There isn't anyone but you that can answer of the question of when/what to upgrade your phone to. Make a choice and see how it turns out - if you don't like it you can restore from Backup.

There's instructions on the CM7 post, but in essence you need to:

1. Boot into recovery
   
2. Perform a nandroid backup
   
3. Do a full wipe
   
4. Flash CM7 zip
   
5. Flash Gapp zip
   
6. Reboot into CM7
   

I'm running it a the moment (and the nightlies before that) and don't have an isse with the 'stable' version at all. Bear in mind you'll loose the ability for FM radio (for now)

Think i might wait a little longer.

It's totally worth it to try it. Especially since FLB is not so good as CM7/Swedish Spring.

Thanks

Well if your current ROM fits all your needs you doesn't *need* to change it. But if you want a better experience etc. there are newer roms you could try.

i'm not guna list all the ways cm7 is better. but, SS RLS3 was my last rom before cm7 and so i feel like i am justified to comment on cm7 being better

just try it out for a few days and if you don't like it flash your SS nandroid. there's nothing to lose :)

much to gain :)

Can anyone tell me what issues are still outstanding onthe CM7 Rom.

ive checked the page 1 of the Nightlies threads but the dont seem to be updated anymore.

[Guest Willz]

I can't see why you shouldn't. It's called a stable rom for a reason. I'm having no problems so far and really liking it, though I had zero problems with the beta either.

[Guest metal.mickey]

so there are no outstanding problems with the:

radio

proximity sensor

gps

[Guest Michealtbh]

There is no FM radio yet, could hardly consider that a bug though. GPS and proximity sensor are fine

[Guest themighysquitt]

I agree with you there mate both work fine for me. I'm thinking of making this my last ROM install (I've tried out many over the last few months). :)

[Guest jayhix]

i would say upgrade to RC4, the "stable" version is ironically less stable than RC4 or a couple of nightlies back from that. you only have to look at the nightly thread to see this :)

[Guest Maz2011]

I agree. I tried CM7 stable and quickly went back to RC4 as it has far fewer problems. None in fact, for my usage.

[Guest metal.mickey]

have you seen the length of that thread. ive just tried CM7 Update.zip and i cant mount the USB and ill be damned if im gonna trawl that for a fix.

ive been reading another CM7 thread which suggested that some of the issues were Titanium Backup related and inherited and that the GPS is still iffy

I think ill just wait till the final release

[Guest Hellek2]

I only tried CM7 stable on my Orange Boston a bit which I now reverted to CM6.1.2 and made me decide to wait for CM7.1.

In fact it was always the right decision for me to wait until Cyanogen X.1 (the second stable release).

If your Blade is your main phone, stay with stuff like Swedish Spring RLS4 which works perfectly for me (although I loose data connection about 1-2 times per day, but I just have to disable/re-enable data via the power control widget to fix it, that is tolerable)

If you play around, go to CM7. It should work okay, but be prepared to have a reboot once in a while or other small inconveniences. Usually the first stable release has some glitches, the second stable release of the same version is better. I always made that experience on my older phones already.

The nightlies are basically development releases.

The RCs are alpha versions (some might call them beta)

The first stable (i.e. 7.0) is a beta to me.

The second stable (i.e. 7.1) is usable for everyday use (to me).

Expect a few weeks of wait between 7.0 and 7.1. Basically when X.0 comes out lots of people start using it. Only then do some important bugs get pointed out and fixed. X.1 really is stable then.
