[Q] CM7 Nighties no longer being developed? - EVO Shift 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I haven't seen any development on the speedy on CM in a while. The latest nightly mfound here:

md5sum: b0d50118f83be902dac46dee8cad3c3e 88.89 MB 2011-11-16 07:27:35
The last nightly compiled was on November 16th, are they just not being compiled anymore? and I have to find the source and compile myself? Or did developement hault in favor of ICS?

I don't run CM but I'm guessing they stopped nightlies to work on ICS

If they stopped it would probly be to work on ICS or CM9 either way should be worth it imo

My understanding is their build bot is very messed up and the amount of work involved to reconfigure it is quite tedious so they're just doing manual builds and will redo the build bot configs once cm9 is close.

[NIGHTLY][ROM][FRG83] CyanogenMod 6 for vendor Ace (HTC Desire HD)

This thread is reserve for nightly build of CyanogenMod Rom for HTC Desire HD
CyanogenMod is a free, community built distribution of Android 2.2 (Froyo) which greatly extends the capabilities of your phone.
Code:
** These CyanogenMod builds are highly experimental and unsupported.
**
** Please refrain from submitting bug reports for any issues
** you may encounter while running one of these builds.
**
** Submitting bug reports on nightly builds is the leading
** cause of male impotence.
What are Nightly build? Auto compiled build of the latest CyanogenMod source from github. This version change each night and aren't officialy supported.
If you find bugs/issues you can/must discuss here (do not submit nightlies bug on CyanogenMod issue tracker).
Warning : Not for new user, flash this build only if you know what you are doing !!!
INSTRUCTIONS:
- First time flashing CM 6 to your Desire (or coming from another ROM)?
1. Root your device and install Clockwork Recovery.
2. Do a Nandroid backup!
3. WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)
4. Install the ROM
5. Optionally install the Google Addon
- Upgrading from earlier CM6?
1. Do a Nandroid Backup!
2. Install the ROM (your Google apps will be backed up automatically)
There are no Google Apps bundled with CM ROMs, because Google asked Cyanogen to remove copyrighted apps, after flashing rom don't forget to flash Google Addon package if you want it.
Latest version: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=ace
before flash is recommended to check the md5sum

What does this mean exactly ? its updated nightly ? or ... haha
a nightly-build contains all the newest changes which come step-by-step.
all the changes will be offered in a new release candidate if there are stable and harmonize.
so if you always want the newest fixes, patches and so on..you have to flash the nightly-builds. but there is no guarantee that it is stable.
if you want a stable build you have to wait for the rc
sorry for my bad english

Team Douche do work on the rom every day. You can see what commitments they make to the code on the git hub. Every night an automated build bot compiles the code into a flashable rom. As stated in the op, these are experimental builds which add new features but may be quite buggy. In my experience with the nexus one they are usually very stable apart from the odd annoying glitch.
Most importantly for bleeding edge lovers like myself you get to check out new features before, often weeks before, people using the stable branch.

But, now Cyanogen has got all organised, at this stage in the cycle i.e prior to release of the stable version it tends to mainly be bug-fixes rather than additional features so in my experience these late nightly release are often better than the RC's on which they are based

Good point. Until Cyanogenmod 7 (Gingerbread) we probably won't see any new features.
Can't post link to git hub right now but google "cyanogenmod git hub" should take you right there.

Thats actually pretty insane, NIGHTLY UPDATES . what more could you ask for ... iv been waiting for updates on other roms for weeks now...
The ROM is great but it drains the battery too quickly. Can someone help me on this.
Great to get nightlies, new to Android but well used to this from XBMC, open source ftw.

Would have to disagree, took mine off charge this morning and used it throughout the day heavy enough including FM Radio, PowerAMP, browser, some apps and watching TV on the journey home and battery is at 51% now.
hi i'm new to Android and have a few questions. Just flashed this rom and it looked amazing except that I didn't have market or any other apps. Is it just me (do those apps fall under the Google stuff mentioned earlier? And is it possible to get my contacts from leedroid (just switched after full wipe) also would it help if I flashed the "normal" CM and install the nighty Rom s update ?Anyone can help me? Thx in advance

yup market, gmail, maps etc come under the GAPPS package which you have to flash after flashing cyanogen mod.
If you sync your contacts to your gmail then it should be restored after entering your account details with the new rom
And it doesn't matter if you install the normal CM and then install the nightly, you can just jump straight into the nightly if you want. As previously stated, normal is a stable release whereas nightly is untested but usually stable.

yes you need to get the google addons for theDHD its HDPI-20101114
http://goo-inside.me/google-apps/
but if you downloaded the rom from rom manger it asks you if you want the google add-ons after the rom as well.
when you install google add-ons sould get your contacts back
only need to do full wipe if you coming from a different rom, eg leedroids rom, if already using CM 6.1 rc2 or rc1 just need to flash the nightly over it.
Thx a lot you both saved my day

So any one care to comment what extra feature or u got repair on this NB ? Cop are to the RC

[Rom] EXPERIMENTAL AOSP Gingerbread for CDMA Desire *New Build 12/27 w/ GPS*

All I have done here is compiled gingerbread from source by following the guide in the cyanogenmod wiki. I am not developing this, just compiling.
Odd_Sam said it best: "Just so everyone understands, this is a rom based off the developmental source code of CyanogenMod 7. OP is not a developer and has no plans to fix any issues that come up. This is more or less a sneak preview of CM 7. OP is just compiling the public source code for CM 7. Treat these "releases" as a "nightly" build. And just for clarification these builds will be experimental so do not report bugs in this thread or anywhere else. CM devs know what does and does not work."
3d acceleration, video camera and network location do not work.
Grab it here: http://ipfreelytech.net/android/update-cm-7-BravoC-1222710-gps.zip
google apps: http://ipfreelytech.net/android/gingerbread-gapps-hdpi-20101221.zip
it seems that its closer to AOSP than CM at this point, while I compiled it with the cyanogen bits, it seems there aren't many cyanogen commits for gingerbread yet, so things like the power control widgets in the notification bar and the cyanogenmod settings menu are missing.
The 3d acceleration is due to a missing library and will likely not be fixed until after the N1 gingerbread OTA drops.
I haven't posted any newer builds because there is more stuff broken compared to this build.
Nice, thanks, will try it right now marry Christmas
looking through the rom, it seems that its closer to AOSP than it CM at this point, while I compiled it with the cyanogen bits, it seems there simply aren't many cyanogen commits for gingerbread yet, so things like the power control widgets in the notification bar and the cyanogenmod settings menu are missing.
installing google apps results in boot loop.
you gonna make one for GSM Desire ?
I do not have a gsm desire for testing, and secondly there are ALREADY gingerbread roms for the gsm desire. I mainly did this because I was tired of CDMA being left out of the gingerbread fun.
if you want gingerbread on your GSM desire go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=829734
if you want to you can do a build yourself the way I did, I followed this guide: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Bravo
when you do the repo init change -b froyo to -b gingerbread

bah, I wanted cyanogen gingerbread for gsm
Great work,
So cynogen is back with boom on Xmas.
Sent from my HTC Desire
you GSM users are not missing anything. While I built this as a CM build, at this point its pretty much straight AOSP. besides the boot logo the only thing cyanogen about it is the kernel. I changed the thread title to better reflect that.
I am familiar with compiling cyanogenmod, never tried doing straight AOSP and couldn't find a guide, so thats why the build is as it is.
The cdma crowd had nothing at all in the way of a gingerbread rom posted here or elsewhere i could find on the internets.
You are doing awesome bud even trying to bring something together for the cdma crowd bro! You need to add IN BIG letters on the thread post, NOT FOR GSM YOU HAVE YOUR OWN, ****ERS!!!!!!!! LMFAO!!!!!!!
Merry Christmas every body!!!!!!

Thanks, downloading now.
CM 7
Great work with the update! I couldn't get my contacts to sync. I attempted to import the contacts in vCard to no avail. I didn't play around with it much but look forward to future updates. Happy holidays!
i was trying to figure out how to attempt this.......glad to see someone dev for cdma.
Thanks for trying tip bring us a new rom,i wish others devs would do so too, what we cdma guys only have have 3 roms at the moment and the are all based on CM I believe. I would like to see oxygen and or villain ports to cdma
Just saying lol
Good to see the CDMA Desire get a gingerbread ROM.
I felt like I was getting left out :O
Question though.... are you going to be fixing the issues like 3D Acceleration, or did you just compile this?
So just so everyone understands, this is a rom based off the developmental source code of CyanogenMod 7. OP is not a developer and has no plans to fix any issues that come up. This is more or less a sneak preview of CM 7. OP is just compiling the public source code for CM 7. Treat these "releases" as a "nightly" build. And just for clarification these builds will be experimental so do not report bugs in this thread or anywhere else. CM devs know what does and does not work.
Thank you, I tried very hard to get that point across, but I suspect people don't always read everything. Nightly is exactly what they are, every night I sync the repo and build.
Edited the OP to include a quote of your post.

[Brainstorm/REQ] Porting CM6 to XT720

Greeting guys,
The guys at Milestone & Droid's forum had successfully ported CM7 to their phone. Due to the locked bootloader and no official froyo update, the lease we can do is porting CM6 to our phone.
Due to my limited experience on rom cooking, i would like to seek guide and help from the experts. thank you.
Build from source: http://android.doshaska.net/cm6build
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Compile_CyanogenMod_for_Sholes
Wiki page: https://www.droid-developers.org/
I saw a video of it in youtube for the milestone. This would be cool if someone could make this work for our phone and it would be stable. I like the time and effort that is put into these froyo builds, but they are not stable like eclair.

Dexter 1.3 vanilla and Dexter 1.3 with bugfix v2 and 3 is rock solid here, so dunno what you're talking about.
IMHO, If you just want a stable ROM,we should give our devs some time so they can iron out the issues-in-hand. They're not working with team as CM guys, so please be patient.
But on the other hand, you're a great big fan of CM and currently stuck with XT which can't get CM out of the box, you may try.

Getting an unofficial CM on XT720 is my ultimate goal, but I don't know how to do it yet. I'm learning about Android by fixing bugs/tweaking Dexter's ROM.
I pulled the CM6 sources and tried to build and follow the instructions on nadlabak's website. It seems like CM6 hasn't been built in a while so there are some bit-rot problems. For example it can't pull down the rom-manager stuff. I don't know if we need that or not. We don't (yet?) have rom-manager for XT720. Then there's the issue of the proprietary files. The proprietary files that need to be saved for Milestone (nadlabak's extract-files.sh script) doesn't match the files on XT720. So we'll have to work that out as well.

[ROM] [CM7] unofficial nightly

As long there is no official CyanogenMOD support on the Desire S, we must compile the nightlys from source for the Desire S.
I will compile a nightly if there are important changes or bugfixes in the cyanogen changelog.
These CyanogenMod builds are highly experimental and unsupported.
DO NOT: Post to the bug tracker
DO NOT: Think of this as official forum support; this thread will be strictly user to user support. Don't expect CM-dev help.

Just my 2 cents, but I'm thinkig, there's no need of CM nightlies. We should focus first on a real stable version, like superkid's one.
We are all working together on making the cm... we are all on the same team.. and what he does can help me, and what i do can help him
hi trismegistos
Does your rom contain some custom kernel or do I need to flash Tiamat?
I agree with that, but I think it's more useful to focus on a stable version rather than on a nightly build.

Epic GB kernel sources! (11/22/11 EI22 keyfix kernel)

11/22/11 Update: Added "reboot bml8 recovery" patch for ROM Manager suppport.
11/8/11 Update: Updated keyfix kernel with the EI22 initramfs. Also, Samsung has placed the previous official (and now labeled EI22) source tarball on their opensource site.
10/24/11 Update: It appears that Samsung has removed the "official" Epic GB source tarball from their website. I've mirrored it for anyone interested in the original release. For anyone actually looking to build with the sources, you're probably better off using Rodderik's GitHub
10/19/11 Update: As everyone's found out by now, Samsung released official Epic GB sources last night. There's not that many changes to our device in the official source tree compared to the previous, but a few appear to be subtlely important (see abbreviated deltas). It still needs some work to get into a buildable state, but it does appear to work great on EH17!
I've updated most of my patches for GB, conveniently packaged together. I've also uploaded a new EH17 kernel that works on stock (rfs) EH17 ROMs and includes the keyboard fixes with optimized values, along with userdebug and kexec support. Feel free to give it a try.
Meanwhile Rodderik is updating his GitHub repo to include all these patches for folks to clone from, stay tuned.
Happy hacking!
So apparently when Samsung released the kernel sources to the Mesmerize's Gingerbread update a month-and-a-half ago, that source tree contained almost-buildable kernel sources for our device as well.
I've patched the sources (removed modemctl definition, added tfsr driver, compile right camera driver) to build for the Epic. I've also built a custom EH17 kernel combining these sources with the EH17 initramfs. It's essentially stock EH17 with ro.debugging=1, adbd always-spawning during recovery, and testkey signature verification. I'll get to porting over some other patches (like the dropped key fix) soon.
As for compatibility with EH17, the source tree itself appears to have been checked out on 8/30 and looks to include everything EH17 does. I ran "strings Image | sort -u" on both kernels to make sure there weren't any obvious strings/symbol differences between them. The ones that remain appear to be minor, but legitimate fixes.
Thanks to jt1134 & Rodderik for pointing out that the Mesmerize source released contained Epic code, and Tortel & ugothakd for testing.
GitHub repo, thanks Rodderik!
To build:
Grab SCH-I500_USCC_Opensource_Update3.zip SPH-D700_GB_Opensource.zip from opensource.samsung.com, extract.
Run "make mrproper" to get rid of atlas (Mesmerize) config junk.
Patch to complete Epic support.
Build with EH17 initramfs as usual, use victory_8G_defconfig for kernel configuration.
Mirror links:
Official GB sources: SPH-D700_GB_Opensource.zip (originally posted on opensource.samsung.com, since removed.)

It just occurred to me that, with this finding a lot of good can happen, as well as ICS tomorrow. Depending on timezone I should say.

Heart just stopped beating LOL!

Ideally there would be one Samsung Android kernel source tree that would contain code for our device as well as all their others. However, I've been checking somewhat recently and code for Epic never appered in the GT-I9000 sources (which have been updated recently) nor in the Stratosphere ones.
It didn't occur to me to check the Mesmerize sources sooner, but as the only US device with an official GB release (still?) it shouldn't have been much of a surprise. It's also worth nothing that there appears to be GB sources for the Indulge in there as well. I'm not sure of their buildability though.
GREAT work mkasick.... everyone be SURE to thank him!
SWEET !!!
Exciting! Do the cm7 guys know about this, or is already used in the build we have?

I'm not sure, JT helped Decad3nce with CM 7 though and they both hacked the EH17 kernel to work for this. So hopefully it's something Decad3nce can use.
He said he was moving so he probably won't be back until tomorrow.

I believe JT was the one who discovered the Mesmerize sources were pertinent to us. He might've been able to compile something, but at least Rodderik was stuck on the missing tfsr driver without the right debugging bits.
I discovered this worked somewhat haphazardly when Rodderik mentioned the Mesmerize sources to me. They booted the first time with EH17 on SD, but wouldn't boot from flash. Since I was able to get it to boot off SD, debugging was a good deal easier.
In any event, it's a drop-in replacement for the current kernel used by the Epic CM7 build, so I'm sure they'll make good use of it sooner or later.
Actually what I'm curious about is if the reboot problems still persist with this. I haven't had one yet, but they haven't been a problem with stock EH17 on my device either.
