Ba2tf is a beta release by the Atrix dev. team, who originally ported CM7 to the Atrix; it includes Atrix specific fixes from the previous beta release.
The nightlys are released by the CyagonMod dev. team, based off of the work provided by the Atrix dev. team. The nightly updates include fixes, new test build ideas, etc. that have to do with CM7 in general, and may or may not include specific updates for the Olympus (aka the Atrix).
The nightlys and also the Atrix dev team beta builds have been suspended more or less, due to the fact that most of the members of both dev teams are allocating their resources towards working on getting CM9 out. Last estimate I herd of a release candidate for CM9 was something like April???
There are also weekly builds released by the Atrix dev. team (see corresponding thread in dev. section). These are kind of alike nightlys (except that they are weeklys ) released by the Atrix dev. team to try out fixes, new things, etc.
The most stable of the three choices you have to choose from is probably the beta build by the Atrix dev team (Ba2tf). Although, I've been using the most recent nightly for the last month or two and have had no problems. The most recent weekly has incorporated the fingerprint scanner into it.
If I have gotten any of the above info. incorrect, please feel free to correct me anyone.
thanks for the very thorough summary.
wow thank you very much! you have cleared all my doubts and even questions that I wanted to post later lol
This helped clear up a bunch of confusion for me - thank you

I saw there are cm7 roms in the development forum for atrix, but in cm site the atrix is not on the list of "devices".
checked the nightly build last one was november.
does this mean cm in the forum which supports atrix, is not official one?

It is officially part of CM tree, officially supported as in just the development. No "Final" or "Stable" version that has everything working, therefore it is not on the official page. But that will come in time.
You guys are aware right that Erik Hardesty a.k.a. dalingrin is wokring on ICS for touchpad and has promised (citation needed) to deliver before CM9? Now, I want to know if he indeed delivers, then will his work to taken to make the CM9 build faster and then will he be included in the official CM team. I am asking this because I have a Moto Defy and before CM7, Quarx, Epsylon and others compiled it and I think they are now in the CM team. Just curious on how it works.
He is already a part of the CM team, he is the CM maintainer for the Nook Color.
That's news.. well for me! But if there is someone else in his place who is ot in the CM team then what happens?

Then its not a CM9 build. Basically the CM team are a bunch of developers on different devices. In the case of ICS each developer will build their versions and it will be pushed and integrated into the CM9 list when CM9 is ready to launch. However, in the case where a CM team member's build is ready to be tested before CM9 is ready then they will most likely post them as a under a different title because its not integrated as a CM9 device yet.
In the case that another developer releases an AOSP ROM into the wild then he can do whatever he wants with it and it has nothing to do with the Cyanogenmod team whatsoever.

@iamsamsamiam: I get your point but if that is the case then how come Quarx and Epsylon (for Motorola Defy) are in the official CM team now (I think they are [citation needed!]). If you are not aware, CM7 had no love for Defy for a very long time and that gap was filled by Quarx at first. Afterwards, when we had a almost complete working rom based on CM7, these devs were included in the official list. I just want to know is this how it happens?

And there are still a ton of devices out there without any Cyanogenmod ROM at all. I guess its more like a developer who wants to code for a particular device and wants to put a CM flavour to the ROM and gets permissions from the CM team to use it and builds a CM ROM and I guess they would become part of the team as a de facto point since they continue to support their build. Remember there are a ton of other ROM developers out there that don't use a CM base and does things their own way.
Cyanogenmod isn't always going to be the "best" ROM out there for every device, but they're trying to support many devices out there. The devices that get support are reflected upon the community and the more popular the phone the larger the community. And developers come out of said communities and maybe one of those developers wants to make it into a CM build.

That made sense!
Anyone know what is different between CM9 nightlies and CM tenderloin ROM ?
Note: still waiting for TP Mic working with ICS !
Dont quote me on it...
But tenderloin is the name of kernel source for HP Touchpad...so every rom will have that word in it as everyone is using CM's kernel....
Difference between nightly and the rom is that....devs picks small fixes and stuff from many palces and includes them in the nightlies...when bunch of nightlies reaches a point where they make difference..they are converted into the next release of the rom...
All of these ROMs are based off of Ice Cream Sandwich. Each developer(s) put their own stuff on it though. For instance, I am using the AOKP ROM and it has a lot more customization options than CM9. Other than that, they are pretty much the same.
Nightlies are releases usually every night, and contain small fixes that were worked on that day. However, there can also be many more bugs than stable (alpha/beta) releases.
Sorry for the noob question.
Whats the difference between the following on the cyanogenmod download site
Nightly Cooper 02.09.12
RC1 Cooper
RC3 Cooper
Stable
I thought our device wasn't supported anymore but the nightly cooper is dates 02.09.12 ?
Thank you.
at first i was like: lets post a picard and riker double facepalm
but the i was like: no OT here. give serious answer!
the stable release is -very the suprising- the release labeled with "STABLE"! here afaik (used till 2 weeks ago) everything works fine.
the RCs are just "better betas". most of it works but sometimes it could be a bit buggy
and nightlys are either the first development steps/milestones or -like in this case, where there are nightlies newer than STABLE- they are just created by a bot every sunday. they are automated builds and sometimes contain new things. but as coolya said, there is nothing left to do on CM72 for ace.
tl:dr: dont care about the nightlies. use stable if you want a stable system for everyday use, where everything works without any problems!
No, Stable has some known bugs such as not able to answer call with earphones , the newer Nightly versions have solved that.
But true, seems like Coolya has given up our device and there is no new development for Cooper....
And btw, this is not the right section ,poat these kind of questions to Q & A plz

What does it take for a ROM to move from unofficial to official or is that not how it works? For example, I run cm11 official because its official. I would like to run cm12 but it says unofficial.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.. But... Unofficial is usually when someone compiles the build themselves and share. They sometimes add commits that have not been merged into official builds. Sometimes add add-ons that may not be supported in official builds. Sometimes a dev team may not have a maintainer for a specific official build. Most times unofficial builds aren't always as dependant as official. Sometimes they can be better.
As for CM 12. It went official last night. They are nightly builds, but they are official now. The thread is in the original development section. You can go to the CM site and it shows all the official 11 builds and then starting with 1/6 it is now on official 12 nightly. Hope that helps. ?
Just to clarify. The official CM11 thread is where to go for more info right now. Sure they will probably start a new one soon, but the link still takes you to CM and the latest build is the CM 12 from today 1/6. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=vs985&type=nightly
