What is the best nightly to use for CM 7? There are 9 now and I am running 4...
Any thoughts?
7 was best in my experience.
Well, it seems 8 and maybe 7 have wifi connectivity issues, and nightly 9 has calling issues (both directions are messed up, outgoing and incoming).
If you find a nightly that works, stick with it until there is a new version that fixes something you desperately need, otherwise you might end up worse on a new nightly than you were before on an old nightly.

looks like I will be sticking with #4 then! thanks for your input. on #4 everything seems to be working fine... As far as I know...
idk i ran wifi all night last night last night on 7 partly to kill my batt for a recondition and partly to test the wifi issues i saw reported in the thread. i never had a disconnect once and had no issues letting the phone sleep for over an hour and picked right back up surfing as soon as i unlocked the screen. i couldn't seem to reproduce the wifi issues people were experiencing. also i've updated consecutive with every nightly until 9. once i realized calls were f'd up i went back to 7. 8 seemed to be worse on battery however i'm not comfortable blaming the nightly as i never conditioned and let it settle.
For me the only one that had issues was 9, I'm on 8 now and don't have any issues. There seem to be some people that have Wi-Fi issues on 7 and 8 but I have not. If 4 is working stay there and just read when the next one comes and see I'd there are major issues.

Hmmm...
It looks like I will give 8 a try! lets see what happens! BTW Wicked good article on helping us noobs out! I liked it. lol
8 is great, especially battery wise. Though the call issue is still there (the mute/unmute one). Some running the same nightly don't have it though...
Be sure to flash gapps after 8.. Mine didn't stick around after updating to it.
Also, rom manager (premium maybe) has the option to send notification when there is a new nightly.
Running 8 and NO issues. Best nightly IMHO

On #8 and no issues at the moment! Runs great!
Currently running 8...tried 7, 8 and 9.
Both 7 and 8 seemed to work ok wifi and all just shows roaming all the time, international roam and have to use wifi for data. Also get the bug of incoming callers not hearing me well...outgoing seem fine though.
9 actually connected to Edge and could use data, but no calling in or out.
I'm sticking with 8 right now. I haven't had any issues with it so far and I flashed it when it was released.
#8 didn't run any videos for me which I found annoying as hell! Also it seemed to break down over time for me. It started out fine and over time things stopped working and it became glitchy I didn't have that problem to I moved up to 8 though. I actually ended up leaving CM7 all together. I found it not stable enough to do normal everyday stuff on.

Stick with 8 for now. The rest still suffer from the same call issue.

Be weary of new nightlies--the vibrant is still pretty experimental with CM7. It is not nearly as stable as the N1 nightlies tend to be.

I wanted to post this is in the correct thread but I don't have enough posts to use the DEV forum. I just installed nightly #4. It was my first time installing a nightly and I'm pretty sure it worked since I now have an orange CWR. Is there any way to tell other than rebooting into recovery?
while im on the subject
the only reason i even went to the nightlies is because the latest "stable" cm7 build began giving me endless FCs on everything. browser, messaging, etc. i just did a cache/davlik wipe as well since ive already started having the same problem on nightly #4. is anyone else experiencing this or have any advice?
I think the easiest way would be go to settings then about phone. Should give you all the answers you need

Phantom Phone rings in 7/29 nightly
I install the latest nightly 7/29 and I have had several phantom rings that I have never had and have had real legit rings on the phone where there is no caller id info and I can not answer the phone going to have to go back to 7/23 where I had only gps locking issues
about those phantom rings, do you ever have two ringers going on at the same time when receiving a call and sometimes one still going on during the call?
phantom rings continue and no signal bars
To the last post yes I have experienced 2 rings at once and can not answer either. I installed the latest cm7 nightly 7/31 hoping for some fixes but none , I still have phantom rings no bars for signal and after 30 min my mms was still on send. even tried cm7- 7/26 pretty much same them no bars and 20 min. later my mms is still sending not sent. back to cm7- 7/23 again . by the way I was using the modem and kernel that came with the rom tried glitch and ec09 and got even worse performance and a lot of force closes Anyone else experiencing this.
Yes, I was experiencing those as well. Ill install nightlies whenever I have enough time to play with it for a few hours and restore a more stable build but it is apparent that these are beta, at best.
CM7 Nightly #6 running good
Earlier today I Installed the cm7 nightly #6 8/02 so far so good no phantom or double rings, MMS sends right away like they did in froyo. only thing I have notice is I have no bars on my signal strength ever

I just switched to the dBm signal until it's resolved.
Replying to OP here:
No worries, you're MUCH better off posting questions to this Q&A section by default. Posting questions anywhere else (especially Development) is, at best, playing with fire...

Okay, this is potentially a really stupid question...but here goes.
I'd installed CM7.1 on my Fascinate as soon as I got it (was running a Vibrant with CM7) and immediately started seeing the weird issues like:
-data connection disappearing
-"double ring"...ringer ringing away during a call, requiring an end and re-dial to have a clean conversation
-call volume being ear-piercingly loud
As a result, I've started ROM hopping. However, the ROMs I've tried all seem to have the same issues.
Not trying to flame anyone, or bag on any of the ROM authors/maintainers, but are all the Fascinate ROMs out there a copy/modification of the CM ROM? Or are these issues I'm seeing (as others are too) a common failing of anything other than the stock ROM that came on the phone?
im running cm7.1 and have none of those issues.
What modem do you have? The ringing you are experiencing is called the phantom ring. I thought it was a known issue in all mtd roms, but I haven't used one in awhile. I remember having the call volume the same way. You have to press vol down once.

I was running pool party and loved it except the WiFi kept dropping. I need a reliable network connection. I would have continued using it if not for that. TSM resurrection has been my more stable second choice.

I flashed Evil Fascinate over the weekend and I'm running DL09.
However, this doesn't answer the deeper question as to if the issues I saw in CM7.1 are pervasive in the other ROMs for this phone, as I've already experienced them in Evil, and it's been three days in use.
I'm not sure if I should simply accept the issues and find a ROM that I like, or if there's a different ROM out there that doesn't have the CM7.1 issues.
I am having the issues with the volume but, pressing volume up or down works to clear that up. I have also gotten complaints of the other end having an echo. This is on all calls with multiple carriers from other people. Anyone having this issue as well and know how it can be resolved? It doesn't echo on my end. Just the person I am talking too. Also I am running modem Baseband EDO5. I was running EBO1 and still have the same issues with each. I have tried MIUI as well and still the same. I flashed to stock fascinate as if you were to get it from Verizon and all of that seemed to go away. When I flashed back to CM 7.1 all of these issues arose again.

my wifi never drops...sometimes I have to toggle it off/on after a reboot but thats it.
I have had that problem on all my android devices that I have had. Sometimes hardware just freezes up and you have to do a reboot. They are basically little computers anyway but, if you are constantly having to reboot to get something to work. It is more than likely a problem with the mod.
Finally got cm7.1 stable working consistently on my phone. Data hand off between 3g and wifi seems to be a standard problem around here and for the most part the answer seems to be just to deal with it.
It's been a few months since the stable was released, so I'm wondering if anyone has found a work around. Is there a tasker program or something in the nightlies that addresses this?
Also I've been getting frequent bootloops when cm crashes and forces reboot such as the constant vibration using navigation and switching between camera/camcorder. Eventually the whole thing crashes and bootloops forcing me to restore. Are these common as well?
On stable w/ glitch v13 oc 1.4Ghz -100mv EC09 Thanks

no I'm not experiencing those issues. there is no fix for data hand off issue yet. just leave either data on or wifi, not both.

I see a few commits on JT's githhub that say they semi fix it...also I haven't experienced the problem really at all aside from rebooting with wifi on since I came back to MTD Roms.
I see. It's just sometimes my 3g/wifi will be colored and still won't be receiving signal every so often even when I disable the other data method. Oh well

same here...but quite a few report the same issue as op. I seen a post where chopper said to only leave one on or the other. just passing the info along.
Hmmm, it may have to do with the radio. I've seen a few people mention that the handoff is better with the eh03 radio; coincidentally that's what I've been using since I came back to MTD.

I'm new to rooting and running custom roms. Has anyone tried any of the latest version of CyanogenMod 10 for the evo lte. Is it stable is it fully functioning. Sorry for the noobness but we all start somewhere. Thanks
I have been running it all day, I don't know the differences from the previous nightlies, probably the same tiny bugs. I haven't played around with it too much.
I have always been curious as to what the differences are between the MANY JB ROMS we have here. They all have the same problems...
I've been using codefire cm10 JB ROM now for around 3 weeks it seems to me that everything is working fine so far. you should try it out I haven't had any problems yet... I'm going to stick with it

Ive been using the CMX CM10 JELLYBEAN ROM as my daily driver for the last six weeks and it is great. Personally i think the bugs are totally minor. Nothing you cant deal with really. I liked the CodefireX tweaks. I just update the Rom using the GooManager and for some reason they changed it from NIGHTLY to EXPERIMENTAL for whatever reason. Also noticed the CMX tweak are gone from the update? dont know why. Anyone here know? otherwise the ROM is really fast and stable enough.
Am I alone here? It looks great and is speedy as hell. But after I leave the house and I'm not on wifi any longer all the problems start popping up. Terrible signal (even confirmed using OpenSignal), only hold 3G half the time and NEVER get a 4G connection in the places I always get one on a ICS ROM. Also, camera is worthless. And MMS doesn't work almost always.
I really appreciate all the work everyone puts into it. I couldn't do any of the stuff these people are doing. I've tried CM10 and ParanoidAndroid and I can't wait until they hit a stable/primetime state. Just not there yet.
But if it's just me please somebody chime in! I have done PRL and profile updates on stock ROM before flashing so I don't believe it's that. Stock ROM and Mean ROM both give me great signal/data and 4G.
right now I'm on codefire jb release date 26 plus I flashed the duocoreAOSPmod my phone is fast, and also I used the 3g uncap codefire tweak. I'm not having any 3g speed problems.
the reason why I'm still on #26 is because when I flashed the 04 nightly the WiFi will not work it just says error. So hopefully they fix that then I will update. If not I really would hate to discard codefire cause I like it a lot.

I've used a few Jelly Bean ROMs since switching to Straight Talk last night on my unlocked Note. Everything works fine on Straight Talk except GPS. Just can't seem to get a signal no matter what I do.
Are there any non-stock ROM's (preferably JB) that GPS works 100%?
Thanks!
I have tried almost all the roms...And use gps daily...The worst I seen is its lock time connecting...but it eventually works..also a gps fix I seen somewhere.Plus a Gps app that helps fix connection gime to satellites
But the best fix is to change out you cong files to a better region...
And you can also save google maps for OFFLINE so you can use it????
Just save the files..and open it up when needed!
CM10 nightlies lock on pretty quickly and repeatedly. May want to give them a try.

The above app has a feature that will reset the aGPS data and download new data as well. Works extremely well when traveling overseas or in a new area.
Trying CM10 now (latest build)...gotta get this GPS working...other than this the Note and Straight Talk has been awesome!

I have no problems with GPS, been using Dagr8's ROMs for a while, King Kang, currently using the AOKP JB B5.
I found this for saving offline maps..hope this helps: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1412755
Well I installed Cryagen Nightly CM10 (version released today) and still no GPS...tried King Kang and AOKP with the same results...even been outside fir a while with still nothing.
Download the app for the play store in my first post. It will give you an option to download a-GPS data. Once the note has that lock on is about 5 seconds.
Tried this and still doesn't work. I'll be calling Straight Talk tomorrow if no one has any more suggestions!
Thanks!

why not connect to wifi so its faster at home or what not..Then just save the maps for offline use? ..for now anyways till you find a more stable connection..least it will help if you need to get somewhere..the maps you can save are huge...
I am on straight talk as well for about two weeks. I needed navigation and realized i couldn't get it to work. I have tried a few different thing as well. No dice. I would be interested in how your conversation goes with ST. Please give a update.

TO Kinz1980:
Have you actually tried to go out and about with the GPS or are you just sitting inside trying to get it to work? Also, have you tried different ROM's and what not? Read below to see my (possible) fix and current experiences.
Well, while on the phone with Straight Talk to see what the issue COULD be I was standing outside with them on the phone and all of a sudden my GPS started working. Maybe I wasn't thorough enough in my own testing (actually walked out to the street today...previously I was just on my porch)?
I tested it a few times with closing the app, restarting it...locks on to my position damn quick and is very accurate...to a degree (see below). Also my phone died this morning so maybe the battery hitting 0 then recharging or something did it, I don't know for sure.
All I know is that its working (using CM10 nightly build) with Google Navigator for the most part. I will use it later today IRL when I've got to go to a friends house then update once I know its actually WORKING turn-by-turn.
I know when I was outside today it was a tad slow in updating my position (walked about 100ft up the street a few times and it was very slow to notice the change in location/direction or didn't change at all on some occasions) and a couple times the GPS signal would drop for a few seconds, etc. So like I said, I'm going to do more thorough testing here in a bit and update with my final results.
All I do know is that it is at least WORKING...may not be super good at this point, but I am getting a lock. Its a start!
I was driving when it was not working. When i am at home it uses wifi. i am using the blackstar Rom right now. I like cm roms but i like yo use the s-pen. I guess i could flash a different Rom and see if this makes a difference. I don't use gps on a daily basis but when i use it i need it to work. I will be watching this thread closely.

I was having the same issue, and slowly realized that the jb gapps was the issue for me. If I used the July gapps for JB it would get a signal and work, but if I used an updated version of gapps, it would not work. Might try installing the July JB gapps and see what happens. It only took me four days to finally figure out what was wrong, becuase it was working before the update to a newer gapps.
This is after 20 min moving around inside and outside.

So do you just have to NOT update them gapps then? I understand what you are saying...but Google Maps isn't even part of the gapps package. So what is updating in the gapps that breaks functionality?
