Downloading this sucker right now. I am so stoked to test this one out soon.

Im building v7.1 right now. It should have some decent fixes in it. 3G fixes, audio fixes, some apps are fixed, and more.....
You can wait if you want, but it wont be up for about 3 to 4 hours, maybe just a little less.

Wow, sorry but I am loving this build. I can't wait to see the upgraded version.
How did you get that HTC Sense clock onto it?

Got some last minute changes, so I wont have it up this morning, but it should be up later this afternoon.

Thats actually Fancy Widget Pro 1.0.8 with a themed flip clock applied to it. I take it you want it! lol You cant have it! Its MINE! lol j/k its a very, very good app. I would suggest you check it out.

wat are in the extra apps apk folder??
is there any other kernels i can flash to OC??

As far as kernels go, there are more here:
http://www.droidforums.net/forum/chevyno1/149845-kernels-5-26-11-froyo-gingerbread.html
As far as what is in the extra apps zip, it contains the files and apps that I removed from the main ROM, to save space.

I cannot get this rom to load on my droid. I've downloaded it from this site and also off of rom manager. Is there anything special I have to do? I've loaded other roms without issue. Cyanogen 2.3.3 as an example.

Did you wipe first? (that sounded dirty...lol)

Steel Droid 7.1 is up! Fixes a few much needed issues! Enjoy!

7.1.1 is up! No posts by anybody in between either release???

I dont have the droid but I just flashed this on my friends, great job, everything seems to be working fine, keep up the good work

I am on Liquid 1.9, can you tell me how much different you rom is?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA Premium App

My ROM doesnt have all the features that Liquid's 1.9 does, sadly. Mine is more of a minimal ROM, with all the necessary features in it, but not overloaded with settings so as to confuse the user. Because my ROM has less overhead, it saves battery, and can run smoother than most other ROM's. There is no one "perfect" ROM, they all have their flaws, and mine is no exception. I will never claim to have the best ROM out there, or the one with the fewest bugs. From time to time, one or both might be true, but not always.
So its really up to your personal preference

Just uploaded this onto a friends so we'll see how it works. Liquid 1.9 kept randomly resetting on him

In case your came across the WIFI bootloop issue, download the new zip as of today at 8pm. It has the fix for the bootloop issue. :-D

Hey man nice rom, so far so good, on daddy's droid. Anything to help this piece move along a little.

Worked great untill......
Fault: When I put the phone into airplane mode and turned on wifi, it locked the whole phone up. It will boot, but after boot it goes to the lockscreen and locks up for about 1 min then roboots on its own.
Edit: I was unable to fix this. I recovered nanoid...

Help. Can't Upgrade from 6
Hi,
I flashed this rom with no issues. Until.....
Once I install a profile switcher, the phone begins to go into an endless reboot loop that can't be stopped without a complete reset of the phone. I have tried two different profile switcher apps with the exact same result. I do not have this issue with 6 and have flashed back to my original backup.
Can someone help?.... Please!!! I would love to upgrade!!!
Apps tried:
PhoneWeaver (SBSH Mobile Software)
Smart Profiles (Free) (AnTuTu)
Thanks!

[CLOSED][KERNEL][UPDATE: 05/24/2012] bKernel-v2.3 & bKernel-CM7-v2.3 - 2.6.32.59[CLOS
Thread closed because I no longer own this device. The download links no longer work. Sorry for any inconvenience.

So it's time for my dumb question of the day. Does this work on CM7?

Nah sorry it doesn't. I may try to make a CM7 version but I don't know yet. I don't use CM so I don't build for it. All my stuff will be stock ROM based unless otherwise noted!

Alrighty. I can accept that. I'm trying to find the best and most stable ROM at the moment for my girlfriend. Preferably one that has wifi tethering but By the sounds of it it is a ***** on this phone.

Hey idk if you know this or not but I was talking to purple today about my phone and one of then said well thank good the stock kernel has iptables. I asked more about it and it's what let's my phone do wireless tethering. He said it isn't to hard to add into a kernel if you have the source, another I don't know.about this phone. But if you have the source for this kernel and want to take a shot at it then you could add that into this kernel. Just my thoughts on it. Also, how is everything coming on this. If the Dev for cm leaves I can't leave my girlfriends phone on a ROM not being supported anymore.

Posted a CM7 version, based off Tickerguy's latest CM7 kernel(found in Beta 7!!)

A new stockROM version of bKernel released. It's DEV-0.23!

Added a new CM7 version with updates from my last StockROM version release. It's super fast!!

Added a EXT3 stock ROM version of bKernel-DEV-0.23 for those of you who are worried about data corruption when using EXT2.

Added CM7-DEV-0.4 version that fixes WiFi hotspot issue on Tickerguy's latest beta build of CM7

Working great so far! I flashed this within minutes after it was posted with the WiFi fix. Running @ 1.5Ghz since I flashed it with no problems. I have profiles set-up in SetCPU to knock the MAX down when the screen turns off and I'm 86% after 3.5 hours of moderate use. WiFi tether is working fine with no issues so far.
Thanks again b_randon! You saved me from the horror of stock on my Intercept and I thank you for that as well!

Ha lol yeah what was your username on SDX? I guess I developed quite a reputation when working on the intercept. I wish I had more time free because I need to release a new intercept ROM and I would like to build a kernel for it as well, but I just have to much stuff to do as it is right now lol!
As long as people continue to like my stuff, I will keep releasing more and more lol!

I didn't post much on the forums unless I had a problem or a question. I am more of a lurker because I still consider myself a NOOB and don't want to ruffle peoples feathers. I'll tell you though, I was flipping back and forth between the three new phones on VM and I chose the Triumph because I saw that you were dev'ing for it. Anyway...enough of that.
I have noticed, after using it for a day or so, that the hotspot will intermittently turn off and on. The thing is that I didn't test the hotspot significantly prior to flashing your kernel so I don't know if it was just that way after the CM7 0.8 update or after flashing your kernel.
I will test it some more in the next few days and maybe re-flash CM7 0.8 without your kernel to see if the hotspot bug is still there. I'll let you know.

WiFi Tether Working Fine
I just wanted to give you an update on my WiFi testing.
Apparently, the WiFi tether issues I was having as stated in my earlier post were just anomalous. Since then I have tested it a few times and seem to have no more problems.
Thanks again for your AWESOME work and I look forward to any further work you do for this phone.
BTW...If you have the time, check out this link to my problem over on SDX and see if you can help out at all or have any ideas.
http://forum.sdx-developers.com/index.php?topic=18405.0

Installed this kernel and really like it, hopefully more enhancements will be added in the future. Just one minor thing I'd like is to be able to set frequency for OC/UC from within CM7's settings menu. Thanks.
UPDATE: Noticed it uses more battery just idling in airplane mode than TheOC, about 1-2%/hr vs <0.5%/hr. Going back to that one, the MT is fast enough for me, so battery life is more important.

Updated to stock rom version 0.24-DEV and CM7 version 0.5-DEV. OP updated

Updated to v1.01

I have update the FroYo kernel to v2.0!! I promise its the fastest kernel available for FroYo. I have patched the sources up to the Linux kernel 2.6.32.59 which is as high as you can go in the 2.6.32 kernel. I am still working on getting my CM7 kernel updated and I haven't got to test it yet on the new CM7 builds, but I will!!
Enjoy!!

I have just updated both kernels. The FroYo is at v2.2 and the CM7 kernel is a v1.4. They both include the same changes, and they both run very good.
I have flashed the CM7 one to g60's latest CM7 and it works fine, and it should work on any flavor of CM7.
I have flashed the FroYo kernel to bROM and the stock ROM and they both booted up fine. I have not been able to reproduce the hang at the splash screen that some of you all are experiencing on the stock ROM, but I am trying to recreate it so I can figure out what is happening. This latest kernel should flash fine, but if not, know that I am still trying to figure out what is causing it!
I changed zRam around a bit, and now it is setup by default with a disksize of around 96 mb, which I run 100 mb, but now all you should have to do is call mkswap on /dev/zram0 (on the FroYo kernel) and zRam should work fine!
Hope everyone enjoys the new kernels, and keep on the lookout for CM7 bROM edition, its in the works right now!!

im in love the the CM7 kernel =]

What ICS ROM do you like best???

I know this has been done many time let try to help each other along with the kind developers. The ones I know about are Eagles Blood, Genesis, Hellfire Sandwich, and Owain's UNOFFICIAL BUILD.
If you know of more list them. If you like one VS the other list it and explain why and compared to what. List what you do not like about each one as well. Lists of likes and dislikes.
If one Rom has one thing working and another Rom dose not maybe this could help the developers.
thanks

How about you try them out for yourself and see which one works best for you?

I have tried all 4. The point is to get ideas flowing. What problems you have on one VS the other. What you like on one VS the other. facts VS Opinion.

I personally like Owain's UNOFFICIAL BUILD, he consistently updates taking in everyone's comments. I've tried Eagles Blood, and Hellfire Sandwich and I feel I have the most freedom with Owain's. I don't believe Eagles Blood has updated their ICS Rom since March and Hellfire Sandwich you can't edit the lock screen apps
If I was incorrect with anything sorry I might have just not seen it when I had them on my phone

I personally like resurrection remix rom.

Eaglesblood's AOSP pre-release is downloadable since about 5 hours ago. There's supposed to be another release today/tomorrow.
For the pre-release (my observations - do not generalize!!!):
*NO WiFi
*Lock screen seems to be off its normal position - it has the unlock/dial/messages/camera, but the camera is somewhere under the screen (?!?!) and I didn't even know it's there until someone pointed it out.
*Battery life seems pretty bad FOR ME. I had about 90% when I flashed the ROM last night. I only installed APEX launcher, Google maps, Dolphin HD, and updated ROM Manager and did a bit of browsing and messed around with some settings - not more than 30 mins. I also set the alarm to ring in about 5 hours. Surprise, surprise: the phone was dead when I woke up because its battery had dies - hopefully the release coming today/tomorrow will fix that.
*Stock browser doesn't work for me. It shows some all black or all white screen and sometimes just quits. That's why I installed Dolphin that fixes the problems.
*Google maps sometimes turns all grey. It's still there I can zoom in and out and use all the functions but I can't see them. I have to restart it - sometimes multiple time to get it back to work.
THE LAST TWO BULLETS have been common for me in all ICS ROMs I've used (EGB AOSP, Hellfire Sandwich, Genesis) and these are the main reason ICS is cannot remain my daily driver. I keep going back to Miui.

the rom is for samsung s2 i taught the thread is about lg g2x?

I've been using HFS for my daily. It's pretty stable and quick, and it just works. (for me anyway).
Owain's seems really innovative, but it just had too many issues for the time being. I may come back to that one on a later date when more things get ironed out.
In the meantime, I'm awaiting the release of HSF.8

Okay for me it's like i've tested every ics rom for g2x out there except genesis.
hellfire: it's a good rom but has some data drop issues didn't try it with harsh kernel yet may be on 1.8 coming soon.
eagleblood: 4.0.4 using it right now not bad smooth but few issues camera is 5m pix the gps is awful keeps on droping signal not battery percent option. data is perfect thou no drop ,
cm9 euroskank: this was the best rom i had up until they started updating it every update had issues no data at all no sound on the latest best was 1.3
right now i'm going to try hang v63 cz hopefully it's better i love the harsh kernel thanks the team that build it.

I've been running EB AOSP since the beginning, I love it.. All the ics problem I haven't really noticed.. The rom is super fast and snappy.. I don't take pics with the stock camera so the 5mp doesn't bother me.. I picked up fxcamera when it was 50 cents on the market.. Just no video recording.. But that's with all ics roms.. I've tried the others here on xda and they all seem very laggy to me.. I don't know why.. And too I'm like the stock feel of EB ics with apex launcher I'm happy

i like hfs but my mms or web doesnt work its not the rom fault really its my provider outdated apn settings -_-(simple mobile)its so smooth fell in love with the first use

I've tried them all out myself. I used hfs for the longest because of how stable it was. Had to do the occasional reboot, but nothing major. I started using Genesis with harsh kernel a couple of days ago, and must say I am really impressed. I've had a couple of random reboots that wasn't normal with hfs, but I'm digging everything else. I just wish someone would fix the major camera issue! I'm a little ROM happy as I work for TMobile and am always trying to keep on the up and up. Hell, I'll try anything as long as it doesn't fry my beloved G2x!

I'm totally happy with the Genesis ROM with harsh kernel, i try hellfire but like the way i can set my phone with Genesis with aroma... wait to see wat hell's doing with it's .8 version with aroma

I flashed from stock GB 2.3.4 (after downgrading my BB) yesterday with EB 4.0.4 (5/20 nightly) and have been surprised with it.
I'm having some issues with the sim , can't read my number or VM number and a strange issue with mobile data after a service dead spot (like on the subway) but a reboot corrects that....
All and all a good ics experience

I have running Hellfire Sandwich 1.7 (dirty) since it was released to the public and it is a extremely good rom and its also very smooth and fast... Its even faster when it is combined with the Harsh Kernel P999
Sent from my $40 Sensation XE with Beats Audio

I personally love AOKP. It's probably the smoothest and most stock 4.0.4 rom i've ever used. It has big support and a nice website with everything you need. It also has a simple rom control and theme manager in the settings and that's it. No other cluttered crap. I love the continuing updates and support. I haven't experienced one force close or overheat yet with this one. It's a keeper. [:

I don't like ANY of the ICS ROM's that are out currently. Until LG/nVidia releases the drivers for the tegra2 and G2X, I won't be pleased with what's out there.

CM7 or CM9/CM10

After playing with CM9 and CM10 for the past six months, I decided to flash back to CM 7.2 with the datadata fix and latest CM7 glitch kernel.
Results?
CM 7.2 makes my captivate feel like a new phone. It makes me wonder if Samsung was right, maybe our little cappy isn't powerful enough to handle above GB?
Has anyone else had similar results?
for me in JB (and the reason I flashed back) everything was laggy in every version of CM9, and CM10. Overclocking and installing faster kernels helped, but it STILL always felt lagged.
JB was really bringing me down, made me want to throw my phone out the window while waiting for Google Now to load.
Now, with 7.2 back on there my phone is snappy, google (which is WAY less complex) is snappy.

So after using it for a day here's some things I forgot about:
1) power saving features work correctly meaning ill have better battery life on cm 7. I tried having wifi shut off automatically in cm9/10 and it never automatically turned back on.
2) home and messaging are resident in memory. You have to flash additional add one in the newest version to get this feature.
3)faster app performance. Everything but scrolling is faster.apps open faster,games respond faster, touches aren't delayed. In cm9/10 I could text faster than my phone could display on screen. Not with cm7.
Do I miss the smoothness of butter and the slick ice interface?
Absolutely. It is a trade off.

Cm7 was good you can do a lot more but cm9 I really don't like love aokp tho I use that a lot but the only issues I have is when on Facebook or games my phone starts to heat up

Having never used CM7, I was under the impression that the captivate battery life was worse than a Samsung based ROM or cm9. But you find it to be better?

Definately better than I was getting with cm9 or cm10.
don't recall stock froyo battery life being great. I haven't been on stock since last October.

I guess every phone is different. I couldn't make it through the day on cm7. I'm now on slimbean 2.1 and can get a good day and a half on the battery.

yeah, like I said in the other thread, your mileage may vary. My phone has never made it through a day on a single charge, even on the stock rom froyo. now it's down to half a day.
That wasn't the only issue I was having with ICS/JB roms. in CM10 it would take literally almost 2 minutes for Google Now to load up. When messaging with SMS pop up, or the stock messaging App, the characters were ALWAYS about 15 seconds behind. Sometimes to the point of making me wonder if it was responding.
Some of this stuff is probably better in Slimbean, because they have trimmed the system and therefore trimmed RAM usage down to the bare essentials.

I have a captivate and my GF has a GSM Nexus S. The specs for the two phones are identical the Nexus S is just newer with a front facing camera and a flash.
She has gotten the stock update to Jelly Bean OTA. so that should show that our phone does have the hardware to support at least ICS. I am using the stable CM9. I can agree with you on the battery thing, but I bought a Samsung OEM 1800 mah battery that was meant for another phone (s2 i think), but still fits tightly. with the new battery my CM9 runs at least one day, sometimes maybe 2 with light usage.

Your post inspired me to try CM7 just for fun. So I reinstalled my old nandroid from january, and installed the latest nightly and glitch kernel, and I am amazed by the speed and fluidness. Project butter? This is much closer. Everything is super speedy, and all of my apps updated extremely fast. I really wonder what happened to all of the features that CM7 contained under the CM settings, but I suppose they were removed in order to save space. It's all great except I'm almost disgusted by the look of the UI after being on beautiful 4.0+ since november. I know I won't be able to use this for very long.

Try the GlaSSMIX theme, with the Holo ICS launcher.
It is interesting that they dropped so many features from CM9 that were in CM7.1 and 7.2.
hshaikh;
Perhaps I miss spoke; The phone is _capable_ of running the latest Android OS. In much the same way you could run Windows 7 on the lowest spec machine listed on the back of the box. But you'll get a much better experience running Windows XP on that PC, in much the same way, Gingerbread CM7 + Glitch runs better on the cappy.
Java is a resource hungry beast, and with the polish and UI improvement require more of both. FUNCTIONALLY there is not a whole lot of improvements between GB and ICS. JB adds more polish to the notification system, and Google Now.

Alright, this thread inspired me as well and few days ago i decided to flash CM7 from CM10 nightlies which i've never been before since i got this phone lol i just went straight to CM9. All i can say about CM7 in the cappy is O.M.G what a change so i decided to make it a keeper, how? well changing the UI what else lol so ok i took the plunge and made a Phone version of my RibbonICS tablet theme for CM7 together with ZduneX25 ICS layout patch and gee i'm proud of the result i'm loving it.
I have posted some screenshoots here, i'm still working on it i want to make it the best as possible.
Note: I will be releasing a slim CM7 ROM with the patches and the theme in few days, The font in the screenshoots is Comfortaa but i'll add roboto fonts to the ROM once i'm done with the theme.
If you can't wait and want to have a taste of the theme before i release it you can donate to me and I'll send you the the RC version.

That theme is VERY nice looking, look forward to trying it.
In the mean time I suggest GB users check out this theme, it's VERY polished and really makes the GB phone pop.

I missed this comment before, unrelated to CM7/9/10.
NEVER use the Facebook or Twitter app. Both stock apps are garbage. Unfortunately there is no good Facebook replacement, I've come to like Plume for Twitter, and until Slices hooks into system sharing is my goto app.
For Facebook just make a shortcut on your launcher to the mobile website. It looks EXACTLY like that app and functions faster.

I have made more modifications and fixed few bugs since last time check the new screenshoots in the same link above.
I just need to fix 2-3 other bugs and the theme will be ready to be released, i decided to make free and paid version and i'll be placing it in the google play. I will still post the CM7 slimmed down ROM with the patches and the free version of my theme when is ready.
Cheers!

For me, I have always liked the CM9 ICS ROM. I highly understand what you mean JB is very laggy due to the cappy being single processor phone in all.

CM7 Installation aborted
Hey Guys,
I was trying to do the exact same thing like the original poster but I'm getting installation aborted. Currently I have Slimbean 4.1 on my device and the CWMR Touch v5.5.0.4.
I did the following steps:
- Wipe Data
- Wipe Cache
- Install zip from sdcard and chose the cm7 file (stable). It goes through and then just gives me a Installation aborted. Do I need to have an older version of CWM perhaps? Any help here how you guys downgraded back to cm7?
Thanks.

Every time I go from a datadata to a no datadata ROM I flash the kernel first then reboot recovery and proceed. Example : DOCS v12 (ICS) boot into recovery flash JB devil or any other JB kernel then reboot recovery and install JB ROM. Vice versa if I'm going from JB to ICS, I experience no boot loops with that method just make sure you DONT reboot phone in recovery AFTER installing the kernel then ICS ROM with JB kernel wouldn't be a good idea.

Alright im ready to release the ROM i promised expect it today. Im still using cm7 with my theme and i have no intentions of going back to cm9+ but i just wish battery life be better on cm7, that's the only downside.
Im using latest glitch kernel with SIO and smartassv2, 100Mhz min and 1000Mhz max, default voltages. Any suggestions to improve battery life?

Thanks for the hard work!

[Q] Stability of CM10?

I was running CM10 back in the day when it was not yet officially hosted by the CM team and I I went back to stock since there were a couple issues with the video recorder and other things. I see now that CM10 is officially being hosted by the CM team but they are still nightly, but I still would like to give it another go around. I was just wondering if there what are the major issues with the ROM right now (if any)?
The first posts don't really tell much except "it's a major work in progress" and the official change log might as well be gibberish to me, and I'm definitely not about to go through all 500+ pages, so if someone would give me a brief summary of what is/isn't working it would be much appreciated!

Its definitely daily driver ready. Just some wake locks making it not have as good battery life as sense. But everything else works great. The build bot has been broken since 10/12 so when the next official nightly comes out, it should have a bunch of new things... Maybe new kernel?

Sweet, I might just have to flash it again since I usually have a charger handy with me so battery life isn't a huge a concern. I'm sort of confused by what you mean about the next official nightly... I thought nightlys were released every... well night?

The night lies have been down because some changes were made to the code upstream that causes the Evita build to fail. They're working on the kernel fixes to get the night lies to compile again but apparently its very involved.

There was an experimental one posted today

my wifi doesn't crap out on the experimental nightly which was my only issue with 10/12

One should always read at min the last 10 pages of a thread of a Rom you might flash, an really it's expected of anyone.

Just a heads up dont know if anyone else is having this problem.
I rooted my 2.2 with the new 2.2 root instructions and downloaded the latest (10/25:experimental[cm-10-20121025-EXPERIMENTAL-evita.zip ]) cm10 build, everything works great, even wifi, except MOBILE data. I'm on straight talk, and man im getting slow speeds, nothing changed to APN, i think its a radio problem. anyone got any suggestions? I attached the radio link, which radio should i flash?
