Welcome to an experiment... members only AND FREE online kitchens for CyanogenMod 6.0.0 Release and Nightly builds.
Update: The auto-updating nightly kitchens are now online!
About the MoDaCo Online Kitchen infrastructure
Regular readers will know we've been running an online kitchen for a while, providing ROM building services to AdFree and Plus members. The reason the kitchens have only been available to members is simple - load. The infrastructure required to support kitchens for a large number of users and devices just isn't economically viable.
At the time of writing, the MoDaCo infrastructure consists of four dedicated servers (all running quad core processors with large disks and a large amount of memory). These servers run custom load balancing software designed to ensure that all of the servers are utilised as optimally as possible to provide the best possible build experience.
The experiment
I have set up two free kitchens below to use one of these servers, leaving the other 3 servers load balancing for Ad Free and Plus members. Now, there's a possibility that the free kitchen could become overloaded and collapse in a big heap, but to a certain extent that is the point of this exercise. To get a gauge on the impact of making an online kitchen more widely available. This is a very limited test and won't be extended to all kitchen ROMs.
The kitchen provides both the stable release build and the current unstable 'nightly' build (with update checks hourly).
Is there a difference between the members only and free kitchens?
The biggest difference of course is the allocation of servers in the farm, which equates to speed and availability. The other difference is that the member kitchen can create signed builds, whereas the free kitchen cannot.
Awesome! How do I support future kitchen developments?
Details on how to donate are in the original post at MoDaCo.
Do we post feedback on the CM 6 ROM here?
Only feedback on any issues relating to the kitchen... feedback on the ROM itself should be posted at the CyanogenMod forum.
Anything else?
The kitchens can be found here (unfortunately there's no way for me to embed them into this post) . Enjoy!
P
Very cool, thanks
Cool.
Im an AdFree Modaco Member.
I will really enjoy the nightly kitchen with (maybe?) an old App2sd+ option.
Nice. Oh and have you abandoned sense for nexus? Wanted trackball colours to make it complete

Great! (they update same time as the nightly's?) Awesome!
Excellent idea Paul! Suggestion: I've always wondered if it would be possible to save my kitchen selections so I don't have to click all over the place every time I download. Nice work!
Yeah, that feature is coming!
P
AWESOME!
I did a CM Nightly, removed all the stuff I never ever use and now as soon as it downloads I just have to sign it and flash!
I wonder how it'll run.
Or just flash using clockworkmod recovery where signing isn't needed...
P
I am new here, I try to update the Kitchened ROM. But it failed, Error: Status 6.
Pls advise.
Thanks!

Which options did you bake in / out?

Hi Paul... I cooked a (nightly) rom with your "premium" kitchen... but I've got a question: if I try to look for an upgraded version of the rom (through the "Rom update utility") it say that there are no updated version of it.
This happens every night I try.
So... what I have to do to upgrade my nightly "cooked" (clean by all unused stuff ecc...) cyanogen rom? I don't want to upgrade to the stock nightly one, this way the online cooking became useful!
Thanks in advance and... sorry for my bad english, I'm from Italy.

Rom manager only checks for the original Nightly zip file. The kitchen adds the selected Gapps into the zip. ( I think )

EDIT: Working now.
"The G2 Dream Team" (and they well deserve that name) has released not one, but TWO lollipop builds for the LG G2. Both ROMs are based on the same build tree, but one ROM is CM12 and the other is a LiquidSmooth 4.0 ROM. Despite being built from the same build tree, they carry different features. They are stable and usable for daily drivers, but they may carry some bugs, like a non-functional video playback, NFC issues for LS/VS980 but it should all be sorted out in the near future. Head over to the threads to read more!:

Older posts:
An increasing amount of devices have been receiving unofficial Android Lollipop 5.0 ports, like the HTC One M8 and the LG Optimus L9. Today another device can be added to the list of phones receiving a treatment with the taste of Android Lollipop, the LG G2. While there generally has been a wide contribution from the community; testing, sharing files and giving ideas, two XDA members stood out in particular in order to create the build, @ylukasy and @InfinitusDesigner. The port is still in a very early pre-alpha stage, and the bugs are barely known yet, but the ROM boots and has even been rooted! While it might be wisest to wait until an official thread has been made before grabbing your devices and start flashing, @ylukasy has already provided a download link for the ROM, and calls for people to help discover the bugs so that they can be eliminated. Please notice that the ROM might not be stable enough to be used as a daily driver, but owners of a LG G2 are officially an important step closer to having a stable Lollipop ROM!
If this post caught your interest and you're willing to take the risk, head over to the last pages in the following thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/general/unofficial-cm12-nexus-5-posted-t2936398
As previously mentioned, a lot of things are not sorted out yet, and the build might not be for your device number, so make sure you read the entire thread before continuing, or simply wait untill an official thread is made.
Update:
An official thread has been posted and it can be found by following this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g2/development/rom-android-lollipop-fast-clean-t2941922
The build is a port of the Nexus 5 ROM, and users of the ROM have been saying that the rom is very fast and fluid, calls work, camera works (although the quality is inferior), but other users have been reporting random reboots and incompatibilities with certain apps such as YouTube or WhatsApp.
by vPro97
This post will be updated regularly when new information regarding Lollipop ports surface.
Fantastic News! Will get round to trying it shortly, thanks for the link!
While I have my doubts about it being functional (or even booting) on my LS980, I'll give it a shot and see what happens.
Nice to see things moving at breakneck speeds these days.
On a side note, I just read the AnandTech review of the Nexus 6 and am happy to report that my well over a year old G2 beats it in several benchmarks so I'm pretty satisfied at the moment, especially considering I got it for free. I mean really...
In before "no build for xxxx?!?!?!?"
Anyone know how to port a d802 rom to d800?
Ready to try it out and see what happened..??
his build is from the same source the other was he doesn't deserve credit for it. it's using cm12 kernel and dev claims it's using nexus 5 port yet requires gapps and no signs of any nexus 5 code at all.
Wouldn't it be alot easier to just post the download link here?

It's not my work, and there are some steps which must be followed in order to make it work. I am just objectively informing any news regarding Android Lollipop for the LG G2.
OP has been updated.
The download link was removed before i could get the v3 version so im stuck with v2 and ive been using it as my daily (yeah it reboots every 5 minuets and i can leave wifi on or it will bootloop) But honestly thats the fun in testing this stuff out

Can anyone port the Nexus 5 ROM?

Hi everybody!!
I need a tester please:
I built pure AOSP for the D802 from sources of Android right now, has anybody time to test it?
It is an experimental build and I didn't test it right now, so I don't know if it is working, please make a backup from your current rom.
The build comes with an built in CWM recovery and should be with root access. It can be flashed with the same instructions like the CM 12 build.
Edit: Bootloop right now ... Anybody, can you take a logcat?

Yes sure, but right now, I have to solve the bug, that the d802 wouldnt boot, so this may take some more time until I build it for other devices too.

Hello people
Android N developer preview has been released by google.What do you think about it guys ? Will it come to s3 and should we expect ? For me, it's not very hard to port it to s3 because it's very similar to MM. And we have cm13 MM

Don't dream about it. The development of CM13 for the S3 is full of problems despite the official status and the great effort of the maintainer, I'm running CM12.1 build 31 "unofficial" and it's the best rom I've tried, and maybe the best there will be for our good old S3, and we should be happy with that.
ps.: MM should be LP 5.2

IMO CM 13 beats CM12 and CM12.1 hard.
CM 13's performance , battery life and multitasking ability is way better than CM 12.
Also it is also quite stable

That is not what I've experienced with CM13, in fact the two roms are very similar in features and look, been CM12.1 far more polished and without missing things in Settings. And about performance, with latest boeffla 4 alpha 19 linaro 5.3.1 version, the CM12.1 build 31 is the fastest rom I've ran on my S3

I guess s3 will be receving cm 14, at least nightlies, and oly international version (gtí9300), as it´s the most popular. Remember that the SGSii international(gti9100) has official cm 13 just my thoughts

Ahhh. Ok. Sorry. S3 forever people! :fingers-crossed: :good:
I think that android n will come to s3 because our device is still a good one and with some overclocking and custom roms it bests the s4 original! Hope for marshmallow touchwiz! One day it will be ported as lollipop for s3 neo!
If android n out in this year probably forkbomb444 can do this ;]
I think S3 could possibly got a Cm version of android N, like when the last stable release of the S3 intl was CM11 4.4.4 and then we got a almost stable CM13 which was a 6.0.1 based rom, i still see my friends using expensive phones but were still runing 5.1.1 and some 5.0.2.
Cm makes all the old phones so new and smooth again.

Search for CM12.1 Build 31 unofficial
CM13 is official and I tested a bit the latest nightly builds and 31.03.2016 build is most stable. No bugs!!! And yes, our phone WILL get N version because this version is just a simple update like M.
I've heard that the source code is estimated to come out this fall. This why i hope for a Cyanogenmod 14 to come out for our veteran Galaxy SIII ( cm13 was actually a patch with some improvements to cm 12 and cm 12.1 )
Guys, we all wish to see cm14 in s3 but Lord Boeffla told that he will never develop a kernel for cm14 for s3.He said cm13 boeffla kernel is his last tribute to our s3.

I don't think so. I think I will maintain Lineage if it's updated with security patches, but this one does not, and I think most of the others do not either...

Hi everyone, here is a new build with "doze", should improve battery life (and I'm using it, I think it does ! )
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1cKzSmxPJvPYuLowyNMqdriJGa7kYMlhD
For those who hope for Oreo updates, my todo/trying list is the following :
trying to improve the kernel, in order not to have to install a custom one to have videos with Instagram/WhatsApp
trying to update the ROM with Google security patches
If I succeed to do that, I may be able to maintain DotOS 2.5, and thus LineageOS
But just a reminder : I'm doing it for my personal interest/curiosity, and I have a work and kids, so don't expect to much from me !

Something is better than nothing. Personal life is always important. I hope that people won't pester you for updates. Thanks for developing Oreo ROMs.
I have a query. When I used this ROM, the screen on time was worse than your lineage OS ROM but idle drain was similar. Since doze reduces idle drain, have your screen on time improved with this version?

Thank you, @adinechin ! This rom is really good. I use it with "PBH" kernel. It's fast and smooth, with good customization options and no major issues. Voice calling quality is also good - may be the in call volume is a little loud and also the interlocutors hear a very slight echo of their voice.
I found two bugs:
1.After restarting, Substratum layers are deactivated and must be reactivated.
2. Cracking sound of notifications with stock kernel.
And one question - is the latest version of September 9th?

Hi and thanks for your feedback
About security patches, the Oreo version has been abandonned since March so I'll have to merge the fixes myself and fork all repositories needed. It might take some time but I'm willing to do it
For the other bugs I don't know if I can fix them, but you can always send logs...

Hi everyone, here is a new build : https://drive.google.com/open?id=1G4c89Xry01uzn4Qk6QVRuhd299L73xkC
Pie kernel for better battery life, and video bug in WhatsApp and Instagram
Update of security patch to june (I don't know why but I did not succed to merge patches to september, and be aware that the patch might not be really up to date even to june...)
I wanted to share this build because I've not much time these days, but the Pie kernel is a good improvement.
Hello,
@sir_bazz mentioned that this needed its own thread, thus I'm creating one.
I've been building LineageOS 14.1 from the official LineageOS source repository for my personal devices for some time now, and it finally occurred to me that others might find them useful.
These builds are created every Saturday night from a 100% unaltered LineageOS repository, which is synchronized with upstream every day. I must stress that there are NO MODIFICATIONS at all; if it worked/didn't work in the last official Cyanogenmod/LineageOS releases, it works/doesn't work in my builds. At Apple we called these "sustaining builds" -- they keep devices in sync with the latest security patches, but receive no new features.
Deb is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/deb/. Flo is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/flo/. There are other devices being built as well ... if you would like me to add a 14.1 or 15.1 device to the weekly build roster, please let me know.
I hope this helps out folks who want to extend the service lifetime of their gear. Share and enjoy.
Edit: per moderator request, I need to provide a link to the source repository used to generate these builds to comply with XDA's interpretation of the GPL. It is the stock LineageOS repository, located at git://github.com/LineageOS/android.git. TheMuppets binary repository was used for the vendor blobs; it is at https://github.com/TheMuppets/
Have been testing the latest weekly for a couple of days now, and no issues to report.
My Deb device is relegated to a dedicated Pogo tablet and I think Lineage 14.1 is a better match for my use as there's noteably more memory available after system startup than with the Pie ROMs I've tested.
It just feels much smoother.
Would've been more than happy with monthly updates but thanks for building the ROM and also making weeklies available for us Nexus 7 diehards.

Likewise. I was just about to junk a (relatively) new N7 (flo) on stock MM. but wanted to give a newer ROM a try (Oreo). I didn't like my O options and stumbled upon these N builds on the backend of another thread. Flashed/Magisk couple Mods. Been up a week now and not one problem whatsoever!
Really appreciate the work as this ROM (I had never used a LinOS rom before) is running so well the N7 is almost my daily house driver again. The N7 FF really has never been matched/surpassed and once you've become accustomed to it its just hard to give up that "sweet spot".

I hope this helps out folks who want to extend the service lifetime of their gear. Share and enjoy.

Hi, I've just updated both my Hammerhead 15.1 and Flo 14.1. Everything has gone smoothly and all is working. I was just hoping you could clarify something that occurred to me regarding the builds.
When you say there are no modifications, does that mean that the basic ROM is frozen at the point when LineageOS stopped releasing official builds, and does that also mean that builds in between the monthly security updates are all the same or can there be other security/bug fixing updates from LineageOS? Also Lineage 15 was never official for the Nexus 5 or 7? I'm a bit in the dark as to how these things work.
Thanks in advance.

No worries. By "no modifications", I mean that these are built directly from a clone of the LineageOS repository. I've made absolutely no changes to the source code. No kernel tweaks, no new features, no hidden spyware, no bugfixes (no matter how much I am tempted to do so!).
The LineageOS folks merge the monthly Google security patches into the 14.1 and 15.1 trees, but they don't make official builds for devices that no longer have a maintainer. Their official recommendation is to build it yourself if you want to keep your devices patched, but a non-trivial number of users can't make their own builds, so ...
... since I'm doing builds for my own devices anyway, it would be a good thing to make them available to others. Thus I have done so
Edit: argh, rereading I realize I didn't directly answer your exact question. From an end-user perspective, these builds are indeed frozen in time compared to the last official LineageOS build. Security patches happen as described above.
The Nexus 7 never received an official 15.1 build as far as I can tell, so I'm generating 14.1 for it.
The Nexus 5 is a bit of a grey area, in that builds generated from the 15.1 branch work fine with the exception of Bluetooth (from what I hear, as I don't use Bluetooth on my device). It appears to require a device repartition if you want to use Google apps, though, so I'm building both 14.1 and 15.1 to keep options option.

OK. Thanks for the explanation. Sorry to ask again, but does that mean that I only have to update once a month for the security updates, and that the other weekly builds are basically just repeats? Or am I misunderstanding?

They're repeats. I'm doing them weekly to reduce the amount of time between the security patch hitting the tree and having a patched build available.

OK. That's clear now. Thanks for your time.

I was just about to junk a (relatively) new N7 (flo) on stock MM

the N7 is almost my daily house driver again. The N7 FF really has never been matched/surpassed and once you've become accustomed to it its just hard to give up that "sweet spot".

Outstanding. That is exactly the reason why I'm making these builds. There's no reason to trash perfectly good hardware. Kudos to the LineageOS folks for keeping the tree patched -- the only thing missing were, um, actual builds.
Hi !
Thank you for your LOS 14.1 updating release, but I have error 7 with TWRP when I try flash it.

Make certain you're flashing the correct image. Boot into the bootloader and verify that the platform is the same as the build variant you are flashing. Good luck.
Thank you so much for this @wileyc , is possible to add 15.1 for flo?

I'm afraid not. These are built from unmodified LineageOS source repo; I'm just providing sustaining builds, not doing new development/porting.
Thank you for these!! This rom runs perfect on the FLO. I hope you continue the updates for a long time!!

Good day sir, would you consider adding to the roster and doing sustaining builds for the Moto Z Play, https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/addison?
Many thanks for providing these builds for the Nexus 7 2013.

No problem at all. I've added it to the weekly roster, and a one-off build is at https://lineageos.disavowed.jp/addison/.

Awesome turnaround sir. And thank you very much. ?
Thanks for running these builds! Out of curiosity what's the monthly cost like? You running these on a home machine or something like DigitalOcean?
Hi. One Question, can i update over last zeelogs LOS Build?
