How do you use CM7

[Guest Taptap1]

Hi,

KaltKaffee did a great work with his converter but didn't upgraded it for a long time.

Because of the easy method to "upgrade" with TPT to Gen2.

I hope that with this Poll it will be more clear if it make sense to continue working on the converter.

And try to convince KaltKaffee continuing work :unsure:

I've actually settled down on RC4 (yes, rc4 for gen1!) for quite some time. I'm eagerly waiting for some sensors and sound love in the nightlies and then I'm going to upgrade to gen2 using the brilliant wbaw's tpt method.

no poinjt of upgrading to gen2 when it doesn't really change anything or provide you some sort of bonus...as long as the converter is working, i'll stick to gen1 :/

Well yea, "as long as the converter is working". Going to gen2 and backwards is too easy to fiddle around with converters instead.

I jumped too gen2 because i hated the idea of constant converting

For everybody who is still using the latest gen1 CM7.

You can intsall the newest CM7 update without wiping or updating to Gen2 then install the Converter, which will convert your Gen2 CM7 into a Gen1 CM7.

lol, me too! i got bored of having to do everything over every couple of days...

i've had rc4 for a few weeks now (since whenever it came out), with no issues whatsoever - oh tell a lie, i think it rebooted once in all that time, and i use gps a lot!

i've sort of been following the nightlies thread, and like you, i may 'upgrade' to gen2 when it seems that cm7 is finally final and stable.

I use KK method because I hate to wipe and reinstall everything, so far working very good I have tried several G2 nightlies in my "vintage" G1 OLED SF.

I do not think I will jump to G2 totally until CM7 is really super stable & bug free. The only thing that worries me about KK method is the modified kernel he used.

[Guest hedgepigdaniel]

If you don't want to use CM7, then you might want to stay on Gen1. But if you use CM7, there is definitely a reason to upgrade to Gen2. There is no point in KK wasting his time upgrading his converter when going to Gen2 is as easy as downloading a file and pressing 2 buttons. By using his converter you reintroduce old bugs in CM7 that have been fixed and exclude yourself from any new improvements in the kernel (most of which are important). When you report bugs in threads here you confuse things because you don't know whether your bugs exist in the latest CM7 versions.
