So I've been playing with CyanogenMod 7 RC0 all morning and it works great! It's very fast, smooth, and stable.

Also check out Jeff's version of CM 7 here and here. I think it has his own bug fixes.

This is a Release Candidate - which means that there are still a few bugs to be fixed:

Not working:
New Market
Camcorder
Light sensor for auto brightness
Keyboard lights
Data connection is lost after a phone call (toggling airplane mode brings it back)
Apps did not automatically restore from the market

Things like the accelerometer, sleep animation, and camera work. GPS works! Multitouch rotating in Google Maps works too.

Anyway... here's the link: Free File Hosting Made Simple - MediaFire

A complete wipe is recommended before installing.

I'm definitely trying this now.....zipping now after adding a few things to it lol....ADWEX, TB, Dual Mount SD and so on lol



Set-Up: Running Sapphire's 1100MHz kernel.....125mhz-1100mhz. I prefer the 125mhz since it barely uses battery while sleep.

UPDATE: MY APPS RESTORED FOR ME!!!! AUTOMATICALLY AS SOON AS I LOGGED IN!!!NEW Market works for me as well

-I think the Samsonite Redraw fix messed up my phone....it kept booting to a black screen. Wiped and reflashed everything is fine....

Installed some MIUI animations....still working great. Looks great in conjunction with the standby animation...

Glad to hear the new market is working. I was probably just too impatient to wait for the apps to restore themselves. Which "new" market version did you use? I believe there is a 2.2.6 and 2.2.7 - I think I tried installing 2.2.7 using ROM Manager.

That's a good question....It might be the 2.2.7, since I took it from Pete's Bugless Beast. He always uses the latest in Gapps....So I would assume so....

I think Jeff's version is still a few steps ahead of the "official" CM7-RC. He eliminated most issues in the 1-7 version, but seemed to have dragged in problems in his 1-8 version. There are 110+ pages of discussions about his ROM on DF, so this is probably the most debated / discussed GB-ROM right now.

Jeff is working extremely hard and his ROM is getting more and more robust every day. Even when he runs into issues he doesn't balk, he continues to forge ahead.

not bad for a kid in HS, no less. Not bad at all.

I highly recommend that if you're into playing around with GB ROMs that you check his out.
Agreed. It's definitely quite an accomplishment. He is consistently staying ahead of the CM-devs, all by himself and teaching himself as he goes. And yes, he made great strides since it's initial version. If it wasn't for the dropped 3G issue, I might make it my daily ROM, but for now I am sticking with Sourcery :)
