[Q] What is CyanogenMod Snapshot build? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, using stable 10.1.3 build and today I received update to Snapshot build 10.2. What is snapshot? Is it something like nightly?
Thank you

Hello
it's a pré-stable build, that's not so stable !
for me, USB tethering causes network losses ( data connection )
& when i have listen an MP3, i get a black screen, and i have to do an hard reboot of the phone...
Edit : Photo whith flash does'nt work properly

So it will be not good step if I'll update to this build, right?

Nightlies are daily build that are unstable for testing only, but most people flash these and complain when they run into problem.
Snapshots (M1, M2) etc are milestones and tend to be more stable so I think you should be safe flashing them.
RC are release candidates, which means if no bugs are found it will become the stable version.
You should just go ahead and try it, you can always create a Nandroid backup with your recovery. Although you will be going from 4.2.2 (10.1.3) to 4.3 (10.2), so to avoid issues do a factory reset before flashing the new version.

The wildfire only goes to 2.2 officialy. CM7 latest build has 2.3.7 and its stable (not including nightlies)
Is that version in stable or night mod?and can can you explain what nightlies is?
Nightlies, from what I know, is a build that they release every night and some times is really buggy but you get the occasional one that is stable. I just stick with the stable releases not the nightlies. Um there is a stable release out.
Here's the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143125
Also the easy way to install it is to use rom manager and make sure you do nandroid backup before you install any roms

Sorry to contradict you but the nightlies in my opinion are just as stable as the stable version, you see a lot of the bugs you may read about in various threads are through user error not the actual rom itself. And been able to use new features long before they are released in a stable version far outweighs the amount of bugs.
I've been on nightlies for about 4 months and only ever had 1 bug, the camera wouldn't work a couple of days ago but Arco already knew why and it was fixed the next day!

All the nightlies I've tried have been stable, I know they had problems in the early stages with bootloops etc but I've been on them since about nightly 100 and never had any major issues apart from my own stupidity.
There is a changelog knocking about somewhere. I'll see if I can find the link later.

[ROM] UNOFFICIAL AOKP nightly builds

UNOFFICIAL AOKP Nightly Builds​
Since AOKP development has started picking up with their addition of their new Gerrit server, I've decided to release nightly builds for AOKP. These should be released every day anywhere from 6-9pm depending on when I get time to do it. Also, some days I might not get the time. However, it should be almost every day that a new build comes out.
All credits go toward the entire AOKP team for their efforts in making one of the most customizable builds out there right now. It is absolutely fantastic.
You can download it by sorting by date uploaded right here on my goo.im profile:
http://goo.im/devs/rohan/tenderloin/aokp_nightlies
Note: These downloads are provided untested. This might break your system so be sure to keep a backup handy. Nightly builds are usually more unstable than any other type of ROM, but if you want the latest features then use this. I do not take responsibility for anything that may happen to your system.
Another note: These downloads do not come with any sort of support. Do not ask for help in IRC for aokp if you are running these nightlies. They are not official and thus are not officially supported. So don't go and give roman and the other devs a headache
And another note: They don't come with gapps, download those separately from goo.im or some other source.
You should just be able to download and install the zip in CWM, then wipe caches. Reboot and enjoy. No other wiping is needed, only caches.
Right now I am building on my personal PC (I don't have a server) so I apologize if it takes a while to get builds up! My system isn't the fastest at making builds haha
I will be making these ROMs updateable via the goo.im app probably this weekend, I don't have much time right now to figure out how it works.
If you want to find out when I release the new nightly, follow me on twitter: http://twitter.com/rohanXm
Looking forward to it!
Is there a changelog like the CM nightlies?

AOKP is pretty awesome. I run it on my Epic 4G and I agree it's more customizeable than CM9 and pretty solid in terms of reliability . Thanks for these Touchpad Nightlies Rohan! Installing it as we speak!

The only "side effect" is that you cannot access the Trebuchet settings and your build.prop values will be different leading to some funky and wrong info in your About Tablet area of your settings.

I just changed it under general ui with rom control settings. Thanks though, its very smooth so far.
Anybody else get a System UI has closed error. Weird, hopefully it was a one time thing. Flashing the 4/20 now. Hopefully that fixes it, I did a full wipe and will wipe again

Yup you need to reflash the Package and nope its the default Cyanogenmod Kernel.
This build is 100% AOKP "stock", as in its simply compiled from source with no changes.

The Supreme mods work fine but the xenon kernel broke my wifi (not had any wifi issues on any build) so back to cyanogen kernel and everything is working
The latest nightly (5/07) fixed my screen off/sound bug. All previous builds of AOKP had a muffled or distorted sound bug that appeared once I dimmed the screen while playing music. Bravo! I believe the fix came from the Classicnerd team, who once again prove they are contributing in remarkable ways. Bravo to them as well!
is this wifi driver included in the nightlys?

I am on rooted Stock 38R ROM. My wifi setting broke after installed this kernel, but the kernel did have much more improvement over stock 38R kernel.
Is there anyway to install the kernel without breaking wifi? Thanks!

Also, to OP, are you going to keep maintaining this thread? Maybe having a regular (like weekly) updates or so?

After R38 can use nightly built
They impement kernel source
Its original from cm download page
Working like a charm
Thats why post here and not to developers threads
I dont compile nothing
I buy this phone because i do not have time to make my own and update from best
My wifi broke with this as well. Running completely stock 38R.
Can you share Source code please?

Hmmm... I'm not that sure, but I guess there are some differences in the kernel between the standard CM11 and CM11S. Not too sure whether it is a good idea to flash kernel from nightly into 11S... How's your experience so far btw?

The device boot fine and all hardware are working fine
If was not compatibility the device could even boot

If you see other custom kernel pages, usually they would have different versions for CM11 and CM11S... So I would assume that there are inherent differences between them. But if it is working fine for you, then great! Maybe I'll try it myself too

UK GT-I9505: Is there a Cyanogenmod 12 or 12.1 nightly?

I'll admit I get completely baffled with all the S4 variants.
1. Put simply is there a UK GT-I9505 Cyanogenmod 12 or 12.1 nightly?
2. What's device name to Cyanogenmod call it?
My GT-I9505 is from Everything Everywhere in the UK (who still haven't released lollipop).
Thanks
1. Yes.
2. jfltexx.
Perfect. Thanks.
jfltexx Snapshots stopped in February 2014 with M3. Which is weird as my LG G Pad last got a stable build in November 2014 with M12. That's a bit worrying if I want a stable/reliable CM build.
p.s. Stable being used generally. I'm aware CM used to use Stable as a specific naming convention.

Nightlies are more stable then the snapshots. So don't let naming misguide you. Just go for either the nightlies or the one in my signature. Ps go for the 12.1 branch, more stable then the 12 branch.
Really?
I thought the whole point was Stables were signed off?
Nightlies also updated daily which is bewildering. I just want a stable Android 5.1 release really. I'm not especially interested in the "cutting edge".
Thanks

The thing is: a rom may work perfectly for me and for you it gives various problems.
Bugs vary from device to device.
For instance, most roms I have tried on my device have worked perfectly (Thankfully).
But I saw other people who reported various issues with the same rom.
You will have to try for yourself.
the GPE rom by Danvdh is one of the most stable roms I have tried. It's still 5.0.1 though.
Resurrection Remix with Alucard kernel also works fine for me.
You might also try FlexOS. People say it has nice battery life.
AICP was also stable for me.
SaberMod CM12.1 stable too. But haven't tried it for some time.
They are all based on CM12.1.
You might also try the official CM12.1 Optimized build.

I'd rather stick with a stable ROM that's been signed off and had some quality control applied to it for that very reason. I prefer to just install a ROM and be done with it (maybe upgrading every now and again OTA) .
Like you say otherwise you could be fine (probably) or maybe not.

Interesting idea. Is this much more optimised for the S4 than the regular CM12.1 nightlies?
Being a fork isn't there a chance it'll get out of sync with the CM12.1 nightlies?

The optimized builds are developed by the same developer as the nightlies for the s4. So they pretty much go head to head.
Oh nice thanks.
Do the latest CM12.1 nightlies have the ability to turn the S4 legacy Menu button into an App-Switcher button? It's irritating having to hold down the Home button to switch between apps.
Lastly, is there anything major left in CM11 not in CM12.1 now? Is there a list somewhere?
I understand missing features is one of the reasons a CM12.1 Snapshot hasn't been released.

Seeing as android M is close development for CM12.1 will stop at some point and CM13 will start.

+1 for the CM12.1 Optimized build. I had low mobile signal which resulting in big battery drain in the otherwise awesome Danvdh 5.0.1 GPE rom. Had to ditch it.

Why are the optimized builds so far behind? The latest CM12.1 optimized build for the S4 looks to be 2015-06-16 but there's a regular CM12.1 nightly dated 2015-06-25.

WILL i9500 GET A STABLE RELEASE OF CM 12.1 ?

How do you think, is there any chance for ja3g to get a stable release? Nightlies started rolling out once in 2 days already. Does this mean it is almost abandoned? Or closer to a stable release? 
 @Alberto96 , may I have your opinion on this also?

Why do you want a "stable" version? It's only a label. If a rom works then it works. It doesn't matter if it's labeled: Alpha, beta, stable, nightlies etc.

+1 to this, also i will add, the i9500 ja3g has exynos CPU and the drivers are not released, so there be always more problems to solve issues or to get an stable version of CM.
Cyanogenmod have dropped the "stable" naming label a while back. From then on releases will be named either "nightly" or "snapshot"/"milestone"(M). Any specific device will only get a Milestone/snapshot release if there is an active developer for that specific device and if that developer marks the device as ready when builds are run. Many of the devices currently getting nightly builds have no active developers and as such will not receive milestone builds. This seems to be the case for the I9505, not sure about yours, though.

Well, I had a clear reason to start this question because , actually, the ROM works, but until now, it is full of bugs. And we all know about it.
