I haven't had any problems with #62. Battery life has been great, no F/Cs, and the camera/camcorder is working. 7.0.2.1 was the best stable I used.

So #62 is pretty solid then? Im still on cm-7.0.2.1.

I have been very pleased with #62. It seems to have great battery life, is on 2.3.4, it has the AOSP WiMax code which was very stable all day.

I think I might just stay with 7.0.2.1 cause its been great for me and also using the Tiamat sbc 3.3.7 kernel.

I wanted to go with the 2.3.4 dont get me wrong but is there a reason why the latest build went back to 2.3.3?

 

[SmokeCrawler]

I was wondering the same thing. I am hoping it was a goof or something and there would be a fix. If not then I guess I'm staying where I'm at.

The 2.3.4 isnt stable enough for them to include it in the stable builds yet is why it is 2.3.3, i'm sticking with nightly 62#.

Thanks for the answer!

 

[blade111]

igotsanevo4g, do you see much difference between #62 vs 7.0.2.1?

 

[igotsanevo4g]

Well, coupled with the new Gapps, we get: 2.3.4, Googles AOSP wimax code, and Video chat on G talk.
No wipe is needed, just flash over your current set up and youre good to go. Some recommend a cache&dalvik cache wipe before flashing, but i hardly do that No reason not to update IMO

BTW, i havent done a full wipe since nightly #0 and I have no problems /Brag

And...after that just flash the new Gapps and I should be good to go?

PSA!

From cyanogens twitter "Don't flash 7.0.3 if you are on Supersonic or Speedy, we made a mistake. Fix coming shortly."

I suggest following cyanogen if youre an avid CM7'er, tons of up to the minute info. https://twitter.com/#!/cyanogen

Here is MORE IMPORTANT info - "The 7.0.3 update is *ONLY* for people using 7.0.2* stable builds. You'll hose your system if you install it on a nightly from the last week."

Yes.

I was running nightly #62, I believe, on my Evo, and then I flashed the Gapps zip from this thread. I definitely have the new Google Talk, but I'd get a FC whenever I'd try to do anything with voice or video on it.

I tried wiping Dalvik and flashing the cache.

Any clue what gives?

Thanks!

Anyone else notice the ability to move the status bar to the bottom. I like it haha

Quick question. Every time I upgrade to a new stable CM ROM do I need to apply the gps fix. Or will one time fix gps for good.

I did the GPS fix back in the early (nightly) 40s and it has stuck through a few different stable releases and several new nightlies. It even stayed fixed after going back and forth from other ROMs and CM7.

I have a noob question. How do you manually flash new gapps. When I first installed CM7 ROM Manager flashed them for me. Thanks!

Put the gapps on the sd card -> recovery -> wipe cache & dalvik (in clockwork dalvik is under advance) -> flash zip from sd -> select the gapps.

Now some people don't wipe before flashing but I always do.
