Anyone jumped from the current EOS 1.0 stable to the nightlies lately? Or vise versa.
I'd love to know how it went if there was any differences.
I've been happily on 1.0 for months but interested to see if there's any worthwhile improvements.
wingray 91 is great, and seems very stable.
I love the nightlies, especially #91, which is ICS 4.04, with their latest mods. Going from stable was same as from a nightly for me, just remember to flash the nightly along with the latest gapps, before you get out of rom manager, and make a backup prior to install that way you can always go back to how you were.

I am currently running CM7.1.0 RC encore and its been pretty stable, but I have been reading all the things people are doing with some the more recent nightlies. So I was wonder which nightly is RC1 based on and is worth the trouble updating to one of the more recent nightlies?
Thanks for your help
well, it's not. It's a stable release, so you should see it in that region.

It released on 06/27, so most likely be the nb115

you might have misread what version i am using. I am using 7.1RC1 = release candidate

thank you! would be worth while to update to a more recent nightly if so, which seems the most stable?
Phatdawg was right. The nightly, RC, and stable are different branches. They are not "based' off of each other. The stable is the one that should be (duh) stable. RC is pretty stable, but might have bugs. Nightlies have more bugs, but usually small ones that no one really notices. They also have cutting edge features.
well, you're best bet would be going with the nightly that was compiled before or the one after of the release date of the release candidate, in regards to figuring out which nightly it's closest in relationship to.

For real? I'm close to the firmware groups and I always do think stable/RC/nightly build are based on the same one.
Nightly is image that build nightly, do have some more registers for testing or some enhancement but not ready to release yet. Up to a point that they think it have enough juice, not officially for manufacturing but for customers testing out or "playing with", they will release as RC and to the dead-line, they must release a stable image for customer.
Other way to say is: nightly build is special image for internally use while RC is distributed to customers/power user groups and stable is for selling products.
This "stable" doesn't mean 100% stable but they do have all bugs that introduced previously, fixed.
After the stable release, they will continue on their work, enhancement, more features, so more nightly builds and the process keep going.
Is the Android ROM building process different to other images built such firmware for router/switches or WDTV Live boxes?
wow getting some great info, thanks. I usually just troll the forums.
one thing that I noticed is that with 7.1RC1 and OC emmc kernel 6/30 it is not stable at all if you mess with the stock voltages using nook tweaks.
My main concern is usb host included in 7.1RC1? Or is that feature built into the kernels?
Am I missing much by using the RC1. Don't get me wrong I get great battery life and great performance.
Are any of the nightlies safe to run off of a 16gb sandisk class 2?
If you are using the SD card to boot, sandisk is the gold standard.
Anyhow, there are things you are missing both good and bad.
Just a few versions ago when Daligrin updated the gpu stuff, the nooks all grinded to a halt, so people have to downgrade to prior or wait for the the gpu to be reverted to prior.
But at the same time you get the integrated kernel now and you have various other improvements.
To answer your question, I think it's a good idea to update to a nightly every so often that has a set of "upgrades" that you want or need.
I usually wait for a few encore specific code changes before I move to another nightly, but if there is a specific encore change that I want to try out I will upgrade to a nightly sooner. Just depends.

I'm having no issues. Running mine off AEbobby912's listing I saw in the Nook Tools thread.
300- step 1 is 0.8125v
600- step 2 is 1.0v
800- step 3 is 1.1875v
1100- step 4 is 1.25v
1200- step 5 is 1.2875
Just wondering what ROM people say is the most stable and dependable. I've heard 201 is the best out right now. Opinions?

At the moment I'd say the most problem free is MiRaGe. None of the stables or nightlies have the latest SOD fix in plus other fixes for things like phone signal icon showing up.
MiRaGe has these fixes in plus some other optimizations.

+1 for MiRaGe.
Merry Christmas
MiRaGe for me with the mods suggested. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1344873
+1 MiRaGe.
Since no more official CM nightlies are coming, I've also started using Mirage off SD boot. No problems so far.

I have done 2 Nooks with this and have found it pretty good except I can't seem to apply updates per the normal process. Haven't needed to yet (didn't use the updated theme because it wouldn't apply)
@bobstro CM tweeted awhile back (shortly after AOSP released ICS source 4.0.1) that stable CM 7.2 was in the works still. I believe they are finalizing stability issues while also working on the new CM9 simultaneously. It's just that most devs are playing with the new source right now, getting preliminary work done to set up CM9.
But as far as recommendations go, Mirage Kang is solid. Just be sure to rename phone.apk to phone.apk.bak for increased battery life.
I also recommend LauncherPro, however, with this ROM, I cannot get versions newer than 0.8.3 to install.

I'll definitely check it out when it becomes available. n253 was giving me grief that Mirage seems to have cleared up in the meantime!

I'm definitely looking forward to checking out CM9 as well.
Apparently I haven't been paying attention. Looks like my Nook is still running CM7 stable 7.0.2 and while I have been really happy with it. I think its time for an upgrade. I purchased the Galaxy Nexus on launch day and ICS is awesome. I want it on my Nook bad but I understand it may be awhile.
In the meantime what do you all recommend for now? Do I go with the latest stable build or nightly? Are the nightlies even available?
Edit: I see nightlies are up? I'm guessing I should probably stick with a stable build huh? Is there overclock ability in the latest stable build?
I haven't updated myself yet but vastly suggested by many members of using MiRaGe KANG, which also CM7 based.
I second MiRaGe. Latest CM7 based with all known fixes in including overclocking kernel. I've been using 12th Dec version and it seems very stable.
Nightlies got stuck in Mid November and I don't think they will resume until ICS starts up. MiRaGe is the best bet until there is a good ICS version available.
anyone using cm7.2 rc1 yet? i've been trying to download it, but it's really slow. Been pretty happy with the nightlies so far, and am looking forward ot cm7.2 stable (and cm9 stable of course)
any new bugs that i should be aware of before flashing? I'm not too android savvy, so any tips are appreciated.
thanks
I'm trying to get it too, many people have same issue. The CM servers are hot these days
As far as i know there might be some issue with ringtones when stored on sd card...?
You can check official 'bugzilla'
I did dig but didnt find anything to worry.
tried the official update but it was "meh"
almost same with the nightlies, minus some features from nightlies
I went back to euroskank nightly instead
i suggest using the newest nightlies, 'cause they have some bugs fixed, which RC1 don't. You should see the CM7.2 RC1 thread, there is a .torrent link which is running full speed, opposite to their sever
I'm downloading now will share my experience once I'm done!
This phone is going with my sister so needs to be stable and have everything working. I currently have CM9.1 stable on this and it seems very stable so far. I thinking of either upgrading to the latest CM9 nightly or going going straight to the latest and greatest CM10 nightly.
What do you guys recommand, stay with stable or upgrade to CM9/10 Nightly??
Currently the latest CM9 nightly is from 2012-09-16, can anyone comment that is running it?
Or what about the Slim Roms?
I think that from stable version (cm9) roms are stable.
Slimics seems faster than cm and is also stable. Both ROMs work good.
So I don't know which ROM recommend you. I was more satisfied with slim ROM.
I haven't tested cm10 yet.

i'm leaning towards slim as well because CM seems to slow down to a crawl when installing apps. YAY/NAY?
I'm running cm10, and it working fantastic for me. Every device responds differently, so why not test a slim out and compare. If u don't like it, just change it before u give it to ur sister.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
both are very good roms, i prefer cm10 or any other rom based on cm10
If I were you, I would just stay on CM9.1 stable or at least wait for CM10 RC1.
my biggest complain for CM 9.1 is 911 does not work, I wonder if this works on Slim. Can anyone confirm?
My 3 year old nephew has major allergies and this is the only phone she has and 911 is a MUST.
Just try dialing and see if it works and if it does just tell them you are testing 911 for phone software and they will understand. I have done this will another device and they said "yup its working" and I was good.
Triple S
Slim Sexy Stable
Last CM9 nightly is very stable and excellent for daily usage (in fact is 9.1.0 + some small fixes)
CM10 is working good also, but there are some small issues to be fixed (photo to external SD, direct dial in lock screen, some missing features from CM9)
I don't know about Slim, but between CM9 and CM10, I would pick latest CM9.

Sorry, in Europe is 112. Somebody from US should comment on 911
112 works for me both cm10 and 9.

I think it might be the modem or because i did a restore of CM9 right after going 100% stock and not installing stable 9.1 zip first.
In Mexico is 060 and it works fine for me. I'm using ugkg3 modem due to 850mhz support. About the roms... I tried both and Slim it's more customizable than CM, both are super fast and are stable enough to use it as daily drive. Right now I'm running the last CM10 nightly + semaphore 2.4.0 and it's super smooth... I recommend you to try both roms and decided which one do you like better
P.D. Sorry for my bad english
