Cyanogenmod 7 vs Cyanogenmod 7 RC4

[Guest Tahsin]

Which one is exactly better? At the moment I have rc4, but my rom manager suggests I upgrade to cyanogenmod 7 stable. Which ones better? In terms of speed, stability, and other stuff. xD Oh and if it works with App2Sd.

My phone, Zte blade.

[Guest Victor von Zeppelin]

Meh, not much has changed. But stable is newer, so just go for it.

LWP are choppy in Stable. I can't stand having them now :)

N35-36-RC4 are the best, many user's complain about stable, no idea if it's down too user error though...

[Guest targetbsp]

Whereas IMO, Stable works great and N36 doesn't. :) You pretty much have to try it to see which is best for your purposes I guess! :)

This. I haven't had any issues (yet) with stable but the boards are flooded with people complaining left right and centre. Just experiment and remember to backup if it goes all squiffy.

You have to try it for yourself. I reverted to RC4, because the 'stable release' got me much trouble and numerous bugs. For example when charged on the main charger the phone immediately rebooted itself as the cable was removed. At nighttime the phone randomly shuts down. To get it back to work, I had to pull the battery. My wifi transfer rates were cut in half. When the usb cable was attached, mobile data (HSDPA) transfer rate was dropping into single digits. The RC4 on the other hand is reliable and fast, not one of the aforementioned bugs occur. So my tip is stick with RC4.

Your first and last sentences completely contradict each other?!

Not really, only if you want to misunderstand it. But I clarified my conclusion.

[Guest jayhix]

RC4.

reverting back to it now from stable, cant stand how laggy it is.

"You have to try it for yourself"

"so stick with it"

CONTRADICTORY.

Who cares!

anyway, my opinion RC4 has still got a big GPS bug, so the stable release is as stated the most stable, least buggy.

however try them yourself and see which one is best for your needs.

Also the default launcher is as laggy as always, install something like launcherpro, which is super smooth on 2.3

tried stable but finally returned back to rc4

my phone with cm 7 stable will shut down when being charged

[Guest stenlibi]

Nightly 39 the best for me until now. Without GPS bug and no random or charging restarts. Is almost perfect!!

[Guest Thermostat9]

I was happy with RC4 for a week or so and expected the 'Stable' release to be an improvement but it was anything but. I had the reboot from unplugging the USB, keyboard oddities, blank screens and it was pretty rubbish.

Reverted to RC4 last night and it is now fin again. (But I wish I could get ClockworMod backups to actually work properly, despite doing a complete backup and a wipe and restore I still lost lots, but not all, of my apps and settings.... Still better than previously when the restore has simply not worked for me!)

[Guest Maz2011]

Same here. Various problems with stable. Went straight back to RC4 which is fine. (RC4 for me is only missing the SIP sound to rear speaker patch. If it had that I wouldnt change again.)

I agree, I found no problems with RC4 and quite a few with "stable" :)

But the N40 is better than RC4?

[Guest Tahsin]

Is the n40 even out yet? Doesn't say on my rom manger.. but if it is, I guess I can try, and I don't get it. If they say its stable why is there so many bugs? Someone needs to fix this. -.-

I've kinda changed my mind. Had 2 reboots and 1 where it switched itself off whilst charging on stable and N38 so far versus 2 ever on all previously nightlies (and both of those were on 'experimental' kernels). I've gone back to N35 with the GPS reboot bug because I don't use the GPS. :)
