Just so we're clear, I have simply collected some links to help people use the CM6 nightly builds. I had NO part in the creation of this software and I take no credit for it. No one asked me to collect this information, and if anyone has a problem with it being available they can PM me and I'll remove it.
All of this information is present throughout this Cyanogenmod forum thread. I've just brought it together to make sense of it.
NIGHTLY BUILDS ARE PRE-TEST BUILDS AND ARE NOT GUARANTEED TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL, I NOR THE CYANOGENMOD TEAM ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING YOU DO WITH THIS INFO! THIS IS *ONLY* FOR PEOPLE WHO WANT TO TRY AN INCOMPLETE AND UNSTABLE CM6 FROYO ROM.
This is for Dream/Sapphire (Magic) and Old Radio ONLY. Don't flash this sort of thing unless you really know what you're doing.
Since I am just collating the information I probably won't be able to help you troubleshoot. I have flashed the latest nightly myself and it runs, but it's very unstable.
Anyway, long waiver done, here's the info:
The nightly builds can be found here. You'll probably want the latest .zip. These builds are created by the CyanogenMod team, if you want up-to-the-minute news I'd suggest following Cyanogen, Wesgarner, ChrisSoyars, and Koush on twitter.
Early 32A port kernels can be found here. You'll want the .zip that corrosponds to the nightly build you downloaded. These are being developed by bcrook (aka 'bcrook88' on Twitter)
Google Apps can be flashed from this. Not sure where they're from or who made them available. It flashed fine for me, but GMaps FCs whenever it's opened, very unstable. This version of google apps has also been suggested as more complete and better, but I haven't tried it myself.
Very much OT, but are you actually running the SPL 1.76.2007 together with the old radio, as your sig seems to indicate?
I think by old radio, he means the one that comes with dangerSPL, the one ripped from the engineering Magics? (i'm not sure where it came from) rather than that new one that someone found in an HTC rom, and everyone flashed.
Oops, nope my sig is wrong. Should be HBOOT 1.33.2010
Also if you feel like compiling , there is a wiki article here http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php/Compile_for_dream
Edit: Sorry its only for the dream :-(
Thanks, flashing now. Any update on what works/doesn't work?
I haven't spent much time with it yet, but 3G works. I would imagine Wifi, GPS and Camera are the usual culprits to be broken, but I haven't tried them yet. You can always check the check-ins and bug tracker that the Cyanogenmod team uses to see what they're working on.

Main known issues with nightly builds include GPS/Maps FC, camera and video broken, voice input FC..But speed is insane for pre-test build..Can't wait for CM6
I have a quick question, and it may seem dumb. But im kinda stuck.
I understand how to update the spl to what is required, but where can i get the radio 3.22.23.18 ? i cant seem to find it anywhere and thats the only problem im having.
i can load up this rom and its great, i just dont get a signal lol.
thanks.
I'm not using an unusual radio version or anything. Just use this tool to change your radio (relatively) safely: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=677045
Couple more things, u can actually flash pershoots 32a .34 kernels on top of this and they run fine. Also if frf83-mdpi apps are giving users issues, ive ported frf91 gapps to mdpi and so far havent heard complaints and im running it as well so it shud b gud.

Sorry but if you want stable, fast, you need Amon_RA's ROM.
Cyanogen Roms rocks but this one is more trouble free

Not to sound like a smartass, but don't forget that there will ALWAYS be people having problems with this or that and every ROM, including the official ones, is essentialy just a work in progress.
Hey dude, try this:

Maxqc- Thx for the link, some ppl having issues with this rom too, I guess that I will have to test it too see how it goes.
Donut with exchange does that exist for magic?
I allow myself to follow up on the request in this thread. I have searched a bit around - what I am looking for is a donut for magic 32A with exchange abilities. I need corporate mail as well as calendar. Does that exist - do I overlook something? I want to go beyond 1.5 because of the ability of using new programs. I could wait for Eclair, but it seems not to be near stability at the moment, and maybe the problem with camera will not be solved? I don't need sense..
I've been searching and trying many different roms for the MT3g that are android 2.1, and there are many many talented developers on this website it's too hard to just try them all.
Can anyone point out there most "stable" and working rom for 2.1 32B they have use / are using
It's been annoying having to change and reflash different roms every other week for something new / need something else to work that I wonder if anyone has their preferred roms they could point out
Thanks in advance

What's the difference between
CyanogenMod 7.1 RC1 => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1240177
and
CyanogenMod 7.1 Nightly Builds => http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1268304
Try to search for it, but still cannot find the difference.
Thanks.
Ummm, the differences come...get ready....nightly.
Sorry, not trying to be an ass, but couldnt resist. Nightlies are updated more or less nightly with new tweaks and features. RC is the last known stable, non-experimental build. If you follow the nightly thread, I'm sure someone will be posting links to the changelog.
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium
It's okay. Still newbie here.
Yes, the word nightly. I know that, but after try searching the difference, still know nothing.
So, what do you mean is, nightly builds is official rom from cyanogenmod?
They are both official, but nightlies contain changes done to improve the roms, ofcourse doesn't always mean that it improves. Those are what I like to think of as "experimental". RC stands for release candidate. Rc's have been known to be the latest stable rom that is ready for public testing. Still, rc's are just released to receive approval, once everyone likes it, it may become official, or Stable release. You'll know when they're unofficial, they will state so in the threads name.
RC[Release Candidate] is the Stable Release While Nightly Builds are often modified with new tweaks and always improved, which means nightly are quick updated
CyanogenMod RC and Nightly Builds explained
In the world of CyanogenMod...
7.1 = indicates the version number of the mod
RC = Release Candidate, mostly bug-free, also known as "stable", change log usually available
Nightly Builds are
Beta
No change-log. Cyanogen fans accept that they would rather a Modder/Developer spend time working on a new version, than taking precious time to write change logs documenting every thing they did/tweaked.
Not released at a certain time (night).
Not released EVERY night, could be weekly.
A new "nightly" version is released, when the developer/modder is ready to upload it.
Any inquiries of when a new RC or nightly will be available will receive the following tin-can reply, "it'll be ready when its ready."
"Nightly" CyanogenMod fans/users are like Pit Bulls who haven't been fed in 3 days. They look forward to a new version every "night", even if its bugged and bad. If the a new "nightly" released version is very buggy, the CyanogenMod fan/user will simply restore/revert to an earlier CyanogenMod version that worked, whether its nightly or RC version, simply using the "restore" of a backup function. All CyanogenMod fans are advised to backup, before doing any changes. Those that don't, usually regret it, and won't do it again.
Those Developers/Modders working tirelessly to improve upon the CyanogenMod are doing it for the most part on their own time late at night. Bugs expected, because it wasn't thoroughly tested because so many CyanogenMod fans are eager and hungry for the latest version with cool features and tweaks and hope to not wait a month+ for an official-mostly'debugged-version(RC).
Each Android Mobile requires dedicated Modders/Developers, because every mobile has different ram/rom/processor/buttons/irks/camera and requires a special build. Therefore if you have an outdated mobile (ie. G1) that no dedicated Modders/Developers are using, you may never see an CyanogenMod update again.
In the world of updating a Android OS, if you fix/add one feature, it may/will break/not-work another feature. Usually the first thing to break/not-work the camera &/or the video camera &/or the front camera. If you're planning to become a Developer/Modder, expect a lot of frustration.

In answer to the qusetion; nothing.
The RC1 in the link is an official port for Cyanogen7 that is so much of a recent development that it is not yet included in the CM Nightly releases that have already been explained. I'm guessing that it will still be a port until after this round of updates when Nexx's excellent "RC1" will finally be fully integrated into the Cm device family.
As very little can happen to a nightly build sometimes, Nexx just can't be arsed to update nightly, he just does it when there's a biggy in the changelog.
Keep up the good work Nexx. v105 is Solid.

I recently purchased a photon Q, unlocked the bootloader and rooted it. All went well until I tried installing a new ROM. I've tried installing both Carbon and CM11 but with no luck. Thankfully, I've been keeping backups of my stock ROM so I'm still able to restore the phone and use it.
I'm currently using cwm 6.0.1.3 , and I had been trying to install the new ROMs via rom manager. I'll try to get more error details up Friday as that's when I'll attempt to install the new roms.
I tried installing the latest nightlies for both CM11 and Carbon.
Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
CWM 6.0.1.3 doesn't support SELinux and so it doesn't support any KitKat ROMs (CM11 and newer).
Use TWRP or OR as a recovery.
I wondered if that was the problem. How would I go about putting twerp on my phone? Do any threads cover that? Would it cause an issue with CWM or would I have to get rid of that in order to install TWRP?
Thanks, by the way.

The TWRP page for the Photon Q goes over how to flash TWRP.
http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/137
Any recovery you flash will simply overwrite the previous one. Simply flashing TWRP as normal will just replace CWM.
Same with OpenRecovery, simply flashing OR over CWM will replace CWM with OR.
Let us know if you have questions. I like the fastboot method, but there was an app in the Play Store TWRP Manager - which I have never used, but should work fine.
Awesome! I replaced cwm with twrp last night. I'm going to try installing Carbon either tonight or tomorrow. Thanks a bunch for the help guys!
Well, it worked...sorta. i tried installing Carbon, but there seemed to be some kind of bug that didn't let the wifi turn on(along with some performance issues) and I have horrible reception at my place so that didn't get too far in setting up the phone.
So I installed the latest CM 11 snapshot and that's working great! Pretty awesome to be on the latest version of Android for a change!
Still want to try Carbon though, do they have more stable releases or do you just have to go out on faith with the nightlies?

I run Carbon as my daily driver, no problems.
Post in the thread if you have issues. As always, clean flash before reporting any.
I posted this in a couple other threads as well but since you guys are talking about it... do you think the Carbon is superior to the CM10/11/12 roms? I've found mine to be laggy lately. Maybe it always was I'm not sure.. lol but I was thinking of going to 10.2.1 .. someone on another thread said he did that and it was like having a different phone .. it was so fast.

Please quit cross-posting. You are severely diluting any community effort to respond to you by posting the same question in so many threads...
Truth be told, YOU need to make the decision for yourself. Take a backup of your current setup and try something new, you have nothing to lose but some time. If you don't like it, restore the backup you took (please please take a backup IN RECOVERY before making any changes).
LOL sorry lets not kid ourselves. There are 4 active threads since May 24 in this sub category of the Photon Q. My intention was not to spam-post, however given the slow movement of the forum I posted in a few relevant threads in the thinking that those who were active would have subscribed and were maybe notified Sorry if I did a few too many... for tonite I probably have had a few too many Coronas (Cervesa Mas Fina!).
This device is in a production environment. There is not much room for any downtime on the device so I do not have that luxury of playing with it. All these Photon Q's I would think have the same specs so there must be a general consensus or benchmark'ed result as to which ROM offers best performance with the usability balanced. I do need more of these devices moving forward.
Funny thing, I live within 50 miles of Blackberry's campus and they have failed us yet again. Their passport phone is a little more reliable and less buggy than last years Q or Z models, however I'm still lacking a row of numbers and a dang home and back key. When are they gonna figure it out! Just using the gesture/swipe to get to the homescreen doesn't appeal to me. You can't give me a home button? Anyway #offtopic a little.. but is there no general consensus or are they so close its difficult to pick a winner?

Have tried a number of ROM's carbon, PAC, Cmod, stock ICS, & JB.
Tried different flavours & unofficial versions.
I'm now happier than ever, running stripped JB - removed bloat ware & other obsolete APK's, plus added a few niceties using xposed framework.
Phone is fast - as in no slow downs & pauses, like I was getting with carbon & PAC, battery is unbelievably long life - using an xposed battery saver module, plus I added extended power menu options.
The main killer of all the other custom ROM's is the persistent Bluetooth error during calls. This is something that has been in the ROMs since Cmod wrote the first one, as all the other are built off of it.
If you don't require Bluetooth for calls, then go for it - personally I am finally happy with the JB stripped & tweaked stock.

Is there any method we can change the build number on the cm13 zip file we download to be able to install it on a newer version?
or is there any method for us to build the cyanogenmod 13 rom on our own(since everything is available)? It should help many people. Also if possible I would like to build an aosp rom for our devices. I have another stupid question, please bear with me. Someone has created the cyanogenmod rom for us and it is official, but they did not make any posts in the xda forums .
Im curious about some of this stuff, too. Especially the reason why you can't flash on the newer firmware, and why no CM thread.

exactly! hope to find out soon.
newer builds have a different bootloader. probably just the guy hasnt noticed because he uses cm13 which doesnt touch the bootloader
