CM is constantly updating its code for various OS fixes every few days. You can either use nightly builds (the name comes from the fact that for open source code people would upload their code during at night and the resulting amalgam would come out as "new" code but often unrefined so it would be less stable)
or go with the latest stable builds with minor updates to the code.

[READ] Attn kernel developers - 2011-08-01

Hey guys,
A quick heads up. Samsung have posted kernel sources for their latest Chinese ROM release that a few people have mistaken for updated kernel sources used in the 2.3.4 builds.
!! THIS IS NOT TRUE !!
The GT-I9100_CHN_CHN.zip marked as used in I9100ZCKG4 is exactly the same source as the original EUR based kernel GT-I9100_Opensource.zip, which is a buggy release and causes random reboots.
The one the latest custom kernels are (or should be) based on GT-9100_OpenSource_Update1.zip is sources used with 2.3.3 and still the latest version we have available.
So don't go grabbing the "latest" Chinese release, as it's actually a downgrade.

[Q] Devs to built KitKat 4.4 from source

Hey there!
Are there any devs that want to built KitKat from source for our find5?
Thanks in advance.
I believe all 3rd party roms for Find 5 will upgrade to 4.4. At least the active ones who keep getting updates.

As soon as aosp Master branch is being updated to kitkat, cfxe will go for it hopefully it will come soon so we can get started
A side node: omni rom uses branch :android-4-4_r1 , whats diffrent from master branch is , that is the first release, and master branch is the dev branch. If we use 4-4_r1 99% sure nothing is being merged to aosp, but when we use master branch , changes is being merged to aosp sources.

CM 13.0 Release – ZNH5Y

New CyanogenMod 13 snapshot build (ZNH5Y) is rolling out.
The Android ROM community isn't quite as active as it was a few years ago with Android itself becoming more feature-rich. Still, CyanogenMod is chugging along with support for a ton of devices and a reasonably fast update cycle. A new snapshot build of the Marshmallow-based CyanogenMod 13 is now official (ZNH5Y), and it will be available on the first wave of devices today.
This is a snapshot build, meaning it's the most stable build of CM you can get. Of particular note, this version of CM will include all security patches up through the August bulletin. Build ZNH5Y also includes fixes for several of the recently reported Quadrooter kernel vulnerabilities. Two of the vulnerabilities aren't accessible to the CM team, so those patches need to come from further up the chain.
If you're running the ZNH0E snapshot build, you can flash the new one on top of it. ROMs for various devices will roll out as they are ready. Today, you can expect downloads for popular devices from OEMs like OnePlus, Samsung, and Motorola, as well as most Nexus devices. The full list is available on CM's blog post, but they're all code names.

Which is better / newer ? This on ore this one cm-13.1.1-ZNH2KAS2X1-bacon-signed-704f3ea59b ?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: I discovered what is difference, this one is cyanogenmod the other one is cyanogenOs, i got wrong with the filename.
I get reboots every time I receive a phone call with clean install and the latest stock opengapps. Works fine without opengapps, now trying to get it to work without the google dialer.
Edit: ok I looked into it, I never had to do this on recent cm13 nightlies but it's necessary to set dialer as default app for phonecalls.

Your are trying to compare CM with COS?
I am the proud owner of two Oneplus One devices. (TWRP 3.0.2.0)
Just dirty flashed cm-13.0-20160816-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO0F6-bacon on top of the previous Snapshot version on my two devices.
DDR is wiped perfectly.
Flash process well documented (log on screen)
After Flash, do a wipe of Cache / dalvik (just to be sure)
That's all. Works well, no issues.
Again, a nice job of Cyanogen.Mod... (Some may not like them, but I (and my devices) do like them)

What's the difference between history and release

RELEASE: Tested after integrating new features, more stable than NIGHTLY. (Odexed builds)
NIGHTLY: Built daily with newest code and experimental features, might contain undiscovered bugs. (Deodexded builds)
HISTORY: Final odexded builds once a newer Android version is out and being built.
EXPERIMENTAL: Released when a new device is added or when a new feature is added for public beta testing and feedback. (Deodexded builds)
UNOFFICIAL: Maintained separately by individual developers, usually involves modification of shared code which cannot be merged (affects other devices), therefore maintained by the developer himself.
Nice thanks
History means stablest

what's caf version?

Hello everyone,I am using PiexlExperience rom now. And I also see there is a caf version rom supply.
So I want to know what is caf version? Does it better than normal version? And what should I do if I want to flash the CAF rom? Do I need to clear all my user data?
Thanks, I am really looking forward to hear something from you guys.
CAF stand for Code Aurora Forum, which is the forum that Qualcomm released their source code. Since it contains source code directly from Qualcomm, rom built with it usually more stable and more optimized.
About the rom flash, sadly I don't know anything, as I don't want to use Pie at all.

It's uglier than Oreo and a few small but annoying things like the expand volume button is gone, Gcam autofocus (don't know if it also happen on custom rom). Besides the new features in Pie like Adaptive Brightness is useless to me, as I never turn on Auto Brightness, and few people said that Pie has notification problem.
