I haven't seen an updated thread for CM lately, so I figured I'll start one. I'm keeping this one updated myself with Cyanogen's format. :D

Developers:
cyanogen - http://twitter.com/cyanogen
codeworkx - http://twitter.com/codeworkx
dumdidum - http://twitter.com/dumdidum
coolya - http://twitter.com/coolya
finghin - http://twitter.com/finghin
eugene - http://twitter.com/eugene_373
and a lot more!

CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.2 (Froyo) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

Code:
#include <std_disclaimer.h>
/*
 * Your warranty is now void.
 *
 * I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards,
 * thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed. Please
 * do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.
 */

This is an AOSP-based build with extra contributions from many people which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Visit the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes and features!

All source code is available at http://github.com/codeworkx! Send pull requests with your changes!


INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM6 to your Vibrant (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager.
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Flash the INITIAL kernel via ODIN.
4. WIPE.
5. Install the ROM.
6. [OPTIONAL] Install the Google add-on.
7. [OPTIONAL] Install Eugene's kernel.
8. [OPTIONAL] Install latest su binary.

- Upgrading from earlier CM6?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)

HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
- Was it a hard reboot? Get me the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
- Was it a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get me the full output.
- Pastebin links preferred
- Please use the [URL="http://code.google.com/p/samsung-gt-i9000-cyanogenmod/issues/list]issue tracker[/URL] whenever possible!

Unfortunately I'm having wake issues with Eugene's kernel, and when I tried to ODIN the original kernel, I can't boot. I would've used logcat to check out what's happening, but for some very very strange reason, adb.exe disappeared from my sdk directory. Also, my JDK is f***ed up for some reason too (though it appears to be caused by Oracle purchasing Sun and changing the company name references in the JDK from Sun to Oracle... I have old Sun version 17 installed and then another later version under the Oracle branding).

Though I was surprised to see my phone running CyanogenMod pretty stable (until it crashes while sleeping), I can't use this anymore... I missed a few important calls. I even tried setting the CPU frequency setting to 200-1000 Mhz like eugene suggested, but that doesn't fix the problem.

I love AOSP Android, especially CyanogenMod. I'm so desperate for a non-Samsung environment that if I could use a plain AOSP build without the improvements of CyanogenMod, I would use it.

I'll wait for TheDudesAndroid to release the official Vibrant version of CM.

Can someone tell me what benefits CyanogenMod brings? I've never used it. JK6 ROM works well, what I lose and what I get after flashing to CM? Thanks.

You will lose the codec for HD video, so Avatar and whatever else you have on your phone will not play, thats the a big one for me, as soon as they get that resolved I will be a very happy man. Also the Kernel is bad on the battery, very bad (12 hours) very very minimal use, sync wifi off.

So, I just got this working on my telus fascibrant (Don't ask. )

Any idea why the home +back buttons both function solely as back buttons and how to change said thing around?

Try using Eugene's kernel. It worked for my Vibrant. Not sure what your "Fascibrant" is, so I'm not sure if it might work for you.

    I have two issues:

    When I try and flash Eugene's kernel, I get:

    Code:
    -- Installing: SDCARD-EXTERNAL:CM6_13.zip
    Finding update package...
    Opening update package...
    Installing update...
    Copying files...
    E:Failure at line 1:
    copy_dir PACKAGE:system SYSTEM:
    Installation aborted.

    I went ahead and rebooted to try and start it up, but now it's just sitting at the CM bootscreen. The streamers start going around, then freeze, and the entire boot screen just goes away then it starts again.

    I had Macnut r13 installed. Here's what I did:

    ODIN'd initial kernel (re-partition unchecked, reboot and reset time checked)
    Booted to recovery
    Installed CM
    Installed Gapps
    Installed JL1 modem
    Installed su
    And rebooted. Now I'm stuck at the bootscreen.

    Did I break something again?

    You didn't wipe !!!

    sorry.. my issue is that the phone acts as though it isnt rooted

    Well, is it? For whatever reason, this isn't rooted by default.
