After weeks and weeks of coding and testing, CyanogenMod 6 is now officially "stable" and ready for download. For those of you new to Android, the CM series of ROMs are based off the Android Open Source Project -- the pure building blocks of the Android OS -- with a bunch of tweaks and customizations added on, while keeping with a stock Android feel. For most phones, you'll need root and bootloader access -- you can find more information on that here -- and read through the respective threads at CM for further information if you're just starting out.

I've been using CM6 RC1 on my hero for a little while now ... not looking back.
I am using CM6 RC3, how do I get the latest stable rom or is it not out for the Incredible?
It should be in Rom manager. If it's not, Koush could still be updating it for your device. It will pop up sometime today.
Sweet, so far only RC3 is showing up.....Can't wait, this is going to be awesome
I installed CM as soon as it came out for my OG Droid. Every once and awhile, I'll get tempted by some new rom (Insanely Clean, BB, Simply Stunning, etc) but so far NONE of them have been as stable as CM.
The "stable" release of CM6 is wicket fast. My device flies. I've been trying for 10 minutes to get the thing to lag up on me, and it just keeps zipping along (and I am running ADW on top of the built in launcher)
Seriously, if you are running a device that is supported by CM, you owe it to your device to try it out.
You don't have to wipe data/cache if you're coming from RC3 (imo) but for everyone else you should do it to be safe.
Isn't the stock launcher ADW anyways on the CM roms?
Yes, but it's not the full adw. I installed adw over it because that way I can update to the latest versions when he releases it instead of waiting for an update for CM. That and I like the new skins. I use the Blue Skin because he has it skin all applications.
Does any of these roms work on the dell streak?
CM6 for sure. RC2 on the Evo, Love it.
Still no 4G... but i still love CM6~
If coming from stock froyo rooted on og Droid is it absolulty necessary to wipe data and cache??? This is the only thing stopping me from trying out custom roms.
Not sure about the Droid but it's necessary to wipe data and cache on the Evo so i would think that would be a universal rule.
Thx for reply. One more question ... does cm come with its own kernel or do you have to flash that seperate to overclock
Not sure if its only for me but in Video Camera, I have only the following options enabled in "Video quality 720p" and "MPEG4 for video encoder".
Does anybody know if I need to install any package for enabling rest of the encoding options (H264 etc) or change any setting from anywhere?
Is anybody else facing the same issue?

Cm6
You need to change the bottom setting to custom first. Then you can change the encoding.
Wow..! Thanks a lot Examiner19 for the trick :). I was not aware that there is a setting for custom under video quality also.
Thanks again. Got the option enabled.

CM6 is budda !!! on my evo !
Might be waiting a while. =/
Have had a couple reboots so far on the "stable" CM6. Am going to see what happens in the short term.
Not flashing until 4G is fixed...hopefully soon.
I may try this out once an easy root method is available for 2.2 froyo for my Evo.
2.2 has been rooted. Google it and you shall find what you're looking for.
try using universal androot and maybe that will help you. not sure if it's for the Evo just google it and hopefully this helps.
It is now available for the droid incredible.
if only CM6 included verizon backup assisstant, i'd have kept it on my phone longer than Sky Raider...
why do you need that? Google backs up all your contacts automatically, and android lets you export them to SD card for safe keeping as well.
Samsung Captivate please :)
