Argh. Want to give it a try but I don't feel like setting up my phone again. Been using Steam with Darkedge.

I may just wait until some 2.2 based ROMs come out.

Flash to it this morning. Very snappy compared to 5.0.6.2.

Ran into problems installing the Smoked Glass-esque theme though, caused a reboot loop.

I was one of the first in the IRC to flash it. A link was pasted in IRC even before the mirrors went up.

It's running great, I haven't seen any issues that were present in the test builds, except the "Music unpausing when unplugging headphones" bug.

This is fast, and I've overclocked to go even faster.

Went ahead and installed it. Pretty nice. My only complaint is that the default launcher needs to include dockable shortcuts.

ADW launcher is cool, but I don't like the lines under the dockable shortcuts. And the area to close that dock you open by swiping up is miniscule for me. :)

Launcher Pro is cool except that you can't set your own shortcuts yet. Once that happens, that's what I'll be using.

Helix Launcher 2 does not handle landscape mode gracefully. Helix Launcher is not as smooth when using a live wallpaper.

I'm not a picky person, really. :D

Are you able to set custom notification colors for the trackball light based on email or missed calls?

Turn off the Dock Bar tint, gets rid of the lines. Setting the hidden dock to close after application launch mitigated it some what for me.

I'm also picky, both Helix launchers were sluggish and stuttered badly for me. Launcher Pro needs customized dock applications for me to use it as well. I like the customizations that ADW offers though, so it'll be hard.

latest launcher Pro update I just got lets you change the shortcuts on the dock. You just long press them and it brings up the "widget/shortcut/etc" menu.


has anyone tried updating to cyanogen 5.0.7.1 that came out today? not sure what it fixes but I can't get it to install properly through RomManager on my Droid.

don't use ROM manager...too many issues.


Just install it from recovery. ROM manager can be funky. Best to bypass it altogether to eliminate problems.

Yea I originally did the recovery way, just seems ROM manager is so convenient, well if it worked properly.
