I have installed RC1 of CM7 and now up to build three, but so far, on all versions, every time I load up CM Updater it force closes almost immediately.
Has anyone else had this issue?
No. Just use the recovery to flash the update. CM7 is still not bug free but you can submit bugs for RC now.

Is there an advantage of flashing cyanogenmod 7.0.3.1 if I am using nightly 64? Is it that more stable? Are the bug fixes noticeable? Or I might just wait until the 2.3.4 update...
I would say that really depends on your flashing habits. Do you usually flash nightlies when they come out? If you're just going to flash a new nightly when it releases then you probably shouldn't bother, but if you plan to stay on 7.0.3.1 for a while, then you may as well use it in case there were any small issues in the nightly that were fixed.
The nightlies (even the one that came out a few days) are basically newer than 7.0.3.1. 7.0.3.1 is a bug fix, but the nightlies are working towards 7.1. The question is whether you want to be running a "stable" build (7.0.3.1) or a dev build of the next version. That's your call.
You actually can't go from the nightlies to 7.0.3.1 without wiping data, as it's a downgrade.
MMS hasn't worked since at least #62, FWIW.

MMS works for me on nightly 64...sent a picture today to confirm it.
Sending works, receiving doesn't. Message fails to download.
stable is andoird 2.3.3. stable. nightly 64 is android 2.3.4. no mms download. not too stable. but if you don't donwload mms all the time, and don't mind asking "could you email it instead" then go right ahead and flahs the newest nightly.
Okay so I know what is CM9 is but what is the difference between CM9 and a CM9 nightly?
I've looked it up but couldn't really find anything about it.
A nightly is a rom that is build daily. The regular CM9 is build once an Update from google comes. Nightlys are sometiems unstable and mostly for advanced users and developers. If you don't know very much about android developing and flashing just go with the normal CM9 rom

Yeah, what he said....good advice.
I have tried CM7 but never the nightly versions. If you have to have to depend on your phone and don't want to deal with "possible" issues, just stick to the regular rom and skip the nightly versions. The regular versions get updated anyway as the bugs get worked out of the nightly versions.
What is a nightly build? And is it okay for me to install the CM9 nightly build?
This one to be exact: cm-9-20120708-NIGHTLY-p930.zip
A nightly build is essentially a beta build. It still has some bugs, but they are fixed and updated often(to keep up, you would flash every day or two when the new nightly comes out). If you want something a little slower, but not quite as up to date, the RC1 is a good place to start and it is my daily driver and has been since it came out. There are a couple small bugs, but nothing deal breaking that i have found yet. I will probably continue to update with the RC releases since it requires less time flashing and restoring.
So yes, it is absolutely OK to install the nightly build and you can even stay with it until another RC comes out if you want.
Hey,
Ive installed the CyanogenMod 9 RC2 with Kernel 3.x to my G2 yesterday.
But i still have problems with the most apps like facebook, whatsapp, maps, etc
They are always closing on error when i open up a new app or unlocking the lockscreen.
The apps from gapps wont even start up, like facebook maps or even the clock (but just when
I go to alarms). They instantly closes on starting.
In the developerthread they all say everything works fine.
Ive updatet from CM 7.2 (latest stable) and wiped cache and everything already
And tried so reflash gapps.
Is RC2 still too early? Other forummembers say, its working fine.
Thanks for help,

The easiest solution is not to use the 3.0 kernel with Jerl's Unofficial CM9. In my opinion he made a poor decision offering the 3.0 kernel from Flinny's jelly bean test builds with that unofficial copy of CM9, which has too many problems right now if not debugged properly.
RC2 isn't too early, for example Mimicry (in my signature) uses the latest Cyanogenmod9 source straight from their git head along with the andromadus changes, and works just fine. It's not using the 3.0 kernel, but then of course neither is Cyanogenmod 9 Official.
I love CM but I don't flash every nightly nor do I spend all day reading all the posts in the CM 10 threads (even less so with the CM updater). When it was announced that CM 10 was stable I installed our build and WiFi stopped working. I wonder if that is fixed and which date I should install if that's the case. Thank you.

Everything is working just fine for me on the CM10 Stable build that I downloaded here: http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?type=stable&device=epicmtd I assume that is where you got yours from too? Did you try restoring settings from your previous build? That can break things very easily. I would try a fresh CM10 install.
