I highly recommend CM6 Froyo, much much better in stability, battery consumption wise,ease in modding, speed & features than GOT Froyo.

oh ya, the CM6 mod does not include the stock Google apps. U have to dl them from here: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?titl...ion#Google_Apps

Just put it in ur "update" folder of the recovery that u are using, then flash it from recovery

First post updated with links to Froyo downloads

Good job on the instructions there xxboxx!

btw, memhack is enabled by default in CM6

Feels snappier for me. I test by pressing screen preview for Launcher Pro. In 2.1, it was a little choppy. In CM6, it's butter smooth biggrin.gif Of course the overall experience seems to be faster for me too

That said, there are some minor bugs here n there (a stand out one might be when going back to homescreen, sometimes it takes a while to load the widgets. phone reboots while connecting usb for sd card access), but I think the extra built-in features of the mod are worth the hassle here

It is the CM6 problem, latest update definitely fixed/lessens the random reboot issue.

using CM6 0.03 now, can i just update without wiping all the thing to 0.04?

Wipe cache first just to make sure nothing goes wrong.

my camera on auto focus is ok, but can't work on macro, the focus square thing doesn't even appear. does your macro focus appear the square box?
*
Focus box won't appear too, but it still can snap photos

There's another update for CM6 dated 22nd Nov. It might fix the camera issue. Downloading now!

CM6 users, have u heard of the Gingerbread theme for our phone? An XDA member has created one specifically for our CM6 mod. I've tested it and it looks & works great! biggrin.gif

QUOTE
Things to look out for
- New notification status bar icons
- Animations for closing or opening of windows and settings.
- Lots of other cool stuff


FYI, here's the XDA thread:

Use the same method when u flash the CM6 mod. Apply update through Recovery. Don't forget to wipe cache & Dalvik cache.

Note: if u update to the latest version of CM6 when it's released, u will need to reapply the theme

Nice post on the installation guide there Charcoal! rclxms.gif I'll update it in the first post when I have the time.

Note for those who are unaware: for Cyanogen install, wipe data/fac reset only during first install. Installing subsequent updates does not require a data reset, unless u wanna lose ALL ur data tongue.gif

Also, for those who use LauncherPro in CM6 and experience the frequent reload of the homescreen, try moving the app to the /system partition and delete the one on /data (using ADB or Root explorer) then reboot ur phone. It works for me. Tried it yesterday and zero homescreen reload since biggrin.gif

use vignette. Much better than stock camera.
[/spoiler]
And actually no need nandroid backup, coz it will just backup the stock rom, no additional apps or user data will be backup. I try recover b4, damn, all my data gone.. doh.gif
You should put guide for data backup, such as sms and apps.
*
Nandroid backup should include apps & data as well, I've tried it before. It works by "copying & pasting" everything including settings etc. Only thing that don't work properly is that the time will change. Maybe u didn't use the backup all option?

QUOTE(under18 @ Dec 28 2010, 12:16 AM)
what is the full path for /system and /data for the launcherpro apps?
i cant find in /data the launcherpro
*
before moving: /data/app/com.fede.launcher-2.apk
after moving: /system/app/com.fede.launcher-2.apk

Ok I've noticed some reloads now, but only after I use a memory intensive app, like 3D Gallery & certain games. Still, it's much less than before

Thanks charcoal, for the super useful guide. now mine is running on froyo !


Added on December 28, 2010, 1:46 pmquestion, how do i overclock on cm6 ?

It seems to restart maybe like few days once..

I had random reboots since a few builds ago, but much less in the latest one

after flashing to CM6, i find that returning to the homescreen after opening any apps/games can be pretty laggy. overclocked @ 800mhz though. Is it possible to uninstall the adwlauncher ? lanucherpro seems to be more stable for me

Use Root Explorer or ADB to delete

Eager to try out the latest sbf. But I've come to live with the CM mod features, kinda hard to go without them now.

Then again, the LauncherPro keeps reloading issue seems to be getting worst and I'm considering giving the Brazilian sbf a go
