The old thread filled with sparse reports of Cyanogen Nightly release experiences has gotten old in the tooth. As we approach the release of 6.1.0, I feel it necessary to start fresh and record configurations (dates, kernel's, etc) with details that have the potential to benefit us all.
I am currently running the #169 nightly and an underclocked kernel (shooting for battery life at the moment), and have run into no stability issues thus far. This includes use of both wireless and bluetooth features.
Please reply with your positive or negative take on CM nightlies for the Incredible Build #100 or newer. Thank you!
Anecdotal Reports for 169:
-Video camera functions, Infinite focus only
-LEDs function as expected. Please remember Pule under your audio settings
-Stock kernel performs VERY well, however invisibleKs may improve your mileage

Can you verify that the built in wifi tethering works (using adrenylynes kernel)? if that doesn't, what about the wifi tethering app, and if it works, what version are you running, pre9?
I ran nightly 9/19 starting last night until now. The email FC problem seemed fixed from the 6.0.2 but i would get random restarts and incredilight would FC alot.
Cant wait for 6.1
i'd recommend using the HTC flashlight apk.. it works without the sense framework (works with cm6).
you can grab it from the themes/apps forum.

Unless I found the wrong post, the com.htc.flashlight.apk that was ported over from the Desire 2.2 Rom does not use the LEDs, but uses the screen instead. That is pretty gay.

I am on 9/19 and I'm happy to announce that my Gallery and Music Player can detect pictures and music on BOTH the eMMC and microSD.
However, Gallery still doesn't set pictures as wallpaper.
Running King's kernel but about to switch to Adrynalyne's new Battery Saver kernel.

I am using the 9/19 version. With adrenylynes kernel the built in wifi does not work.....the pre9 does work. I just tried this kernel to see if it worked or not.....it does not allow adb wireless to work, so I went back to Koush's stock kernel. I have not had any problems running the stock kernel and my battery life is quite good.

Gallery lets me set as wallpaper on 9/20... but some dark ones (black wood) look like they're all black.
Does anyone know when 6.1 will be released? I can't wait to be able to hold the back button and close the app.
I can confirm that wifi-tether (packaged and pre-9) both function as expected. No reboots overnight. Uptime of 21 hours, wifi and bluetooth on and off, mostly the former. Installing 9/20, no wipe.
i was running the 9/15 nightly for a few days with minimum apps to test stability. still had the "temp drop" problem on both incoming and outgoing calls. battery life was abysmal (8-10 hours max, light usage...something was keeping my cell standby in the same percentage as display usage and chewing up battery).
last night i got several freezes, reboots, and two battery pulls. so now i'm on 9/20 nightly. so far so good for stability, but already down 20% 2 hours after unplugging. something isn't letting my phone sleep; any idea what it might be, or how to find out? i'm running relatively few apps at the moment, but see no performance differences to when i had a ****-ton of apps/widgets running.
edit: emmc still doesn't mount in windows. shows up as 660 MB according to the OS's "SD Card and phone storage", but all the Gee Bee's are being reported as 6.6 GB under astro.

Are you using the most recent Trillian beta? If so, set it to battery saver mode or it will drain the crap out of your battery. The polling frequency on the regular mode is too frequent.

This.
Started with 6.0.2, upgraded to 9/20 nightly with no wipe. I've previously tried KK, CM6's stock kernel, and adrynalyne's AOSP kernel. Of the four, this newest undervolted kernel is performing like an absolute champ. Tethering (both built-in and pre9) is working, and I am having none of the CDMA signal attenuation issues while also using the WiFi radio that I previously had.
Somebody is getting laid for this.

sounds awesome, I am installing latest now and will follow suit.
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 second this, i notice it drains the battery pretty fast when im not using it. not really sure what it is doing. its not like its connected to the internet or doing something productive for the battery drain.

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.

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.

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.....
Curious I am, what is everyone's experiences with battery life on their NC using CM7 or any other flavor of root? I charged to 100% and have used it moderately, maybe 2 or 3 hours of constant use spread out over 1d 25min and some odd seconds and I'm at 32% battery. This use includes surfing, browsing fliki HD, and email.
Does that sound about right, better, or worse? Don't get me wrong, I am not expecting 3 days worth of battery life with heavy use, but as I've had my NC less than a week, I'm just curious as to what to expect as far as battery life.
Thanks!

Sounds about right, what version of cm7? Ive been moderatley using it for the past 2 days, streaming pandora, playing angry birds rio, and facebooking.
What about a OC?
lol no lie my NC is at 32% battery to
Hrm. Either 31, or 32 I forget which. No, no OC, haven't found a need for it yet. And yeah, did the Pandora thing + Angry Birds as well. Haven't had any issues with my version of CM7 yet, so I figured I'd hold out on updating + installing to internal memory for a 'stable' release. I say 'stable' release only because even though CM7 is in RC's its plenty stable for me.
yea im running the RC and it seems the Battery life has gone way up for me.
Cool, thanks for the insight. Gives me even more to look forward to.
Been running CM7 RC4 with the OC Kernel @ 1.1Ghz off bootable SD and battery life has been very good by my book...now keep in mind, my reference point is my Droid (overclocked to 1.25Ghz), and now my Droid X (overclocked to 1.3 Ghz), both would be down to 30-40% through the course of a typical day). The NC obviously has a bigger battery, but my goal is to root 30 of these and use them as a textbook replacement/tablet pc as a pilot in our school's language art's department. They charge fast so as long as they get a day out of heavy use and can be charge overnight they are worth every penny.
i don't know why, but my nook likes to start apps on its own. Not sure how to do that. there are like a dozen apps open and i am constantly in app killer to save batt.
oh yeah, is there a wway to prevent apps from auo-launching??

- surfing internet.

And chances are, once the bugs are worked out of CM7 so that battery drain is corrected and it correctly enters a sleep state, I'm sure it can/will.
Well, I actually meant hours with screen on while playing/surfing net. But yea, sleep mode is essential too.

8-10%/hr running, 2%/hr with the display off if wifi is enabled on CM7. So yes, it easily meets your requirements.

Not sure if you read what the person below you posted, but I'll just say it here...Android has a built in task manager and using a task killer actually can make your device run slower and battery life much worse. I've had first hand experience with this with my droid.

CM7 RC4 Battery Life: "Just the facts, ma'am."
I can charge my Nook Color to 100%. Then reboot. Then immediately turn the screen off and let the device lay untouched for 24 hours. After 24 hours of no-touching I find my battery at 67%. I'll note that the wireless connection is not active upon unlocking the screen. It takes maybe 10-20 seconds for the wireless to reconnect. I have never, ever reset my battery statistics.
I don't have much installed on-top of CM7 RC4:
- Adobe Reader
- Google Finance
- Firefox
- Gmail
- Google maps
- NPR News
- Pandora
- Google Reader
- Rockplayer Lite
- Clockwork Mod ROM Manager
- Winamp
- Youtube
If any background process was started on the initial boot, I had nothing to do with it. That is, the process must have started automagically. I do not kill processes or applications. If I suspect something's gone badly then I always reboot to recover.
Editorial: I *-love-* CM7 RC4. For me it's stable, fast, movies play, Youtube works, etc, etc, etc. I likely would have re-gifted my Nook Color if not for CM7. I very much dislike my iPad. A lucky niece or nephew is going to be surprised with their next birthday present. ;-)

I am on N95, stock kernel, and finally have great battery life. Try using cpuspy and a paid install of system panel to find the cause of your battery drain. I see almost no battery drain when the screen is off and have about 50% deep sleep with an up time of 120 hours.

I upgraded to n100 through Rom Manager, kept the stock kernel instead of using the OC'd kernel. When Rom Manager rebooted I was at 56%, I put it to sleep and have been periodically waking it to check the battery. Two hours later I'm still at 56%! Now since I changed the ROM version and the kernel, I'm not sure which one was to blame, but at this point, I'm leaving well enough alone.
edit:
Question: Say I wanted to go backwards to N95 from N100 --- would I just flash the N95 zip and then the gapps zip like a normal flash? Not that I want to right now because everything is fine, but I was just curious.
I´ve noticed a few bugs, problems in this new version of ICS. If anyone knows how to solve them I would appreciate your advice
So, here is what´s bugging me:
1. Screen sometimes go greenish for a second or two when there is a lot of apps running and when I quickly turn off and turn on the screen (it happens when the screen goes on, that moment)
2. Overclocking seems very unstable!! ..when I OC my phone (with NStools) and do some things..after a while, it freezes and reboots. On RC3.1 version I could overclock to 1.46GHz and play games and it was very stable!
(I think they changed voltage and because of that it´s unstable, but I´m not sure)
3. When system reboots (after crash), it reboots in clock work mode -.-" ..why can´t it reboot normally, into system?
4. It´s not really a problem but, does anyone know how to remove unnecessary home screens or add them back? Is it possible?
5. .apk files can´t be sent trough bluetooth .. (message: This Bluetooth device or computer cannot process files of this type. )
Other than that I would say this version is almost perfect, flash works in browser, effects in camera, USB mass storage ..works very well.
I was on Doc´s ICS teamhackungs based rom before this one (and after RC3.1 )..and I noticed that battery life was terrible even with juice saver apps running.
I hope this one is better.
Actually RC4 has been pulled because of a Wifi issue
I flashed it last night before it was pulled, I flashed over Onecosmics 2.11 no wipe, and my wifi its working normal.

2. Overclocking seems very unstable!! ..when I OC my phone (with NStools) and do some things..after a while, it freezes and reboots. On RC3.1 version I could overclock to 1.46GHz and play games and it was very stable!
(I think they changed voltage and because of that it´s unstable, but I´m not sure)

3. When system reboots (after crash), it reboots in clock work mode -.-" ..why can´t it reboot normally, into system?

I don't think it is possible since it is ASOP rom

Other than that I would say this version is almost perfect, flash works in browser, effects in camera, USB mass storage ..works very well.
I was on Doc´s ICS teamhackungs based rom before this one (and after RC3.1 )..and I noticed that battery life was terrible even with juice saver apps running.
I hope this one is better.

It is a great rom, I hope they can fix those minor issues.
Battery life for me has been just OK on 2.11, I have to give RC4 the 3 charge cycles before any judgement.
I've just noticed that battery life was reduced constantly in last 3 days, now battery doesn't last 12 hours, but it's the first time that happens!

Battery degradation due to age ?

Actually RC4 has been pulled because of a Wifi issue
I flashed it last night before it was pulled, I flashed over Onecosmics 2.11 no wipe, and my wifi its working normal.
Mine does it too

Yes, so did I ..just before they pulled I downloaded the rom...I was on Doc´s ICS..but I flashed with Odin JVT 2.3.5. GB ..rooted with CF-root and then in CWM flashed RC4 ..my wi-fi was having problems but when I updated WiFix manager it was ok then.
Yea, I couldn´t agree more, if they fix those issues it could be it..the final version (without any bugs). Lets hope they do it soon so we don´t have to wait too long
btw. I was thinking, could we solve these or at least some this issues by flashing another kernel??
@Giuku :I´ve noticed that too..even though I´m not OC now it still drains a lot..or my battery become weak (It´s 1year old) . But that is not without a reason..I did put her to her limits (and my phone) by playing games so much that my smartphone reached max temperature of 60°C and then cooling it in 1min to 30°C and less.
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!!!
Hey

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....)
