when will CyanogenMod 6 come out?

anyone know when will CyanogenMod 6 come out?
expecting!

There are already roms available based on CM6 beta nightly builds. This time around experimental releases are in better shape than most full releases from the past IMHO.

It's just arrived on the g1 forum, so hopefully some kind individual will give us the 32a port soon.

For now, you can use briancrook port for 32A (it comes from nightly builds)

Does this port work?

It works but it has a problem with the market, it FC after installing an app.
The rest works like a charm, faster than 2.1

I'm using Pershoot's 576MHz OC kernel/port for 5.0.8 and it works fine.

I encourage someone to correct me if I'm mistaken... but I think that by doing that you just reverted your kernel to an older version.
Is your kernel 2.6.34? If not then you just failed.
It may be running just "fine" but you are still lacking some 2.2 Froyo.

Oh... and I'm going to move this to General because no one is posting a ROM like the OP is requesting. This is for DEVELOPMENT, not Q&A.

You can find it in G1 Rom Development forum. It's 6.0.0 RC1 (Release Candidate)
I'm using it with my 32A (hong kong version) 12 hours ago.... very stable. For 32A port, just follow bcrook88 in Twitter or find it in the G1 thread

Cyanogen pushing out Evo RC1?

I think that Cyanogen is ready for an RC1 release of CM6
From Twitter -

vendor_cyanogen/froyo - Steve Kondik * 182d6c - supersonic: bump to RC1... http://bit.ly/aWFaEZ
WhooHoo!!!!

So excited, waiting for final release before I flash this to my EVO though. But he's making progress quickly!

I don't see how it will be any better than a nightly. If RC1 gets released tonight, it is nothing but yesterday's nightly + a few patches.

It just means that the code has progressed to the point where Cyanogen considers it to be RC1... from the last night's build it's running a lot better than the previous, most of the apps in the market are showing up now, and it just feels snappier.
What were you expecting?

Here is what I am expecting :
1. Now that it is stable true refinements can begin and that we can start tracking issues
2. One step closer to a final release

I believe you're going to get that with a RC release.
I would like my FM radio and wimax to work... but I'll still run CM6 with out it.

Couple of CM6 questions...
Questions:
I have full NAND root and flashed the stock rooted ROM... been waiting for a super stable CM6 with everything working (well, except for wimax). Couple of questions before i proceed:
- Is it necessary to flash the radios that comes with the CM6 builds? The radio I have now seems to be working fine and if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?
- How do I flash GAPPS? Just download the zip and flash it just like a ROM?
- Why doesn't cyanogen just package the gapps with the CM6 build... does this have something to do with his cyanogen project agreement with Google?
- When I do a NAND backup, does it include the radios?
Thanks!

Just a question. If his latest build was the rc, would it show up under a different name in a different place other than here http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/supersonic/? His newest build still has the same name progression as the nightly's.

From what i read in the git, it looks like he is taking the next nightly to rc1. The code was committed about an hour ago, not sure when the automated nightly ran....

the latest build is not rc1.

Hmmm. I'll flash the newest nightly and see if anything is majorly different. I guess we really won't be able to tell until cyan officially releases rc1 on twitter.

There's also a new video's shortcut on the home list page thing. Camera actually uses the entire screen while previewing; can't really tell any difference with recording video. Seems a bit snappier too, but it could just be in my head lol.

Dude...seriously? So the RC is a few patches from test builds, the Beta is a few patches from RC, the Gold is a few patches from Beta, SP2 is a few patches from Gold, v2.x is a few patches from SP2....
...when the hell do you get your software?

- he says you have to have the latest, but someone better qualified could probably answer this better
-yep
-google made him pull roms b/c the google stuff isnt open source. this is the workaround
-no, once you flash a radio its there

It's not an RC by ANY reasonable standard unless it's actually a release candidate. Release candidates don't have things broken. This release canidate would have 4g broken.
CM needs to hold himself to a higher standard. None of the CM6 rcs are actually RCs, and I really do not know why he is calling them that.

Im a twitter noob how do i view his feed of he has said and not others

Q&A
Is this CM7?
No, this is a build that started from AOSP. However, some of the fixes and few features have been derived from the CyanogenMod Team, including the CM kernel.

Totally sweet. Now you just need a 1.2 bootloader version. ;-)

I clicked on the gtab development section, saw Evervolv, and thought I accidentally went to evo development instead lol. Can't wait to try this out!

you really should indicate whether this is a 1.1 bootloader rom, or a 1.2 bootloader rom. it will alleviate many future problems that people have if they are flashing from the wrong bootloader.
it's only responsible to do so.

what bootloader do i need for install this rom
1.1 or 1.2

One of the slickest U.I.'s I have seen but most browsers and market quickly shuts down. I hope this can be fixed.

If you are using the following roms then you are still on BL 1.1
-Vegan froyo and GB
-Caulkin
-Tnt lite 4x or below- As I understand it, the version of tnt-lite that's on BL 1.2 is called Mountain Laurel now so anything else should still be BL 1.1. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.
-CM7
- All the CM7 variants
- Stock Rom 3588 and below
There's not that many ROMs that use BL 1.2 yet. Roebeets newer roms including Bottle of Smoke and Clemsyns combo with Roebeets BoS.
If you still have questions or I didn't list the rom you are on, I suggest reading the thread where you downloaded your rom...just to be safe.

Flashing now. Just wondering if the if the High Definition Video Hardware Decoding works on this? But so far looks awesome!

screen shots?

hd acceleration work?

Is anyone else have trouble opening a browser (other than Opera, which is the only one that seems to work with this ROM)? How about Market, which also closes as soon as it tries to load the list of apps...??? If these issues can't be fixed it will be a shame because this is the most visually appealing ROM outside of Honeycomb.

the difference between RC and nightlies is RC is considered (mostly) stable and users are allowed to post issues/bugs to the issue tracker. nightlies will never be allowed to post, but even RC1 users can. nightlies will continue to be built between stable releases (there will continue being nightlies after RC1/before RC2... and after RC2/before RC3--if there is an RC3--until the final stable build is released) until there is no longer a use for nightlies.

What about CM7 issues like battery drain?

Nightly #33 was on my captivate yesterday, #40 this morning, RC7.1.0 tonight, and by tomorrow, ... back to the nightlies. Stable for an instant.

wiki instructions clearly say to flash from Froyo, and those are the instructions to use

don't forget to backup /efs folder everyone. this fried my efs folder on the first install and i had to recover it from backup. working great now though with no /efs issues.
Edit: Not saying the rom did it or anything. Sometimes efs just gets rubbed the wrong way during a rom install and jacks up your imei.

Flashing from a froyo-based rom okay?

From what I know Buzz has never been dropped from CM7. There haven't been enough capacities to do the nightly builds for a while.
Buzz will never get any official CM9 support though as CM9 simply is made for devices with better hardware capabilities

Regarding your problems with CM7 versions: it definitely must be on your side as most of the people don't seem to have issues with CM7 (including me). For me it's pretty stable.
What problems are you facing? Any error messages? What exactly doesn't work?
