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.
What do I know? http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?type=nightly&device=saga :s
Tablet: Asus TF10
OS: Android Jelly Bean (custom EOS 3 #79
Question:
I've been running a custom rom in my tablet for a week or so... it just updated via the goo app. I'm wondering if the changes made to the nightly builds are tracked in some way for us end users?
Blessings.
Answering my own question, as Google at last yielded to me this:
http://jenkins.teameos.org/view/Tablets/job/tf101/changes
Basically, it appears to be a running thread of changes to the EOM 3 Rom. I may not understand it all, but it is better than nothing.
Ive been looking for a team dirt 4.2.2 rom and ive found the developer Mazda's page but his link wasnt working so i was unable to find it i would appreciate if someone would kindly send
me the link/download.
While browsing through his downloads pages, I came across what appears to be the Team DIRT ROM.
Code:
goo.im/devs/Mazda/Jewel/DirtyUnicorns
However, when I tried to run it on my own phone, it seemed to be nothing but a copy of JellyTime. Also, it nuked my recovery. Not recommended.
There are other great 4.2.2 ROM's for the HTC Inspire, like Mustaavalkosta's unofficial 10.1 builds and the latest JellyTime. Check them out and see which one you like. (I recommend Musta's.)
Hi there, there's no thread for the official Cyanogenmod 11 yet so I thought I'd ask here, I was on an unofficial release for weeks now, and I just installed the first release, which I believe they're calling a Snapshot, and in doing so I lost a bunch of stuff, like my camera for example, and many gapps, but I still have like half of the gapps? Has anyone else tried CM11 official yet and experienced this? Any help would be appreciated. I didn't make a backup (foolishly) before doing this so I cant just restore, but if no one knows the issue, would it be as simple as installing my original CM11 zip over the top like I did this one to sort of restore?
Hey all! I'm looking for a CM rom that works with PAD (Puzzle and Dragons). On a lot of the CM roms, PAD has an infinite download loop, which is a deal breaker for me. If you could give me the name of the rom and the kernel you're using, that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you all for your time!
If it doesn't work on cm, or a bunch of cm based roms....seems pretty clear it's just not compatible with cm....And likely that will be the same for all cm based roms.
P&D stopped working after the M10 snapshot which was released back in September (16). There were some notable major framework changes, and I believe these are what lead the app to stop working/cause the infinite download loop.

The only workaround known at this time is to install a version older than that date.
