Figures. I just gave up my Sense FroYo rom for CM 6.1 last night. So far, I must say Im impressed. No wonder so many people are running CM roms.

Does voicemail work right? Last I tried it was still sending goofy text messages with links to voicemail. I have grown to really like visual voicemail even though I may get one a week.

Been running the nightlies and it's already awesome. I'm going to have to find time this weekend to do a nice clean full reinstall.

The voicemail seemed broken on the nightly build I was using, downloading RC1 now though.

I'm tempted to try it out on my Incredible, but the HTC Sense interface is pretty good as is. Will think about it.

cvps and Koush know what they're doing, they'll get it ironed out.

Impressive though, the list is up to 17 devices with GB builds before any manufacturer gets a GB build out the door. :p

Hopefully they do, it's a train wreck right now.

We have the damn Liberty Rom. Liberty is fucking amazing.

The toolbox is awesome for ease of tweaking stuff.

Battery life sucked balls when I used Liberty. It was fast, yeah, but battery life is more important IMO. I haven't tried Liberty 1.5 but I'm running Apex 1.4.0 now with zero problems.

Must have been a bad flash or something, because I've consistently gotten almost 2 days of moderate use. It drains like 10% over a period of 8 hours overnight.

Battery life is amazing with CM 7! By this time with CM 6.1.1 or Liberated Sense FroYo I was charging my phone, but Im at about 60% with CM 7.

Damn, almost makes me wish I had a CM-supported device.

Im gonna make sure my next phone has cm support, it looks like the atrix and sgs2 won't support it due to their locked/proprietary bootloaders, hope htc has some dual core goodness up its sleeve.
