Root CM 7.0 Nightlies

Ran some benchmarks comparing UD3 and CM7 n21, both using the same kernel.

CM7 n21, chevy 1.1ghz
Browsermark: 38653
Sunspider: 4794 +/- 1.9%

UD3 RC2, chevy 1.1ghz
Browsermark: 38640
Sunspider: 4939 +/- 1.7%


Basically, both ROMs perform the same in the browser. I'm using CM7 for now, because less is broken.

I work for the local school district and today we had a snowday ... so I decided to format all partitions and install Build 23 from scratch and restore apps. I also decided to install Chevy's ULV 1100 Mhz kernel. DSP Manager and the video recorder still doesn't work. But other than those two issues, it's really running nicely. I can wait a bit longer for the video recorder. DSP manager is "nice", but I really don't care too much about that issue at all.

just flashed #23 still getting force closes on dsp manager.
I tried to enable DSP manager on my ultimate droid 3.0 the other day, an i was in the middle of a call, and it just broke my connection to my bluetooth. I had to disable the DSP manager an reboot my phone to get my bluetooth back working right. I was trying to turn down the bass in my bluetooth earpiece. Sometimes when im talking to people, they have so much bass in their voice, it shatters in my earpiece, making it hard for me to understand them.

DSP Manager was written with specific lib files that replaced the stock 2.2 lib files. I have a feeling that until those lib files are re-written for the replacement of 2.3 lib files that DSP is gonna FC on us every time.

ok, running build 23 and my battery said it was at 30%. Rebooted and it came back on at 50%, then after about 2 minutes, down to 20%...eh?!

I'm betting that it makes a quick check and reported what it *thought* was the correct value for the battery on boot. When it was at 30% (and how did you get 30% and 50% anyway? Supposed to be 20% increments until it hits 20%, then it goes in 5% increments), after the reboot and loading all apps it probably dropped down to an actual 20% value.

Remember, the difference in percentages is not absolute - since we don't have increments of single digits,a numerical reading of 30 percent can actually (probably) be anywhere from 35% to 34% (if standard rounding is used). Even if the ROM is now set to report in 10% increments, you're still looking at that 10 value range. So, if it said 30%, but was actually, say, 26%, and the reboot ate 2% due to loading apps and such, then it dropped to 24%, which would now read as 20%.

I haven't been having any of those problems with ROM manager or wifi. I'm also receiving all of my texts through Handcent and was receiving stock Messaging notifications at first, until I disabled them for Handcent. CM7 seems like the most complete and functional GB ROM out at the moment. I'm currently testing out the CROM beta, which is alleged to be fully functional. So far I've noticed that it is running just as well as CM7, but my only complaint is the lack of control over the extra settings that ROMS like CM and UD both offer.
