Being a total Android n00b, I just finished converting my SE X10 mini pro from stock to MiniCM-2.1.9+ nAa-11 kernel, and now I want to go on taking care of my ZTE Blade, but as far as I have seen by now, development for the ZTE Blade is quite different.
The official stable CM7 seems to be stuck at 7.1.0 since autumn, somewhere it was mentioned that nightlies have been discontinued, I could not find any info on kernel development, and progress only goes on with builds called KANGs?
Has official CM7 development shifted to CM9 only?
Can someone explain please, what KANG means?
Which CM 7.2 KANG is the current recommendation (I read about targetBSP, BurgerZ, burstlam and sej7278) and what are the differences?
You can say these as unofficial nightlies built by other people with their own small modifications but with all the official CM updates.
The names you mentioned are the one who built them
The one that i found fastest was the burstlam build but they're all pretty similar....except..targetbsp's version is more like a vanilla version meaning using all official cm updates only no extra mods etc. s
CM7 is still being developed, the only thing that stopped were the nightly builds, think it was hd failure on the server or something. CyanogenMod recently took donations for new servers, so they should be back up & running soon.
KANGs are just versions built from CM7 source, but not by CyanogenMod. There isn't much real development going on with them. They're just more recent because the CM7 nightly builds stopped months ago.

Go for Burstlam's build. Has good options for UI customisation and also has lesser battery consumption.

Probably a stupid question,
But if I want to keep up to date with CM7 on the atrix, am I better off using the very occasional builds found at atrix-dev-team or using the nightlies now being hosted through Cyanogen? (is there any/much difference?)
Thanks!

Nightlys are constantly changing stuff removed, stuff put in, some things good, somethings not so good if you're looking for the most updated and experimental go with nightlys but if you're looking for the most stable then go for betas. Thats all.

I should have been clearer, but you may have answered my question anyway. I recognize the general difference between autobuilt nightlies and betas -- I just wanted to make sure they were working from the same source (since atrix-dev-team and cyanogenmod aren't the same people)
thanks! (are they definitely the same source trees, just at different points?)
The way I understand it to have worked is that the atrix-dev team pushed code up into the nightly tree so the nightlies had official support for the atrix.
Whether or not the dev team push up their latest beta code is unknown. It would require them to merge changes with the nightlies which may or may not cause problems.
I'm fairly sure I've seen t0dbld state that the branches will remain separate at least for the foreseeable future.
Okay...I may have missed a post or two....but I am just wondering why CM9 and AOKP have both been discontinued before a stable release of CM10...
it seems kind of unusual to do stuff like that...i dunno, i'm not trying to say you guys aren't doing things right or anything...i'm just confused...
Cm9 is not discontinued.
Eyeballer's nightlies are still active.
Only some other projects stopped.
Cm10 sure still need a lot of time till it gets stable.

Sam's build was just that...a build. He had it automated to sync up source, build, and provide to everyone. Eyeballer's build are still going I believe, and you can always learn to build from source. There is still code being submitted for ICS as well as JB.
gracias you guys...
like i said, i missed a couple posts and it was merely a wandering thought that i could not find an answer to...so thank you
:laugh:GAH! nevermind. browser messed up and did not load the page. Or Im an idiot. Question already answered.
I know this is a development forum,but I wanted to raise attention for the new build of CM 7 with continuous update,I like the CM 9.10 work here but I think they need more work to be ready for daily use.
so I strongly recommend the new CM 7
download:

Any important changelog? The last 7.2 stable is quite stable
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#legend/cm7/next
but it is till 15/11
I am using the nightlies for some time now, from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=legend. However, I was wondering what the changes in the last nightly are, filesize is different from previous,but changelog says No changes.
Anybody knows?

Last nightly from March 1st, it's no longer building them?
There's really no more point in CM7 nightlies if no more features are going to be announced and added to CM7 legacy devices. Unfortunately, users of these devices are content with CM7 as they are or else they'd buy a more powerful device, given how it's >3 years old.
I guess the nightlies until March were meant as flexibility to those unable to run the CM7 stable series.
As much as I'd hate to say it, if you want more out of Android and custom ROMs, I guess you're going to have to upgrade.
Hey folks!
The guys over at CM have officially released CM10 for our device iyokan/MK16i.
I thought it would be good if we could keep all the discussion related to that in a single thread to keep it organized and available for readers.

I have been using cm-10-20121218-NIGHTLY-iyokan.zip and all the upper versions except the latest 20121221 and 20121222... They were stable and great for daily use but it had a lot of bugs... and they have been releasing a new rom everyday since then so i thought I might for a while until we actually get a stable one...
There were no major bugs... just small ones... like low in-call volume and stuff which is probably fixed in the latest version...
Do we have a list of what's not working and other known issues?
I might give it a try over the weekend.

Read the first reply above your post. I might make a list after few people report what is working and what is not.

How is this work related to the work done by team FXP (discussed at this thread)? Is this the same build?
Or is it different?
I thought FXP was the official maintainer of CM for these devices; why is there on official, non-FXP build @ CM,
and a different, FXP build elsewhere?
Could someone please explain?
Thank you:
I guess M66B answered it in the PRO CM10 thread. It is work of the FXP team.
I just got a Defy+ as a gift and upgrade. It came rooted.
I see the overwhelming choice of custom ROMs offered here and got confused.
I wanted to try Firefox OS for one but it was long updated (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865120&page=17)
So, which to choose from the many Androids? I don't have any special requirements but stability and be it well supported (by the wonderful XDA community).
In the forum of my previous phone (Galaxy Mini) there were 2 threads for a specified custom ROM: one for the developers and one for the users. This designation would be helpful here, too.
Are there distinctive 'stable' releases as well or am I supposed to pick the latest nightly and hope it is more stable than previous day's?

By CM11 which thread do you mean? Run by which XDA member? As there are more.
We do not allow best/most stable ROM/Kernel threads on XDA. The reason is everybody has their own opinion, each user has different usage and different needs for their device plus developers do not like seeing their work compared to others.
As for your question about nightlies.. They are the builds which run everyday with the latest patches that have been merged into the repositories. They can contain bugs which are usually fixed the day or few days after that is why there usually always is stable builds every once in awhile.
Edit (after your last post) - and if your looking for CM11 its here
