Nightlies means the builds which are stable,minor bugs or bugless and can be used as daily driver they are the upper versions of Alfa, beta and RCs (Release candidates)..also it's important to get official update because with updated sources we get OTA updates while the builds are same as Nighlies..just the difference is it gets officially updated directly from the OEM
P.S : it's not a stupid question to ask in correct sections of xda

To add to this: RC's are in CyanogenMod language more stable than nightlies. Nightlies are in our case stable (thanks to our devs), but on many devices, nightlies are unstable.
CyanogenMod: nightlies -> monthly/milestone/m -> release candidate -> stable.
However, CM wants to have two channels in the future: stable & development. In the near future, you can choose between daily nightlies & milestone releases on a two weekly base.

hello guys
i have been running CM9 RC0 (cm-9.0.0-RC0-crespo-signed.no.v5) on my GSM Nexus S OCed to 1.2GHz (ondemand governor)
and now i found out that they have released RC1 and so i downloaded it to give it a try.
but before doing so i have some questions in mind regarding RC1
that if it is worth flashing instead of CM9 RC0?
what are the possible added features of settings that are of more benefit than the previous version ?
please help me as i am just a rookie in these rom flashing and Overclocking
Just thinking that new version always worth to flash otherwise why do they release it? Working on ROM is not something easy

It's newer cm code compiled into a Nightly release. Some nightlies are more stable than others, read the changelogs and bug for nightlies and you'll have an idea of what is fixed in a release and what is broken by an update.

ok great so does it mean that it should be more faster than the Rc0 or the nightly builds ? because CyanogenMod is MEANT to be a PERFORMANCE ROM so there must be some more speedy update to it in simple words right ?
Let me try this again, Nightlies are just the latest code compiled into a Rom, there's no guarantee you'll see any difference between one nightly or another so you have to read the changelog to see what code was changed.

No, nightlies are automatically compiled whether there are new changes or not. The ones that are labeled RC2 or stable build are ones they feel that is good enough for release. Any new changes in nightlies can introduce new bugs so usually its test at your own risk but for the most part they should run fine.
Pretty much its like saying this build is stable, then they say oh lets change this to see if it helps with this but it ends up messing up so they revert back to the stable build. RC2 is more of a milestone and with the stable 9.0.0 build that one they announced was going to be the last build as they're going to be working on CM10/Jellybean. It will still get nightlies but most of the time additional changes will either be minor (that doesnt affect you) or critical (a bug that needs to be fixed). :good:
CM-10 stable has been released on Nov 15. Why are there still nightly roms coming out these days? Shouldn't they work on cm-10.1 now?
Because there's always room for improvements, no software is perfect and somebody would stick to 4.1 instead of pushing his/her device too much with 4.2

It could also be that these updates are leading into the 10.1 builds .... and also there is always something that needs getting fixed

Because stable != final. Misconception a lot of people seem to have.
Hey guys, I need some help regarding various KitKat Roms. I used to keep myself updated with xda an year back, but now as its my 12th going on, I couldn't do so, and I don't even have enough time to read those 1000s of posts!:banghead:
So plz help me differentiate b/w mainly these two roms-
1) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2572199
And
2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2589303
Below are my queries--
1) Which of them is more stable for daily use?
2) I read that speaker phone isn't working. That means the normal mode(when we pickup call) or when we switch it to loudspeaker?
3) In the 1st thread posted above, there are 3 builds- Jenkins build, OMINI Rom, and a build by hephappy. What's main diff. Between them??
Any help is very appreciated!
Also, please don't post posts like -- "Flash this its awesome!!"
Or,
"I use this, it'll blow your mind"
Suggestions from developers are more recommended

I use the one from mukulsoni as daily Driver and am totally ok with it, I chose is as the other one still sais that it's early experimental. If you use the sweetnsour Kernel and the newest Version (v5) you should be happy.I don't realy see any bigger troubles so I'd suggest you install it and see for yourself, as flashing doesn't take to long and before installing to much, you just check if the main Functions suit your needs

Talking when you pick up is fine just the switching to loudspeaker is supposed to not work. I never use loudspeaker in calls so I can't tell you if it's true but normal calling works
3) In the 1st thread posted above, there are 3 builds- Jenkins build, OMINI Rom, and a build by hephappy. What's main diff. Between them??

Can't really help you there, but it has as far as I know to do with the different defs working on it.
Hope this helped.

Jenkins build is original cm 11 build
Omni rom is different rom its based on omni sources its still in very early stage
so dont use them
Hephappy build is far old one
its just a preview version of kitkat
so dont use this one
IF u wanna use daily use jenkins cm 11 build
if u r intrested to try new rom
try omni
There's basically no difference between those two ROMs. Almost the same.
Both ROMs are pretty stable except battery drain and Bluetooth issue with some phones. And for SD-EXT, only link2sd works at the moment.
Yea. You cam talk normally by picking up the phone but won't hear anything in loudspeaker mode.
Jenkins is a kind of build server and Jenkins build are the builds built by it. You can set its source from Github and downloads from androidarmv6's jenkins.
Omni ROM is a kind of with many added features other than stock android or CyanogenMod. Its not much stable as of now. You can get experimental builds from here and submission tests here
Builds by Hephappy are the ones which Hephappy (a great developer) built. They were the first ones to have workinh KitKat. But not suitable for daily use. You can find them here (KitKat builds). Hephappy's folder (all builds)
Every build except the Omni ROM is pretty stable to use as daily driver. Omni to become stable soon :good:
Hope this helped you

what are the difference of official cyanogenmod 11 and fxp cyanogenmod 11?
As far as I know, now, there is no official CM support for Taoshan.
Only nightlies/unofficials.
The following people are maintainers for this device: freexperia, varun chitre. Source: Link

so freexperia works is thesame with cm?
It's separated from cmteam.
They just shared their work (for kitkat cm), like kernel, drivers and 'selfmade/customized/optimalized' cyanogenmod for our XL.
It's just support for Sony devices.

It depends on what you prefer. If you like updating every day then go for cyanogen nightlies if you prefer to update weekly then choose fxp builds. Its up to you.

i had the same question then i tried both of them_it turns out .. there isn't much difference ... but i found fxp better because of better camera performance although there is again not much difference_i found both of them stable .. and good for daily use as they have an awesome battery life (even better if u use thunderzap kernel) , music quality is same but you will experience a lil lag sometimes in official cm11
but the gaming performance is no good in both .. (i tried playing asphalt 8) i have tried each and every setting in various kernels but still no good_
