Little late on this edit but here is the official thread on CM6 started by Koush:

You can purchase the premium version of ROM Manager for $3.99 in the market. This will facilitate easier install/updating and also supports the devs who are making it all possible:

Just saw it come out on XDA. I am going to refrain from reposting another user's zip at this time but it can be found in the link below (pg 8 to be precise) and is reportedly available via the donate version of Rom Manager.

This should be fun.

"After running Quadrant Standard W/O overclocking, I get final benchmark results 210% above what stock Inc. does."

LOL, this is going to get crazy. Sounds buggy though. I think a 24 hour wait is in order for me.

Hell no man, I am all over this tonight and I can flash back to Jager tomorrow!

Believe me, I'd be right there with you but I NEED my GPS for golf tomorrow and I just now got off work. Not enough time to do what I want!!

 

[xgphacks123]

yes, its buggy, but it is froyo. It stays on my Dinc unless it gets upgraded

Which probably won't be far off. Hell, Kroush already has the screen tearing bug pinned down. I wish I had 1/100th of his knowledge.

Sounds like the biggest reported bugs at this point are Bluetooth, Camera, some Contacts issues, auto brightness, and possibly some GPS.

 

[Aremihc]

Flashing now, bluetooth is annoying, but I don't use it NEARLY as much as I did with my Decoy (best hardware feature EVER). This is my first true ROM flash, been holding out for it. As long as GPS works and I can make phone calls I'll be happy. Bluetooth can wait.

Any missing features with Jager? Other than maybe facebook sync which is fine by me. I'm flashing CM6, but if it doesn't work I'll probably go something else for now. Since I'm finally taking the plunge and wiping my phone anyway.

when trying to go to settings in the contacts app, it FCs. also it didnt import all of my contacts from gmail. some stock widgets wouldnt work, just says had to FC when buttons are pressed on them. and whats with ADW launcher still being used? i figured that froyo itself would make a launcher unnecessary seeing as how all the launchers are modeled after it...

there are many other bugs and glitches as well. too many for me to use on a daily basis. gonna have to wait for the next release or the one after that.

MMS wasnt working on Chocolate 1.0 but last I spoke with Capt he was looking into it. By far my favorite ROM so far. I am going to flash TOO's Red/Blue next.

Stuck at the "android" boot screen after installing google apps. If you got it installed successfully, what were your steps??

You wiped first right? I didn't even watch mine flash. Left it sitting on the LayZboy and when I checked back it was booted to the home screen. Went off without a hitch.

I downloaded and initiated the flash all from ROM manager on my fully booted Incredible

 

[killadanny]

Do you have the donate version or free? Im using free. I Install ROM from SD Card, menu pops up, i select wipe data and cache, and it boots to Froyo just fine. Open it again and click Download ROM and click CyanogenMod and then download Google Apps. A menu pops up with "Backup Existing ROM" and "Wipe Data and Cache" i select neither and press ok and then it hangs up on the boot screen.

When I initially downloaded the ROM it prompted for Google apps and I checked yes ,downloaded and installed both at the same time.

Donate Version FTW

 

[killadanny]

Ahh, imma buy the donate version then.

Its not going to seem like much right now but once the ROMS, themes, kernels etc for the Incredible all start popping up in ROM Manager you'll be thankful to have the donate version.

And my own personal 'thanks' to you for supporting the developers.

Can this be installed properly from free version. ROM and google apps? Also can JIT be run with this? It's not Sense right?

Yes it can. It DOES use JIT, and it does NOT have Sense.

 

[killadanny]

Worked for me after installing thru Rom Manager Premium. It's Froyo people! 2.2 in Pure vanilla, ran Linpack and got around 39 mflops, installed flash and played youtube videos from within the browser and videos @engadget. It's pretty laggy on the homescreen but everywhere else is fine. This is an excellent rom and consider donating for all the hard work being done for us Looking forward for some improved versions, but Im missing htc sense. ANDROID FTW!

 

[crazydog]

It's fun to have, but I felt I was getting too many force closes....reverting back to my nandroid backup of the stock OS until a more stable version comes out.

 

[killadanny]

Already back to the HTC Sense that I know and love. I missed the widgets! The rom is awesome, will flash when a more stable one is out!
