[Q] CM vs FXP - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[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] Will the Wildfire get CM 7.2?

Yep, will it ever get CM 7.2? Are there any devs working on it? Just wondering.
I thought the unofficial builds by erwin and cobje are 7.2??
Officially though I doubt it now as arco and Jacob have moved on to better phones.

As per the CM Blog, It was planned to have a final stable release of CM7 to incorporate all the changes that have gone through since the last stable came out, and also since the nightlies stopped. However, now that CM9 nightlies have started, (For some devices), I don't know whether this plan (To get 7.2 Stable) is still on or not.
Basically, if you are already on the local builds by cobje / Erwin, you won't get anything else, apart from a "Stable" in the file name, and the ability to file bug reports on the CM bug tracker (Which will not help, given that CM7 is almost dead)
Ok thank you. Its just like senseonfire beta 0.4 0.5 etc. And jokerdroid 4.2 and 4.3
Tought it was like cm6 cm7 cm9, for every version another android version.

[Q] Just wondering...

I read in the cyanogenmod forums that that the ROM (the public alpha-1 version) made by arco68 is "unofficial" CM9 ROM. What can be the reason for this custom ROM being "unofficial?"
im sure your not a good of a reader arent you ?
well 1st of all its unofficial because samsung WILL not realease ICS on SGW
and what arco has made is still incomplete ... there is still known bug and unknown bug that hasnt been fix yet ...
and the the ics camera on cm9 for sgw still is not working that's why its not official

I see .
Before my next question, I wanted to clarify first that by "unofficial," I meant the "unofficial CM9" built by arco68. (I am also aware that Samsung will not release "official" stock ROM)
Now, if that's the case, then what is the difference between the nightly builds (which, I assume are the alpha builds, please correct me if wrong) in the cyanogenmod's device page and the build (Alpha-1) version of arco68's ROM?
it's considered unofficial because it's not being released by the core team from cyanogenmod. They don't and can't work on every single device.
Still, cyanogenmod announced recently that they will support and assist whenever possible independent developers (like arco) and make their ports official at some point and, of course, under certain criteria (QC probably).
AFAIK CM9 for the SGW will become an official CM9 release as soon as it gets finished.
If I'm not mistaken all releases of CM9 are still in alpha stage.

[Q] About CM9 Nightlies

Okay so I know what is CM9 is but what is the difference between CM9 and a CM9 nightly?
I've looked it up but couldn't really find anything about it.
A nightly is a rom that is build daily. The regular CM9 is build once an Update from google comes. Nightlys are sometiems unstable and mostly for advanced users and developers. If you don't know very much about android developing and flashing just go with the normal CM9 rom

Yeah, what he said....good advice.
I have tried CM7 but never the nightly versions. If you have to have to depend on your phone and don't want to deal with "possible" issues, just stick to the regular rom and skip the nightly versions. The regular versions get updated anyway as the bugs get worked out of the nightly versions.

[Q] Best fully working CM9?

Hello!
I didn't flash a CM rom for more than a year (Nexus 1), I want to try a good CM9 rom but which one is fully working and bugless?
I mean wifi,GPS,camera,camcorder...
I heard there is an ''echo'' bug in the voice calls?
Well the echo bug is fixed. Try trip's rom. It's pretty good and has almost everything working.
I'm on cm9 alpha 4 by (forgot the name but I think it's tbalden and mdj).
Will give trip's rom another try sometime later. Did not work good for me the first time.
Try this....
This is the most stable CM9

The torch app is working with the ''super bright'' option?
I have a major doubt about CM9 here. Why are there so many CM9's in the development section? When i had my nexus s there was only 1 cm9 thread started by the official maintainer of the device!
Furthermore which among the various CM threads is the actual one from the CM team with the official maintainer?
Or hasn't CM officially supported our device? I read that the SGS3 got official CM9 nightly builds.. Do we also have official nightly builds?
