http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/nightly/

Here's where all the nightly builds are for all other devices that support cm6 right now so it may end up there
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
yep. everyone will want to start their own thread with 'the news'.

just wait until people can't figure out how to do something, and instead of looking for the answer, they'll just start a new thread about it. probably be a dozen threads alone about how {some feature from sense} isn't working, lol
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
just a tad O/T... What are you guys that have been using a vanilla/non-sense ROM using for IMAP email? Does FroYo have an improved/functional client? I've been used to using the HTC apps thus far, but in prep for Cyanogen, I'd like to get all of my switch-overs straight app-wise.

So far I've switched to Handcent SMS (replace HTC SMS/MMS), SwitchPro Widgets (replace HTC on/off widgets including 4G), and Fancy Widget (replace HTC weatherclock). The only things I'm missing are a nice replacement for IMAP mail (non-Gmail), an app for contacts, and a nice calendar widget (I plan on trying out Pure Grid Calendar Widget from what I've seen/read). Otherwise, is there anything that's purely sense that I should look for replacements for?

I don't really use news/bookmarks widgets/apps, so I really don't care about those, but I feel like I'm leaving something out...

Thanks everyone! :)
[EVO 4G General] Saturn2K:
There are AOSP calendar, contacts, and mail applications. No worries. It won't come with apps like google maps because they're copyrighted, but you can download them.
[EVO 4G General] ballr4lyf:
I'm using K9 Mail. I like it more than the HTC mail app.
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
ya, i actually checked out K9 a bit ago, and it looks awesome. i just wasn't sure if there's a good working native froyo imap client, or if it's just worth running K9. we'll see once it's released i guess, but something tells me i'll only get the verbose functionality of a hefty client with K9, so i think i'll mess with it today, hehe.

thanks for the replies guys, i didn't know that AOSP had built-in apps for those, so that's perfect. yeah, i'll just grab the rest of their stuff from the market, no biggie. i WOULD like to test out the new plugin for appbrain market sync that allows you to sync / actively install your apps on the fly.
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I can't wait to try out this ROM... but I must say, I'm having a great experience with Juggs' ROM right now.
[EVO 4G General] shadowhawk2020:
Well cyanogen is on twitter for the first time in a while :)
[EVO 4G General] shadowhawk2020:
I always enjoy a pair of Juggs
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
hehe, we're all stalking him methinks.
[EVO 4G General] racemepls:
Wow it looks like cyanogen is from Pittsburgh. How cool is this? I have a real life XDA star from my city! We have the Penguins, Steelers, and now Cynogen! How luckey are we?
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
hehe, yep. we used to work together, i've known him for years IRL. even host some of his colocated gear in my datacenter rack. i wish they'd give us 4g already, damnit... either way i'll definitely be 'buying him beer', minus paypal once this things ready :)
[EVO 4G General] RickBaller:
Im confused as to whether or not CM6 will come with Google's Apps (GMail, Maps, etc). I thought I read that they don't but since Google is the developer of the Android OS it still seems plausible that the Google apps are included in an AOSP build.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
usually there is a gapps as a separate download and install
[EVO 4G General] dwizzy130:
I've been on WM for 5 years now (On the waiting list for my EVO) and even I know that cyanogen is a god among Android.... Been following his work since the G1 (though I've never had the pleasure of using it).

[EVO 4G General] notmike:
Does anyone happen to know if we'll be able to install the Sprint tv apk on cm6
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
i'm sure it'll work just fine, although google's nav is way better.
[EVO 4G General] racemepls:
Well I work @ a Sprint store here in PGH. Both you or cyanogan can PM me if you want any discounts on your account or anything. BTW I was in station square last week and seen a 4G icon but I still had 3G speeds so maybe their starting to test.
[EVO 4G General] joselo:
it is but they where asking about the tv app ;) , hopefully it will because i do use it every once in awhile. really helped out with being able to watch world cup games!
[EVO 4G General] berkmanmd:
ha since when does google nav show tv?

to answer your question, yes it should work. do an adb pull from your current rom to make sure you have the file, and then adb install into CM6

FYI...I'm running Sprint TV on Avalaunch V9 (Froyo)
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
awesome man, definitely will do. i'm bound to need something from a sprint store one of these days, hehe. i may swing down that way later, i'll have to give it a try. we usually hit the west end and just roll into south side from there, maybe i'll get a 4g signal on one of our evos. my wife's is still stock, so we've got 2 to try. we went to lancaster a few weekends ago which is supposed to have it, but neither of us picked up a damn signal, so we must've been way too far out of the city :-\
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
oh woops, my bad. i completely misread, was too busy swapping out my crappy htc apps for less memory-intrusive market stuff :) yeah, tv should work fine too. i keep nav/tv on here still, but ditched the rest of their crap.
[EVO 4G General] beastmods:
only been waiting for this rom for a couple of days and it feels like forever.

guess it is still early in PA:D
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
hmmm...betting it may be another day yet. or more. not much word in the cyanogen pipeline on twitter
[EVO 4G General] brownmc77:
Hopefully that means that their working hard to put it out. Im hoping for tonight.
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
*waiting patiently* (hardly) lol

Sent telepathically via my Evo.

-_-
[EVO 4G General] seriousblack25:
I was kinda thinking it'll prolly comeout later tonight...i knew it wasn't gonna be in the afternoon
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Hmm guess I need to space out in Allen wake again and randomly pop back in a couple of hours
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
yeah, i'd lean more towards a late night release if anything today.
[EVO 4G General] jabbawalkee:
Guys, unfortunately, I'm pretty positive that it won't be released tonight. Talked to someone on the team and he said "not tonight." Just wanted to let everyone know so you're not waiting around for it just yet...hopefully soon though :( I'm so tired of all the other ROMs, which are **** on my Evo.
[EVO 4G General] apristel:
I wouldn't says **** man.

I've enjoyed every rom i have tried. You should be appreciative you have roms to flash and are able to.

Thats just my opinion.
[EVO 4G General] Eric-1987:
Damn I am looking forward to this too.
[EVO 4G General] timothydonohue:
boooo...okay, then no more waiting. off to the gf's house for playing in the water, some beer, and some movies while we babysit the niece while my sister gets loaded at the bar.

gotta return the favor for babysitting gf's kid last night while we went out :)

maybe when i get home tomorrow it'll be up. or not, lol
[EVO 4G General] jabbawalkee:
LOL, slow down buddy. Who said I wasn't appreciative? I've donated to just about every Android dev whose work I have used. I've enjoyed all the ROMs I've tried as well but, at this point, just a bit bored with them is all. Have a good day.
[EVO 4G General] apristel:
Fair enough. Sorry I really wasn't trying to be rude to ya.
[EVO 4G General] halorin:
The wait's so agonizing!!! lol. I'm very appreciative of people's work, and I know I sure as Heck couldn't come up with half the stuff the dev community comes up with, but I wish they'd give a time of release when they were 100% sure it was going to happen. I was looking forward to the latest DamageControl ROM, and was looking forward to this today, and the given expectation of release is what makes the wait agonizing. :(
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Same, but I'm looking forward to seeing BuglessPete v0.5. BP is not as popular as Fresh, DC, Snacks, but it blows all three out of the water.
[EVO 4G General] jim2point0:
Thats how i feel about the playstation emulator coming out in 2 weeks as of 2 weeks ago. Dont trust release dates from android developers. Better, even, if android developers wouldnt give out tons of false hope.
[EVO 4G General] myndwire:
I'll agree.. it sucks that DC got pretty much stalled b/c of what happened to Damageless, esp with the imminent release of DC that and CM ROMs (the 2 biggest ones out there pretty much). Just have to chill and prep I guess. I still need to mess with K9 to see if I like that client better than the stock 2.2 mail client, which I can't really find any screenies of.
[EVO 4G General] cyanogen:
Probably won't be ready tonight. Still working on an annoying problem.
[EVO 4G General] Stephanie95:
HTC New opps

Ok... seriously...

I got my Awesome EVO, June 4th...

Installed the OTA update(twice-I thought the 2nd one was an update for the first one 1.47.xxx.xx....June28... one bricked Evo :-(

Got the replacement a few days later...

New hardware version- 003 from 002...

Now I have;

Operating 2.1-update 1

Kernel version 2.6.29-a2443432

Software Number 1.32.651.6

I'm not going to update the version till Cyano 6.0

But what do I need to do while I wait... to get myself ready for this...

Like how do I copy my contacts somewhere so I can get them back onto froyo 6.0cyano?

:o
[EVO 4G General] wasd321:
I hear madcoder is working on wimax for CM6

:(
[EVO 4G General] bcnice20:
Well that's not very nice the man let us know it may not be out tonight so we don't stay glued to our computers alllll day and ya say that gosh.....
[EVO 4G General] kyrumo71:
Thanks for the hard work let me know if you need a tester :-)
[EVO 4G General] Vivix729:
...guess you're not familiar with "ffffuuuuuu-" usage? Example:

http://gizmodo.com/5538403/the-fatal-flaw-with-portal-on-macs

Aka, sarcasm.
[EVO 4G General] tuleshed:
A...you will need to have a rooted phone with nand unlocked and you will need a custom recovery to install new custom roms such as cyanogenmod 6... or any other

B...google stores your contacts in their "cloud", once you put your gmail username and password in on any android phone it will sync your contacts for you.
[EVO 4G General] Vivix729:
B is not necessarily true. You have 2 options for your contacts: Google Contacts, or stored on phone only. You can press the Menu button in Contacts app, and choose Export to create a vcf (vCard) file that you can later on import.
[EVO 4G General] firemedic1343:
Thanks for the update. We may have to wait a bit more, but at least we won't be loading something that doesn't meet your standards...thanks for always putting out the best...gotta love someone who puts out...the best...
[EVO 4G General] Stephanie95:
Getting Ready

Ok I got my contacts saved to my SD card thanks...

Now all I need to do is;

A)learn how/and "root" my phone...

B) nand unlock...

C) costom recovery...

It's odd how my phone wont restart if I use "unrevoked", after I do a bit of WiFi tethering....

Anyone else need to take off their battery and reinstall it, to restart their phone...:confused:

As a new-b I will make a great "tester", cause if I can get it done , anyone can.:)
[EVO 4G General] urcboss07:
I know you've been working hard for us, can we just try whatever you have at this time and will report back any problem that we may have in the rom?
[EVO 4G General] apexi350z:
is that you Lindsay?

I agreed, this was really uncalled for. joking or not. very immature move.
[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
Uhhh the fuuuuuuuu isnt said as F.U. when that is written it is like saying uhhhhhhhhhhhhh but with the f sound... like if it was being said in their head.. wasnt meant do disrespect anyone.. its sorta just an internet saying that came from 4chan, usually spelled FFFFUUUUUU!
[EVO 4G General] Rudementry:
I really don't see the fuuuuuuuuu thing as offensive at all. If you do I think you need to chill out, its no worse than saying "sigh".
[EVO 4G General] infamousjax:
CM6 isn't coming out tonight :(
[EVO 4G General] chrisctb:
yeah thats been established lol
[EVO 4G General] laydros:
Wow, sure was nice of him to show up with an update, even if it wasn't what we WANTED to hear. :)

Also, I have seen a few people mention waiting all day to find it or whatever, but unless I'm mistaken this would be a nightly, and would not show up at any time other than when they spin the nightly builds. According to the Droid Inc forum here, that is around midnight UTC:

I pulled the /inc off the end since we will be looking for a build called evo or supersonic or something.
[EVO 4G General] Mediocrates:
After being on Cyan's roms on the G1 for as long as he's been uploading them at xda dream forum, his are worth waiting for.

Have patience, it's worth the wait! Quality roms are what he's known for, and I don't think he's gonna want to tarnish that image with a substandard rom.

His roms are as legendary as Haykuro's and JesusFreke's, in my opinion, so wait for it, anticipation is half the fun anyway.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Methinks a lot of people are breaking the first two rules of CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G General] Vincent Law:
Take your time. I'd wait another 6 months for your ROMs if it were necessary. It's that polish that makes your ROMs the best! Well wishes and all that sort, can't say much more in words. :p
[EVO 4G General] amirborna:
Uhh...no. I've temporarily held off flashing a full rom and customizing the crap out of it. Right now I have Evo No-Sense rom with stock everything other than contacts, wallpapers, and 2 apps on the homescreen that I use all the time. Waiting for CM..
[EVO 4G General] Vincent Law:
Uhh no what? I didn't say everyone.
[EVO 4G General] Zetsueis:
Which are?
[EVO 4G General] thenewguy821:
Rule number 1: You do not talk about CyanogenMod!

Rule number 2: You DO NOT talk about CyanogenMod!!!
[EVO 4G General] Thalagyrt:
I'm pretty sure 1 and 2 are both "You do not ask for ETAs about CyanogenMod" or something like that. I know it specifically mentions ETAs, and does not say do not talk about CyanogenMod. I remember this from when I synced the source and flashed CM6 onto my Evo. It was a spectacular mess and not usable, but I'm entirely certain the glitches I saw have since been fixed up.

Side note: Argh. I wanted to link to my own smiley here because I do not like the defaults but I am still a noob despite registering back in 2007. That's what I get for not posting, hah.
[EVO 4G General] bluediablito:
hello all

just had a simple question.....

when it comes to CyanogenMod roms

do they have a build in update configure or do would we have to redo everything all over upon new updates?
[EVO 4G General] dglowe343:
I would guess CM updater will be utilized. But even if its not, you'll most likely be able to just flash over the old one from recovery. If a wipe is recommended, Titanium Backup will come in handy.
[EVO 4G General] thenewguy821:
Sorry, just making a Fight Club joke...
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Looks like they found some serious issues, hopefully CM6 will drop by end of today.
[EVO 4G General] jpatterson350:
What are the serious issues? Did they get them fixed? :confused:
[EVO 4G General] Yedgy:
Wow, I can't believe I've actually just read through this entire thread! My mouth is watering for CM6 now.

I rooted my Evo today using Unrevoked 3.1 on a Mac. I've successfully done a Nandroid backup and I've installed some of the usual root-only apps, all of which work flawlessly.

I'm confused about one thing, though: I've read conflicting reports about whether unlocking NAND is required for flashing a custom ROM. Unrevoked's website says that after applying Unrevoked 3.1 I should be able to flash custom ROMs, but I've seen a number of instructions and wikis for ROMs that state unlocked NAND is required.

So, which is it? Is unlocked NAND required for all custom ROMs, or just for some? Specifically, is it required for CM6? And if it is, where do I go from here? All NAND-unlocking instructions seem so assume that one has a Windows-based PC, but I'm on a Mac.

Thanks.
[EVO 4G General] :
Just for some ROMs, Cyanogen's rom will require the Nand unlocked.
[EVO 4G General] Yedgy:
So does this mean I'm SOL, or can I still unlock my NAND somehow?
[EVO 4G General] regulator207:
uninstall unrevoked and run the simpleroot program
[EVO 4G General] Yedgy:
I would, but unfortunately Simple Root runs only on a PC. I'm on a Mac. Also, I ran the latest version of Unrevoked, not the early version that can be uninstalled.
[EVO 4G General] cyanogen:
Nothing serious, just making the camera app support the extra features. Last thing on the list :cool:
[EVO 4G General] rawdikrik:
Haha.. I guess im not the only one here at 330 am wanting to know what's going on.

Thanks for keeping us in the loop Cyan. I know you dont have to and that makes me appreciate it even more.
[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:
So I'm guessing it's pretty much finished then? If so were you able to get HDMI, bluetooth and the rest working for this one or are they coming later?
[EVO 4G General] abmone:
Your not the only up this late checking updates.

Thank you cyan for all your work its much appreciated.
[EVO 4G General] twe90kid:
thanks cyanogen. looks like tomrorow then! HMMMMM
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Awesome update
[EVO 4G General] EtherealRemnant:
I can't sleep. All the hype has me wanting it badly lol.
[EVO 4G General] enragedpaza:
I'm usually not one to post in the anticipation threads at ALL. But, from experience with his Rom on Nexus................. I am excited. Thank you in advance for the work you have put into it. I'm sure it will be excellent, and just the fact the camera is working...... makes it flashable, for my needs. Thank you once again
[EVO 4G General] adamrights:
Yeah. Great news. I just finished rooting my brother's Evo...it's sitting with DamageControl waiting for CM6. I had my Nexus One stolen so I'm going to be getting an Evo asap, and real excited for CM6.

Will send a donation over too.

Thanks for the great work.
[EVO 4G General] martouf13:
Nice to hear its so close to be finished. Hopefully we will get it sometime tomorrow to play with!
[EVO 4G General] cyanogen:
Madcoder is working on Wimax, FM radio isn't going to be on any opensource build anytime soon because of the proprietary Broadcom stuff, and I haven't touched HDMI. All the standard stuff is working fine though.
[EVO 4G General] 063_XOBX:
Sounds great, never thought I would be glad I didn't have 4g in my area
[EVO 4G General] Topgun966:
So not today?? :P You have us choppin on the bit here lol. If you need some server space let me know. I have unlimited bandwidth and server space (pluses of being a sysadmin for a major server hosting company)
[EVO 4G General] kusher1:
LOL... I'm fairly new to android, but have been running Linux on my laptops for a while now and of course if there is going to be issues... it'd have to do with proprietary Broadcom drivers...
[EVO 4G General] Wiz_Dez:
I can't wait for CM6
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
i dont mind if we'll be missing out on hdmi, wimax, whatever...

but that doesnt mean i NEVER want hdmi working.. im still really excited about the idea of WYSIWYG phone/tv + bt mouse idea via hdmi.
[EVO 4G General] Midnigh7:
Looks like cyanogen is hitting already this morning! :) Excited to see what this device will be able to do.

[EVO 4G General] tomp517:
Is the flash player 10.1 from the market going to be workin?
[EVO 4G General] psychopsilocin:
It will work.
[EVO 4G General] grkfire:
CM6 is based off of Froyo, so that would be a yes. This isn't some hacked up ROM. It's pro stuff!!

Can't wait!!!
[EVO 4G General] SolsticeZero:

[EVO 4G General] cyanogen:
Yeah both cameras and camcorders are working. I'm working on enhancing the camera app itself to handle switching and also not crashing when selecting parameters that it can't actually do :)

It's CM6 (Froyo), no SenseUI/filepusher stuff.
[EVO 4G General] nol3n:
Can't wait for this one...(oops)
[EVO 4G General] Veritas06:
Sounds great! Can't wait for the release :D

[EVO 4G General] Hero's Hero:
I already posted that..
[EVO 4G General] Jykinturah:
Sense isn't open source, so even if cyanogen wanted to include it (which he probably doesn't) he couldn't include it.

AOSP is better anyway, for performance, etc.
[EVO 4G General] gx1400:
omg omg omg omg....

I'm excited.

[EVO 4G General] davida72:
Can't wait to flash this!

2 questions...

Will my SD card need formatted?

How will battery life be on this?
[EVO 4G General] tmotech88:
I'm rolling on 2 hours of sleep. I'm so ready. Apps already backed it and just waiting to wipe flash and enjoy

Sent from the beast from the east HTC Evo with XDA App
[EVO 4G General] david279:
I dont think froyo likes ext3 so if you have your card formatted with a ext3 partition you'll have to convert it to ext4.

No idea what the battery life is like, no one has tried CM 6 on the EVO yet. AOSP roms have always had good battery life though. My personal experience from using darchdroid.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
LOL, wouldnt it be crazytown if cyano released their froyo rom, then a couple days later or week later HTC/Sprint release their OFFICIAL froyo rom as an OTA??

wow. i wonder how many people would stick with cyano, or risk bricking/unrooting their phones with the official rom... You know HTC will be including a root killer with their froyo release.

Im curious as to how either will stack up to each other. HTC vs Mod Team.
[EVO 4G General] afflaq:
A large number of people want to get rid of Sense at all costs, so CM would likely prevail over any official froyo releases for a majority of us.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Cyanogen will ALWAYS own stock because of the Sense integrated into stock.

[EVO 4G General] hydralisk:
