[Q] Is it wise to wait for stable cyanogen mod

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.

Nightly #13 is just as stable as rc1 at least for me anyways

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??

Been using RC2 with no issues ... love it.

Sonny has a few on his theme thread over in that section and yes its just like flashing s theme or a kernel except you do it last. Just give font changer a shot it's free

Why don't you try it at the specific rom section? Guess you can get there better results! AFAIK CM has an own homepage. Try it out. I'm not allowed to post URL-Links

I am very excited about CM9 and can't wait for a stable version of the rom. I'm guessing it won't be too long now until it is here.

CM9 has a own thread i think. It's still in development. A great System don't fall from the sky...

Im running the still beta on my desire from the desire forum here at xda and its the best android experience ive had so far. Never has my phone been this smooth and fast. And it seems pretty stable already too. So the future looks bright indeed.

Yes, cyanogenmod has their own website, but for a while now they haven't posted any updates on a stable build being released. You can find the beta if you do a google search though.

@appadict, you have not mentioned your handset model.

[Solved] Remove thread requested

I have been running Elite Mod and then gummy nex for over a month now I believe but now the flashing junkie inside of me is coming out and I'm urged to see what other development is going on. So what is everybody running these days? I wanna try something new for a while. I was thinking about the ICS MIUI or swamp goblins dianxin port that is similar to it, I love the MIUI look and style. I know that I will in fact end up going back to GummyNex after a while I just wanna check something else out for a bit and calm my flashing urges. Lol. So any opinions?
Edit: Flashed a couple other roms and needed around with them for a bit. Decided none could live up to Gummy so I went back. Lol. Anyways. This thread is now useless. Mods please delete.

Well, first of all....YOU! Welcome Back, my friend! I sure do hope that hand has healed up nicely with no future problems for you.
So, what do we want for Christmas, eh? I'm probably an easy one but I'm going to say it anyway. I would LOVE to see you resurrect Wildchild ICE into AOKP Wildchild Ice Cream & Jelly Sandwich with possibly another seldom seen launcher installed like perhaps the one for the LG. I HAVE seen that one and it's VERY nice, IMHO.
Oh yeah, and WELCOME BACK!!!:good:

How about cm 10.1?

I also had some phone problems lol.....so I ordered a replacement last week and rooted/full S-Off'd yesterday. So I'm back on the scene

Ideally, a wildchild ice that has great battery like the previous ones, but with cm 10.1 and the latest AOKP. And of course it should work well with scverhagens kernels.
Glad to see you're back!

We-we-we-welcome breaker. I mean... Welcome back!
Any ROM which has awesome battery life and smooth performance is fine by me. Thank you.

I know I'll get flamed for this but the latest Sense that works with JB...
I have been enjoying Virtuous on ICS lately and it's time for a change.
Sent from my myTouch 4G Slide using xda premium

I wouldn't mind a JB Sense rom, but we'd need a kernel just as good as our AOSP one to match
Maybe you could revive your CM/AOKP hybrid, it was one of my favorite ICS roms

I'd love to see a JB version of WiFi calling.

Oh, a Sense4+ JB ROM would be the *&*^! :fingers-crossed:

Maybe I'm the oddball, but I'd like to see an extremely stable AOSP ROM for Gingerbread. Since the source code has been released, I think that would be a relatively easy ROM to make. I'm still seeing some issues with the ICS and JB ROMs I'm running. I have a tendency of running an ICS/JB ROM for a while, then switching back to GB because of it's stability.

I wanna see Paranoid Android 3+ compiled for our device.

maybe I'll go for paranoid first because that will be the easiest (not necessarily easy, but easiest lol). Then I'll re-tackle WildJelly that was never released from it not being done. WildJelly is basically a Jellybean version of WildchildIcE :fingers-crossed:

Yey! Another one comes back... Well for me I'm quite satisfied of the ROM I'm using now But I'm really interested with the multi account feature of JB 4.2 so yeah a 4.2 ROM would be my wishlist so I can try it out.

Sense 4 or even an unimaginable sense 5..lol

Just curious, why do you want a 3.4 kernel in particular?

I just love the sense based Roms specially because of the amazing camera app, it takes wonderful shots; but I didn't find a stable one with satisfactory battery life time uptill now!
I changed the stock gingerbread rom just because it didn't support Arabic I tried all the patches but they never worked.
Anyway, my dream rom for that phone would be a stable sense based JB or Kitkat rom that don't drain the battery in 3 hours ; )

Is there a stable and light rom?

Hi all!
I'm using an HTC One S, and I tried some different roms.
I tried Pacman, Paranoidandroid, but they're a little bit heavy and full of features I'll never use, and the battery doesn't last too much.
So I tried CodenameLungo, Slimroms and Carbon, and they're light and the battery use is amazing... but most of them are based on nightly release, and they're not stable. Sometimes they freeze, sometimes the sim card stop to work, sometimes I have to reboot 'cause wifi doesn't work...
And actually I'm looking for a stable and light rom... does it exist?
Waiting for any suggestion (except for Sense based rom, it's too heavy!).
Thanks a lot!

Beanstalk

I'm using holo black bean 2.3. So far its been 100% stable for me over the past few weeks of heavy use. Most stable non sense ROM I've used. Not sure its as light as you want but the less features you use the faster the rom will likely be especially over time.

That's my advise, too. Almost vanilla Android. Latest stable for ville is 10.0 (4.1.2) and RC2 for 10.1 (4.2) is out.

Jengirl ... I've been a pure android guy since putting my old Diamond to rest. A couple of months ago, had finally had enough of Sprint, sold the Nexus S 4G, and picked up a One S for TMobile. Immediately installed CM10, and after a few weeks tried Code Lungo ... same as you, just had annoying little issues. Finally decided to run stock 4.1.1, but without all the unnecessary TMo bloat and with a stripped down, light version of Sense. Ever since, this sucker simply flies ... without any lag. What made the difference was Rom Cleaner, that I customized to meet my needs. By the way, in addition to being fast without lag ... everything works!

I'm also on holoblackbean 2.3 & this thing is stable & it flies. No complaints. I want to switch to Odyssey when this one gets buggy or it let's me down.... It never has.

I tried odyssey and i had frequently loop reboot, so i passed to cm10.1.3 rc2 band it seems a bit more stable

Definitely can't confirm any reboots on odyssey. Try fresh install after 3x full wipe.... Running very smooth and stable here...

I've made the wipes but nothing has changed: I think it is a kernel instability problem

And as soon as I can I'll try Beanstalk too and romcleaner.
Thanks again!

Just wanted to give a suggestion to try a specific build of CM 10.1. Look for this under "M snapshot": cm-10.1-20130304-EXPERIMENTAL-ville-M2
I've been using it with no issues for a few months now and everything works.

Why use a monthly snapshot when there are more stable release candidates available?
Sent from my One S using xda app-developers app

Best stable, light ROM for me after trying all ROM's is [ROM] SourcE v1.4 | Audio quality | Smooth | [Unsense MOD]
Everything works with just the right amount of mods, especially the sound mod is best for me. Until I can safely update firmware for 4.2.2 Sense 5 this is best ROM for stability.

Beanstalk gets my vote, CM based and very smooth

Because, in my experience, oddly enough the most recent RCs have actually been less stable than the snapshot release. :/

Here's a copy of my user text for Rom Cleaner. Using it will make the rom fly, while keeping the important parts of Sense (ie: great camera, etc).
