New July 8 nightly is out.
I flashed it last night, but without a changelog I can't tell what's improved.
Mostly my OG just sits on the table. :'(

I'm getting wifi crashing/rebooting the phone on the latest nightly.

Any version of CM7 that doesn't? Looks like cm 7.1 rc1 does it as well (steel droid).

need wifi. Fail?

I have no problem with wifi. Do you wipe dalvic and cache when you flash updates?
That's the minimum to do. If you are coming from a different ROM entirely then anything less than a full wipe is risky.

Nightly 9-30 has borked my D1 and my DInc2.
D1 would not even begin the update in recovery, just froze. Battery pull and now it won't boot. Stuck on M logo.
Booting into recovery gets me the top level menu, but any selection leads to a blank screen. Press power from the blank screen and you're back at the menu.

Managed to get the Dinc2 restored, but now have no network available, only wifi.
Crap.

Try this for your D1 (second section)

Hi, thanks much for the reply.
After more fooling around with the D1 I found that the recovery menus would respond properly from the keyboard enter button. I was able to restore the previous version of the nightly.

I tried flashing the latest cm nightly from two different download sources for the DInc2, but neither would install.
So, I am sufficiently recovered but not running the latest version. :'(

The lack of network on the DInc2 was me being dumb- the battery cover is the phone antenna. Doing lots of battery pulls? Don't expect network with the cover off. Sigh.

Is there a place where I can view nightly change logs?

This is the best I have found

The "weeklies" continue, but I haven't pulled out my old D1 from the desk drawer in a while. :-[

Which build are you using? Thinking about updating my droid1. Haven't updated in a long time.

Cheers,

Hi-
My droid is semi-retired. It comes out of the drawer every couple of weeks for some play time.
I always ran CM7 nightlies on it. There's so little going on with CM7 that they are now on a "monthly" release schedule. Very reliable, no issues for me. I also ran Prime's kernel and overclocked a bit. Also the V6 SuperCharger script from zeppelinrox.

The ROM that gets a little bit more attention is Steeldroid. I never tried it, but certainly would. Lots of good responses on it.

Good luck with your OG Droid!

Yeah, I got the last Nightly running on my trusty HTC Incredible. There's been one more new cm7 nightly (20130301) but there hasn't been one released thus far since. I wonder if CM is going to announce a closure on CM7 channel, or it'll just be longer gaps between nightlies? Honesty the CM7 nightlies have been extremely stable :)

Seems that there are still some fixes sifting down to CM7 once in a while. I expect they will stop working on it at some point, who knows when. It won't get any further features, that's for sure.
It's a fantastic piece of work - very robust and stable, and the root source for countless custom ROMs.
Gingerbread still holds a large percentage of the android OS currently in use. Of course this will continue to slowly decline as devices are replaced.

Such is life. ;)

I'm trying to get my friend to find his OG Droid so I can tinker with it. Was such a classic.
