I have been using cm7 for about 6weeks now, currently using rc1 but now that Gingerbread is available should I revert to that or stick to cm7? What is the difference?
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Gingerbread builds (GRI40) are all built using the google OTA version. It includes the new drivers issued by google for our device. CM7 is a mixture of the OTA and a lot of AOSP. You have seen CM7 in action. Albiet on an older build. The GRI40 builds are mostly stock (depending on the one you choose) with a couple of addons that have been reworked (trackball alert for example) for gingerbread. Trackball wake/unlock, however, does not work on any OTA based build.
Trackball wake works on cm7, what I want to know is, has the official gb build got more to offer than cm7 or better to offer than. Cm7?

The very definition of CM7 is that it has more to offer than Gingerbread. CM7 takes the latest Gingerbread and adds more features to it.
CM7 uses source from AOSP. That is why trackball wake still works on it. Same as [email protected] and leoginger. Those are built on AOSP. Any ROM using source from the latest OTA, as of yet, can not allow for trackball wake. Google has pretty much put the kabash to it since the button push from an sleep state doesn't register anything anymore.

CM7 latest nightly uses the code from the latest OTA, and trackball wake still works. The trackball wake that was broken was the style that apps could use on an unrooted phone. The trackball wake in CM7 is a system change, completely different and unaffected.
CM7
Just get the nightly builds. They are built from the ota and modded "cyanogenmodly" so they are what i choose. I am on v11 of cm7 its smooth. no probs. BTW they compile and upload everyday i have to flash everyday man!
To be honest I'm gonna wait for a stable version and stick with rc1 for now, I got sick of constantly re-doing my phone every time I flashed a new nightly.

Is there a stock Gingerbread ROM + Root?
If so... where is it. My wife wants stock for a change, but needs root for some of her apps.
I've been away from the n1 a LONG time.

There's a few of them in the development thread
yeah, very vague... i guess i was curious if one came more recommended. I know their basically stock, but if there are variants, one must be better...

Wrong. CM is still using AOSP in the nightlies with GRI40 bits added to it. Any OTA stock/deodexed rom does not have trackball wake because of the way google has changed the way the trackball clicks register. Many are working on a solution but it hasn't been found yet.
modaco custom rom, i baked my own in his kitchen and it's running smooooth.
Just flashed the latest CM7 nightly and gapps over RC1 and couldn't be happier. Scrolling, swiping and animations running really smooth now. No hiccups!
Trackball wake is still the most important feature for me too.
Definitely CM7. I went back to stock N1 gingerbread to check it out and came to a conclusion that it offers no advantages over CM7 -- it doesn't feel faster (the opposite, moving between desktops felt a bit jumpy) and lacks the customizability (for example, non-customizable power control was a deal breaker).
I beg to differ from most of this thread.
For anyone looking for stable ROM, CM7 is a pure disaster and the very definition of instability and bugs (found lots of them, starting with the ill-famous wonk, but the latest volume dropping was what finally got me to revert back to Enomther's Froyo).
I didn't test the stock Gingerbread yet, but I believe it to be much less buggy than current CM7.
Both of them don't work well with custom launchers, loaded with more than 5 screens. Even 5 screens performance is barely acceptable. Also, no 720p and no camera enhancements on stock Gingerbread yet, no SGS power bar, and no trackball wake - and the camera enhancements aren't there on CM7 either. If you value these more than the new look, cool screen off animation, better stock keyboard and proper copy-paste - stay with Froyo.

You mean the home screen scrolling that turned choppy on ginger bread is now smooth again with the latest cyan nightly?
I've had no issues with CM7 since starting to use RC1. Nightly #14 is speedy and rock solid. It's so easy to flash to the latest build using Rom Manager each time too. Just download and flash the latest ROM, without clearing anything, and you're soon running the latest build without having to reconfigure or reinstall anything.
I've replaced ADW with the stock Gingerbread launcher found in the market and use the Nexus Revamped, LWP app. Scrolling lists, Homescreens, App Drawer, you name it... is all much faster, smoother and glitch free.
I'm using RC2 now, and I've had no issues at all, the Rover theme I'm using perfectly compliments the rom too, I like the extras cm7 offers and it seems to be quicker than gb on my mates desire!

My N1 is rooted running CyanogenMOD 5.0.7.1, color trackball alerts, the Desire Camera, Helix Launcher, etc... basically all the goodies. I know a lot of people in my situation went back to stock and flashed the pre-release Froyo. My question is why? I watched the Google I/O conference and yeah, Froyo looks great, but it doesn't seem like there's anything (other than Flash) that Froyo can do that all these custom ROM's out there can't. Is there something in Froyo I'm missing that I can't get in these custom ROM's? I'm thinking about just waiting until Cyanogen comes out with his own custom Froyo ROM....
I think it's the google apps that are different. they look good and work better. for me the Froyo didn't had the bugs that where in eclair. Btw the live wallpapers work better on froyo.
Mainly - Flash, JIT and a speedier browser. Nothing that can't wait for a month.
Browser speed is enough for me, since that's what I use most on my phone.
- JIT
- Flash
- Chrome to Phone
- Install to SD (without having to deal with creating the SD partitions)
- Froyo Radio is more stable/reliable (from my own experiences anyway)
I'm also using pershoot's .34 kernel and LauncherPro and the overall "experience" is excellent.
Way better than CM5.0.7.x? No, but it was enough for me to jump on the bandwagon.
i'm the opposite kinda, i am using cm 507 and WANT to try out froyo, but not sure if its gonna be worth it cause A) i dont wannt burn in my screen any worse with that horrible white notification bar, and B) not sure about the new radio update (is it better or worse?).

A burn isnt because froyo. It isnt even a burn it isnt annoying me. I even can barely see it. I have my nexus almost 4 months and always used white bar and the burn is almost invisible i had to lool closely to see it
B for me the new radio is way better have more bars. The 3g speed at home has improved. So i am happy with it
You can try froyo if you dont like it go back to cm.

the burn in i'm talking about is when using the standard white notification bar. this has been permanently burning in your screen and many people have it including me. since froyo cant truly change the notification bar color, using froyo will continue to worsen your screen using that horrid white notification bar. this is why i'm hesitant on switching.
about the new radio, i've read both good and bad. some people love it, and others hate it. so i dont know which to believe until i try it myself. again, this is the reason i havent yet jumped at froyo. of course i could always switch back if i dont like it. but laziness....
Bluetooth implementation is better in Froyo with my headset at least. For that alone I won't go back
If you're worried about burn in, the latest version of launcherpro lets you hide the notification bar.
I'm currently using it, my notification bar is hidden, and I'm on completely stock 2.1 unrooted rom.
I was happily running CM5.0.7.1 and decided to try FroYo. I found that the benefits were no where near enough to outweigh the excellent features I was missing from CM (not least the themes).
In the end I decided to go back (although in the process managed to brick my phone in a new and never-before-seen way but thats another story!)
In any case, the FroYo that is about turned out to be a non-final version that was pushed out by mistake. Google has since withdrawn it.
My advice is to just wait until the FroYo code is in AOSP and Cyanogen releases a CM6 branch based on it.
CM6(when it appears)>rooted 2.2>CM5.0.7>2.1 Which is why I'm using 2.2

I agree with you. It all depends on what you use your phone for. The things named up above is what matters most to me. Little customizations like themes. I have apps that are taking advantage of jit, there is no way I'm going back to cyanogen until next release. If apps2sd didn't work then I would go back but even that works
Sent from my Nexus One using Tapatalk
I upgraded from CM5.0.6 to Froyo. I loved the JIT and the new Gmail app, but in the end it was a wee bit too unstable for me for daily use, so I went back to 5.0.6 and then upgraded to 5.0.7.
My Froyo has proven VERY stable for me.
I love the new Gmail app, now I can receive Gmail from my other account and stop having to forward everything.
JIT? man oh man, I love how my Nexus flies now!
It is noticeable faster than before!!
Apps2SD was never a concern for me, as I keep things to a minimum.
Will I go back to Cyanogen?
Nope.
But I will upgrade to a Cyanogen powered 2.2

Straight from nightlies to RC........ wow
Ok, for those interested, i do not believe this will have the video lag fix.. i do not get how this can be an RC level release....
I just installed it and it seems to work fine, including YouTube. No lag detected, at least on my Nook Color.
Anyone know if the sleep issue has been resolved?
Or if the menu lag/garbage collection issue has been fixed? When I tried it about a week ago certain apps such as Reddit is Fun were basically unusable due to the extreme menu lag.

CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC4 has arrived
CyanogenMod-7.0.0-RC4 has arrived
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-7-0-0-rc4-has-arrived
The next round of RCs have arrived. From RC2 until now has mainly been bug fixes and we’re getting near the final state. In this release, there may still be some lingering GPS issues on the Evo and the N1 call audio bug hasn’t been fully fixed. But if you were happy with the previous RCs/Nightlies on your device, there is no reason not to update to this one.
That being said, this is the most stable version of CyanogenMod 7 to date and will probably be the last RC before the final rolls around. The most notable new fixes are on the tablet side of devices. The Nook Color, for example, now has working hardware acceleration. Because of these fixes, many of them are receiving their first RC. There was also a big fix from AOSP for EGL issues, which is why all devices bumped to RC4 from RC3.
Feel free to grab CM7-RC4 (or RC3.14159265358979323846264338327 as we call it internally) from ROM Manager, our forums, or our mirror network if you prefer manual downloads.

Are there any major issues in RC4 that should make me hesitate to move up from Nookie Froyo to CM7?
Does the internal media partition work properly on this ROM?

Only issue I had was that I had to manually install google apps to get the market working.
Other than that- I miss the Tablet Tweaks.

Yes.

Nightly over nightly gave me no problems.
You might be fine.
Worst case is that you would have to boot into recovery to re-flash the rom and wipe data and cache, so just make sure to back up your current rom.

The issue was that you couldn't actually sleep the device... death sleep or something in the kernel and the nook color. Basically this means the device was always on and using about 2% of the battery per hour even while "off". That pretty much means it can't go on the wifes NC.

quick question from someone who's never messed with nightlys before my nook...why would I install this instead of nightly build 32? I'm guessing the RC4 would be just a really good nightly build that they feel is ready for release, yes?
Edit: I just noticed that the RC4 was just posted, so I think what I said is basically right.
Another edit (sorry): also, can someone tell me what clearing the cache does (or doesn't do if you decide not to do it) when you switch or update roms?

The cache consists entirely of files that can be thrown away as they get regenerated by apps as needed. When you upgrade your ROM it's recommended you clear the cache so that the system and its apps don't get confused by cached files that represent scenarios that are not relevant to the ROM you're running.

I would really like to know if this is fixed in the RC release too.
Just flashed it to my NC. I went back to Zeam launcher just becuase it's what I was using on Nookie Froyo and I had all the settings & shortcuts backed up already. I also added Button Savior for those times when the status bar buttons are hidden. I really like the "lens" lock screen as it's much more convenient to swipe down on a 7" screen than across.
So far I haven't run into anything that doesn't work. Titanium Backups of my user apps went in quite happily. My Angry Birds can rest easy, their hard work has not been in vain
The only hitch so far - my Titanium restore of Thumb Keyboard did not work as expected. Under input settings, the checkmark refused to go on. I re-installed from the Market, enabled it successfully, and then restored the data only from Titanium.
Hey All,
I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm tired of the version 2.1 stock ROM for the Sprint Hero. Even when its rooted and I clean out all the bloatware its still sluggish, buggy, and it has lately been aggravating me to no end. I want a nice lightweight ROM that has everything working (radio, wifi, data, etc.) but I don't want the HTC Sense UI if possible. Also, if it could have built in wifi tether (because all the apps I've used on the stock ROM tend to lock up or reboot the device) that would be great. Also, Apps2SD would also be nice but not a requirement.
Can someone recommend a good one?
Thanks in advance!

you are posting in the way wrong section this would have been better suited in general or Q&A
but my recommendation for you would be CM7 the official release for the HeroC, its stock android with some flavor. good battery life, apps2sd supported via built in manager (added in 2.2). built in tethering in the device settings menu (AOSP 2.3 feature) and last but not least it's AOSP based so SenseUI is nowhere to be found
I have tried all and in my mind the fastest has been hero deck. I even turned down my MHz to 691 when I use to have it at 768.

Deck's rom is fast....No doubt, but.....if you're looking for a blend of speed and stability I'd listen to ThoughtlessKyle and go with CM7. That is what I put back on my Hero for my son to use.

I'll definitely look into both ROMs. Thanks for the help!
My stock rom ran into issues the other day. Force close loop on senseui or something. Basically required a factory reset so while I was at it I decided to put a new rom on. I went with CM7. Had done a bunch of reading in the past and everyone was using CM6 then. Its nice. The one thing I didnt like is the voicemail. Getting it setup to download my voicemails to the phone was kinda a pain and the annoying texts from 9016 get old quick. Not sure why there is no solution for this. And running a separate program to block messages from 9016 isnt really a solution in my opinion.
I hear that deck rom has voicemail working with no additional installation/config necessary and none of the 9016 text messages so I plan to give it a try.
Hiya,
I'm considering whether to use a JVU or ICS rom. By looking around, I've seen many threads talking about how great ICS has with new features and so on, so this is probably a big plus point. However, I'm just wondering if there are still unresolved issues with ICS, it being based on an unofficial rom?
I know a while ago CM/MIUI were considered development roms, and not stable releases. Does this still hold true? Also, are there any features which ICS roms still have been unable to implement vs stock JVU? (eg tethering, gps, camera and so on).
Thanks!
If you want all features and stable rom then its recommended to use jvu.
Ics is very good but you have to sacrifice some features like video calling and touchwiz features. I haven't experienced any problems yet. Camera GPS tethering etc work fine on ics. I would recommend AOKP or CM9
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk
I also want to know the same issue before I move to ICS.
What is main benefit of ICS Roms even though many features are not functional like GB Roms ?
If you want a completely functional ROM (all features are working), then you better go for JVU since in ICS some features like video call and other minor things here and there are not working. Also, they're not based on unofficial release, most of them are based on google's releases (AOSP) which are official in a way or another, just not from the phone manufacturer themselves.
Personally i found ICS ROMs better due to the overall user experience, and they're smoother on the long run as compared to other JVU ROMs i've been using.
My advice is that if you don't really mind sacrificing minor features like video call (which most people don't really use anyway), go for ICS ROM! A lot of them got the tethering working alr. Gps, wifi, and other essentials are confirmed working perfectly

My understanding is that because it's not from Samsung, the ICS roms had to rewrite the drivers for hardware components like gps, camera or stuff like that from scratch, which is why there may be stuff not working.
I'm ok with no video call (since i've never used it), but are there any other features missing? Or are the minor things like random FC, or some small things just don't work properly. I find things like that somewhat annoying, so I'd rather stick with JVU if that's the case
Stuffs like random FCs and other not working minor things really depends on the ROMs. So far i found no random FCs apart from the camera which is the past anw (they fixed the stock ICS camera issue alr). If the devs or the bug reports never really mention any FCs, there's a high chance that you'll get a very smooth ROM (maybe there're things that are not working properly but chances are you won't realize it )
Also, most of the people who complained in the threads and bugreports never really followed the installation instructions properly which leads to their 'not supposed to be there bugs' coming to the phones.
By now most of the features of the ICS ROMs are working alr (obviously excluding those alpha and beta releases). The minor issues that you'll most likely get are with apps compatibility tho, a lot of the apps in the market are still not fully supporting ICS, so yeah.
My advice is that just follow the devs instructions thoroughly and you'll get a 95% chance of not encountering any problems with the ROMs . Don't blame me tho if you found troubles alr with your first ICS ROM later (if you decided to try it out )
How's battery life compared to stock roms? I think ICS roms usually don't last as long right? Any idea what a rough % amount less it lasts? (eg 20% shorter batt life or something)
If I have to give a percentage, abt <=10% less than the stock GB ROMs on average, tho mostly it depends on your kernel and usage.
The correct governor, kernel, and settings will be 50% (from my pov) of the deciding factor whether your battery lasts or not. Coz sometimes my battery actually lasts longer than when on stock GB ROMs. Personally I don't really like the stock ROM since they don't really offer me a good battery life considering the performance and free memory they've been giving me.
Personally I just started to try a bunch of different roms. For me the no1 priority is the ROM has to be stable. No FC, as little lag as possible and no random restarts. The ICS-roms I used had more problems than the Gingerbread-ROMS, allthough the speed in the latest ICS-ROMS is very good.
I'm currently still using Mintberry. The moment I go to ICS will depend on when Mintberry goes ICS. If it ever does, that is. I love the look&feel of ICS, but will not trade in stabillity for looks.
Both ICSSGS 4.2 and Dark Knight 3 are stable, everything ive used seems to work, even skype, so that ticks video calling as-well.

Does the fm radio work on the roms you mention? Without fm no ics for me...
DPI ISSUE
I recently flashed w/ ICS slim 2.8.
I observed that my Screen resolution is altered to DPI 182, meaning got bigger than 480x800 now.
Some Apps, such as IGO, have no suitable resolution for the new screen size.
I wanted to change to DPI 240 hoping to return to 480x800 but it crashed..
Keep in your mind that some apps are not running in ICS Roms..

This, you have to use spirit FM. under settings set regional band to your region and set audion to -galasys ALSA/ICS.
Make sure you dont just quit the app either, you need to press the power button for the app in the bottom right corner everytime you leave it.
I've tried flashing ICSSGS, just a couple of features that stock has that I was wondering if ICS had some equivalent:
Is there a mod somewhere to show battery % instead of the battery icon on the top right?
Is there a quick way to toggle vibrate/sound? Stock had an option from the lockscreen, and also the pulldown notification menu
Is there some special procedure to set ringtones/alarm as music files? I seem to only see system sounds when I try to change it
Thanks!
Widgetsoid in market/play store gives ability to add widget into notification bar with toggles for what ever you want. You just need to set it up right.
I asked about the battery percentage display and eventually found the link myself. Will find it for you and post it in a moment

Thanks friend i really apreciate this new
Don't install now. It is full of bugs for me.... (not a clean install, update from 10.1 nightly build).
Here is the bugs list I am having for now.
1, Play Store can't connect
2, Google Map won't able detect my position (GPS and wifi turn on already)
3, All my 3D games can't run at all (Turbo, Blitz Brigade)
4, Some of my downloaded apps disappear after updated including Goggle and Google+ etc.
5, Google Now's card disappear.. (maybe it is just I dunno where is it)
Goodies
1, surprise that MHL works on portrait (720P only and it still won't work on landscape mode)
2, newly added powerful camera apps Focal (but none of the advance function seems to work for now)
3, new google search.. you can define where do you want to search.. (don't find it useful for now....maybe will be better after I get used to it)
4, some new menu on setting.. like buttons, color calibration etc... (no idea what will it helps me... so I just ignores it..)
5, new image editing tools on gallery.. really nice.. If it will include some more filter like area blur etc, I will consider to uninstall all other 3rd party image processing apps.
I just play with it for a few hrs. and I am using 14 Aug nightly build. Hope it helps.. I will keep post it if I found any errors and goodies. Thanks

OK... The problem of missing apps, google now's card and google map positioning has been resolve by re-install(flash) the newest version of gapps + remove and add my gmail account again. But all other problem remains.

Ey Dudes, they are the first nightlies. Its important that it can boot, after it can boot cm team will fix bugs etc ... and then we have stable

so, if there is nightlies can we assume it will have a stable version in the future, or it could never reach the stable version ? i mean, there are 10.1 nightlies after stable version that probably wont reach a new stable 10.1 version , right ?

Yes, we will have a CM 10.2 stable version in the future, I read in Cyanogenmod that the final stable release of CM 10.1 will be 10.1.3:

Yeah right, just warn somebody who want to install if it is their primary phone.
1st of all it can boot and all the other normal phone function works. (wifi, 3G, SMS, whatsapp, call out and call in etc.)
uninstall and flash the gapps 1st and re-install those apps that didn't run seems work on most cases. That's also what I did when I face apps problems on this nightly... ie.. clean install might be a good idea, I just dun want to lose anything from clean install.
But honestly...from the user side, there is nothing really special between 4.22 (CM10.1) and 4.3(CM10.2). Personally, if I know the difference is not much, I will stay with 4.22 from now.
Thanks,
Mike

In ways of the UI, no there is not much different, however 4.3 changes are more "under the hood" in general it Should require the use of less resources which would free up more Ram, it should have a smoother UI and feel snappier as well as handling Games better, However in the stages of nightlies nobody can be sure whether it will show/feel any different to 4.2.2, Nightlies are more about "Bragging Rights" until they become more stable.
On my Nexus7 running stock 4.3 i have noticed a difference from when it was on 4.2.2, however that's stock to stock and Official 4.3, however hopefully when the stable version of 4.3 is released we should then hopefully be getting confirmation of our device receiving Nightlies of Key Lime Pie :3
It's more then capable of running it!

But opengl es3.0 is a update in android 4.3 but tegra 3 don't support 3.0 and opengl is important for gaming and makes the phone smoother, our phone is not smoother on 4,3 i think

Thanks for let me know about it, I dunno if there is any "under the hood" between 4.22 and 4.3. My sister is using Nexus 4, but I dun really tell the differences. It is good to know Nexus 7 will perform better in 4.3, coz' it is also using Tegra 3. I am also looking forward if CM can provide Key Lime Pie to our 4x HD while google mentioned 5.0 can be good even on those 2.3 generation device. Sometimes I found our device is just lack of RAM to have this nice processor, but heat problem is still the main concern on our device. It runs super slow when it is hot, not even mention about the battery life and charging problems.
As I said from my previous msg. This phone is nice on its price tag, but it has some technical problems, but I still like about it.
Sorry I think I was out of the topic. OK now I get back to it. For now, (my nightly build is up to-day) it is still very unstable. A lot of apps get stuck and ask for stop(terminate) even for the UI and Chrome. Response is worse than 10.1. As it is a nightly, I am not complaining. I just want to warn the ppl try to use it as primary and list my opinion.

As I know supporting something on a OS level means they have api (talk to hardware) for it. It is nothing about the smoothness.
You can think like opengl es3.0 has more function on it but if the apps dun use it, it has nothing to do with it. It is not like anti-alias that it can override on it.
the mean of "under the hood' is more like it has better code or use less ram to provide better overall performance.
Hope I am not wrong.

My Google account is not working anymore. I tried to flash new gapps, remove Google account from system. But nothing seems to work. Play Store, Gmail and gtalk dont connect. What I have to do to fix this?
I was using CM10.1 and update to cm10.2 using cm updater.
Ty!

Gapps are not compatible is all, nothing too major bro, have a googl search for some gapps for 4.3 or CM10.2, you can find minimal ones i'm sure, then simply flash them through your current recovery and bingo! However 10.2 is still buggy.. You sure you want to be on it? :s
Here's what I did and haven't had any issues:
- backup
- flash CM 10.2
- boot
- notice play store not working, apps that use Google maps missing
- flash new gapps from goo.im
- boot
- everything working as before

I think that I've downloaded the incorrect package. Can you give me the link of the package you have used?
I'm flashing this: http://goo.im/gapps/gapps-jb-20130813-signed.zip

Yes, that's the one.
Slight correction, however. I just noticed Play Store and YouTube not working. I cleared data for Google Services Framework and removed/added my Google account and they're both working again.
CM 10.2 Aug. 17 runs amazingly well... Camera flash lag is fixed, Titanium backup still gives a parsing error when reinstalling apps from backup. Oddly the draStic DS emulator closes when trying to switch screens.. And Need for Speed for Speed Most Wanted stops right before the title screen, FF III work surprisingly but not the others still haha. Otherwise it is handling itself quite well even on the 2.5.3 Prime Kernel that is out temporarily for it. I'm sure it will be ironed out. Only difference is just the Gles 1.1 picking up more points on the fps and a little boost of the score. I do like the RGB color options and the vibration strength option. The other CM 10.2 Roms are problematic for me.. So far Team CM is on-point. Much props to you Penguin449 for that Kernel post.
