[ROM] CyanogenMod 6.1 [Beta2 - 05 Feb 11] & 7 [Beta3 - 11 Feb 11]

[Guest fonix232]

Hehh, of course nothing works (wifi, ril, video playback, camera, sound) as the one who made it build forgot to extract proprietary files...

[Guest Rotmann]

That's not the CM quality we expected. RC1 FTW :D

[Guest Frankish]

Tried flashing just boot.img but never booted, said some stuff about the cpu in logcat. :D

[Guest Rotmann]

This forum is a mess, CM7 nightlies (the better one, as there were too) topic got closed, the bad one remained opened. Some moderators need to be moderated around here :D And of course, this obsolete CM6 topic remains opened.

Lost a lot of confidence in CyanogenMod.

Bunch of clowns.

Just because the very first automated 'nightly' is broken? Seriously?!

Anyway, as said by others, that closed nightly thread should really have been the one CM thread kept open for talk regarding this.

EDIT: looks like been re-opened, so ignore :D

@skymera - you should look in the mirror and say that to yourself. You have no idea what CM is and what nightlies are, you are just a plain old n00b. Sit down, rejected! Nightlies get generated automatically, since it's the first one it seems it got borked.

Amongst other things, yes.

Ha brilliant.

If you think you are better why don't you fix it? Oh wait... even a bunch of clowns is way superior to you.

Its NOT a full working release yet, it's RC1 which means it is still a TEST rom, albeing "nearly ready" it is stated quite plainly there are flaws with it and it's a rom to test and see how it works/report bugs.

You use it at your own discression

And lets keep the thread on topic please - no flaming other posters

[Guest fonix232]

Dropped together a little test-fix, flash from recovery, should fix problems with RIL, camera, WiFi, OMX, and HW acceleration.

It won't fix though:

- FM Radio

- Camera autofocus

- Any other bug listed on the CM Bugtracker

The package isn't signed so you need CWM or disable package verification in RA!

What topic? CM6 and 7 beta 3 don't exist anymore, this topic is obsolete and should be closed. CM7 RC1 should be reopened with all the bugs mentioned and the workarounds for the bugs in the first thread and with the warning for n00bs if they don't search the topic for fixes and keep asking the same questions all over, they will get warned. Simple enough, don't you think? Cheers.

Can you post this on my topic, too, please?

It it works, i'll also add it as a temporary fix to my first post of hopeful togetherness

To be honest, this release of CyanogenMod is possibly a Alpha, maybe a Beta version. But it surely is no Release Candidate. Period. The Proximity Bug had to be a show stopper. Workarounds are just that: nifty, but still dirty work around the big issues. And they even don't work. Any given Custom ROM here on Modaco outplays this hasty piece of wanna-be-ROM.

I have a question, is there a stagefright bug like in old 2.2 roms? Quadrant just after flashing showed me ~840 points but fps were similar to JJ RLS 9, but on JJ i had ~530 points with CPU set to 691mhz. I dont feel any difference in browsing with dolphin. Theoretically it should be a half faster :D

Agreed.

I have no idea why this was branded as an RC. Just hope the nightlies fix everything sharpish.

RC's what can be used as a daily software, but have a lot of bugs. The first RC's often does not have more needed things, like audio, or wireless.

And nope, they do not "play out" this ROM. It is the fastest, smallest, lightest ROM ever. You may won't notice but now it has a bit more RAM (428MB instead of 414) due to kernel optimization, a lot faster, and has more support than the previous ones. And, updated daily.

[Guest fonix232]

People you have simly no idea about what an RC is. Do not compare it with shitty Windows RC's, they AREN'T the same. CyanogenMod RC's are the releases what can be freely debugged, and for debugging! This is only like, a given basis, any bugs what happens should be reported only from it. Like, it is the officially supported one. Nightlies aren't supported, at least not so much like an RC. All fixes are merged when an RC is to be released, so these are like Service Packs.

Release Candidate is meant to be a build that can be considered for release - hence it shouldn't have many bugs. A release candidate should be a 'candidate for release' !

In this case, it's very misleading. The problem is that the general CM7.1 code appears to be at RC1, but the Blade specific code isn't at a Release Candidate level (not surprisingly), so I don't think the first build should have been labelled as such, and it actually does the Blade coders a disservice because it gives a false impression to people of how their code quality is.

[Guest Frankish]

There are really not that many major bugs though...yeah calls proximity and camera autofocus...that's about it for the major ones.

Tested your fix and everything works less the RiL part that is not working!

Edited February 19, 2011 by cooldfuzion

[Guest Frankish]

Tested and everything, but the RiL part is not working!

I made a fix and my RIL works ok. Maybe he forgot 2 ril related files... :D

Wipe before trying!

I got all ril files :D

Directly from the CM extract script, checked three times :)

- Desktop scrolling without LWP is laggy

- Headset buttons don't work

- Vol buttons don't change song when option enabled

- Vol controls don't work with screen off

Some of the ones I consider major atm.
