1.6/2.0/2.1 with the kernel that HTC just released?

I was wondering why its been so quite after HTC released the new kernel for the Sprint Hero, I thought that was the missing link that was needed for complete 1.6/2.0/2.1 roms?

It hasn't been quiet.
Also the kernel that HTC released needs to be ported to 2.6.29 to fully work with 1.6+.
All this info is on the forum & easily obtainable.

I just thought we would see some 1.6/2.0/2.1 releases now that the kernel was released, that's all

There's been 1.6+ releases for a while...

Let me elaborate a little here:
This kernel that was released is not a magic bullet, it allows us to see what code needs to be changed to get the correct Kernel to run these newer versions. It also lets us make any performance changes we can find.
All of the changes need to be put into the current kernel source,making it a .29 or whatever we need.
It has been fairly quite, we aren't seeing tons of Roms being thrown out to the market, thankfully. Our devs are taking all the time they need to make sure everything works and is stable. We should see some big stuff happen in the next week or so.

Good to know, I guess I'm like a kid in the candy store, thanks for educating me on the kernel process.

Modaco's 2.2 has the customized kernel in it now.. read the front page of the Hero forum for the link..
its very nice..

Yea that's what I'm rocking right now, I'm just impatient for a fully funcional newer OS

Roll up Roll up, Taking Bets! Google or Cyanogen!

Two choices, A or B, slap your vote below
A: Froyo's true release ROM will be better than Cyanogen's godmix based off the pre release ROM
A: Cyanogen's godmix based off the pre release ROM will be better than Froyo's true release ROM

uhh, A?
since this pre-release is probably a RC, i would say cyan would be 'better'

A I guess
How about putting up a poll...

Cyanogen FroYo > FroYo > Cyanogen non-FroYo

agreed, might stick with stock froyo for a while so i can get excited again when i slap cyan on there.
need something to keep my attention for the next 6 months

Agree with this

He isnt working on a dump, wont start working on a 2.2 rom till they drop to aosp which makes this pretty much a non starter. However whenever he does get rolling it will be epic. Stock froyo will weep with embaressment. Some people will still not flash because they are worried that rooting will cause global warming.

this is a moot post since cyanogen only bases his roms off aosp, not a another rom.

Well to be accurate or technical I'd say neither cause being that this is a pre-release test ROM I doubt that Google will release the source code which Cyan uses to make his ROMs so there will be no CM ROM based off the pre-release.
Now if you ask if Cyan's ROM made after and off of the official Froyo release's source code is out then I will definitely say Cyan's will run circles around the official.

This poll doen't make any 'sense'...too early for assumptions

cyanogen....not a hard choice

This..............

1 is always less than 1+1+1+1... (i.e. CM builds are based on the official release, with lots of fixes and enhansements)
I believe the final froyo will be almost the same as this "test" release.

Cyanogen pushing out Evo RC1?

I think that Cyanogen is ready for an RC1 release of CM6

WhooHoo!!!!

So excited, waiting for final release before I flash this to my EVO though. But he's making progress quickly!

I don't see how it will be any better than a nightly. If RC1 gets released tonight, it is nothing but yesterday's nightly + a few patches.

It just means that the code has progressed to the point where Cyanogen considers it to be RC1... from the last night's build it's running a lot better than the previous, most of the apps in the market are showing up now, and it just feels snappier.
What were you expecting?

Here is what I am expecting :
1. Now that it is stable true refinements can begin and that we can start tracking issues
2. One step closer to a final release

I believe you're going to get that with a RC release.
I would like my FM radio and wimax to work... but I'll still run CM6 with out it.

Couple of CM6 questions...
Questions:
I have full NAND root and flashed the stock rooted ROM... been waiting for a super stable CM6 with everything working (well, except for wimax). Couple of questions before i proceed:
- Is it necessary to flash the radios that comes with the CM6 builds? The radio I have now seems to be working fine and if it ain't broke, don't fix it right?
- How do I flash GAPPS? Just download the zip and flash it just like a ROM?
- Why doesn't cyanogen just package the gapps with the CM6 build... does this have something to do with his cyanogen project agreement with Google?
- When I do a NAND backup, does it include the radios?
Thanks!

Just a question. If his latest build was the rc, would it show up under a different name in a different place other than here http://mirror.kanged.net/cm/nightly/supersonic/? His newest build still has the same name progression as the nightly's.

From what i read in the git, it looks like he is taking the next nightly to rc1. The code was committed about an hour ago, not sure when the automated nightly ran....

the latest build is not rc1.

Hmmm. I'll flash the newest nightly and see if anything is majorly different. I guess we really won't be able to tell until cyan officially releases rc1 on twitter.

There were some major camera tweaks in the latest nightly.

There's also a new video's shortcut on the home list page thing. Camera actually uses the entire screen while previewing; can't really tell any difference with recording video. Seems a bit snappier too, but it could just be in my head lol.

Dude...seriously? So the RC is a few patches from test builds, the Beta is a few patches from RC, the Gold is a few patches from Beta, SP2 is a few patches from Gold, v2.x is a few patches from SP2....
...when the hell do you get your software?

- he says you have to have the latest, but someone better qualified could probably answer this better
-yep
-google made him pull roms b/c the google stuff isnt open source. this is the workaround
-no, once you flash a radio its there

It's not an RC by ANY reasonable standard unless it's actually a release candidate. Release candidates don't have things broken. This release canidate would have 4g broken.
CM needs to hold himself to a higher standard. None of the CM6 rcs are actually RCs, and I really do not know why he is calling them that.

Cyanogenmod: why are there no stable release?

I'd like to use CM12.1 (marshmallow) but I realize there still are no stable release? Why? Is it not good enough yet?
I've had a pretty bad experience with CM on my old Galaxy S4 so I'm a little afraid to remove the stock recovery and ROM from my Moto X Play. I want to make sure that it's bug free (or as buggy as stock) and suitable for day use. In other words I want to flash it and know it's fully reliable. Given the fact that there are only nightly releases, are they reliable enough for this?
Thanks

I can't vouch for the latest releases, as my xplay has been broken for like 3 months now, but being a nightly doesn't inherently make it unstable. Stable builds are usually relabeled nightlies. I say give it a shot. You can always go back to stock if you don't like it, unless you're speaking about voiding warranty

Oh! I thought nightlies were unstable releases. So before yours broke, you had a good experience? No problem with camera or other stuff?
It's not really a question of warranty but rather just not having any issues when I need it to work. For instance, with my Galaxy S4, the camera kept crashing while I was out with my kids so I lost time trying to make it work when I wanted to take a picture. That's the kind of thing I wouldn't want happening just because I got another ROM.

Indeed I did (have a good experience). If you're every unsure of a nightly, head to the thread. You'll usually find one or several people commenting if it's no good.

Yeah I had a look (I just realized I was talking about CM13 not 12.1) but given there are now 205 pages I thought I'd ask about the nightly situation in a different thread.
I think I may try it and restore it from the ROM available in the forum.
Oh and I keep wondering, given Motorola never actually released the ROM, how can someone make it available?

I m using nightly for like 3 months ......and I can say nightly is far better than stock if you are looking for customization and speed. I recently tried to go back to stock 6.0.1 but that experience is so "LAGGY" that I again return back to CM.I can say that CM nightly build working best for me with my requirements(like gaming and also photography and editing and HEAVY Customization and many more ) . and about custom recovery,it's a must have tool I suggest as with that I can return back to my previous builds. SO i recommend to go for NEW CM build,but in the end it's upto you.
and if u r still fearing about NIGHTLIES then flash the custom recovery(twrp) and then make backup of whole stock system and then do whatever U want to.

Btw this is the wrong forum to discuss things

Original development is for devs posting their work usually

Base roms

So I searched the whole rom recoveries kernel section, did not see any base roms. If there isn't, where to info about pulling system to make one? Trying to get a custom OOS rom going as AOSP can suck it lol. Original software is always more stable IMO

What is a base ROM for you?
Normally pure AOSP is considered as the reference as it's Google code without modification. But people don't like pure AOSP because it's lacking many features people are used to. So even AOSP labeled ROM have some non AOSP add-ons.
If you want a 'pure' AOSP ROM you'll have to compile it.

Back in the days someone usually created an optimized stock Rom for different devices based off the OEMs software so that others could flash it or use it as a base for custom ROMs based off of stock.
I believe that's what he is referencing if I am not mistaken.

There is no base ROM for the OnePlus 6T. Its so AOSP like almost everything is done from source. I thought about posting a base ROM, as that is what I used to primarily use (and usually posted). I wasnt much into Source.
Another cool thing some devs due are make mods that can be flashed in magisk, and so long as you have the stock oos you can enjoy there version of stock oos with whatever tweaks they have done to it such as custom settings apps, etc.

Nailed Scott as usual. This device and how android handles files is extremely different than other phones we've both worked on as well (pretty sure that's android specific) I'm gonna have to look into the magisk thing. Never did the from source thing so that might be over my head. Don't have Linux set up on my machine either so a lot of time would have to go into just getting a stock flashable to work with.
I want to get some of the mods and themes I always post for this phone, but this might be a hurtle as I usually got a base to run with. I always try to show some love and since developers are jumping ship (because the money's not there, let's not lie and say that isn't what it's about) I know my work would be appreciated

The magisk modules are a great way to go because its reversible as well. Not sure if you knew that. You can uninstall these MagiskROM's just as easy as installing.
