[Q] what is the current best nightly build

Hi,
What is the current "most stable" (no big bugs) nightly build?
Which build would you recommand?
Thanks!

The latest one.
The past 50 or so nightlies have been rock solid for me.

Agreed, the nightlies have been getting better and better, so I would also say go with the latest one.

Thirded
Latest does not always mean best, but in the case of the nightlies it does

just flash it

Agreed with all of the above
Nightlies lately just seem to be getting better and better!!

[Q] upgrading from cm7.1 to 7.2

Hi.
Just a quickie - I'm currently running cm 7.1 and want to upgrade to 7.2rc. Can I just install it as I would a nightly (I'm dual booting cm9) or do I need to clear user data as well?
Cheers.

It is a nightly. So yes. If it is a stable release, again yes. Stable's are the nightly's but with feature adds stopped for a couple of weaks so only bugfixes are allowed and no new bugs get added.

[Q] keep installing nightlies?

Hi, I have the stable cm7 version on my Atrix, so I don´t know if I should keep installing the nightlies every week?
Does it make a difference? if there´s a stable version why do the keep releasing nightlies every week?

Nightlies are not as stable as stable versions but they may have some features more but it doesn't radically changes from a stable version. You have the choice between a stable version (Good support etc.) and a newer but less stable version (Some tweaks, little features added but nothing more).

I keep flashing the nightlies just because I want to have the latest version on my phone.

Radio, baseband flashing!?

Hi all.
Have noticed some terrible 4g speeds and wondered if the radio can be flashed on its own?
If so what would the preferred method be?
Calls are usually ok but messaging and internet speed could be better.
Update: just updated the kernel to version 15 (lightening)
May just be me but it seems to have made an impact, saw 4G+ for the first time in a while almost straight after flashing it.
I had it in my head that the radio was separate to the kernel has something changed since the older versions of android ? I also don't see a lot of talk of firmware versions? On my previous devices you had to update it yourself prior to a change of base otherwise certain things would fail.

Having the proper base firmware is more of a concern if you are running a custom AOSP or LOS ROM. OOS based custom kernels that are updated regularly are generally made to work with specific builds of OOS--when OnePlus releases a new build of OOS some commits in the stock kernel are usually changed and custom kernels are updated to also incorporate the changes. The custom OOS kernels generally assume that you are running the most up to date version of OOS. If you are running an old build of OOS with a kernel made for a newer build you might encounter some bugs or stability issues.

Thanks for replying. I'm currently running pure fusion which is not OOS.
When I've been on OOS I've just been flashing the latest no limits ROM.. however as with past devices I've sometimes had to install newer firmwares to gain functionality and at times radios /baseband /modems. But have heard no talk about any of that on the Oneplus, is this something that's done when flashing a ROM? I'd have thought that phones may have different names but wouldn't be too dissimilar in that way.
Overall i just think that my device has had better data speeds and stability than it has before and I couldn't think of anything which would affect it more than flashing a different (potentially more efficient) baseband.
I've no idea how to even recognise the firmware I'm on on this phone.. or where to grab the firmware from, I know the command to flash it as I've done it a lot on my old devices.

What is the advantage of unofficial roms over their Official versions

I am fairly new to this flashing of custom roms and stuff, but I've noticed that ROMs like LineageOS have a thread with their Unofficial versions recently updated even though LOS officially supports it, is there a difference in their features or what?

There is no difference between official and unofficial in features. Unofficial build have some small bugs. Due to this bugs it is rejected for official build. This bugs can be neglected by users.
