[Rom] Cyanogenmod 6.0.0 or CyanogenMod Nightly - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

to be honest with you guys.
i have no idea what the heck is the difference betwenn the two.
especially all the builds.
are there something different with each build?
can someone out there explain to me?
sorry,i've tried searching it up but nothing.
if there isn't something different about each build for the cyanonogenmod nightly
then why do they have soo many builds?
i mean why keep the only builds there.
you know everyone wants the recent update.
to fix the bugs or what not.
but if i can get some really good explanation on this,it would be really night.
thank you.

the nightlys are beta versions, so they can be buggy.
6.0 is a stable version which is solid and has no bugs
-
btw this topic should be in general or something, some people around here get upset easily for posting in the dev section.

You could read the changelog. It has the added features since 6.0 listed (called 6.1). 6.1 isn't released yet, but when it is the nightlies will be changed into 6.1.
Nightly just means they rebuild the rom every night and allow people to download it to install.

this should be in the q&a

Quick summary:
Final builds: Relatively stable, tested, and at the point that Team Douche is comfortable with how it handles.
Nightly builds: Compiled every night at 00:00 GMT directly from the github source. Has all the latest features (like the nightlies currently have a newer kernel and some nice camera features) but can be quite unstable and typically aren't recommended for day-to-day use.

I would Edit your Title for this thread..
please Remove [ROM] as it signifies this is a ROM thread and this is, of course, not..

The CyanogenMod development process produces nightly builds automagically for bleeding-edge users. Here's sort of how the process works generally:
1. Bugs/feature requests/etc are submitted to Google Code:
http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/
2. Items are then transported to Gerrit for code review once a solution is written / being worked on:
http://http://review.cyanogenmod.com
3. Once tested/approved, commits happen to GitHub, which is announced via cmsrc on Twitter:
http://github.com/CyanogenMod/
http://twitter.com/cmsrc
4. Nightly builds happen automatically via BuiltBot with all commits from GitHub (even if they break stuff, so these nightlys aren't for the uber-novice). You can watch nightly builds happen, which are typically around 9pm EST unless kicked off manually:
http://buildbot.teamdouche.net/waterfall
5. Downloads available nightly here (by build number):
http://mirror.teamdouche.net/
And that's pretty much it. You can keep a close eye on Cyanogen's personal Twitter (twitter.com/cyanogen) and even converse with him and some of TeamDouche as well on IRC via FreeNode, in #cyanogenmod. They're great guys and very open to the future of CM. I've known Cyanogen for years and he's a great, fun guy with a brilliant mind and a passion for open source.
Anyway, I hope this clears up the CM nightly process for those who don't really grasp it yet. There may be a few diversions from the process, but generally that's how it works, and is a great way to keep very close track of what's happening when. Understanding is the key to NOT asking 'when will this be done?' or 'where's the changelog!?', etc.

Moved to Q&A as not development.

do the current nightlies, or the future 6.1 release, require the engineering bootloader 0.76?
i did unrevoked3 and ended up with 0.79 of course. i've been playing with many roms but not yet CM6 due to this restriction ... the ENG bootloader thread reads like a cautionary tale, there doesn't seem to be any understanding of why some phones play well with the update and others don't.
i'm sure there's a very good reason, but i don't understand the need for 0.76 for only CM6.

As far as the CM code, *any* bootloader version is permitted as of a commit last week. This shouldn't be an issue anymore on nightlies, but likely will be in CM6.0.0.

This is the official thread for the RC (and future RC's)... codeworkx's thread is for nightlies. the difference being is that the build flashed from this thread is allowed to report bugs to the issue tracker.
RC is too in codeworkx thread. But anyway.... Thanks for posting.

there is no information about the RC('s) in codeworkx's thread. his thread clearly says nightly at the top and is for nightlies and nightlies only. the "latest version" link does not count because following that no matter what will show you *all* options. this is the standard CM way of doing things. a thread for nightlies and a thread for stable(ish) version. feel free to check any other CM-supported device's section and you will see both as well.
so is RC1 > Nightly

RC1 = stable(ish)
nightly = bleeding edge
RC will only be updated a few times over the next few weeks until the final build is released. nightlies will continue to be pumped out every night. benefit of RC is you can post issues to the issue tracker and actually contribute back to the community.
So whats the deal?
Used to run CM on my HTC Magic.
Have heard that there are issues with battery life etc. on SGS.
What are the cons of SGS CM71. Cant seem to find list of good/bad issues.
Also, the nightly "must be on froyo" is not listed on the CM7 webpage (and this thread). I can flash from sammy gingerbread now?

Yes, but you had best add it to the install instructions here too, or the 15 questions you get about bootloaders a day will become 150 or more. No fun at all.
Also, it notes in the instructions on the OP that if you are updating a previous CM7 install, you do not need to flash Gapps again. This has not been true for around 15 nightlies now...has whatever issue that required reflashing Gapps along with a nightly been fixed?
Downloading it..
Finally a RC release ..good work Cyano's Team ..
I use Cyanogen 7 on my Galaxy S and also on my Htc Magic 32b
Cyanogen 7= The best rom of ever
Cheers
Perfectly and thx

the ROM threads for RC releases are cookie-cutter, only replaced with proper links/md5sums. as for the gapps thing, I've been flashing updates every few days and have literally never once had to reinstall gapps =/
also, rschenck, please don't leave me to moderate this thread alone, you make the i9000 threads worth reading
And ANOTHER question....
If I opt not to install the RC1 release itself, but wait and install the next Nightly, which would be 40 for the i9000. Will that automatically update me to RC1?
Plus I am always ready to lend a hand and/or a stinging bon mot, you just seem more up on the RC1 situation than I so I defer to your wisdom.
Lastly, regarding reflashing Gapps, it has been advised as a precaution for ages now to avoid potential trouble. I see no harm in continuing to do it.
Kaik, thanks for the thread. Downloading the RC now (I've been running nightlies for months, if this is good enough I might have my dad run it!) Just wondering, are you a member of the CMSGS team? And if so, do you have any insight to headphone controls being fixed?
A little suggestion..
PLEASE CYANO'S TEAM READ THIS:
See at SuperAosp 8.6 camera..is similiar at Cyanogen camera but it is best in graphics..background black ..photo button better..see it please

personally, I always run under the assumption that each and every flash will horribly destroy my phone and make backups of apps with TiBu and nandroid every time while praying I never have to open heimdall again. I then keep the gapps zip and at least one earlier nightly on my SD card. RC1 is basically just a "nightly considered stable for the purpose of bug reports" for official means. nightlies will always surpass stable builds (and will always come with the risk that they are far more likely to break)

I'm an honorary member of teamhacksung as it were. I've been out of the i9000 group because coolya and codeworkx mostly have it under control and rschenck provides the right amount of help while being entertaining in a way that I couldn't possibly hope to be. as for headphone controls, atinm is aware of the issue and it's on the list of things to be fixed (including TV out at some point).
I didn't follow that much the Nighlies thread in the past month because i didn't have time to flash and reflash continously.
I'm wondering, on this RC1, if everything works, including all that didn't work perfectly in nightlies builds.
And what about battery life? I switched from JVH to JVP and i noticed a small reduction of battery life. Is CM7 RC1 overall better or worst than the aforementioned releases?
ANyway, thumbs up for the passage from nightlies to RC, i was looking forward for CM7 on my SGS since when i bought it in January. Coming from an HTC phone i really missed the speed and functions of CM.

[rom][cm9][4.0.3][cdma] cm9 semi-kang

CM9 NIGHTLY (UNOFFICIAL SEMI-KANG) FOR CDMA TORO
Hey! This is my first post here on XDA, though I've been a long time user of these very forums, since the OG Droid root.
This is also my first ROM, though the credit should really go to the Cyanogenmod team. This is a pull from the ICS branch of CM's git repository,
built on Ubuntu x64. The proprietary .so files were pulled from Team-Kang's repo, because theirs was the only files I could actually get running.
I'm running this as my main install, and so far there's been no problems at all.
THIS IS NOT STABLE.
This is the equivalent of a nightly from CM, though much less polished. It can be considered a pre-alpha nightly build.
I am not liable for anything this ROM may do to your phone.
I'm doing this because I always enjoyed Cyanogen's ROMs straight without any mods or tweaks. I knew exactly what was running on my
phone. This is a straight pull from git. I haven't included any extra pulls from git or gerrit, nor anything else. It's pure Cyan.
I will do nightly releases of this ROM. CM's source is constantly changing, and I'll try and keep up with that, at least until the
build servers are doing automated nightly compiles.
Download:
thewcubed.com/update-cm-9.0.0-RC0-GN-CDMA-KANG-signed.zip
To install:
Download the ROM to your phone.
Download a GApps zip to your phone. (I use kejar31's zip)
Make sure you have the latest version of CWM's recovery.
Boot to recovery.
Backup your current system and data partitions.
Wipe data, cache, and the dalvik-vm cache. (I always do it twice to be on the safe side.)
Flash the ROM.
Flash GApps zip.
Reboot.
(tentative) Hooray!
If the download is too slow, I'll try and upload this to a couple mirrors. I don't know if my server's going to be able to handle a request flood on a 10Mb/s upload line.
Glad your making a Rom, but...
1) its in the wrong forum and
2) you dont have a link because of your "probation" status of < 10 posts
Good luck with your work though!
Also there's (unofficial) builds by a CM developer in the development section already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1397122
@kenyu73
I know that this isn't in the Dev section, but I can't switch it yet due to the 10 post limit. It should still be valid in the General section though.
The URL is still valid, simply copying and pasting it begins a download of the zip.
@got_milk
There may be unofficial builds, but those are for GSM devices. I apologize for not clarifying in the title that this is for CDMA/LTE versions of the Galaxy Nexus.

Getting your post count up and then posting in Development would have been the thing to do. This will get lost in General, and I can't see it being moved to Development or everyone and his mate would be using that loophole.
@afilopou The CyanogenMod source is released under the Apache 2.0 license. This ROM isn't built for commercial gain, I'm crediting the CM team as the writers of the code, nor am I attempting to alter the code and then copyright it. The concept of "open-source" is that one can do something like this, building and redistributing.
@Kalavere I'm not trying to get this moved to the Dev. If there's enough interest in it, I'll repost the thread to Dev when I'm able. The problem I had was that there wasn't a vanilla build of CM that I could find anywhere for the CDMA/LTE toro.

[Q] Official Cyanogen Mod rom. How soon?

Hello, everyone!
Dunno if it was asked before or is it thу right place to ask this, but anyway:
Is CM team going to release official CM rom? May be even someone know how soon it will be? I don't like samsung stock rom because of the bloatware it has, but I think I am not the only one.
Thanks in advance!

I've never quite figured out why people get so hung up on "official"... When there is an official build of CM, it will still be me maintaining it and the only differences will be that:
* you'll get nightly and M builds which makes them more frequent
* you'll get slower device specific updates to the core software (right now I change it and build it, when it's official it can take weeks to get a change in the frameworks approved and you won't see it until it's approved).
that said, it will be official but doing so takes effort from me and from other people that are very busy and so all I can say is it isn't official yet.

Actually before creating this thread I saw your "unofficial" build thread and checked your profile to see if you are somehow connected to CM dev team, but you have no information in your profile. I don't like unofficial builds because often they have something tuned\installed\uninstalled, but I like how CM works and I don't want anything else, this is why I want official build. But in this case I think I should try your build, as you maintain official ones anyway.
Thanks for clarifying this!

Not necessarily having visibility into any framework changes I've made is a pretty reasonable concern. There's only one change that I have already submitted for review so nothing too magical going on behind the scenes. Everything else is available in my public git repos for anyone to verify.
Most of the time official builds start out as unofficial builds. At least that's what I've noticed.

Short answer: yes. I'm going to try grabbing the relevant code from MWisBest's githib. If it turns out to be too involved for my limited skills, it will have to wait until Ziyan submits the changes to CM.

OK I am going to be on board with testing for sure. I left a post in the now no longer current official thread that I flashed the last official build yesterday and I had perfect 3G to LTE to 3G handoff, rock solid WiFi strength, basically everything seemed to work very well. I am looking forward to seeing how things progress. I haven't been able to keep any of the official CM builds from bootlooping until now. Hopefully you stick with it because I am getting better performance from this device than I have seen in a long while

I should've had a machete to hack through the jungle of build errors from pulling a modified OmniROM device tree into a CyanogenMod build. Looks like the build is rolling now though, with any luck it might just complete successfully - who knows, it might even boot.
The only thing slower around here than me is my poor old computer.
Its kind of ironic that the Galaxy Nexus was the first official LTE device for Sprint and I am only just recently starting to get LTE on a semi regular basis.
@musical_chairs, take your time with your builds. I assure you that they are appreciated. Now that this device is actually getting decent (for Sprint) signal and still has current builds makes it more enjoyable to use than just about any time I can remember....I just miss Imoseyon's Lean kernels. I got GREAT battery on those. They were compiled in the now deceased (I think) CMRemix ROMs but the LTE is definitely a plus
Update: For now, I have stopped working on building CyanogenMod with the DDK 1.9 drivers. I was ending up with a completely unsustainable mess of a device tree, and was still running into build errors. If new drivers are what you want, use FML. I'll focus on keeping the regular CM builds updated for the time being.

I'm following its developements, but haven't had time to try it personally yet.

Thanks for trying anyhow. I'm glad cm11 still has a fighting chance with the GNex, thanks to you, and all the others who are able to help out.
We're all waiting for cm12 to get to a buildable state. In the meantime, I've been working on upgrading my build box. My old machine was just barely capable of building android, the 'new' one isn't new but it was a real beast in its day. Time for a clean build has dropped from a day and a half to two and a half hours. I'm happy...

just curious, how difficult is it to compile roms? Do you need to know how to write your own code or is it over glorified copy and pasting with packages and stuff?

I do a lot of copying and pasting, a lot of reading guides, and a whole lot of google-ing. I don't know how to write my own code, but I have lots of experience with applying patches. Compiling roms is not that hard if you're a Linux user, have a working knowledge of the command line, and have a basic understanding of git. Take away any one of those things and it becomes a whole lot harder.

Yeah i haven't gotten to play with linux, nor do i know what git's are (i think they are large batch's of code posted in plain text?) . always wanted to try but don't have the time.

git is the software the devs use to keep track of changes in the code. Most Android devs have their git repositories on Github, those are probably what you are thinking of. Every little change (called a 'commit') has its own unique hash number. It's pretty amazing, you can look through somebody else's commits and find one that fixes a bug you are working on, or split tens of thousands of changes in half, then in half again, then in half again, etc., and pinpoint the exact commit that causes a bug on your system - though that's more useful in Linux kernel development than in Android.
I don't really have the time either, but it's such a fun hobby...
Using quickboot?
Coming from Vanir. Really like the facility quickboot gives. Anyone "enabled" it? I can't seem actually show the field to turn it on. Settings search finds it, but that's it... Noticed Dev options is hidden also. What's up?
Props for keeping CM11 updated. Really like I can actually use SMS in Hangouts.
I haven't been following the nightly changes since toroplus went dark, but I ran a build today--nothing special, just the latest cm...whatever changes they are. I could post it but don't know if I should make another thread or just link to it in here.
Anything substantial get added to general cm in the last few months?
I tried to run a build of cm12 but it looks like things still aren't ready for building yet, either that or I'm not sure how to switch back and forth between the cm11 repo and cm12 without getting repo update errors.

I got cm12 built and booting for toro for the first time today. I'm trying to get mobile data working on that, then I'll give toroplus a shot. Looks like it shouldn't be too much trouble. Feel free to post any of your builds here, or start your own thread if you prefer.
Here's my cm11 build from yesterday--equivalent to a plain nightly. It's been running fine since I dirty flashed it last night. Md5sum is linked as well and noted below.

Well I got cm12 built and booting on toroplus, unfortunately the RIL is completely borked, so no cell service at all at this point. I'll keep working on that, in the mean time check out the updated cm11 build in the post right above this one.

Older versions of LineageOS?

CyanogenMod was brilliant for old devices. You could take CM9, tweak it around, and install it on something like the Galaxy Ace GT-S5830. You could breathe life into an old device.
Will there be older versions of LineageOS to accomplish the same thing? For example, an Android 4.2 Jelly Bean LineageOS? Or will it go no lower than Nougat 7.1?

Any device that was actively being developed when CM ended should be picked up by Lineage OS. If the device was no longer supported by CM, it is not likely to be supported now.
It goes back to 6.0.1 but no further.
It will do both, apparently.....
Someone appears to have updated the cm-12.1 branch, FWIW. I'm wondering if they're slowly working backwards.

That would be my assumption since it's probably a lot easier to find people with knowledge to build CM13/12.1 than people with building knowledge for CM7 per say.

Funny you should say that, because I had to do just that very thing. I own an old phone (Motorola Atrix 4G) that never officially got support beyond CM7, so I've created my own custom CM7 for it (I'm using it as a glorified media player, but it's also allowed me to hone up on my Android ROM tinkering skills). When CM became LinOS, I created a Github organization (https://github.com/CM-Archive) to preserve the CM "gingerbread" branch, and found that there were a few things that need to be changed in order to make a clean compile. I'd offer to bring the "gingerbread" branch on LineageOS up to date for those few people who really need the CM7 code, as I've already done the work and know what needs to be changed, but as I've never made any contributions to CM or any ROM project, I don't know how to go about it. Can anyone tell me what I need to do? Something easy to follow, not "Get the frimfram and keloplotz the FTL missengibble on the gonfropple."

That's pretty epic dude! I have an LG Lucid vs840 from that had a CM9 out fot it was considering doing the same thing. As for helping them with their efforts I have no idea where to start.
But I do have a question, do you think it'd be very hard to update the cm7 cm9 or cm11 to Marshmallow devices? This might sound foolish but im still curious lol
The CM repo is moved wholesale to LineageOS, so if you know how to build, you could still build any version you like from the new source, provided that the older version was there previously in CM. I've built Lineage 13 (CM13) for several of my devices just now since I still need Xposed.
You can't expect any useful updates for <CM12.1 though, as CM had stopped working on them long ago. Not worth the extra effort of maintaining them, plus unfixable security holes.
Not looking to maintain them, simply to update them to compile from the LinOS repo. Specifically, the default.xml in the android package needs the references to CyanogenMod changed to LineageOS, and other references need to be changed as well. Once that's done, nothing further needs to be done.

You say that, but there was CM for my old 2011 LG phone but I would be tremendously surprised if a LOS ROM ever shows up because there doesn't seem to be any active development for that device anymore. Makes me sad because I would love to have LOS on it (and security updates newer than 2012) but I wouldn't bank on it... the newest CM ROM I can find for it is from 2015.
