They got the FM radio working on the N1? Looks like it's time to move up from 6.0 RC3! Some nice other features added as well.

I have it, and definitely love the new features. The powerbar in the notifications is amazing.

The "Torch" app that came on my DINC is awesome too. Strobe light FTW!


Bluetooth is a bit buggy for me, but I suppose it's always been that way.

its got issues with any app that uses location based services, namely, they all fail to install.

foursquare, google maps, gps status all working fine here. I've been using it since it was released.

i tried out FM once in my apt, but reception was pretty shitty so i gave up. don't know if it's the phone, my location, or the rom. not much use to me anyway.

Downloaded and installed while sitting here at work. Haven't had much time to play with it yet, but no complaints so far.

RC3 seems to be working fairly well for me as well, no major issues with it that I've found so far. Flashed this morning.

Of course, I noticed a few hours ago that cvps has announced the Gems are going to have a 2.0 release very soon, possibly with the Obsidian Droid X build.

I have had RC1 on my Hero for the last couple of days, I like it better than 6.0. It crashes less and feels quicker.

Used it for a while on my EVO but was generally to buggy for me. Ended up going back to Fresh. Killer was issues with the market.

I'm using the Rodriguez MIUI Rom (Not Cyanogen) on my N1 and it friggin rocks. The screen is super smooth and it takes little memory. Not to mention it also has the fm radio and lots of other goodies by default.
The only drawback I see is the facebook pictures are not applied to the contacts list in the English version.

i know..i've only seen RC1, and RC2 for dinc. what phone do you have?

Droid 1. The RC versions seemed to come pretty quick, I saw RC2, went back the next day and RC3 was up.

After using RC3 on my phone, its quite nice. A smooth as Sapphire was for me, and I do not see the god awful home screen redraw lag on it any more. Downside is, I'll have to wipe and install 6.1 Final pretty soon. :p

Also, cvps is putting the final touches on GEM 2.0 releases, so I may have to take those for a spin too.

It's cvpcs :)

I'm interested to try his new build too, I run compiled nightlies of CM usually. I've got the rotary lock cvpcs brought back compiled in to my CM build now.

I just put 6.0 on my hero -- 1st time rooting my phone. It seems *WAY* faster than stock Android 2.1. It's quite stable as far as I can tell. When does it crash for you?

Running it on my n1 with WildMonk's new kernel release and this thing sings with smoothness. Battery life is good too (primary reason I didn't end up using CM6.0).

Roaming data detection seems broken though. I caught my phone using data while roaming even though I have it set not to =(. Have been manually turning off data usage when roaming using the handy dandy MIUI style notification screen controls but I hope this will be fixed when the final version comes out.

Battery does seem a touch better, unless running angry birds and then my god it drops fast! One of these days I'll stop being lazy and install it from scratch so it will stop crashing on me.

I upgraded my Droid Incredible from 6.02 to 6.1RC2 yesterday. So far, I see this:

-Slightly improved battery life, but I borked my previous install somewhere after installation
-I can now see both storage locations when connected to a PC
-I've had a few times where a reboot was required (getting app run errors). Still trying to see a pattern.
-The status bar improvements are great
-Can't install new youtube. Not sure if this is related or not.

It's odd. When I had the 6.0 RC I had no issues, but when stable came out and I upgraded I got crashes in a few of my apps and even had to remove the battery to reboot at times. Its now fixed. Maybe it was a bad install, but who knows.
