Cyanogen Mod 6 Final?

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

Dude there's been a ton of major changes since r c 1. Like serious major additions.

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?

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.

[Q] nookiecomb or nightly? Why?

I know that this has been asked before. Now that the two builds have similar features. Which one is better? Which is more stable? What feature did I missed?
-nookie has bt
-nightly has sleep of death fixed
-both has dsp and flash
-both can run most apps.
-both has button in notification bar
Which one are people using and why? I am using nookie right now and may want to change to nightly.

I think the nightly are better

Marshmallow update for Axon pro released

ZTE has released the marshmallow update for this beast. How's the update coming along for everyone so far?
The new update adds stock android features with little to no skinning.
Known issues/changes
•Some users are reporting stock launcher crashes, the problem can be alleviated by using a different launcher.
•Dolby Sound has gone missing, evidence provided by Arsenic53 suggest ZTE done goofed and accidentally removed it.
•The quick settings panel is now Dark and Transparent (very classy)
•Average RAM usage has gone up considerably due to system apps being badly optimized...or maybe they're just being rebellious?
•Bootloader still locked
•Battery drains quicker.
•Nice new booting screen
•Annoying WIFI calling issue has been resolved.
•Some users have reported lag even during the booting process.
•A user has reported that He/She cannot see the screen on some occasions especially when charging.
•The lockscreen is now closer to the stock version. The dialer shortcut has been replaced with a Google now voice function and the annoying "# more notifications" thing has been removed.
•Bloatware app "rockmyrun" can no longer be disabled.
P.S someone please link zte usa's twitter to this thread so they can go over it. Leave a reply so i can remove this message.

Taking forever to download...

Dolby atmos app is missing and the app drawer seems to be the old app drawer itself.hope the new marshmallow type app drawer is crashing.slight lag here and there and does doze feature in this update I can't find any setting menu for it.

The doze feature doesnt come with a dedicated settings tab. if you want to choose which apps get dozed and which dont, go to apps(settings) click the gear and click battery optimization; from there you can white list certain apps from doze (I recommend greenify if you want doze to activate in just a few minutes as opposed to an hour.)

This is what I got when I inquired about Dolby sound. Maybe they will release an update to add it back soon.

Help with lockscreen / screen off tweak

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.

I always ran into some kind of errors/problems when trying to use Pixel Experience on my previous Moto G5 Plus - issues such as camera would crash sometimes, or, some things not working properly.
Are you really able to use the ROM with this (G5S Plus) and not having any crashing, missing features, or other problems when using for more than a couple weeks? If so, that's great news. I miss having a phone with PROBLEM FREE Custom ROMs (My Galaxy S3 usually had Custom ROMs available with ZERO problems).

PE 8.1 or 9.0?
When screen is off, does "CHOP CHOP" turn on flashlight as it should?
Does your screen change color at night? "Night Mode", less "blue light" for better sleeping if you look at your screen at night.
System UI Tuner is working fine?
These days I seem to be unable to find *ANY* ROM without multiple problems reported by users in the discussion threads - such a sad situation.
I am on STOCK, but, I really want to try this GCam 6.1 for "Night Sight", but stock ROM won't work because it's not 64 bits

Hi there, I tried MGC_6.1.021_Mido_Nightfix.apk and after taking a shot there is notification "Processing HDR+" that
never goes away even though the photo is ready to be viewed at the gallery. I'm also running PixelExperience Pie,
any recommendation as far of the most recent apk that works the best for the G5S Plus?
