In cm updater I noticed newest updates were Experimental and also a nightly build. I have been installing the nightly builds but I flashed the Experimental build this time around. Do I also flash the newest nightly along with the Experimental build or just stay with the Experimental build? Am running CM 10.1 on my nexus 7. Thanks.
Realized that the new cm 10.1 experimental M1.zip is a more stable build than the nightly. I have opted to stay with experimental zip for now. May move back to nightly until M2 build or stable build.

I was looking at the NC cm7 builds and saw one that said RC it isn't a nightly or a stable. what is it?
Release Candidate for the next stable version I believe.

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.
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.
OK.
been out of the game for a couple of months not really keeping up to date.
i am running cm7 rc 1.5 at the moment.
all is well but i have noticed as few niggles and would like to flash the latest rc or maybe even the latest nightly.
so ok i see from doing a bit of reading that the latest is cm7 rc 1.0 and the latest nightly was 02/01/2012.
but i am now a bit confused as i see there are 2.2 and 2.3 kernals.
so question
do i need to flash just the latest cm7 rc1.0 and then flash the newest nightly over it or do i need to flash a kernal with them as well.
finally am i right in thinking these are indeed the latest releases?
answers appreciated before i flash them tonight.
cheers
If you want to use any defy+ builds (both cm7 and cm9), you have to flash cm9 kernel (i.e. gingerbread, 2.3).
Otherwise, just flash the cm7 kernel (i.e. froyo, 2.2).
Here're your options:
1. Flash any of the latest SBFs. You'll get the latest Gingerbread kernel in the process which works everthing - Stock, CM7 nightlies and CM9 nightlies.
2. Flash the CM9 Kernel. Then flash CM7 nightly, or CM9.
thanks for the replies.
ok i did quite a lot of reading of the cm7 and cm9 threads last night.
so it appears that if i want to use cm7 after the 12th decemeber i need to flash the 2.3 CM9 kernal but before that it is simply a matter of flashing the cm7 zip.
if i do flash the cm9 kernal and want to go back to cm7 2.2 then i simply flash the cm7 zip and the cm7 kernal.
pretty straightforward if i have it right.
however i am now not sure which cm7 is the latest stable release as i have found cm7 1.0 rc1 and cm7 1.0 rc0.
now i am gonna hazard a guess that the 0 is the latest but if someone can clarify that would be good.

now i use the lastest nightly version, if i wanna upgrade to the cm9, do I have to flash the Gingerbread kernel ?
Not necessarily. Quarx's ICS build is for the Froyo Kernel.
CM7.1 stable on tmobile USA
How does CM7.1. stable work on Defy with Tmobile USA. Any bugs like Wifi etc.
Thx
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.
Or will there be a CM10.1 nightly for the Nexus 7?
I am currently running Cyandelta and the CM10 Nightlies on my Nexus7 and am wondering if I could just stay on that and wait till I get the 4.2 changes.
Best regards
