Just so people know, it'll do this "hang" every time you clear the caches to do some rebuilding. After a flash, don't worry about it unless it happens to last 20 minutes or so.

Installed alpha3. Everything seems to work good except that having 'problem loading widgets' on desktop. Please let me know if it can be cleared.
I do not have the 'problem loading widgets' on desktop.
Make sure your desktop isn't 'locked'. Settings --> More --> Lock Desktop

I did have an issue with the Google Search widget immediately after the update but didn't have a problem reinstalling it.
install this for the first time yesterday evening... Thanks to this video, it went all smooth... [YT]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ57i2d7NBY[/YT]
Has anyone else had a problem with pixelled video playback (Netflix, mxvideo player, etc) with alpha 3. Video was perfect on alpha 2 and can't find any settings to fix it. Everything else is running smooth
Installed it successfully and loving it! So far no problems except crackling speakers (which I get every so often with webOS. A simple reboot fixes it.
Issues I've noticed with CM7 A3. None of these happened to me in Alpha 2.1:
- The Render FX Widgets, when activated, make the system veerryy slooooow.
- Bringing up the Android browser that's already running (in the background) takes 5+ seconds. Killing it and starting a new one is instantaneous, however. [edit: This problem seems to have disappeared]
- Placing Touchpad on Touchstone causes system to reboot. This happened only once so far.
- Removing USB cable after charging causes reboot. Happened only once so far.
- Render FX Widgets, when activated, do not seem immediately to take effect until the screen is repainted.
- Android browser crashes frequently.
- Haptic feedback no longer works.
I'll be editing this list as I gain more experience with Alpha3.

Yup, seems to be a step backwards for me too, I'm sure they'll get onto it.
So much complexity, so much regression testing ... I'm not sure I want to go back to software development :-\
Anyone have a problem with the camera app? I can start the app and see the view from the camera but It won't snap a picture. Then a message comes up and says it is going to force close. When I try to open the app again it says camera error - Cannot connect to camera.
I checked and you're right the camera is screwy and grainy now too. Also I'm finding a few bugs with the DolphinBrowser now. It's still a work in progress so **** will happpen.
Yeah I haven't had much luck with the camera app with any of the alpha versions. I am sure they are looking at it.
Installed without issues by downloading directly to touchpad and wiping caches in CWM. She's been running fine and stable for a day now which is nothing new for me as 2.1 did the same on my TP.
I will play with it for a couple of days and see if there are any benefits to keeping alpha 3 for my uses.
I will probably revert back to alpha 2.1 as so far, the only difference I see between the two is the lowered video playback quality.
I've been fortunate not to have been plagued by the SOD issue, and I'm not much of a gamer. I'm sure the changes made in this alpha benefit a wider audience but they have broken a major application for my tablet use.:'(

They'll probably have a fix for the gliches in a few days.
When you say you have a major app;ication broken, which one are you speaking of?
I have to agree. I find that Alpha3 introduces problems (see my earlier post for a list, post #30, this thread).
The only benefit it gives me is better WiFi behavior, but that is a minor issue. I am considering restoring my Alpha 2.1 backup until these new bugs get fixed.
Read it, You may be right about the battery use. It seemed that way to me also but I was on Netflix for a long while last night, so I'm not sure. I don't have a Touchstone so can't address that. I stopped using the android browser earlier on and started using Dolphin but it did seem a little buggy after update. Revertting back to earlier build is up to you but they will probably have a fix for it in a few days. CM is good about addressing bugs. I was thinking it may have had something to do with it being a holiday and somebody may have rushed something because they were running out of time.
