CM6 for Droid! [stable release] Anyone have it yet?

[destrekor]

I'm a little hesitant to make the move to the first official release of CM6. Someone, talk me out of this and get me on the way to Froyo awesomeness!

i ran RC 2 and 3 for a bit, im on Simply Stunning 4.7 right now, IMO its smoother

The RC releases have been very stable for the N1 and Droid, but they get more of the attention. CM is a great ROM, coming from the Droid. Currently, I'm running Sapphire 1.0, but both CM and Sapphire have been excellent for me.

I would sell a number of bodily appendages to be able to run a CM release right now.

What phone do you have? Cyanogenmod has releases for more phones than any other device.

 

[rudeguy]

Samsung Vibrant

Nothing for the DX yet

And you won't for a very long time. Likely, after the phone's useful life span has ended.

Same.

 

[sjwaste]

Nope. I don't consider CM6 for the Evo a "complete" release since there's no 4G support. I think they're still waiting on HTC to release the kernel source for their 2.2 build, so we'll see.

Snappy is the best word to describe it. Very smooth and quick.

Not sure if we're talking about it being available on a specific phone or not.

Have it on Droid, switched to it from Liquid Froyo.

edit: I kind of wish ADW wasn't part of CM. I go back and forth between ADW and LauncherPro, but lately have preferred LauncherPro. Being able to assign different swipe actions was pretty handy and the app drawer is smoother in my opinion.

Loaded the stable this morning. So far so good after replacing the email app with the one from the 8/27 nightly to fix the battery drain problem. Other than that though it runs smooth as silk on my G1

CM6 is froyo 2.2 right?

 

[Anubis]

yes

 

[BTRY B 529th FA BN]

k, that's what I was thinkin; final release = CM6

Is there any way to install this without wiping the data? OR is there any way to install this and then get all my settings/downloads back to how they are now?

 

[ChronoReverse]

Titanium Backup will do the job.

 

[Anubis]

you dont have to wipe, however its always a good idea to do a backup and wipe, especially if you are changing roms

the market will auto re download your apps for you, if it doesn't you can simply clear your market cache and itll work. you can use titanium backup to do it as well

if you use launcher pro or ADW you can backup your home screen icon positions, this will restore everything but widgets. SMSbackup will back up your txts

 

[DisgruntledVirus]

Man are all the ROMs releasing updates right now? SS was a week or two ago, CM now, when will BB/Sapphire/etc hit?

All these releases are killing me... making me mess around with shit too much lol.... I should get Titanium Backup.

 

[Demo24]

I tried titanium backup, didn't work so wonderfully. And I can't not wipe as it simply won't boot if I don't.

 

[ChronoReverse]

What did Titanium Backup have trouble with? Did you click the "Problems?" button like it recommends you to do?

 

[Demo24]

Well I tried it again and this time it booted! Of course I had to redo my screens, but thats no big deal. Feels pretty smooth, especially once I got my mild overclock back.

The only issue I have found is that I can't get into cyanogen's settings, it forcecloses everytime. Any ideas on this?

You could try clearing the cache or data for Cyanogen Settings.

Alright, so I went ahead and made the move to CM6. (Moto Droid)

Donated for Titanium Backup (one button batch restore for apps, app data, and settings restore job. hell yes), and did a complete wipe.

Just installed the Slayher 1.2ghz kernel.

Quadrant: just over 1500

Benchmark Pi: 1421ms

I'm in love. Now, time to watch battery life over the next couple days (today's will be shit, still doing a lot inside recovery, like backups, and going to work on applying a few themes soon)... curious to see if this new governor in the Slayher kernels ("interactive" governor, versus "on demand" - polling is handled completely different) will provide some good battery life.
After these first few days to check out battery, I'll see if I should configure Juice Defender again.

 

[Anubis]

what does interactive do differently?
