The CyanogenMod team would like to thank everyone involved in helping with testing, coding, debugging & documenting! Enjoy!

Thanks to the devs for all thier hard work on this. I have been running it for almost two days, and no issues so far.

Been running it for a few days and the only issue is I've been told the speaker phone fades in and out. Otherwise it's been awesome! Very snappy and great battery life so far.

I can confirm this. When playing short sounds (like the click sound), the sound fades in and out improperly causing the sound to be played "halfway". Very annoying.

Otherwise, solid release.

I too have had this issue when getting a notification. If the tone is one that is longer than about a half second then it seems to fade out towards the end; sounds more like it's getting cut off.

I didn't think CM could get faster, but this feels so much smoother to me than 7.1 RC1. Thanks for the hard work. Love it!

Just noticed on this release there is an empty tile next to my name in the messaging app. Can I remove it or put a picture of me? I do have a contact in my phone labeled Me with my pic linked. That has made me show up in other roms with messaging apps like that. But my tile is different then incoming text tiles as it is not clickable aand has virtually no border.

Very solid release though its weird how the little things annoy me lol.

Set your devices number by going to menu>settings>call settings>additional settings>my phone number. Keep yourself as a contact in phone book.

I am having an issue with the GSM/H+ connection dropping completely, and having to switch in and out of Airplane mode to restore the connection. When this occurs the GSM indicator is gray with an x and there is no H+ or 3G indicator at all. It usually happens while the phone is idle with screen off...so that when you turn the screen on, it is offline.

Also, occasionally the H+ and GSM bars change from green to grey and seem to stop connecting. This happens while actively using the phone/internet connection.

Any suggestions as to what to try?

This may be a long shot, but it's worth trying. The radio in your sig (26.09.04.11) was never released specifically for the Inspire/AT&T. You may want to try flashing the latest official Inspire radio, version 26.10.04.03. Use the one that has the AT&T RCDATA file included. The Inspire radio thread is a little bit of a mess, so if you need it, here's a link to it from my dropbox. MD5 hash is 8F949D1985AC11CDF782BAAAEF02B580
