General:
These are UNOFFICIAL CM12.1 Lollipop Nightlies brought to you by Open Desire Project and TeamCodefire as a continuum to CM 11.0 and 12.0 builds. Builds are generated automatically on Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun. Process starts around 00:30 PST/PDT. If it fails, then there will be no build until the reason for failure is taken care of which can take time. Last 7 nightlies will be kept on the server. If you want a longer history of them, you are free to archive them yourself.

FAQ:
Q: I tried to flash the ROM and got this:

Code:
Installing update...
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /sdcard/..path od ROM.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Or I'm having other recovery issues.
A: Download and install the latest recovery here.

Q: I've used HTC Dev unlock and flashed the rom but it won't boot. What should I do?
A: You need to extract boot.img from the zip and flash it via fastboot. If you don't have fastboot executable anymore from flashing recovery, install Android SDK platform tools (Linux users should find it from distro's package management) and then reboot to bootloader, open command prompt and navigate to the location you extracted your boot.img and type:

Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img

You need to repeat this everytime you flash new version of this rom to ensure everything will work fluently as long as you have just basic HTC Dev unlock.

Q: Where are my developer and performance options?
A: http://goo.gl/jpS8r

Q: Feature X doesn't work, let's make 1000 posts about it to annoy everyone.
A: Please, dont. Use search and then use search again and only then report your problem with necessary logs. [Logcat guide, thanks to MusikMonk for the link]

Q: Hey, my old phone is running the latest Android version, i want to thank someone!
A: Press thanks button here

Q: I hate you for not fixing this issue X!!!
A: I love you too.

Q: How I can build CM12.1 myself?
A: Setup a basic Android build environment.

Code:
mkdir cm12.1
cd cm12.1/
repo init -u git://github.com/CyanogenMod/android.git -b cm-12.1
mkdir -p .repo/local_manifests
wget https://github.com/OpenDesireProject/android/raw/cm-12.1/local_manifest.xml -O .repo/local_manifests/local_manifest.xml
repo sync
. build/envsetup.sh
lunch cm_saga-userdebug
mka bacon

Once the build finishes you'll find your goods from out/target/product/saga/ directory.

Q: Something about something something something.
A: Ask the guy/gal next to you.

Yeah, I fell asleep before the build finished and I had chance to say the same here that I already said on the ace thread:

First build is now on the mirrors. Expect everything to be broken, be thankful for anything that works. There's no schedule for these nightlies yet as I haven't really had time to think how I'll juggle 3 different versions so they don't start compiling at the same time. New builds will come whenever I feel like making one until things settle down a bit and build schedule is decided.

Thanks, I got the same thing as you mention plus android keyboard FC. However, it is the first built, just booted up is alright. The rest is leaving for Mustaavalkosta to take care of. If DHD is working, DS should be working as well. Thanks for Mustaavalkosta hard work.

Hi Mustaavalkosta, CM-12.1-20150403-UNOFFICIAL-saga.zip faced the same issues as previous built, Android keyboard FC, not enough space for the system. There should be somethings wrong because the internal storage still has 1.03 GB available as well as my SDCard still has 14 GB available space. However, front camera is working on this built. I am wondering if it is possible to copy files related to camera from this built to CM-12 and which files should it be replaced. I am trying to produce logcat without success. I am sorry about that. Thank you very much for your great effort.
Thanks, Mustaavalkosta, I got the answer by replacing Camera2.apk from this built to CM-12 by installing using root explorer and front camera is now working on my device, CM-12 Rom.

@qd42: Shouldn't be a problem since it's a minor Android update. But since this is in alpha state I'd suggest you wipe.

Same for me: "not enough space", keyboard FC on first boot (works good now in German). Front-camera works flawlessly. I'll be testing more.

Well, I'm tried to make update from CM12 and I don't reccommend to do this to others because of various system errors after boot like "android.process.acore errors".

How can i install this rom ?
I am using TWRP 2.8.5.2 as Recovery
I have swiped evertyhing i could on the phone
When i choose to install this ROM i get the Message: script succeeded result was /system

After flash boot.img, the Cyanogenmod-Logo still dont disappear after 10 Minutes ... (while booting)

€dit: Forget it. After 15 mins the Logo disappeared and the system has booted. But my SIM was not detected ...

€dit: SIM was detected ... but the phone tells me, i have less than 250mb free space ... wth ? I thought after a full wipe it should be at least 300mb free space ... :confused:

It's a bug. As a temporary workaround remove /system/media/bootanimation.zip and warning should go away.
Thanks MUstaavalkosta. So far, It is working fine. Flashed superSU v.2.48 beta makes it better. Ringtone is good, front camera is good. Just keyboad and google service have stop sign showed up some time. In fact they are still working. Thanks for your kind contribution.

Hey guys, last time I flashed this the opposite side was not able to hear me upon my first call and the call quality was terrible when I returned the call after.

Of course I was in an area with good signal coverage.

Was this solved lately by any chance?

    Hi guys, how's development going? Seems a bit slow now :(

    Was just wondering if my previous logcats are useful? Or applications crashes "don't matter" (in the sense you'll only look into OS features - i.e. wifi, calls, sensors...)?

    Keep up the great work :good:
    I'm quite busy in my life right now and will likely be so for a while. I can't say anything for the others because we don't really work that tightly together - people just do things they want to do when they want to do them. I'm personally mainly interested in fixing WebView / RenderThread crash for the time being but it's not progressing very fast due to the aforementioned life situation among other things. I'm not making a stress source out of this project though so things progress at their own pace like it has been the past 3 years I've been involved with ace community. I'm sorry for any possible misunderstandings if this hasn't been clear.

    Our server is now upgraded to the next level. I emptied whatever donations I had received earlier and recently from saga users and in addition to upgrading the server I renewed it for another 3 months so it's now paid until 29/02/2016. I also renewed opendesireproject.org domain for another year from earlier donations sitting on my account and domain is now valid until 30/11/2016. Thanks for the contributions that will enable us to provide a bit better UX for everyone! :)

    I'm in the process of uploading more of saga builds to dl.opendesireproject.org. Tomorrow's 12.1 build should have OTA app included so you can receive notifications of new builds, download them and even flash them with it (S-ON users still need to flash boot.img manually, there's nothing I can do about that). If 12.1 OTAs prove to be working ok, I'll probably extend this support to 12.0 builds too in the near future.

    Edit: Warning: OTA flashing doesn't create backups before flashing. Keep this in mind especially with nightlies that can break whenever without warning.

    Is it theoretically possible to use the open source freedreno drivers? They support OpenGL ES 2.0 on Adreno 205. If so, they might resolve some graphical issues (if there are any left while using the new adreno blobs).
    Yeah, I guess it's possible but if we ask whether it's possible that I can make them work, that's a completely different story. :)

    ps. I just heard back from Lapyyyyyy about cm-13.0 and apparently saga isn't worse than ace at this point which is nice. Maybe public nightlies will appear in the coming weeks.

    Freedreno is not a good idea.
    It will probably add more issues and glitches.
    Also, it does not fully support android phones and you need to write or edit the panel driver (maybe some other files) to work with it.
