I just flashed CM7 coming from Fresh ROM. I had previously added the notification widget toggle in Fresh and really liked it. The one in CM7 has only 4, 1 of which I actually use. Is there anyway to change what widget toggle items are in the notification pull-down? Thanks for the help!
Yeah, and you can add as many toggles as you want, change the order, etc. The options are under settings > Cyanogenmod settings > interface > notification power widget or something like that. I'm running MIUI right now, so I can't check, but when I was on CM7 it was in CM settings somewhere.
Maybe someone running CM7 or that knows for sure can confirm where it is.
thx m8! That is exactly where it is. Can't believe I didn't already look in there......
How are you liking MIUI, funny because I went from Fresh, to MIUI, to CM7, only kept MIUI for 1 day, after finding out that no GPS and having a voicemail phantom icon...I had to switch...
I don't have an icon for vm at all, but haven't tried installing it. It worked for me okay on CM7, haven't tried it on MIUI. And I rarely use gps (I have a great sense of direction and rarely travel far), but I didn't need to do the fix, it just worked - turn by turn & everything. I like it, though. My life's a little hectic right now, so the simplicity of the MIUI launcher works well for me. It's the first time I've used a "stock" launcher (if you want to call it that) since like a week after I got my Evo.
That being said, I'll still probably switch to CM7 final within a week. Cyanogenmod just has it all, and this is the first time I've used anything else for more than a day. I'd suggest giving MIUI another shot at some point though. They just released the "final" version. I haven't tried it yet, but some of your issues may be fixed.
Well if you want VVM, you'll have to go to sense, make sure it works, backup the app and data, then restore. As for CM7 final, no problems here and on the Tiamat kernel = sick battery life, non-sbc.
The MIUI GUI is aboslutely amazing! and that is what I loved about it. But I tried it just 2 days ago, on their most current release and the GPS wasn't working for me. Also, I use google voice, however there was a stock voicemail notification that wouldn't ever go away, seems pretty common. I liked MIUI so much that I have used some of the .apk's in my CM7 setup. Mainly the MIUIMusic and Camera, which are quite...lovely? I really wanted the File Explorer, but I've heard around that it doesn't work on CM7, which is a bummer. All in all, CM7 seems to be the ROM I will stick with for the time being.
Edit: oh yeh, and what ultimately made me choose CM over MIUI was that I read on their forum that Hardware version 004 has issues with it, mainly the GPS doesn't work...
Otherbugs I had: White screen flash when scrolling and white text bug

Hadn't looked into any specific kernel to run yet... should I really consider using Tiamat? And if so, do I just flash in recovery? Will I have to Re-flash and setup CM7 afterwards?
Thanks for the help!
Edit: Also, wasn't wanting VVM, I heard that it is a common problem with AOSP ROMS. I still have that same notification issue in CM7, but there is an option to hide VVM notifications, and since I'm using Google Voice for voicemail, it works great. MIUI didn't seem to have that option to hid the VVM notification.
Boot to recovery, wipe cache/dalvik, flash kernel. Do not wipe data. You will not need to re-set up anything.

Ok Im all backed up and ready to give it a go. I just have a few questions.
I don't use the Sense Launcher and have almost nothing on my home screens. just the scrolling dock at the bottom. launcher pro.
What are some things I am going to lose?
What is the differences in the Camera? Details?
What are the differences in the Dialer?
I like the dialer on Fresh 3.2 because of the FB integration.
I don't use 4G
I have not used HDMI as my flatscreen has a CPU connected already.
Is it possible to have the gallery from 3.2 with the FB pictures tab? or is that a sense thing?
Basically I don't know what all is strictly sense.
the default aosp dialer has what i consider to be a fault. you can't just spell out the name of contact. so i started using DialerOne.
dont' forget to check out both CM6 related threads (both are a bit quiet, but will answer many of the questions you may cross...search is your friend)

not sure on the FB stuff since I don't use it except to fill in the pics in my contact list.
give it a whirl. it will be a bit different.
enjoy.
Thanks Draginmagik (sportbike rider?) I had already thought out what I wanted to ask while at work and only had time to ask while on lunch. Figured Id get some input from some people who had used both but your input is appreciated to. I forgot about dialer one. That is one of my favorite things about the dialer I have. I tried Dialer One on The moment but couldn't get it to come up with the green button. I guess thats not a problem with the evo.
A few things ive noticed in Fresh 3.2 Vs Cyanogen mod is that...
Fresh's battery life (by itself, no kernal flashed) is by far the best of any of the ROMS ive used.
I like the sense camera sooooooo much more than the default android camera so thats a no brainer for me.
I do like the AOSP call history though, its much easier to navigate to and through.
Overall, im running Cyanogen right now but ill probably go back to Fresh later tonight... the battery difference is amazing.
Reading a little more I don't see where Sprint vvm / weird text message is there or not. I hated that on the Hero AOSP roms. Also want to get opinions on GPS as i need it to work at the end of this week. I will be flashing this tonight, just want to get some feedback so dont need the "just try it" post. Again, Im just trying to get a comparison so I know what to look for faster after I flash to be sure I like it before I head home this weekend. Once I get on the road and get back home, phone playtime is over until I get caught up at home . hahaha.

Have you tried Kings ASOP kernrel? Im using #3 BFS and its great if I dont use the phone but it seems to suck down pretty quick when the phone wakes up. I'm over the battery thing, I just started carrying my usb cable in my back pocket and hit up a usb plug when I see one. lol But thanks for the info. Ill keep an eye on that too.

Can you explain the difference? I just figured out on the Fresh camera that if you touch the screen it focuses on that spot. Awesome feature. Wish my real camera did that.

not sure how the stock CM6 kernel is. a few days ago the CM6 nightly was upped to the .34 kernel. the custom ROM's are mostly on the .32 kernel still. i ran Kings on CM and it was 'ok'. the UI was smooth but the battery life reminded me of my previous stock kernels. perhaps as he rolls out more kernels that will be adjusted.
Cyanogen wrote the camera app in CM6. it also has the point touch focus. it has been much improved from the default aosp camera.

All nanded up and flashed and restored most of my apps. Pandora sounds great. Ill test it in the shop but in the hotel its loud! I didn't Know that was a feature.
I liked the look of the dialer until the phone rang. YUK!
Im trying to finish up my Manup them but not sure if the ZIP I already have for the notification bar will work with CM6
The camera work good so far, as long as the pictures take good im OK with that. I hate 3d gallery, always have. its on my list of things to fix.
I downloaded the one in the link. Your on nightlys right? do they seem stable enough for you? whats the best way to try those out? The github link is kinda over my head.

Cant forget having the ability to zoom while recording video. That's one of the big pluses of CM.
Well I found that the stock notification bar zip that I had on file won't work. I got the little blue android of death. After a quick reflash of cm6 all is well. still need that manup theme.
i'm on the 9/15 nightly. i think it was the 'swipe away items from the notification bar' feature or maybe a camera update that got me to flash up from the CM6final.
running it with -snap 7.6bfs kernel
currently, the CM6nightlys have slowed down so you just kinda keep an eye on the thread for nifty new features or updates...other than that, it's been very very stable for me since well before CM6final was released.
Anyone else get a random black screen of death with CM7? To clarify, when you open an app, the screen will just black out except for the notification bar. Sometimes you have to force stop the app and re-launch it. This happened once and I couldn't even get into Settings | Applications to force stop it, as that was "BSOD" also. I had to reboot. There's no specific app that it happens with, either.
Also happens regardless of the kernel I'm using. HW0003.
It drove me nuts for the last time today and I rolled back to completely stock Sense 2.2 ROM. I already miss CM7
Is this something fixable? I really don't want to use Sense UI until they release the official Sense/2.3 update (I have the 100% brightness problem with the leaks). I can't imagine the CM brains would overlook a problem like this.
I would just recommend a complete wipe...wipe again..and again..and oh yeah, wipe dalvik a few times too. Then try to reflash CM7 and see what that does for you. And try using the stock kern for a while, then switch and see if the issue replicates.

CM7 Final (7.0). Kernel that it comes with. Happened when I was using Savaged-Zen kernels also.
EDIT: Used to happen with the nightly's and RC's, too.
Been running CM7 since before RC1 release and currently on CM7.0.2.1 with Timat kernel and never had a bsod
Try flashing a different aosp rom.. There are several that are actually off cyn7. I like kings gb myself couple of different builds there.. Did you try fixing permissions? download the rom from web again. And then reflash.. I had a similar problem on destroyer rom think I got a bad link or computer corrupted the download.
Kings GB Destroyed EVO
It could be a lot simpler; make sure your programs are compatible with Gingerbread
Despite having compatibility mode, I still get issues with certain apps.
Yes, this is happening to me, mostly with Messages and Maps. I am using Tiamat, CM7 final
Try this rom, it is based off CM7 but is WAY more stable
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1000676
for my phone anyway, cm7 is buggy and gives me bsod and random reboots. sucks because i am a die-hard CM fan
I used to get this issue alot when using an older build and savage zen. I know exactly what you're talking about. Flashing the #57 and switching to tiamat 3.3.8 fixed the blackscreens for me.

Rather bump my old thread than start a new one. These problems still happen using the latest "stable" build and the kernel that it comes with. I thought it was the launcher at first, but it happens with LP or ADW.
This is massively frustrating.
I've wiped and reflashed so many times I'm going to puke. I've even used Caulkin's wipe .zip script.
EDIT: Add these to the list of issues:
1. Sometimes when you are typing a URL or something into the browser address bar, the letters don't show up as you type
2. Sometimes when you hit the numbers button on the default keyboard, nothing happens, so you're "typing blind"
The Black Screen of Death happens to lots and lots of various programs, not just ones that "aren't compatible" -- like Gmail, messaging, Market, it's also prevented me from going to Settings | Applications to kill apps off, too...
Use this script and Godmode kernel. Its ridiculous how amazing this is

EVO 4G
CM7.0.0
When it was happening to me last night, I had to yank the battery to get into recovery from boot because **** wasn't working. I did a full wipe and restored my stock backup.
I'd say that I'll miss CM7, but I won't miss the massively frustrating problems. I'll patiently await tomorrow's update.
Couple of questions regarding the latest MIUI on Evo 4G.
First, I haven't been about to figure out why I don't have the Gmail app. Market is included in the ROM install, but no Gmail or Maps, etc. So I flashed gapps-gb-20110828-signed, but still no. I was able to install Map from the Market, but Gmail doesn't show up there.
Later I saw that this gapps version includes a Pacman application instead of the apps themselves, but I don't have that either.
I'm not entirely new at this, I was running CM7 before MIUI and I had a Hero that I was constantly installing ROMs on. Still, I'm sure this will turn out to be stupid-user syndrome.
Also, anybody else using MIUI find data to be awfully slow? I see that there's no 4G support yet, but I keep finding "it's coming" references that are rather old. Is that really coming?
Otherwise, I really like the MIUI interface and would like to keep it as a daily driver if possible.
Thanks!
here you go
I had the same problem today but figured it out. Go to the market, click on apps, then go to "top free". It should be right there.
Today is my first time with MIUI, but after installing the blue transformer theme and downloading Launcher Pro so I can have an app launcher, I really really like it.
It's so fast and responsive and I must say my battery life is amazing compared to the sense ROMS I have ran in the past year. wish I would have tried out MIUI a long time ago.
Oh well, now I love it!
Have a rooted galaxy nexus running nova launcher.
I think its time for me to pick a ROM. Which ROM delivers the closest stock experience but still being highly customizable?
By closest stock experience I mean smooth UI and stable OS. I read aokp is good but are there different versions, where do I find them etc etc.
I've tried to do as much reading as possible but when I go into the development section of the forum I just see a bunch of numbers and words that don't make sense to me lol
Which rom is the best in terms of what I want?
I use Codename Android, but that's just my preference. I'm using Franco's kernel. I'm also just waiting for milestone four of aokp.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
You probably want to go with the normal AOKP (I find the difference to the other ROMs to be minimal, matter of taste I suppose. I stick with AOKP since it's the first one I used, runs great and gets a lof of support), the differnece to the other AOKPs is minimal, mostly optics.
As for which build, if you want to be 100 certain that it's run smooth and without any problems, go Milestone 3.
I would go Build 24 though since it is stable and offers more functions. There is a chance you migth run into a problem or two but nothing big (I'm on 24 as well)
You can get it here:

If you want as close to stock as possible then give this a shot. It's the v4.0.4 that leaked a few weeks ago. Both the wife and I have been using it since then. It's stable, battery life is decent and it's not cluttered with crap.

Wow guys, thanks so much for the help.
I decided to go with aokp b24. I have a few questions.
-I am using aokp b24 with nova launcher. I know b25 is coming out soon, and I also like the black exodus theme by nitro as well. I've done HEAVY customization with nova launcher and my widgets such as simple text and minimalistic text that I don't think I;d have the patience through sitting again. So my question is do I have to do a full wipe/factory reset if I upgrade roms?
-I've seen peoples lock screens that have quick apps instead of the stock unlock an camera, they have phone + sms etc etc. With this rom I can select 2 apps, I set them as sms and phone but only the sms one shows up. Any idea?

1.) Apparently roman said you don't need to do a wipe going from 24 to 25, but there is a chance of bugs/things not working properly if you don't wipe. You can save your preferences under Nova Settings --> Backup. And then you can restore once you redownload Nova. Also, you can save your minimalistic text settings under "Backup" as well. That way you can just restore your settings with a simple click. (The restore files will be saved to your SD card, which don't get wiped if you erase data).
2.) Are you sure you selected the "quad" lock screen setting under "Lock screen style"? If so, try to mess around with the "octo" setting and the custom app locations (i.e. 1, 2, etc.).
Also, this thread should be under Q&A. =]
Thanks so much for your reply. A mod can move this thread if it is in the wrong spot, sorry didn't know better.

I am trying to flash my Inc with a new ROM for the first time, but it seems like more than half the ROMs on this page are either removed by the developer or cant be downloaded because the download links are dead.
Any tips on what to try first, based on what available still? The only thing I am concerned with is that the ROM is stable and compatible with as many of the stock functions as possible, stuff like broken radios is not what I am looking for right now. Would be kinda cool to try one as different from stock as possible. Does CM7 work well on the Inc? I keep seeing people talking about stuff that is broken with it.

Ice Cream Sandwich. Abduction by Hanger84 is smoother than the Sense ROMs.
Sent from my Incredible using XDA
Abduction is good to try if you want to experice ice cream.... but prepare for some bugs and missing features ( ie Camcorder, camera, & flash on websites and netflix) I suggest one of the gingerbread Roms or Froyo Roms. CM 7 or 8 should be fine, but you loose some of the things you may be accustomed to in Sense (Widgets). But there are pretty good apps that can do what sense does, you just have to look for them.
I'm using CM 7.2 RC1 (RC2 crashes right away for me) with latest ICS Incredikernal and SmartassV2 governor, fully over-clocked. Never crashes, everything works but, of course, 720p recording. I even found decent settings for auto-brightness (Make about 16 levels, start out at ~70, go up in ~5 point increments, then increase. Set Window Length to 5 secs). I have tried three ICS roms but always went back.
I'm using the new Go Launcher but it has a couple of bugs. Clear its data to get the large icons if you are stuck on small. To change settings on the large weather clock you have to do it via the small weather clock.
I use CyanogenMod 7.2. Along with Chad/Tiny's Incredikernel, Jermaine/Tiny's EXT4All mod, and Launcher Pro. Speedy and battery efficient. The latest RC should be fine, I'm on one of the nightlies and have been using Pons' KANGs when his computer was still working.
In addition to Sonny Sekhon's Ice Cream Sandwich CM7 Theme.
If you like the stock ROM, and want something stable and based off of it, Liberation 3.0 is a good choice. It is basically a rooted, debloated, stock ROM. I keep a copy on my SD card incase I need access to EPST or just feel like using Sense.
ICS is getting there, but the laggy animations and general speed have kept me away. It seems to me that the current hardware acceleration isn't 100% implemented. But I have never used ICS outside of the Incredible. So I don't have room to compare.
I'm with the majority here. CM 7.2 RC2 is great. I actually have stock kernel though, I am not sure if performance is better with incredikernel but I can tell you that CM7 is TONS better than stock in terms of battery life, customization, and overall android experience. I like sense but on the Inc, it's like they stopped trying...
P.S. - I also use GO Launcher EX with kovdev's ICS theme.
Well I just switched from Abduction to CM9 and so far CM9 is much better!!

I use a app called play on for YouTube Netflix and a lot of other video sites.. yea the camera fix seems to break playback on YouTube.. but I'm optimistic that those issues will be worked out since cm9 is still in development.

Ok before I started getting replies here I dl'd Touch of Blue and Stock+, tried ToB for the week and it was ok but started to crash and lag a lot. The latter may have been due to my SetCPU settings, I dunno, but it was getting hung up on simple apps, and I did not like a couple things about it, like getting calls when the screen is off required you to unlock it, then unlock it again at the receiving call screen. Also didnt like the battery meter.
Just installed Stock+ and immediately realized it wouldn't work at all when I saw that the App Data partition was still at 150MB. Thats the whole reason I rooted, so there is no way I am using a ROM that is eventually gonna give me the Low space messages again.
GOnna try the ones you guys suggested now
I like Wildstangs stock ROM, and gtiny's kernel. I used root app delete to debloat it. And run the on demand deadline settings and can go 11 hours on a full charge with heavy use.
I also like the last stable release of CM7.1.0 it is smoking fast and way less issues then the nightlies or kangs to me.

CM7.2 couldn't figure out how to add my Google account. Also couldnt disable the camera shutter sound.
Tried Liberation but the App Data partition is still only 150MB; as soon as I restore my apps its gonna be out of space again.
ALL ROMs for the Incredible are going to have a 150 MB data/data partition. It's the way HTC made it. The only way around it is with the EXT4All mod. More information here. The file you're looking for to remove the limit is "Convert2Ext4_no_data_limit_normal_dalvik.zip".
And there is an options in the CM7 sound settings to disable the shutter sound. Called "Mute camera shutter".
Ok I found the camera sound setting, thanks. Any advice on getting the Google account to work? The Account settings were trying to setup an email thing, not my Google account
EDIT:
Figured out that I need to flash the Google apps pack on CM7 to get that all to work, but ClockworkMod kept failing to mount the pack when I tried to install it. Now I am back on Liberation, because at least here I have my Google account with contacts, but I cannot get the EXT4 fix to work. I download it, open it with Clockwork, tell it to reboot and apply, but it fails to mount it, just like the Google apps pack problem. Using Clockwork 5.0.2.0
