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!

Best\Most Stable Rom?

Hi i just bought a new Hp touchpad.
I want to know what is the best rom for it.
I know that there are cyanogen 7 and 9 ports.
There are things that are not working on some of them , so if cynogen 7 is working and stable i think i would install that and wait for cyanogen 9 to become stable.
Can you give some advice , what to do , which rom shoud i install.
Thank you , and sorry if this is a noob question

CM9 alpha 2, its stable and actually running better than cm7

There are also several "kang" builds in the Dev section. I've been running CherryKang lately, with good results.

Thans guys , so have you had any problems with these roms?
Except the camera are there some other quirks?
And do you know how long is the period between releases ?
Thanks again

The cherryrom still doesn't have Netflix working but has HD YouTube working (it states that in his top post). The nightlies have everything working from alpha2 with only a couple changes that will be merged into the next official release anyways. The cornerstone ROM is really slow and bricked ROM hasn't seen public releases after alpha2. And there's protekk's AOKP and classnerd, neither have Netflix working either.
I say go for the nightly. And I guess development has slowed because everyone is waiting on dalingrin for new stuff. I'm guessing the kernel is going to be updated to 3.0 and or they're working on audio.
Samsung Captivate CM9 - Glitch Kernel | HP TouchPad CM9 - Bricked Kernel

I honestly haven't tried Netflix (I guess it's not working), and only a few games. There are a few notable ones that don't work, but for normal stuff it's all good. The main problem that I've had with CM (I've only used CM9 and skipped CM7), is that the TP will essentially lock up, often times when charging on the touchstone charger. That said, ever since upgrading to the latest CherryKang (0.9), I haven't had a single issue (knock on wood). I have tried Bricked and the official CM9 alpha and both did the same thing, so I think it's just a Cm issue (there are a few similar issues going around, it seems).

Go for AOKP.
M4 has working netflix and youtube.

I personally haven't found a rock solid rom , but there are a few that are really close to it. I'd say try the new cherry-kang v9.2 with o/c , HD youtube' + netkflix etc. Syn(3.10.2012). Its fast and reliable. I have to reset my Wi-Fi the least with this one.

I'm running aokp and nextflix and YouTube work no problem for me

I'd have to agree with the above post, the latest CherryKang (standard cm9 version, not the bricked rom) has proven the most stable for me. Unless you expect to be using the camera/microphone a great deal on the TouchPad, I would definitely suggest taking the jump to CM9.
I did just flash the Cornerstone 1.1 rom w/ 120 DPI patch, and although there have been a couple of very minor glitches, it's performing fairly well so far. (I was forced to reboot my TP-audio distortion- and my wifi reconnected without me having to use the forget the network/reboot rescue method. I haven't personally tried the AOKP Milestone 4 rom, so you might want to check out that thread and decide for yourself.
As for your question on release dates, other than the nightlies, they come out whenever the developer has something new to put out. Since I've been following these forums, it's generally taboo to openly ask a developer for the next release date. Doing so may make you susceptible to verbal reprimand from other members. Personally I'm not blasting you, but I don't want to see someone else fire back at you in a more harsh manner in the future.
Good luck with whichever rom you decide to flash!
HTC Thunderbolt - Shifts3ns3 3.1; HP Touchpad CherryKang v9.2;

I've recently been running AOKP M4 with great results, I like it
CyanogenMod 9 Alpha 2 is also fantastic
I wouldn't really suggest any others though.

I have cm9 on mine and Wifi doesn't reconnect a lot after waking from sleep. Ill check out this cherry one I guess.

I'd vote for AOKP. Its running really well on my touchpad.

[Q] xperia T official cm10.1

hi guys, I really searched a lot on the web but couldn't find the answer to my question..
I was thinking to buy this phone, and as I love cm (10.1), I was looking if this phone is well supported.. it seems so, in fact I see on cm website xperia t has stable cm10 and almost stable cm10.1.. (RC4)
http://www.get.cm/?device=mint&type=RC
what I couldn't find anywhere is what is still not working... just to be sure if I buy the phone I won't have big troubles or miss some important things I often use.. only thing I could find on the web about known problems on xperia t + cm is this from codeworks website:
"The next round of nightly builds will bring support for the Xperia T, V, Z and ZL.
Unofficial builds are around for some time via Freexperia, but now these devices are officially supported.
Everything seems to be working except video recording (little audio issue) and hdmi out.
Both issues should be fixed soon."
so only problems seemed audio in video recording and hdmi, but this info is dated 13/Apr, so I don't know if these problems have been fixed already or not.. can you please help? where could I look to see the current pending problems on xperia t running cm10.1?
thanks a lot in advance guys!

thanks for the reply, I did see those thread.. but they are related to FreeXperia Project, while I am speaking of official cm10.1.. and I thought they were two different things!
Also, the sentence by codeworkx (I'm attaching below again) seemed to confirm that!
"Unofficial builds are around for some time via Freexperia, but now these devices are officially supported."
so now is not so clear to me.. to answer my doubts (pending issues on xperia t running official cm10.1) should I write on the FXP thread or somewhere else?
thanks anyway bye!

All questions threads should be in the Q&A section, but since there already is a CM thread there shouldn't have been a thread at all.

[ROM] [4.4.2/3] [OFFICIAL] LiquidSmooth v3.1

Dear XDA Community,
dear Demetris,
This Thread is about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2760771
Unfortunately it's not allowed to me to post anything in the official thread, cause I'm new here on the board. BTW: This hard rule makes it almost impossible to take part or give feedback to the developers. As well it's not allowed to send a direct message to anyone. I could imagine that many users actually would like to help to make things better, but that they gave up due to this hard restriction.
Okay, back to Topic.
I tested a lot ROMs for the P880 and the "LiquidSmooth v3.1" from Demetris ist the best for me. It has all this kind of stuff what I need. Pie control (customizable), Halo and it runs really smooth and fast. I would like to say big thanks for this nice ROM to Demetris! Great work, please keep going.
Some questions / minor bugs:
Battery
If the WiFi Module is activate it's not possible to charge the battery. That means I lose more energy as the charger can put in.
(Without WiFi) I'm not able to charge over 95% if the phone is on (Power on but screen is off).
Question
The thread title is saying that's about a official ROM. Is there I reason why I can't find this ROM at the official http://liquidsmooth.net page?
Do you plan to update / maintain this nice ROM in the near future? It would be really nice.
It would be nice if someone could point / link Dimitri to this Thread. My fear is, that he will not notice it.
Best & Thanks,
HDSteff

Official means @Demetris compiled it using official CyanogenMod sources and he is our maintainer on this project AFAIK he maintains liquidsmooth too... But I can be wrong...

Hey gerciolisz,
Thank you very much for your answers!
Maybe Demitris will find a minute to take a look into my thread.
Best,
HDSteff

1. You cant find a rom on official page because looks like they are stuck at v3.0 http://liquidsmooth.net/?page_id=12
2. Updates will come but as Liquidsmooth dont have an autobuild system i need to manually build the rom myself but doing that i lost 2 hdd's thus far due to heat & extreme usage

Im thinking about take back my P880 and try this rom

Hey Demetris,
Thanks a lot for your time & Feedback!

Could you post how many files do you have in Android folder. I have 46168 files / 917 folder for a grand total of 850.76MB. I'm wondering is it normal to have so many files, or did I miss something while flashing?
Edit: Nevermind, ES Explorer finally managed to count which folder it was. Apparently an old VLC installation had most of those files. I finally managed to delete all of it.
Go on.

Signal los / RIL issue

Regards and sorry for bad english.

[Q] Some questions about installing CM11 by Jcsullins

Quick questions for the community...
I currently have an older version of Android installed (I think a CM9 nightly) and am looking to upgrade it to this CM11, but it's not for myself, I'm going to be giving it to a 12 year old girl So my questions are...
Is the camera fixed in this? I heard it got fixed a long time ago in some builds, but I can't find any specifics about working camera here.
Is it pretty stable? In other words, if I give this to her and I'm not around very often to help her if anything goes wrong, will she be OK with it on her own knowing nothing about ROM's, rooting, or android in general really? She'll mostly be using it for social media, possibly reading, and taking pictures (assuming the camera works)
Thanks for any and all replies!
