[Q] official cm? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering why there isn't official nightly of this device, is it because there is no sources or?
Thanks.

CM Nightlies have their own standards, builds that are pushed as nightly have all the basic functions of the phone in working state (albeit not stable) for eg: gsm, bluetooth, wifi, camera, etc.
So until FXP team completes the bring-up phase of this phone, there wont be any nightly
sent via my awesome XPERIA Z

But they're in a pretty solid way right now, shouldn't be too long till regular nightlys.
Just follow the thread in the original Android development section.

I see, thanks for the answers guys.

Codeworkx is basically releasing nightlies already, builds are coming out everyday now!

[UNOFFICIAL] CyanogenMod 9 for Incredible S

Saw a lot of people posting about CM9 the past month, some were hoping it is official released or supported. It won't happen until awhile more for an official update. here's an unofficial build:
I just sync and built with the vivo device tree, only changes from stock CM9:
- kernel (kaijura) - without it: no panorama, updated kernel drivers, etc
- added usb
What may be fixed later or can be done:
- merge twistedumbrella's camera code to enable camera
- add rotating keys (st.matt)

This is a kang'ed version of CM9 off the repo. It is totally experimental. This lets you get an initial taste of CM9 without having to wait for however long it takes for an official release. My initial impression after running this kang: CM9 has a long way to go before it becomes daily material.

Just tried the gapps 02 07 2012 version. Yep works fine so far for gmail, market and YouTube HD.
Following CyanogenMod 9 Blog from Cyanogen himself, he said a few words on the directions of the project:
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/progress-on-cm9
So it seems like from what I understand what he says, we might not get official support for camera and video until the IncS HTC ICS release, which is supposed to be wayy later this year.

This is cyanogenmod team, so you get an idea of how far the cm9 team has progressed with ICS. Some people have been with CM since the old G1 days you know?
Yeah its definitely not a daily but it is pretty cool to check out. Once our phone has an official ICS ROM from htc you can bet cm9 will be official for vivo. It's more of a peek at what's to come. I swear by cm so if we don't get official support I would be amazed and disappointed.

People believe the target may be Qualcomm instead of HTC. There has been a long discussion on this at the DesireZ forums and lots of people emailed, you can read its progress here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=20970354
I updated the CM9 KANG build to Feb'18 2012. Lots of commits and fixes, too much to list. Some minor changes but getting more and more stable now.
In other works, I have also ported a very popular DHD ICS ROM Ice Cold Sandwich from the Desire HD section with permission from LorD ClockaN and some help from vampire36 who ported it to the Desire S.
So far, it works fine on release 2.0, it uses some sources from CM9 and community fixes.
But I need to tweak it a little to get it working smoothly, there are some minor things wrong with it and camera is not working right at the moment. If people are crazy about it I'll try to get a fully functional rom up sometime.

Hey does anyone remember how we got added to the cm builds last year? Sort of feeling like were out of the loop cm wise as we used to have our own stables and nightlies.

Say what?
They went down due to server relocation and now 7.2-RC3 is the latest. http://get.cm/?device=vivo
There isn't much point to have nightlies to release nowadays for CM7 as there isn't much to update. You can see gingerbread updates here:

In CM9's case we likely aren't going to get any updates until the official 3.0 kernel sources are out for one of the msm7x30's. HTC has 90 days to release it after they provide official OTA update. I believe the teams will prefer's USA/WWE RUU's, not the China stuff we have right now.
Desire S and Desire HD are closest cousins to us. When the kernel sources are out, they will likely work on coding with the proprietary camera files that comes with official sense 3.6 to make it compatible with CM9 / AOSP.
Most of the CM9 devices on there right now already have their official ICS kernel source available and stuff's already worked on/being touched up on. Samsung's ahead of the game at this point.
That is why there are Playground and IceCold for now, you can picture them as 'hacked' roms to use GB files/code to make it work with ICS.

[CM] CyanogenMod 10 KANG for the Xperia T [NEW]

This is a CM 10 KANG for the Sony Xperia T.
Thanks to:
CM team - codeworkx, Kali- and freexperia especially - they've done pretty much everything up till this point - hopefully I, personally, will be helping out a bit more when I have time. Right now the only thing I have done is compile and release.
This is an unofficial kang of their work.

When there are codeworkx, kali- and fxp working on it
And when fxp has already made a thread for it, what's the need for this thread????
And this is not development in the remotest sense
Let the real cm10 devs maintain the real thread
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
Yes freexperia has made a thread. However on that thread there are no instructions on flash process, no working/not working list and the download link is unclear.
While this rom right now is based completely on their work I the future I will be using my own configs and sources.
This is basically an unofficial KANG of their work, be nice for that to be included in OP

Wow guys. Its seems that things work differently around here than other devices I have had in the past that I have developed for. I didnt know that KANGS were frowned upon.
I hope I have not annoyed anyone by releasing this KANG and apologise if I have done so.
Sent from my Xperia T using Tapatalk 2
Its not that, it's just that freexperia haven't even released their first build yet and already someone is kanging, no harm in kanging, just everyone from the Xperia phones has huge respect for them and how much effort they have and are putting in,
I guess it looked like the thread was an attempt of a 1st release AOSP based rom, no harm meant its just how we are
If the KANG was of something different like paranoid or AOKP (which champ has already done) then no one would mind...

I understand. I too have huge respect for them and have used their work in the past on non Sony devices.
I might do what you suggested and work on paranoid android.

I see no issue with doing this as long as everyone knows it's unofficial. Over on the S2 (which I own) forums there are a number of unofficial CM kangs like this and they're left to carry on as they are. You've given credit's but maybe worth adding also a link to the source so it's clear where you're building from as it's not your source. Once official CM10 is released it'll be over on the Original Development so they'll both be kept separately anyway.
Thanks

Hey,
No offense here
I am full OK with Kanging our sources, but please do not release a version (this one is ok but future ones), until we released the very fist one. For now mint is not marked as stable we want to publish soon but it is "unfair" to release our stuff before we decided to go public with it in a good manner. Also for stability it would be nicer to wait for our first version
For future i am really looking forward to see some of your (and other developers) work to contribute back to CM project
Best Regards
Bin4ry
I'm cool with that. I have helped out the CM project in the past and would love to and intend doing so in the future.

[Q] Will it be possible to OTA update UNOFFICIAL CM10 FXP ROM with CM-Updater?

Will it be possible to OTA update UNOFFICIAL CM10 FXP ROM's, like in the http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2049235 thread, with CM-Updater?
It will not be, it is. I'm doing it every day. Well, I did it every day before the nightlies stopped for an unknown reason two days ago.
It seems to be a common CM10 problem though, not SEMC or XT specific, there were no new nightlies for many devices past January 7.

So the answer is that one can OTA update only to official cyanogenmod nightlies, if they were built with cyanogenmod buildservers, correct?
It works from cm nightly to cm nightly, build by buildbot jenkins, correct.
If FXP simply doesnt work or if FXP would simply update to the latest cm nightly, that I don't know.
FXP to FXP does not work for sure though, the updater is unable to poll one-click hosters which is what team FXP uses.
What they could do, is switch from rapidshare&co to goo.im for example, because there's a goo manager on the playstore (?) which would work when updated builds appear on goo. The goo manager is also device sensitive. Utacka, releasing an "unofficial" PA nightly for the Galaxy Note did this, very convenient for updating highly similar and standardised builds and packages outside the pure cm sphere.
Thank you very much for clarification. I think it's worth to add it to the FAQ.

[AOSP] Who should I be following as the better AOSP. CM or FreeXperia?

Hey so I love that we have AOSP for my Sony = Sony Nexus!!
But who should I be following as the cutting edge of AOSP. I know Sony releases some sources but not the proprietary ones so I know most of it comes from there. I myself have just installed the latest RC3 of CM 10.1. And the bugs I used to have like Lockscreen delay and No audio on Hangouts seem to have gone. But why should I install FreeXperia over CM?
Is CM the base that everyone bases their AOSP on? Is Free Xperia more focused on the Sony Specific Issues?
And what about Linaro? Carbon? AOKP? Are they all based off the same source (they all seem to have the same bugs)
Thoughts? Direction?
Thanks in advance!
First of all, CM roms are made by the FXP team as they are official CM maintainers for Sony devices.
Secondly, Sony's AOSP sources are different from that of CM sources. AOSP implies pure android with stock customizations. CM sources is heavily customizable (think of all the settings you can do in CM10.1) they are based on Google's open source as well as the device specific source code released by Sony.

I too would like to know this - obviously, they're very close, but there must be something different there.
I spent an hour trying to find this out the other night - got slightly excited when I saw a message from some poor sucker who explained he was a noob, etc, blah, blah, and would someone please explain the difference. The only reply he got was a terse demand that he go read the FreeXperia dev thread and work it out for himself ...
If someone can write an explanatory sentence or two about the difference between the builds on the official Cyanogen Mod site and the FXP* builds from freexperiaproject.com, I would appreciate it.

hey man, I had forgotten that I had made this thread but long story short FXP and CM are the same. CM has their own schedule, standards and code they develop and CM work towards AOSP for all their devices. FXP are SONY only, They use the code by CM and are responsible for both the Sony releases via CM and FXP. How FXP differs is that they can go ahead and release a lot of versions without any established "stable" or milestones they just release updates as they go. CM take those Sony specific changes that are made and combine them standard CM code are release Milestones, RC's and Nightlies with varying results
TLDR: They are the same, All the Sony specific code in CM is FROM FXP, FXP has no interest in making a stable version they just release new code in an almost "nightly" fashion. Their is no guarantee that the newest FXP will be more stable then the previous, its the same risk you take when you go with CM nightlies.
Personally I prefer CM Nightlies. If you want stable (with established bugs) go with CM, if you want to be running the latest CM code go with CM but if you want the latest sony fixes (unstable at times) go FXP, who updates about 1 every 1-2 weeks
Great explanation mate, thanks for that.
