Is the OG Atrix ever going to get an official CM9 release candidate or nightly? I've noticed the CM Team has released RC1 for many phones, and the Atrix was not on the list. I just want to know if I will ever get my hands on an official CM9 build instead of having to use a port. Thanks for the help.
Theres gonna be fire. Get a glass of water.....
Pardon? I did not ask for an ETA. I simply asked if we were ever going to get it.

The Atrix will likely not get an official CM9 build until/unless ICS for the Atrix (containing the necessary binary drivers, which are proprietary) is released. The unofficial ports have to make do without them, cannibalizing code and parts from other phones in order to make it work, which is why they still have stability issues (though they do work most of the time). When ICS is released (yes, I said when; unlike others, I have faith that it will be), we'll likely see a flurry of CM9 development from the Atrix Dev Team.
OK cool. I've read that it's gonna be Q3. Which is sometime between now and September, correct?

Most likely September or November
cm9 update
I recently flashed my first rom with cm9 6.0.9.1. I am very pleased with the look, feel and functionality of this ROM. Congrats to jokersax and all who had a hand in this. As I am new at this I have one question. If I try to upgrade to 0.7.0.0 will I need to wipe or can I just flash it. I installed the gapps separately and did not wipe and it worked fine. I do remember reading somewhere during my search for knowledge on this subject that for small updates you don't need to wipe. Not sure how reliable tha info is. Just want to make sure before I end up with a paper weight.
Next Tuesday

@andrew.cambridge The official release of CM9 for atrix is coming this Tuesday?

The rule of CM7 is you don't pester people about CM7 releases and updates. So they'll release it when they feel it's ready.

To answer your question though, the Atrix CM dev team is hard at work (like, realllly hard) and CM7 for the Atrix is currently in Alpha mode, with the team and some select testers working to find and fix the bugs. It's been in Alpha for about a week now I think, and as I've followed their progress a lot of the really big issues have been ironed out (they have cell service now, which was the big one). Soon, perhaps in a couple days to maybe a week or so (can't guarantee), a beta will be out. Not perfect, but out for release! Soon after that, full and virtually bugless versions will be out, and HOPEFULLY they are allowed to do nightlies as the official CM7 team for the Atrix.
I can't understand that why there are no
offical CM9.
Anyone knows reason?
Please give the reason that why there are

The Atrix Dev Team has not released an official CM9 because ICS for the Atrix has not been released, hence there are no Atrix-specific drivers available to use. The unofficial CM9 ports (I hate that stupid term "kang") are Frankenstein monsters cobbled together from the current CM9 sources, with some code and drivers from other phones (and maybe even some CM7 code) thrown into the mix. Even though they do work, there are still problems and performance issues, which is to be expected from a cobbled-together ROM. Basically, nothing can happen until ICS for the Atrix is released, which will provide the necessary drivers and resources for an official CM9 port to happen.

I would safely assume this would help us reach nearly the full benefit of running ICS and possibly JB..

I personally don't think jumping from CM7 to CM9 to CM10 (JB) is the right way to go about things. DZK is doing it right though IMO. He got CM7 stable enough again, IMO; To move on to CM9. He's been working hard and made what 5 Alphas and now on a Beta? (Don't know much anymore as I am on AT&T Atrix 2 now) But thats dedication and loyalty to the X2 for sure. I know he mentioned of a CM10 and JB but I as well as other and I'm pretty sure DZK mentioned, it will be awhile before it's stable enough to release. Now the Kexecis where it's at...if he can crack that, I may personally have to come and dust the X2 off as I have for the Paranoid Port and AOKP port as well as the Beta CM9. With everything else going on, again my opinion would be to keep anticipating JB and hope everything else gets worked on first to grasp stability on these great ROMs that have already been pushed out. Just my $0.02 on the Topic.

I agree with you. I think we need kexec working first. We are already running ICS on a Gingerbread kernel which isn't ideal, but it works. Running Jelly Bean on a Gingerbread kernel might be worse. But this is all in theory, obviously. Who knows, it could be super smooth. But with kexec working on the DX2, its guaranteed to work right. I really hope dragonzkiller can get it working. Especially before I upgrade to something else. It would be a shame if he got it working after everyone has moved on.
I agree I'd much rather get kexec working and have a fully functional CM9 than a half baked, unstable CM10 due to our locked bootloaders and no work-around(kexec).
Sent from my Stock Rooted DROID X2
Well here's to hoping that the kexec gets sorted out so we can keep up with those higher end phones.

The kernel included with 4.1.2 AOKP by th3bill has nearly the same features (except video recording, since we can't use atrix drivers).
I am watching that thread everyday as well. I hope th3bill is actually able and willing to do something about it once the kernel reaches a stable state.

Not so fast. The kernel is known as Alpha Release Candidate 1 (Alpha-RC1). It has only been released from the devs to a select few testers. An official public release has NOT happened.

The Photon and Atrix seem to be extremely similar hardware-wise... what changes would need to be made to the Atrix 3.1 kernel source to make this functional for Photon? From what I can tell, the camera, fingerprint scanner, and radio are the differences...

Krystian has already stated that he will work on porting the atrix kernel over to the photon once it is stable enough

Hi guys,
I wanted to do that later but it looks like it will take me some more time to finish Olympus kernel. So I decided to start port for Photon. Since I don't own Photon device, I need couple of volunteers who are willing to break their phones. Also I would need someone who would manage bug tracking and possible hardware differences. I can barely track what's going on Atrix threads, so I need someone as a proxy, who would report me how the things are going. I'm looking for someone who can be considered at least advanced user with a lot of spare time. Also regarding potential testers, I'm sure there are different Photon revisions, so it would be the best if there was a one tester for each rev.
Regards,
Krystian

Hi guys, I just got photon second hand and have been doing a lot of reading to find out what the best thing I can do with it is.

I am using CyanogenMod's cm-10.2-20130814-NIGHTLY-quincyatt on my Note and I am wondering why it was the only 10.2 nightly offered? There seems to be continued development and releases of the 10.1 series of ROM's. What have I missed here? I runs pretty good on my phone I have some issues with the screen coming on from sleeping or just being turned off (the screen not the phone) and some occasional random reboots. I am excited to see the 10.2 line progress but I guess I'm just confused as to why there was only one nightly released and the 10.1's continue. Anyone have any thoughts or insight? Thanks.

I have been curious about that too. Never seen that before out of CM, however, I have a Nexus 7 3G, and there is no 4.3 CM for it either, so don't feel left out.
I think nightly roms are experimental where they update an issue or a problem gets fix after they get a log cat...they are not official as of yet.I think that's what they mean by nightly...if u try the new pacman 4.3 that one says OFFICIAL..im a tmo user so I can't flash it yet...hopefully a dev can get us a 4.3 official rom on my end.... Hope what I wrote helps...

I'm running the 10.2 nightly from 8/14 as well, and have been pretty happy with it (HUGE thanks to the developers, so much better than the crap stock ROM I was running, which Samsung/AT&T only updated once over a year ago). This one is 4.3, which is very nice, and pretty much the same as the CM 10.2 (JB 4.3) I'm running on my ASUS TF700T tablet. But, I was also curious about if/when any new nightlies might be released in this 10.2 line. I'm not complaining at all, just curious, since there are a few buggy things (mainly what was mentioned by the OP, often doesn't wake up on first try, and some random reboots).

Ok, that makes sense, it is a pretty old device. I'm glad they put out the 10.2 build first though, since it is working pretty well with the exception of a few minor issues (at least for me).

No.
A nightly can be anything from bug fixes to adding in a completely new feature to try. Once those get worked out it moves up the release stability chain.
Official means whatever build, nightly, release candidate, stable release was compiled by a member of the dev team.
Unofficial is someone taking their (whatever Rom dev team it may be) git source and compiling a build themselves.

Thanks. I guess I wanted to stick to what I could get "officially" via the CM site, but maybe I'll check these out.
That's understandable.
The builds are identical though using the same github source that the cm build servers do.
You can set it up yourself and build too. The instructions are in the cm wiki for quincyatt.
