How does CM development work? - Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was wondering how and when the CM unofficial, nightlys and stables get posted or moderated. I know Grarak does allot for the community in the unofficial builds of cm 11 and 12, but after they become official does he still work on them or are they taken over by a larger development team for non specific device patches to cyanogen mod?

It being "Official" only means it's hosted on the Cyanogen website, and that all the Cyanogen Mod source code changes get auto injected into the builds. daily, then uploaded. That's automated.
Everything that's specific for our device Grarak still does.

i was asking myself the same question, so thank you for the question, and thanks for the answer :good:

Where is the official CM 9 Dev thread ?

Curious if there is a thread from the official CM 9 team ? I see a lot of new ROM's releasing saying they are based off parts of CM 9, but where is the official true development thread by the team themselves ?

There is no official CM9 for any phones or tablets. It is in pre-alpha stages. The CM9 kangs are compiled off CM9 source.
So kangs are the same as the "nightlies" but nightlies aren't being made because it is too early in development and CM Settings are still being ported to ICS.
Does anybody know where to find the official nightly thread for the TF101?
There are downloads available here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=tf101
But the latest is from 11 of march.
The changelog keeps getting updated but there is no cut since the 11th of march?

The thread of sportsstar89 has been closed because there should be new build servers for the team.
But where is the thread?

Nightlies Thread

I was wondering if there are anymore e4gt devs that produce the best roms nigntly? If you guys know any please share their link where you can find their nightly roms.
I'd like to start off by sharing my favorite nightly flashable rom:
CyanogenMod 9

unofficial AOKP by chris41g
http://goo.im/devs/chris41g
shabby builds these roms from the TeamEpic source nightly until we are a supported device.. then CM will build them nightly.. so yes, they are the same as Darchstars releases
cool, so they're as official as we can get until its officially supported.
are there any other nightly links you guys know of? AOKP? AOSP builds?
I came accross chris41g's more than nightly page, can't find any forum discussion on this AOKP rom I'm about to flash though but he's a good developer so I'm sure it's great.

What's the difference in the CM9 builds

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone could say what the difference between the two builds of CM9 are. There's the team chopsticks version found here: http://www.teamchopsticks.org/p/install-guide.html. And there is the, I guess more or less, official release here: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cyanogenmod-9-rc2
Am I right in thinking that the team chopsticks version is an unofficial attempt to port it over at the same time that the CM team came out with official support.
Has anyone compated the two? I've often heard a lot about CM, but have never tried it. I'm currently running Darkside Evolution 3 v8 with Touch0Color theme and I love it.
Thought?
I too was thinking about giving the latest CM9 RC2 a try. Kind of waiting to see if anyone else gives it try and reports back. I might do it before end of day today though.

I am currently running same Rom as you but a version behind, V7. I am just hoping that I can install it with the same version of Clockwork that I used for Darkside.
Team Chopsticks are the official maintainers for CM on T989. They are the ones who incorporate and create the code for our device. CM requires that all code be checked and approved before being merged. The "unofficial" builds from team chopsticks represent experimental, unapproved changes yet to be fully merged into CM.
Essentially, they are one and the same.
ive been wondering the exact same thing. im currently running darksidev8 as a dd but recently tested aokp which was nice as well. now im interested in seeing what cm9 has to offer.
Try the Cm9 rc2 its a daily driver for me.

Best advice download and try roms from this site as opposed to searching the web and as others have said yes Team Chopsticks are the maintainers for our phone so what they do to CM9 will be strictly for our phones.
If you are new to CM9 just stick with the thread we have here and get goo.im which will help facilitate your downloads of updates.

Nightlies

What exactly are the Cynogen "Nightlies"? I have the latest Cynogen ROM on my SGS3. Are these updates created by individuals to make the current ROM better?
"Nightlies" are nightly builds of the current state of the code base, incorporating changes that haven't yet made it into official releases.
You can get an idea of what those changes are in, for example, the 10.1 builds here, and you can download them from here.

[Q] CM11 Unofficial vs Nightly

I've been running PlayfulGod's CM11 Unofficial for the past couple days with success. I see that CM11 "official" nightly builds are now available, but PlayfulGod is still updating the unofficial build.
Just wondering if there is a changelog for the nightly builds similar to what PlayfulGod has on his thread? I'm not clear what the differences between these versions are. I'm new!
If you read the threads, you should be able to find out what the unofficial builders cherry pick that aren't in the official builds. All it takes is a little bit of reading.
For the most part, there are not going to be any drastic changes - they are on the same base after all.

Yes you're right .. i think the unofficial is the best than nightly .. because nightly just beta tester before official ...
