Hi,
I'm about to get a Z1 in a few days so I stalked the forums already.
So I noticed something that confuses me.
I found the CM11 Thread by FreeXperiaProject and I also checked the original CyanogenMod Homepage.
So it seems like there are the official CM Nightlys and the FreeXperiaProject release of CM11.
Which of them is "the right one" ? Should I stick with the forums and use the FXP Version or the official one?
Is there a difference at all?
Hope you can enlighten me

wow .. that was ... not helpful at all.
As I said: I already found BOTH the FXP and Official CM11 releases/nightlys.
And call me stupid but I could not find any infos about differences in both versions on the CM Download page.

Your question was, "Should I stick with the forums and use the FXP Version or the official one?", my response was a link to the official, I thought that was clear enough. There's most often no difference except that the common CyanogenMod code is generally newer in the official releases.

Hey guys so I recently heard that the Sprint HTC One started receiving CyanogenMod 10.1 nightlies.
Sure enough I checked it out at the get cm site, and they're there!
I'm currently running the nightly from 5/14 and it's smooth/ stable enough for a daily driver rom (In My Opinion)
What I would like to know is where I could find some changelogs for the new builds/ who's behind this awesomeness.
I checked the CyanogenMod wiki, but the only information I could find was that it's being maintained by "kushdeck"
Can someone please find out more information about the dev/ changelogs between builds/ etc...
I checked the android development section and there aren't any posts relating to this.

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.

it isn't really experimental only the camera doesn't work and all cm10.1 bugs are included but cm10.2 is smoother and hdmi is partly fixed
Hi Guys!
I am curius if there are any differences between the newest FXP and the most recent official CM 11 ROMs?
Asking because I am planning to flash CM in the next couple hours/days and am not quite sure wich version I should take, but i guess I would prefer the official one, just because, well, it's official
As far as I know, the pretty much only bugs are the non working GPS which shouldn't be THAT kind of a deal, I am gonna be able to live without it until it gets finally fixed.
Thank ypu for your answers, i hope my English isn't too bad (out of Europe AND typing on the phone, that can't end good )

I recently flashed CM11 2014/01/16 (experimental) onto my z1 C6903 and my GPS doesn't work, as you rightly point out. Yet here it is suggested that the GPS is fixed.
Is anyone else running the most recent official (not fxp) cm on C6903 and can confirm for me whether or not their GPS works?
Thanks.
I've been wondering for awhile now, which is better? The official CM11 builds, or the unofficial FXP builds for Xperia T? If anyone's tried both recently, please give your thoughts on performance, battery life, stability, etc. comparisons between the two. Thanks!
Personally I think both are not great. Non of the custom roms are

That's not helpful, dude...if you're not going to contribute to the discussion then don't post. Thanks anyways though.
You're asking people for there opinion and i gave mine. I tried every rom so yes it does contribute to the discussion

When you simply say that you dislike both ROMs and all custom ROMs on the T in general, that's not contributing. It doesn't help anyone decide between CM11 and FXP. The discussion is about how you think these ROMs compare to each other. If you're just gonna say that you think they both suck, then there's no point in posting.
I suggest you know the "difference", if you could call it like this, of these two ROMs?
If not, I'll quote myself from another thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=54754522&postcount=1049)
They've [FPX] got their own FXP releases (unofficial CM releases) which do not come that frequent (with their own boot animation e.g.); in the meantime they work on official CM - so they make the nightlies and your [CM] M9, too.

Meaning: FXP releases necessarily/of course contain CM code, because they maintain/supply CM for our Xperias. For FXP unofficials don't come as frequently as CM nightlies, the chance of getting a stable build is bigger than with CM nightlies. Because the FXP releases always contain FXP boot animations, these will never be official CM builds - what, in the end, implicates that neither FXP nor CM is better per se.
I'd prefer FXP over CM nightlies, but a CM snapshot over FXP relases. Just a feeling - there's no absoulte answer.

TX here, but if I had to recommend one, I'd go with FXP, since I know that they at least do own a T, and can develop properly; at least it would seem so. Obviously FXP uses CM code.
On the other hand, if I had to choose, I'd choose neither and go with one of the Omni builds made by @tilal6991, since he's actually implemented fixes that, as far as I know, the "real" developers haven't done yet.
Most of the problems I see T users reporting (such as the blue screen flickers) are because they are using FXP/CM builds, and, as far as I know, Tilal fixed that, as an example.
We do not allow comparison threads on XDA, comparing or asking which is best can be seen as disrespectful towards the developers who's work is being compared. Besides the question is subjective.

Official nightly builds is a good start, no?

Quoted from the android headlines.com article:
"Of course, if this is your first time trying CyanogenMod then you do need to be made aware that this is a ‘nightly’ download. This first and foremost means that you are going to see far more regular updates landing for the ROM once it is installed. Sometimes, literally, on a nightly basis (hence the name). It is also worth pointing out that this also means that it is considered an experimental build and not fully stable. That said, you are unlikely to experience anything too problematic. However, with these nightly builds it is at least wise to expect (and prepare) for some minor bugs. Not to mention, it would be wise to make sure all your important data is backed up."
