CM9 is firmware, is a source
FXP is a team which assembles firmware for Xperia phones from cm9 sources making it workable on our smartphones.

Relation of the CM and the FXP project, and FXP in general.
I understand that the FreeXperia project (a.k.a. FXP) is working on porting CM to the Xperia devices.
However, I could not find any home of the FreeXperia project.
Where can I find out more about them?
(Their background, goals, the design philosophy, etc.)
Furthermore, I don't understand is why are there two different sets of releases: the "official" ones from CM, and the ones done directly by FXP.
What is the difference between these versions?
What is the interaction between them?
Thank you for explaining!

there are some devices(from the xperia empire) which are not officilly supported by the official CM team.. So what FXP does is porting the CM firmware to all the xperia smartphones..
there is not much difference between these..
the fxp team uses the cm official source and compiles it fo the xperia empire..

The Xperia Pro is not (yet) officially supported by CM, but they are providing nightlies and RCs now.
Are you saying that these builds are exactly the same as their FXP counterparts?
If they are exactly the same, then what is the point?
If there are differences, then what are those?
("Not much difference" not quite the answer I am looking for.)
Thank you for explaining!

If you see CM7 there's not much difference between the two..
This I can say from personal experience..
And CM9 is not yet supported officially.. So the FXP brings CM9 for my device..

[Q] different between official cyanogen and FXP cyanogen...

what is the different between official cyanogenmod and cyanogenmod FX043 built by FXP....and what is the advantage between them...
if u are the user, which of this will u use...
First.. Development section is not for Q&A
Second I would assume both are the same. FXP uses the same source of official CM.
simply adapted for ARC?
i use the official CM ROM from their site, i originally use the FXP one and it didnt have the vibrations, i eventually realised the official CM one was on a later version (FXP was cm7.0.1 i think and official was on cm7.0.3 or something) but it fixed the slight issues i had.
other than that, i dont see a difference.
i use doom kernel with official CM image though.
anyone knows who's making the nightly's? and where to find a change log?

[Q] CM vs FXP

Hey!
I've been wondering if i should start using the stock nightly builds over get.cm,
FXP hasn't been giving out detailed logs for the xperia arc, so i guess there are no fixes done to it? cause all i see are *latest cm 9.1/10
So do older fixes gets pushed to newer FXP CM builds or are they already fixed on the official cyanogen builds?
FXP is the team, who develops CM for Xperia devices.
So, what you see on the CM website, is made by FXP team.
You should know i guess that fxp team are the official cyanogen maintainers for xperia devices so u wudnt notice much difference in these ROMs. Regarding the nightlies, every nightly has newer fixes/patches and older fixes are naturally included as well..

Based on my post, you ahould know that i have understood all of that prior to this post. Please read my post and not just the topic. FXP builds haven't been pushing log fixes for the arc recently but a rebranded fw off stock cm. Get.cm has newer nightly builds buf fxp only uses a week or even later builds for their newer releases.
So i'm still confused... Is the rom of fxp the same as the nightly builds, or the same people working on those roms?
Now I'm using the nightly build, I tried it because at first i got issues with the fxp build, issues were: keyboard fc's and no wifi, but with nightly I reflashed wifi modules(lupus) after installing rom and that does seem to work, so perhaps also would work on fxp but don't know because didn't try yet. Keyboard issue persists, so i flashed xperia V keyboard which I like better anyway(swype).
I come from ultimate HD but i like cm10 more, even though battery is better on uhd. What i like is lockscreen, sms popup and ant+, etc... I don't like camera app and no out of the box digital clock widget I know some of these can just be modded and flashed over except ant+ whick is key to me because i bought a heartrate monitor.
Sorry I made it a cm10 vs uhd thread

Fxp is the team. CM are stable builds while nightly are more unstable with untested fixes and bugs.

Can i get Stock JB rom for Xperia Ion?

Hi guys:
My question that if we can find a stock JB rom exactly like the Nexus 4 rom but working on Xperia Ion?? And what is AKOP and AOSP roms?​
Sony not yet released any JB ROM/ Firmware for iON. It's due in May.
You will get official JB fw from the end of May.
AOSP means Android Open Source Project.
It is the "stock ROM" (or pure vanilla ROM) made by Google and is Open Source.
Lots of custom ROMs base on this rom, e.g. CyanogenMod, Panaroid Android, etc.
AOKP (Android Open Kang Projecy) is a custom ROM base on AOSP.

It depends on which ion you have. The international versions that can have the bootloader unlocked there is a CM10.0 (JB) ROM out. If you have at&t one then you're out of luck.

@ The $niper : Read the above. You were asked to check the Development section. Unless you check the development section properly, asking questions won't be helping much.

I had typed an explanation for you with the differences between all those roms, but then I figured that everything I said could be easily Google'd, and if you didn't bother doing that, I shouldn't bother explaining what every rom is and waste my time...
Just know: AOSP is stock Android (it's what's on the Nexus 4, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus 7 and Nexus 10, with a bit of a different layout for the tablets). CM, AOKP, Slim Bean and Paranoid Android (you should check PA out as well) are all basically AOSP with some extra options. The only way of really knowing them all is trying them. They're all pretty much the same but focus on a different aspect (AOKP and CM are in my opinion pretty much the same though). Also every rom has some screenshots in the thread to show what's new or different, just take a look at those.
One major advantage that all of the custom roms that I mentioned have over AOSP is that they support the theme engine, so you can easily change the looks by installing a theme app. There's lots of those on the Play Store. They're a handy way of changing the looks of your phone once in a while without having to flash a new rom.

The reason why i don't search on google that i am not very good with english language so i can't ream much to find the answer....
So what you are trying to told me that CM and AOKP both are stock android roms right? I tried them both and i saw them both exactly the same , just so small defferents.
Thank you because now i know what i have to search for: "JB 4.2 from CM or AOKP".
I tried both AOKP and CM10 , but also both have the same Wifi problem , it can't find any network.​

The only difference, pretty much, is the launcher is trubutch in cm and in google aosp its googles clean rom
But cyanogen mod gives you more options
And it has the tmobile theme engine
So you can do anything with cyanogenmod and almost anything with aosp

Seems like the party's going on at Xperia Z and we're not invited :(

They're already on stable KitKat roms and we're still struggling here on older versions
Can the devs port Z roms here so that we can test/ use and see how they work

There are ZL cm11 nightlies as well... though I don't see alot of activity in the CM11 thread... I haven't tried it myself at this point... (I did something screwy when I first tried the Omni 4.4 rom - think it may have been my gapps I installed - which bootlooped my phone. I haven't tried it again since...)

Ah my apologies, i wasn't clear, i was pointing towards these Roms-
[ROM] [Stable #2] [KitKat] [Official] [Z] [BeanStalk-4.4015] [06-DEC]
and
[KitKat][4.4.1][Omni]Team Asylum Omni 4.4.1 Naughties™ - Slim, Fast and Black Rum™
It would be nice to have a slimbean build for the ZL... (I ran that for a while on the S3...)
The Xpertia TX users have a patch, that can convert just about any Xperia T rom to one suiting their phone. I wonder if its possible for us to get the same as our hardware is almost identical.

Regarding custom rooms like CM, paranoid android, Omni rom, etc

it's a very know fact that maximum of the devices from Indian brands never have access to these well known rooms while they have good specifications. Why is it so?
yes Roms from other devices are ported to the Indian brand mobiles but it doesn't match my expectations.
If these senior respected developers can somehow show some love to Indian brand mobiles, it would be great.
It's my personal thinking. Yours can differ.

what i have understood is.. basically custom roms are developed for whom, whose official roms are pathetic and have loads of bloatwares.
indian brands do not take load to customize the rom and barely put few bloatwares resulting low cost mobile fones.
these are stock androids are i feel are very stable wrt performance. :good:
we only have option to play with launchers :fingers-crossed:

Yes I agree. It also provide performance improvement options. Optimization on various things and near possibility to do any things. Problem is we need some sources based on CM or PA to start with MTK devices. Hopes one day will have it. Then we will start it.

Mtk devices are in market from so long and still nothing happened.... Still waiting..
The main problem!
CM, Paranoid, AOKP, AOSP are some great ROM's indeed! However, I believe Mediatek does not release it's kernel source, in other words, It's kernels are 'Closed Source'. Cyanogenmod requires a custom kernel to be built and compiled, for that, complete kernel source is needed. A few leaked sources for MT6589 made first CM possible. Until MTK changes it's mind, its very much impossible to see all those quality ROM's for our handsets. I also think that there is a petition on change.org, requesting Mediatek to make everything open source. You can sign it, I have signed it as well.
