What is a nightly Build?

Can anyone tell me what is a nightly build? Ive read over at the Development forum in the Cyonegen thread. there are mentions of a nightly build ROM. What is this?
Thanks in advance

If my definition if correct, it's one that is still being worked on. Not like a regular one with a few bugs. This is like a build before they would announce it a beta/rc.
Kinda like an underground build for only the advanced

Yes. Its the 'current build'. Another way to look at it - better two beta builds.

my understanding of nightly builds are that those builds are not supported in any way, they are experimental. flashing them on our phones=120% our responsibility even if it crashes. u find links at some places but i guess theres a reason for it to not be out in the open.

Nightly build = An automatic build from a codebase.
Simple as that. Implies it's untested, and yes, could eat babies as the other replies imply.

In software development, a neutral build is a build that reflects the current state of the source code checked into the source code version control system by the developers, but without any developer-specific changes.
A nightly build is a neutral build that takes place automatically. These typically take place when no one is likely to be working in the office so that there are no changes to the source code during the build. The results of the build are inspected by the arriving programmers, who generally place a priority on ensuring the recent changes to the source code have not broken the build process or functionality of the software.
When someone says a developer "broke the build", they are effectively saying that a developer checked in code which might very well have compiled (and hopefully also run properly) in their account, but does not compile (and therefore, cannot be run) in anyone else's account. This is typically due to additional developer-specific changes that were either not checked in, or (in the case of environment variables, etc.) were modifications to systems not under revision control. One of the most common cases is remembering to check in all modified files, but forgetting to add newly created files to the repository. If the other developers check out the new code without being aware of the problem, their work may grind to a halt while they wait for the problem to be fixed (or try to fix it themselves, which can be even more problematic, if multiple developers attempt to fix the issue at the same time). This naturally can result in a significant loss of productivity.
Neutral builds are important for software development processes running at high loads with short schedules; not having them means that any build that needs to be created for the Software Quality Assurance department has to be created using code which may be in the middle of major modifications, and which would best be left out of a build for testing (particularly a build being evaluated for possible release).
Neutral builds can be done on a machine which is also used for active development if enough caution is taken, but it is safer to dedicate a machine to that purpose because an issue in the build process could cause the machine to become unstable.

Thank you everyone!!

Not sure if this is where to ask.....…but if you load the latest nightly tenderloin build for my touchpad, do you need any of the previous builds I still have not loaded

I have a HP touch pad that I was able to load android on with the help of all the xda information. My 1st question is, i have both the android and the original web os still installed. How can I wipe out the web os?
2nd I was finally able to load one of the last nightlys and I am having some issues. i see there are 2 releases and I have downloaded 1 but I have not been able to loade It

Ah ok. This is the nexus one section, so I'll suggest that you post your questions here instead which is the q&a section meant specifically for your device. You will get better info there, rather than here.

[ROM] Stock Sense/Froyo *Updated 10/13 Release* (Rooted, Deodexed & Zipaligned)

This is a rooted ROM built from a properly signed, unreleased HTC Sense/Froyo OTA package. This MAY NOT be the final HTC/Verizon release of this build, so assume it is an early leak of an upcoming release until confirmed otherwise. The OTA does NOT contain a radio update, in case anyone was curious.
ROM Details:
Deodexed and zipaligned.
Includes all system components and full boot image.
Pre-rooted with Superuser 2.3.6.1.
Ramdisk modifications to disable ro.secure, enable adb on boot and support startup scripts in /system/etc/init.d.
Absolutely nothing removed.
Installation:
You must be rooted, have nand unlocked and be running a 2.x radio. Follow dadicus' guide for details on how to perform these steps.
Perform a nandroid backup of your current ROM, in case you change your mind or encounter issues.
Apply the zip via Clockwork Recovery. It has not been tested with any other recovery.
If you are coming from another completely stock ROM (i.e. Sense 2.1 or 2.2), you may not have to wipe data. I obviously recommend wiping data (since it will eliminate any possibly bad/stale configuration), but the update script will not do so automatically during installation. Use your best judgement to determine what works best for you.
Disclaimer
As with any modification (ROM, patch, etc), you run the risk of damaging your device. While unlikely, it is important to consider this possibility before proceeding. I take no responsibility for any such damage, data loss or otherwise.

Version R1 (10/13/2010):

whats the major difference between this and stock ota?

wasn't there a rumor that the new sense is also coming to the inc? does this have any of the new features?

You're awesome thanks for this!

Also curious as to a changelog/update list

I'll put together a list of files which has changed between official releases. Beyond that I have no way of knowing. This hasn't been released so there's no changelog from HTC or Verizon anywhere.

It's not the new Sense, unfortunately. It looks like an incremental update for Froyo, probably to address bugs.

See above. I'm suspecting it's a maintenance release. It's really going to be up to us in the community to figure out what has changed until we hear something official.

I'm done with the the necessary changes. Just testing now. Should not be much longer.

Cool. it will be interesting to see what updates / modifications have been included. Thanks for making this happen!

Would be nice if we could get the new sense by the end of the year

Link is up. Enjoy!

Well, I'll get to the point soon. still modifying the post. but basically the gist of it is to check ALL of motorola's update servers for updates, not just the one that comes programmed into the device. If we're lucky and we find a hidden update, we may be able to get an unlocked bootloader (or other goodies?), which will allow us to use our device as we please (new kernels, better mods, etc)

Thanks for writing this up, I've been hesitant to try it since some of the paths/files in other posts did not exist on the Bionic.

Well, I was bold and basically just created the files. When I ran the *#*#4636#*#* test, I found that it did indeed change my could update server.
also the com.motorola.blur.setup was in /data/data/ and not the system/etc/motorola.

Thank you for this. The previous directions were based on the Atrix so there were a lot of files listed that I never saw so I felt unsafe just making them up and moving things around. I'll get on this sometime in the very near future.

Just so everyone can see it: the update label will always be for the build ID that the zip is supposed to be installed over. That means if you've got an update:
Blur_Version.1.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip --> This means the zip should be installed over devices running Build number "1."
Blur_Version.5.5.886.XT875.Verizon.en.US.zip --> This means the zip should be installed over devices running Build number "5.5.886."

Was anyone ballsy enough to attempt to install the update? It doesn't have a bootloader inside, but it may still be dangerous.

P3 flashed it and it does absolutely contain a bootloader update.
The critical pieces are the mbm.bin, mbmloader_hs.bin and mbmloader_ns.bin.
HS and NS refer to Hardware Secure and Non Secure parts and both are included in these updates because both types of hardware are present in the test groups or whomever is the intended recipient of these files.
There is not an unlock, per se, but both secured and unsecured mbmloaders are present and the updater script has a check for the ro.secure status and loads the appropriate file for the target device.
The D3 update and assumedly this file as well cannot be reverted to stock release version, so this file must be regarded very carefully and assessed before any decision to flash or not is made.
There is a LOT more discussion we need to have about these files and OMAP SoCs I think regarding the differences between them and the Tegra II SoCs and fuse arrays!
Edit: This breaks the djrbliss root method using the tcmd exploit. We need to look further and discuss with him other possibilities for root. Reverting has not been established yet and may brick since we dont have a complete XML.zip.
WARNING!!!! This is a very dangerous file to flash at this stage!!! Please do not rush into testing it yet!!!
Thanks to those who got the file and thanks to P3Droid for guinea pigging.
Oh and I have to add that clarified cheescake is an oxymoron...you garnish cheesecake with wonderful things!

So I decided that I just couldn't sleep not knowing if the root patch had been fixed. So I decided to flash the update.zip. And what I expected to happen, happened, it zapped the local.prop exploit.
So here I sit on the new build unrooted and stock. I'm fairly certain that if I try to revert back to the OG build I will have a paper weight on my desk until a full xml fastboot file can be found. I would suggest you all wait and don't flash this yet.

I suppose I was looking for the wrong things. On other devices, "ap20bl.img" was responsible for bringing such goodies as an unlock capability.

Nexus 7 4.1.2 update rolling out.

Android police just announced that a 4.1.2 update has been released to AOSP, and the Nexus 7 is apparently already receiving it!
We're releasing Android 4.1.2 to AOSP today, which is a minor update
on top of 4.1.1.
As a note to maintainers of community builds running on Nexus 7: please update to 4.1.2 at the first opportunity. Future variants of the grouper hardware will have a minor change in one of the components (the power management chip) that will not be compatible with 4.1.1.
The build number is JZO54K, and the tag is android-4.1.2_r1.
Enjoy,
Conley and JBQ
--
Jean-Baptiste M. "JBQ" Queru
Technical Lead, Android Open Source Project, Google.
Update #1: 4.1.2 has already started rolling out to the Nexus 7, though mine doesn't see it yet.
Update #2: Since I mentioned seeing 4.1.2 with this very build number in the server logs, I'll throw in the devices that I saw running it, in addition to the Nexus 7 (this doesn't mean the updates for them are out now, but rather a good indication of what's to come):
Are we ready?

JellyBean 4.1.2, the incremental follow up to 4.1.1 isn’t a major update by any means, but promises to improve performance, increase stability and fix certain bugs.
It also adds rotation ability to the homescreen, something that wasn’t possible in the previous version of the software.

Could someone please post a dump of this (or point me towards the easiest way to download it while running a custom ROM on my N7)? I'd like to hack away at pulling out the launcher and making an update.zip for it.

Hi everyone, I hope this update will fix the lag problem with few mb/gb free on my N7.
I dont want to flash the factory image cause it wipes everything.
If I flash a nexus 7 stock rooted odexed will I receive the update? What do u suggest?

Hopefully Google fixed the bad display calibration!

To be clear, What JBQ says in that post is that the source of 4.1.2 will be pushed today to the AOSP repo, he asks to the community maintainers of nexus 7 builds (such as CyanogenMod) to update the source ASAP. it does not mean that the Nexus 7 is receiving an OTA update now, I will soon I'm sure,
JBQ also said that the updated factory images will be available as soon as the OTA is, and that the change can be pulled from the commits in the repository..
That's all for now.

So I have my Nexus 7 rooted and unlocked running stock software, will I be fine to get the OTA?

Actually, there are many reports of Nexus 7 users getting the update so it is rolling out now. It also adds home screen rotation to the stock launcher.

I'm sure the community here respects all of the work that you do. My post in the other thread was not intended to "get you in trouble". There are a set of rules that every user has to follow, regardless of their contributions to the community. That being said, when I was a newer member, I accidentally broke the rules a couple of times (nothing major) and didn't want the same to happen to someone else. (I never contacted @Divine_Madcat about your other thread, in case you were thinking I did.)

Well i have to complies to the rules too but was a little chocked on how the thread got mad. Well, let's hope it won't be the same here. So that said i have no problem with you !

While i am sorry you are upset, it was not a slight at you at all. While i do try to keep an eye on XDA while at work, my job does come first and foremost, and i was unable to handle anything here yesterday (what can i say, 12 hour work days suck). As it was, i have literally nothing against you; to be frank, the report on the thread was the first i had even seen.
From my perspective, we had a placeholder thread, which is not allowed, so it was closed. I fully intended to reopen it, but gave my reasons above...
Anyway, i do wish you luck, and i really dont have any ill will to you...

So....
Do we have unlocked bootloader or a root exploit for amazon firmware 4.5.2 soon? And do you have plan to release another for Apollo?
Thanks

Nobody knows. But there are a few people working on "unlocks" (at least booting an unsigned kernel). Maybe also jcase releases his unlock (which I doubt because of legal issues).

Hi!
I have rooted Kindle Thor. How do I install this nice piece of software?
Like the Nexus rom? Currently I am on 3.2.7...
Thanks

You need to be on 4.5.2 and rooted.

Mmmmmhhh
Than this rom is basically usless
Who has a 4.5.2 Base and Rooted??? I would do it if I'll get the tools, no fear of a brick
Too bad. But Nevertheless Many thanks for the work and effort!

There are a few Users which do have an unlocked Bootloader, this Rom is only for these Users, as stated in the first Post.

I decided to make the rom available in case i loose interest in this device (or if i ever die soon). This way when (if) a root exploit is available then you'll be ready to use it.

Ok... So if there IS a possibility to unlock the actual fireos, please give some hints, instead of publishings Roms that one or two users can install, the rest is completely helpless...

Sharing hundreds of hours of work is helpless/useless for you ?
You know what ? I actually spent the whole day on porting cm-10 to current exploitable kernel for YOU :/

Everybody chill , @openWeb74, i see your point @Cpasjuste , first let me thank you for all your work, I'm pretty sure its a great Rom!
What openweb said was that maybe we should concentrate our efforts in unlocking the bootloader so even greater support can come.
Unfortunately we, the rest of us common mortals (with locked bootloaders) cannot use it.
As you said, this would work if somebody would release the bootloader-unlock , so lets play the waiting game...

The thing is I'm a common mortal like you :/ Like its said on first post, unfortunately, I do not have the tools nor the knowledge to reproduce the unlock, so I share what I can.

I really have to say sorry, if you dont know how to reproduce the hack... Mea culpa. It sounded like the hack is known, but cant be made public because of copyright issues or something like that... Then we have to wait. Nothing is secure when the right person gets a hdx... I have to say, that my actual hdx was rooted with towelroot, even easier than the nexus (less button combinations ) so i didnt expect amazon to be such a **** with newer firmwares.

Sorry for nagging you about it, but — genuinely asking — how did you do it on your device in the first place?

dear Cpasjuste, thanks for your great work, and how to install this Rom ? I am newbie, so..

OK... So you are a newbie in reading too?

I may eventually move to another tablet as I'm loosing interest in this device (because cm is working fine [emoji14]). Would someone be interested to get my device (not for free )?
