This is for my GF's myTouch 4G ( )
I currently have the CM7 02-04-2011 nightly on her phone, but she's been experiencing some random reboots lately, so we're looking to wipe and re-flash.
Which version would you recommend? Does the current nightly (31) have any new features that she might miss out on, or new bugs?
Stability is more important for her, unless there are some new amazing features (or somehow the nightly is more stable).
Anyone have any input?
I can only comment on the glacier front.... but it's better than nothing.
I've been flashinf cm7 since alpha builds and have only had 2 re-boots.
Recent build is running very well. I'd flash the nightly and do a full wipe... flashboot -w if you are still having problems after a fresh install.
Very stable rom imo.

Thanks. That's good to hear. Any differences between the latest nightly and the RC2 that you know of?
quite a few...new gpu drivers and profiles to name a couple

Interesting. Any show-stopping bugs or instability issues?
When I first loaded the newest Nightly build, (the 31st?), idk but it was released on the 26th of March, phone kept auto locking every 10 seconds or so. I rebooted once and it has been super stable ever since. Its only been a couple days but I have not run into any bugs. Although, for the MT4G I had go into the settings and enable "wake phone with roller button". I'm fairly new to all this stuff so I am still trying to figure out what my voicemail number is so I can manually put that in. Otherwise this baby is running smooth and I am very happy.

Ooh, awesome!
Man, I really wish there was some sort of changelog in between these versions for the major features.
[Edit]: Ah, yes! http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=glacier
Watch out when using the Netflix update if rooted runing gb...keep the old version (or make a backup) I believe its 1.2.0. They seemed to have blocked access to gb roms on our Inc. Just fyi. Made the mistake already luckily I had a backup.
Running cm nightly #90
Update:
http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/26/netflix-removes-device-check-should-work-on-all-android-devices/
Seems Netflix is trying to be nice. Wonder why its hit or miss?
I'm using CM 7.03 and just upgraded Netflix (1.2.1) and have no problems using it, movies still play, everything works as normal.
Well ..me and so far plenty other on droidlife are reporting unusable after update.
I'm using nightly 90

http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/2...ice-check-should-work-on-all-android-devices/
And then this happens.hmmmm wonder what's going on.
I'm using the last stable cm7 and it still works.
Nightly 88 (I think), updated version working.

I know Netflix doesn't work with the new GingerSense ROMs, and the Droidlife article talks mostly about it not working on the Thunderbolt which I believe has the new Sense 3.0 on it, maybe thats the problem not Gingerbread.
Everything running fine for me on CM nightly also. The update actually relaxes the device check it didn't clamp it down further. Maybe uninstalling and clear data before reinstalling, permission fix if rooted, etc, might fix it for those with issues.
EDIT: Well, unless you're running a gingersense that is... I tried again last night with no luck still.
I'm running liberation v2 and I can load nexflix and view my recently watched and instant queue but wont load videos. It keeps on force closing. Its definitely not a sense 3.0 problem.

Yup, it seems every version of Gingersense is getting the same results for some reason. I was hoping the new update would change that but no luck.
Can't even install it from the market.. says insufficient storage
I was having issues with the new update where it seamed like the app wasn't loading correctly or even at all at point, aka just showing a blank white screen, but it turns out that it just took an incredibly long time to load.
DINC with CM7
Thanks first to XDA developers and alot of hardworking people.
I have downloaded from this site about a dozen different versions of the netflix app, including several versions posted after 6/21. None of them seem to work on the incredible 2 I own. I can get the app to install, I can log in to Netflix, I can select a movie, I can start it, but, all I get is audio and a white screen for video.
I have scanned through several forums and I see this is not an unusual problem, and the only possible solutions I have been able to understand seem to involve cracking the phones operating system and going in and messing around with various files and user supplied patches. Reluctant to go into the deep water without a lifeguard and phone still under warranty. Does anyone have a link to an APK that has been tested on the incredible 2 and found to be satisfactory? Thanks for all replies. If I found something will post here.
I'm running CM7.0.3 stable and Netflix 1.2.2 and it's working fine.
I have seen this asked a couple times but have not seen a good answer. Can anyone answer these questions?
- Are the Google apps in the EOS build/G-Apps package the same version?
-Are there features in the official ICS build that are not implemented or working yet in EOS builds?
-Other than root/OC capabilities are there features in EOS builds that are not in the official release? (I think facial recognition is one feature skipped in the official release)
-General stability differences?
I apologize if this has been answered. I tried reading through hundreds of pages in the EOS nightly thread and passed out sometime around page 170.

Hi HuckFinn, longtime, no see.
I'm extremely happy with EOS wingray ICS (I'm on build 36/GApps v10.1). Only bugs I see are caused by apps that are not yet compatible, and they're being updated daily.
I can't see any advantage to going to the trouble of going back to stock to flash this official beta when there are great alternatives that won't break your root. Unless playing Gameloft games is more important to you...there seems to be intermittant license recognition issues.
There are more features and things working with EOS than the stock update. EOS quick settings, battery theme options and more. Stock ICS won't ever see that. Plus micro USB otg is much more functional on EOS.

Yeah I have been pretty quiet on the forums lately. I am currently running the stock ICS update that was posted by solarnz just to see how it runs. I am missing root and all of the other Tiamat/EOS goodies so I am very tempted to install the latest nightly build. The stock ICS is running pretty smooth and I like the latest stock browser and gmail applications. That is why I am wondering if all the Google apps are the same version.

Gapps are the same (this whole new ics experience apps). EOS has been improving very fast, but I rarely check for updates no (still on version 34a). I think you'll love the EOS version, especially if you're coming from the early ics release.

I also am running the stock ICS update from HTK75D - just love it. I may go to a custom ROM, but the stock ICS runs so well, I'm not sure I see a compelling reasong to do so. There are people on this board, though, that continually criticize people who stay on stock - they need to give it a rest, IMO, some people like me just want a tablet that works, and not interested in loading nightlies to see tweaks every day.
If you want to root from 3.2, let me know via PM (I've posted in several threads and don't want to be a "cross-poster") - there are a few changes to the published rooting procedures needed; the last OTA intentionally added a script to overwrite a custom recovery partion. I did not identify the problem or create the fix, but can describe it more concisely that you might see elsewhere. Easy to get around.......
No Face Unlock on stock?

Correct. Was looking forward to the novelty.
Well I went ahead and installed build #38 over the weekend. It went very smoothly with no problems.
-Unlocked
-Flashed CWM Recovery
-Rebooted into recovery (nothing special, just hit vol- after 3 seconds)
-Perfomed a wipe
-Flashed EOS nightly
-Flash Google Apps 10.2
-Rebooted and all was good
I then used Titanium Backup to restore all my Apps/App Data and was back up and running in no time.
I had no major issues with the stock build. I just missed the extra EOS goodies and face unlock is a neat trick. If stock ICS is enough for you then I see no need to flash anything else. I was using Tiamat Moray and got used to the quick setting controls so was missing them.

Would you share that explanation and work-around for the script that came with the Honeycomb OTA update with me, please? I'd like to add it to the adb/fastboot/rooting guide, as what is in there now is confusing. I'm personally not familiar with the issue, so it would help to get the story from someone who knows. You'll get full credit, I promise.
And by the way, I'm glad the ICS stock update is working for you.

I thought it would be a novelty too, until I used it. I'm loving the face unlock, it's very fast and accurate. I did have to "improve" the recognition because sometimes I've got glasses or a hat on but now it only misses if I'm holding the Xoom at an off angle or in the dark. You do have to remember to hold the Xoom square when turning it on because the camera starts hunting for your face immediately.

Cyanogenmod 7.2 RC1
Could not locate any thread on this. Please post your feedback.
Euroskank have been releasing RC1 kangs since forever. Performance is fine, add-ons are nice. I love the ROM but it's not stable on crespo and crespo4g. Other devices are fine though.
I used one of the latest nightly's for a few days hoping they had fixed the stability problems, pulled my phone out of my pocket and found it bootlooping(dim/garbled boot animation loop, which was new to me as before I would just get the 'buttons lit up no responsive sleep of death' with previous versions).
I doubt 7.2 fixed anything with crespo.
Wish someone could figure out what the problem was as stock doesn't have these problems.
Love all the features and tweaks CM7 has over stock, but pulling the battery on a regular basis is not what I would call a stable release.
instability on a stable RC from CM is discouraging.
did anyone report this to CM team?
You can submit bug reports if you find anything broken in your device while running CM7.2-RC1 be sure to submit a report through here , so that they can fix it in time for the final 7.2 release.

It's a long standing issue with it, as far back as 7.0.3, probably even further.
It's hard to catch a log of the bootloops because they're don't occur in any discernible pattern that I know of.

Though there's many users available for logging. I've pulled a billion logcats of what was happening when it froze/bootlooped. When it freezes you can still adb to it.
Problem is no one seems really concerned over at CM forums, they'd rather add more stuff than root out 6+ months old problems. *shrugs*
Oxygen FTW. Never crashes on me.

100% agreed. Oxygen is the best GB rom. The best CM7 rom is probably cybergrmod. (The gb version)

Been runing the RC for 3 days now, no bootloops or freezing and great battery life so far.

I gotta say if you're going for CM7 based ROM, Euroskank kangs are awesome.
So i took the leap and had a go at rooting my phone yesterday,,, very nervous few minutes waiting for it to boot,,,,, but it did and I'm now rooted , used the AAHK and it was'nt so hard after-all, just follow the effen manual closely.
First rom i've tried is revolution HD and it works beautifully, faster and smoother than before for sure,,, also looking forward to flashing a few other roms .
One thing im not sure about though , ive created a nand backup and just wondered if i need to flash the associated rom before restoring the backup,, or can i just boot into recovery and flash the backup regardless of what rom im running ?
Yup. You can restore the backup at any time. If you have 4ext recovery you can just flash the backup without wiping. It does it automatically. Don't know about cwm...

So many roms to try out, not sure where to start, i guess stability is quite important to me and ARHD seems to do that quite well.

Welcome! I was in the exact same position as you 2 months ago, unsure where to start. I remember when stability was important to me... Not sure if you've seen it, but just FYI: the index sticky in the dev forums was very helpful to me when I first rooted.

Just a little advice..
It's always handy to have your apps backed up so that you can restore them to the ROM you are testing.
TitaniumBackup does a great job. You can backup the apps data as well as system data. But if you are restoring them to a different rom, u should not restore all system data because it will mess things up. However, restoring your apps (user apps) with or without data is harmless
Here's the link for the free version: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup&hl=en

Try JellyTime (android 4.1.1) and it is very fast n smooth... but wait for R10 release thats due any day as there's a few very minor issues with v9.1.... v10 should be close to perfection.

I am in a similar position. Recently rooted the DHD and now trying to decipher all the lingo on here and work out which roms to use. Is rather overwhelming.
First one I tried was the IceColdSandwich which was working pretty well till a few days ago when it has slowed down a bit. Im guessing it must be something I did. Gonna clear everything out and try again.
Thanks for the links guys, will check out all the information
Thanks guys for the helpful info,,
After you've flashed a few roms , it's not so difficult after all,, very easy actually,, with 4ext it's easy peasy.
Tried a few different roms now,,, think ARHD is my favorite so far although I tried jellytime and really like it a lot,,,
Love the notifications and overall style of it but not so sure about the camera, gallery and Apollo music apps,, love the HTC camera app.
Tried one of the sense 4 roms and I prefer sense 3.5 actually,,
Will definitely be keeping a close eye on how jellytime develops,,,

ARHD gives good stability and battery life, but mike hasn't been able to keep it updated very frequently.
Now he has a lot of other devices on which he released ARHD.

Some apps slow down the overall ROM, but some ROMs tend to slow down themselves after a couple of days of usage.
It could be that this is ROM related, you could ask in the ROM's thread, maybe someone is experiencing the same thing.
For some of you newer people, you might check out some of the links in my signature which are related to the HTC Desire HD.
well since ive first rooted its been an interesting journey,,, ARHD has been my main rom but ive been playing with jellytime the last few days,, its wonderfull,,,
What a kick in the teeth to HTC ,,, never mind ICS we already running JB , and it runs really well... i dont really see the need to upgrade my phone for another while yet,
i should have rooted ages ago
Trickdroid is a great Rom almost perfect
