lol! thats dangerous! glad they pulled it then! thats the craziest thing I've ever heard! CM ain't worth **** if you're bleeding to death while trying to flash a different rom so you call 911! :D

besides, CM7 seems pretty complete to me. what more do we need really? not sure... if you want nightlies, you can always flash tsubus's ILWT rom. he updates the lastest commits once a week. the commits themselves have been very few and far between anyways. yall arent missing too much but his kernel is way better than stock cm. I'd rather CM team focus on ICS also.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
They haven't "just stopped making nightly builds". There is an ongoing hardware issue with a server that is used for this, so that's why there are no nightlies. And when nightlies resume they will still be CM7, not CM9 (ICS). Cyanogen has said that they will still be working to get 7.2 out of the door.

Also bear in mind that lack of updates to the changelog for nightlies just means changes haven't been approved. They may still be making a load of changes, just that the necessary approvals haven't been given so they are no showing up yet.

Of course there will be lots of ICS work going on within the CM team, but this isn't anything to do with the lack of nightlies.

Chris Soyars just announced on Google+ that they decided to stop CM7 nightlies indefinitely. The next time we see nightly builds, they will be CM9!

See the post and comment here
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] EdKeys:
Good News! Judging by the progress that has been made with the aosp ICS Rom here in development and the past history of the CM team, I'm thinking it won't be long now until we see the first CM9 nightly. It's also possible that before then they'll be some CM9 kangs available. I remember flashing CM7 even before the first "official" nightly was available. If anyone here hasn't taken the current ICS aosp for a test ride yet, I recommend giving it a try. It's not really ready for prime time yet, but it does give a nice preview of what good things are to come. Can't wait to see ICS with all of the CM goodies that I'm sure will be baked into it as time goes on.

Waiting for CM9 makes sense to me....why work to get CM7 nightlies rolling only to re-invent the wheel all over again when CM9 comes out?

I do know both of these things. I'm just not sure why they would stick an off-putting design like that anywhere they can.

It seems that, as far the AOSP is concerned, the "it works but it ain't gonna be pretty" attitude died with 4.0 (because ICS actually looks damn good)- so why is CM insisting on poor design choices?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] thomas_wlc:
I think what you are missing here is that everything you saw there were early drafts that the cm devs published to get a feel for what the users actually want in there lockscreen. So if you really think that symbol is so awfully off-putting, then hop on over to g+ and let 'em know.

Still I think it's way too early to claim that they are "insisting on poor design choices", since nothing has been released or has been claimed to be final. Your efforts here are simply misplaced and futile.
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] lawalty:
lol!
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] c00ller:
CM has a strong sense of identity. Their cyan Android on a skateboard has been around since day one. If you look at it from that point of view, I don't think it is something that will change (unless you or someone else designs a graphic for them to use that everyone unanimously agrees is fitting). I personally find the graphic overall neutral, and the binary-tone icon in the lockscreen render doesn't strike me as inconsistent with ICS, let alone a "poor design choice".
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] selfinflicted1:
Take away the skating android? Why not have Nike remove their swoosh logo from their products?
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I have to admit that I haven't been a fan of our green trashcan logo (android) but I've learned to except it. I do like seeing it change with OS code names and such. The strange thing is shouldn't it be a robot and not an android according to the logo? I mean its clearly a robot and not an android. Unless it can morph into human form lol! Maybe I watched too many Dragon Ball Z shows over the years ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] steviewevie:
Lol, you sound like me. One of the first things I thought about the Android logo is "why isn't it an android instead of a robot then ?"

I like it though, with and without skateboard :)

You know guys.. I really hate to bring this up, but since we've heard from the top that there will not be anymore nightlies except for the the advent of CM9 ICS (hooray!), this CM7 Nightly thread should closed?

I used to be the proud owner of the T-Mobile 3G Vibrant. Since Vibrent owners couldn't dial 911 on the CM7 nightly rom they shut down the nightlies.

Now since there is no more CM7 nightlies being released they shut down (locked) the nightly thread.

Since there is no more nightlies being release, wouldn't this thread be lock?

Personally, the CM7 soon to be CM9 community is to tightly knitted together to have this thread locked. That's my opinion.

I don't understand why anyone would want it locked. Seems like a lot of people wont jump ship till there is a stable build of 4.0
[G2 and Desire Z Android Development] sino8r:
I think that's mainly due to Motorola Android models from Verizon Wireless USA being named Droid. I always hear people calling all Android models "droids" due to that.

And nah, I don't think we should lock the thread because people might have questions or need help with the old builds which are more current that CM stable. Maybe when/if stable gets updated... we could consider it then.

It's uploading... slowly... It should be ready by 10EST/11CDT.

The t9 dialer is sick! The screen is a little funky, but it works otherwise. The green bar where the numbers appear is a little short.

Also, I did some testing- so far, cm7 seems to compile fine in ubuntu 11.10- as long as you use the brunch command. I usually use make, but for some reason, that creates fatal errors.

Here is another Kang for the latest commits. This was my first time building cm from source, so it took me a while to get it right. It boots fine after flashing over the previous 7.2.0-RC0 someone posted a few days ago with only a cache/dalvik cache wipe.

A kang just means that somebody built cyanogenmod other than the build bot. It's exactly what the build bot would be building, if it was working.
