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

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....
No that's not it I sent you a pm.

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.
Gigglebread is just what euroskank calls their cm7 cherry pick kangs.

Well by that logic, I must flash it immediately. I was going to flash it anyways just because "skank" is one of my favorite words. The other is "dank."

We should get CM10 as soon as CM10 nighties start. Pawitp already said that all the sources for the Captivate are in place, but he doesn't have time to compile a test build (there is a test build for the i9000 along with a thread on the i9000 forum). If all the sources are in place, it should be possible to compile from source. The kernel itself may also have to be compiled from source independently. Of course if you are able to compile the kernel from source, you can use the i9000 CM10 build and do a kernel swap.
Edit: It is important to note that a CM9 kernel will not work for a swap. THS has changed the partitioning for CM10 on the SGS devices. the /system partition from CM7/9 is not large enough for Jelly Bean, so the /datadata partition has been removed and the space has been split between /system and /cache. This means that performance for loading applications may not be as good as CM9 (at least until the cache builds up). For more details, look in pawitp's i9000 CM10 thread.
has anyone tried yet? I flashed it and it completely wiped my phone... the settings->about doesn't even say RC2.... i'm going to hold off... i think this was a test build debugger. is it just me?

dman !!! thought you was rocking the Note ?
I would recommend that you put information such as Changelog, Installation instructions, Bug tracking, Rules, etc. Because this thread is probably going to be closed if it consists only of a simple link.
Looks good tho
Doesn't seem like a good idea to post a link in the development section, of other people's work. You are doing good by informing people about the RC, but don't you think this should be in General Section.
CM-10 stable has been released on Nov 15. Why are there still nightly roms coming out these days? Shouldn't they work on cm-10.1 now?
Because there's always room for improvements, no software is perfect and somebody would stick to 4.1 instead of pushing his/her device too much with 4.2

It could also be that these updates are leading into the 10.1 builds .... and also there is always something that needs getting fixed

Because stable != final. Misconception a lot of people seem to have.
A lot of friends hassle me on not keeping my ROM up to date. For example, I'm currently running a nightly from two weeks ago.
General thoughts on whether or not you guys keep yours up to date, and why?

There have been some very important updates to cm recently such as the synchronization to the Google source that was recently released. I highly recommend you update to the latest nightly.

I've got a buddy from work that I got into ROMing and he's on a rootbox nightly from about 3 months ago(S3). Normally updates about every 2 weeks but just had a kid, so it was a little low on priority. If it's a rock solid build, why not? Also depends on how into ROMing you are, like any other hobby. I normally don't do every nightly either. My luck something gets jacked and I have to full wipe. Not fun to do everyday.

All good points. For me I have gotten a little tired of constantly flashing. When on CM a long while back flashed nightly after nightly for no reason. Every now and then had to fresh flash.
So, for me I look at Changelogs and see if there is anything I need. If not and rom is running good, tend to keep it. Guess I am not a flashaholic anymore--:crying:
Have not put a custom rom on S4 yet, just rooted and flashed twrp. At this point have no need for custom. Maybe when they "right" 4.3 etc is out and bootloader unlocked.
For now phone does all I need it to do--
I'd say with CM, once a week is pretty good. Depends on what is merged and whatnot. The 6/30 nightly is stable.
