I've got mixed feelings about CM7.1.0 stable... This is the first custom ROM I have ever tried on an Android phone, and it's been a mixed bag.

I have the European DZ, which did have stock HTC (with sense) gingerbread.

Bit of a battle to get it rooted (thanks HTC!), but managed it eventually.

My problems with CM7.1.0 stable are:

GPS didn't work. Had to do much digging round forums and a radio flash to get it to work.

Wifi set to turn off when the screen is off by default caused me a lot of headaches! Missed loads of emails because I didn't realise the phone stopped listening for them when the screen turned off! Rather a crazy default in my book.

£ and € symbols on the real keyboard don't work. £ is sym Z, and € is sym X. If I want to type £ or € then I have to close the real keyboard and use the touch keyboard instead! :-/
Two application shortcut keys on the keyboard don't seem to do anything anymore.

No notification LEDs for email,sms, missed call. Even the charging LED colour seems to randomly pick a colour, sometimes green when charging, sometimes orange. Back in HTC world it was orange for charging, green for charged. Email, SMS, missed calls all made the LED blink green to tell me I had missed something. I've tried various apps to resolve this. "LED me know" won't work with the gmail app, so that was no good. Currently trying "light flow".
Notification setting were all built into the HTC gingerbread version, and all worked.
How can CM really claim to support G2/DZ when such basic features don't work out of the box?

I hope I'm wrong, but unfortunately with ICS now here, I can't see anyone bothering to fix CM7.1, they'll all want to play with the new shiny code.

I just hope they test ICS a little better. I'm on the verge of flashing back to stock.

Please don't suggest trying a nightly, I can't risk it, this is my only phone, I need it! I've got enough bugs in the "stable" release without trying a "beta"! At least I know the current bugs!

CM7.2 is coming. to be honest, i have not bothered installing cm7.1 stable. right now im using ILWT CM7 which has ironed out a lot of this issues(gps, led, wifi). even though ILWT tends to update every few weeks, i have not had any problem from not updating. (I only update when there is a major change)

CM7 aside, if you want a good/stable/fast Stock like rom, try Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 at my signature. I have been using that rom since i got my phone and have only recently changed to ILWT.. I'll recommend ILWT for CM7, Virtuous Sense v2.0.0 for Sense based rom(based on stock Desire Z rom, but completely optimized), and Virtuous G-Lite for AOSP build (based on official AOSP build for t-mobile G2)

I concur with the previous poster. Despite what you may have heard, in my experience, CM7 nightlies (including ILWT mod) have been just as stable - if not more stable - than any of the RC's or stable CM releases.

If the LED's are bugging you, there is a flashable zip that tsubus fixed up that will change the LED style back to how it used to be (i.e., green blinking for all notifications). During charging, the LED *should* be solid amber until the battery reaches at least 90%, at which point it turns green. I encourage you to check out tsubus' ILWT ROM, but at the very least try the flashable zip. It's noted to work fine with all CM based ROMs. Here's the link to the thread; zip is in the OP.

Hey how do I find the duration of each call? I seem not to be able to find how long each call is on this rom.

Go into the Phone app, select the Call Log tab, then it tells you the time each call started. If you press on the call entry, it also tells you the duration at the top. At least, it does on the Nightly that I am running, I would be suprised if the stable doesn't do the same.

Sent from my Desire Z running CM7.

I'm on the last stable and it does not show me that. When I press on the call it just gives me the call back option and a couple other options. No call duration.

I'm on the latest stable as well and its at the very top; first line states Incoming/outgoing call, second line states the date and time, third line states duration.
