Cyanogenmod 7.1 is out, 68 devices supported

[DisgruntledVirus]

By the time the Bionic gets any kind of CM support, you're going to want a new phone. Sadly, Moto isn't community friendly at all.

Well the Bionic is just going to hold me over for a bit. Then I'm selling to my friend for about 1/2 price.

Still am hopeful that they can crack the Bionic though

Best News....EVER!!!

Just installed it on my Fascinate. My first ROM. So far so good, but does anyone have that stock fish live wallpaper?

Also a ringtone thats like a normal cellphone ring, but a little louder. The one I am using on CM is the digital phone one but it is kind of quiet even with the volume all the way up.

Not sure about the second one, but if you search Market for KOI Fish lwp, I think that's what you want.

Found it. It is here http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...s-on-your-own-rooted-phone-nexus-one-evo-etc/

You have to boot into recovery and install the zip file. Can't just copy and paste the .apk.
I did that, but it doesn't show up in my list of live wallpapers. I guess it doesn't work.

Yay, new stable for Nook Color with all the major parts added. As done as it will get for now.

 

[tdawg]

I think I will be trying this on my Droid X tomorrow!

 

[Darknite39]

To those with a DX, please update with impressions. I've never rooted before, but this may be the tipping point.

 

[zsdersw]

Put it on my Evo 4G.. quite impressed. Fastest CM7 release I've ever used.

 

[Anubis]

Cool... but is this stable? The stock firmware on my Droid X is driving me nuts.

looks like the DX is still on nightlies actually, they are generally stable but YMMV

not "stable rom"

IE its still being worked on

Still working on RIL issues that prevent it being merged with the main CM line. The 2 Oct 7.1.1RC release on RootzWiki has a nearly identical feature set though.

I tried the 7.1 and if i tried to make a call my phone would say out of service area, couldn't text either with it.... It's too buggy for me

Thats odd, verify the md5 from the version downloaded from the T-Bolt thread at RootzWiki and wipe data/cache before you flashed?

Don't think anyone else in the thread reported that bug.

I have one of the 7.0.3 nightlies installed in my Vibrant. Installing this wiped out my phone (expected of course). But was wondering if there was an easy way to update from a 7.0.3 nightly to this 7.1 stable and retain my settings, apps, and data? Or does any ROM update wipe the phone ?

I have a captivate, and have used cm7 nightlies before. Were they not available before 7.1 came out for the fascinate?

For me personally, I'm sticking with a captivate rom for my phone. Apparently because of proprietary drivers, some devices dont sleep correctly and kill the battery. I've read that nothing has changed in 7.1.

Is this the same case with the fascinate? Im asking because my cousin is always complaining abiout her fascinate, and if its better on the fascinate than the captivate ill flash it for her.

Only reason I have to use CM is called "Nook Color".

 

[Oyeve]

I cant root my vibrant. I copy the update.zip all over the place but recovery can never find it. Will just get tmos sgs2 when I am due for my upgrade.

You can upgrade from prior CM versions without a full wipe. If you have issues after the upgrade, you may be forced to do a full wipe.

One way to do it:
1. Download the new CM rom and google apps (can use Rom Manager but don't use it to install)
2. Figure out where Rom manager put the downloads
3. Reboot into recovery
4. Wipe/format cache partition (NOT wipe data)
5. Wipe dalvik cache (under advanced menu)
6. Install rom (install zip from sdcard, choose zip)
7. Install gapps

Done

Fascinate was never supported until this release. It was the red-headed stepchild of the Galaxy S phones.

Thanks, that went well enough and just took 5 minutes. And so far nothing exploded and everything still seems functional.

I rooted my Fascinate with SuperOneClick. Try that. It was super easy.

There's a sick new performance option in 7.1 called '16 bit transparency'. All but eliminated the scrolling 'lag' so prevalent in Android. My old Incredible is running damn near as smooth as an iPhone now.

I'm checking that out now. I have this running on my Evo, which isn't too laggy, and my Nook Color, which has AWFUL scrolling lag. I use Launcher Pro and the stock browser on both, so thanks for the tip.

I know I could use Opera for GPU-accelerated rendering in the browser, but the fact that it doesn't use the Android bookmark system is a complete dealbreaker - especially since it can't import.

 

[Binky]

I'm rebooting to try that 16 bit thing now. My Dinc went from taking 5 min to reboot on 7.03 to booting in less than 1 or 2 min under 7.1 Nice improvement.
