I think pretty much everything works now with the latest cm7 builds. Of course, there are going to be several more bugs fixed that you may or may not ever run across.

I have flashed cm7 nightlies every night from build #7, it might be working but it is not working on my Incredible...the MMS is received but video won't play and the sound won't play either, usually a qcp file... this has been my only issue on every build, any help is greatly appreciated, thank you

How have you been installing the nightly builds? Just flashing over? Clearing Dalvik and cache? Full wipe? If you've just been flashing over try clearing Dalvik and the cache. If that fails then do a nandroid backup and full wipe and reflash.

I'm looking forward to trying this ROM, but I'm loving my device right now while running Virtuous w/ Lou's #9 kernel. Everything works, is fast and very stable. Maybe after I get back from vacation next week the CM7 team will have most of the kinks worked out. Can't wait!

I noticed with build 19 that notification beeps now come out as BEEPSQUAKPPP really loud and distorted (sorry for the bad sound effect impression). Is anyone else having this problem? Specifically I noticed it when connecting to BT Speakerphone and SMS inbound.

There aren't any kinks, that's the point :)

They're very close to a RC
Yes, they are close, but the reason they aren't there yet is because there are still a few kinks. They're calling it RC0 right now, but I'm not sure what to think of that. The following definition is from Wikipedia:

"The term release candidate (RC) refers to a version with potential to be a final product, ready to release unless fatal bugs emerge. In this stage of product stabilization, all product features have been designed, coded and tested through one or more beta cycles with no known showstopper-class bug."

CM7 skipped right over Beta. It went straight from Alpha to RC0. Maybe the thinking is, with so many people flashing the nightly builds that suffices as Beta testing.

According to their post, it is still Alpha. Not Beta, Not RC. It is Alpha.

So, will RC1 == beta??? I don't know, but at this point, I would say technically yes because they are still putting in new features every few days. That, by defination, is alpha. Beta would be testing and fixing, testing and fixing. RC would be they think it is done, lets do one more full-on test. If a problem is found, fix and increment RC. If none found, release as final version.

Also, at this point, there is no bugtracker for CM7. That would indicate alpha, where bugs upcoming features are still internal to the devs. Usually, during beta, public bugtracking is provided to get everything working on a broad scale and to accept additional feature requests.

Battery life

I am really liking the nightly builds as well.
I am on build #20 now and everything seems to be working just fine.
Except the battery life. My battery only last ~8 hours now. Looks like it is just being killed by the display. The display used 70% of the battery with an uptime of 2 hours.
I may have to switch back to another ROM if I can't get better battery life that 8 hours.

I'm on CM7 #19 - Anyone notice that the Pinch to Zoom in the browser is not re-sizing the text wraparound properly. Takes like 3 or 4 attempts to get it right.

Is it just me or are others seeing this as well?

im on 22 with the beta kernel and this thing rocks, should be an rc imo as it is, I havent had issues since the first omgb and evervolvs, never had a prob with crackflashers or nightlies. I have even gone back to other roms, they never make it thru the day on my phone. CM7 is THE ROM!
