[Q] Atrix CM7 Nightly (Nightlies) vs. atrix-dev-team betas

Probably a stupid question,
But if I want to keep up to date with CM7 on the atrix, am I better off using the very occasional builds found at atrix-dev-team or using the nightlies now being hosted through Cyanogen? (is there any/much difference?)
Thanks!

Nightlys are constantly changing stuff removed, stuff put in, some things good, somethings not so good if you're looking for the most updated and experimental go with nightlys but if you're looking for the most stable then go for betas. Thats all.

I should have been clearer, but you may have answered my question anyway. I recognize the general difference between autobuilt nightlies and betas -- I just wanted to make sure they were working from the same source (since atrix-dev-team and cyanogenmod aren't the same people)
thanks! (are they definitely the same source trees, just at different points?)

The way I understand it to have worked is that the atrix-dev team pushed code up into the nightly tree so the nightlies had official support for the atrix.
Whether or not the dev team push up their latest beta code is unknown. It would require them to merge changes with the nightlies which may or may not cause problems.
I'm fairly sure I've seen t0dbld state that the branches will remain separate at least for the foreseeable future.

[Q] CM7 / kernels development and KANGs? Which one to choose?

Being a total Android n00b, I just finished converting my SE X10 mini pro from stock to MiniCM-2.1.9+ nAa-11 kernel, and now I want to go on taking care of my ZTE Blade, but as far as I have seen by now, development for the ZTE Blade is quite different.
The official stable CM7 seems to be stuck at 7.1.0 since autumn, somewhere it was mentioned that nightlies have been discontinued, I could not find any info on kernel development, and progress only goes on with builds called KANGs?
Has official CM7 development shifted to CM9 only?
Can someone explain please, what KANG means?
Which CM 7.2 KANG is the current recommendation (I read about targetBSP, BurgerZ, burstlam and sej7278) and what are the differences?

You can say these as unofficial nightlies built by other people with their own small modifications but with all the official CM updates.
The names you mentioned are the one who built them

The one that i found fastest was the burstlam build but they're all pretty similar....except..targetbsp's version is more like a vanilla version meaning using all official cm updates only no extra mods etc. s

CM7 is still being developed, the only thing that stopped were the nightly builds, think it was hd failure on the server or something. CyanogenMod recently took donations for new servers, so they should be back up & running soon.
KANGs are just versions built from CM7 source, but not by CyanogenMod. There isn't much real development going on with them. They're just more recent because the CM7 nightly builds stopped months ago.

Go for Burstlam's build. Has good options for UI customisation and also has lesser battery consumption.

ICS, we hardly knew ye.
Builds for CyanogenMod 9 stable will be rolling out to our servers tonight. As noted before, this will be the end of the line for the ICS branch of our code; only critical bug fixes will be merged moving forward.
As a note, the maguro build from this morning was not meant to be linked publicly. Maguro’s build this evening will be marked 9.0.0.1 to be on par with the other 9.0.0 releases.
Tonight’s release is for the majority of our ICS supported devices, the stragglers will catch up, and we will leave the door open for merging in additional devices from maintainers, external and internal. The team itself, will focus solely on Jelly Bean and maintenance of the CM 7 codebase.
Many have wondered why we bothered to finish CM 9 when we are already active in CM 10 development. To that, our answer is: we don’t like to leave things incomplete. There is no profit gained from what we do, so the satisfaction of completing a goal is our only reward. This release also serves as a release suitable for the masses, especially those who won’t have 100% functioning releases of CM 10 immediately or are averse to anything branded as ‘preview’, ‘alpha’, ‘beta’ or ‘nightly’.
On the topic of nightlies, this release also serves as an end to our CM 9 nightlies, to make way for nightlies chock full of Jelly Bean goodness. A follow-up post will be made when we enable those builds.

Smh. And this in development why?

Good job

And you had to post and why? Really sick of the smart asses who think they are the post police. Does it really bother you people that bad that you can't just ignore things and mind your own?

[Q] Stock 4.3 / CM 10.1 or wait for 10.2

Hi,
I just got a Nexus 4 and love the device. I come from a HTC Sensation and used to run CM.
I am running stock 4.3, non rooted but lack some options.
I would like to ask your advice on what to do, should I;
- Unlock / root and flash CM 10.1? (should I flash a custom kernel?)
or
- Stay on stock until a stable CM 10.2 releases or wont this release for a couple of months?
I dont want to hassle with nightly builds, just want a stable daily driver and dont want to flash every week.
Thanks guys!

Wait for 10.2. Kindle fire CM 10.2 has already been released so I can imagine that it won't be long.

Thanks for your advice.
The CM 10.2 releases are just nightly releases, I do want a stable ROM

I hope you do realize that even nightly releases are quite stable on the Nexus 4? Unless you're doing some hardcore mission critical work, I'd say 10.2 nightlies are just as stable as 10.1
I'm not one of those flashaholics who will flash broken builds and half broken features just to have the latest new gimmick, so when I'm telling you it's solid, I mean it. CM10.2/Android 4.3 does have its issues, and I'd say the biggest is the battery drain issue that has to do with location services. If you're willing to disable half the features of location services, then the issue is less apparent, but to me 10.2 is good enough for me to run as a daily driver. I'd say the issue is more of an Android 4.3 rather than a CM 10.2 issue. So even if you go with a stable ROM like AOSP, you're doomed with battery the same as CM.

Thanks, I didnt realise this, the experience I had with nighly releases is not that good. After reading this I am considering to flash 10.2

I tried 4.3 and liked it quite a bit but I decided to stay on my favourite ROM (not cm but sabermod) on 4.2.2 until it gets updated to 4.3
and I haven't looked back

[USER] Which ROM for stable daily use?

I just got a Defy+ as a gift and upgrade. It came rooted.
I see the overwhelming choice of custom ROMs offered here and got confused.
I wanted to try Firefox OS for one but it was long updated (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865120&page=17)
So, which to choose from the many Androids? I don't have any special requirements but stability and be it well supported (by the wonderful XDA community).
In the forum of my previous phone (Galaxy Mini) there were 2 threads for a specified custom ROM: one for the developers and one for the users. This designation would be helpful here, too.
Are there distinctive 'stable' releases as well or am I supposed to pick the latest nightly and hope it is more stable than previous day's?

By CM11 which thread do you mean? Run by which XDA member? As there are more.

We do not allow best/most stable ROM/Kernel threads on XDA. The reason is everybody has their own opinion, each user has different usage and different needs for their device plus developers do not like seeing their work compared to others.
As for your question about nightlies.. They are the builds which run everyday with the latest patches that have been merged into the repositories. They can contain bugs which are usually fixed the day or few days after that is why there usually always is stable builds every once in awhile.
Edit (after your last post) - and if your looking for CM11 its here
