Difference between experimental an nightly - LineageOS Questions & Answers

Hi,
I wonder what the difference is between experimental and nightly builds?
Since there is no stable release yet I imagine that nightly is the same as experimental but with day by day patches?
So is the experimental version sort of a this is a tested version but we cannot guarantee it's functions?
Sorry if the question sounds stupid I just want some sort of clarity in the matter
Been running unofficial nightlys without to much fuss and I really do love this os

I have missed that post completely, if I understood it right experimental is just for upgrading purpose.
And if I want to make a clean fresh install I should use nightly and start from scratch.
Have I understood this correctly?

Yes, exactly.

Search for the paragraph that starts with "Regarding installation"

What I've experienced when using the LOS14.1 Experimental is that it is like a test version they call "CyanogenMod migration release". It's really for testing purposes to use for device functions and compatibility.
The Nightly version is kinda like a routine pre-snapshot version with fixes and modifications that were approved for implementation and may be unstable because of bugs that may still exist.
The Snapshot version is considered as the stable version with all the bugs (they feel) no longer or should not exist.
I hope i explained it okay. I did the best I could.

Right now all the releases are nightly status. I'm guessing it will be some time before the stable releases are available? Or is everyone just doing the experimental > nightly build for now and update to stable whenever that becomes available?

Hi speedboxx I don't know. I'm wondering the same thing. Maybe the LineageOS Developer team will use the same release cycle as CM. If they choose to do that they would release "snapshot" instead of "stable". Related article at http://www.zdnet.com/article/cyanogenmod-ditches-stable-release-for-perpetual-m/

[KERNEL] [GPL] [4.4] FuguMod kernel for nexus 5 (secure)

FuguMod is a secure, open, reliable and no nonsense kernel
This is probably the only custom kernel for the Nexus 5 which adds security instead of removing it.
Current features are:
- compiled with linaro gcc4.7.4
- various small fixes
You can download the kernels at:
http://fugumod.org/nexus5
Source and changelog can be found here:
https://github.com/renaudallard/nexus5_kernel
IRC channel:
irc.freenode.net #fugumod
Flashing
Kernel zips are intended to be flashed with CWM ot TWRP, if you want to flash using fastboot, you need to unpack the zip and flash the boot.img which is inside
Versions
Kernels are based on the below version scheme
kernel_FuguMod_20131104_r1-4.4.img
20131104 is the date it has been packaged
r1 is the release number
4.4 is the ROM it is compatible with
Stable vs Testing
There are sometimes kernels in testing folder. These may be very stable or may not boot at all. Be sure to have an USB cable and fastboot under the hand if you try one of these. That said, in general, if they stay into testing folder for more than 15 min, they should at least boot and work more or less. I tend to remove non booting kernels from testing folder in less than 10 min (depending a little bit on the speed testers take them), and so if you see them one hour later, you should assume they are safe enough to flash.
So, in general Stable is the safest bet, but Testing may be the best. I, myself, generally run testing one.
Deprecated folder
In general, unless you really know what you are doing, you should avoid flashing those, they are mainly there for historical reasons.
Check for vulnerabilities
http://www.xray.io
Compatibility with hackish style apps
All apps which require direct memory write, access to symbols or memory offsets or modules will NOT work. And, no, don't ask they won't be supported in the future. Example: Arararagi's light is only provided as a module and will not be supported unless he produces a patch.
Security
If you want good security when your phone is stolen, in addition to encryption, don't forget to turn debugging off. Also, use enpasschanger to change your encryption password, any short PIN encryption can be cracked in a few minutes easily (for example, using my script at http://pastebin.com/Mdu06RZN)
Redistribution
As per GPL, you are authorized to redistribute this kernel with any of your custom ROMs provided you give out the source code like I do. You can link to my github in your distribution site.
However, if you modify the kernel yourself, whatever the modification is (compiling it yourself with a different compiler is a modification), you are not authorized to name it FuguMod, although you can credit me and tell the base comes from FuguMod but you cannot call the kernel itself FuguMod.

First test version is now available
If anyone can confirm it was flashed correctly and boots, that would be great.
I'll test it right after the postman makes me happy

flashed kernel_FuguMod_20131104_r1-4.4.zip and it reboots to bootloader.
Hello @renaud.
It's really nice to find a lot of people coming from Galaxy Nexus to the Nexus 5. As the Galaxy Nexus is an oldie (yes, two years), there are less and less threads supported. I hope, you will still support the Galaxy Nexus - but also the Nexus 5, of course. Good to have you in here! :laugh:

I suppose you meant you flashed with fastboot.
Whatever, till how far does it go?
I am wondering, did you unpack the zip and flashed boot.img through fastboot, or did you flash the whole zip through fastboot??
I'm glad you got the new nexus because I've been waiting for your kernels for awhile now.

Thank you for confirming that it boots. Currently it has no features except being smaller than the stock one. I was waiting for the boot confirmation before developing.
Nice to see you again Renaud. Glad to be owning a device you're deving on again.
I have now received my N5. Real stuff will begin.
OK, thanks for some reporting as booting, but in fact it does not because my img doesn't support dtb yet.
Glad you got the phone and now hopefully fugukernel updater will work for this phone.

Working great so far!
Been using it for a day now. Haven't run into any problems yet, and is fast and smooth. Thanks bro!
Just wanted to share that this Android L theme works well. I'm using it for everything but boot animation and icons. Plus it's free.

If you email the VP, they will cusotmize your options... I had, I think, 80+GB and 4gb ram for around $15-20 /mo. That was about a year ago since I had it so I don't remember exactly. I compiled 4.2/4.3 ROMs in like 15-30 minutes after repo sync was full.

I recommend a clean flash if coming from another ROM.
hi
I am interested on this rom and i wonder if someone has test it already.
i am running slimkat which is pretty good but starts lagging with time.
Do you have the same behavior with this one?
Is this one compatible with ART?

I can tell it starts lagging when you dirty flash a dew times. That's why I haven't pushed an update in a while.

Just installed this and initial impression is that it works great. Didn't touch my Kindle Fire for a year and i can see there are a lot of improvements made in this time.
I'll keep you posted on the long term (and gaming) performance (installing heartstone and the cave right now).
(Modern) gaming didn't work, heartstone didn't start en the cave has low fps and crashes after 2 minutes. Maybe a little bit too ambitious.
Battery life is much better then before. Only installed Gapps and one google account sync. After 24h on standby (wifi was enabled) i still got 30% battery.

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.

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...

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.

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.

DISCONTINUE - [ROM][UNOFFICIAL][NIGHTLY][NL] HTC One X CyanogenMod 12.1

Because the CM team does not provide official nightly build for our pets (read HOX ), I decided that the nightly build I will simulate a very often compilation of source code from CM repo.
I can not guarantee regular publishing, but usually 1 times a week I make a compilation and here I will post the download link.
Important notification:
Please keep in mind that I am not a developer and any errors that may occur can not be repaired by me. Your feedback in this thread will have a single meaning - information for others in what condition the ROM is.
These unofficial nightly build will be available only for the new partition layout.
I will not attach any change logs.
I personally use these nightly builds as my daily driver.
The installation procedure is the same as in other HOX ROM, so that I will not be described again.

Dirty flash?
Any problems dirty flashing the 08/08 version over the 31/07 version? I normally do a full wipe and re-flash to keep things nice and clean, however the ActiveSync Exchange policy at work has changed and it means I need to raise a ticket each time I connect a new device and its a bit of a pain....

Can I use the SGH-1337 version of Lineage OS for my SGH-1337M?

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.

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!

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.
