anyone using cm7.2 rc1 yet? i've been trying to download it, but it's really slow. Been pretty happy with the nightlies so far, and am looking forward ot cm7.2 stable (and cm9 stable of course)
any new bugs that i should be aware of before flashing? I'm not too android savvy, so any tips are appreciated.
thanks
I'm trying to get it too, many people have same issue. The CM servers are hot these days
As far as i know there might be some issue with ringtones when stored on sd card...?
You can check official 'bugzilla'
I did dig but didnt find anything to worry.
tried the official update but it was "meh"
almost same with the nightlies, minus some features from nightlies
I went back to euroskank nightly instead
i suggest using the newest nightlies, 'cause they have some bugs fixed, which RC1 don't. You should see the CM7.2 RC1 thread, there is a .torrent link which is running full speed, opposite to their sever
I'm downloading now will share my experience once I'm done!

Just wondering what ROM people say is the most stable and dependable. I've heard 201 is the best out right now. Opinions?

At the moment I'd say the most problem free is MiRaGe. None of the stables or nightlies have the latest SOD fix in plus other fixes for things like phone signal icon showing up.
MiRaGe has these fixes in plus some other optimizations.

+1 for MiRaGe.
Merry Christmas
MiRaGe for me with the mods suggested. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
+1 MiRaGe.
Since no more official CM nightlies are coming, I've also started using Mirage off SD boot. No problems so far.

I have done 2 Nooks with this and have found it pretty good except I can't seem to apply updates per the normal process. Haven't needed to yet (didn't use the updated theme because it wouldn't apply)
@bobstro CM tweeted awhile back (shortly after AOSP released ICS source 4.0.1) that stable CM 7.2 was in the works still. I believe they are finalizing stability issues while also working on the new CM9 simultaneously. It's just that most devs are playing with the new source right now, getting preliminary work done to set up CM9.
But as far as recommendations go, Mirage Kang is solid. Just be sure to rename phone.apk to phone.apk.bak for increased battery life.
I also recommend LauncherPro, however, with this ROM, I cannot get versions newer than 0.8.3 to install.

I'll definitely check it out when it becomes available. n253 was giving me grief that Mirage seems to have cleared up in the meantime!

I'm definitely looking forward to checking out CM9 as well.
Hey guys,
I grabbed myself an NC about a week ago. I've put in CM7.1 right after the first try of the stock firmware.
After going through the forum threads and reading all the (mostly) positive feedback of users trying out nightlies, I'm considering of putting one myself instead of the CM7.1 Stable.
Question is, though, whether I can except a user experience that will be at least equivalent with one of the current nightlies.
I know the question is an oxymoron itself, since nightlies cannot guarantee any "stability". However, as I have concluded from reading many threads here, they do have their virtues.
So, after clarifying that I'm aware of how absurd it is to expect a definite answer, I wondered if there is currently a nightly build that can offer me an at least equivalent (and preferably better) user experience than the current 7.1?
Thanks in advance.
That all depends on what you use your NC for or how you use it. If you just want to use it to read, watch Flash videos and/or other videos, play games and work on documents and stuff then I would say you've already got that with CM 7.1 stable.
However, if you want to get in the trenches with a CM9 nightly group and assist with discovering issues and/or bugs and having to flash new updates or fixes or "hacks" but not really get full use out of your NC that you have today until they get to a stable version then you could certainly go try one of them.
It just all depends on what kind of "user" you are of your NC.
Well, I need my NC in a usable state, since it's my primary (and only) tablet device.
By 'usable' I mean that I'd like a responsive UI, WIFI and browsing capabilities; games would be alright though I'm not a hardcore user (i.e. I don't o/c).
I would love to contribute with reporting bugs, as long as my NC could cover those basics.
Is it possible to boot the nightlies from a SD, while keeping my 7.1 on the emmc?
I've yet to try a CM 7.x nightly that left my device in an unusable state. I have had issues with the Android Market not working, spurious display of cell signal and other relatively minor annoyances. Most of those become apparent in the first hour or so, so if they're a problem, I can easily roll back in a few minutes.
I am a big fan of CM 7.2 RC0 Mirage.
The most stable is 7.1, if you want a everyday driver with no problems then 7.1 is what you want. Ics9 nightlys are in progress but are pretty stable as well, its better to flash the rom and see for yourself first hand...make sure you backup first. Also flash the gapps, I've been running ics for a couple weeks with no problems. Hope this helps

I would highly recommend at least the Mirage Kang CM7 builds. I have also jumped into the CM9 nightlies and haven't been disappointed. ICS is really slick and my NC is very usable. I can't say for sure about all apps/games, but the ones I use (mainly reading & web surfing) work great.
Like previous people said, backup your current rom, and try flashing either the latest Mirage CM7 build, or the latest CM9 nightly. I would almost recommend trying out CM9 since that's the future, and you can go back to CM7 if you come across a show-stopper.
Yeah, you can dual boot different roms, there are a few threads on that although I've never done it myself.
I just switched from CM7 n253 to the Mirage KANG builds and have enjoyed the experience and would recommend it. I would not recommend n253 as there were some bugs that really bothered me, but they're fixed in the KANG build and it seems to be reasonably stable. Most of what I do is reading / internet browsing / music streaming.
I really am greatful for all your patience about my very obscure demands
BTW, if I do get it on emmc (not dual-boot), can I use a backup app (for example: Titanium) to backup my 7.1 data and pass it to the nightlies, or will it be incompatible with those?
I believe you should be able to backup the app data. Going from 7.1 to the Mirage CM7 builds will be safe.
I actually did install CM9 over CM7 without any major issues. There were a couple apps that would force close but clearing their data or just removing/reinstalling seemed to fix that.
What method did you use when you installed CM7 to Mirage CM7?
Also, is there a method of doing that via Rom Manager?

Download mirages build put it on your sdcard, go into Rom Manager and select install from sdcard select mirage's zip and voila. You can update it by just wiping davlik cache, if you encounter any problems it might be wise to do a clean install, which you can do from Rom Manager too, selecting to wipe system and data. Remember to always backup your apps using titanium backup and/or backing your rom.
I've dusted off my NC after a few months packed away. I'm pondering loaded a new rom/kernel/whatever. Unfortunately, I haven't kept up with what's available and cool development advancements, etc. I'd appreciate some recommendations on the latest and greatest stuff. I'm currently running CM7 with Dalingrin's OC kernel that I got last June. I'd like to get something with bluetooth support (heck, for all I can remember, what I currently have supports bluetooth).
Anyway, thanks in advance for any recommendations.
I am dualbooting from EMMC. CM7 Mirage Kang and CM9 with Open GL. I do not update CM9 that often because it is in alternate and takes about an hour to update total. I do update when a new CM7 Mirage Kang comes out though.
Installing the dualboot setup is a breeze updating primary is a breeze too. It is just a pain for me to update alternate.
Thanks. I'm curious, can you tell me what Mirage Kang is? And what does Open GL buy me? If I wasn't going to dual boot, would you recommend CM7 or CM9?
Definitely Kang, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
CM9 isn't even officially in Beta testing yet.

Mirage Kang http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873 is just a modified build of CM7 that is updated when any useful release is released. So it's not a nightly thing. I love it!
As far as CM9 open gl, I think it has something to do with movies and such. It is not enabled by default on the CM9 nightly so I don't think it would hurt.
I would recommend CM7 Mirage Kang if you are not going to dualboot as CM9 is not really ready for prime time. I have it on mine because it is not hurting my current set up. I actually have alot more space on CM7 than I did when I wasn't dualbooting. I would recommend repartitioning so you have more space for apps and games on EMMC. I would use the 1.96gb scheme as found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1094371 .
Please also note that dual booting is not limited to CM7 and CM9 but it works for almost any combination. Stock, CM7, CM9, MIUI (did I spell that right) etc. So maybe run a rooted stock and CM7 on the same machine.
Thanks a million, zires. I've now got myself a zippy new Mirage Kang Nook with the supercharger and everything.
I had to come back after using this for a while and comment that the battery life is amazing compared to what I used to get. Thanks again.
Anyone jumped from the current EOS 1.0 stable to the nightlies lately? Or vise versa.
I'd love to know how it went if there was any differences.
I've been happily on 1.0 for months but interested to see if there's any worthwhile improvements.
wingray 91 is great, and seems very stable.
I love the nightlies, especially #91, which is ICS 4.04, with their latest mods. Going from stable was same as from a nightly for me, just remember to flash the nightly along with the latest gapps, before you get out of rom manager, and make a backup prior to install that way you can always go back to how you were.

Hi everyone.
I´m using right now CM7 by Quarkx (last nightly), I was thinking about switch to CM9 but I've found a post from user skeevy420 who mentions CM7 Kang. Can anyone tell me what version is this, advantages over Quark's version and installation procedure.
If anyone can give the links to the latest version of this rom and gapps working for this one that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

You can find skeevy's cm7 kang here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1755200
I've been using it as my daily use rom and I get over 24 hours without charging. (just a guess because I charge it overnight when it's still at 40%)
You can find latest gapps by searching on Google.
He's only put out one version of the cm7 kang and it's super stable.
My suggestion is to keep using cm7 until cm10 is stable, if you're just looking for a day to day rom. Welcome to Bravo.
