Hey,
currently I have the CM 12.1 at my M7. Last stable build was released in october 2015. My question is, contains the CM nightlie builds also the android security patches?
Cause I dont know when comes a new stable release for M7, much less when comes CM 13 for the M7 but I want to have the newest patches from google. I found nothing in the changelogs from cm.
Thanks!
Yes I do believe that the CM nightlies are updated with the latest security patches. BTW at this point if you didn't know there are unofficial CM13 ROMS for M7 however, they have bugs such as camera force closes and other minor ones.

So there was cm-10.2-20130814-NIGHTLY-quincytmo.zip released on 8/14 and cm-10.1.3-RC1-quincytmo.zip which was released on 8/28 as a release candidate. I'm confused on what the differences would be. Right now I've been running the 10.1 nightly's. In another post someone said the 10.2 was a 4.3 release, but wouldn't there be a stable release before a nightly release?
You had it right. They are trying to finish a 10.1 final, but there seem to be problems as the 10.1 branch just keeps going and going. The 10.1.3 is the latest attempt to close the door on Android 4.2.2 and move on to 4.3 exclusively.

But why is there a 10.2 nightly, wouldn't there first be a 10.2 stable? Should I keep going with the 10.1 nightly or should I download the 10.1.3 or 10.2?
The "stable" is the final release, its the last one. So night lies and M releases and RC's all come before Stable.
There are two branches being developed right now, 10.1.x, that has a "freeze" (no new features added) trying to get to a Stable final release, and 10.2 which will be what is developed from here on out.
What you run is up to you.
If you want new stuff just cause it is new I would suggest going with 10.2. It is not stable and reliable, but neither is 10.1 on our phones. To get something stable that doesnt randomly reboot you have to go back to the April M3 release or earlier.

Cool, thanks for the explanation.
On a side note I'm just waiting for the note 3 to come out hopefully in September and that it will have much more ROM support.
I have been away for sometimes on this thread and am a bit confused about what rom would be really solid stable CM 12.1. I dont look forward to dump of tweaks. Stock CM would be nice too! So, Please tell me which CM you are using and you think is best and of course without bugs.
Thanks in advance. Peace.
I don't think that there's the "best" CM 12.1 ROM, all are nightly builds. I'd suggest you to install the latest version unless you want to use the relatively old Snapshot release.
I installed the latest nightly build on yesterday, working fine so far!
Hello everyone,
I've always liked CM and the different features it offers, so I was planning to flash latest Snapshot since I would like to use it as my daily driver. What's your experience with it? Any major bugs? Is it stable enough? Or should I consider something else, such as Xposed + some modules (such as GravityBox)? I'm currently running latest stock build 5.1 (LPE23.32-14.2).
Thanks for your help.
The latest snapshot isn't bad, but I've had more success with the nightlies simply because they have patches that haven't made it into the snapshot builds yet. I'd say try out a couple nightlies and just stick with one that doesn't have any issues for you.

Could you recommend any nightly in particular to begin with?
I'm on the 10/25 nightly and haven't run into any major issues yet.
Hi,
first of all I would like to thank Hennymcc for releasing CM12.1 for the G800F at all.
I was wondering why the latest update is from mid-August, so vital security patches are not included in this ROM.
Is there still an active development in this project?
My wife bought this device a few days ago, and I was really surprised that there does not seem to exist a recent version of CM12.1 for
this (I believe) popular device.
Does anyone have further information regarding this matter?
Thank you.
Best regards,
Cryptoman007
Cm12.1 development is dead i think
because they're working on cm13 now
Not entirely dead, we'll see what happens if and when official Lollipop rolls out...
It is great that he already works on Marshmallow for the G800F, but let's see what the current situation is:
We can choose between stock-4.4.2 from the stone-age or CM12.1 from mid-August 2015.
Of course, CM12.1 is newer, but the most important security fixes are still missing, so currently the G800F cannot be declared as safe.
It would be great if he could release a CM12.1 version (just one) with the current fixes shortly.
When Samsung (if they do it at all...) will release the official Lollipop-ROM, these security fixes will surely be fixed, and there
will be (from the security standpoint) no need for an updated CM12.1 or even CM13, except for the bloatware or when new security issues will arise after that.
Hi,
Since CM site closure, where can I find Official CM nightly rom ?
Are CM Rom compatible for Madagascar ?
Thank you for your help

CyanogenMod is discontinued, there are no more updates. Unofficial releases can still be updated through the normal means, if the developer chooses to continue support. LineageOS is the new Cyanogen. It's available for most popular flagships and previous flagships. I don't think there's one for this phone. You can always look into compiling one yourself, though!
