[Q] CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 vs CyanogenMod 7.1 Nightly Builds

Hye, can I ask something?
What's the difference between
CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240177
and
CyanogenMod 7.1 Nightly Builds => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268304
Try to search for it, but still cannot find the difference.
Thanks.

Ummm, the differences come...get ready....nightly.
Sorry, not trying to be an ass, but couldnt resist. Nightlies are updated more or less nightly with new tweaks and features. RC is the last known stable, non-experimental build. If you follow the nightly thread, I'm sure someone will be posting links to the changelog.

It's okay. Still newbie here.
Yes, the word nightly. I know that, but after try searching the difference, still know nothing.
So, what do you mean is, nightly builds is official rom from cyanogenmod?

They are both official, but nightlies contain changes done to improve the roms, ofcourse doesn't always mean that it improves. Those are what I like to think of as "experimental". RC stands for release candidate. Rc's have been known to be the latest stable rom that is ready for public testing. Still, rc's are just released to receive approval, once everyone likes it, it may become official, or Stable release. You'll know when they're unofficial, they will state so in the threads name.

RC[Release Candidate] is the Stable Release While Nightly Builds are often modified with new tweaks and always improved, which means nightly are quick updated

CyanogenMod RC and Nightly Builds explained
In the world of CyanogenMod...
7.1 = indicates the version number of the mod
RC = Release Candidate, mostly bug-free, also known as "stable", change log usually available
Nightly Builds are
Beta
No change-log. Cyanogen fans accept that they would rather a Modder/Developer spend time working on a new version, than taking precious time to write change logs documenting every thing they did/tweaked.
Not released at a certain time (night).
Not released EVERY night, could be weekly.
A new "nightly" version is released, when the developer/modder is ready to upload it.
Any inquiries of when a new RC or nightly will be available will receive the following tin-can reply, "it'll be ready when its ready."
"Nightly" CyanogenMod fans/users are like Pit Bulls who haven't been fed in 3 days. They look forward to a new version every "night", even if its bugged and bad. If the a new "nightly" released version is very buggy, the CyanogenMod fan/user will simply restore/revert to an earlier CyanogenMod version that worked, whether its nightly or RC version, simply using the "restore" of a backup function. All CyanogenMod fans are advised to backup, before doing any changes. Those that don't, usually regret it, and won't do it again.
Those Developers/Modders working tirelessly to improve upon the CyanogenMod are doing it for the most part on their own time late at night. Bugs expected, because it wasn't thoroughly tested because so many CyanogenMod fans are eager and hungry for the latest version with cool features and tweaks and hope to not wait a month+ for an official-mostly'debugged-version(RC).
Each Android Mobile requires dedicated Modders/Developers, because every mobile has different ram/rom/processor/buttons/irks/camera and requires a special build. Therefore if you have an outdated mobile (ie. G1) that no dedicated Modders/Developers are using, you may never see an CyanogenMod update again.
In the world of updating a Android OS, if you fix/add one feature, it may/will break/not-work another feature. Usually the first thing to break/not-work the camera &/or the video camera &/or the front camera. If you're planning to become a Developer/Modder, expect a lot of frustration.

In answer to the qusetion; nothing.
The RC1 in the link is an official port for Cyanogen7 that is so much of a recent development that it is not yet included in the CM Nightly releases that have already been explained. I'm guessing that it will still be a port until after this round of updates when Nexx's excellent "RC1" will finally be fully integrated into the Cm device family.
As very little can happen to a nightly build sometimes, Nexx just can't be arsed to update nightly, he just does it when there's a biggy in the changelog.
Keep up the good work Nexx. v105 is Solid.

Hey guys when official CyanogenMod for ChaCha will be relesed?

well, first of all this would depend on which -version- of cyanogenmod you're referring to. there is currently both a CM7 build out as well as a CM9.
And the current Cyanogenmod being worked on is CM10(although unfortunately nobody has started a port for the ChaCha with CM10 yet)
the next thing it depends on is when the builds become stable. most custom CM based roms out currently have a few major bugs(for example, the CM9 port doesn't yet have the front camera working)
and lastly, it depends on the developers of these ports to submit their source to the cyanogenmod community/team and for the cyanogenmod community/team to accept it as a stable and official build.
so "when" really depends on the developers, and the stability. so, likely not anytime soon.(especially based on the slow development for most roms for this phone lately)

[Q]ROM for LG Optimus Hub

Hello community, I need your help!
I have the LG e510 Optimus Hub and wanted to use cyanogenmods but it seems that the rom has APN issues with 128k SIMs. This problems exists in all versions, I tried the official cm7.2 stable and all nightlies and the unofficial CM9,10 of markolino. And as far as I've heard the CM-Team doesnt work on CM7 anymore.
I also tried MUI but it was discontinued and still has many bugs. So I want to know if there are other good roms for this device with overclock option. Or is there a kernel for the stockrom to boost the perfomance of the device?
Hop that there is something to be done.

So no one has any solution to my problem or am I the only one with this "funny sim" issue?

Just because there are some homebrew ports doesn't mean that MIUI is 4.2 yet.

Why does it matter ? We use unofficial ROMs anyway...
sent from me

That's like saying that since a car, airplane, and weed-whacker all run on gas, you should just put the same stuff in each. Actually, the unofficial ROMS is a more tenuous connection than my gas connection. It's more like saying that since a bullet train, horse, and diesel bus all run on fuel, the fuel which goes into each shouldn't matter. It's all fuel.
Hey, you could (please don't) use an unofficial Vibrant ROM too. That's unofficial. What's the difference? The difference is that it won't work. And might brick your phone. That's bad.
Our only current Aries kernel is 4.2.2 and still has issues. MIUI is still 4.1.2 and would introduce an entirely new set of issues tied into GPS, Bluetooth, and so forth if/when a 4.1.2 Aries kernel was compiled. Does that make it impossible? No. But it means that as the build impetus - when MIUI is 4.2 - has not happened yet... it's not a great use of time yet. Unless one of the devs wants it. In which case, MIUI being not-updated is something they don't need to be hammered over the head with.

4.2.2?

Port. If YOU see source linked from that page so our devs could actually do something useful to build that...

Hi Theraze
I have to disagree with you.
Port is not a dirty word and most of our ROMs are actually ports and not built from source. Furthermore, MIUI ROM is usually ported and not built from source and only recently did Xiaomi open their sources for the public. Even more than that, both MIUI versions brought to us by Beast were ports from Nexus and not built from source.
Now, regarding the incompatibility between kernel & OS - if it works on Nexus, I assume the adjustments were made, so one can enjoy both 4.2.2 & MIUI benefits. There is no logical reason why it couldn't be ported to our beloved device.
sent from me

I'm not saying it can't be done. I'm saying that our build-from-source dev who asked you to let him know when it hit 4.2 hasn't had his request met.
Does that mean that someone (him or another dev) CAN'T port it? Nope. But it makes it a lot less likely that air can just pull the source in and compile it using the Aries bits if the buildable MIUI is still only 4.1.2 and our Aries is 4.2.2 instead.
Again, I think we're agreeing on the general bits... yes, this is possible. But airfluip1 asked to be notified when buildable MIUI was 4.2.2 and that's when he said he'd build it. Not port it.

I don't care if a ROM is ported or built from source.
I will try to play with porting it myself.

[Q] is MoKee any good?

Hi there
I will shortly be joining either the custom rom user world or bricked phone world. :silly:
I am absolutely new to the topic and would love some advice from you all.
My phone is stock ICS and I want to switch to a ROM which is very stable and fast.
Earlier i was thinking of going for PA or Cyanogen but neither seem to officially support Motorola Atrix 2. :crying:
MoKee is the only distribution which apparently has official support for my phone.
I was wondering if there is any other ROM which officially supports Atrix 2?
How good is MoKee? Would you recommend this ROM to a newbie? From what i know, Cyanogen seems to be the easiest to install.
Also, can someone list the steps to installing Mokee?
I read the content at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305303
but for a 1st time newb all that seems very intimidating.
thank you
Rishav

All of new ROM's for our Atrix2 are fast and most of them are stable (depends on user )
& Even though CM 11 is not official for our phone, but currently it is the most stable and all bug fixed rom for our A2
(I am not saying Mokee or other ROMs are not stable, but at this stage CM 11 has all bug fixed and I am sure Mokee & other will incorporate it soon :fingers-crossed: )
Also all ROM's have same procedure to install, so all ROM's are easy to install (Thanks to BMM)
You can follow steps in that link or check this video tutorial for using BMM
"Axxiom Kat" also has official support to our device.
It doesn't matters (at least for this device) whether the ROM has official support or not, our device has a team of some Recognized Contributors and A2EPT (Atrix 2 edison porting team) which keep the ROM up to date as like it is an official ROM :victory:
So dont worry flash any ROM you want :highfive:

Thanks Sameer!
Guess CM11 is the best bet for me.
Btw, what is the kernel update?
Would you recommend me to go for a custom kernel now? or is it something i should attempt only when i have the hang of modding?

All rom's have inbuilt custom kernel (kexec kernel), if you wanna try overclocking your device you can use JBX kernel
JBX can be flashed after ROM installtion.
But for a newbie like you dont flash it yet, first try some ROM's; when you get used to it then try JBX.
And if this helps you, dont say thanks press Thanks button below the post !!
And we have separate Q&A section for question and answers
Please dont post questions here in general section

MoKee is bug free and gps works berry good

Mokee is stable and you can try SlimKat as well

Slimkat worked best for me as far as battery life, but cm11 was best overall
atrix 2 cm11
