Okay so while everyone is looking out for Cyanogenmod 9, I'm still wondering about CM7...
Simple question, if there is already a stable build, what are the purpose of the Nightly builds? In the link http://www.cyanogenmod.com/devices/samsung-galaxy-s2 you can select between, Stable, Experimental and Nightly builds. Why would one choose a Nightly build over the Stable build?
Because a nightly is the latest version of the rom. But it is likely to have more bugs then the stable.
For our device there is no CM build labeled as stable. But the nightly builds are stable for daily use.
Can you still follow me? It's just how the rom is labeled.

That's not entirely true, there is a build labeled "stable", here.
However, it's an old build, and you would be better off using a more recent build. I would go as far as recommending a kang build, because the latest nightly is also old. There will be no more nighties for CM7, because CM9 should arrive... in the near future.
The latest semi-official kang, built by codeworkx, is here.
I'm using Novek's build without problems (it contains more recent commits than codeworkx's), which you can download here.
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.
I saw today that the CM website has a nightly build of CM11 available for the Inc4g now. It's the first nightly build they have posted as far as I can tell. I don't know if it's different than the unofficial CM11 build posted on the development forum so I don't know if it requires any special recovery version like the unofficial build did. I'm also assuming it uses the same gapps version as the unofficial build does.
Just thought i'd mention it for anyone interested.
Starship Kernel is being developed in conjunction with the not yet posted Starship Rom. Like I had done with the KK incarnation of the Starship Rom I am also posting the Kernel separately for anyone who may not like the Rom's Theme. Though unlikely as that may sound because I have spent much time and effort with the Kernel am posting the Kernel separately so it can be used with other Roms and not just Starship.
If you are looking for new features to play with this will not be the Kernel for you. It is designed to improve the overall experience as if it was not there. At this point and probably never you wont find over clocking or voltage controls to play with but rather just a more efficient overall experience.
Each Kernel Download section contains a link to the commit list for both the purpose of following rules about posting links to Kernel Sources as well as serving as a change log. You will find in the main branch all Linux Kernel Increment Updates are grouped into one commit. This is to easily distinguish what commits have been made as part of the Linux Kernel Increment Updates from other additions/optimizations that are not part of the Linux Version Updates. You can find descriptions of each change made as part of the Increment Updates in the staging branch. In other words the second link below the download links will give a description off the changes made in the Linux Version Updates .

AOSP/Stock (Android Version 5.1.1)
AOSP/Stock Kernel is compiles using Google's GCC 4.8 toolchain and tested tested on the Stock 5.1.1 Rom as well as AOSP compiled Rom using unmodified pure 5.1.1 Source code. The Kernel may or may not work on custom Roms based on 5.1.1 depending on what changes have been made by the Roms developer and how far the Rom has strayed from the original source code. In most cases if the Rom is AOSP based the Kernel will work but provide no guarantee as am not testing with every ROM available. If you do find a Rom the Kernel does not work with feel free to comment but please include what Kernel was used that did not work as I may be able to shed light on reasons why and provide a workaround if possible. Most of incompatibility will find that the Kernel is not the issue rather what is included inside the boot.img like Ramdisk iinit.rc files that set permissions and create the Rom file-system.

CM-12.1
CM-12.1 Kernels may be updated more frequently without posting a new date so don’t be surprised to see multiple release number increments. In most cases there has been no change in the Kernel itself but update frequently as development is fast moving. Because of this some of the files that get packaged into the boot.img along with the Kernel may change and cause issues. Because of this will update as frequently as I can to insure everything packaged into the boot.img is up to date.

I am not responsible for any effect using the downloads from this forum my have on any device and you download and use at your own risk.
Just decided to include the CM-11 Kernel for anyone who may be using CM-11. Is a nice Kernel and gave me an extra hour or two battery so recompiling with a few new commits I have been using in both CM-12 & AOSP. Will post in a few. Checking nothing else may have changed on the CM side with the rest of the boot.img and will post in a bit.
I will try out the AOSP kernel tonight or tomorrow, we are under blizzard conditions right now and can't mess with phone because of work (boss & I texting back and fourth)
Thanks for your work

Sorry about this then but have uploaded an update. I had intended on holding off until reaching Linux version 3.4.40 as it is the version I had left off with for Kit-Kat and have just been modifying each version increment patch from the Kit-Kat 3.4 Kernel for Lollipop. Anyhow last night before bed had used my Bluetooth Headset with the current version and sounded like I had gone out and bought a brand new higher end set so decided to post the update now. Found in the past Android can have a completely different experience when it comes to different BT devices like for example the same headset had become completely unusable on my N7 with constant skips and pauses on 4.4.4 after working beautifully on 4.4.3 so hope others can hear the same boost in overall audio quality including BT headsets.
Updated Kernels with a few new optimizations and 3.4.36 version update
Ok will try it
Can't download from devhost. Anyone else is having problema?

Looks to be up and running. Can try direct links though.
updated so links are no longer current.
Well it feels like with all the side track projects been talking Starship L long enogh maybe some of those who have sent PM's asking about the lollipop update are starting to become doubters so decided to post up a few screen shots. Was going to finish a few things then go over the theme image by image and color by color but think instead after finishing up a few things will post and then start going over each apk over again for touching up, fixing and adding missed optimizations including Kernel updating along the way. Once again not for everyone so haters can hate and I just keep doing it because its what I like doing.
Made new boot.img for Stock / AOSP 5.1.0 as old image used in 5.0 - 5.0.2 caused boot loops.
The MultiROM not work with this kernel? :-O

Honestly have been meaning but have not tried MultiROM. Looked over at the thread and see allot of mention about the boot.img and modifications. If I had to guess with the limited knowledge I have would say if not working is not so much the Kernel but the boot.img in the same way that both the Stock / AOSP zips posted are the same exact Kernel inside but changes made to files like the init.rc inside the 5.1.0 boot.img that creates the file system and sets permissions among a score of other things caused 5.1.0 from booting properly after updating and flashing the boot.img. As developers we use the name Kernel but there is much more inside than the actual Kernel. In some cases can be more than a dozen other scripts and other files inside. Will need to try and learn a bit about MultiROM. Out of curiosity was it Stock or CM giving you issues?
Little more reading and looks like not everyone including CM has updated to include new bootloader version checks to include new bootloader from the 5..1.0 update. So for example I needed to change the bootloader version in CM source or nightly builds will not flash in TWRP without errors.
Maybe an update on this if flashing CM version, seems latest CM12 is receiving errors flashing with some recovery versions and must be installed via adb / fastboot. Article was not specific on the reason but may be the cause.
Added updates to version 3.4.42 for both 5.1.0 and under. The 5.0.2 zip should work for all stock and AOSP Roms from 5.0 - 5.0.2. Because of changes in 5.1.0 boot.img 5.1.0 will not boot when used with a lower Android Version.
Slightly disappointed as today had planned on posting full Starship Rom but now updating for 5.1.0 so maybe another week maybe two
So any details on what this kernel does? Or is our just close to stock?
CM12 Kernel is on hold until 5.1.0 version update. No reason testing anything new until can confirm everything will still work next week. Also figures the same week I had planned on posting the full Starship Rom the 5.1.0 update hit so now am back in testing optimizing phase for a bit longer.
3.30.2015 update
Linux version has been updated to version 3.4.55
All MR1 changes added to the 5.1.0 AOSP Kernel have been merged into the Kernel

4.6.2015 update
Not much on the AOSP/Stock side. Wanted to post a cm12 update so decided to post the AOSP/Stock kernel earlier than I would normally with a few Linux version update patches. With that said updating the Kernel only takes a minute or so and not like asking to flash a new Rom. Kernels are easy and these days faster to flash than g-apps. Also used the 5.1.0_r3 source to compile the boot image for 5.1 instead of 5.1.0_r1 source I had been using. Honestly though did not check if anything changed that is packed into the boot.img along with the Kernel between r1 & r3 so may or may not make any difference what so ever.
Forgot, marked the cm-12.1 kernel as beta just because cm-12.1 is pretty much beta. Otherwise the Starship 12.1 Kernel is the Starship CM12 Kernel merged with the Cyanogen 12.1 Kernel . Not that the two had been far apart to start but the 12.1 CM Kernel merged into the Starship cm12 kernel clean as a whistle with 0 conflicts. Was pretty happy about that so going foreword will just be working on the 12.1 Kernel with the Starship cm-12 Kernel soon going the way of the 5.0 - 5.0.2 Stock/AOSP Starship Kernels.
Now finally since the actual Starship Rom I have been working on since the darn preview release ending as mostly caf based with CM-12.1 coming together can start updating from 5.0.2 into 5.1 as had just finished going over the first draft and was about to post when the 5.1 update hit. Otherwise wanted to post the first draft and then go over the entire Rom a second time looking over the theme images, features and optimizations with a magnifying glass.
Have updated both Stock / AOSP and cm-12.1 Kernels up to Linux 3.4.65 with a few other additions and weeding. Has and been running pretty sweet on both so far.
Stock / AOSP 3.4.65 Kernel boot.img has been compiled using the 5.1.1 AOSP Source and tested on both 5.1.0 & 5.1.1 with no issue and as mentioned above running pretty sweet.
I cant install on aicp 5.1.1

I just wanted to know if there is any flashable version of the latest security patches for any AOSP based roms? I'm currently running a CAF variant of Euphoria 1.1 on my OnePlus One and it has everything I need as far as features and I don't see any reason to upgrade to 6.0 yet. If anybody can point me in the right direction would be helpful. Even if I have to build my own version of the rom I'll do so as I do have some building experience (some, not alot).
Thanks
