[Q] different between official cyanogen and FXP cyanogen... - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

what is the different between official cyanogenmod and cyanogenmod FX043 built by FXP....and what is the advantage between them...
if u are the user, which of this will u use...

First.. Development section is not for Q&A
Second I would assume both are the same. FXP uses the same source of official CM.

simply adapted for ARC?

i use the official CM ROM from their site, i originally use the FXP one and it didnt have the vibrations, i eventually realised the official CM one was on a later version (FXP was cm7.0.1 i think and official was on cm7.0.3 or something) but it fixed the slight issues i had.
other than that, i dont see a difference.
i use doom kernel with official CM image though.

anyone knows who's making the nightly's? and where to find a change log?

CM9/10?

There are a few (or more) ICS/JB roms that are fully running without any problems on DHD. Why CM doesn't make one officially? I'm using CM7 and I saw many ICS roms running smoothly on DHD but I'm not going to try it because I don't want to loose my stuff on current CM7. So I'm waiting for CM to build an official one. Why don't they build it?
And I found out CM only build an official one when the manufacturer release a official new stock rom. Right?
...
yes. Its correct and CM's you are talking about are custom roms and that's why they are diffeerent. Release of official CM is unknown becouse kernel for dhd is not released

Right now I'm using official cm. If I wanted to change to an unofficial cm, do I need to wipe data off?
I guess you mean cm7. I would always do a full wipe before flashing a new rom. It might be ok if you don't wipe but it's not worth chancing it because you could get problems later. Backup your apps if you need to first if that's what you're concerned about.

[Q] How do I install the kernel from CM 7.2?

Question:
How do I extract the kernel from CyanogenMod 7.2, so that I can install it as a zip into a different ROM? Do I have to build from source?
Why I ask:
I'm trying MIUI (1.12.9 from MIUI.us), but it has a Bluetooth problem. It can pair with my laptop and can connect to send files, but it won't connect to a program I have (Type2Phone) that lets me use my laptop as a Bluetooth keyboard for my mobile devices. All I get is "Paired but not connected." CyanogenMod (7.2.0 and 9) and AOKP (official ICS) don't have this problem; it's specific to MIUI.
I think it's a kernel issue. This MIUI version is based on Android 2.3.5 and comes with kernel version 2.6.35.14-cyanogenmod-g9e5cdf1. If CM 7.2.0 (which is based on Android 2.3.7) final has a different kernel version, I'd like to try installing that kernel into MIUI if possible.

Have you tried it with aeros kernel? His .7 was the preferred kernel by many.

I'd try it but I can't seem to find any links to it that aren't broken.

Ask reville. He had some old stuff on a site of his I think. If you can't get it from him I may have it. I am going to bed but I can maybe check tomorrow.
And look back at the miui thread and see if it was posted in the last few pages.

Download dsixda rom kitchen.
You can extract kernels using that.
Try googling!

Revile's site:

But you will only get back to .8 kernel.

Though I had it. Hope this helps.

Thanks, everyone. I ended up going with khamsakamal48's unofficial MIUI v4 ROM, which solves my Bluetooth problem and is really good. So far it's my favorite ROM, compared to stock 2.3.3, CM 7.2, CM9, and AOKP ICS. Between that ROM, Google Now for ICS (MIUI Now), a replacement MicroSD card I bought yesterday (previous one was defective), and finding out that my headphone jack wasn't damaged (works with earbuds, just not the big headphones I'd been trying it with), it feels like I've got a whole new phone.

Thanks. I'll make note of that for future reference.

[Q] CM vs FXP

Hey!
I've been wondering if i should start using the stock nightly builds over get.cm,
FXP hasn't been giving out detailed logs for the xperia arc, so i guess there are no fixes done to it? cause all i see are *latest cm 9.1/10
So do older fixes gets pushed to newer FXP CM builds or are they already fixed on the official cyanogen builds?
FXP is the team, who develops CM for Xperia devices.
So, what you see on the CM website, is made by FXP team.
You should know i guess that fxp team are the official cyanogen maintainers for xperia devices so u wudnt notice much difference in these ROMs. Regarding the nightlies, every nightly has newer fixes/patches and older fixes are naturally included as well..

Based on my post, you ahould know that i have understood all of that prior to this post. Please read my post and not just the topic. FXP builds haven't been pushing log fixes for the arc recently but a rebranded fw off stock cm. Get.cm has newer nightly builds buf fxp only uses a week or even later builds for their newer releases.
So i'm still confused... Is the rom of fxp the same as the nightly builds, or the same people working on those roms?
Now I'm using the nightly build, I tried it because at first i got issues with the fxp build, issues were: keyboard fc's and no wifi, but with nightly I reflashed wifi modules(lupus) after installing rom and that does seem to work, so perhaps also would work on fxp but don't know because didn't try yet. Keyboard issue persists, so i flashed xperia V keyboard which I like better anyway(swype).
I come from ultimate HD but i like cm10 more, even though battery is better on uhd. What i like is lockscreen, sms popup and ant+, etc... I don't like camera app and no out of the box digital clock widget I know some of these can just be modded and flashed over except ant+ whick is key to me because i bought a heartrate monitor.
Sorry I made it a cm10 vs uhd thread

Fxp is the team. CM are stable builds while nightly are more unstable with untested fixes and bugs.

First, I recommend you flash Elemental X in recoveries instead of GOO.IM amanger, download it from the developer's xda thread here, and flash it in recoveries.
Which AOKP are you using? The Official one in this thread which is the same as the on AOKP's own website? or the Unofficial one posted here on XDA?
The Official AOKP is currently based on CM CAF Kernel, which means you should use CAF ROM with it, ElementalX is not going to work with CM CAF based ROMs so if you are on this version of AOKP I would stay away from ElementalX for now.
The Unofficial AOKP is based on stock AOSP Kernel and work fine with ElementalX, If this is version you are on I would recommend you get Elemental X 1.8 Beta as other users have said it provides really good battery life.
Thank for the help but I have a few questions
What is the difference between installing in recoveries and goo.I'm
And would I want to install aokp first, then elementals or vice versa.
Would I have to completely uninstall too in order to not use it for the installation
I think I initially tried installing it in recovery mode but it couldn't see the target file

[Q] update quantum rom with cm nightlies

I'm using Samsung Galaxy s3 i747 d2att....just flashed "[ROM][KERNEL][4.4.2/4.3] Quantum v3.21 & QuantumKernel 1/16". In the about phone settings is the option to update CM nightlies, same as a normal rom from the CM nightly does. This option seems to work as it does bring up available CM nightly roms for download. This Quantum rom is CM based. My question is "should I attempt to install a different CM nightly on this modded rom"? Do you think this option was just left in by mistake by the developer? My instinct tells me not to try it, but I'm not sure if this is an actual update option for the rom. I would ask this in the rom developement section but I am limited by posting rules. Thanks

I don't use Quantum anymore, but I think that's just left in there because it's essentially CM but with tweaks and optimizations. I could be wrong, but if you want Pwn's work, don't use CM's updater.

Thanks for your quick response. That's pretty much what I thought would be the answer, but I did see, in at least one instance, where he advised someone to flash to an earlier CM nightly to try to correct a problem. Thought that maybe that was kind of a standard procedure with CM based roms, & they could continue to be updated with nightlies without losing the tweaks. Thanks again for response!
