Similar to my thread based around CM 6.1 progress and reports on the latest nightlies, I present what should become a telling collection of anecdotal evidence.
Ruby 1.1.4 was released and many users are very satisfied with its performance. As 1.1.1 now appears old hat, and its original thread is waning and reads like War and Peace, please refer to this post for future observations. What I would like to see is:
1. Bugs encountered that are repeatable only after a full wipe
2. Glowing reviews and/or recommendations for bits some users are unfamiliar with
3. Odd errors that perhaps we can assist with (ie. known fix)
4. Chatter about the upcoming release of Ruby 1.2 for the Inc
I look forward to any and all suggestions, input, feedback, and all around camradery. Also, keep the flames to yourself

Well, thanks for the opportunity...
I have been using Ruby 1.1.4 as my daily driver for the past two weeks or so and find it to be perfect for my use. Although I have strayed to check out the latest and greatest, HD, Z, Feather, etc. I always come back to Ruby.
Everything works. I've added the popular mods, i.e. signal fix, etc., removed some apps that I don't like or use and I'm really happy with Ruby overall. Looking forward to 1.2.
Can't say the same for some of the vanilla apps like mail and gallery, but there are suitable replacements for those available via the market.
My thanks to the Ruby crew...

Seems the gapps link is down.
Is this a full build or just an update to 1.1.1?

Yea it's down, teamdouche doesn't have any gapps listed at the moment. A quick search I found a mirror but have not confirmed this is the same thing. Use if you like, otherwise wait for someone to provide a mirror.

Full build. Running stable so far, no noted issues.
I've been running 1.1.4 for a couple of days. I don't use Bluetooth very often, so I've only installed the RIL patch. Together with ADW Launcher I'm very happy with this ROM.
The only bug (or missing feature) I found is in regards to the Pattern lock. When I enable it, the unlock screen no longer shows up so I can't use the music controls. However, if I enable the PIN-base lock the unlock screen works just fine. In all Sense ROMs whenver I enable the Pattern lock the unlock (tabular) screen does not go away. I filed a bug at CC ROM's website. This seems like something trivial, so hopefully they'll get it in in the next release.
EDIT: You might want to add to the OP the url link for the RIL update, I've been using it and haven't experience any 3g issues.

As far as I know, it's less of a missing feature than a feature in itself. CM, ShadowROM, all the AOSPs I've tried have that "feature."
However, I too am annoyed by it xD But it seems intentional.
Where can I find the RIL patch?

Url is on my previous post...is the same for CM and Ruby. Has also been added to OP.
Nice to see my patch is still doing something for you guys. I wonder if they will ever release an official version again.
I almost feel like pulling down the code and compiling a version with the fixes in it...
Can we use the Gapps zip from 1. 1. 1....
How is GPS working in this version? I don't know if it was the RIL or 1.1.1 but I noticed that the cell triangulation (ie. the blue circle that pops up when you first open maps) broke somewhere along the way. Pinpointing GPS would work but it was very slow (takes at least a minute or more).
At first I didn't mind the wait but I realized it caused a lot of apps that require your location (Poynt, Where, etc.) to stop working.
Odd thing is on a clean install GPS pinpointing would always be almost instant but subsequent to that it would get slower and slower. Curious if anyone else is encountering the same.
I have three questions about 1.1.4:
Does EMMC work on Ruby? I mean like in gallery and music. Itt works on Cyanogen but now Shadowrom or inc does. Thats the biggest determining factor of my using Ruby.
is it possible to get the black vanilla messenger from Cyanogen?
Also, the black bar theme that Ruby has, gives you the HTC battery icon, however I prefer the vanilla android battery. Is it possible to make a theme from the changes I made in Cyanogen?
Also if you want EMMC to mount on windows, this fix was posted I dont know if it works on ruby, if you're brave you can give it a try:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/detail?id=2236
Ok. So im a little confused on the bluetooth issue. Is there a link to the fix or no?

I would suggest using the one posted in the 1.1.4 download link. The op in that link also suggested to use only 1.1.4 themes...meaning that if the 1.1.1 you were using has not been ported over to 1.1.4 don't try to install it.

I've had the 1.1.4 (clean install) for 4-5 days, so hard to tell, but on Tuesday I used the GPS with Maps for about an hour and it worked great. I'll report in a few weeks if I ever use the GPS again.

EMMC works on Ruby. However, it seems that you can only mounted on a Mac, not on a PC. I connected the phone to my PC at work and it only recoginized the SD card. However, when I connected it to my Macbook it detected both EMMC and SD card.
By "black vanilla messager" you are referring to the Text Messaging app or the Google Talk? If you are talking about text messaging, there is a setting that allows you to change the background to black. In regards to the themes, I would suggest you stick with the themes made for 1.1.4 (as in the download link). If you want specific changes to the them the OP suggested contacting the created of the specif theme you are interested in.

Downloading and flashing now! thanks allready!
it works? I tried to get it working the other day and couldn't. either way thank you very very much!!!
same here, great work!
Thanks, giving it a try now
Wow,
Installing as we speak.
I will get back on this...
Well it's running fine for now Great work
MArket is broken, but as you stated it's a beta, maybe you could team up with other adam developers (josh ) to make this one beast of a CM7
Greetz,
couldn't get it to work properly..
First bootloop, then when it booted everything FC'ed..
After another reboot and wipe I could't get past the touch android to begin screen..
Very strange..
I got it booted...
Can't get the market to work though. A good start but needs work before it'd be a daily driver for me. I'll probably go back to vegan soon.
this is sweet, going to try this tomorrow =)
hi thx for your input in our life with Adam
It booted for me after wiping data and cash
First it seemed to be bit glichy and slow with response...
the design with Honey comb like bar is very nice
but WiFi could not connect to my router and i try and try and try and try
and reboot and try
and change permissions on router and try
and no go for me
as for included aps Terminal emulation FC. on me
hym
Looking forward for next version
Now back on Beast
regards
Just installed to take a look. Nice to see cm7 on the Adam. Got wifi going unlike others, but most applications would fc.
Thanks for starting this project.
Sent from my Adam LCD 3G using XDA App
Thanks a lot DJ_Steve.
Installed it on my PQi Wifi Adam and here are updates so far. ( Wiped data )
1. Firefox FC but installing it from SD card again and its working fine now
2. Market FC. Tried the Market trick ( clearing data on service, fc market and reboot) but didn't work
3. Installed Titanium backup from SD card apk. Works fine
4. Used Ti Backup to restore some apps like thumb keyboard and they work fine
5. Installed Dolphin Browser HD but it starts in portrait mode and I cannot click accept button.
6. I got a prompt on first boot to install some apps like facebook, gmail etc but they all failed with a FC on market.
So far the ROM runs really fast and working great. I need dig the PQi toggle app and install. I like the HC look and the smoothness of the ROM.
Kudos .. and Thanks ..
Will post after more testing.
Have you talk with mad-murdock about the changes you made to make it work? It would be best to get this included with the official builds.
That said, god job on this. Similar issues to arvi007 so far. Firefox and Market FC. Terminal Emulator causes a reboot. Red LED on the side of the Adam is on all of the time.
I'll keep playing and see what else I can come up with.
Crud, not long after I said this I rebooted and it died. Had to NVFlash to get it back.
Not seen most of those issues here. But their is bugs. Ill see if I cant build from source at a point soon

Yeah, getting quite a few Force Closes.
Fruit Ninja THD for example closes due to Webkit problems, you said you removed the stock browser, so these probably go hand in hand.
Dolphin HD also crashes for an unknown reason.

Great start, will definitely be following this, would be great to get a stable CM7 build on the Adam
Mostly Working
I have a PQ+Wifi adam and i got CM7 working using this build but when I did a shut down power off and try to power on again the device never boots. I have to debrick it. Otherwise besides the browser/Camera issues and a FC in gmail when opening a message with an attachment it was a great start towards a fully functional CM build
Edit:
Fixed the reboot problem by not using Clockwork Recovery. I wonder if this is related to the issue CW /CM has on the G2 were when you power it off it goes to recovery instead of completely turning off.
I somehow got the market working. However, Firefox does not work.
Being CM7 is there CIFS and TUN support? I really need something to let me access windows shares from my corporate network over VPN.
I should have tried it before I went back to Beast and got all comfy
Looking forward to using this, but will wait till the bugs get worked out. Enjoying Beast at the moment.
See Pon's thread for continued CM10 support.

Thanks.
Cyanogenmod 10 for the Droid Incredible - Unofficial
The CM team has officially dropped support for the Droid Incredible with the last supported release being CM7.
Credit
First, all credit goes to the following, I simply benefit from their work
Team Evervolv - Donate
Evervolv is responsible for keeping the device tree and a lot of the hardware drivers up to date, without them, we'd most likely have no roms.
Cyanogenmod - Donate
Cyanogenmod is responsible for all the features of the rom, without them we'd be stock with AOSP.
Stripped
Due to the increasing size of the system files to run JellyBean and Google apps and our limited system partition, some things have to be removed from the rom, otherwise things don't work, you blame me, you're sad, I'm sad, and no one wants that. Some things are also removed as I don't use them and removing them each time I flash a rom is a bother. That's the real reason I made this rom anyway. You should be able to replace almost anything that's been removed by installing it as a user app, adding it to your SD Card, or adding it to the rom before you flash it. If in doubt, ask.
AOSP ring tones, CM ring tones still exist
Apollo
The AOSP Music Player app - Play Music replaced this long ago imo
CM Wallpapers
DSP Manager
Live Wallpapers
OpenVPN
Non-English Dictionaries (Only matters if you're using the AOSP keyboard)
Rom Manager
Video Editor App
What doesn't work
Camcorder - not working on any Inc rom atm
Video Playback - Something in CM10 is causing it to break and trying to find out which piece is difficult
Other things? You tell me. I don't use the phone the same way you do, so something else could be broke.
Source Code
Can be found at my github here. If you want to build it yourself, feel free to tweak it, but please read the instructions, as at the time of this writing, there are many reverts to be made. I have them setup so they apply automatically when I repo sync using a shell script, you can do the same.
Downloads
* Note feel free to post a mirror if you like, buyer beware though.

cm-10-20120909-UNOFFICIAL-inc.zip
Updates include working mms and upstream commits from CM.
cm-10-20120901-UNOFFICIAL-inc.zip
Upstream commits include: SMS popup, variable lockscreen pattern size (up to 6x6), advanced phone settings from CM9, and audio over bluetooth should work (thanks to EV). Also, the toggle LED flashlight option in the notification drawer works now.
Third party camera apps don't work in this building unless using Tiny's kernel. incredikernel-jb-beta2.zip - 2.63 MB
cm-10-20120830-UNOFFICIAL-inc-stable.zip
Main changes over 8/28 are upstream commits and updates to the stock kernel
Google Apps
Latest Evervolv Gapps is recommended due to their smaller size.
Goo.im Gapps also work, but are larger and you will need to watch your system space when flashing these.
Flashing
Cyanogenmod is designed to not need wipes between flashes. While this generally holds true, I've found occasionally flashing does solve an error or two. If something doesn't work after a dirty flash, clean flash before you report the problem. The download will say if a flash is required, otherwise follow what was just said.
Issues
If you're having issues follow this list of steps.
Check that you're on the latest build, if not, get on it
If you dirty flashed, clean install
If it's an issue with voice search or Google now, check system space, if it's full, free some and reflash gapps
If it's an issue with an app, try a clean install of said app
If it still doesn't work, search the thread, does someone have the same issue?
If no one has the issue, get a logcat and post in the thread, don't PM me. Logcats should be uploaded to a paste website, not directly posted on the forum.
Run around in circles until I or someone else posts a solution to your problem. If you get tired, take a break, then try to solve it yourself, if you do, post the results!
Thanks again to Team Evervolv and Cyanogenmod for making this rom possible.
Enjoy.
Haven't tried this yet but it's nice to see that it has found the light of day out of the Q&A section. Best of luck with this ROM as I know myself and many others will be following it.
Thank you for making this. It's good to see the Inc keep up.
I've recently come to the decision that having a working camcorder is more important than having the latest and greatest shiny, so I'm back down to CM7 for the time being.
Thanks for your efforts in making this available, it's great to have choice and I was beginning to miss the CM customization. I'm running a slightly older build now, but it's running great for me, and I'll be sure to be updating it to this newest when I get a chance.
Glad to see this thread in the Dev section now! So far this ROM is running great for me. I'll be installing the new 8/30 build soon.
Thanks for everything Zimeron
Thank you for this! Also, for some reason I thought the initial post was especially well written so props for that as well.
8/30 Working Well
I am running the 8/30 version with Evervolv's gapps and incredikernel. No new issues that I can find (just still konwn issues with camera and video). I don't have anything bluetooth so I can't test that. I was running Albinoman's but missed the CM addons.
Did CM9 ever get flashlight working in the notification widget? It is greyed out on CM10.
thanks Zimeron
Okay, I have to ask... How doe this compare to Albinoman's Jellybean Beta 3?

Flashlight in the notification widget, never seen/used that before. I think I can get this turned on from some commits I saw today for other devices.
Anyone play words or scramble with friends while using this rom? It's a silly thing but I was wonder if you do, do you get updates when it's your turn?
It's really hit or miss on roms. Some ICS roms will notify, others will not.Evervolv's does not. I will flash anyways,just wondering.
Thanks for keeping this phone alive.
Any chance you could add in the offline voice dictation feature? I thought it was a standard feature of JB, but there's no ability to download the offline language pack in the voice search settings.

My bad! I should have tested it before posting haha. Your build fixed it actually. It didn't work on Albino's build, and I assumed it wouldn't work on this build either because it doesn't have the Offline Voice download setting. But I just tested it and it worked great! With no internet connection, I was able to dictate a text message
Loving this ROM!
On a side note, I just updated to 8-30 and noticed that I needed to reflash gapps after because my google program were missing. In the past with CM9, I didn't need to install gapps after a new nightly and relogin, etc. Is there any way to have it retain gapps when flashingover?

The script is there to maintain gapps, but I've found it to work randomly. I have flash it everytime to be safe, my brother never flashes it and never needs to on his Inc, no idea what's different, and it's not worth it to me to dig into it when it takes two seconds to queue another zip to flash with TWRP.
k sounds good. Not sure why, but 8-30 is running amazing and noticeably smoother than 8-28. I'm also using Tiny's JB kernel and it seems to be working great. Best ROM out there.
100% the best JB I've used thus far. Crazy smooth and responsive.

Tried to flash this but i'm getting an error about device build prop not matching requirements. I had a 312 rom on first, and flashed a 311 stock rom, but still get the error. My device is 311 by default.
Do i need to edit my build.prop? Even though my device shows as SGP311?
EDIT: Ah nevermind, i had the stock bootloader still installed. Doh!

Is root possible yet? I tried the supersu zip that was attached in op, but still needs the binary according to the supersu app. Do we need to adb push the binary?
Edit: Nevermind, just tried the latest supersu and works fine.
I can't get a restricted user to work for the life of me. All kinds of processes are force stopping and I couldn't pick trebuchet from the list on setup either, though I did manage to work around that with Apex eventually, though Apex kept crashing too.
I assume apps might have to support this (or at least launchers?) But core processes?
I did dirty flash so it's possible that has something to do with it.
Still digging around. I'll clean flash later to retry restricted users too.

Got this working on my xtz SGP311 seems really quick so far recovery plays nice, only real issues I've encountered is that the screen flickers black every now and then using the aosp browser and MX player pro doesn't work as android 4.3 isn't supported yet which has nothing to do with the rom.
WiFi and GPS seem to working used google maps to find a location and navigate there had no issues with those yet.
Definitely something different over the Sony ui and less cluttered just need the sony remote
Gonna have a play with it and see how I get on with it lots of options to play with hehe

I had a go at the open source IR by apache but had no luck getting it to work, but I'm not sure if I installed it right.
I'll have another play with GPS today as I've got more time and let you know I could have jumped the gun on this one lol. I quickly downloaded an app called GPS test and although it says the GPS is on it doesn't show anything else like coordinates or location I'll keep playing for now though.

Thanks a lot for throwing this together... everything seems to be working great, I'm impressed by focal.
I'm still struggling with is the absence of tablet UI (trying to hit the home softkey in landscape is impossible, so I've been forced to full!screen, which is working well), but it's a small price to pay for the jump from Sony's 4.1.2 to a functional 4.3 Rom.

Interesting. Out of interest, how do you use your tablet ? I'm just trying to work out if there is any link or difference - personally I thought the same, that tablet was good, until I used my Nexus 10... Then I was "sold" - tablet UI was sub-optimal. I tend to use the tablet with 2 hands - one holding it, another free across the top for use. I find keeping navigation to the centre more logical personally, and more ergonomic. It also keeps the notification tray at the top, consistent with the phone. At other times, I use the tablet as a "monitor" and type with a Bluetooth keyboard, where I do not interact with the touchscreen much (except at arm's length), and find phablet UI quite convenient. Moreso than I felt with tablet UI.
It's intriguing though. I am sure I can look at readding it some time, but I'm fairly busy so it will take a while. I noticed Sony seem to be moving to phablet UI for 4.2 as well though...
I hold mine on the sides and mostly interact with my thumbs, thus central on screen controls are hard to reach. But, to each his own. I also use Thumb Keyboard exclusively on my tablets, much more natural than trying to type with one hand holding with the other.
so yeah i finally got around to testing the GPS navigation and it just says "Searching for GPS" the whole time so confirmed its not working.
i also found a issue with the swipe to type on the AOSP keyboard as soon as i tried to use swiping it force closed the keyboard, not a big issue just thought id mention it.
i noticed you've done a couple of updates as well whats the best way to update the rom just flash as usual using the file in op?

Just like with CM nightlies, just flash the latest update right over whatever you have.
In rare cases other changes will be needed, maintainers will usually let you know in these cases.
I'm investigating GPS on 10.1 on the windy - it's proving to be a bit of a headscratcher, although it has many of the hallmarks of the same problem we had with the modem on mint (Xperia T) months ago. Unfortunately, we can't use the same fix/workaround we used on mint.
pulser, may want to check the CM10.1 thread for my SMD debugging patch, might give some useful info - although what I need to do is get a build environment together for stock kernels so I can apply that patch to .370 for comparison.
i hate to sound like a noob but i am still learning lol is it safe to just flash the updates with cwm or is it best to do it with the flash tool?
it seems like gps has got a lot of people scratching their heads at the moment but im sure with so many looking into it there is sure to be a solution soon
Edit: its OK I went ahead and flashed the update using cwm and it worked, I'm to impatient to wait lol but at least I've learned something
Updated to 10th August build
Will you continue to tweak now that official nightlies are out?
Official Cyanogenmod 10.2 Jellybean 4.3 nightlies available: http://get.cm/?device=p880

I know of that thread but it is about CM 10.1, we can use that thread changing it's title.
Very good, thanks for sharing
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
Sent from my LG-P880 using xda app-developers app
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

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.
