[Q] What's the difference CM7 nightlies/CM7.2 stable - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

What's the difference CM7 nightlies/CM7.2 stable?

Nightlies are experimental and buggy. Stable is, well, stable. It takes months for a version to go from nightlies, to RC (release candidate) to stable.

if you're thinking about installing cm 7..go for 7.2. Everything seemed perfect out of the box.

Thanks guys, I'm new to this I just flashed cm7 nightlies, wifi and Bluetooth doesn't seem to work well together. I'll try the 7.2 stable next.

Nightlies are "alpha builds" they are the newest and freshest of the fresh when it comes to updates. However they can be buggy.
RC / Release Candidate. They are less buggier then the Nightlies but may lack some of the newest features.
Stables are even less buggier then RCs but will be lacking some features from the RC and Nightlies.

[Q] Nook Needs an Upgrade

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.

I would say the most stabe is going to be the most recent stable release 7.1.0, there are a couple of other good cm roms like absolution and tdj's 7.2 cm.

I agree, If youre looking for the most stable AOSP rom itll have to be CM7 Stable 7.1...although I have been running the latest Nightlies 252 without any problems with anything. Smooth as silk. But yeah TDJ's CM7 7.2 kang is pretty awesome as well with some new added features such as a T9 dialer plus a few others I cant remember atm

I use Cyangenmod 7.2 downloaded from the cyanogenmod website. I use it everyday and works perfectly
CM7 is the most stable and it is still being developed, albeit at a very slow pace (check their website for nightlies). All the ICS roms are still in testing and are good enough for daily use so long as you can deal with some minor bugs here and there. I'm using Evervolv ICS and it's good enough for me, though CM7 is noticably faster.
Evervolv ICS (last not official build with some new commits) is the most stable rom for me!
I prefer JB 4.1.1 evervolv @reider123

CM9/10 or SlimROMS

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.

and what about 911?
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
