[Guide] Fixing major CM13 bugs

This thread is meant to help you fix major cyanogenmod 13 bugs. CM 13 based ROMs are very nice, and probably the best way to being the android marshmallow experience to the m7 but they suffer from several problems.

Let's cut to the chase:

1. Camera: install cameringo from the play store, it works flawlessly. Also, cameramx works but expect some fc here and there.

One could argue that neither app is as good as HTC's stock camera app. But sadly they're the only options I'm aware of right now. Plus the m7's cam isn't all that good to begin with. If photography is your top priority you should consider another device.

2. IR blaster: install Asmart remote IR or ct remote from the play store. Both work for me but I recommend trying both and then keep whichever you prefer.

3. heat/battery issues: install no frills or set CPU app from the play store. I Peter no frills as it shows the current settings (so you can memorise them in case you decide to revert later).

Lower the maximum CPU speed to 1.134 GHz. You can change that whenever you need to, but 1.134 provides good battery life without compromising much performance. However before you run a benchmark or any other CPU hungry app remember to increase the max CPU speed back to the highest value.

set the I/o scheduler to bfq. cfq is OK but I prefer bfq. Google I/o bfq vs cfq to learn about the difference.

Set the CPU governor to intelliactive, interactive or smartmax. They're considerably better than ondemand. Smartmax results in lower performance but slightly better battery life. interactive is a very good all around governor. Intelliactive is an enhanced version of interactive. Experiment with all the available choices. intellidemand is good too but I prefer intelliactive or interactive. Experiment with all the available options your kernel provides. You should be able to figure out your favorite governor thru trial and error.

@Bharat Makhija directed me to Asmart remote IR, here's his thread:

Another member directed me to cameringo & cameramx but I can't find the post or remember his name :)

If that was helpful don't forget to hit the thanks button ;)

PS: I'm on crdroid ROM which doesn't have other major bugs.
