CM6

What is CM6? I knwo that sounds like and probably IS a stupid question, I however, am unfamiliar with CM6. I am on the froyo RC1. IS this the same thing?

essentialy, yes, its the same thing. there may be minor differences.

CM6 is Cyanogens AOSP (Android Open Source Project) first official Froyo version.
RC1 is the first official stable build. So CM6-RC1 is the first stable build of AOSP 2.2 for the CDMA Hero. Hopefully we'll be getting an RC2 soon.

hopefully a sense build from a like device...
sprint needs to wake the funk up and get me a desire or legend. IN THEIR ORIGINAL FORM FACTORS!

Im curious then, where is the stock CM6? What improvements have been made from the RC1 to say, the 9/1 nightly? Im running the RC1, with the uncapped Kernel #9 from Decad3nce. I just removed the collins tweak, (I am calibrating my battery), once complete I will re-install. I need to find out why im not getting more than 6 hours to a full charge, I must be the only idiot with this issue since everyone talks about 20 plus hours of battery life...I have removed the widgets to just the fancy widget. I have uninstalled the FB app. I have fancy widget and power panel widget running and THATS it. I have 3 screens going. I must be an idiot and be doing something wrong. I just bought a new battery and am calibrating that now to see if anything changes.

im not an expert by any means. all i know is that there are a few different 2.2's for the hero and they are all very similar. everything can be found in the dev forum...

The changes are very minor from nightly to nightly and a change log wont be shown until the RC2 build, you can, however read the change logs on Cyans site if you have the patients for that kinda of thing.
Your battery life might be due to a couple of things, make sure your radio is up to date, along with you prl/pri and your sprint profile. Turn off all syncing for a day, and then watch it. Also the way I calibrate is wipe my battery stats drain my battery till its dead and then slow charge (usb charge) untill 100%.

The only syncing i do is the fancy widget every 3 hours & the gmail...I dont have this set up for work mail. Since Gmail is a push, and the widget is every four hours I didnt think sync made that much of a difference. I am on PRL 60670 and I have NO CLUE where to find the radio version or how to even upgrade it.

Radio is your baseband version. should be 2.42.01.04.27. The battery stuffs is really odd since I not having an issue with it its hard to tell. But I would try going to fresh 2.3 and running that for a day to see if it persist, if soo then your current rom setup my be the problem.
I running a night cm6 with the standard kernel and the rest is about the same as you.

Reasons to Wait on CM7

Just wanted to gather together the current remaining problems with CM7. What apps don't work, what's unstable, etc...

It actually seems very stable for me. I like it more than nookie froyo. With the 1.1ghz kernel it runs very smooth with launcher pro.
Every app I've tried works fine, and best of all - they show up in the market.
Its definitely worth a try, you can always go.back to what you had if you don't like it - just make a backup.

Bawb3, are you using dalingrin's overclocked kernel? If so, are you able to mount your nook on your computer via USB? I just installed the kernel last night and I'm unable to get USB debugging to come up when I plug in. I tried on Windows 7 and OSX and nothing happened in either OS.
Other than that, I love CM7. I started out on Customized Nookie Froyo, but I was having major issues with scrolling speeds and weird market issues. So far CM7 has been rock solid and blazing fast. I would recommend you give it a go.
Just make sure you use one of the latest nightlies if you do. The customized versions are nice, but no one does CM7 like the actual team.

New NC user this week, I've been running CM7 on eMMC for about 48 hours (first nightly v12, now v13) and it's been very stable. DSP video is the major thing lacking. Flash is smooth (including Hulu). I am having some trouble with seeing my installed/purchased apps in the Market but there are work-arounds I haven't tried yet.
I noticed in v12, Google Reader worked 100% fine and Maps FC'd. Now in v13, Reader scales down to 480x320 as soon as I open an article, but maps works fine. I've read this is a problem with DPI settings but I haven't got around to fixing it.
Overall if you're sick of B&N's Android, CM7 on CWM 3.0.1.0 seems to be the most stable of all the ROM's I tried, even in its nightly stage. But I have read of other peeps having major problems. I just really love Gingerbread. Google has really got a winner with 2.3

battery life is horrible w/ CM7, lots of drain when sleeping.

I'm not too concerned with the battery drain considering the tear downs have shown that the battery is plugged in and not soldered onto the board. By the time we kill these batteries with multiple charges someone will have put out a kit to replace the battery yourself...just like with the ipods that weren't supposed to have user replaceable batteries.

I turn off WiFi when I'm not using it (you could use Tasker to have it automagically go off/on at sleep/wake) and battery life improved significantly. I'm guessing when wifi is on, a lot of background activity happens.
But battery also isn't a big deal for me either. I probably use the thing for about an hour a day untethered, and the rest of the time it is plugged in.

It might be that an app like TweetDeck is scheduled to get updates every 3 minutes or something. I make sure to turn all of that stuff to manual as I pick up the Nook with checking it in mind anyway and can wait the few seconds it takes after I hit refresh.

Is battery life alot better in nookie froyo?

Yes, battery life was was a lot better in Froyo for me. However I had a load of other problems in Froyo such as market intermittently not working, wifi problems, flash not working in firefox. I am sure it could be fixed, but it worked out of the box in CM7 and I liked CM7 UI much better.

Is anyone running CM7 out of an sd card?

If you're seeing battery drain, it seems SetCPU profiles eat up a lot of CPU. Just use the inbuilt settings (Settings > Cyanogenmod Settings > Performance > CPU)
Dalingin posted a new kernel that supports USB mounting on N13+ and also a new Interactive governor which should be faster.
DSP is really the only thing missing. I replaced Google Reader with a dolphin bookmark to the smartphone site, which I feel works a bit better anyway.

I just watched the video below and am pretty close to loading this. I tried Nookie Froyo was wasn't happy at all. I actually like the rooted stock appearance and performance except for the lack of flash. I just wish these ROM's allowed me to make the home screen look like the stock experience with the "continue reading" options on top and the stock B&N reading/store app.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1Z29zs70YE

I'm running CM7 v13 and I feel like this is the best one overall. I had a few minor hiccups with the wifi but i found a work around to it.
Contrary to what people say, I am impressed with the battery life. This is why. The original NC is used as an e-reader, but i purchased it as a tablet. I haven't had alot of experience with it, but i was able to get at least 6 hard hours out of it with the OC. Left it on overnight (roughtly 6 hours) with wifi and battery only dropped like 5% which is pretty good to me.
The only gripe i have is the DSP but that's tolerable considering all the other advantages of it.
The xda community has been very helpful and alot of the quirks with it has already been worked out if you do some searching in the threads.
Just my 2 cents.

Quick question on the nightlies: If I update from lets say #13 to #14, does it erase everything I had installed? or is it just and update that keeps all the apps and settings?
I am on #13, and some problems I noticed:
- Wifi would go on and off by itself coming out of sleep
- The "clear" notification button is REALLY unresponsive (might be a hardware issue thou)
- Takes FOREVER to charge (more than 5 hours)

As long as you don't wipe your data (though do wipe your cache) before reflashing, it should keep everything. It kept everything for me from v12 to v13, and then kept everything from v13 to v14. You should always double check the important stuff though.
I have the same responsiveness problem with the Clear button, but I'm 99% certain that's the hardware. I have had response/accuracy problems consistently in the corners of my screen, especially the top. Since the problem was on stock, nookie froyo, and CM7 (it's actually a lot better on CM7 than stock), I'm guessing it's the touch panel's fault.
Charging goes a lot faster for me if I've got it plugged into a wall (like 2 hours for 30% to 100%) instead of my computer. Probably a lower current coming through the USB on my computer than from the wall plug, I get the same difference when charging my Milestone. Don't know why the ROM would affect charging at all.

The only main problem with CM7 is that video acceleration doesn't work. That means no Youtube app, Orb app, playing x264 files with the local player, etc.
That is a deal breaker for me, but if its not for you then.....

Atten: Video works on cm7

Just so we're all on the same boat here, dalingrin has found and fixed the issue with video being choppy/audio being out of sync. It now runs as it should (although these are still test builds (officially ). If you want to check it out, look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=960537
Youtube app work, flash works, certain video files work (depends on proper codec usage/software choice, as with everything else)
Also, his latest OC'd kernel works as well with the above.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
So, now you all have another reason to make your nook color's daily driver CM7
The few last things that (I remember) are still needing to be done:
1) Fix Sleep of Death (if it can be). This will increase battery life by approx. a magnitude.
2) Merge all the fixes (DSP and various Tablet Tweaks (from mad-murdock, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12472179&postcount=261) into the nightlies (not just independent test builds)
3) Profit!

cool
........ (10 char)

dalingrin*
And thank you for the update.

More props to all involved:
I run the nightlies with the oc kernel and started adding the Tablet Tweaks: fantastic so far.
I just tested the video test build and had no problems with it at all.
I went back to my backup with TT since that is more important to me than YouTube, but all of this stuff should make it in before too long which is good for all of us.
The Tablet Tweaks are definitely a work in progress and may take longer than the video but for those who haven't tried it yet- they will be a tremendous addition to CM.

from my side I can only confirm that new video test build works great. some people reported issues with gapps however in my case everything is just perfect. now fingers crossed to fixes of bluetooth range and sleep of death

Yep I agree, I loaded TT fix as well as dalingrin OC fix really makes for an excellent tablet experience.
I had reverted the DSP because I thought the speed improvement was more important than watching videos. But having both is even better thanks dalingrin /mad m.

Okay, I must of botch the order when I upgraded to build 30 a few days ago. The screen and OS was sluggish.
Today I installed TT released today, I belive it's based on CM7 build 32 and applied the OC kernel. Everything works great now.
I tried running an AVI (P90X disk 1) and the video looked great, it was nice and smooth.
=X=

Dsp fix is committed to gerritt so it'll be in the next nightly.
We should be having tablet tweaks and dsp at once soon as mad compiles it.

This is really great news for me. Can't wait for the next nightly build to include this fix.

10 times the battery life? Really? I guess if you only use it for an hour a day and let it sleep the rest of the time. Another 10% for heavy users, maybe.

I flashed this yesterday. YouTube works great. Flash video on CNN.com is still choppy. Should it be? I tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash with no improvement...
I also tried one of my own videos in ffmpeg format and worked great.
Great work Dalingrin! And thank you!

I've heard 2%/hr standby vs .2%/hr standby. Typical 8-10%/hr when in use, so if you use it a total of 5 hours that gives you a total of 30 hours of time off charger with no sleep, 255 hours with sleep.

Best Battery from different roms and official releases.

Anyone have any views on which of all roms and official releases have best battery?
i think best gingerbread rom is iceandfire

As far as battery life is concerned, my oppinion, nothing beats a clean stock Eclair (official), followed closely by a clean stock Froyo (official). All mods are great, but battery life is better in the official ROMs in my own experience.

iceandfire v2.1 is the best ROM I've found so far in terms of battery life. Don't know why, but it just lasts SO long!

I use ice and fire loads its good but I wish it could be a lot better, testing froyomod now, am considering buying a new phone mainly for battery life as the milestones is sooo bad!

As mentioned, nothing beats Eclair. And if we talk about Eclair, nothing beats Telus Lite.

I have CM7 installed.
Your battery mileage may vary depending on your usage habits... But I'm typically a pretty heavy user. Lots of Angry Birds/other games, surfing, Pandora, etc. I go to sleep at around 11pm with my phone unplugged at a full charge (100%), and I can use my phone until the next day mid to late afternoon - that's about 15-18 hours. Granted, a lot of it is when I'm asleep (until about 7am) and during my working hours, but it's still pretty decent considering how I use the phone. ESPECIALLY with all I've heard about CM7 having terrible battery life.
I DO have several apps and tweaks to try to lengthen my battery life though...
Some things you can do:
- install "Network Switcher" from the market. You can set conditions between certain hours and the screen off to turn off WiFi and 3G. I have mine set turn off all data between 11:15pm and 7:15am when the screen is off.
- install the "Toggle 2G" app. This automatically switches the phone to 2G mode when the screen is off. 2G typically sucks less juice than 3G. (get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739530)
- tweak your /system/build.prop file so your wifi scan interval is a higher number. I have mine set to 360 seconds (that's 6 minutes). I don't know about you, but I don't need my wifi scanning every 15 seconds for an open or known signal.
- also in the build.prop file; change your ro.telephony.default_network setting from 3 to 0. 3 means GSM/WCDMA mode; 0 means WCDMA preferred. From everything I've read, WCMDA preferred tends to switch signal types less often, which benefits your battery.
Heck, even if you DON'T have a Milestone w/CM7 installed, these tweaks can help immensely with your battery life.

Froyo should beat out Gingerbread... They're roughly equal for me, but the memory issues of GB make me have to keep my phone on longer to wait for tasks to complete, thus draining more battery overall.

Yep, I've tried pretty much any Froyo and/or Ginger Bread mods (and I've specially liked CM7 / ShadowMOD, but all other ROMs are great as well), no one is close to the stock Froyo as far as battery life is concerned. But, I have to say, it is not absolutely stock, but, with exactly the same VSEL/CLOCK settings I've tried in other roms (which save some battery since it uses lower vsel).

That doesn't come remotely close to the V6 SuperCharger script.
The minfree levels is only one aspect of it.
AKMO doesn't fix groupings or priorities.
With those settings, all your apps are getting killed at 28 mb - because of the screwy groupings they are in the 5th slot while slot 3 are 4 are basically empty holes.
And that whole "banned rom" spiel is getting pretty annoying.
I'd bet money that HONO's SuperCharged CM7 kicks Cronos' ass with those AKMO settings.

zeppelinrox, have I offended u in anyway?
I have even introduced your method to calibrate battery to other people.
Why do u need to reply in such an arrogant and nasty tone towards me?

I agree with zeppelinrox, running his V6 supercharge scripts work wonders.
And no matter what ROM I use, i always use SetCPU to auto-adjust the processor speed based on certain scenarios. For example, I'm using CM7 right now, which auto overclocks to 1000mhz. That's great for performance but crappy on the battery. However, with SetCPU I can force the CPU to run between 250mhz and 400mhz when the screen is turned off. There's simply no need to let it go up to 1000mhz if I'm not even using the thing! Calls still come through fine, as do emails and messages. But it really extends your battery life. You can go as low as 125mhz, but then things do start messing up. As soon as the screen turns on, the phone is automatically allowed to run at 1000mhz again.
It's also useful for when your phone gets really hot, as a precaution. If my phone reaches 42*C it automatically underclocks as well. I picked that number out of a hat though. It's just a number I felt was too hot based on my own experience with the phone.

I think you're reading too much into it. I didn't think he was being arrogant/nasty. He was just being straight forward.
Just my 2 cents though

No not offended.
Everybody knows that gingerbread memory management is screwed up and fiddling with minfree levels alone ain't fixing anything.
AKMO alone does nothing to fix memory management it doesn't even tell you what apps are where.
One set of settings on one rom has a totally different effect on another rom.
The groupings in CM6 and froyo mod are nothing like CM7 and Cronos.
So those settings would make froyo roms dog slow but are kind of aggressive in CM7 and Cronos and of course do nothing to make the launcher more responsive in both cases.
The only way to know what kind of effect minfree levels would have is if you know where the apps are.
And the only way to be certain of where they are is to tell android where to put them.
Which is why the SuperCharger script works on all roms the same way... it puts apps in their place so that the OS will run in a predetermined and predictable fashion and therefore the lowmemorykiller settings will have the exact effect that the user expects.
So no, I'm not offended.
But kind of annoyed that I spent quite a number of weeks perfecting it and somebody who knows this is fiddling around with AKMO settings while they really truly can have a phone with fixed memory management.
btw, if you check the memory groupings with AMM, you will see that AKMO is annoyingly in memory way too often. Which is ridiculous.

Cronos is good and feeyo is cool but lack of updates, v1.2 had issues plus I needed to test other roms.
Btw the memory managent on cm7 and cronos mimics my strategy from v5 anyway - which was to give the laubcher its own OOM grouping/slot but everything else is just weirdly placed far down the list so still not as good as v5.
Tthen V6 simply out does v5 hands down.

[STOCKICS][NEW BL NEW LAYOUT][CWM 6] Link to Stefans V28G 2nd Gen Excellent ROM

I am using this ROM at the moment as daily driver.
[STOCKICS][NEW BL NEW LAYOUT][CWM 6] Link to Stefans V28G 2nd Gen Excellent ROM
But as we all know the thread is now closed, and we cannot discuss this Good (nearly) Bugless ICS ROM by Stefan. The thread is going down rapidly and very soon people may ignore it. But I think this NVFLASH rom is not ignorable.
Of course there is no improvement is available from him after he left, but I thought we can share this link with other members who may wanna try this V28G 2nd Gen NVFlash Rom and discuss about it. May be some patches by other devs will make it more practically useable.
One mote useful link by his is here ... [Offering] CWM 6 recovery for Stock ICS with new bootloader [new: v28G based] could be useful for some.
NOTE: On this rom I am using Homero2's RIL1109 V28G MOD. Working good.
Requesting all to discuss this rom.

Moderators, please advice if this post can stay as per the rules, as the main rom thread is closed.

I use the rom since it was out, and it is very good for me. BUT my standby battery consumption is too high (10% in 8h without wifi, data connection etc). Except this, it's a great ICS feeling.

Its really a good rom.
Do you mean your battery comes down from 100% to 10% (90% drain) in 8 hours? Strange. Mine works great. I get only 30% drain in 8 hours overnight with all automatically switch off by SMART PROFILE (Free) app. My device goes on silent profile mode, switches off wifi, bt, gps, data at 11:45PM and again comes back General Profile mode in the morning at 7:30AM without switching on anything. I switch on things only when necessary. I really get good sleep without any disturbance This app works perfectly since a year on my all roms and gives 100% perfect result and battery lasts longer. 100% is enough for me for whole day (24+ hours). Yes I do voice calls around an hour in a day, other than some moderate use of music, video, camera, etc.
Yes I also have fixed habit of Advanced Task Killer (Free) which kills background apps every 30 minutes in CRAZY mode for all 24 hours a day and keeps saving hell lot of a battery.
These two apps are first thing I do to any rom. Try this and feedback. I dont need to blame roms when I have some tweaks like above to try!
EDIT: Screenshot added with exact 50% juice remaining after 14 hours. forgot to mention I use Stereo BT (Sony MW600) most of the time connected to device.

This is better suited in the General section, since there won't be any real development going on, just discussions of a "dead unsupported" ROM.

I am not sure, but other devs are working on mods and patches thats why posted here. But as you said it, it should go to general section.
Moderators please move this post to General Section
EDIT: An opinion why this post should stay here in this comment.

It consumes 10%, from 100 to 90% in 8h. With GB it was 2-4%.

Same to me! 10% in 8h without wifi, 2g-3g, and any battery drainer on! So... I've tried topo's ics rom and on topo's rom i had more battery consumption than stefans...
Thx stefans for this great rebuild... Devs here saves our phones. LG knows how to lose costumers!!!

Kind of agree, but I'm this tread deserves attention even though Stefan left xda. I mean, the provided files by Stefan are being used as baserom for follow ups nd roms should be posted in dev section, unless it's a rom eg changed boot animation and ring tones I think, keep this alive, what Stefan did with 28e/g are what made us be where we are, running difference ics leaks.. So, to hail Stefan I think roms based on 28e/g with minor changes should be linked here why criticise Stefan when we have hundreds or thousands off topic meaningless post every day which don't gets erased

I used this rom for a couple of days. No major bug. But for me, it was too laggy. So back to MIUI GB.
However, it seems like i am the only one with this issue. Sometimes i was pressing a button and the phone just froze for 30s or more .... Not practical as a daily driver. It was driving me nuts !

You shure you don't have any app installed that is SUCKING the battery BIG TIME when it's in standby???
I have the same 2nd Gen rom from steffan, since the day it was released by him, and my p990 is clean as new (zero programs installed after flashing (i lie, i was forgetting that i installed Endomondo)), and my battery barelly gets drained during night (generally 2-4% max), and using the mobile lightly (like 5 or 6, five minutes calls per day, and turning data and 3g on two or three times a day to check my email, and take a look here @ xda to see if there's any news that is worth it) i get generally 2 days (more accuratelly, 42 to 46 hours) with a full charge...
Something in your phone should be draining the battery, as from my experience with the rom, it his the best rom i ever have used in battery life...
P.S: I forget to mention, i'm also using v28g baseband from stefan.

I was in this ROM from beginning until I found topo ROM's same. battery has always been bad for me...nothing about the ROM but there is something which is sucking the juice so badly....
Waiting for Topo new SP3 which he is testing.
But for these small things I am happy with this

Yes, sync is off and the only app running in background is WhatsApp.
Btw I found an other crazy issue in the V28G firmware:
Sometimes (when I use the phone) the screen suddenly gets darker and has dark spots. I already had this problem a few times under V28G. The first time I thought my phone would be defect, but the issue disappears when you lock and then unlock your phone.
Here's a photo of that:
Does anyone already had the same crazy issue?

I've had that crazy issue, yes.

Flix123, i have exactly same thing in mine. But it's not something i noticed only on ICS, i already noticed this problem 4 or 5 months ago (during that time i was using Temasek's rom) so i think this is something related to the phone itself due to aging or something like that... (mine is really getting old now, i bought it on may 2011....)
