Cyanogen Mod 6.1 Release Candidate 1

[CandymanMike]

I am happy to bring you CyanogenMod 6.1 RC 1 for Dream/Sapphire. All credit goes to the Cyanogen Team. Neither myself nor M3 had anything to do with the creation of this ROM. We are simply bringing it to you with permission from the Cyanogen Team. This is the first release candidate for CyanogenMod 6.1. It is not a finished product. If you have been running Cyanogen Nightlies, this will be very much the same as the nighlty builds are the test builds leading up to this release. Enjoy and thanks again to Cyanogen and his team! For support of this ROM please visit the CyanogenMod Website.


CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.2 (Froyo) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone

This is a release candidate, but you will find it stable enough for everyday use.

* you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh at you.

This is an AOSP-based build with extra contributions from many people which you can use without any type of Google applications. I found a link from some other project that can be used to restore the Google parts, which can be found below or elsewhere in the thread. I've still included the various hardware-specific code, which seems to be slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Visit the CHANGELOG for a full list of changes and features!

All source code is available at the CyanogenMod Github! Send pull requests with your changes!

It's important to know that the "DangerSPL" (or DeathSPL or Haykuro's SPL or whatever you prefer) is a prerequisite for Dream/G1 users. Magic (MT3G etc) users do *not* need to do this. Ciwrl has written a guide to installing this bootloader. Flashing this bootloader under the wrong conditions can actually brick your device, so pay attention to the guide. CM releases have always avoided this requirement, but the new bootloader frees up enough space so that no crazy hacks are required for a fully functional system, and it's easier to keep in sync with the N1/Droid releases.


INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 6 to your Dream/Sapphire (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Unlock/root your device and install Clockwork Recovery via ROM Manager or Amon_RA's recovery image
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. Update your radio if necessary
4. WIPE
5. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Addon

- Upgrading from earlier CM6?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)

HOW TO REPORT BUGS OR PROBLEMS?
- Was it a hard reboot? Get me the file "/proc/last_kmsg".
- Was it a soft reboot or a "boot loop"? Run "adb logcat" and get me the full output.
- Pastebin links preferred
- Please use the issue tracker whenever possible!

Please visit the CyanogenMod Wiki for step-by-step installation walkthroughs and tons of other useful information.

I've been rocking this Mod for two days

my first impressions are good of the ROM esp since it it's an RC1. I had to do some custom modding of the ROM to take some of the stuff i don't use out of it and added the 2D Gallery from CM5 and it's pretty smooth of me.

i tried it the other day but had no Market? what gives, how do i get market on on the Cryogen Mod, also are there any Ram Hacks to increase speed and performance?

Did you flash the GAPPS, and yes you can use SetCPU, Swapper2 and some other memory management programs out there.

yes, the Market is in Google Apps, or GApps as neidlinger says
