Which Paranoid Android release is currently most stable? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I want to flash PA, but I want to stay away from unstable daily releases - even if it's not the most up-to-date (Missing halo e.t.c.) which release is currently the most stable? An RC or so?

AFAIK there aren't any nightlies of PA, just flash the latest download from the OP. That's the one I'm on and it has no issues. The Goo Manager app (built in to the ROM) will notify you when the next update is available, usually every few weeks.

I'm taking your advice. Thanks.

Just like Nigeldg said. I've been using the latest PA and have no issues whatsoever! I'm very pleased.

The wildfire only goes to 2.2 officialy. CM7 latest build has 2.3.7 and its stable (not including nightlies)
Is that version in stable or night mod?and can can you explain what nightlies is?
Nightlies, from what I know, is a build that they release every night and some times is really buggy but you get the occasional one that is stable. I just stick with the stable releases not the nightlies. Um there is a stable release out.
Here's the link:

Also the easy way to install it is to use rom manager and make sure you do nandroid backup before you install any roms

Sorry to contradict you but the nightlies in my opinion are just as stable as the stable version, you see a lot of the bugs you may read about in various threads are through user error not the actual rom itself. And been able to use new features long before they are released in a stable version far outweighs the amount of bugs.
I've been on nightlies for about 4 months and only ever had 1 bug, the camera wouldn't work a couple of days ago but Arco already knew why and it was fixed the next day!

All the nightlies I've tried have been stable, I know they had problems in the early stages with bootloops etc but I've been on them since about nightly 100 and never had any major issues apart from my own stupidity.
There is a changelog knocking about somewhere. I'll see if I can find the link later.

cm 7.1.0.1 is a stable mod ROM and try to flash using cmw.it is safer and have a clear installation process.wipe cache,data and system partition from cmw itself...
befor all this plz have a nandroid backup.

What are the nightlies at here? Are they the newest updates of CM7.2 - RC1?

Hi folks,
Im sorry that this is a silly question, but I have been attempting to look for the next update of CM7.2-RC1 since 14-Mar at here:
http://download.cyanogenmod.com/?device=olympus
But I saw only the ninghtly versions that show as CM7 (not CM7.2, I mean)
Because that they were added into the same download link with the CM7.2-RC1, so I am wondering whether they are the newest updates of it, I mean the 19-Apr and the 21-Apr releases?
Please excuse me if this is a repeated question as somwhere. Many thanks in advance.

Thanks, but your reply does not make me be clear. I know that is the latest update of nightly series. But my question is, whether that 21-Apr nightly is the latest update of CM7.2-RC1?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
In other words, my question is: Have been there the CM7.2-RC2, RC3, RC4...yet? And where is the official link I can check for the newest update of CM7.2 series? Thank you all in advance again.
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
The nightly is the latest version. No need to check further. I guess if you don't want to take my work for it, you can always check github for the latest changes.
That's the latest RC. Nightlies are the the only "most up to date" roms, but they aren't release candidates.
Edit: actually, RC2 is the latest I think. I'm searching on my phone so its kinda hard to find.

Double post sorry
WTF? There is no RC2 yet. RC1 is the latest "stable" release, and the nightlies are unstable snapshots from those dates with updates to RC1.

Thank you. So RC2 is not released yet and we just wait for it in short time, right? At meanwhile, I see that the nightly 21-Apr in the link on post #1 showed as CM7 instead of CM7.2. So could you advise me about this? How is this version comparing to the CM7.2-RC1?
Sent from my MB860 using xda premium
What are you waiting for? RC1 is the Stable Release. There is probably no more development for CM7 on the Atrix. RC1 is very stable and fully functional. I think you even have fingerprint thanks to the Atrix team.
If you want something different, there are some CM7 variants such as MIUI, Ligux and Mokee.
All development now is in ICS which is basically waiting on Moto to release ICS drivers and kernels. Until then you will not have a fully functioning ROM although the devs have done some awesome work with what they have.
Enjoy CM7 as it is a great ROM for the Atrix.
I am running Morrisoft Gen V0.9 based on CM7 nightly April 9th 2012. It is fast and smooth. I have not experienced any bugs yet. You can give it a try.
edited for dumb question removal. lol
The CM7 nightly released 4-21 (20120420) is more stable than the RC1 so far.
the RC1 fingerlock would stop working if you unselected usb debugging and you would be totally locked out unless you rewiped. It also would constantly random reboot as well as reboot on incoming calls.
The latest nightly so far fixed all that. Yeah I wish there was a newer official release but i guess they are going to CM9 now. But like the e07015 said, moto has not released the drivers and kernels for ics so there wont be any official CM9 release anytime soon. :/
I'm fine with cm7 if it stays stable, crossing my finger. Its WAYYYYY faster and better than motoblurSUCK!

[Q] CyanogenMod 10 Mako - Why no Stable Releases?

Hello all. I've done a search and have tried to read through all the forums to no avail. I'm wondering why there isn't (or hasn't been, ever) a stable release of CM10 for the Mako.
I've used a Galaxy i9000, then moved on to a Moto Atrix, and both devices would have nightlies, and eventually have a stable release, somewhat like a milestone of sorts. For the Mako (http://get.cm/?device=mako) there's NEVER been a Stable release and it's all been nightlies and/or experimental builds.
Is there a particular reason why there aren't any Stable releases for the N4? Or is this the way it really should be.
Thanks in advance for the help!

The stable release will be ready next week. I'm sure others can confirm.
There were Mako milestone builds, I think.
The nightlies are rock solid, though. Might as well be a stable release.
The nightlies are pretty stable though , just really small unnoticable bugs

There are no stable releases of cm10.1 yet because it isn't done. You flash nightlies or flash the monthly milestone builds until cm10.1 is finalized.

[Q] Stable ROM for mako

Hello everyone,
I'm getting an N4 next week and I was wandering how stable AOKP's milestone 1 or CM RC2 are given that nither have a proper stable out yet.
Let me give some context. I use to be big on flashing, the phone I have now has run every any anying I have been able to find but to be honest I'm sort fo bored of it. At this point I'm just looking for somethig I can flash and wait for the OTA update for the next point or big number realse and Yes I know that both roms mention above are not "stable" but they will be soon I hope. I can put up with annoynces for some time while the stable comes out so I can move up to it. Also I'm open for sugestion if there anything more solid then AKOP or CM(if that is even plosible) by all means shear
They're both pretty stable. All features are fully working. Both roms have been on the Nexus 4 scene since day one so the developers have worked hard to eliminate any bugs. Just flash one and try it out yourself.

CyanogenMod RC2, being a release candidate, is very stable and bug free (from my experience).

Probably the developer doesn't think it's ready. Either way, it seems stable enough for daily use.
It sounds like I'm contradicting myself. LOL
Mmuzzy ROM. 100% stable with just a few very necessary customizations.

Yeah. They probably won't label "Stable" but a "Milestone" instead.

Before you flash anything. PLEASE MAKE A BACKUP NANDROID FILE IN RECOVERY MODE JUST IN CASE THE PHONE DOESN'T BOOT.
I assume you know how to do a backup. LOL

I've used cm10.1 and switched to Xylon when I had the desire for more customization. Ever since JellyBeer started however it's been my main ROM and I absolutely love the functionality and stability it has to offer. I am intrigued by PA's Halo though.

[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.

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
