XDA Thread: [ROM] Cyanogen 6.1.0 Stable Release

All main issues should be reported at the thread above. But I'll keep this updated here.

FROM THE OP:

CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.2 (Froyo) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.

 * Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM
 * before flashing it! YOU are choosing to make these modifications, and if
 * you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

Please reply with your experiences, inquiries, and love for one of the smoothest, rock solid ROMs available for your device over at XDA. I am also open to ideas about what else to include in this OP including links to themes, juicy nuggets of relevant info, or known issues (should we find any that are repeatable).

For now, please enjoy this excellent release, and kick a few pennies up to Koush. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Known issues:
-Cyanogen default auto brightness adjusts only once, so moving from light to dark results in protracted dim settings.
-While disconnected from the charger, trackball wake will intermittently fail. This is a known bug and has been filed as such.
-Flash Test does not do anything for applications that don't have a customized setting. It should still blink using the systemwide default green when a real event comes in.

Solution Sets/Workarounds:
To install the new Market and avoid FCs:
1) settings-applications-manage and delete cache for the market
2) wipe cache
3) wipe dalvik cache
 
Rather, sounds like 4G and HDMI isn't working yet, so that's the extent of the mention.

The latest Incredible cyanogen nightly builds have been and are essentially 6.1, I think. They're pretty stable so far, at least for me (build120). Haven't encountered a single crash (internal 8GB storage still not working, obviously), whereas the 6.02 release for the Incredible still gave me problems.

Some people are saying all phones got it but the Incredible, the Legend and the Droid.

Unless the nightly builds of 6.0.x have added the features of 6.1.0, I challenge that statement; rather, it's a little vague. I'm running my nightly build and I have all the interactive features that appear on the 6.1 changelog (camera/camcorder autofocus, touch to focus; theme tweaks, long-press back to kill, notification pulldown bar panel, quick PIN unlock, quiet hours, long-press search to message/voice search, etc).

6.1.0RC1 got released , but not for the Incredible. The nightly builds are another thing altogether. Of course, the moderate ROMer probably wouldn't bother with the nightly builds, but honestly, and again, I haven't encountered any bugs with build 120.

edit: *woops, wrong build number.
 
6.1 RC1 is out on rom manager im downloading now :)

Edit: Wifi wouldn't work. When using set cpu it only had a choice of 3 governors. Ondemand, userspace and performance. The kernal also isn't overclocked. Im restoring my back up of one of the nightlys.

Hm, weird. I'm going to try out the RC and see how it fares with the nightly in a moment.
 
At XDA they say wifi is fixed with KK AOSP #2 kernel.

Also, cam and other stuff works when you flash CM 6.1 over nightly build 125 w/o wiping.

trying soon, will post results
 
Hey I'm still new to flashing kernels, which #2 are you talking about CFS or BFS? I take it flashing these is the same as flashing a ROM or theme?
 
Wow I'm not sure how I missed that earlier. I flashed on the CFS kernel, haven't had a chance to test the wi-fi yet but IMO there is a noticeable difference in the speed of the phone. Confirmed wi-fi is working with kernel
 
Is TV Out working with the new build? I'm still looking for a ROM that can use both a Wii Remote via Bluetooth without losing TV Out functions. (Obviously I'm wanting to play ROMS on my 46 inch.)
 
anybody else use the livechurch.tv Bible app? It doesn't seem to work with Cyanogen's ROMs. Was hoping maybe somebody knew of a workaround or a fix for that. according to the comments section for the app, there are a ton of CM users having the same problems as me.
