So far I see a new feature which I wanted for a while and thats the ability to have the complete silence on the volume control (change: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2057 I find it interesting reading the comments on the bottom how they argue what to call it before the merge :))

3D galery is now way faster rendering pictures (change: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2046). But you have to wait until it builds all the cache for each picture which takes longer the first time.

Compcache is now allowed to use % of RAM rather than pick a default for the user (change: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,583). I don't use it but I may try it to see if it makes a difference lower or higher.

Battery percentage will now immediately update (change: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2154). I know it took some time and I think you actually had to turn the screen off for a while to see the drop.

Nice javax.obex bug fixed. Should speed it up (change: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2261).

New exchange/pop email unread count widget and a bunch of new additions (change: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2108). Was waiting on that widget :)

Man... too many to list. We missed a lot since 89! I'm glad we got an update :)

Edit: e-mail widget is off center because it's missing the standard description.. Hehe...Webster must be using icons without any description or he would have noticed :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Here is another cool one (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2180) MMS attachments can now be saved in a default folder specified by user.

Oh WOW I totally missed that one. If you have the power widget setup it now shows up in the pull down task. AWESOME!!! (change:http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,1957)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Does anybody know why we don't have native wireless tethering? I like the native USB tether a lot, but I personally think it is a pain to have to use the app to get a wireless tether working.

Other than that, I am loving the newest nightly. Everything is working great, a lot of fixed background things make it faster, and the new power control thing in the notification bar is awesome.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Yeah, that pulldown power widget bar is pretty slick. This build with the newest Dec stable kernel might be the best iteration of this rom yet.. maybe..
[Hero CDMA Android Development] brokentoaster24:
Latest build is pretty nice. Email force closes for me every time I try to open it
[Hero CDMA Android Development] billodell:
I'm running the latest nightly and it's much better than the "stable" build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] debh945:
Same here. I tried fixing permissions but it still force closes. Had to nand back to a previous build because I use the email app constantly. Gmail app works fine though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Mine is fine although I haven't been using it as much as I do at work so I'll know more at the end of the day today. But just reading e-mail, composing new, refresh and changing folders works ok. It may be something you guys have setup different vs mine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] debh945:
Yeah, I can't even open the email app - it just FC every time. Also, I am using Firerat's Custom partition mod and noticed that after flashing this nightly another 40mb of data was added to that partition. Whoa, that's huge! I think it might have something to do with the new gallery cache created with this build. I never use the 3D gallery anyway (only use the 2D) so I don't think this one's for me.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Yeah , that might be your problem. You might be sol on this since you have a custom partition. I would give 3d gallery a try again. Its much faster now.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] A_Guy71:
My gallery doesn't show any of my pictures, only picasa web albums...and when i try to click a picture in those it doesn't do anything.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmoch2:
My email was also FCing so I cleared the data under "email" in "manage applications". I also deleted my exchange account and re-added it. Everything is working fine now.

Hope this helps someone.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
did you wipe dalvik cache? tried restarting the phone? i've noticed similar things with the gallery that basically fixed themselves.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] revcp:
#95 is excellent. Quicker and everything seems to be functioning at least as well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TpyoKnig:
#95

My issue with the #95 build is the "long hold back kill button" , the option is there but it isnt working. other than that I'm loving #95...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
It still works for me, you just have to hold it forever. I changed it to around 5 seconds so that people wont accidentally kill their apps
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
NICE tweak! i may go back to enabling it now. i kept accidentally closing adw and i really wasn't pressing it long at all.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
I just hope the option to add a reboot button to the notification bar is a future option.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] TpyoKnig:
your right!

haa, you were right, they changed the default value to hold to kill it. Thanks! , quick question, where did you find the option to change the default time?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] poashll:
I believe Vrekk means within the code they changed it, it isn't a "user" option to adjust it. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
wow i can't find the option now to enable the back button long press. help please?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Settings, Application, Development :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
thanks! kept expecting it to be in the cm6 settings. funny thing is i found it to disable it!

works much better now, like the gallery speed. the new notification bar feature is nice.

gotta find out what else is new.

still hoping they fix the trackball issue with the camera and add a sound when you take a picture. zoom is much quicker now, not that i'd ever use it of course :P
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know if you need anything else!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
this latest build is pretty excellent! loving the new and tweaked features. the notification bar toggles will come in handy when i'm in an app and want to switch on gps, bt or wifi!

gallery does seem quicker, rotate is fixed but not really ideal since it has to regenerate the image when you do. at least it doesn't crash or make the image all garbled though.

gallery and camera still need some minor tweak/fixes then i'd not really have a single complaint.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Oops, Typo, thanks I meant they lol.

Been running the newest build sense last night, and its great as far as I can tell. Very fast, no lag :D. Battery life kinda sucked, but that is probably the fault of Angry Birds lol.

Good thing I have a spare :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] halrulez:
How in gods name has anyone got angry birds to install on cm6 nightly? Every time it lists says not installed. But I flash any other rom it works please pm me someone that can help

Sent from my FroYoed Hero
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ro_bro:
I installed via appbrain, using fast web installer. Install both apps from the market, and then install via your browser. Worked for me. But it's a bit buggy. If you turn your phone off and then back on, expecting to re-enter into Angry Birds, it looks all garbled. But if you just launch and play straight through without switching apps, it works fine.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkratter14:
I've been killing my battery on Angry Birds too, even though some of the levels have blanked out backgrounds that make things difficult and the game can lag a bit with a lot of objects on screen.

The last couple nightlies have been very solid, especially 89 and 95. The only issue I had in 89 was the camera would sometimes crash and reboot my phone. Haven't tried in 95 yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kayouu:
95 alot better. Notification window has wifi and Bluetooth GPS sound controls. Nice. I had big issues with 89.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] naturefish:
My email is also not working, it immediately force closes when I try top open it. My yahoo and gmail work but the one I use for my hotmail which is the regular email icon doesn't.

Also what is my best way to update roms/nightlies without having to renenter all my info like my phone is back to new. I have updating the nightlies without performing the wipe to avoid this. I have titanium backup, butam not clear how to use it is there any other options?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] davec1234:
Just flash the nightly over what you already have, that's what I do.

Make a nandroid first though, just to be safe.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmoch2:
I rooted my brothers phone a few months ago, we've been running the same nightly for weeks and both flashed #95 today over the earlier ROM. Mine works fine other than needing to clear data on email. However, my brothers phone is all messed up with respect to the gapps.

He can't open the market, gets an error message. Maps don't work and neither does mail. He flashed the latest gapps and has tried reflashing the Rom. He also has cleared data and logged into gtalk to make sure it wasn't that.

I told him to redownload and flash.

Any other ideas?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Is he running a theme?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jmoch2:
An adw theme. Not sure which one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] naturefish:
any idea how to fix the email issue
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Hmm that shouldn't affect it... I would wipe the dalvik-cache and try flashing gapps again
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Well, after a whole day I can confirm there are definitely some issues with mail. I'm running work exchange and it felt slow and in the afternoon and FC in the afternoon. The new features definitely created some problems.

I feel like restoring back to 89 and making a titanium backup of the mail apk just to come back to 95 and restore it.

Looks like there is a password issue from what I can follow the conversation at the end of this post http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2108. On the 17th a lot of changes were implemented and they are currently working out bugs to make all changes work as expected. The awesome thing about it is that these guys are on top of all this. Keep track of this post for new fixes.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dean.d:
I might have known. As soon as I download 95, 96 gets posted.:)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] naturefish:
the email still instantly force closes with the new 96 build

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Coolaaron88:
How is the battery life? and what is "auto killer @ ultimate"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
The Autokiller app at the Ultimate preset. Personally I'd stick with Strict or Aggressive.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] A_Guy71:
I just pushed the 2d gallery over it and now they all show up. although not quite as pretty :rolleyes:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BlaqkAudio:
Good idea. DS basically has the same hardware as the Hero (minor differences), so optimizations like that should work well.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hunterd13:
ok so i pulled those from the ds nightly and gallery seems to render quicker when going from portrait to landscape and vice versa.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
I don't see this fc in the email app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BuddahWolf01:
I've found an option under the new power-control-notification-bar-thing that says Wireless AP. I'm assuming it means Access Point, but nothing noticable happens when I turn it on. Does it mean somthing I don't know about? or is it just a feature that is not yet working? Does anyone know?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Faster performance, app use in the background is less

Sent from my HTC Hero running froyo: take that, Sprint!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Stramondroid:
Not sure a log cat would do much. But, I am the exchange admin here at my job. Looking through the logs, it seems that the email is not encrypting communications. At least the passwords are not being sent that way. Even after a successful add of an account, it will never sync.

Ive had to move two phones back to 89 build, since we cannot function without email. I followed the discussion on Cyanogen, and your right they seem to be all over it. This is major, and followed in 96, so Im sure in short order it will be resolved.

I Cant wait to just run "unread mail" in my "combined boxes"

Exciting!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] epitaphromance:
Thank u whoever added the touchwiz type toggles in the notification area.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Its the wireless tether that is built into froyo, but disabled on our phones for on reason or another.

Right now the only way to wirelessly tether is with the app.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
it's disabled because the driver we have for our wifi hardware doesn't support ap mode.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] BuddahWolf01:
cool thanks, I figured it was something like that... guess I'll just keep using the app for that function.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] naturefish:
My regular email still force closes and one more question. Does anyone know how I can get my phone to vibrate when I receive a text when I have my phone on vibrate. It will vibrate when I receive a call but nothing will happen when I recive a text.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] oohoy:
so....is the mms fixed yet in the latest release ? im on built 85 still and none of my friends on other carrier is getting my mms. my phone says sent but only friends with sprint gets em.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] junkshow:
It is in settings for the Messaging application...checkout Notification Settings->Vibrate. It is set to Never by default.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
Is this something that will get fixed when we get a fully functional .34 kernel?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I just pulled the Email.apk from 89 and installed it while on 96 and it fixed the email issues. So it's like getting the prior version before all the changes while still having all the new features of 95/96 release.

I really like the power widget from the pull-down and the gallery is zooming faster than ever.

So far nothing much got merged so if 97 shows up tonight I'll wait. Does anyone know what RIL settings might be? It's for the hero (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2349)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
I like this one (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2345) I wonder how bright the hero led could go up to when this gets merged :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Vrekk:
I think that only applies for phones with an led flash for the camera, not the notification led
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
That's correct, that is only for camera flash phones
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kingdazy:
what?!?! the new builds install a camera flash? awesome! ;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol I wish :D
[Hero CDMA Android Development] XGodOfModzX:
I want more info on nightlys. Like what do they do and do I have to install every nightly for the latest one to work? Is there a nightly that fixes dolphin browser HD fc bugs? Why should I download and flash them? I want to know these things so I can stop getting a lot of bugs. Pm me with answers please.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] dkratter14:
The nightly builds are beta builds of Cyanogenmod 6.1.0. They fix bugs and add some features.

You do not need to install them every time. You just install whichever build you want (build 96 is pretty solid).

You do not need to wipe your cache when you install the nightly build on top of CM6 or a previous nightly, that way you do not lose your settings.

You would have to experiment on your own for the answer to the Dolphin Browser issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
you only have to flash the latest one. they're a build of cm6 that's compiled nightly to include the latest code additions and fixes.

you should flash them if you want to try out the latest version of cm6. make sure you always perform a nand backup before flashing though.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
I just did a complete wipe and fresh install of the newest nightly. A huge chunk of my gmail emails came back as unread and I can't select all, I can't select multiple and mark them all as read at once :( any solutions?

Edit: could it be bc I didn't install gapps zip file or is it now included?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] XGodOfModzX:
Thanks. That helped
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Nightly build 95 also introduced Galaxy S-style power control widgets to the notification bar, which is a pretty big game changer. Now they just need to add a Reboot toggle, and I can ditch SwitchPro.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] hotaru:
is it really that hard to hold down the red button for a few seconds and tap "reboot" and then "ok"?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
What is reboot toggle?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] aven_soulgazer:
In settings you can even remove the shut down / restart conformation
[Hero CDMA Android Development] kruegel:
This is pretty amazing and EXTREMELY configurable.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ahager88:
Agreed. 96 is off the hook.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] Kayouu:
So I ran into huge issues all of a sudden service was completely gone for about 2 days. Very occasionally I would see one bar for split sec. rdmn. Shutdowns at completely different times for no reasons? To restart phone required battery removed for a few then you, we're ok. I used wipes, rebooted nothing helped. I even had it just shut down when plugged in. Now I have service and phones been running on for about 6hrs. No problems very odd. Other people have service around me fine so I know service was ok.

Any suggestions?

[Hero CDMA Android Development] dynamicpda:
In 96, I saw a problem with the new style notification bar sticking after I pulled down on it. It would stay on the screen and overlay whatever changed underneath it--I had a hard time getting rid of it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] obsanity:
Ah, you're right. I forgot about that. But you never know. If our led supports white, you could get a nice shine for the night walks to the kitchen which could help me avoid stepping on my dog who seems to lay wherever he wants :)

So what is "drunk mode" and how does is supposed to work? (http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,2363) :p It's one of those weird ones that's still not merged but makes me wonder LOL
[Hero CDMA Android Development] stayclean:
Our LED only supports orange/red and green I believe.

That is correct, no other colors will work :)

You do realize that there is a flashlight on the power control widget, right? It just turns the screen white and the brightness all the way up, but it works. :-)

Sent from my CDMA Hero. I got some hot Froyo on Hero action here!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] feyrune:
I love the galaxy-style notification bar buttons. I was jealous of my friend's phone for a whole 3 days before that feature popped into CM. Is there a way to add the flashlight into the notification bar power widget buttons?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] pwrmedia:
+ 1 on the notification bar widgets. i've ditched switch pro w/ the new nightly setup now!

on a side note.....am i just blind, or did they remove the opt to disable orientation switch in Cyano's settings? It's still in general, but from what i remember w/ CM6, it's best to leave that setting alone in general and turn it off in Cyano to optimize performance...
[Hero CDMA Android Development] andygu3:
Just wanted to report on something good

Usually, I flash a nightly ever night on my phone and flash Dec's different kernels and try different setups. Mostly because it's fun. But the bigger reason, I try to find a good and stable bulid for my wife's phone, as she doesn't have the luxury of fixing something on the fly. Well, her setup is build 85, JIT enabled, OC widget 556-768, stock kernel. Quadrant 440, Linpack 5.3-5.4. Her up time, 229 hrs. Great job to all making this rom happen!!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noriyori:
I got a funny one.

so, I was looking for the latest nightly for my hero and realized that when I first rooted and flashed cyanogenmod I flashed cm_hero_full_122.zip which I'm gathering now is for the gsm hero? because when I searched just now for the latest build I got to this thread that points me to the nightlies for the heroc not the hero that I originally installed. am I reading right that the hero is gsm and the heroc is cdma?

my phone has been working fine flashed with cm_hero_full_122.zip but what happens when I flash cm_heroc_full_96.zip ?

should I continue with the hero nightlies or start from scratch?

thanks for any help, I'm still not used to the android modding quite yet.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
try the latest heroc nightly and see how it works. if it has issues you may want to start fresh or nand back to before you installed the gsm build.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noriyori:
Cool, I'm gonna try it now. hopefully I won't have to spend half the day on flashing...

also is the heroc 96 up to droid 2.2.1 ?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Brandito:
android 2.2.1 yes.

do a nand backup first though, it might not be ideal to run the gsm version but if it's working might as well back it up to be safe.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noriyori:
great, backing up now.

anyone else find it weird that the gsm build would work fine on the cdma phone.

and I guess by "working fine" I mean working better than the pre-installed version from credo mobile. maybe it's been really slow and I just don't know the difference.. :)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] noriyori:
WHOOPS!

I figured out what I did. I thought I installed the hero not the heroc because that's what I had in my modding folder on my computer but I forgot that I downloaded and installed the heroc using the rom manager app...

sorry!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] trentonite:
fc -> frozen at boot screen

I just installed 96 over my previous 9-16 nightly which was running fine. I didn't perform a wipe or anything, just installed as I would any other nightly. Upon rebooting fine after the install I got a ton of fcs and everything that was installed on my sd wasn't on the phone so I rebooted to see if it would 'fix' anything. Upon reboot my phone got stuck at the splash screen for "HTC" (the first screen you see). Any ideas? I've already nand. to my previous 9.16.

I guess I can try a wipe first; in that case would it just be a cache wipe or a full device wipe? I'd expect a cache since a full device would likely remove root.

thanks for the help.
