Hye, can I ask something?
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.

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.

Okay, i've been out of the scene for a really long time.
I'm currently running MIUI and so far it's the best rom i've used and most importantly, other than the sh!tty camera, IT WORKS!
my question is: I just logged onto the MIUI.US site and there appears to be an update for the Sensation. Problem is, I cant determine what version of MIUI i'm currently running and whether or not the available ROM is a good update path for me or not.
There's two versions available:
HTC Sensation (AOSP based)Version: 2.6.29
HTC Sensation 4GVersion: 2.7.13
Here's what the settings in my phone say:
Android Version: 2.3.7
Kernel version: 2.6.35.13 Trinity-S4g
Build number: MIUI-20224
IIRC way back when, the MIUI.US version number I downloaded was 2.2.4 or something.
Can someone tell me where I'm at currently and whether or not the available update is worth updating to, based on stability, features and whatnot?
Thanks!
I'm just a new newbie of android world. Got a HTC Desire S and waited for the ICS as upgrade.
Waited to much, installed a ROM myself.
The question is: I've tried several roms with several differences and I was wondering, can someone tell me the difference between the "build numbers" 3.04.401.1 and 4.10.405.1? Is it that much important?
Build numbers is the version of the Rom and the higher the number, the newer version it is
Sent from my HTC Desire S
Build numbers are second to priority when it comes to ROMs, IMHO.
For me, the heirarchy is as follows:
1. Android OS version
2. Build number/version
Build numbers are used to identify which is much "newer" than the other of their own respective Android OS version. Almost the same can be said on the Android OS.
Example, you have an Android OS version of 4.0.4 on a Build Number 1.00.000 from a Device A port. Then on the other hand, you have an Android OS of 4.0.3 on a Build Number 9.00.000 from a Device B port.
Which one should be the newest/latest/updated?
I'm pretty sure you already know the answer.
Now, I'm thinking that your next question will be "Which one is better or faster?"..
It will all come down to a matter of self preference. Only you can decide which version/rom works for you, depending on how you use it, or which one is faster.

I now have a NextBook Premium7SE
http://www.nextbookusa.com/productdetail.php?product_id=14
Model Next7P12-8G
Currently running Android 4.0.4, Kernel 2.6.34 [email protected] #59 Build Number IMM76I.v005
Is there any way to get Jelly Bean on it?
I have done some searching but there doesn't seem to be too much info about this device.
This post suggested that there might be a CyanogenMod10 available for it
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/62158-next7p12-aka-next7pse/#entry358464
However, I can't find anything on freaktab.
When I go to the NextBook support page, their downloads page only has Next7P updates for serial numbers that start with YF10 and YF09
http://www.nextbookusa.com/download.php
Mine starts with YFG04 (according to the sticker on the back) so I'm worried that if I load a custom ROM I wont be able to revert to the out of the box state.
Is there a way to revert to the out of the box state if I load a custom ROM?
Is there any other way to get Jelly Bean on this device?
Hey guys,
So I haven't picked up my tf300t for quite a long time and I'm on CyanogenMod nightlys and I go to update it but it keeps looping the asus logo on me.
running
CyanogenMod 10.1-20130624-NIGHTLY-tf300t
I try and use goomanager to update my nightly to the newest nightly build "cm-10.2-20130904-NIGHTLY-tf300t.zip" and when it reboots it just loops on me.
So thankfully i've backed up myself and restore to my current build cm10.1-20130624nightly.
Anways, so I install the latest TWRP build
openrecovery-twrp-2.6.1.0-tf300t-JB.blob 2013-08-29 21:45:14 PDT
thinking that that might help, seeing as how i'm running android v. 4.2.2
It doesn't help. So i try and flash the 9/4 cm 10.2 nightly via TWRP and it still won't work.
I'm just really wondering what step I'm missing. I know I've probably missed something obvious so I don't mind if you guys lay into me for being a moron. I just would like to be running the latest CM10.2 nightly out there right now.
TIA you guys, I'll keep searching these threads for help, but if you can, tell this idiot OP what he's missing and what he should do. Stay classy yall

It might be an issue with the version of your bootloader, to use CM 10.2 yo need to update your bootloader and to do so yo need update to the latest stock and then update to the custom rom you wan´t.
Also is it unlock, if you you need to install twrp 2.5
