What's the difference between an Official ROM and an Unofficial ROM? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I've seen ROMs like Paranoid Android who only have 5 or 6 official team members listed on their website and they only support nexus devices and the Opposed Find5.....but then I see ROMs that say "Official Paranoid Android" for the note 2 or w/e phone....
Does "official" mean that its compiled from source no matter who makes it and an unofficial ROM or Port is just that....unofficial?
I mean I've seen this for a lot of ROMs not just Paranoid

Official is compiled and maintained by a team member or maintainer from the group who developed the ROM in general.
Unofficial is compiled and maintained by whoever decided to build it

Official is better to go with if possible, as know when the source is updated and will push out updates since they're assigned to it. Unofficial just may be behind on updates but that's really it.

Your confusing the Release Type and the Build Type...
Hello Everyone!
I, personally, have always defined the differences of the different Firmware ROM's as follows:
RELEASE TYPES
OFFICIAL = From Original Development and signed off by one or more of the Original Developer(s).
UNOFFICIAL = A Development based upon the Original Development by a third party developer.[/B]
BUILD TYPES
EXPERIMENTAL = Typically an Experimental build is a tool used to aid in Migrating/Transitioning from an older Android version to a newer one.
NIGHTLY/WEEKLY = Are builds that's automated by software and are released on a daily/weekly basis (in most cases they are approximate timing). In Most (but, not All) cases there are no/little real human interaction in this. Typically an automated process for the release.
*** One example of the automated process is If you look at Open GApps... This is typically all automated with human interaction being little to none (the human interaction is usually on a case-by-case basis when the need calls for it).
SNAPSHOT = (aka STABLE) This is typically when an actual individual has reviewed and deemed that everything within it is considered "feature-complete" and "reliable". In most cases, these releases are considered being without bugs.
*** I specified "in most cases" because I've seen those releases with a missed issue/bug but, this doesn't happen very much at all (thankfully).
This is not a Dictionary definition and there's much much more to it.
I just did my best i could (via text) to simplify it to help any noob members...

Thanks for the information
Currently I'm using resurrection remix and they release official builds every week
I mean why is that. They rolled out weeklies for 3 out 4 weeks and then official builds and these officials are also published weekly. What is the difference in these builds

I can't speak for them (and I may be wrong) but, I believe that this is because of that "human interaction".
More than likely (i can't state definitely) an actual individual reviews and signs off on them before it's released.

Hello Guys.
I'm your i9100 device maintainer.
I meanwhile tweaked the Rom specially for the i9100 so its difference to our other devices is:
Compiled using SaberMod arm-eabi 4.7 (Kernel code) and SaberMod arm-linux-androideabi 4.8 (ROM code) toolchain compilers
Cross-compiled using those custom toolchains results in a more smoother, faster, and battery friendly ROM
F.A.Q.:
What is Toolchain?
In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.
A simple software development toolchain consists of a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system, and a debugger. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.

Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toolchain
What is SaberMod?
The term "SaberMod" is coming from:
SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124. Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.

About GCC main compiler cflags
-O1
Optimize. Optimizing compilation takes somewhat more time, and a lot more memory for a large function. With -O, the compiler tries to reduce code size and execution time, without performing any optimizations that take a great deal of compilation time.
-O2
Optimize even more. GCC performs nearly all supported optimizations that do not involve a space-speed tradeoff. As compared to -O, this option increases both compilation time and the performance of the generated code. -O2 turns on all optimization flags specified by -O.
-O3
Optimize yet more. -O3 turns on all optimizations specified by -O2 and also turns on the -finline-functions, -funswitch-loops, -fpredictive-commoning, -fgcse-after-reload, -ftree-loop-vectorize, -ftree-slp-vectorize, -fvect-cost-model, -ftree-partial-pre and -fipa-cp-clone options.
-Os
Optimize for size. -Os enables all -O2 optimizations that do not typically increase code size. It also performs further optimizations designed to reduce code size.

Will this rom contain the tweaks/things that Myself5 added to his unofficial build?
It seems like we're currently having some issues with our download page getting accessed by mobile browsers. Please use your computer to download until we fixed it.
@GreekBlood: All in all the most tweaks I made were coommits from gerrit, so sooner or later they will be included
http://carbon-rom.com/downloads/?device=i9100&type=nightly&country=BE
Here i can see the downloads perfectly and they also work.
And here is the latest nightly for our SII :> http://eu1.dl.carbon-rom.com/files/i9100/nightly/CARBON-KK-NIGHTLY-20140215-0148-i9100.zip
congrats myself5 on getting to be the maintainer for this great rom on our s2.
i think i will just dl from the official carbon page,and then just use the updater to get all the improvements and fixes moving forward!!
well first hour whit this rom.and everything seems good after all! just one question,how i can enable wheater widget in the lockscreen? i cant find an option..
also some translations are missing (in spanish) i can help if you want.
also another question Halo will be added on the future?
i flashed newest rom all good.kernel included is not compatible with stweaks.
I plan on flashing gustavo 2\09 kernel.
will nightly updates flash a another kernel each update??
thnx
A little problem
I have a little problem,when i try to install gapps it says that i have insufficient space. How would i fix that? I`m using PA-GOOGLE APPS (FULL MODULAR PACKAGE) .
And another question. Previous versions that were unofficial had TWRP, how could I get that back too?
@attack11 the Weather Widget is called cLock. HALO will be added it just has some small bugs ATM we need to fix. Thanks for your help, I will later PM you all files you need to translate.
@saskrider: It will flash a new Kernel every Update. However when you later (as soon as it's working) use CarbonDelta to update there will be a option to add Custom Zip's to flash after the Rom (like GApps and Custom Kernels)
@Pecka40: the S2's Sytem Partition is to small for these GApps, use some smaller ones

How to: Installation and Bug Reporting
Disclaimer (read it before installing the ROM for the first time):
Your warranty is now void.
I am not responsible for bricked devices, dead SD cards, thermonuclear war, or you getting fired because the alarm app failed.
Please do some research if you have any concerns about features included in this ROM before flashing it!
You are choosing to make these modifications, and if you point the finger at me for messing up your device, I will laugh.
Regarding the compatibility with mods or apps, these builds are as compatibile as official CyanogenMod nightly builds.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Installing CyanogenMod 13 on your Galaxy S II:
Copy CyanogenMod 13 zip and a light GApps package of your choosing to your Internal or External SD card;
Make sure you are not running a kernel with the MMC-Superbrick-Bug and you are using latest version of a MarshMallow compatible recovery;
Boot into recovery;
Flash CM 13 zip;
Flash GApps package;
If you're coming from another non-CyanogenMod ROM do a Data Wipe / Factory Reset (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot);
Reboot.
Posting Bug Reports (comply these requisites is mandatory, otherwise your report won't be considered):
Use the newly added Bug Reports tab;
I always test my builds before releasing them and use the latest build as daily ROM for my devices: do not claim it doesn't boot or it gives you force close loops (if this is your case it's either a corrupted download or your phone needs a full wipe);
Clearly state which build are you using (for reporting a bug it needs to be the latest);
Clearly state that you're using the kernel that comes with the build and not a modded one (if you're experiencing issues using a modded kernel, you should refer to the kernel's developer thread);
Clearly state which mods are you using (e.g. Xposed Framework): try to remove the mod and see if the bug is still there;
Clearly state which runtime are you using (e.g. Dalvik or ART); if you're using ART try to switch to Dalvik and see if the bug is still there;
In addition before posting bug reports, test if your bug is also present in the same day's official CyanogenMod nightly; if it is present there, wait until the CyanogenMod Team fixes it or report directly to them;
As a small courtesy, please don't report bugs that can easily be fixed with well known patches (e.g. CWM zips);
GApps related crashes should be reported to GApps package maintainer (at least at first).
F.A.Q (Frequently Asked Questions)
Uff, our device is slow and Screen Mirroring is laggy, can you fix this?
Nope, our device is old and OEM support lacks.
You shouldn't complain about the overall performance or about the performance of some specific features (e.g. Screen Mirroring through ChromeCast).
Your latest build isn't working at all, can you fix it?
I personally test every build before releasing it, so the device will always be usable.
If you experience weird issues or something that's a showstopper for you, you should consider switching to CyanogenMod's official builds, or to another ROM: your device or setup may be incompatible with my builds.
Where can I find CyanogenMod's official builds?
If you're looking for something common or some common infos, you should definitely use xda search engine or Google.
May you give me some informations about your builds?
All the infos about my builds (e.g. technical compilation infos, features and installation guide) are in the first three posts: you should definitely read them before posting.
I saw this cool feature on another ROM, can you include it in your builds?
Nope, sorry, I'm not taking Feature Requests (see that the correspondent tab is missing from OP): you should make Feature Requests to CyanogenMod Team in the ways you prefer.
In addition, you can look for some Xposed Module, maybe you'll find one that can add to my builds what you're looking for.
A new "SnapShot" build is out! When you'll compile a build based on it?
Never, sorry. My builds are compiled from the nightly branch. The "SnapShot" builds are compiled from a dedicated branch; "SnapShot" releases doesn't influence in any way my builds.
I need some technical explanation about the tools you're using, may you provide them?
What is Toolchain?
In software, a toolchain is the set of programming tools that are used to create a product (typically another computer program or system of programs). The tools may be used in a chain, so that the output of each tool becomes the input for the next, but the term is used widely to refer to any set of linked development tools.
A simple software development toolchain consists of a compiler and linker to transform the source code into an executable program, libraries to provide interfaces to the operating system, and a debugger. A complex product such as a video game needs tools for preparing sound effects, music, textures, 3-dimensional models, and animations, and further tools for combining these resources into the finished product.

What is SaberMod?
SaberMod is a AOSP based ROM with some extra features added in and mostly from CyanogenMod. SaberMod started out pure AOSP when android 4.2.1 launched. Originally it was pure AOSP with a few extra features I ported over from CyanogeMod and linaro optimizations. Then I rebased everything off of rasbeanjelly because I liked many features found in rasbean. Since then I've modified a lot of the code so not much of it is rasbeanjelly based anymore. But you will still find some commonly used features found in rasbeanjelly. SaberMod is not a rasbeanjelly or CM clone, or KANG. Custom kernels are included for certain devices when available. These are personal builds we make for ourselves and originally became very popular in the nexus 7 forums. Features are very rarely added, and are built to SaberMod's team members liking. Currently there are two members of SaberMod working on this project. Myself and @jarjar124. Please understand our time is limited and we are only two people who have lives, and do not have 25-50 members like CyanogenMod to add things. And our goal is not to add a bunch of features that bloat the system of the ROM.

Try replacing the Camera apk with this one, or the one extracted from latest official nightly
Next build should fix the issue, but this can be a good workaround

[REFERENCE] [OOS/CUSTOM] OnePlus 5T kernel source with linux-stable (4.4.162)

Introduction
Hello everyone, this is a thread to introduce both users and kernel developers to the concept of linux-stable as well as give developers some tips and a tree to either merge into their own, use as a base, or just as a reference. Feel free to ask questions and enjoy!
What is it?
linux-stable is, as the name implies, the stable branch of the Linux kernel, the base of Android. The phone could not run without the Linux kernel (at least not without reworking a lot of stuff). The Android kernels are based on the longterm stable trees:
Longterm
There are usually several "longterm maintenance" kernel releases provided for the purposes of backporting bugfixes for older kernel trees. Only important bugfixes are applied to such kernels and they don't usually see very frequent releases, especially for older trees.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Source: https://www.kernel.org/category/releases.html
All Linux development happens on the master branch, which is governed by Linus Torvalds. When issues are discovered there, the fixes are applied then backported to these various stable trees for consumption. It is not uncommon for a fix to need to go back a few years.
There is a LOT more information available in the notes repo in the android-linux-stable organization if you care to learn more in-depth: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/notes
What does this mean for me?
If you are a developer, this means you should be merging these changes into your own tree. These are vetted, stable fixes to real world problems and they are being handed out for free. It does not take long to get up to date (as you can just merge this tree directly into your own or do it yourself using the tree as a reference) and once you are up to date, there is usually a release once every two weeks, give or take. I provide a rebuttal to a lot of various complaints here. If you still feel like there is a good reason not to do this, please let me know, I'll be happy to try and debate on it!
If you are a user, it means that you should be looking for and using kernels that have these fixes, as it shows the developers care for your security and stability. The current version for this device is 4.4.78 on OOS and 4.4.100 on Lineage while the current version upstream is 4.4.162 so all you need to do is go into Settings > About phone and look at the kernel version to know if you are up to date.
How do I use?
If you are a developer, the reference tree is located in the android-linux-stable organization: https://github.com/android-linux-stable/op5
There are three branches, one for OxygenOS 8.0 stable, one for OyxgenOS 8.1 beta, and one for Lineage 15.1.
This can either be merged into your existing kernel tree if you have one or be used as a fresh base. You do not need my permission to use it nor do you need to give me credit (although it would be appreciated).
If you are a user, use a kernel that has the changes added in!
Getting notified about updates
There are a few ways to get notified of linux-stable updates:
The linux-kernel-announce mailing list: http://vger.kernel.org/vger-lists.html#linux-kernel-announce
The android-linux-stable Telegram channel: https://t.me/alsupdates
Subscribe to this thread
Follow me on Google+ or Twitter
Getting help
If you have any issues with getting these changes into your tree or want to ask a question, there are a few different ways to do it:
Post in this thread
Join the linux-stable support chat on Telegram: https://t.me/joinchat/C1UAJ1EMSX31PCFdwLnOSg
File an issue either in the android-linux-stable notes repo or the android-linux-stable repo for this device
When requesting help, please give some solid details as to what you are struggling with, as I am happy to provide assistant and clarity but not to do something for you (unless I screwed up).
The OP has been updated, including some more information for users as well as some more ways of getting help and notified of updates! Enjoy
Very Nice.!!! :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for everything Sir.
You really are techno-Jesus, here to teach the ways of kernel perfection. I love your work, dedication, and care for your kernel users. Flash4lyfe.
Yes, please flame me for being a fanboy. You can never show enough appreciation for our beloved xda developers (especially the ones that don't treat users like ****).
Many thanks for your work and initiative @nathanchance :good: appreciated :highfive:
Currently giving a try to make a kernel version based from linux .116 of your op5 branch and looks like I have the following error :
Code:
fs/f2fs/f2fs.h:136:20: error: static declaration of 'inode_nohighmem' follows non-static declaration
Any idea ? I was thinking of a "KBUILD_CFLAGS" addition into Makefile (or something like that), but I'm probably wrong I guess.
FYI I'm using stock 4.9 android google toolchain

Wow I am so sorry about that, I must not have built 4.4.116 I removed all of the upstream f2fs code in my own kernel tree so I didn't encounter this error. I have pushed the fix that popped up in kernel/common, should be able to pull and build successfully now :good: :highfive:

That is the zImage (you'll actually want to use Image.gz-dtb), you can just add it to the AnyKernel2 zip as is, the backend handles that name.

The only very minor issue I've had is that in the "About phone" part, if i touch "System updates" then the settings app closes. There aren't any updates, so no real reason to touch that, but it's something I've noticed.

Official Invictrix is here!
Official OTA builds have begun as of this week. The first can be downloaded HERE.
I've updated the OP with new links to the Invictrix OTA page and recommended GApps packages from GZR (pico gapps) and Beans (nano gapps), as well as a link to NanoDroid's microG implementation by @Setialpha if you prefer to go without Google.
Happy flashing!

Check the kernel source link in the OP. Wireguard-related commits are in there. iirc, it pulls the latest version via http when the build is started, so it should always be up to date.
Has anyone tried dirty flashing this over Omni?
