AOKP-JB-Encore-Abridged Builds ::Coming Soon:: - Nook Color General

Hello, my name is AgentCherryColla. I'm a big fan of AOKP, but we don't have a current build. So I'm taking on the Project head on. There will be 3 phases.
1) Pirate Builds.
The Pirate builds will be based of the RC builds of CM10.1, and (possibly) the Nook Tablet. These will most likely have broken features, and might just be fun to test out and see.
2) Elementary Builds.
These will be builds based of AOSP source. I will build AOSP 4.2.X and build AOKP for the Nook Tablet. Then port over AOKP. These builds will have....
×Speed Tweaks
×Slimmed Down
×Netflix Fix
×Custom Built CM10.1 Launcher
During this time I'll work on getting 100% soucre builds going.
3) Unofficial : WizardLife AOKP
This will be the final phase. Builds with no copypasta ports. Pretty Much like MRom, but AOKP based.
This will take time. Expect builds Maybe Sunday? I'll keep this updated as much as possible. I pretty much have no life this summer outside work, and the lady. So expect to see progress, just slowly.
If anybody has any tips, guides, speed tweaks, kernel tweaks, etc. Let me know. I'll try my best to make it happen.
THANKS

Unofficial nightlies?????????????

I dunno I seem to remember there being Nightly's and stable releases. Now we have Unofficial Nightly's. Why? This isnt going to continue is it? Eventually we will get back to just Nightly's and Stable right? Not that its a big deal just seems unnecessary.
As I look through the threads I see there are a good number of people running these Unoffical Nightlys so maybe someone can explain to me the difference between Official and Unofficial. Are they that bad that they cant be official? If they are that bad why are so many people running them? Seems to reason that the unofficial is stable enough so cant we just make them official for god sakes. I mean really whats the worst that can happen? Its not like Cyanogen is going to be sued. Its already assumed that official nightlys are not going to be stable so whats the problem?
Official is being built by the Cyanogen servers and released at their discretion. The unofficials are users creating their own builds (usually with modifications) and being released separately.
That being said, CM7 has been in development for a while so there are both nightlies and stable releases. CM9 is still in early development, and Cyanogen team hasn't been releasing nightlies yet. The ones you see are users releasing it on their own.
You're either not very smart or a terrible reader. Unofficial simply means private individuals are taking it upon themselves to regularly post private builds that they made themselves, for others to take for a test drive. Official builds would come directly from CM, which has not happened yet.
Get a clue.
Perhaps your highness would be kind and gracious enough to direct us to a place where we could read that explanation (assuming, of course, that we can read such lofty material)..
Tongue firmly in cheek.. but.. hey Dude.. lighten up.

I'm kind of confused due to your confusion
What "Unofficial Nightly's" and "Official Nightly's" you are seeing?
Don't tell me that you are confusing the Official Nightly's of CM7 and the Unofficial Nightly's of CM9.
Two different things.
Im sorry! Im trying to keep up with the development of the Nook Color, HTC Droid Eris, and the Galaxy Nexus and I lost it. LOL Not too mention my search for the perfect router to finally rid me of that god awful Linksys WRT54GS combined with the overkill Smoothwall finally ended. My home network has been in shambles till recently. Again I apologize. Its purely my mixup and clearly nothing to do with the information provided at XDA. I just needed to search a bit more. Or I could have asked like I did here but maybe in a more positive tone. Im sorry for that as well.
So I recently purchased the GNEX and I love ICS. OMG I cant tell you how nice it is to finally have a proper smart phone with polished Android Goodness. I want the same for my Nook. From what ive read so far the "Unofficial Builds" seem to run pretty good. Users reporting it runs as good as CM7. Is this true? I mainly use my Nook for watching Netflix and Hulu. I do some light browsing as well. Would the latest build work well enough for me to hop in now?
Thanks for your help and understanding!
I don't know how far but CM9 is far from stable as CM7

Awesome. Reading comprehension skills FTW.
CM9 is nice. Personally, I'd wait for solid wifi and any true resolution on HW accel.
CM7 had 'official' stable releases and 'official' nightlies built by the CyanogenMod automated build process. The last stable was 7.1 but there were nightlies after that which continued to fix some remaining problems.
Back in mid November 2011 the build process suffered from some hardware failures and the nightlies stopped appearing. At the same time ICS was being released and the devs switched their attention to that (CM9) and, although the build process got repaired, the CM7 nightlies were never restarted.
There were some outstanding issues in CM7 that had got fixed but never built by the official process into either a stable or a nightly. That is where the 'unofficial' builds stepped in and built new ROMS from the source incorporating the latest fixes and including some other improvements. The most common of these is the MiRaGe build found in the thread in development and that has been very stable, gives great performance and is often referred to as 7.2
CM9 is effectively still in an alpha form and does not have official nightlies or 'stables' yet. The developers did encourage people to learn how to build ROMS from the source and some have now made these 'unofficial' nightlies available.
Some find these unofficial CM9 nightlies good and stable enough for daily use; I am one. There are trade offs; the CM7 ROMS are generally a bit snappier in performance and there are one or two limitations in CM9 functionality (e.g. hw video acceleration) but this is balanced by a significantly nicer user interface and functionality in CM9. You just choose based on what is important to you.
Nandroid backups are always your friend and allows you try out various options at low risk and just a few minutes to fully restore to a former point.
Thanks for the summary and info.
But how well does Hulu and Netflix work? Right now thats the most important thing.
Im currently running CM7 stable with the processor clocked at 925. I see alot of people running overclock kernels so when you say CM9 isnt as snappy to which are you comparing to. Low end or high?
Either. I'm running CM9 at 1200 right now and there is still lag (haven't done any tweaks though, working on other things). Besides that, I don't think Netflix is working on CM9 yet. If you are wanting stability, smoothness, and more application compatibility, CM9 isn't quite there yet.
It's funny how the people calling the OP clueless seem blissfully unaware of the situation with nightlies the last few months, but bobtidey broke it down well. The automated system for CM7 nightlies is broken, but the updated source is still available, and some people are sharing their builds from source (MiRaGe being the most reliable atm).
If Hulu and Netflix are your priorities, CM9 is probably not for you just yet. You can try it out a number of ways,
As bobtidey said, back up your current build, flash CM9, and if you're not happy go back.
Set it up on SD--there's a link in my sig for that, just grab CM9 and a compatible gapps instead of CM7.
Repartition the NC and set up a dual boot like mine (also linked in my sig) with MiRaGe's CM7.2 and Samiam's CM9.
If you just want a fresher flavor and don't want to mess around too much, I'd say go w/ MiRaGe's build.
Blah! It is what it is. As stated things have been pretty hectic around here. Now that I think of it things are always hectic. So I overlooked something and needed correction.
I just may dual boot. Ive wanted to try MiRaGe for awhile now anyways. I hear great things. Should be a nice upgrade over CM7 stable right? Thanks for info!

[ROM] [4.1.1] OFFICIAL codefireX Jellybean Nightlies

These are official codefireX JellyBean Nightlies brought to you by Synergy(e) and TeamCodefire. These use official CM device repos and are built from source nightly. THIS MEANS IT HAS ANY BUGS THE CM10 NIGHTLIES HAVE.
codefireX is a CM10 spinoff with the goal of providing additional power-user features (contained in the codefireX settings panel) while still maintaining full upstream CM compatibility for automated CM merges daily for the nightlies. This means the nightlies are fully up to date with the CM10 nightlies, however you get additional features as well! The codefireX settings panel will become more populated with features as this project progresses, and more device nightlies will also be added.
The codefireX github is HERE. Changelogs are not available, however you may use github (always current). The maintainer for this will not respond to questions on this thread, so please help your fellow android user out or visit twitter/IRC

Same here.
Well I suppose the most interesting thing is the codefireX settings panel, which I guess will be pretty similar as what we can find on other devices. (Changing DPI, tablet mode, battery style...). It seems like an alternative to AOKP. I would be glad to try it too, but indeed the download link is broken

Here is the correct link:
http://synergy.codefi.re/codefireX-i9300
Rom installed, I quickly tested the codefireX settings panel. (The main change I suppose from original CM10). Of course it is too early to provide a full review. Being a fan of AOSP roms, I will spend some time on this new rom. It is interesting for people looking for a bit of extra-customisation without getting too complex.
Before people start posting 'Hey youtube does not work in landscape mode', this rom is using the new HW Composer, you need to use an app like 'Screen Filter' to watch fullscreen videos until this is fixed by CM10 team (When the kernel source will be released I guess).
Thanks for posting. Any difference from here?
People this rom is fing good.
We are looking at a team with a very high level of coding knowledge and are very well organised (10 different devices on the go at once).
I first had contact with synergye and the team on the HTC velocity. Man what a difference they made. Took the stock thing and turned it on its head. In particular the kang bang kernel, always built with the latest and best parts and coded to perfection. He made loads of different changes most notably sound improvements and battery life increase and his own scheduler with a really good deep sleep. I think at one stage synergye put in fifty hours straight into that device. Only to find out that device was dead in terms of development, I am so happy I got an sgs3 now that this has landed I am busting.
Anyway I digress.
This rom so far is very good, stable as a rock and well implemented.
The codedirex system options are very usefully no unnecessary nonsense. The prop moder has some good options for system tweaks. One of my favorite options is the kill all button you can add to the recent apps screen. The rom uses a minimal amount of ram. The sound levels are spot on and sound great.
Seriously I could ramble on for ages.
The last thing I am gonna say, and I am in no way affiliated with the group, swing these block's a donation if you can. The quality of work is second to none and always coded to the highest standard. I have donated in the past and I will do so again.
Also I am not saying that other developers are below par in anyway, ie teamasek is one of the most up to date devs I have seen. A release almost everyday. Wow.
I am just giving an account of my experience.
Id have to agree with everything you say - easily the most impressive ROM i've tested since leaving stock. Any outstanding bugs in the CM10 tree were barely evident whilst running this ROM. I'm waiting for SuperNexus build 3 then i'll be back onto codefireX nightlies.
I'll be donating! : )
Any new build soon or is this rom already dead?

What are the benefits of 4.2 over 4.1?

Hi,
I was thinking about this because, almost every 4.2 rom for the Atrix HD as a lot of problems (camera, battery drain, etc), it's worth?
Flashed AOSPizza and its incredible and can't find anything that I miss from 4.2 so that's my focus: why don't put effort on 4.1 which is running great since (to me) there aren't so many differences with 4.2?
A 4.1 version of Paranoid Android would be awesome for example. Just putting the debate on the table
Right now the benefit is broken camcorder...:silly:

I totally agree with Neo. In fact, most dev threads run developments from 4.2 down to even Froyo!
Many devs prefer to dev on top of a proven daily rom because it's pretty much documented.
I would suggest working on a 4.1 with everything working. GPS, camcorder, data, lagless,etc
This would be a dev job on 4.1 with the purpose of tweaking a proven working rom.
Even I feel the same, why dont we make a fork of the cm 10 when we have working cam and gps everything?
Why people are goin after cm 10.1 or 4.2.

Because its newer, simple as that. And a lot of custom roms don't do CM10 based anymore -- all CM10.1. I mean, if PAC, Slim, AOKP, PA or whatever were still doing 10 it would be worth doing.
I mean, I could probably\maybe do a 10 based rom, but first release would pretty much be it. Our devs don't really do CM10 anymore, nor do the major projects.
Android 4.2.3 and a 3.4 kernel is where we're gonna be in the future. We just need to be patient enough for Hashcode and the rest of the gang to get 3.4 working. Lots of progress has been made, but its not all the way ready. Personally, while inconvenient, I can live without gps and camcorder because I know that I'd rather have them working on a better 3.4 kernel for us than trying to fix our current out of date kernel.
I'll look into doing a 4.1 based PAC, but that's as much as I care to do for CM10 other than help someone else start their own CM10 based project.
EDIT
Gonna try and make PAC Jellybean 4.1 based on XT926 CM10 unlocked bootloader sources and kernel. Wish me luck

[Unofficial Omnirom] Slim Build

First ROM be nice...
This is pretty much a straight forward repo sync from omnirom using the Google blobs for the mako (nexus4)
The plan is to make a slim build mainly for myself but thought I would share.
Reason behind it is the Omnirom guys are doing better job IMO right now with the source and fixes etc then cm11 which I have been playing with, I was building from aosp but seems a bit boring waiting for Google updates and I am a nightly updating addict and wanted to see some changes.
The first build is NOT slim want to make sure it is working, it is working great for me but I like to keep things as slim as possible so will be cutting out everything I can.
This is only the third ROM, cm11, aosp and now omnirom which seems to be the better of the bunch which I have built so don't expect too much right now.
Downloads;
omni-4.4-20131203-Unoffical_Not-Slim.zip
omni-4.4-20131204-Unoffical_Slim.zip
I recommend the mini modular PAgapps from here;
PAgapps
Thanks to Omnirom, Google, Paranoid Android and xda itself as a learning resource.
First Slim Build is up and working well
Still loads I want to do but lots of learning to do, if anyone does give it ago please leave some feedback.
Cheers

AOSP vs CM11 - Speed and Stability

Hey all! I'm building a ROM and was wondering what your thoughts were on speed and stability on CM vs AOSP. From my experience, CM is faster but not as stable, and AOSP isn't as fast but is stable.
Please vote and/or comment on your thoughts!
CM tends to have worse battery, in my experience

Here are my beliefs (anyone feel free to correct me):
AOSP is rock solid (usually). It's not the fastest, but that can be fixed. It lacks features.
CM on the other hand isn't the most solid base, but they're very good about fixing bugs. They've got (arguably) one of the largest developer teams working on an aftermarket firmware. They do have more features as well.
What you need to answer is this: How clean of a base do you want to start off with? Do you want to go for AOSP and market it as simple and close to stock with hand-picked features and optimizations? Or do you want to start off with a CM base, having features that are now nearly ubiquitously considered "necessary"?

I've never experienced this, but I can see it happening because of the smaller range of kernels (since it's CAF).

Valid points, I see CyanogenMod being geared as much more developer friendly and extensible, they even have better documentation for AOSP's tools than AOSP does
I want the ROM to be stable and fast, but also ready for customization, where I see AOSP not being very extensible.
So speed and stability is democracy now?
Actually if you are building a ROM from source, you are better off starting with aosp and merging the caf patches then go from there. You can look at patch commits/gerrit to see how to add in the features that you want since the code is normally available to see and will give you what line and all. In the process, you have something to call your own and learn the coding structure and source which is invaluable

cm was fast until about mid 2012. then they just started piling on as much as possible into the rom and it has been slower since. when steve(cyanogen) used to spend much time working on cm kernel, thats when cm was known for speed, back in the beginning and a little after cm started. back then, they werent about feature, more about minimalism. now its all about feature.
AOSP>CM
Always.
At any aspect.
CM has become so low and weak ROM since 2013. In the past it was the fastest and the most non-bull**** custom firmware but now as it's available for so many devices it's become sluggish, slow and the quality doesn't even exist. Another thing against CM is that they decided to use CAF code on Nexus devices. I can't understand it as well as other devs working in Nexus sections. I remember CM7 on my legendary HTC G2. It was so fast and damn feature-filled as for those times. Now it's gone. Formerly, my first thought on custom ROMs was CM, now it's quite different... I am so disappointed with CM nowadays.
Just my opinion tho ?

The hell are people knocking caf code for??? It is aosp code with fixes for specific hardware by the people who actually make the hardware, wtf would you not use it for????
As far as cm fast, bwhahahahahaha, it hasn't been fast since about cm4 back on the g1/mytouch when dwang came into the picture. Cm's goal evolved to bleeding edge features and getting on as many devices as possible while dwang was straight aosp Roms with speed and stability as the goal

If you own a nexus CyanogenMod is just as stable if not more so. Latest nightly is flawless.
I actually installed 30/6/2014 Nightly and seems faster to me in some areas, such as animation smoothness.
I was on PA 4.4 Final previously and hadn't touched CM11 for 3+ months.
Both were tested with latest Adreno drivers(June), same kernel, same kernel settings and the same Gapps; only the ROM changed.

Isn't Velocity the ROM that has ART by default? And lots of commits to ART. Still, ART is experimental in KitKat, so in the L release there will be lots of changes. I'd rather use something which doesn't have commits to something experimental(such as ART).
Also, I must note that Velocity has changed the animation to 0,75. This results as being "faster" (because of transition) but it's not. Try testing both @ 1.0 animation speed and see for yourself.

A real test would be turning animations completely off and seeing what's faster. That's where real speed and optimisation can be noticed. 1.0 is just too damn slow.

I actually installed 30/6/2014 Nightly and seems faster to me in some areas, such as animation smoothness.
I was on PA 4.4 Final previously and hadn't touched CM11 for 3+ months.

Try stock AOSP, way faster than PA.
I've got 2 nexus 4s so I can do nexus 4 vs nexus 4. Nothing beats stock jellybean.

stock jellybean??? kitkat??
I'm stock unrooted on my n5 so far, running art and no animations. Feels blazingly fast to me. I miss custom Roms for the themes and a couple features they usually include but other than that stock has been almost 100% stable even with art.
I reboot it once every week or two and saw one soft reboot the other day in the couple months I've had it, not sure what caused it.
Still trying to decide if its worth rooting and what ROM to run. I like art which rules out stock with xposed.
I've been a chronic ROM flasher on every phone I've had until this one. It just works so good I'm afraid to mess with it. Especially when I've got warranty.
