Or a mods could have moved it because it doesn't belong in its old location.
Release Candidate CM6 would still be essentially be a daily build. There are still serious issues within CM6.

What "serious" issues would these be? Other than lack of 4G (which is totally worthless, in my opinion), I see no problems with the latest build. Now that we have a fixed Market and Facebook sync I don't see any reason not to use it as a daily (even though I was using it since release). Cyanogen fixed the major Bluetooth and wifi issues, so what's still horribly wrong?

On all the nightlies I flash to my Evo, i was unable to access my sound settings, the default Browser would immediately crash upon startup, the market would constantly act up (the updated version included), and my widgets would break after every restart.
That probably only happened to me, but I'd still consider them pretty serious issues. Serious enough to nandroid back to Fresh 1.01 for now, at least.

Signal issues and battery life as bad as stock rom.
I have tried them all and they do have numerous issues. I have gone to decks rom With sense. Both have bugs but its the lesser of two evils by far.
Sent on my cursed EVO
All of the froyo roms have bugs, I tried Avalaunch before I went back to DC, but as long as the proper warnings were on the first post I didn't see a problem with the thread, it was interesting to track the development. Anyway I thought it was annoying since I was trying to find out who on teamdouche was working on wimax for the evo so I could check out his github but it seems the original thread on general is missing :/
It's in Q&A.

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.

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
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.......

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.

I would recommend any of the Froyo roms that fishman0919 or Ryder are releasing. They are solid as they come and the GPS works perfectly which can be an issue on the later roms. I'm currently using the Bi-Winning Redux v1 without any problems overclocked to 1.3ghz and everything is buttery smooth and stable.
Yea, I would definitely go with a froyo ROM by fish or ryder man. They are rock solid

Since you are using an ICS ROM, maybe you can try CM9 nightly, which is stable enough for daily use, even for people with no dev experience.

I don't know man I wouldn't use a nightly if I was looking for stability, the whole point of nightly builds is that they are not stable and stuff gets fixed/broken on a daily basis. If you're really set on ICS go with ICZen, but even that isn't as stable as the froyo roms.
Since your friend is already on an ICS Rom, why not keep it at ICS? ICS is stable. Things that may not work: 911 calling, and GPS

x80 better than Passion.
You guys say these ICS roms are better than Passion buy I don't even see them on the development section. I'm mainly talking about x10 and ICZen. What's so good about them that make it better than Passion, because I'm using Passion right now and I don't have any problems but I am looking to switch over to active Rooms.

Although I've definitely heard of ICZen, which been my daily driver for months, I'm not too sure I know what rom you are referring to when you say "x10". I've never heard of it nor have I ever used it, thus I can't comment on that rom. However I can comment on ICZen and why it surpasses Passion and its... crumby (I believe that's an appropriate term to use) developers. Yes, Passion was pretty much the first highly popular ICS rom available for the Vibrant. I do give them props for that, however, I'm not sure if you've noticed but Passion is over four months old, development for it has been dropped, and its based on android 4.0.3. In contrast ICZen was last updated two weeks ago, is based on 4.0.4, and comes out of the box running the awesome subZero kernel. Unlike Passion, ICZen is based on AOKP, meaning it has all the bells and whistles that are also found in AOKP. This includes the theme engine, which gives you the ability to theme your phone with the click of a button. You can find a lot of nice themes for the theme engine both here and here. ICZen also sports Rom Control, which gives you more control over your device. The neat tweaks Rom Control offers ranges from being able to change the transparency of the status bar, to changing the battery icon, and even as far as to control the CPU. ICZen also receives support from two intelligent down-to-Earth developers, an awesome themer, and a whole community of people who know what the heck they're talking about. In conclusion, Passion may not have "problems", but don't torture your device with such an outdated rom made by developers many regard as... crumby... and instead get on board with some of the newer roms available! There's ICZen, AOKP, CM9, etc.
Thanks for the reply and I do agree with what you said. Passion is a great ROM but the devs do not give and have left xda. I'm definitely going to move to ICZ today.

the latest 4.2 slim rom works perfectly for me. I flashed subzero's build No 80 kernel on top and haven't had any problems yet what so ever. Getting 3 days on idle + GPS works even after deep sleep.

Glad to hear you're coming over to the Zen side.
I agree with the earlier posters with the fishman froyo ROMs, as I am still not sure about the stability of ICS roms. For daily use, I would like to have 911 and stable GPS.
I am quoting you not to single you out but to call reference to the same old addage of GPS/911.
You know, it really depends on what you want out of your phone. I mean, you need to ask yourself what do you want your phone to do. Do you want it to be a media hub? Do you want it to be a DLNA device? Do you use it to navigate through sh!tty traffic on your morning commute? These are all valid questions that YOU have to ask yourself.
Now down to brass tax. I agree with N00B's assessment of Passion and ICZen. Passion was all the rage when it first came out because we were lucky enough to get an "official" Froyo build, let alone a couple Kangs of Gingerbread. At that point the Vibrant was dead in the water. Then Neobuddy came out with Passion and all the incremental builds. Yes it was awesome to have an ICS ROM running and working on a device that the manufacturer said could not do it. Fast forward and Team Passion (TP from here on out) put out Euphoria (AOKP based) and was basically caught stealing ROM Control and renaming it Euphoria Control. Amends were made and development went on simultaneously with Passion. That had to leave a bad taste in their mouth because shortly after, TP started putting all their ROMs and work on their own site and not too much more on XDA (hence why many believed that Passion development stopped). BUT, they have put out a new ROM called Chimera which can be found on their website with instructions to flash.
Passion was great-at the time. Now that Google pushed out 4.0.4, there was a large amount of code cleanup that came with the tiny incremental numbered build. This was actually very important for the OS as a whole and now there are several ROMs that are based off the 4.0.4 build (AOKP, CM9, SLIM,...). But Passion is still on the 4.0.3 build. See where N00B was going with this in his post before?
I'm not saying that ICZen will be your best ROM you have ever run and you won't need to flash anything ever again. What I am saying is that if you are going to pick an ICS, at least pick one that is up-to-date, whether it be ICZen, Slim, AOKP/m6 or whatever.

Ahh, GPS. Well GPS is an issue and when the ICS ROMs were being pushed out, it was a hot-button problem for every one of them. Some work with this kernel and some work with that kernel. VIBRANT's GPS SUCKS. Get over it and move on. I say that with the utmost sincerity, meaning if you need to rely on GPS for work or something that is not trivial, get a Garmin or TomTom and use that. This is a phone and not a navigation tool (that is a side item).
911 is an issue and always will be. It just doesn't work right on anything higher than a 2.2 ROM and if it does, then it is sketchy at best. Take your chances and I am not supporting or damning it one way or the other. It is always better to have it and not need it, then need it and not have it. Here is my thoughts on Vibrant 911. When I was a kid, I was taught that if something bad happened and you were in a group, you were supposed to point to someone, make eye contact and say, "You, Call 911!". Now if you are in a car wreck or under the docks doing something swarthy, then you have bigger problems that your Vibrant's ability to dial 911. I am not joking and am not implying anything other than if I was ever in trouble and a ROM wouldn't let me dial 911, I sure as sh!t would be on the nearest person to get them to dial it.
Sorry for the long post but here it is.
tl;dr -> Figure out what you want your phone to do and then go from there.
Woodrube, I do agree with you, with respect to what you do want out of your phone. When I interpreted from the OP about using the phone daily, I interpreted it as their primary or possibly the only phone. I could be wrong in assuming this, but that is how I am using my Vibrant. When it is my primary phone, I do want GPS, and definitely 911 to be available. I see that a lot of people here actually use their Vibrant as their 2nd or 3rd phone, therefore, they are loading ICS ROMS and may not care as much about these services.
With GPS, I can see limited use with that. Especially given that google has location services via data. However, I have significantly improved lock once I moved to Bionic, where stock was not getting a lock for over 5 minutes. In a lot of the ICS discussions, I see that GPS either no longer works, or is unstable. That is why I didn't think ICS would be a good daily ROM, but I could be wrong.
As for 911, I understand what you mean, but it is a critical service that I would like to be able to depend on daily. 911 is for an emergency, and unpredictable. It is in these unpredictable times that I do want to have something reliable to depend on, and not depend on someone else who may or may not be there.
GPS is fixable if you mostly use GPS in the car via bluetooth external GPS receiver. You only need phone radio and bluetooth on - everything else off. This not only saves battery for your phone but improve lock and accuracy on gps. I got around 6-10ft accuracy and locked within 1s (the moment I turn it on).
4.0.4

try chimera v2.2..this is a killer ROM - A blend of AOKP, CM9 and CNA.
here is the link...http://www.team-passion.com/index.php/roms/galaxy-vibrant/19-chimera-v1-1

For GB: try cm7
For ICS: try either iczen (look in rootzwiki) or Chimera 2.2
For jellybean: Try hellybean

Im in the same boat as the OP. Am currently on ICS Passion and it is becoming painful to live with it anymore. So much lag. To make a call, just to get to the dialer can take me easily 5 plus seconds. When getting a call, the first 30 seconds are just 'Can you hear me now??'. Im just sick of it at the moment and like the OP am looking for something stable for a daily use. It has to be quick, no lags. Dont care about 911 but would be good if it was working and def want GPS working. I am thinking going Slim ICS but not sure yet. Good advice from earlier posts so I will look into a few of those as well

Tried to flash hellybean today but couldn't get the radio working. Wifi worked fine but that doesn't help me to make calls. Hard to get any feedback when I'm still trying to get my 10 posts. Back to CM7 aka "battery killer" for now...
Chimera_v2.2_Vibrant by far is the best and stable and fast rom i run into.....
I am new to Android (been an iPhone user for years), and am loving the Nexus 4 so far. I'm rooted the phone and installed a custom kernel (franco), and I've been thinking of possibly putting a custom ROM on my device. I see a lot of people using CyanogenMod but I don't see much info on what the benefits of this mod are.
I checked out http://www.cyanogenmod.org/ but it looks like there's only a few addons that are in there (theme support, dsp equalizer). Are there other benefits of this that I'm missing?
Check out the features of the ROM. Their website isn't very informative because it isn't updated to date with what's in the ROM nowadays.
When switching to another Rom I recommend using titanium back up to back up your apps so you can restore them afterwards and keep your settings.
Some highlight features,
- battery percentage
- notification tiles are more beneficial rather than shortcuts it actually toggles them on and off
- navigation bar changes. Customizable to your liking
- quiet hours
- wake phone using volume rocker
- lock screen tweaks. Add shortcuts, show battery percentage.
Etc etc. I recommend downloading the unofficial version of cm named jellybro found in android development as it contains commits not in the official build just yet.
Just download it you won't be dosappointed. Plus in older phones, cm is faster than stock and most of the times their manufacturer hasn't updated their stock Rom to Android 4.2 where cm has. That's why it's popular because of its maintenance of the project
Note: you need to flash gapps with cm. It contains Google apps. Can't be packaged with roms, is illegal.
Flash Franco kernel as well as cm

Check out the features of the ROM. Their website isn't very informative because it isn't updated to date with what's in the ROM nowadays.
When switching to another Rom I recommend using titanium back up to back up your apps so you can restore them afterwards and keep your settings.
Some highlight features,
- battery percentage
- notification tiles are more beneficial rather than shortcuts it actually toggles them on and off
- navigation bar changes. Customizable to your liking
- quiet hours
- wake phone using volume rocker
- lock screen tweaks. Add shortcuts, show battery percentage.

Where can I find the Jellybro? I assume it's more risky going with this rom seeing how those commits aren't in the nightly build version? The normal nightly build has an updater in it to pull down the most recent build right? Does Jellybro have the same?
Thanks again for your help, some people on here haven't been quite as kind

Never mind sorry about that, I found the thread in the forum, I was in the Original Development forum which is why I couldn't find it.

Most people assume that it's more risky. But it really isn't, it's a very stable Rom and is pretty much what it is. It's cm + early commits aka cherry picks. These early commits are not yet approved or merged by cm but they are pending.
Jellybro does not have it. It updates every day or every couple of day, when I used my galaxy Nexus it updated everyday. It all depends on who compiles it and when he does. You have to check for it using goo manager (not sure if still supported) or by the website. I just do it from the site and follow the guy on twitter and it's posted when it's up.
The kangers don't put random early commits either, they assure its working before it's uploaded. Not saying it's 100% perfect but I'd say it's perfect all the time. Never have any problems using it for a year and more.

Enjoy
I would really recommend Cyanogenmod with faux's kernel. I would also use system tuner or faux's app to tweak the kernel settings. I've tried a lot of ROMs/kernels and this is by far the best set up for me
