Root ROM: CyanogenMod 6.1.0-RC1

It's not out for the droid yet is it? I don't see it in ROM Manager and someone at the cm forums said they are still working out a few bugs. Shouldn't be long...
 
If anyone is interested in 6.1 RC1, keep in mind that it's still experimental (hence the "RC1"). If you can't wait for it, you might want to check out the latest nightly build (which is also experimental) at the CM forums. Right now build 160 is the newest and it's pretty much RC1.
 
RC1 for the droid is up here:

Koush said he accidentally typed RC0, so the "update-cm-6.1.0-RC0-Droid-signed.zip" is the one you want. Keep in mind this is the Release Candidate, not a final build.
 
This did not like my droid at all. Alot of stuttering, then won't go past the M logo on the next reboot. Apps disappearing, and others losing widgets even though they are installed. Some of the new features were pretty sweet.
 
what are some of the camera changes? thats one part of the droid that doesnt seem to improve from stock to rooted

Standard CM upgrade rules apply... have you wiped data and cache? Stuttering is common after the first boot while all the apps that were wiped are reinstalled. Once everything is reinstalled it should run very smooth... but this is a RC candidate.

I should add that it's been running great for about 5 hours now. I did not wipe my data since I am coming from a nightly build.

I rarely use the camera, so I'm not sure what's new. There has been a lot of talk at the CM forums about improvements involving autofocusing. There appears to be a new overlay bar with flash, gps, shutter, zoom, and brightness options. This may have already existed, but I never noticed it before.

I am not new to CM, and as such installed it correctly.

Kousch has a fix posted to the stuck on M issue posted on rom manager in the market. He says to flash SPR then back to CWM. This took care of this issue for me. I have also read that going back to an older gapps helps with the missing apps. I am having better luck after flashing back to CM6, updating all apps, then installing RC1 w/o a wipe. It is better, but there are still apps missing.
 
sweet jesus, huge speed improvements. Just installed through ROM Manager download, will update more later.
 
Installed, haven't attempted to reinstall apps with My Backup Pro yet. I have noticed that it looks like my notifications icons were leftover from the Incognito theme I was using on CM6.0. And yes, I did wipe data and cache.
