Sooooooo happy! Thanks to all the developers who have made this tablet the best Christmas present I've received. It just keeps going and going.

I've decided to pause the nightlies at this point. If most people are on 9/4 we can start to see if there's any specific issues affecting all users that might be able to be resolved with the goal being as stable a cm9 release as possible. There isn't much being merged into the cm9 tree upstream so we're not losing anything by building less frequency.

So go ahead and install 9/4, if I see something of significance merged upstream I'll kick off a new public build.

thanks eye.
This gives me a chance to hack in the PBHACK which will bring down the memory usage of SystemUI like I did in JB.
Gonna take some work since it didnt like some of the syntax usage when I attempted the 1st time.
Will try to get to this sometime this week. Have my Grandma coming to town on Sunday, so will be unavail this weekend/next week.

Nightlies will now feature HWA and full Hardware Decoding, as well as working Flash.

Known issues.
Netflix - Stupid Stupid App. :p - Giving the same error as we are getting in JB, so when we fix one, we will fix the other.

Fruit Ninja - Hangs at the loading screen. - Known issue across several devices.

please, I need your advise.
I still have the AOKP build 40.
Should I update to this latest nightly build?
What are the main differences ?

I was in the same spot (krylon40). Updated yesterday and I 'm loving it. It's a lot smoother (apex launcher) and more stable. Plus mass storage config.

Stability it's not an issue for me.
Also all roms are smooth at beginning, but later not so much.
Did you notice any new characteristics?

Installed the new ROM last night. Doesn't seem to fix the issue between m-Secure and Dropbox so that app is a no go on my NC still. Too bad. Otherwise I'm noticing that the ROM runs pretty much the same as the version I installed a few weeks ago in terms of stability, good but not great.

I always get errors about the clock stopped when the book starts up. Does everyone get this error or am I doing something wrong?

Haven't seen that. Probably time for a full wipe.

In fact, in terms of error reporting in general, please do a clean install of 9/4 to see if that fixes any issues you may be having especially stock app FC/errors. This means in recovery, wipe system and data (factory reset). Then flash the rom and gapps and see if the error is reproducible.

I tried aokp 40 a couple weeks ago for about a day. Just flashed this one last night after a full wipe and already I'm very impressed! Much smoother already and way more stable. I never thought we'd see a build of cm9 good enough for a daily driver on this old beast. Well done gentlemen!

So I have to start over? I can't just flash cm9 on my card that has cm7 running?

I'm pretty sure that is ALWAYS recommended (eg, no flash CM9 over CM7)... so yea, don't flash over a SD card that currently has CM7 unless you wipe everything.
I'm also pretty sure Eyeballer is also asking those who have had CM9 installed to wipe as well.

We are asking that everyone do a full wipe so we can try to debug the issues. It's hard to debug when the we flash to emmc w/ full wipe to test before we push and otehrs flash to emmc w/ no wipe or flash to sd w/wo wipe.
Different environments cause different outcomes. So we are trying to bring everyone on the same page. If we can narrow it down to it either being a wipe issue, or, loading from the sd then that makes it a hell of a lot easier to debug.

9/4 fresh SD card install observations
Things were quick, then slowed down. The only glitch i've noticed is when in the app drawer, pressing home or n doesn't return to the launcher.
Edit: Seems to happen in settings too. Home button is broken in 9/4?

Edit edit: Reboot fixed the home & n button.

<tip>
I have noticed in 9/4 and before then on my old install that setting a Live Wallpaper (Nexus in my trials) helps make it a lot smoother. I'm wondering if the default governor is too conservative? Seems a live wallpaper keeps it closer to the max and minimum, and that helps with the smoothness</tip>Edit: 600mhz minimum seems a lot better... let's see how this affects battery :-/

Having issues downloading 9/04. Have tried.goo and other link in OP. Anyone else having issues?


Nevermind. Downloaded to my phone then transferred sd card. Loaded and got running. Running ok, but have had some freeze ups.

    As of 9/4 opengl is enabled on all builds (so no more double builds each night) and hardware UI acceleration is working. Thanks krylon360 for the work :)


    In the same spirit as Samiam303 I've been building and hosting nightly builds of CM9 for the community to use. In particular I'm now building nightlies with OpenGL rendering turned on in addition to non-openGL builds (same as Samiam303). These builds are all straight sync with CM source with no additional mods. Builds are sync'd at 3am EST for non-openGL and 4am EST for openGL - they will be available to download approx 15 mins after their sync times.

    So what does OpenGL rendering mean? It means we have some form of hardware acceleration for the UI and apps. It is not full hw accel and it is not hw video decoding. The couple of things you'll notice work is wallpaper scrolling in the launcher and chrome beta will mostly work to render webpages but will fc if you go into settings. Flash also somewhat works - I've found you definitely need to OC to get some flash videos to work, most still are not smooth.

    The downside to it seems to vary user to user, some people report sluggish responses and some get lock ups, a few have no problems at all..

    Either way, give them a try and report back. Please try to keep the thread on topic of these builds only, other mods can be flashed over, but that discussion should be in the respective thread. I'd also like to revisit keyodi's suggestion here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=22277804#post22277804) - a few people reported good results with that change. Any more feedback?

    Downloads

    There's a few ways to get the builds:
    1) Browse the hosted folder here: http://techerrata.com/browse/nightly_kangs/encore
    2) Follow @CM_Encore on twitter for announcements of the builds as they hit the host (PLEASE NOTE: @CM_Encore IS A TWITTER BOT - don't bother tweeting at it)
    3) *NEW* Use the Goo Manager app to receive notifications of new builds and download them directly on your nook. With Goo Manager you can also get incremental updates, see my post here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25441065#post25441065

    Latest ICS gapps can be found here http://goo-inside.me/gapps or mirrored here http://techerrata.com/browse/gapps

    Updates

    For the latest updates/announcements follow me on twitter, or check back here.

    5/9/12: Goo Manager now comes pre-installed to make updating as easy as possible :)
    4/28/12: Incremental updates are available for the flash-a-holics: See http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=25441065#post25441065
    3/10/12: Due to some merges yesterday you may need to reflash gapps when going from a nightly prior to 3/9 to later than 3/9

    Credit and Thanks
    Thanks to fattire, dalingrin and the rest of the CM encore theme for making this possible. Thanks to fellow TeamWin members Kevank for providing the hosting and to s0up for the Goo app.

    The 9/4 nightly includes all of krylon's changes, and opengl is now enabled by default so there will only be 1 build each night from now on (unless something changes again). In testing we haven't experienced any freezes or random reboots with the new code and opengl enabled, of course with wider testing we may discover something.
