[Q] CM7 Nightlies/Stables and Wiping - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Do i need to wipe when flashing a CM7 nightly if coming from a stable build such as 7.0.0.3?

Wipe before, then after you flash. That's what I did when i used CM7. If i didn't wipe after flashing, it wouldn't load up. It would just keep looping the boot screen.

Off topic, but I don't really see the point of using CM7. It doesn't use the Sense interface, which is the best part of owning an HTC phone. It takes away from the whole experience, and pretty much reverts back to the MotoDroid. IMO!

Some of us don't like sense, and prefer AOSP ROMs. Personally, I feel sense slows the whole phone down. At least for me.

The OP of the nightly thread has a lot of good info, including the answer to this.

I concur. It's all a matter of personal preference, mainly.

/off topic
I'd have to say I like Sense just not the Sense Launcher, I just swap it with Launcher Pro. I know that's the main part of Sense, but there's a few bits that just run smoother in Sense than any of the AOSP ROM's.
I do like CM7 but I'm turned away from it because of the constant updates and changes. If I flash it I want to be able to keep it that way for a while, not realizing there's a few annoying bugs then flash again, and new bugs appear.
CM7 team are hugely awesome in the development of the Android OS but I just don't like it as a daily because of the fluid stream of bugs - fixed - new bugs.

Wipe cache and Dalvik and you should be okay. As the OP of the Nightly thread states, make a Nandroid first and you SHOULD be okay.

[Q] Which CyanogenMod Do You Prefer?

Curious to know which CyanogenMod version you prefer, the older CM 6.1.1 Stable or the newer CM 7 Nightlies. Overall, I think they're both equally good, but for some reason I feel that my G2 is faster and obviously more stable on 6.1.1 than on the 7 nightlies. So far, there's nothing in CM 7 that is totally blowing me away, and since there are some of the expected issues (FCs, random reboots, etc) I'm considering going back to CM 6.
I'm loving nightly's. I love the excitement of getting to flash something everyday I do believe i may be suffering from [URL="http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=652857]ORD[/URL] . And generally everything has seemed fast and stable. Not sure about battery life yet because I'm flashing on a daily basis.
Nightly's or CM6.1.1 everything cyanogen is awesome
i REALLY like the gingerbread text selection tool. Nightly is decently stable so yea.
I stick with the Stables (or at least the RC's [release candidates]).
I rely on my phone too much to have FC's or to have Navigation force close, or random reboots etc.
CM 7 by this point, i give, is certainly stable. From the tweets and rumors, i would expect a RC to be released soon.
But, i typically will wait for a stable release, unless there's some new feature that i just cannot wait for (this was the case from CM5 to CM6 where the camera was VASTLY improved). But i think as the OP stated, there's nothing incredible that i cant wait for a stable release for.
However, this post is purely subjective, and you will get ALL kinds of opinions. Every persons needs, and wants are completely different, and therefore you will likely get a wide variety of responses.
When I had my HD2 on WM6.5, I got used to flashing NRG's every few days...so I also got used to have scripts to back everything up.
With my Vibrant, TW's releases were not as frequent, and that was very much welcomed.
I'm finally enjoying a stable release (CM6.1.1) and am not sure I am ready to start flashing every day again.

Yeah, i love TB. It took me so freaking long to realize that I shouldn't just do a blanket restore on everything as the system files tend to get wonky. One thing I hated about Samsung (and the Vibrant) was that you had to Odin to stock before you flashed if you wanted a "clean" flash. Otherwise you get some hanging processes or stuff like that.
For everyone that is flashing the nightlies, are you guys restoring or doing any kind of wipe to stock before hand?

nightlies, @ 1st, i stayed away from them now, i look forward to them
CM 6.1.1 here, thinking about trying out the nightlies, but I just hate having to re-do all my screen shortcut and widgets. Will probably wait till an RC.
I'm using CM 6.1.1 and I'm loving it, will wait for a more stable CM 7.
Started with CM6.1.1 but moved onto the CM7 Nightly's since Build 1. I keep up to date with every CM7 Nightly Build. What I have noticed based on benchmarking apps is that CM7 scores lower than CM6.1.1. This is with the updated Quadrant and SmartBench 2010 that is compatible with Gingerbread. The Quadrant score in my sig was with a early CM7 build and a non gingerbread optimized Quadrant. In day to day use I dont notice much speed difference though.
I ran with CM7 Nightlies for about a week, but I truly feel and believe that CM 6.1.1 Stable runs quicker and smoother than CM7. Because of that, I restored my nandroid backup of CM 6.1.1 Stable. Much happier with that.

[Q] HTC Incredible root decision

So here's my situation.
Saw that Google killed some apps today. Looked on my phone and sure enough I had two games (Chess and Falling Ball). Knowing that a factory reset from the phone settings wouldn't actually erase any rooting that these apps could have done, I decided to install the official HTC RUU. Tried to run it and got an error about the bootloader being incompatible. Tried a few things, but nothing made a difference.
Now I'm at a crossroads. I need to clear off this crap. I figured, ok, let's go ahead and root the phone and maybe even a custom ROM that way I'm sure any remnants of the app are gone. Problem is I haven't found an easy way to tell which ROMs are good, which ones aren't (by that I mean are stable and let me use wifi/bluetooth/gps without issues), and that allow me to use Exchange/activesync still.
I looked at Cyanogenmod, but they are telling my that wifi/bluetooth/gps don't work. I don't care if it has sense or not, but again, I need those things to work as well as exchange.
If all else fails I'll go back to the stock firmware, but I need to be sure that I've cleared off any changes these apps may have caused. Thanks.
Flash virtuous rom, its nearly 100% stock, but rooted, very stable.
Ya gotta root first tho.

Skyraider Sense is a very stable rom too. Just throwing some options out there for you.
Sent from my Droid Incredible running Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo RLS5.3.
Incredibly Reengineered is awesome. apparently theres an issue with MMS with wifi on or something but I haven't experienced it yet.. Other than that my bluetooth wifi and gps all work flawlessly and super fast. Virtuous is good if you want your phone pretty much stock. Depends on preference.
Most ROMS have a buglist somewhere in the original post that says what the issues are. Cyanogenmod 6.1 is very stable, but it's AOSP not sense.
Many AOSP ROM's lack solid stability, so if I were you I'd try sticking with Sense based ROM's at first- and if you want to venture out a little further then there are some pretty sweet AOSP ROM's that are for the most part quite stable.
I've been sticking with Sky Raider 3.5 for a while now, I've tried a few other ROM's but always came back to good 'ol SR3.5. It's speedy, great battery life, and a couple added features that are very nice to have.
As always, be absolutely sure you make a complete backup of your phone before ever starting to flash anything. Also make sure you read through your ROM thread thoroughly so you won't run into any problems.
As most have said SkyRaider 3.5 is a great first Rom to start with. It was my first. I've since moved to Warm 2.2, and for the most part it is stable and I've had no problems. I really want to move to Warm Z though and test out the new Sense 2.0.
Definitely root. You will be missing out if you don't.

A previous user posted that the AOSP ROM's tend to have stability issues? I haven't experienced this and to be honest, my favorite ROM used to be Mynn's Warm... LOVED IT!!! That is until I went to CM7 (currently running #11).
Can't go wrong with Skyraider 3.5 or Mynn's Warm. If you want to go with the gingerbread ROM then CM7 has worked VERY well for me.
Good luck !!!

give another vote for skyraider sense 3.5. that was the only rom that i used until making the switch to cm7. everything you said that you need you should have no trouble getting to work with either of these roms. as was also mentioned previously make sure you look at the known issues lists for each rom you decide to check out, which should be located in each respective op.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I ended up going with Cyanogenmod7 RC2 afterall. Android 2.3.3 and everything works perfectly as far as I've been able to tell. Better battery life too it seems. Thanks again for the suggestions. I may try a few of them so that I can get a feel for each.

BYUsinger84 did you do anything special in flashing Cyanogenmod7 RC2 or did you just do a factory reset , wipe , cache wipe . then flash .
Good choice with CM7. I flash the nightlies whenever they're released and have yet to have a single problem. It's surprising stable and functional.
Skyraider Sense was my first ROM as well, and I loved it, but I could never get rid of CM7 now. It's just got everything I could want and more.
What kernel are you running? Try out chad's incredikernel, it's rock solid, very quick and great battery life. Good upgrade from stock, at least for me. Give it a try, Nandroid first and you'll have nothing to lose.

I actually installed RC1 and then RC2 came out, but yes that's how I flashed the first time. I did it all from the clockworkmod recovery screen. I tried to flash from the ROMManager but quickly learned, that doesn't work so well.

which rom u like best ??

as title which one????
I think the obvious answer here is quarx's CM7
Thats my opinion anyway. But they are all great really. I also like jboogie's liquid arc and barebones but CM7 FTW!

Barebones 1.5.1
I love the fact that it is 'bare' and can be customized as the user wishes.
I've not tried CM7 because the beta status puts me off, plus all the little tweaks and fixes that need to be applied after flashing. Where is beta7 with all the fixes included, or better even RC1?
ATM I'm eagerly awaiting Barebones 1.5.2 or better even, a gingerbread barebones version.
I'm running froyo I've tried to use cm7 but never could get the market to work I installed the correct version of gapps and no market would show so it put me off the whole cm7 If anyone one has suggestions please help

You need to do like this:
boot into custom recovery
wipe/data, cache
install cm7 zip
install gapps zip
Do this all in one session. I think gapps needs to be installed prior to first boot or strange things can occurr
I've only had the official 2.1 and 2.2 non-blur roms before i flashed the leaked 2.3.3 orange rom. Now I have Motoblur on my defy and I still cant figure out why everyone hates Motoblur, It lacks some customization options I agree (miss the abillity to make a shortcut to switch between 2 and 3g), but the social network integration is nice and smart! It automatically syncs facebook with phone numbers, it shows updates from friends on a widget, etc.
Seriously, everything works for me in this rom as far as I know (red lens), only thing I don't like is the camera (never liked it).
What can I do to enhance the camera? 1st of all highest filming resolution is only vga, second problem is a weird distortion when recording. When recording and turning fast it makes the upper part move/adjust faster than the lower part of the film and so I get some weird effect. Its like the upper part is reacting like it should and the lower part just follows after. Quite difficult to explain, I hope someone gets it Any ideas for a fix?

[Q]Any advice on stable ROMs to look into?

I'm using Salvage Mod right now, and before that I used Fresh EVO for a very long while, but I'm looking to change once more. What I'm looking for is a ROM that is quick, smooth, and has all features working (For example my GPS doesn't work well currently in Salvage Mod). Could anyone recommend me some names to check out?

I was hearing a lot of talk about MIUI so I decided to check that out. It seems...interesting. I'm not sure how I like the removal of the app drawer (Maybe it's back in there now, the video I watched laying out the ROM was months and months old), but it could be worth checking out.
Still open to suggestions. I might end up wiping and flashing a few different ROMs just to get a feel for which I like best.

Synergy was a little boring for me, you're on an AOSP ROM now if you want a good Sense ROM try King's Alliance, lots of themes and such to try. I like EvolvedROM myself and am using the version 2.0. Very quick, nice visuals. If you liked Fresh try Calkulin's EViO 3 v1.0
I'll check out Myn's as well. Also, I don't mind staying AOSP. I don't mind not having sense at all. I actually prefer ADW.

I agree that visually its not great, but there is a fantastic theme made by _Burst_ called plurstaralpha http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1149482 that is significantly cool. I very much recommend the theme as I have tried very many roms and themes and this one for as incredibly stable as it is, looks EXCEEDINGLY cool.
I didn't really like MIUI. I then gave Synergy a shot next and I love it. I'm gonna stick with this! Thanks for the help, guys!
I'm sure you have already figured this out, but MIUI doesn't have an application drawer. You can put all items in a folder, and then dock the folder, but it doesn't have a dedicated drawer. It also doesn't contain 4G capabilities.
You were on an AOSP Rom, so I would advice Cyanogen, if you haven't already looked into it. I am currently running their nightly builds (I flash every time they have an update that intrigues me.) and they are working fine. I'm currently on 143 with no issues. GPS works fine, 4G is working, etc. The Rom is very quick, you can install a different launcher if you wish, but it comes with ADW stock. You can flash customer kernels/Ram optimization scripts to make it fly and contain perfect battery life. I also ran RC1 of CM7.1 and it was fine as well, no issues with any of the features. I prefer the nightlies simply because they add new features into it to "test" before they release them into a "stable" version.
I have no objections when it comes to Sense, except for the bloat that it has. My favorite Sense based Rom I ran on here at the moment would have to be Synergy RC2. It was fast and ran fine, however, HTC has yet to drop the source code for their kernel, so you are stuck with their stock one which provides contributes to the already mildly depressing battery life that Sense will give you.
All in all, there are plenty of awesome Roms on here. People can talk all day about why one Rom is their favorite or why they prefer it over another, it all comes down to personal preferences. I would run the suggested ones that seem to interest you and see which ones you like the best.
Hope I helped, even if it wasn't much.

Great post! You seem to know your stuff, mate. Well, as much as I love Synergy if the battery life isn't great, then I might have to give it the boot. As for the CM7 nightly builds...what exactly does that mean? Does it mean there will be a new ROM every night that I would have to download and then flash again? Or is it an automatic update that occurs? Or what?

They make a new build of the rom almost every night, adding new features and bug fixes to the rom. You can follow the change log, and download the new rom and flash whenever something interests you. You dont have to wipe data, you can just install over the existing rom without losing your settings, but always make a backup just in case.

Interesting. Glad to hear that about the data wipe, though. I'm going to have to look into this stuff. Thanks!
Actually, I have one last question! When installing the nightly, do I have to first install the stable version? Or can I just wipe everything and install the 87MB nightly. I ask because 87 megs just seems small for a ROM.

It's 87 Megs because it's Cyanogen. That is exactly why I don't like Sense, due to the "bloat" it gives the Rom. Synergy is about 290MB I believe, Cyanogen is 90MB. Lol the nightlies are the complete Rom, you can wipe and flash them. You don't have to install the stable version first.
Keep in mind, the nightlies do contain issues every once in a while. Like I stated previously, I am on 143 and it is running perfectly for me. I will update once they put an update out that gets me excited.
Edit - You may find this neat, if you like the Sense feel but are on Cyanogen.

I like ADW launcher the most, so I'll be stickin with that bad boy. It's default with CM7 IIRC? That should do it for me. I had no idea Sense took up so much space, though...that is ridiculous.
Since you've got no issues with 143 and have helped me out so much I'll start there if I decide to make the switch. Synergy has some reeally awesome features that I like, but I should be able to part with it if CM7 has it's own weapons. Gonna try to find some videos for it now.
Thanks for all the help, man!

Looking For A.....

.....ROM that works....been flashing ROMs for a while now and can't seem to find something that's stable enough to use daily...besides one I would rather not name so I don't look biased....
I know ALOT of hard work goes into these ROMs & it is quite a pain in the ass dealing with people complaining about every little detail, but why release something with alot of bugs?
If a ROM constantly freezes, removes apps by itself, reboots by itself repeatedly, force closes every 10 minutes, needs 3 scripts to be run before it works and/or only 1/2 of the tools/gadgets on the device work correctly then maybe it shouldn't be released as fast.
I GREATLY APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK by all the Devs on this (and other) forums...do not take this personal anyone, please.
If someone knows of a somewhat-stable ROM PLEASE point me in that direction.
I know how to flash ROMs & kernels and wipe everything and do all the backups & whatnot....not following directions is not the problem....
I have done what is recommended by so many members of this forum---"just download & try them for yourself"....I've done that, but can't seem to find a decent ROM/kernel combo....
if anyone can offer a recommendation it would be greatly appreciated.
[I'm gonna get some sh*t for this post, I know it]
I found decks rom to be good and stable with real good battery life. I've tried it with tiamat kernels they were ok but my phone I decided my phone likes the stock kernel the best. Only thing i had to fix was the gps but I've read that all aosp roms need that fix. Or if all else fails you can go with trustee ol fresh rom

I think you're flashing wrong. Ive flashed about 90 percent of the roms in xda and I've never gotten the problems you stated. Try mikg v2.5. That's what I'm running right now for sense. For AOSP try kushdeck 1.2.1. It's 2.3.4 based and really stable in my opinion

yeah the MikG 2.1-3.0 v2.52 is the stable ROM I was talking about in the OP...that's what I've been using but I'm looking for a Sense 3.0 ROM to flash...I use Amon-RA & VR Superwipe to wipe everything (I run VR twice for every ROM) so I'm sure everything gets wiped...
I didn't mean all of those errors happened at the same time on the same ROM....I was just stating that quite a few ROMs have at least one or more of those problems....
know of any somewhat-stable 3.0's?
Thanks for the reply BTW.
For sense I have used EVOlved Rom and loved it. Just flashed Synergy a few days ago and it seems to be running really well also. Godmode for Synergy doesn't work well for a lot of people but non godmode works really well for me

yeah I tried Synergy+GodMode & had problems with it...about to flash Synergy RLS1 & see how that does...heard it's decent.
If you don't need 4G, use MIUI
I have a real good step by step in my signature. Be-LIEVE me, I've had every ROM there is, and I used to HATE MIUI, but now, I can't see running anything else
MIUI is an AOSP ROM, correct? Similar to CM7?
I tried out CM7 & that was pretty decent, but I really like the Sense 3.0 ROMs.
Finally got a nice setup (so far) with the Synergy RLS1 & Aggressive Freedom .9 Universal kernel...device is crazy-fast now with no FCs or any problems...yet...hopefully all will stay good.
MYN's Warm 2.2 RLS 5
Never had a problem with it.

Read the entire OP, so you can learn all the nuances and head over to miui.us for all the support you'd ever need.
