[ROM] [NIGHTLY] [UNOFFICIAL] [CyanogenMod 6.1-RC2] Just awsome! - Nexus One Android Development

First of all I want to make some things clear:
This is my own custom build I made with the help of this great tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=775505
This has nothing to do with the offical nightly build from Cyanogen and his team.
I won't provide any support for this. If you want to flash this you should know what you do. Don't ask me anything like "How do I flash this?".
This could be even more unstable then the official nightly build since I add commits that are not merged. It's a great feature preview, but I can't guarantee anything. I can't tell you if the features you see here will make it into any official build.
What is it?
Its a custom build of the latest Cyanogen sources spiced up with some not (yet?) merged patches.
What's inside?
A basic ROM with "a2sd light" and without g-apps. I removed ADW Launcher too since it's lags, included is the stock Android Launcher2.
I also removed CMStats since this one isn't anything official and could be more buggy then anything else.
Whats "a2sd light"?
Its like the original a2sd from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=715940
but I removed all things that handle the dalvik-cache. I tried the original a2sd and didn't like it since it moved the /cache/dalvik-cache/ back to /data. Don't know if thats the way it should be.
I don't know how often I will make new builds, it depends if I find new things I want to try. If there are no new commits that interest me I won't make a new build.
I will only upload builds that work for me. So the basic stuff should work for everyone, if it doesn't try to wipe before flashing. If it still doesn't work use the official nightly/RC/stable/whatever... (Thats the point with "I won't provide any support").
So whats inside today/night?
All commits that were made until 28.Nov 2010 05:00pm (look here to get some details: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#q,status:merged,n,z)
+ updateted gesture support on Lockscreen
+ custom app for lockscreen messaging slider
- User can now define unlock and sound toggle gestures.
- Lockscreen tabs can now be fully disabled, but ONLY if there is
some other method of unlocking the device enabled. This includes:
Trackball unlock, menu key unlock, and gesture unlock.
- Changed default gesture sensitivity to 3
Allow the user to specify which application to launch using
the lockscreen messaging slider.

So the only difference between this and the official buildbot nightly is you added some a2sd that we can install via recovery anyway?

awesome idea for a thread!

Tada, the first one that didnt get what this is about. Try to find the lockscreen in the official nightly. Guess what, its not there yet. Because the patch is not merged yet. And the buildbot uses only merged things.
Maybe you start reading and thinking before posting next time...

I read the entire post but still fail to see it's worth.
I would rather wait a day for it to be merged and in the official nightly, than use a build which has no support and is stated will only be updated when you see fit.
It doesn't offer anything other than a couple commits which have not yet made it into the official nightly.
Also unless you plan on building it every day/night you should probably take [NIGHTLY] out of the title, I think it's a little misleading.

Well, if support is your sticking point, then even using the cyanogen nightly is something you should avoid. This is just a user posting his creation if someone wants to play with the ROM. Happens all the time here. That's why this is a great site. Pick your poison. All about choice. Ignore what you don't want to use. I don't think the OP tried to pass this off as better than anything else. Just offering something to play with. I thought it was communicated very clearly.

some people, obviously not you, experience the joy of flashing a rom for the sheer pleasure of flashing a rom. you dont have to flash it, or even read the thread(thats an absolute right that you have). but, i do see the worth in it. if not for anything else, the op is learning about building roms and has other people, like me, to test them out. i believe that it brings the op joy in building them and sharing. since its his own personal build, he can not post them in the official nightly thread. i was posting custom cm nightlies in the official thread and was asked to make a separate thread, and never did. btw, there are nights that there are no nightlies, so does the name of that thread have to change also? anyways, if you do have a good idea for the name of the thread, let the op know. maybe he will change it

A lot of people are asking about the lockscreen options in the Nightly thread. This should shut them up for now.
There's also no real need to support this at all. It's based on a nightly that is oudated in a few hours and it only has a couple patches. If anything is wrong he's not the developer of this ROM so there isn't anything for him to fix. It's just CM 6.1 built from source with new commits that aren't yet merged.
Just a taste of whats ahead.

Thanks to the OP for posting this. I like all the other flashing addicts find it refreshing trying out others peoples builds. Plus I have serious respect for the time, energy and hard drive space that goes into making these. Nice job.

---

Great job, I love the lock screen!, works perfect.
Last time I checked, Cyanogen nightlys were not supported either! just saying!

I don't care if you think it's worth flashing or not. I make my own "nightly" builds for several weeks already. Since some people asked I started this. Seems like there are people out there willing to try it. If you want to wait do so and keep it for yourself.
It seems you have a bad life, complaining about things that you don't like/think they are not worth trying... Try to read only topics that you are interested in. If you aren't interessted in this shut up, stop posting, go away and hate someone else.
I don't want to call it the best thing ever or anything else. This is just a feature preview. Maybe the features make it into a official build, maybe not. I don't decide that. But I decide which commits I want to use...
And about the "nightly" tag, I use it since I use the same sources for it. It should tell the people that this is nothing that got tested several days and it could contain bugs. (Like the stupid gras wallpaper on the lockscreen)

i think its a great idea, there is no need to bash someone for posting a modified nightly, this is a common thing in the open-source community
also there are many things you can merge and play with.
i for one merge some webkit stuff (from official webkit repo) when i get the chance , you should look into that.

- 2 pages of spam only
- great idea "g4rb4g3" keep it up!

New version, updated first post.

That's awesome! If I hadn't gotten swept up in the whole MIUI craze, I would give it a go

Great work, but i think that is better waiting for RC2 official release for mod it.
