CM6 final is here!

Repeatedly. I did every trick I knew of, but nothing worked -- M for eternity. I'm just lucky I could get into recovery to flash back. :) I'll probably try another one either later this week or early next week.

You have to install a diffrent kernal, lol I was going mad stareing at the M, so I asked in IRC. I'm running last night's nightly smoothly.
Hmm. Different kernel? I didn't try that. I've never had a problem booting with the stock kernel. I wonder what changed in it.

I'll just have to bet at my PC to do that, then. I'll flash in my Chevy kernel as soon as I have the ROM updated, but only AFTER I have a backup that's current and not dated 1970-something. I kid you not, that's what my last nandroid dated out as. :D

Yea I was having the same issue and finally asked in IRC and was told to use a different kernal and bam worked like a charm this was on the first 9/12 nightly mind you (there were 2 built) so the stock kernal may be fixed by now, just trying to lend a hand good luck! dancedroid
 
That is probably the whole issue right there - I had no clue there was two 9/12 builds. I downloaded the latest one this morning and flashed it.

Have you had any issues at all with it? Its been perfect for me so far.

@furbearingmammal(or anyone else with insight),

Im extremley curious, and NOT to hijack this thread, but can you(or someone) explain to me what 'nightlies' are as far as kernels are concerned?
(can't seem to find any info about what they ACTUALLY are. #noob)

Well basically a bot builds a new nightly every night which are considered experimental and not stable, but they usually are pretty stable and sometimes have new features, sometimes a new feature will break other things (hence the experimental status) like the stock kernal that comes with CM6, so if you decide to run a nightly you do so at your own risk, there isn't really any official support.

Thx mattg1. I can conclude enough info from that. I was just kinda lost as to the whole "nightly" deal but thank you for clearing that up for me. :)

Yea sometimes features are half way functional, etc. They say "flash at your own risk" but there really isn't too much to worry about. If you can't get it to work just flash another nightly or the stable cm6 or another rom. You can find the nightlies on the cyanogenmod forums under experimental builds.

The 9/12 one that I'm running is pretty much stable for me with a jdlfg or p3 kernel on it.
 
I flashed the one from this morning (like 2am this morning) and it booted with the stock kernel, so there was something fishy with the other one. I can also confirm they have NOT fixed the BTVD (Bluetooth Voice Dialer) yet. The instructions I posted the link to still work, however, in fixing it.

It's been weeks. I'd have hoped they'd have fixed it by now! :)

Fastest bootup I've had yet, though, with Chevy's 1.1GHz ULV kernel, though.
