Working well so far. Haven't tested everything yet but it's slick.

Got it flashed and my typical setup all worked out. Seems to run about the same as AOSP's build but of course will have to run it more.

what's the kernel version?

From the initial commits that Darchstar submitted, it's Decad3nce's kernel source/configuration (when you flash the nightlies, it will say ameer@darchstar #1 for the kernel name) - this is an uncapped kernel config, but will be set to 691 max by default.

Thanks to Jaybob for picking up the torch on this!

yes, ive been waiting for this for a long time! now a true cm7 rom for the heroc :D ok, enough ranting. i suppose that backing up my current install of aospCmod would be a good idea. ill go back to that if things dont work well for me with the nightly 3.

question: why is it called nightly 3 when its the first one? were there 2 private nightlies?

EDIT: im going to assume that it has something to do with all the other phones recently getting RC1, because they all seem to say full-3

From what I understand of the CM build environment, it increments the build # (nightly number) for each build, even if they fail. Since there's no "nightly 1" or
"2", I'm guessing those failed, and 3 was the first successful one.

Edit: usually, you could check buildbot.teamdouche.net for a history of this, but it's not public right now for whatever reason.

alright. thats ok, i wont die just because there isnt a 1 or 2. i just flashed it, hopefully it works. that progress bar didnt move at all, and next thing i know, clockwork says install successful. the boot animation is running, so i assume thats a good thing.

So if I have been flashing Deca's 691 kernel to use CW 2.5 to run aospCMod, theoretically with the CM7 nightlies I can do without flashing a capped kernel.

(That was a giant sentence.)

Should work fine, yep! My hero can't go to 768, and is overall shakey above 691. I've had no problems with the prebuilt kernel in darchstar's heroc device tree.

    Flamers, and Haters, and Trolls, Oh My!!

    "Can't we all just get along" - Rodney King (popular misquote)

    First of all, I have no complaints or issues regarding aosp and his work, and would ask people not to complain using my name or on my behalf.

    This is not the appropriate forum for a debate on what aosp should or should not have done, and frankly (in my opinion) it is not our position to say. Please understand that he is under no obligation to provide his source, and that is his personal choice, and he is perfectly entitled to his perspective and his decision. As well as entitled to not being attacked or harangued about it. My viewpoint is as follows: If someone offers you a free cookie, and you ask for the recipe, and they decline, thank them for the cookie, and move on.

    Keep in mind that aosp did contribute a very well constructed build based on CM7 sources and his own efforts that was of value to the community. I am sure there are many people out there who have personally developed modifications or enhancements for no one but themselves (as I did for a long time). No one is criticizing them, because they remain in the background, and if this is the standard for behavior, not many are likely to come forward.

    I would ask everyone to put the energy being wasted on arguing back and forth to put that time and effort into contributing to the community. Or their family. Or volunteering. Or anything that adds value. All of the sniping and arguing on both sides is just a waste.

    If you feel the need to continue to engage in an ongoing battle to support your personal position, please do it in another thread, and keep this clear for positive discussion and support.

    Well guys, it's a sad thing to have to say, but I've finally made the decision to move on from the Hero. Currently, I now own an EVO 3D and loving it to pieces. The Hero has been a ridiculously resilient phone. What's been done with it is nothing short of incredible. It's gone through and will probably continue to go through every version of Android that we've thrown at it.

    It's been a great deal of fun being at this section of XDA, but now I must take my leave. Thank you to everyone who made my phone experience what it was.

    The links in this thread should remain accurate with no need to change them, but I will not be updating it when major versions come out or if RCs come out.

    F.A.Q.

    What is this?

    CyanogenMod is an aftermarket firmware for a number of cell phones based on the open-source Android operating system. It offers features not found in the official Android based firmwares of vendors of these cell phones. It is community built, and open source, the heart of what Android stands for. The current version of Android that CyanogenMod is built on is 2.3 (Also known as Gingerbread)



    DISCLAIMER: This is not my work. I did not help build CyanogenMod in any way, shape or form. Do NOT donate me or thank me with the assumption that I had any part in dev'ing this. I simply created this thread to help you keep track of the nightlies.

    Any accidental donations given to me because of this thread will be promptly returned.

    The real people you should be donating to is jaybob (if you can help us convince him to add a donate link for his hard work), Decad3nce, and of course, Darchstar himself.

    A heads-up to you cMTD users -- the next build (and thereafter) is going to be pre-optimized (ODEX), so please adjust your system partitions accordingly.

    The unzipped ROM image is going to be about 104MB, so with gapps you'll probably want to go with 130 for system.

    Also, the magic number for cache size is 18 -- no market fix needed.

    A fairly easy interim fix is to install "Gscript Lite", then "Add script" with the contents "killall mediaserver", finally do an add to Home screen (long press), then "Custom shortcut", "Pick your activity", "Gscript Lite", and select the script you just added. This will give you a one button restart from your home screen.

    So I guess it's mediaserver (/system/bin/mediaserver) that's stalling after a while, looks like something with the cache? Anyway, a quick and very dirty temporary workaround without rebooting the phone is, as root:

    killall mediaserver

    Edit: not to worry, the service will start itself back up automatically.

    yes

    or you can do it adb style

    adb shell
    killall mediaserver


    edit: someone can even probably make a one click apk that will run that shell script (not me though ;) )

    Here is how its different

    These are OFFICIAL nightly builds as part of OFFICAL cm7 also with nightly builds we will get newer commits every night hence the term nightly

    aosp has done great work but he hasn't made his tree available so cyanogen wants no part of his work nor does aosp want to share





    Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

    Just as an FYI, there is a build like every few days from aosp, so the term official really means nothing. This will be leaps and bounds behind aosp's build until he stops working on it as, like u said, he has worked out alot of bugs that are still being worked on here. Plus he syncs with cyanogen so we also get all the new stuff from that side, along with aosp's fixes. Im not bashing whatsoever, and everyone on cyanogen side made a great rom(cm 6.1), i just think its unfair that you say that. And if i spent so much time and effort on something, something i did by myself, i would keep it guarded as well. just like we had a month or so ago someone coming in and stealing aosp's rom, taking out the CM stuff(just the apps) and re-distributing it as his own, i think aosp wants to guard from that. So im sure he has his reasons, hes not just like "hahahaha they will never have my tree cause im a huge a**hole". Im looking forward to seeing what comes out of darchs and all you guys corner of this. Will be interesting, i just hope aosp goes pure vanilla and gets rid of the CM stuff, and you guys over here keep up with the cm stuff so the community has a choice in what they want like with froyo. Everyone's work is appreciated, aosp just got to the punch first, cant knock him for that.
