So official cm9 is not coming to the droid inc, is that right?
according to the flow chart there is a chance it will
I am on invisiblek's 5/29 nightly build and it is sweet so far. Very smooth and I haven't had to pull the battery since I put it on 2 days ago.
drk.hd's a9 build is supposedly working very well too.
So don't be afraid to go with the latest unofficial builds.
We already got it! it's just unofficial. But it's stable. I think all we need is a maintainer to submit and maintain it to CM. what do I know though
I ask only because i'd like to see an updated kernel

There are a few updated kernels, but none from cyanogenmod yet.

what exactly is the purpose of the cm nightly roms? sure they're auto-compiled from the cm github, and with each release there are new fixes, corrections, etc. so they're more updated than the stable, but what function do they serve?
is it a developer's testing version or something?

CM nightly builds usually have the latest and greatest versions of kernels, apps, etc. on them. As a result, some of what you see on the nightlies won't make it to the RCs or the Stable builds.
Didn't you answer your own question in the OP?
The nightly builds include the latest additions/fixes/corrections to CM7, over and above what the RC and Stables have.
They're for people who want to have the absolutely most up-to-date build of CM7 on their device. In many cases there are large fixes and upgrades in the nightlies that you can have weeks ahead of them being integrated into a RC or Stable release. If you flash nightlies then you just upgrade your ROM a few features at a time, rather than 30 features all at once moving from one Stable to another.
Nightlies aren't usually recommended for the new user unless you're adventurous. Although they're generally stable (sometimes moreso than the 'Stable' release), there are inherent issues with flashing the newest ROM version every night. If you're willing to take it on you can but there's no guarantee that they work as you'd expect.

No what I meant was what purpose does it serve?
Is it supposed to be a developer's version of the CM7 ROM to see what new additions work and what still needs fixing and such.

I would imagine even though we are not allowed to report bugs the CM devs to use the nightly builds to find and fix bugs.

Yes generally this.
In ratio to how many people use it to be on the cutting edge, id say the ones who actually use it for dev purposes is highly negligible lol.

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could say what the difference between the two builds of CM9 are. There's the team chopsticks version found here: http://www.teamchopsticks.org/p/install-guide.html. And there is the, I guess more or less, official release here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-9-rc2
Am I right in thinking that the team chopsticks version is an unofficial attempt to port it over at the same time that the CM team came out with official support.
Has anyone compated the two? I've often heard a lot about CM, but have never tried it. I'm currently running Darkside Evolution 3 v8 with Touch0Color theme and I love it.
Thought?
I too was thinking about giving the latest CM9 RC2 a try. Kind of waiting to see if anyone else gives it try and reports back. I might do it before end of day today though.
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=hercules&type=RC
I am currently running same Rom as you but a version behind, V7. I am just hoping that I can install it with the same version of Clockwork that I used for Darkside.
Team Chopsticks are the official maintainers for CM on T989. They are the ones who incorporate and create the code for our device. CM requires that all code be checked and approved before being merged. The "unofficial" builds from team chopsticks represent experimental, unapproved changes yet to be fully merged into CM.
Essentially, they are one and the same.
ive been wondering the exact same thing. im currently running darksidev8 as a dd but recently tested aokp which was nice as well. now im interested in seeing what cm9 has to offer.
Try the Cm9 rc2 its a daily driver for me.

Best advice download and try roms from this site as opposed to searching the web and as others have said yes Team Chopsticks are the maintainers for our phone so what they do to CM9 will be strictly for our phones.
If you are new to CM9 just stick with the thread we have here and get goo.im which will help facilitate your downloads of updates.
im now on cm10, can i just boot into recovery do a full wipe and flash cm9 (stable) to my nexus?
which one you guys think its better cm10 or cm9 stable?
thanks in advance
There is no cm10 stable at the moment. The cm10 nightlies are stable enough, plus it's jelly.
Try it, thought it's practically the same experience besides os differences and project butter.

cm10 for sure, its stable.
project butter is too buttery not to use

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought CM10-M1 was a stable release?

Not exactly. While Monthly's are more stable than Nightly's, it's still not a "Stable Release".
So order of stability: Stable Release (10.0) > Monthly Release (10.0M1) > Nightly Release (10.0N38)
Source: CyanogenMod Blog
To OP: I would suggest you try out CM10 Monthly 1. Should be perfectly stable for everyday use. If you find instability, then go ahead and go with CM9. As far as how you flash it, yes, that's how you flash it.

Latest CM10 nightly is on 4.1.2. Even though it says nightly it is stable for everyday use, don't be scared because it says nightly.
Just try it. I'm always on nightly and never experience any problems.

Nightlies are stable for the most part, the only bad thing about nightlies is that coding the devs have done is sometimes merged without proper testing, which can cause some instabilities. This is NOT a dealbreaker though since the bugs often are fixed/rectified the next nightly.
Find a nightly you think are stable and stick with it

It has to be approved before being officially merged unless you use a unofficial version such as Jellybro. Although sometimes they are merged and then removed so yeah you are right to an extent.
Chances of instability are pretty close to slim as CM on Nexus are pretty stable. Although, if anything does happen--they can just say, "oh its a nightly."
What I'm basically saying is that, just because it says nightly... don't be afraid to flash or try it out! It is very much stable
I've been running PlayfulGod's CM11 Unofficial for the past couple days with success. I see that CM11 "official" nightly builds are now available, but PlayfulGod is still updating the unofficial build.
Just wondering if there is a changelog for the nightly builds similar to what PlayfulGod has on his thread? I'm not clear what the differences between these versions are. I'm new!
If you read the threads, you should be able to find out what the unofficial builders cherry pick that aren't in the official builds. All it takes is a little bit of reading.
For the most part, there are not going to be any drastic changes - they are on the same base after all.

Yes you're right .. i think the unofficial is the best than nightly .. because nightly just beta tester before official ...
Well folks it's been a long road.. And it looks like it'll keep going. Happy flashing!!!!!! Thank you everyone who made this possible!

How's the battery life on the official nightlies of CM12.1 official..? :victory:
I dirty flashed over @amf66 4/28 build as I have been since 4/23. Battery for me is as I expect it to be. I still have my original battery .. Almost three years old now. I'm reluctant to purchase a "new" battery as I have an otterbox on this phone. And I haven't found any reliable sources for a new battery with out them being garbage. But so far is running smooth as butter.
What bootloader level do you need to be at for this? I'm running a recent cm11 nightly with I747UCUEMJB bootloader.

I noticed it too after 1 year, 2 months, and 13 days a new ROM bumped up to CM 12.1 or Android 5.1. If I didn't see the "d2att" name I'd would have assumed they just uploaded the file to wrong folder or something ( instead of "d2lte" ) but damn here is the file name:
"cm-12.1-20150430-NIGHTLY-d2att.zip". This is awesome!
seems to be nice.
Works very well. Also using DKP kernel. Only issue is Bluetooth. (Same with all L ROMs)
