Just switched back yesterday. Just wipe data, cache and dalvik. Mount system (do it!) And install cm. Don't forget gapps. Works fine

I don't think anyone's tried yet. You should be able to SBF if something goes wrong. And if you can't make the jump, you'll need to SBF anyway. So, you might as well try it.

Do I need to flash the initial RC back from June or can I just flash one of the newer nightlies along with gapps? I have all of them on my SD card, but I would really like to avoid flashing the original buggy version then going back in and flashing another nightly. TIA!

Nope. Just flash the nightly like I said earlier along with gapps. You'll be good to go! Just don't forget to mount system :)

regarding the icons being more "iphonelike", will all icons look like that? if i were to download a really obscure market app, would this rom auto-format the icon to make it uniform with the rest?

and could we use a different camera app that supports 720p?

As far as the icons, yes. It puts it in the same box dimensions as the others.

the one thing that really grabs me about this rom is the support... i saw on miui website that it is updated every friday... any chance it gets ported after every update or is that not likely?

so this is a gingerbread rom but we have to sbf back to froyo to flash it... i get the reasoning -- we need the froyo kernel in order to use 2nd-init.. but still, i dont feel great about using the froyo kernel for a gingerbread rom... can someone explain a little bit more about 2nd-init? does it freeze the kernel and then use a different kernel?

I love the themes on this ROM, but the lack of an app drawer really sucks.

A bit too iPhonish for me.

Back to CM7 it is....

read the writeup, very interesting, still dont feel great about using an outdated kernel, but i know that "newer version" doesnt necessarily mean better, so ill be giving this a try. i read somewhere cvpcs saying that the kernel was trivial anyway. i can always go back eh?
