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

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1143125
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.

Thanks I try it out
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.
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.

I know this is a development forum,but I wanted to raise attention for the new build of CM 7 with continuous update,I like the CM 9.10 work here but I think they need more work to be ready for daily use.
so I strongly recommend the new CM 7
download:
http://get.cm/?device=legend
Any important changelog? The last 7.2 stable is quite stable
http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#legend/cm7/next
but it is till 15/11
I am using the nightlies for some time now, from http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=nightly&device=legend. However, I was wondering what the changes in the last nightly are, filesize is different from previous,but changelog says No changes.
Anybody knows?

This site shows more info:

Last nightly from March 1st, it's no longer building them?
There's really no more point in CM7 nightlies if no more features are going to be announced and added to CM7 legacy devices. Unfortunately, users of these devices are content with CM7 as they are or else they'd buy a more powerful device, given how it's >3 years old.
I guess the nightlies until March were meant as flexibility to those unable to run the CM7 stable series.
As much as I'd hate to say it, if you want more out of Android and custom ROMs, I guess you're going to have to upgrade.
Hey folks!
The guys over at CM have officially released CM10 for our device iyokan/MK16i.
I thought it would be good if we could keep all the discussion related to that in a single thread to keep it organized and available for readers.

I have been using cm-10-20121218-NIGHTLY-iyokan.zip and all the upper versions except the latest 20121221 and 20121222... They were stable and great for daily use but it had a lot of bugs... and they have been releasing a new rom everyday since then so i thought I might for a while until we actually get a stable one...
There were no major bugs... just small ones... like low in-call volume and stuff which is probably fixed in the latest version...
Do we have a list of what's not working and other known issues?
I might give it a try over the weekend.

Read the first reply above your post. I might make a list after few people report what is working and what is not.

How is this work related to the work done by team FXP (discussed at this thread)? Is this the same build?
Or is it different?
I thought FXP was the official maintainer of CM for these devices; why is there on official, non-FXP build @ CM,
and a different, FXP build elsewhere?
Could someone please explain?
Thank you:
I guess M66B answered it in the PRO CM10 thread. It is work of the FXP team.
Which is the most stable version of CM10 for defy plus? I would like a link if possible since in the repositories there are alot of versions according to release date and i tried few of them with no luck. If possible to point to an actual release please do.
Thank you!
Try 11.28 version. I dowgraded to it. Best ROM version - no battery drain, no ringtone bug, no lags...

Latest build+sevenrock's extracted kernel is stable, not very fast but quite certainly usable

I downloadet it last night and I'm very satisfied with it. It's fast, no battery drain, games run pretty smooth, no FCs, so Yeah, it's appropriate for daily and non-daily use, too. :highfive:
Is not an "most stable CM10". All builds suffer from instability in some aspects. But AGAIN this is a topic from "which is the best ROM" series and is forbidden!!!

This is not a topic from the "best ROM" series, this is a topic intended to guide people in need for a stable release to which is safe to use and which is not. Like in my case it is not relevant to test 20 builds to see which is the best, i already tried 10 and couldn't find one that has all the major functions working.
For example I at the moment am using build 10-20120924-NIGHTLY and the problems with this is that it feels a bit laggy and i also can not use any kind of live wallpaper. I have also noticed a bug when I call someone, when I want to end the call, the lockscreen is active with the call controls but i can see the normal unlocked screen under it. This happens even though i was the one calling in the first place.
This is the kind of information i was looking forward to find in this thread so people can choose builds according to needs and for people to actualy be pointed to a version of a ROM not A FOLDER with a number of versions where u dont know what is working in each.

Any of the custom ROMs have some weakness and the same ROM behave different at some users. You can find the appropriate ROM for your need by trial and error method and not because I or anybody else said: pick this one - is the best!

I am using sevenrock's 0127 build, seems fluid, no lags, maybe better battery (came from latest negan). Wondering what impovements are in his 0209 build. I cannot post link to the builds, it can be found in Quarx's cm10 thread.
