Nightly 260

Have been on Nightly 260 since it was posted. Only issue was GPS lock and was easily resolved reading other posts in this thread.

Have had no battery or data issues. All apps work as advertised.

Very content and consider it stable and can stay here as a final release in my opinion.

Yeah...I did that a couple weeks back and wound up reverting to n260. Had some weirdness going on with my networks.

Tumble weed blows by..........man ooh man its been slow show here. Been on n260 with gps stock zippy from ladios for like a month and steady without flashing anything else and its been great and totally stable. Thanks for the best stable- battery efficient stable ROM Eva! I've managed to get my fix by rooting friends Evo & captivate and putting cm7 on them and they love it. Sweet

wow, still no nightly.

luckily i've been keeping myself busy with my galaxy tab 10.1 32 GB. rooted it, and installed a bunch of apps/games, but haven't really got down into the nitty gritty yet.

N260 working great except for gps. havent flashed the stock one yet since i havent really needed my gps.

my poor aria...probably get replaced soon with the samsung galaxy s2 if it ever comes down to $99 with my 2yr extension.

SGS2 looks pretty good but my contract is not up until March and I'm sure the landscape will change by then...should be cheaper.

yeah we have a family plan with 5 people, so i gave my upgrade for my wife last month, her moms is eligible, hers & her dads is in march and her bros is in june.

plenty of times to upgrade when the time is right. i know there will be a better phone out by march, so hopefully the SG2 will come down in price. i'm used to paying $1-$100 for a phone, so $200 is a little much.

My upgrade has been available since November and everyone keeps suggesting the sg2 and was kinda upset to find out last nite that radio shack was offering for $49 bucks from black Friday till December 31st and it's back up to $199 again. Hate missing that deal.

IMO, I just hate the screen on the SGS2. The image is stretched on the device and it's not even HD. I am seriously contemplating moving to Verizon because it seems like they always have the better Android devices. I don't mind dropping a few hundred on a phone, but I'm not going to pay $500-$700 for an unlocked device. What's everyone else's opinion?

Edit: I just saw on Engadget that AT&T is more than likely releasing the Galaxy Note around Valentine's Day (not official). It frustrates me that AT&T would release ANOTHER Gingerbread device! Not to mention how far behind AT&T is in LTE coverage compared to Verizon. --Rant Ended--

Picked mine up at Frys Electronics for $60 as an upgrade just before the holidays. Totally digging the phone, but its forums has some, ahem, very strong personalities ;) Definitely need Nomex over there.

Yeah I'm sure I missed some deals over the holidays but my wife needed the upgrade first cause her non rooted aria sucked. I can wait. I like my aria so I can wait.

I'm still holding out for the LG Nitro HD. They've made some progress and it seems like they will have CWM working on the device soon. I probably wouldn't buy it today since it's uncertain if there will be significant development on the device at this point in time, but when I'm eligible for an upgrade in late February, hopefully we'll have a better idea if it'll be worth it or not.

CM7 nightlies are no longer being built automatically. However, some people are still compiling new versions every so often. You can check them out here:

I don't believe it has been fixed, but you can still flash the same "stock GPS" zip to fix it.

    thanks ladios, but i've already tried editing gps.conf and adding the missing lines, namely:

    SUPL_HOST=supl.google.com
    SUPL_PORT=7276
    C2K_HOST=default or c2k.pde.com
    C2K_PORT=0 or 1234

    doesn't make a difference. only thing that works for me is pushing the old gps.liberty.so.

    i'm thinking the commit should probably get reverted or made supersonic specific (after all, he does mention the supersonic in the commit message).

    So, it's not that simple... probably more is going on behind the scene.

    Some devices have their own settings apps. I just maintain the Traditional Chinese translations for those. I'm still using my aria, but not for long. Perhaps, I'd go for the new nexus.

    When you mean old gps.libs. How old are we talking here? Does anybody have the old gps.libs handy by any chance so that I can try that out also?
    Click to expand...

    The oldest one from htc stock.

    I made a few zips for you guys to try. The libs are all built from source cleanly with `make gps.liberty`, so they should be safe... I mean the libs should (theoretically) have no conflicts. Anyway, NANDROID first!

    (I think those filenames are self-expained.)

    Don't you think this issue should have been addressed by now?? For me form should functionality not the other way around. But thats just me.

    You really need to remember that you are running our test builds. We haven't actually released anything yet.

    A few notes:

    • The problem with the install script was that the script was issuing an incorrect format command. This caused cm7 to install directly over cm6, retaining incompatible 2.2 code and causing bootloops in most cases unless a system format was done in clockwork manually prior to flashing cm7. This has been corrected, and system no longer has to be formatted before the cm7 is flashed for reliable operation as of the 01/19 nightly. You may still want to do this if you want to do a clean install with no gapps backup/restores.
    • A few of you have noted problems with wifi. There is no reason to expect CM7 to perform any differently than cm6.1.1 did regarding wifi. If you do, then there is probably an issue with your flash or with your wifi data. We are using essentially the same kernel and wifi drivers. Once again, no Broadcom driver set works with every access point out there. I've selected the ones that seem to work best for most people, including myself.
    • A few of you have noted issues with GPS. My experience with CM7 is that GPS locks very, very quickly. I used it today on a short road trip, and there was zero wait for GPS sync even after a. not using it for a few days and b. flashing a new test ROM. (Nothing changed regarding GPS). AGPS data is critical. If it's out of date, it can be a bear to sync. I suggest using GPS status (free in market) to update AGPS data and sync for the first time. Once that's done, GPS should be reliable thereafter.
    • Quadrant Benchmark does not work on Gingerbread. Notes for the product in market indicate that it does not yet support the Nexus S (the only production Gingerbread phone to date). If the Nexus S doesn't work with Quadrant, then I am afraid we all wait for a fix for Gingerbread before we worry about it any further.
    • For people who noted that the game "Air Control" did not work in CM6 - well, it does in CM7. Go figure.

    jznomoney and I (for the Liberty device) and the rest of the CM team are still working hard & fast as we can to bring a full set of CM features and even more stability to this project. Enjoy.
