What is difference between the Cm7 nightly and weekly rom and which one is better?
Do i need to take care switching from Nightly to weekly or just flash and do the 2 wipes?

You're better off just staying on the latest build, and not using the nightly or weekly builds. These are not considered 'stable, daily driver' builds, and are aimed at the more experienced user who doesn't shudder at the thought of soft-bricking, or losing data.

Agreed. Although I have to add that I've been on Weekly 2 w FP for almost a week with no issues, and the best battery life is the best I have ever had!

How does the FP work in your build? I've heard mixed reviews about it.
I got the nightly build and my browser is crashing sometimes.
Is the stable one (no nightly ) the weekly build?
If yes why does it say that the fingerprintscanner is not working or is it not updatet yet?
I've had no problem with any of the nightlies I've run. Also no need to wipe when switching between cm7 builds. I haven't wiped since the first pre-beta.

The thread "No Nightly Ba2tf" is the current stable and there is a thread for weekly builds courtesy of the atrix-dev-team in the development section. Nightlys are on the get.cm download site.
I normally run nightlys with limited problems and haven't tried a weekly yet but was thinking about it. Most people just stick with the stable builds from the first thread I mentioned

Works great for me, better than blur!! Its more responsive, you can swipe upside down (imagine holing the phone sideways and just swiping your left index finger the "wrong" way and being able to unlock), And it works as a trackball. Very cool.
I flashed today the weekly build and wanted to try the FP somehow the phone turned off and the motorola logo was showing after turning on.
It was really weird, so i flashed the stable one and i still get browser forcecloses sometimes and that really annoys me.

No force closes here. Maybe you need a fresh flash with wipes.
Hey Guys!
I am pretty new to the world of flashing ROMs, and am trying to experiment as much as I can! I recently rooted my phone (myTouch 4g) to escape the HTC Sense bloatware and kind of escape the gingerbread environment and use custom ROMs that people have developed. Of course, I've had my phone since 2010, and its been working great since. Not looking forward to getting a new phone anytime soon (it does what I want it to do well).
That being said, I currently am experimenting out CM7.2, was curious to hear what ROMs people who use the myTouch 4G as their daily drivers use. I am considering trying out one of the ported CM10.1 ROMs later tonight.
Looking forward to hearing from all of you guys!
~Darkgiants
Last Cyanogenmod 7 nightly.
I might also recommend Coderzs 4.2.2 Slimbean, Team Inferno's ShenduOS 4.2.1, or my AoCP 4.2.2 lol.
For ICS I recommend Synthetic Nightmare's AOSPx. Also I'm porting a CyanogenMod7 Type of rom, but with more features
Whatever I tried to install on it (including few JB-based ROMs) I always go back to CM7. Anything else is either less stable or uses battery or something is not working well (like camera on JB).

I use Albinoman's 8/24 build of AOSP 4.3 / CM 10.2. It has a few very minor issues but in daily use I find it's very stable...
too stubborn
Too stubborn to use CM7 I fought installing it and keep working with SlimBean 4.3 even though it is still buggy, well mostly for me. I should just back down to 4.22, but hmm here comes that stubborn issue.
I was on a small vacation, and now am about ~7 days till I move into my college dorm and start my college life. Here are few things I figured I should mention:
I am currently using the CM10.1 AOSP JellyBean ROM by albinoman887 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40665477), so far, its been awesome!
Though, there are few concerns about this ROM as a daily driver:
1. The battery life, it really does die out way too fast. It obviously is a concern for me, being in college, I would like to have something mobile and something that can last me an entire day without having to plug my phone into a charging unit. Of course, I was not expecting a perfect ROM for battery life that would be capable of running the latest Android, so all in all, the battery issue evens out, and should not be a shocker to anyone trying out the ROM.
2. I currently am running everything off of a 8GB Micro SD card, which is now full (I am waiting for my 32GB card to come in within the next few days), but when I do use apps such as SnapChat, or Instagram, it prevents me from using my camera with various errors every time. I suspect this to be the full SD memory card, I will make sure to post an update on this issue.
3. The ROM itself is FAST. I mean FAST. It really sets a definition of "multi-tasking" on the myTouch 4G.
There is a new September update for this ROM (I am going to install this update once I get my new SD card) and will also touch on how the update is, and what was resolved. As of right now, this ROM is beautiful, does require a bit of elbow geese to configure the settings to your likings, but that is the payoff.
I have tried CM7 briefly, escaped the ROM, its the most stable ROM anyone can ask for, but I personally don't want to go back to Gingerbread.
Thanks a lot XDA forums for allowing the opportunity to mess with our phones!
I bought myTouch 4g about 2 years ago. Sense Rom was installed for most of its lifetime; mysense (stock), Sense 3, then Sense 3.5, and now sense 4.1. Currently using ViperTouch 2.1.4 sense rom it is the most stable sense rom I found where all the hardware are functional. Battery life has not bad when keeping in 2G mode. I switch it to 3G with I need to browse something. Before ViperTouch I used CM 10.1 from albinoman887 for about 3 month to try out JB, it was really smooth and clean lightweight. I decided to go back to Sense after headphone heatup, camera and mic not working properly. I tried out CM 10.2 Android 4.3 albinoman887, it was smooth for the most part, but i couldn't use it as daily driver same 10.1 issues were resolved. So Sense 4.1 ICS is my current daily driver.

I am using AOCP now but currently looking for a bug-free ROM.
As far as I know, there are still a few bugs in 4.2.2 including:
1. Headset heat up when plugged in.
2. Green line in camera.
3. Signal drop after a missing call.
4. Camera flash delay.
Is there any 4.1 and above ROM without those problems? Please let me know. 1. and 3. is really annoying to me. Thank you!

Yes, but it's a little bit annoying so I'd go back to a bug-free version
And somehow the game I'm playing (Rage of Bahamut) doesn't display right in some screen.
Tried ShenduOS and everything looks great. Until I find the 'phone' is not working, lol.
Hey guys!
So, I have been rocking this current ROM for a while now! I must admit, I've had few problems recently, but so far it works and gets the job done. I am now in the process of debating if I should revert down to one of the most stable ROMs for this phone (CM7.2) or to continue rocking this current ROM and try to see if I can help in terms of fixing current issues.
My classes start tomorrow! I will post an in-depth update on my issues this weekend!

Keep an eye on N_otori0us_, he's been really making some moves trying to fix 1. 2 you usually see patches from OP's in thier thread to fix it.
At least you don't have the screen flicker bug also.

If you see a bug in my roms. Tell me lol.
There's a fix for green line that coderzs made. And the. 64 is a temporary fix for the headset heat.
Not sure what else to fix though...

I was referring to how you are trying to fix the headset issue overall, not how you have any bugs in your roms.
Now I've been using PACman_GLACIER 19.3 for 2 weeks. Very stable, fast and no bug (except sometimes when it boots up, Link2SD notifies me to hot reboot to make SD partition mount)
You should check out the links in this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2429325
Especially those of you who like ViperTouch. They are from a Chinese forum so you'll need to translate but the ROMs can be set to English on setup.
I might call it an end with my current ROM... it is currently becoming way too unstable for my abilities as a daily driver. Current issues include:
1. Battery life - I literally drop from 100% to 60% in a matter of 2 hours only using Wi-Fi for browsing the New York Times.
2. Phone screen flickers when locked (may be linked to battery life)
3. Certain apps that require a camera just do not cooperate
4. Green like in all pictures + picture quality not the same versus when the ROM was installed freash
5. Crashes and freezes a lot
Overall, this ROM was good, but as time progressed, its performance decreased as well.
Currently about to try Albinomans latest Jelly Bean ROM, or even try out the AoCP rom!
A couple weeks ago I reported a bug in cm11 for the D801, the accelormeter which allows the device to rotate and play games like Temple Run 2 didn't work on the nightly ROMs , a lot of others also had the same issue and they could fix it by getting a modded baseband , I decided to wait around and keep updating my cm till rotate is fixed and it finally did the newest cm works perfectly for me the rotate is awesome and everything works great, i think we are really close to stable now. So yeh I just wanted to announce this if anyone wants a good bugless ROM for d801. Gotta love cm doing work

Sweet !
That was my only gripe for CM on this beast !
Excellent news, now the only thing left for me is the sound to be fixed. Just got my G2 back from LG for repairs and had to use my backup unlocked Lumia 520 in the interim , and the sound on the 50 dollar Lumia(internal speaker and headphones) thrashed the 500 dollar G2. Been so long since I ran stock I can't remember if sound was that much better on stock than on CM.
Forgot to mention the camera seems to be a lot faster in current CM than it was when I last had the phone. Was on 6/20 Nightly and updated to 7/3 Nightly and focusing is faster. Wonder if I use the LG camera APK I had on it before if it'd work with less crashes and a working burst mode.
I have some newbie questions:
- I was wondering why there weren't any CM11 version for the S4 (T-Mobile) on cyanogenmod.com?
- Also, how can I get the stock Lollipop icons on the CM12 nightly?
- Will there be a stable version of CM12 eventually or will it only be nightlies?
- How stable are the nighlies?
Thanks
CM11 was a unified project I think. Meaning that all CM roms were under the JFLTXX project..
Stock lollipop meaning? If you want a pure android experience, go with a GPE rom.
Devs start working on Nightlies once the rom has reach a stable status, as far as I know.
So it's Alpha>Beta>RC>Stable>Nightlies.

That's what I thought too from my experience with CM7 some years ago. But I can't find the stable build. But I've decided not to use it because on a ongoing bug with the microphone having a very low volume. I tried two different fixes to no avail. Other than the fact that it's a phone and the microphone is kind of important, I record song ideas on my phone.
Stock lollipop I mean just the icons that come with lollipop. CM12 changes a lot of the icons to their own.

A nightly build is a neutral build. These typically take place when no one is likely to be working in the office so that there are no changes to the source code during the build.

CM12 has a microphone gain setting in the stweaks app. Doesn't CM11 have that setting too?
If you want stock icons, go with a GPE rom. It offers the pure android experience. Exactly like google developed it.

I did not know that! I'll have to check it out! As far as icons are concerned, they're just icons. If I like CM12 I won't let that come in my way. Plus I haven't found GPE version that works well on my phone (for Lollipop, not KitKat).
That being said I still don't know if there ever was a stable release of CM12. And what is a snapshot release?

AntaresOne and Alucard's optimized CM12 builds seem to be stable. I flashed it on a friends s4 and it works fine.
The GPE rom builds by Danvdh are pretty stable. I have no issues here. Been very stable and problem free since the day I first flashed the rom. Also has nice battery life. Battery stats once reported up to 14 day of battery life wheb idle
Edit: You can find a description about nightly, snapshot, rc, and stable in the cyanogenmod device selection. If they didn't change the layout. But I know for sure there were descriptions of what each of those terms mean

For Danvdh indeed it seems to be a great ROM but I can't use is on my phone. I have a bug that I was never able to get rid of no matter what type of wiping I used or what kernel I installed and I'm unable to get the logcat through ADB to report the bug properly. I install it and everything runs smoothly until the screen shuts off after being idle for 10 minutes. Then I wake it up and instead of showing me the lock screen it tries to show the home screen, then the screen goes blank, then goes black, shows the home screen, goes blank, goes black and so on until I reboot it. Once it's rebooted, on the lock screen I get a UI System has crashed message. The phone is then ususable because I can't get further than that. I would love for it to work as it would give me GPE and Lollipop!

On my phone it's working really really fast. I don't know how they did that. The only thing is that it's based on 5.0 so with the bugs that were originally on 5.0. I hope it'll be updated to 5.1. But otherwise it's great!

The dev lost his phone or something like that. I just know he doesn't have an S4 anymore, that's why development stopped.
But he is about to get another one soon.
I am looking for the fastest rom, longest battery life for this Tablet. I ended breaking it with CM12.1. Power button delay with up to 60 seconds long and applications opening up taking even longer. I had CM 10 on it before. Should I go back to JB or try KitKat? Should I stick with CM? I just want to flash it and be done with it.
I use:
-Heartstone -Twitch -Youtube -Web browsers -books.
I don't care about the version.
Just want -speed -battery life -performance.
Would CM10 be the best? [Heartstone was terrible on this.]
Should I try F2F2? I haven't done it before.
Or would CM11 be the best?
What do you guys recommended for me?
I'm using the CM11 snapshot for nearly 6 months now.... it's awesome. ..
I upgraded to Lollipop within CM and that just broke everything. I did fresh installation, but I still couldn't get Heartstone to connect to the net. After going through fresh installations of cm10, cm11, and cm12 for most of yesterday. I am currently sitting on CM12 and it's working well. No more slowness like before. Heartstone is running, a bit slow, but it's fine for me. What I am really happy about is the ability to stream movies over the network as this slow or broken before. Thanks for the help.
Nijom, BTW, I was on CM10 for like 2 years? It had some problems, but worked for the most part. However I never really used the tablet for anything, but now, it's being used almost daily.

I usually aim for stable versions, but my buddy is a big fan of nightlies on his main device and he hasn't troubles. Or it hasn't been too bad for him. For my Wi-fi nodes, I think will start installing whatever, now. I do not have to worry about contacts, smses, or whatever on those devices.
