Please explain the process. Thanks guys

Nightlies are ROMs that are compiled each night at a specified time using an automated server. The incremental alphas are ROMs that are compiled at a specified time and often become out dated. The developers then release a new version of the ROM.
Basically, Nightlies include the latest and greatest features, along with any fixes that might have been found during the day. This comes at the cost of stabillity though, as whatever code is merged with the main code is added to the nightly builds, whether stable and tested or not.
Incremental builds on the other hand are tested repeatedly and are much more stable.
So its really a matter of:
Latest features/fixes vs. Stabillity

When camera and mic are fixed, I'm guessing it'll be a pretty big release soon thereafter.
If you want reliable and stable...stick with official.

i dont suppose you know how things are going with camera and mic? is it a given that we will get a cm9 beta? i know the guys do this for free so i dont want to assume they will do it.

I'm sorry to say that I don't know any more than you...
But if you really want to find out more, Dalingrin (one of the devs working on the project) has a Twitter account and is fairly active on google+ as well. I'm sure when there's progress made, those feeds will hear about it immediately.
Last I heard was a couple of months back, when he (or one of his cohorts) had said that they weren't focusing on camera and mic, because they had other priorities (or something like that). But that was before they got hardware acceleration working, so it could be that they've shifted their focus by now... or not (no idea).
Dalingrin stated that with official nightlys rolling out there will be no Alphas anymore.

I just flashed the most recent nightly. I've been on alpha 2 for awhile so I am curious what significant changes have been made off the top of your head
Bluetooth/Sync
I'm waiting for the fix for the Bluetooth/Splashtop audio syncing issues. When you are watching videos from Netflix etc, (with bluetooth speaker) the sound is out of sync with the video.
If anyone knows of a third party app or workaround, it would be appreciated.
Till then, I'm sticking with CM7
Profiles?

I am curious, too. CM9 Alpha 2 does most things that I need, but I could use profiles. Is that feature enabled in the Nightly Builds? Otherwise I am very happy with Alpha 2 - it is certainly a step up from CM7.
It may just be in my head, but the UI performance seems better in the nightlies than it does on A2. In my case, scrolling in tapatalk is where the biggest difference seems to show up.

So far I have noticed that the nightly has made my wifi a bit spotty compared to alpha2 but it might have just been the different router.. seems to work fine now that I'm home.

If it worked in gb even if it was not that good, surely it could be made to work in ics.

Mic and camera are at the bottom of the pile of things to do, getting an OS that was never designed for the TouchPad is no easy thing, drivers and wrappers have to be written from scratch with no support from HP. So have faith in the developers, remember most of them are either at full time work or school/college and are offering you there work for free, maybe you could ask HP to fix the camera and mic I think they would abandon that idea faster than they abandoned the TouchPad itself.

Exactly what BIGSimon said. CM9 is still ALPHA. Meaning some things will not work. Not everything that is released is perfect right away. Developing ROMs isn't always an easy task. What they have done in 5 months is pretty damn great.
yeah i know that. but i seem to recall that it at least halfway worked with cm7. plus, in a short time android will have another os version, jellybean or something. and then what? will cm9 be abandoned and work start with that one? and once again, the camera and mic will be pushed back down to the bottom of the list in order to work on more essential things? seems like a endless cycle

There's a big difference between Android 2.3.7 gingerbread and Android 4.0.4 ice cream sandwich which meant everything had to be re-written to work Android 5 jelly bean is more of an evolution of ICS so drivers will carry over, all the work that's been done now will mean that when JB is released the touchpad will get it a lot faster with everything working

JellyBean will be a minor update, it will have a version 4.1, it isn't as huge step as going from 2.3 to 4.0.
Anyway, sound is surely being worked on (developers (partially, maybe) have gotten rid of bad screen-off sound issue last week), and we will see some progress in a time. If you want a tablet with all features working out-of-the-box, i guess, you should buy another device.
The latest audiolibs seems to be working great. Too bad S-Voice is having connection problems. Anyone know how to resolve the server issues in S-Voice?

Dear developers,
please concentrate more on CM7 than on CM9 (or CM10).
We never will get openmax codecs for CM9/CM10 and so these ROMs will always be far from perfect.
Please make a perfect CM7 without (minor) bugs and with a polished GUI.
Cyanogenmod discontinues developing CM9 but keeps CM7 for older devices (like ours). So please do the same especially for the P500 CM7-Version.
regards
The latest build is cm7.2.0. Its a stable build..how much more stable can you get...and never say never about the codecs for cm9

You don't care of minor bugs doesn't mean it's stable.
Stable = No bugs at all. People here should learn this. Even when lupohirp released the very first CM 9 ROMs, people said that they were stable just because they don't use some (even important) features and other things. It's not correct.

absolutely correct!
many people don´t care if there are some gps-wakelocks or if notificationbar icons look grainy or volume in call is too loud after reboot and must be set to max. and min afterwards to get it lower... and so on.. (there are a lot of minor things...).
that´s ok - but that´s not stable!
PS: it´s "easy" to make a somehow running rom - but it´s difficult to make a perfect stable ROM.
And that´s the difference between a ROM from Apple, Microsoft or Google to homebrew ROMs like CM.
CM is for free but for away from "stable" like iOS or Windows Phone.
I recently had a reboot on incoming call on CM7.2, this is the worst BUG I have ever seen. I don't care how super/beautiful/cool/blazing a ROM is if I get reboot on incoming call, even if its 1 in 1000. The problem with us is that we don't have dedicated device maintainer at CM, nobody cares if our device has bugs/issues. At least thats how it appears to be.
That is more likely a very rare occurrence..for as long as I've used cyanogenmod roms. I've never had a reboot on incoming bugs..most reboots happened with themed kitchen work heavily scripted cm7 roms. That or I got a reboot from kernel panics

With that logic not even the stock ROM is stable, there always be bugs even if they are so small, so yeah i think cm7 is daily use stable (been using it since nightly 10 with my kernel).

I would say there is no real speed improvement, only benchmark-wise. I tried that on my kernel and it did nothing, so I just used back the old toolchain for stability purposes.

Ok but you know, iOS and WP are not free that's why there are people getting payed for making it and cm is made just as a hobby on peoples free time, also I'm guessing but I'll say you didn't even donate to cm team for the software that you are using on your phone.
About the bugs I'm only getting the first one and the solution is to keep gps enabled all the time, that way it only consumes battery only if you use it, and the last "bug" is ridiculous, if you are skilled enough to flash your phone then you can change an icon *sigh*

yes as i said before that i know that CM7 is a free software. i also know that WP and iOS aren´t free, but they are more polished (more stable, cleaner GUI,..).
a free software also could be as stable and polished like iOS and WP - if developers want to do it.
Most android-developers just want to get a software to run on our device - regardless wheather there are some bugs or not.
And they say it´s stable and without bugs far too soon.
And that´s my point. It would be great if someone could build a very clean and very stable version of CM7 (LG released the Gingerbread sourcecode - so there shouldn´t be openmax-problems or something else we suffer on CM9).
And workarounds like:
just don´t turn off GPS or change icon for yourself are exactly that what i mean.
I don´t like to change the icon every time a new update comes out.
I don´t like to have GPS on the whole time. I wanna have it under control when an app can acces my location.
But i think CM7 will always stay like it is - cause most of P500 developers are thinking like you....

Sorry, I have to differ with you on this. Being free doesn't mean that it has to be buggy. Secondly donating them won't make them work harder for a stable P500 ROM.
The problem is that they have put P500 in the list of supported devices but I see no support regarding squashing remaining bugs which is annoying.
Any ways I respect freedom of speech/thought.
How stable is it currently overall? I sometimes use Google+ hangouts which requires streaming video. Is this still broken? How is 4g/3g stability?
Video streaming is still broken, and bluetooth calling still broken. Otherwise, it's solid as it can be for me. Been running it exclusively for over a week and have no plans on going back.

To be honest, it's not really something that you will be able to know without flashing CM9 on your own device. See if it works for you. We have some very talented devs that take a lot of time to make these things. The least you can do is give it a shot, and if it's not for you, then it's really easy to nandroid back to where you are.

Hi,
I find the posted threads confusing. I'm looking to flash ICS on my dad's Atrix 4G as he needs it for an app he considers crucial . Unlike me, he isn't very interested in experimenting with any exciting ROMs; he needs his phone to function: on and off, sleep, text, call, bluetooth, browser, camera, maybe music, without issue.
Fingerprint reader is not critical.
Is there a ROM that is quite stable in all these areas? Posts seem to say yes, but they also seem to say that stable ICS/JB is not possible because of kernel issues.
What's the bottom line?? Please advise me.
Stable ICS? No such thing. Been said countless times already. I don't see what is so confusing about that. Despite enthusiastic feedback from people, no ICS/JB is actually stable enough for day-to-day usage. That's why pretty much all of them get quite frequent updates.
Does the app in question not work on GB?

It doesn't, no. Unless there's a way to have ICS runtime environment or st but that sounds impossible
And the confusion stems from claims like "..stable enough for a daily rom!" in comments I keep finding in specific ICS ROM threads. I'm sure that's the enthusiasm you're talking about lol.
I've been using epinter's jb 4.1.2 for months. video cam & fingerprint not working. everything else, including photo-cam, works. and let me tell my experience and you decide:
in normal use, the battery can last 2 days. and seldomly, kernel seems to wake the device, causing battery drain. problem ends after a reboot.
I call it a stable enough daily rom. but it'll be your decision.

As the dev team threads have said, the ICS/JB kernel alpha release is immenint. It may be an alpha, but it may give you the results you're looking for if combo'd with an ICS or higher ROM. Current ROMs are stable to a point without the dev'd kernel. While i recommend waiting for a beta to be released, you're more than welcome to test out the alpha once its released while keeping the usual advisory warnings in mind. If you don't want to wait for the alpha, feel free to try one of the ICS ROMs, but be warned, camera issues and battery life issues are major areas to watch out for. These issues may be fixed by the dev'd kernel.
Personally i've been using Atrics v2.0 and epinter's CM 10.1. Both are good.

The video cam, fingerprint, & force-wake are literally the only issues? Or just the most frequent ones? Bc that'd be awesome but if e.g. the phone part sometimes wont open or the text messaging force closes or similar issues exist then it may be a dealbreaker for him.

Same question re epinters; additionally, re the kernel - would that simply reduce the problems associated with the ICS/JB roms or introduce its own set of issues?

I don't have any experience with Epinter's CM10, but from what i just read, comparing it to 10.1, it has the same issues. I haven't had any issues with messaging via ROM messaging app or via Go SMS. The kernel is supposed to solve the problems. However, battery life seems to still be an issue from what I've been reading. They disabled the camera for testing on the battery issue at the moment. At the moment, CM9, 10, and 10.1 all are running on variations of the GB kernel. While it was tweaked enough to make each ROM stable, the full potential won't be reached until the new kernel is implemented
The CM ROMs, in my opinion, are stable enough for daily use. Its up to you which ROM you want to use. As far as the kernel goes, I'll be trying out the alpha once its released, but it would be wiser to wait on the beta.

The kernel is supposed to solve the problems. However, battery life seems to still be an issue from what I've been reading. They disabled the camera for testing on the battery issue at the moment. At the moment, CM9, 10, and 10.1 all are running on variations of the GB kernel. While it was tweaked enough to make each ROM stable, the full potential won't be reached until the new kernel is implemented
The CM ROMs, in my opinion, are stable enough for daily use. Its up to you which ROM you want to use. As far as the kernel goes, I'll be trying out the alpha once its released, but it would be wiser to wait on the beta.

I agree with u man, Epinter's CM10 is great ROM and I had more issues with stock GB ROM than this. If u don't need video camera and fingerprint reader I recommend it to use CM10.

The video cam, fingerprint, & force-wake are literally the only issues? Or just the most frequent ones? Bc that'd be awesome but if e.g. the phone part sometimes wont open or the text messaging force closes or similar issues exist then it may be a dealbreaker for him.

I have enough experience to say that these are literally the only issues i've had.
sms or phone or connection has never force-closed for me.
you might give it a try. it doesnt take so long to try and revert back.

This is true, just remember to make a nandroid backup (webtop optional) prior to testing out any non stock ROM.
With my setup, i've got backups of 2.3.6's 141 and 145, 4.0.4, and 4.2.1, and if i'm doing a straight restore from one to another, roughly 20-30 mins until i'm back up and running.

Requirements
You need to be on the new partition layout, have S-OFF, and have Captain_Throwback's TWRP recovery.
Installing
Download the ROM.
Download GAPPS if you want them (make sure they are for the right version of Android).
Boot into recovery.
Wipe system and data.
Install the ROM.
If you wanted GAPPS install them.

Bugs
The notification sound will not change. This may also apply to the ringtone.
As far as I know everything else seems to work. I don't have service on this phone so for data and phone calls and such I cannot say. If anything else doesn't work let me know.

Why did you put this under the other CM 12 Unofficial thread? That really should be what you do, or we'll have duplication of discussion. He does have a place in post 2 reserved for partner builds.

Initially he did exactly that. Then a one of the mods deleted half a dozen posts. Take a look at the mods post in the other thread.
Since the other poster moved on, it's probably best anyway. That way he can update the build dates.
ok, so my brother has a flakey 4g lte. I tried to refresh his phone to stock and he still seems to have some issues.
I would like to throw a custom build on there and I think this would be a great one. He has never been rooted, has taken all the latest OTAs, etc and is S-ON. So... what the best S-OFF to use for the latest firmware one? I am guessing rumrunner? Then from there, TWRP recovery I see is required, but it also says use the new partition layout. Is that the F2FS?
Also, does this rom come with the easy CM updater? Or are they all manual for now?
Thanks.

Is the bootloader unlocked? If not, that's what needs to be done prior to getting S-Off.
Rumrunner should work just fine.
You really need to read and follow the instructions in this thread

Captain Throwback has done some amazing work and has significantly extended the useful life of our devices. You'll need to use his TWRP too. Nothing else will work.
Hope this helps.
New build.
New build. Sorry it took a while, I was having trouble getting it to build and I just ended up downloading the sources fresh. I'm going to be RMAing my motherboard after Christmas because it currently works with only a single stick of RAM, so it will be a little bit for more builds. I'll be sure to put a new one out before I do though.

Has anyone noticed that focus no longer works in any camera app with the update to 5.0.2? This seems to be present across all 5.0.2 ROM's.

I've tried all the current ROM's, AICP, BlissPop, CM, SlimLP, and LiquidSmooth LP and this issue is present in all ROM's so I'm guessing it goes further than just the CM tree.

Ok, thanks. I'll add these to the op.
Christmas present for you guys.
I'm curious if anyone is using this (or any) cm12 rom on an Activated htc evo 4g lte sprint phone. I ask because I have a couple of these phones that are not activated I give my kids to play with. My wife has this phone also and I'm thinning about installing this on her phone but wanted to know if I should expect any issues with data or GPS. We travel allot so a concern is the ability to quickly transition from 3g to 4g back to 3g. With a "stock based" rom it has no problem but I noticed with cm11 it had issues keeping data

You Sir are a CHAMP!
Do you know are the "post-22nd" bugs mentioned in the op still there? I know you're not doing dev on this yourself, just curious if anyone has noted upstream fixes and this thread is pretty quiet.
Wanting to take it for another spin but with small kids and holidays my camera is getting a workout. If not I'll fire it up here in a day or two, check for myself, and report back
Thanks a ton for keeping this going. I'm squeezing every last mile out of this phone as my family is between homes at the moment so I'm squirreling away every dollar I can.

Still doing it on my phone. I'll probably do a new build when I go to bed.
EDIT: Now I'm not an expert at this but this looks like it should fix it, so I guess in the morning I'll find out, I'll be sure to change the OP if it does.
