I am facing.

1. Battery life which was increased noticeably in RC2 has actually fallen to worse than the 5 series running at 1200 (and this is only with the 800Mhz stock kernel). I went from 2 days battery life to less than one.

2. Speed -> RC2 kernel @800 vs RC3 kernel @800... RC3 is just slower feeling overall... and I tested to make sure. I get significantly higher benchmark speeds on RC2 over RC3.

3. Heat -> RC3 runs hot on my device... this is the first ROM to ever do this. I'm one of the lucky ones that have been able to run at 1200+ with BeKit and P3Droid at temps barely over stock... Not so with RC3... @800Mhz I'm getting significantly higher temps.

I run stable on both.... but RC3 is just slow. And it looks like it might be how it's handling the processes. I'm going to poke around a little more - but I'm thinking that the stock ROM with no 3rd party apps actually retains running programs longer...... but I need to do some more comparison to be sure.
