[Q] Best rom? Revolution 2.0.8 vs CM6 vs CM7

As title says..what do you think is the best ROM? and why? I have finally rooted the DHD and I want to try something new
Pls suggests me
thanks in advance for the answers

Can't really comment on Android revolution as I have never used it, don't like sense and hadn't realised there was a no sense option.
Cm 6 is great and the latest release is very stable, but...
Cm 7 brings gingerbread I have had no stability issues, and have been running it since the builds where unofficially compiled from source, current nightly builds are great.
But everyone has different needs / likes, I have been a CM fan since I first installed it on my HTC Magic and it suits me, give Android revolution a go and see what you think you've nothing to lose except your time

yea you can't compare those roms
sense vs. clean 2.2 vs. clean 2.3
depending on what u prefer
some like sense, some like a full stable 2.2, some like to play test person and use 2.3 nightly

I used PNK22 for my day to day rom. For a time had no real problems with it other then no camara yet, this was and still is the only reason i am not using it today..

good
just a question..there's update manager or something like this in the CM7?
I mean, if I install build 18 then build 19 is released how can I upgrade?

download it from thread and flash or use rom manager (the paid version) to get notified and download it on your mobile + update

by simply installing the zip, you dont need to wipe anything as long as only a small amount has changed. Using rom manager or rebooting into recovery and installing zip with that will work.

but, if there is a large change you will need to wipe data etc. Just make sure you dont wipe your sd card

can someone give me a link to the "stable" version of cm7? the development forum is a bit confusing cause there are too many links of CM7 and I can't understand the one you are talking about

h t t p ://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
There is not yet a stable ROM of CM7 for Desire HD.
I'm running Nightly Build #14 smoothly.

i loved CM7, but i also liked the integration with sense so i went with revolution, but i prefer the gingerbread keyboard

I'm currently running Android Revolution 2.0.8 with a few customisations of my own and I love it. That said I can't use a ROM which doesn't have Sense UI.
If I could put up with not having the additions that Sense UI adds to a ROM, I'd probably be using a CM7 nightly.

It's Revolution 2.0.9 now (fast developer ), but I find this best for my needs personally. It's all about individuality, so try each one you like the look of and stick with the one that works best for you.

[Q] CM7 Questions?

Which CM should I run? A stable or a nightly?
Also, how well does it work?

Depends on you. The stable version is stable, has everything working. The latest nightly has all that, and additional fixes, ect. I would recommend the latest nightly, though if you were to have trouble [which you shouldn't], bump back to the latest stable version.

If you're new to rooting and custom roms, always start out with a "stable" version and yes, it works quite well. Also, feel free to try SalvageMod 1.2.1.

so does the nightly basically fix the problems of the latest stable while the devs work on the upcoming stable?

Well the stable is more of like a shelf as in "everything works at this point" print. So the stable, you should have no issues.
The nightlies are tweaks to that stable version to make it even more better, so there is a chance you COULD run into a small bug on it, which would be fixed in the following nightly.

could someone provide a reliable download link for the CM7 stable?

the nightlies are pretty stable, akin a few bugs here and there, try the stable if your new to custom roms, once you get comfortable try the nightlies, see what works best for you.

Best to bookmark it. The lastest stable is the 3rd file down. When first flashing CM7, you also need to flash the latest gapps with it.

nevermind that, they work. how do i install the gapps? i'm new to the whole gapps concept.

Cranky post edited.
As for gapps, you flash after CM7 so in recovery do the following.
-In your current rom, backup all your apps with titanium backup
-boot into recovery, backup your current rom
-wipe factory/data, cache, and dalvik cache [under advanced in clockwork]
-install zip from sdcard
-navigate and install your version of CM7
-"go back", wipe cache and dalvik again, then flash the gapps
reboot
Gapps is google apps, which allows your market, gmail, ect, to work.

AOSP without blue tooth bug

I need to find a GB rom without the blue tooth bug that is in the newer CM7 rom's. What is the best alternative right now? I prefer an AOSP rom, but I guess I can deal with a sense rom. I'm a huge fan of CM but I really need this problem solved.

One option is to use an older cm nightly. 152 is confirmed to work. Have you tried kuskdeck's ROM or omgb/omfgb?

I actually just went with the stock + rom. I think I will just use this one until its confirmed that CM has fixed the blue tooth bugs.

Ok the stock + rom goes through batteries in about half the time of cm7 or bugless. I really need an aosp rom without this bug. Is their one yet that doesn't require additional steps to fix.

In a nut shell, it's kernel based. The newest stock cm-kernel, (and incredikernel, once I pointed tiny in the right direction), has it fixed, so grab the latest nightly or flash the latest incredikernel. This has been fixed for 2-3 days officially, and I had an unofficial patched kernel out about 11 days ago. To be a little more up to date on these matters, follow my thread on Rootz, which is handily linked in my signature

Previously installed app will not download after downgrade from CM9

Went from the CM7.2 stable kang to cm9a1 kang back to the same cm7.2 stable kang and I cannot download a previously installed app. Not sure if any other apps are affected.. Any thoughts this are greatly appreciated. I need my music!
**update** I tried to include screen shots but my newb status is preventing me from doing so.
The app in question is Live Phish. The message in play store is "your device is not compatable with this item."
here's my configuration:
baseband: 2.15.00.0808
incredikernal 2.6.38.8
cyanogenmod-7.2.0-RC0-inc-KANG
build: 3/14/12
ran all the scripts in the dev section if that matters.
i44.tinypic.com/33yszk8.jpg
i42.tinypic.com/mbs3d2.png

Could you download it with CM7 before you tried CM9?

That is a good question. Maybe I will try going back to cm7.1, download the app, then flash the 7.2 kang with no wipe?

I just looked for it in the play store and couldn't find it. On CM7 kang.

According to Android Central, the Play Store has been going through issues the last day or so:
http://www.androidcentral.com/getting-google-play-store-errors-youre-not-alone
Edit: I couldn't see the app from my phone either and I'm on CM7 as well although I can see it from the website.

I was not able to find that app on my phone either. I'm running CM7-PONS-03062012 version.

Tried downgrading to cm6 because i wanted to see what it was like and i was able to download the app but no dice after reflashing the 7.2 kang. I guess that leaves flashing 7.1 and not wiping before flashing back to the 7.2 kang. Out of curiousity, What is the difference between the 7.2 stable kang and the 7.2 pons?

Just some open commits (check my changelog). I'll have to go back through it, but nothing should affect the market.

Cant you just download the app on a rom that allows it, copy the apk from /data to your sdcard, install 7.2 kang and then install the app from the sdcard by clicking on it and selecting install?

If it worked on an ICS ROM and not a GB one, try editing your build.prop, located /system/build.prop. Compare the two values for ro.build.fingerprint (which is mainly what the play store looks at, that and LCD Density), and change the values to what ICS shows. Then reboot, clear market data, and try again. If this doesn't work, or if you need help with the process, let me know.

Sorry i am not on your level with this, but i am willing to learn! Does isolating the apk of a pay app require anything more than a root explorer? What would be the path to find those apks?

CM9 on the Inc? Where did you get this from? Was it working? Alpha/Beta?
Edit: Nevermind.

[Q] How do I install the kernel from CM 7.2?

Question:
How do I extract the kernel from CyanogenMod 7.2, so that I can install it as a zip into a different ROM? Do I have to build from source?
Why I ask:
I'm trying MIUI (1.12.9 from MIUI.us), but it has a Bluetooth problem. It can pair with my laptop and can connect to send files, but it won't connect to a program I have (Type2Phone) that lets me use my laptop as a Bluetooth keyboard for my mobile devices. All I get is "Paired but not connected." CyanogenMod (7.2.0 and 9) and AOKP (official ICS) don't have this problem; it's specific to MIUI.
I think it's a kernel issue. This MIUI version is based on Android 2.3.5 and comes with kernel version 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g9e5cdf1. If CM 7.2.0 (which is based on Android 2.3.7) final has a different kernel version, I'd like to try installing that kernel into MIUI if possible.

Have you tried it with aeros kernel? His .7 was the preferred kernel by many.

Ask reville. He had some old stuff on a site of his I think. If you can't get it from him I may have it. I am going to bed but I can maybe check tomorrow.
And look back at the miui thread and see if it was posted in the last few pages.

Download dsixda rom kitchen.
You can extract kernels using that.

But you will only get back to .8 kernel.

Thanks, everyone. I ended up going with khamsakamal48's unofficial MIUI v4 ROM, which solves my Bluetooth problem and is really good. So far it's my favorite ROM, compared to stock 2.3.3, CM 7.2, CM9, and AOKP ICS. Between that ROM, Google Now for ICS (MIUI Now), a replacement MicroSD card I bought yesterday (previous one was defective), and finding out that my headphone jack wasn't damaged (works with earbuds, just not the big headphones I'd been trying it with), it feels like I've got a whole new phone.
