I've had RC1 since it came out and haven't updated since I never knew what was changed or added.
The official changelog doesn't list what was changed from version to version -- very annoying.
So... For anyone who is running CM6 Final, is there any benefit to updating from RC1? Any new features? Performance improvements? Anything worthwhile at all?
There is a lot of great stuff in there. Check out the change log. http://github.com/CyanogenMod/android_vendor_cyanogen/blob/froyo/CHANGELOG.mkdn I believe everything below "Common: Other camera enhancements - Cyanogen" has been added since RC1
Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
The best way in my opinion to keep up with changes is to either follow @cmsrc & all the various CM contributors in your twitter feeds or subscribe to Cyanogen's Github, twitter, and CM forum RSS feeds. I do both. I keep a folder in my Google Reader labeled "cyanogen" that keeps me pretty much up to date with whats going on.
To attempt to answer your question a couple things I think are different from RC1 to Stable would be the
RenderFX widget
restart into bootloader/recovery directly from the power button
obviously ADWLauncher with custom shortcuts & a few other goodies
exporting the XML from custom notifications started working
maybe the new power settings widget?
Touch to focus is the coolest new feature and it works beautifully.
Moving from RC1 means you'll see quite a few changes... most notable would be
1. True 720p video recording
2. Enhanced camera app with ISO settings and many more manual settings
3. Camera touch to focus
4. Ability to set custom trackball colors for apps notifications
5. Enhanced audio DSP (equalizer)
6. System-wide proxy settings

I love cyanogen and his mods, but wow I am also super annoyed with the dogdy changelog.

Does this mean Trackball Alert is not needed?
I've never used trackball alert but I would say it isn't needed anymore.
You can choose any color and blink rate for any notification.
It includes options for:
Succession
Pulse in order
Random Colors
Blend Notifications

Yeah I'd just like to know what they are and if they're features I'd use since the CM team isn't exactly the greatest at updating their changelog
Where is the option for recovery or bootloader from the power button?

Is there a difference between cm6 final and cm6.0.0 n1 rc3? I am currently running that and i do not have touch to focus in the camera app?

I never tried it on the rc3 either, but since i have upgraded to the CM6 final, I went to the camera, touched the screen to bring up the auto focus option on top right and switched to touch to focus.
Do you not have that option under rc3?

It's on the Nexus theme and apps board but if you have Rom Manager, it will link you directly to the updated CM6 final version.
So I got CM9 stable working on the Galaxy S - it's brilliant. But it's missing the torch app, and in the widget selection screen, the option to have a button for the LED flash is greyed out.
I have a Nexus S which, after updating to RC2 a few days ago, also is missing the torch. It originally had it in the nightly I was running previously. Is this some weird design decision by the CyanogenMod team? How can I get that functionality in the stable ROM?
EDIT: I am a moron. Feel free to delete this thread mods. Or leave it here as a testament to my stupidity. In my defence, I was installing it on a friend's Galaxy S... I was not aware the device didn't have an LED flash. :'(
lol
This beast is not for the faint of heart...proceed with caution! Neither I or xda forums are responsible for what you do to your device, so make a backup!
This is skyl1n3, originally made for the d4 by z4ch_skyl1n3. It contains beats, fully functioning inverted gnow, inverted gapps built in (no gapps needed), themed, oc'd, extra gov's and i/o scheduler, and it's fast and good on battery. It is an AOKP based rom. Included now are practically all the mods and tweaks from the original d4 version of this rom. Only difference between the 4 & 5 slot versions is an fps cap which I had to keep on the 4 slot version because it would not boot (tweak can affect stability).
v1.2 ***MUST BE ON SS3 TO INSTALL***
-support for 4 & 5 slot devices
-added camera & gallery 4.2
-added keyboard 4.2
-added CPU sleeper to maximize battery
-added back trebuchet
-added inverted gdrive, google+, google music, twitter
-added new alerts and ringtones
-updated gnow lib
Thanks & Shoutouts:
z4ch_skyl1n3 for creating this rom
sparkyman for helping me out and testing
jp1044
romdroidhacks
teamhaters & all devs out there, you know who you are...
kcm6969 for testing
Bionic_Bran for testing
To install:
-be on safestrap
-wipe data
-wipe dalvik
-format system in advanced
-install zip
(if updating from beta just wipe cache and dalvik)
Now for the goods....
Downloads & Screenshots
Going to flash this and try it out.

So some quick feedback, it could use a couple of more ring tones and delivery notification options. It customization is very good, almost overwhelming. The battery life so far seems to be better than the Axiom rom. The data doesn't seem to like bouncing back and forth between 3g and 4G like it does were I live. I am definitely interested to see how this rom grows.

Does webtop work? And what version is this? .232?
:droid:
Looks nice, but i noticed one thing on the screen shots. Where are the power widgets on the pull down bar? Didn't see anything.

No hdmi, so no webtop. Runs great on 232 leak.

I don't see why not, but have not tested so can't say for sure. Make a backup before you flash.

i seem to have encountered a bootloop. :/ i will fxz back to stock and go to .232 leak and try again
Flashed after going to .232 and works like a charm. Only issue I've seen this far is sometimes in text messages the text doesn't show as you type. Other than that, so far I'm loving it

An odd quirk I'm having is with Alarm Clock Plus. I test my alarm and it does the tones and speaks the time like it should, but in the morning when the alarm actually goes off all my phone does is vibrate. I've run the app on other ICS roms with no issues so not sure if it is just a compatibility issue with this rom or an oddity in the audio coding. Other than that, this rom has so many amazing settings choices. I could be tweaking this for so long it will help my crack flashing addiction
EDIT: The no sound issue for alarm only happens when I have the phone on the charging dock. I left it laying on the nightstand last night and the alarm did what it is supposed to this morning. It seems that under Setting > Dock > the audio isn't even able to be selected so that may be where the issue lies.
Also, now that I have ditched my D3 in favor of my Bionic, these are some other things I have found.
Seems to be some glitching in the screen rotation (ie. shrinks and then pops back when rotating.)
I have lost the phone function screen when on calls (ie. all I see is the notification bar)
Other than that, everything else is wonderful. Compared to the ICS issues I had on the D3, i'm loving having the bluetooth working clearly and camera function.
Thank you for porting this and for the original dev who put it together. Can't wait to see what you throw our way post Beta
EDIT: I'm starting feel like I'm the only one running this So, I've also found the Torch does not function, both in the notification icons and the power menu. I am also getting a battery drop abruptly from around 40 that goes down to 20. I have done a battery stat wipe and the run down and charge up, that's the only fix I can remember from my D1 days.
I've tried every time for the Bionic, and and this is by far the best rom. The only issue is the gallery forecloses when you try to crop a pic. Camera, camcorder, and panoramic works. I decided to replace this cam (4.2) with the stock (4.0) ICS camera and gallery. This rom is very stable, and fast. A lot of customizations with this rom. When I have more then 3 issues with a rom, I don't use it anymore. This rom, the only issue was the gallery.

I'm using it to. You're not the only one.. Lol. torch works for me, but I'm using the stock ICS camera and gallery. It didn't work for me when I was using the 4.2 camera. There's a setting for the battery 1% mod. I have a extended battery, which all rooms misread anyway. That's why it drops like that. Use the battery circle mod, it reads it better.

Thanks Furious, I'll check out the battery mod. I'm downloading the update now and see how the 4.2 camera/gallery behave for me.

I'm going to try this rom and I'll report back what I find.
*Edit* Ok, Rom installed and working fantastic. I was able to get wifi tether to work however, without encryption. Also, if you turn on and off wifi tether in numerous succession my phone crashed. I'm also experiencing a huge battery drop from 58% to 47% within 10 minutes after initial install of the rom. That's ok, I use the phone alot on wifi and lte. Thank you for this rom
I have the nexus 6 for a week after coming from nexus 5.
While opening apps or switching apps from recents the animations not smooth as on the nexus 5.
I tried many Roms and different kernels and all with the same problem. Also when I unlock my phone its stuttering.
Now I'm running the latest cm12 nightly,
Anyone know what cause the problem?

Drivi9ng teh display / pixels is problem. If it bugs you, try stock with stock kernel. Apparently it is not a problem there
I'm looking for ideas that are not "try gravitybox"
The goal is to fix the lockscreen coming up a second or two before the screen turns off.
Currently the lockscreen comes up just before the screen turns off.
Rom doesn't have any screen or lockscreen settings to tweak this.
Using SlimLP 5.1.1

Cosmetic issue, correct? You have answered your own question. CM and Nexus do not exhibit this behavior (don't know about the others). Gravitybox and likely a few other Xposed modules can indirectly fix it. What else is there to know?

Purely cosmetic yes
I'd run Gravitybox on the Nexus rom..
Since Slim is already modded more so I just don't want to load up the big suite for 1 feature & hope nothing else conflicts

A choice you'll have to make in absence of a fix from the rom maintainer. Be aware none of the GravityBox features are 'active' until you take action. Using lockscreen tweaks leave the remaining features inert.
