Sorry for posting this here, but as a new member I'm not allowed to post this against the relevant forum topic yet.
I have a couple of questions regarding the following post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/development/rom-t3532088
Is the Lineage codebase being actively worked on yet? My very limited understanding is that all the teams resources are still being spent on getting all the new infrastructure in place.
If so, is there any real difference between this and the last official CM 14.1 nightly? Not that I don't appreciate the work in getting this unofficial build out.
Also, is there any rough timescale on when we can expect to see the Lineage team able to devote their efforts fully on the codebase? Hopefully they can soon get back to working on a great product and can take it to new heights.
Finally, I assume it would be safe enough to dirty flash this over the latest CM 14.1 build?
Many thanks

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.

Hello! Now that CyanogenMod is dead () we should have a thread for LineageOS progress.
Nightlies can be found here thanks to @crpalmer!
Wow, lol, I'm honestly not sure who came first, but since this thread is more active, maybe you should take discussion there.
I just chatted with someone at Lineage OS and they are looking for a Developer for Marlin for Lineage 15.1. He is stating there will be no Official Builds because they have any Devs with the device and i told him i would help find someone who would like to take over Lineage OS for Marlin. If your interested, this person is asking for your gerit username i'm guessing to see your work. Please let me know if your interested in taking over Official Lineage OS builds for Marlin at your earliest conveinence or you can contact Lineage OS yourself from the information below on how to become a Developer...
Thanks in advance,
TJ
From Lineage OS Website :
For developers
Contribute!
To contribute, you’ll need to be able to produce builds for your device. Pick your device from our list of supported devices to get started.
Once you’re successfully running your own build, you can begin to make your changes. All the apps included in LineageOS can be found in packages/apps, and core parts of the system can be found in frameworks/base.
Once you’ve finished making your change, simply follow our guide on submitting to Gerrit.
Submit your port!
If you unofficially maintain a device, and think it’s good enough to go live, follow our instructions on submitting a port. One of our developer relations staff will reach out to you, and we’ll work to get the ball rolling on official builds for your device.
Thanks again!
*edit*
If this developement stops, so will the few custom ROMs we have being they are LOS based so if there are any free and no tied up at the moment, or wants to take on another project, PLEASE do this for the Pixel XL Custom ROM Community! Not only I would gladly appreciate your hard work but so will many others in the community. I will even donate $$$ if thats what it takes for the build and for at least weekly updates.
Invisiblek is a dev who already has unofficial builds up and running

Yea I contacted him via PM and let him know the situation with Official Builds are that they are looking for an Official Builder.
I hope you all understand the work it entitles to take on a rom project.. you really shouldn't ask people to take over someone else's work unless this dev asks themselves...

I was informed by a Lineage OS Developer that there will be NO MARLIN Official Lineage OS Builds going out any time soon, it happens that they dont even have a Dev for our Device and i;m guessing they dont have our device either... I am just putting it out there, and there may or may not be someone qualified with the time to do it. But if we get official Builds, we'll get alot more Custom ROMs...
Hello guys
I am a little android developer who has succeeded to build LinegeOS 14.1 for Xperia E3 device. As I have seen here, this device never had good developers, ROMs or recoveries; but I want to change that.
I have been starting to work on this device some time ago and I think it will not be too complicated to build a decent Nougat ROM for this device and a good recovery (such as TWRP). Since I do not own this device, I need your help to test everything that I can build from git sources.
I have created a group for this on Telegram:
MOD EDIT: Link Removed
You are free to join, but I prefer that people who joins wants to be a tester. And remember, the more testers there are, the better the development will go.
Reserved for announcements
Hello, nice to see something like this. in which phase is project? REGARDS!!!
Also curious if this project is still alive.
I want to test
Hi @rmnhg,
i got an old T3 from my girlfriend so i can do anything i want with it.
How far is your common efforts here https://github.com/infus38/android_device_sony_seagull ?
I see other Yukon devices have stable LOS 14.1.
Can I check out and compile this repo?
Best Regards
The following probably sounds like a dumb question, but I'm genuinely confused. Would I be able to flash the SGH-1337 version of Lineage OS onto my SGH-1337M model of the Samsung S4? Or are they completely different models? Any answers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks. I'll check those out. Now that I view Lineage OS, they only have nightly builds available for the S4, which is not what I am looking for.

Nightly lineageOS build is the most stable thing you will find, besides stock ROM. Most other custom ROMs are based on lineageOS.

But aren't nightly builds being updated nightly because they're still buggy and in the development phase? Also, I couldn't find anything better, so I've settled with GoldenEye 5.0.1. It works super well, and it runs smoothly. It also doesn't make the upper screen feel like the bottom of a clothing iron lol.

Just an FYI...
What you had asked is the reminisce from the former CyanogenMod build structure.
CyanogenMod used to use the label "Nightly" for builds that may/might be unstable. Like a prerelease of its "Stable" builds.
Not long after the Official Launch of LineageOS, they had streamlined and such that had added "Stability" to the builds and changed the term "Nightly" to mean Stable Builds that are automated to be released with the fixes and such that were approved and pushed via Gitlab.
So LineageOS doesn't use the term "Stable" any longer since the "Nightly" builds are considered Stable Builds that are released on a Daily Basis (for the most part).
This is not to, personally, mean that Nightly Builds are without its bugs and such that they strive to improve on.
I've used Nightly Builds and had various degrees of issues I've reported but, most of the time, the Nightly Builds has been pretty stable for me.
Sorry for the lengthy explanation but, I do hope that I had explained this okay via text...
Good Luck!
