hey guys, do not know much about the CyanogenMod roms, I wonder what the difference between the versions and nightly snapshot?
Sorry for my bad English.

The Snapshot is a stable point where almost everything worked 100%. A couple of bugs that most people will miss and a few that is annoying but doesn't make it unstable.
The nightlies are not so well tested and receive commits from the main CM branch. They include the latest bugfixes and features but it might not be as stable.

First correct me if I'm wrong, other ppl like xonar_ definitly know more about it.
CM 7 is GB
CM 9 is ICS
CM 10 is JB
nighlys are done everyday and not much tested, I heard there are done automaticaly by a build robot
M snapshots are more tested and seem to come out every month
RC is tested a lot and the CM ppl think it is stable, if they find errors in it there will be another RC that corrects the errors, if not it will be declared stable

Everything is correct except nightly. Nightlys are only built when there are commits. Everyday means that the dev of the phone for CM has done a commit. That's why this week its everyday.

Not just the develeoper of the phone. We also receive commits from the main CM10 branch. If you look at the device specific and kernel commits then you'll see that new nightlys are sometimes being released without there being any changes too them. CM10 still has bugs on the main branch and those bugs can be fixed by any person at CM not just our awesome phone developer rmcc.

In this case, they are automatically released, this is why a later version "nightly" can not contain an adjustment that had been made in the last version (as in the case of video recording in our CM10 that worked in past releases and the latest does not work), leaving only when another snapshot version is that everything was done correctly should not it contain?
Snapshot or Release Candidates
Thanks for you wonderful explanation guys, but this might be a noobish question, if I were to choose or you are, would you pick snapshot or RC's?
Thanks! :good:

Depends on how close to the RC the snapshot is....
A snapshot from the day after a RC should be almost identical to the RC, plus (hopefully) fixes.
A snapshot far after a release could be introducing a bunch of new features (and bugs to go with them).
I'd be more interested in reading snapshot changelogs, relative to the last release or release candidate.

7.1.0 stable = nightly #143 IIRC, so it's just older version of CM7..just go with latest nightly. You can read changes from changelog.
thank you
you use it . have you any problems with this nightly version ?

No I haven't noticed any problems so far..but I have used this only for 1 day so it's too early to say anything certain..
ok
i will test it also
thank you
Nightly is the latest and greatest cutting edge from CM, but is also more prone to more bugs. Stable is better for new CM users, or for those that "heavily rely" on their CM phones as their main or only phones...

You could ask about them on the official CM7 thread. I would suggest flashing the latest Nightly, however.
thank you upichie
i ask but no answer
i will try th nightly version
There are certain problems that are known and have yet to be fixed with CM7. Developers are continuously updating it though—and that is what the Nightlies are (a new build released every night). If your problems are known issues, it may be awhile before you see a fix. But there may be simple solutions to fix whatever problems you're having.
thank you
i wait for new stable version because i can t use many application with cm7 . it fast and very nice

The only applications you should have trouble getting to work are the Samsung ones. The reason they don't work is because they are dependent on Samsung's framework, which obviously isn't found in CM7.
Every other application, if supported by your phone, should work just fine.

Not always, I've had a few nightly builds go wrong but isn't hard to make a nandroid backup. If in doubt use a stable build, I personally like the latest work from the CM7 team

That is nothing new with CM and AOSP builds. They have know app compatibility issues. Some apps just will not work like Screenshot it. It will work on every custom rom except for CM and any rom built off of it/
sorry for ignorance

Hi all,
I would like to find a proper CM9 Kang, meaning a build that is as close as possible to the CM9 source, with no or very little additions.
Does such a thing still exist?
Owain's build, excellent though it might be, is no longer a kang. Too many extra's...
Temasek isn't kanging for CM9, unfortunately.
Any propositions?
tia,
Tommmii.
How about the original CM9?
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/18090-cyanogenmod9-for-o2x-and-g2x-selfkang3/
not a bad idea, but there are many many improvements submitted to the git since selfkang3 rendering it definitely outdated.

Not so many "extras" that it would be "overkill". So where is the problem?
I guess you could use a KANG from Owain, before he added so many things and changed to an Unofficial build intead, try looking at build 30-35 perhaps?
I´m not familiar with any other kang´s other than the original kang´s.
But, Owain´s Builds aren´t that much different from the original CM9, I would give it a try.
Thanks Myller!
I´m now running owain´s latest build, and there´s not much difference (well there are, stability wise from the selfkang3).

I'll quote the dev, Owain94, himself :
also i think i should change the name this is not really a cm9 kang anymore...
still based in the big parts on cm9 but changed way to much
Anyway, there'll be an official ICS from LG soon, followed by official CM9 nightlies.

Unfortunately I don't see an ICS release from LG coming any time soon... Yes, they told that it would happen in Q2 this year, but they seem to dodge any question from costumers regarding that question.
I sincerely believe that we won't see any release from LG before Q3 2012...
You can use euroskank builds too, there are only some cherry picks

Hi All
Now Cyanogen Team said they will stop working on CM9 and they release Stable version but when I went to check the Nightly ROM I found they still working on it.
Stable mean no bugs and Nightly under upgrading to become stable.
Why they release stable ROM.
Who will explain this?

As far as i understand... When the Nightlies become better and better the developers start a feature freeze. This means no new functions or crazy experiments - just bughunting! This is made in the RC (Release Candidate) builds. If everyone is satisfied with the RC builds, it is getting stable status.
The work on new nightlies is parallel to this process, i think!

Explain what? Explain the new nightlies?
No developer would throw ICS out of the window, just because JB hit the market. Look, there are still cm7-nightlies on cyanogen build machines!
Rush
You should keep in mind that some newer version might not work well even when the development has finished due to hardware limitations.So people might want to have the maximum working version on their devices. Hipothetically if Jelly bean won't work well on our devices, then atleast we'll have a bug free ICS rom.
Hi All,
I remember that we will not be receiving next major version of Android by CM becoz of lack of NEON instructions. I only wonder, if we will still get CM 10.2 or our last version will be CM 10.1.
Can anybody with CM insider knowledge answer?
I can only see that there was not created CM10.2 branches in our P990 github related repositories, which is bad sign to me.
Edit: Answer is Yes, CM10.1 is last version.
CM 10.1 seems to be the latest official version of cyanogenmod. But just look at all the gifted developers in the development thread. I guess someone will get it working on our device .
I think even some time ago pengus or tonyp mentioned that they like the challenge ....:thumbup:
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
Yes, I have read tonyp's thread and there was mentioned that CM team officially won't support 10.2 for our phone. But I hope Pengus and Tonyp will make something But it's quite possible that it will be a little bit unstable and glitchy...

Thanks, I know about it. But unfortunately it will not be official CM, only experimental.
It's great that there are still developers who want to keep our device up to date :fingers-crossed: , but looks like it's time to look around for next future device.

Get this straight, nightlies are built over a night. They say that Rome wasn't built in a day. So you can't in anyway expect the Rom to be problem free. There might be some new issues with the Rom that previously weren't present in the last stable release. Nightlies usually bring updated sources, new experimental features that might not work properly and are meant to be implemented perfectly in the next stable release. Nightlies are built for amateurs that expect a new version release at the soonest possible time ( in short for people that are curious about ETA ) .
