Someone PM me when CM7 is sorta stable. I totally have not been paying attention to whats been going on. So far all I can figure out is that theres an issue with superuser, at least 4 builds, no GPS, no Camera without 3rd party fix, no Crt and a bunch of user stuff.
I've been excited as hell since CM7 dropped, but currently dealing with some girlfriend issues and fell behind on all the developments.
I realize you probably just didn't want to read all the posts and I can understand that. But your account of this ROM is pretty incorrect. First, the DX is on ht e nightly builds for CM. This means there will pretty much be a nightly build every night fixing bugs found in the generic CM system. Just because there are "at least 4 builds" does not give you an indication of the reliability of this ROM. Today there are 5 builds, tomorrow there will be 6 builds, etc, etc, etc and hopefully the ROM will get more stable with each release.
Always use the latest build unless you see lots of people complaining about some new major bug being introduced into the ROM. That being said, build 4 and 5 are nearly identical with only 1 bug fix (and that is unrelated to any of the DX specific issues we have been seeing).
Using Build 4 or 5:
- we have root
- The GPS bug is fixed
- Network location bug seems to be fixed according to most people (but I don't think it works on my phone)
- CRT works fine if flashed, but it not included in the main ROM package
- Camera only works with select 3rd party apps and is slow
- Video codex still broken - this means most video apps that use hardware encoding don't work, but software encoding seems to work
I'm not trying to convince you that CM4DX is stable because there are still some big bugs out there like the video codex issue. However, many of your assumptions about this ROM where incorrect which is why I felt compelled to reply.
Good luck in what ever ROM you choose to use!
