Unofficial build is stable enough and no activity is seen on https://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/project:CyanogenMod/android_device_oneplus_onyx. Will there be an official build anytime soon?
Yes, there will be.
A button commit is waiting to be merged, then we'll have official nightlies.
Any idea on how much it will take?

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.
What does it take for a ROM to move from unofficial to official or is that not how it works? For example, I run cm11 official because its official. I would like to run cm12 but it says unofficial.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong.. But... Unofficial is usually when someone compiles the build themselves and share. They sometimes add commits that have not been merged into official builds. Sometimes add add-ons that may not be supported in official builds. Sometimes a dev team may not have a maintainer for a specific official build. Most times unofficial builds aren't always as dependant as official. Sometimes they can be better.
As for CM 12. It went official last night. They are nightly builds, but they are official now. The thread is in the original development section. You can go to the CM site and it shows all the official 11 builds and then starting with 1/6 it is now on official 12 nightly. Hope that helps. ?
Just to clarify. The official CM11 thread is where to go for more info right now. Sure they will probably start a new one soon, but the link still takes you to CM and the latest build is the CM 12 from today 1/6. http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=vs985&type=nightly
Hi community, hi @Lysergic Acid,
do you think it would be possible to get an monthly snapshot release of the official CyanogenMod 12.1?
If I look back to CM 11 (download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=i9100&type=snapshot), monthly snapshots were normal.
Currently I'm on a nightly from november. I thought about a switch to the snapshot release, but this release was in mid november too.
Since Google push monthly security patches (to AOSP?), would it not be more necessary to push this patches with monthly snapshots to?
If not, could someone mention why?
Best regards

CyanogenMod seems to be releasing snapshots more or less a week after google releases security updates, if that doesn't happen then some major issue is blocking the release
Thanks @Lysergic Acid for the quick response.
Have you any idea why the snapshot is blockt for the snapshot?
Would it not be nice, if the snapshot would be released more or less automatically (if possible)?
How many days which have a release for cm-13 SNAPSHOT ROM
You can check their blog for new information -> http://www.cyanogenmod.org/blog. They write around 1 post a month on their blog, so the february post may come in the next days. Communication could be better (what is a blog for?).
The fact that they did not release a snasphot gives you a hint on what to expect from current nighlies. You can have a look at the cm13-stable branch here -> http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:stable/cm-13.0-ZNH0E. There are still so many changes getting merged every day, I would not expect a snapshot before march.
Unfortunately they quietly dropped support for cm12.1, no snapshot with security updates since november. There is still a stable branch for cm12.1 with security updates (http://review.cyanogenmod.org/#/q/status:merged+branch:stable/cm-12.1-YOG7D). Hard to understand why they don't update at least the snapshots for cm12.1.
i see official builds are coming up right now but no LOS official build till now
so it's coming this days ?
All Android 8.1 ROMs still have the exact same bugs. Just because dotOS or crDroid chose to already go for 'official' status doesn't mean they're any more stable than Lineage. It just undermines what 'official' should stand for - a ROM where everything works. I'd rather that development took its time and the 'official' status really meant something.
