Just went from RC0 to RC2. holy hell what a difference in speed and reliability. Nothing is lagging! And themes actually work! Been a while since I have been able to find a decent one. Used to flash a new theme every other day when I had my epic.

All in all, RC2 will be my main runner until a solid CM10 comes out.

Yeah, I have either been running RC1 or a nightly from right after RC1 was released, flashed the latest nightly this morning, and there is definitely a noticeable increase in smoothness.

If you flash RC2 and the full stable is released shortly after, would that be a complete wipe or is upgrade possible?

Not sure how much longer I can go on stock with these terrible battery issues.

Is there a way to install RC2 using RomManager? Its so much easier that way... I only see the nightlies though.. are release candidates available somewhere on rom manager I just can't find?

Thanks.. the Cyanogen Nightly section keeps disappearing out of rom manager... I'll take a peek again later and see...

I'm still running the 4/19 nightly. Hoping RC2 will provide better signal reliability and better battery too.. the 4/19 has been going strong as my daily for a while.. maybe time for a full wipe to gain some significant improvements in RC2

tethering

Has anyone else having trouble with tethering found a solution yet? I've tried installing the 4g tether fix from a previous post, and no dice.
I've tried matr1x and air kernel, both create errors when activating the WiFi interface and it won't proceed from there.

stock tethering starts without SHOWING any errors, but the SSID doesn't ever show up on the computer which leads me to believe the same error is occurring there as it is in both Open Garden and Android Tether.

I've flashed 3 other roms today, and tethering is working fine with 3g/4g on those. But I'd much rather run this!

Also, when I plug it to the charger the phone won't recognize it's being charged. The screen doesn't come on when plugged in, the lock screen still shows "please connect your charger," battery icon doesn't change in the notification area. The only way to see if it's charging is to go into battery settings- and even then sometimes it shows "##% - Discharging" even though the percentage will be going up. The battery stats NEVER show it as being in a "charging" state.

Any idea how to get the system sounds to work? Like touch sounds with vibration and lock screen sound

Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk 2

Edit: they are enabled from settings, other sounds like the dialer touch sounds work. Tried booting to recovery and fixing permissions. Running stable version and latest gapps.

    Everything works great and loving the new boot screen!!

    But...

    Where in the blue hell did face unlock go?? I LOVED that feature!! Not that I like seeing my own face every time I want to unlock my phone, but I LOVED playing with it!! And it only seemed to get smarter and smarter every time I updated it..

    I hadn't updated my nightly build for a while (in fact, I've been sticking with cm7 as my daily until they got the bugs worked out..), and now that I'm trying it again, I find LESS features (in other areas too, such as the removed governors in the cpu controls, and the inability to use voodoo due to the stock cm9 kernel not having the parts)??

    THE ENTIRE POINT OF CM WAS to give us a feature-rich, near-fully-customizable experience, and now a lot of the stuff has been shut down that CM7 had??!! WTF!!

    C'mon maintainer team!! Stop shutting down the customizations that made CM rock in the first place!!

    I was a developer for the moto backflip forum on m3, so this *****ing is not coming from just an everyday user experience, and I would just compile my own from cm source with the overlays (or modding with my own code), but it's obviously been done a few times using Google source (e.g. oICS and The Orca Project), and I simply don't have the time anymore since I work 2 jobs now!

    Can we PLEASE get back some more of the customizations that made me fall in love with CM 2 years ago??

    Now, don't get me wrong.. as I said in the beginning, it looks and runs great, as-is.. but robbing Peter to pay Paul (because yes, I've seen some custom work in other areas, such as with the launcher) is not the right way to handle things..

    Just my 2 cents on everything..

    Peace..
    ~Wickid~

    I'm gonna to try to answer your questions without flaming you but it's difficult....

    1. Face Unlock comes from the Gapps you use, not the ROM.
    2. Voodoo features are already included in the ROM. DSP for Voodoo Sound features and the colors can be adjusted in the included settings without installing Voodoo.
    3. No one cares how busy you are, Kalim is probably a busy man too.
    4. Developer or not, stupid post is stupid post.
    5. Stop shouting, you're an idiot.


    EDIT: I was not up to the challenge.
