Also it said that the build was broken according to the changelog

+1 - CM is really the one ROM to rule them all. I can't use a different ROM for more than 8hrs before starting to miss CM7. A large part of my decision to get the Shift was actually based on the probability of CM support.

Thanks so much to all the CM team and Toastcfh in particular! Gonna try and send a donation this payday. Gonna lie and tell the wife it's for pr0n

Loving the rom so far, i enjoy it way more than the nightlies build, but Has anyone tested a kernal on this yet???

 

[doratheconquistadora]

I noticed that the instructions for upgrading from another version of CM7
It doesn't tell us to wipe.

Would it be better to wipe cache/full wipe etc? Or just flash 7.1 over 7.0.3?

You should be fine just wiping dalvik and cache. But make a nandroid first. If it goes wrong just restore your nandroid and do a full wipe (system, data, etc). But most likely you'll be fine without the full wipe.

Is this based on a particular nightly? Like did they just take one of the more recent nightlies and change it to the 7.1 release? Let's say I am running nightly 216, is there any reason to flash this stable one if the nightly is running perfectly on my phone? I am just not sure exactly how this differs from a stable nightly.

Thanks.

It differs from a nightly because it is a stable build. Not saying the nightlies aren't stable... and, I believe the stable versions are put together (compiled) by a human where as the nightly releases are compiled by the build bot...

Any of the AOSP kernels in kernel manager lite should work.

The favorites here are ScaryStable, Pershoot and Tiamat.

I personally prefer ScaryStable.

 

[kyhassen]

Awesome thank you. I was concerned because those say for like 2.3.4 or 2.3.5 and this rom is 2.3.7

I just went to cyanogenmod.com and my antivirus came up with malware blocked.?.

seemed odd to me cause ive been to their site plenty of times before. maybe i typed it in wrong.

What exactly are nightly builds? I know there built by a bot, and aren't 100% stable, but are they rebuilds of the actual cyanogen rom? Please forgive my ignorance, but I have yet to run cyanogen mod.

Ok, is there any particular reason why its not listed on the cyanogenmod download page? Also, in the op, the main link isn't working. I'm downloading from the mirror now. Seems as if it should be on the speedy download page never the less.

You didn't wipe dalvik and cache before flashing. Try downloading from the link in the OP, reboot in to recovery, mount usb storage, copy kernel to sdcard and reflash after wiping dalvik and cache.

New builds that are built every night. No they aren't built by a bot AFAIK.
