Hi,
I've searched but I didn't find this.
I've read that some phones never get a full "stable" release of cyanogen. I am currently running masters voodoo rooted rom but I quite fancy CM. Does it look like there will be a stable version, and does anyone have any idea how far in the future that might be.
Or is the current RC solid as a rock right now, or does it have bugs.
Thanks
Nexus S is a CM officially supported phone, it will certainly get CM7 final. I've been running CM7 RC1 since the day after I got my phone a bit more than a week ago, so far it works quite well and stable.

Thanks for your reply. I'll hang on then. I'd prefer to get the stable version. Any idea how long they think it will take. I've been on cm forum googling, but not getting anywhere.

Rule 1 of CM: Don't ask for ETAs.
Build #11 and above of nightlies are based on Android 2.3.3.
#12 probably seems the most stable. I'm using #13 and its fine for me although people have reported problems.
If you want pure stableness, it'd be RC1 but it is on 2.3.2

RC1 is just a nightly that was the line where they thought it was stable enough to promote. I don't think it's any more or less stable than any other nightly.

i know that its a nightly but its also the one that brought new features that the previous nightlies didnt have such as the new lock screen.
RC2 coming tonight.
I had a lot of problems with CM7, but I was running Honity, as well. My experience was one of instability. I switched over to Axura and like it a lot.

I tried Axura last night and didn't like it at all. Also tried cm7 nightly 14 and I wasn't keen on it either. So far I haven't seen anything I like better than masters deodexed 2.3.3, so I'm back on that.

Just out of curiousity, what didn't you like about Axura?
On a more related note, as a flashaholic I've flashed every ROM available for the Nexus S and CM7 is the one I use as my Daily Driver. I'm on RC2 and can't remember the last time I had a random reboot. The other ROMs I have NANDroids of to be able to go between are Stock 2.3.3, Axura, and MIUI (I'm waiting for it to become a little more fleshed out before I really give it a go as a daily driver).

I thought Axura was nice and quick. The thing that made me remove it was the font believe it or not. It looks good in the menus but it was bad for reading emails and other small text.

Did you try flashing a different font or using font changer for root on the market? If that was really your only complaint you can very easily change such things.

I didn't know about either of the options you mentioned and I might just try them. I have no idea where you get fonts to flash, or what format they need to be in, and do you flash them the same way you flash everything else??

So now that we've got all these ROMs under dev for the Saga, I'm looking for a close to vanilla experience as possible on my Saga (I know its weird, considering I have a nexus s for that).
I sort of want to see how this would run without all the weight on it.

i wonder how far he is into it.
Just got a used Nexus S (i9020t) coming from a Vibrant. The number of AOSP based ROMS over here is very refreshing. Anyone have a recommendation for a 2.3.5 ROM that is stable, easy on battery, and fast? (Hey, I want all three). I've been running cm7 on my Vibrant, so I'm familiar with that. Is the last nightly stable? What about the Kanged versions? Should I be swapping out kernels?
Basically I'm looking for a solid ROM that I won't have to (or want to) mess with for a while. Thanks for any suggestions.

Try a CyanogenMod 7 kang from Simms22 (you can get them on the CM7 Nightly thread): http://fitsnugly.euroskank.com/gigg...cm-7.1.0-RC1-NS-KANG-signed.09142011-0558.zip
Flash the Google Apps package: http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110729-signed.zip
Use the Trinity TUV kernel (it's broken at the moment, use this build from the 11th): http://morfic.euroskank.com/NS/TUV-Any-NS+4G-11092011.zip
CM7 is just... amazing. Use this for speed and very good battery.
I would recommend cm7 miui and Peter Alfonso. All very good roms. In my opinion Pete's rom has the best battery life but try them all and see what u like best. What works good for me may not work for u lol. Just try all the roms people on here said and see what works best for u

Im using CM7 ...but it is very disspointing me because of the battery..
just last for 10 hours..
I've been running Formels MIUI, it's on the devs forum here on the Nexus S, it seems to be stable compared to the stock MIUI and battery is better.
Still, I'm also looking for a Rom that improves the camera, recording still isn't as good as I wanted and sometimes I get the random freeze&reboot....
Ok, downloaded Trinity, booted to came wiped cache and dalvik and then flashed Trinity and rebooted. It booted with the Trinity boot animation, went to a black screen (as expected) and stayed there for 30 minutes. I expected that it could take a little time but 30 minutes was a stretch. Battery was at full.charge with USB cable connected.
Anyone have any idea's as to why it didn't work or should I just try it again? I grabbed the overclocked one earlier today and dl'ed it from my phone.

You should listen to what Kwes said... he is right you would have to revert back to about 3ish months ago kernels... new ones will not work with old versions of CM

Exactly. The kernels get updated with the nightlies not the "stable" releases. You could actually probably go back a month or so because that's the last time the kernel changed I think.

I get what you're saying now. I thought you were thinking that I was running CM nightly.
As an update, I tried the earlier version listed on his website and that didn't work either thought I did something interesting.
I decided to just restore the boot from my nandroid (half as an experiment) and that resolved it not booting. Now I looked in the actual zip for the kernel and there are a few files which are system files but the actual kernel I guess doesn't remain since the kernel version is no different.
Another interesting factor is that there is now boot sound, which I saw on another thread being talked about so, if it's a matter of a few files why hasn't someone (outside of CM team) just upped the files with the needed code in them?
So, now back to me getting trinity on this thing, I guess I should just install the latest nightly and see if that works. I'm at work right now so if I have customers I can't be watching my phone.
When I run cm I always use the gigglebread kangs they are always pretty good and very stable.

I'll try that, I assume you mean here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1362451.
I'm also going to wait to grab it, I'm still throttled until tomorrow or hte next day. I still need to call them and ask why I had data on 2g count against my "High-speed" data usage.
Also, I noticed that my wifi tether doesn't work, not a huge deal, just means I need to have some more time on my hands to see what those files do exactly. That or make someone I know do it for me....

Trinity kernel is not compatible with that release. There's no reason to run that release anyways, go get baldwinguys CM7 kang, which isn't really a kang and is just adding the nightly features because cyanogens bot is down.

Funny, when a friend of mine mentioned he was running a nightly my replay was something to the effect of: I don't mind having my web browser be a nightly release but I'm not too sure I want to have something potentially unstable that barely works on my phone. I also feel like I'm missing something on these nightlies, afaik, you have to completely wipe your system and flash it then reinstall all your apps, reconfigure them, and reconfigure your system settings. That's just too much work, I don't have the time to do that even weekly.

Nah nightlies are as stable or more stable then rc builds on cm7. No need with all that wiping really. Unless you are going to something other then cm7 or you change your file formats.

This phone can run CM9 w/ no problems. Feb has proven that to us. It's going to go to a 4.0 Source code drop of this phone, or the DHD to get it before we see a stable build for it.
This is pretty exciting news imo. Any indication the CM team hasn't forgotten about our device, the better. I am curious about getting into the nightly routine but I have really liked using TDJs KANG when I use CM. Mostly because I almost always get better battery life on his kernels.
On that note, does anyone know where to download the Darkside X kernel he packaged with the 7.2 KANG? The kernel thread he links to only has 12 and 12.5. I can't find it in the my touch forums for the life of me. The only similarly named thing is in his new Samsung device forums but it clearly states in that thread that he compiled it from Samsung code so that can't be the same one he bundled with our KANG can it?
I supposed a more experienced user or amateur dev can extract the kernel from the KANG and make a flashable version so I can use it with the nightlies; but I would never ask for such a thing.........

I think they didn't want to just throw away CM 7.2 before jumping into CM 9. Plus there are certain things that don't work, such as the camera, that I don't think the CM team would push out a build without things like that working at all. I doubt we'll see a stable release before HTC drops any ICS source code.

Nope, nothing resembling a kernel named Darkside X for glacier. Doesn't seem like anything on there was updated in the past 2 months though.
There are 3 possibilities I see as to an explanation.
1 - the kernel is 12.5 with almost nothing different. Enough to warrant a different version title but not enough to establish hosting it as it's own new thing.
2 - it's the Samsung kernel and it's compatible with the mytouch (doesn't seem likely but his kernels have magically been cross-compatible before [g2] so who knows).
3 - it's a current version but mislabeled. That seems so unlikely from what I know of this dev that I won't even entertain such an idea.
I haven't noticed a world of a difference from this "darkside x" kernel versus the kind of performance I got on the 12.5 so I will just pretend the darkside x is some anomaly and be more than happy with using 12.5.
CM9 is way to far from a lot of devices, only devices getting official nightlys are the nexus phones (crespo, toro and the new galaxy nexus ) thats why they are developing cm7, cyanogenmod needs to re-write all the code becuse google makes a lot of changes in ICS

Calling and texting also work good. No issues yet. Still an alpha so you may have issues with other programs. Chances are that we don't have the same stuff. Only thing is overall phone volume has been low since I first flashed CM9 two months ago. Easy fix was downloading a volume boost app.

r4ins is going to keep up with the AOKP Jellybean project since armyvet is not, and gmillz will also probably keep building on their ROM. I'm on the 8/5 with the 1a chopsticks base and InstigatorX 6.2 kernel. If you're experiencing a "choppy" feel, check out either the Darkside or InstigatorX kernel and pick a good frequency governor. That can help a lot. On any of these early ROM's you're going to still get FC's and reboots.. they're Alpha's. If avoiding that is the most important thing to you, I would stick to CM9, Chimera, SkyICS, or a similar ICS ROM.
