Hello dear friends !
here arose a question for me , about calling some custom or official ROM's ; what is the difference between ordinary releases and Nightlies releases of them.
It may seem a simple question, but I will be thankful to everyone answer me....
thnx a LOOOOOT !

hi
daily updates are nightly, every month the RC release that contains more 'updates nightly. After when a rom does not have bugs and 'head is released stable
Nightlies are like experimental or starting releases.the people interested try it,and the developers work hard to make it stable and usable for day to day use.i am a noob

Ordinary Releases or sometimes in roms RC's are largely redone versions of the older versions with usually more features, bug fixes, and sometimes a complete rebuild/overhaul of the ROM. They are usually released from every few weeks to every few months. Nightlies are released daily or near daily with small bugfixes and sometimes new features. Sometimes could be a redo of an unstable build from the day before due to problems like bootloops and others which are due to a bug or a kernel problem as I used to deal with.

Sorry to dig this thread up, but I didn't want to start a new thread about nightlies when I found this one!
I am currently running CM 10.1.3 on my Xperia Tablet Z (SGP311) and was tempted to install the latest 'nightly' version... CM 10.2.
What I was wondering was... is there any chance my device could need flashing back to a stable build from installing nightly builds? It took a lot of perseverance to get CM 10.1.3 running on my tablet and since Cyanogenmod can now be updated as if it was the standard android (I mean you can just check for updates and install without any hassle with flashing) I want to avoid having to flash my device again.

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.

Hello XDA,
after more than one year flashing recent ROMs over at „Development“ I'm searching for a real stable one for HBOOT 2.15. I don't like Sense-UI. At the moment I'm running CyanogenMod Stable 10.2, but I get a lot of reboots when using Google Maps. Don't know wether this is an problem with GMaps or GPS in general. I also encountered this problem with previous versions of CyanogenMod and some unofficial forks. Supe-CID, S-Off and various firmware-updates are out of reach as the tutorials on XDA don't work for me and I'm not capable of solving these problems myself.
The ROM doesn't have to be the latest version of Android or even in active development, as long as it might work well on my phone (S4). Just sick of constant reboots .
Thanks in advance
I am using PAC man ROM version 4.3.0 for a month now and its working fine for me. I am using the stable version. No problems whatsoever. Just visit their website and take a look. Its available for both s4 and s3 devices so wouldn't be a problem.

I've been using Beanstalk 4.4 for a few days now and haven't had a single reboot. There are a couple Beanstalk-specific tweaks and features not working, but all of the core Android functionality seems quite stable.
I have a WiFi Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0"). I bought this for the SOLE purpose of swapping it into my vehicle as the main media source - radio, video, navigation. I need to root it for a few pieces of software to make this an easy swap (mostly need it to behave like a newer LG phone where you double tap to wake up) so I need a custom kernel and/or ROM to enable this feature via software I guess... So, if I wanted a custom ROM, what is the most STABLE ROM to date. I have used probably 15 different ROM's between my S3, Note2 and older phones and with just about every one of them, there was some random problem with glitches or restarts... Just want this to be as seamless as possible.
I have found Slimkat to be very stable on my 5113. I wanted a tablet that had a very light ROM and Slimkat delivered.

Slimkat had some sound issues on my 5113, Omnirom works great for me!
I think the best way is to install one, make a backup in TWRP and then you can wipe and try other roms.
Running CyanogenMod 10.2.1 for the last year and it's lite and super stable, no glitches nothing wierd. Everything works. W/great battery life. Check out

I am going through the process of assessing the last official release for the Tab 2 7" and 10.1" (4.2.2) and comparing them to the last official stable release from CM and the CM11 nightlies.
I can tell you that so far, as much as I hate the TW interface, the last official stock ROM is stellar for battery life. I seem to remember (But been too long to trust the memories) that the last official stable CM10 was really really good on battery and overall performance/stability.
I am commenting on the progress in the p5110 experimental forum at CM if you want to follow. my user name there is Frontlinegeek.
The CM11 nightlies are stable. I have been running them since December and never had any issues.

Oh they are plenty stable but there is a known KitKat battery drain issue in it that has not been fixed. You need to install a custom Kernel to get around the issue till they finally fix it in the official ROM downloads from CM.
I used Dhollmen's Kernel to get past the issue.
I had stupidly not done any research on XDA over the issue and have since moved back to CM11 nightlies and the mentioned Kernel and the battery life is stellar. Again.

Interesting, because in the two years I have owned my tab 2 and the 6 months I've owned my LG g2, I have never had to flash a custom kernel. I guess I just get lucky. [emoji41]
Ya, I never had an issue on CM10 or with CM11 in the early days but it cropped up in the spring and I was far too tolerant of the issue all this time. Only learned that it can be an issue this week.
Hello all
I have decided I will install free xperia cyanogen rom on my device as soon as I unlock my bootloader since Cyanogenmod 12 is still being debugged by varun and I will install it when all problems are fixed.
I would like to know where can I get information on the latest builds as I would love to know what bugs these new versions have.
The only thing I know is that fxp 325 was a good build but I would like feedback on the latest versions since from what I heard, there is no guarantee that it is/will be stable. I have checked the q/a here on the forums but I can't really gather much information from there. So what do you guys think? Best bug free (or almost bug free) builds?
It seems that since a couple of new builds in, there's suddenly a stream open to the official OTA updates in the CM updater in the unofficial builds of @mo976, are these builds similar or identical? What's the difference?
I might be mistaken though, but wanted to be sure about this..
Thanks a lot, I'm enjoying these builds either way mo976. :good:
Difference is, one is official, and the other isn't. Best to rely on the official one because of the amount of people working on it.
Thanks man :good:
