what is the difference between nightly and stable??

You basically just said it.
Nightly- not stable and each one builds upon the other and fixes bugs
Stable- completely working, bugs fixed, no problems besides user error

Interestingly, with CM7, the nighties are themselves, very very capable and remarkably stable. Definitely stable enough to be most people's daily driver.
I run nightlues all the time and they are very stable. Much better than rls1 ever was. A full stable should be coming soon though.

Like the people above me said, Nightlies are compiled every night (usually) and aren't considered by Team Douche to be "stable." Oh, and if you file a bug report about something in a Nightly, expect to be burned at the stake.
RC's are a tad more stable than Nightlies (typically) and while they don't include the latest-and-greatest features all the time (ie, RC1 is now outdated and doesn't have WiMAX or the battery percentage in the status bar), you can file bug reports about them and they'll usually get solved.
Stables are just what their name says: Stable. There's rarely any major bugs in them, and when bugs are discovered, a bug report can be filed, and assuming it's not an 1D10T error, gets fixed, and integrated into the next Nightly/RC/Stable, or they'll just make a .1 release (ie, 7.0.0 to 7.0.1 and so on).
Right now though, CM is in feature freeze, so all that's going into Nightlies right now are bugfixes (for example, the WiMAX code for EVO broke a bunch of other phones in weird ways, and the Nexus One has a "wonky" bug). We'll probably see RC2 in a week or two, and then 7.0.0 stable within a month.

Which one is better. Can make up my mind. Happy Easter.
Go for nightly 54. Haven't used my phone much...92% and about 6.5hrs on battery life.
Been riding the Stable for a while. The talk following the immediate nightlies thereafter put me on hold, figure I'll wait it out until drastic changes / additions start happening.
Seems like said issues have been addressed and / or a fix is available. Stable has been running great for me, using Tiamat, and haven't really had a reason to move on.
So long as you avoid the 'bad ones' you should be good.
do you not know the difference, or are you asking what are the benifits of the newest nightly over stable? if so, here's the changelog. http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=supersonic . happy easter

although there are a few bugs you can find a few answers in my siggy and the rest in the xda threads.
Use Nightly 54
I have been loving Nightly 54 with gps-test.zip to fix Google Maps. Everything has been running smoother than Stable, good luck!
stable 7.0.1 is out.
I have been working on fixing the bugs in cyanogenmod that cause the data issues when using BFS kernels.
The CM7 nightly build is here: http://www.multiupload.com/0Z3Z8M5FE7

I may work on flashing this this week, I'm on miui but missing me some cm7. Is this having the youtube and mms issues cm has?
Sent from my Incredible 2 using xda premium
Loaded Saturday morning, been running fine. No data drops.MMS, YouTube, data anamation
arrows, compass works. Haven't tried any flash videos.
Running smarta** at 245/1113. Getting 2200 - 2500
on quadrant. (If that matters)
I think I finally fixed all of the possible data issues:
Updated cm7 nightly kang: http://www.multiupload.com/UI6MOP5OSD
which includes http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,9829 and http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,9850
That should cover every corner case where data could be lost due to the dnsproxyd cache (this was a bug in AOSP, so all AOSP roms will have this bug until the fix is applied).
I also have a test build for v0.7 of my kernel (which should fix zram enable issues): http://www.multiupload.com/WDSSQ85LJM I also rewrote my updater-script, so let me know if there are any issues (I've only tested on my cm7 kang build).
Working well for me so far. Using the 0.7 Kernel, CompCache up and running. No data loss issues so far today. I think all may be well
can i flash this over my current cm7 nightly?
Been running for a day now, haven't noticed any depreciated performance/battery.
haven't really followed your kernels, but have you addressed the low call volume issue that plagues the built in kernel?
if so, I'll jump on and start testing immediately.
Yes areoevan kernels have the vol. fixed.Been running them since the first one he released.
from the dates of the changes and the fact they've been merged, I assume all new nightlies have the new changes (minus the kernel part) correct?

133 and 134 nightlies have the changes incorporated.
ok, so. i flashed this. the is the best my compass has acted since i flashed CM7, the in call volume is perfect. I'm getting really good Quadrant scores(for whatever that is worth), data dropping in and out seems to be gone. It wouldn't connect to WiFi right away, but eventually did.
My question is; what is the difference between this kernel and the .06 cfs version?
Umm ok So that was weird... Delete please.
What's weird?

yea, that's weird.
So strangely at 11:45pm last night my phone went absolutely nutty... Can't figure it out but all of my apps keep crashing. Gmail, Maps, etc.
I haven't updated CM7 since it came out months ago so I need a bit of help upgrading all of what needs to be done... I figure this is a good reason to bring things up to speed.
Ideally I'd like to get 7.1 on here. I also can't remember all of what I need to download to do this process. Not as brilliant as the rest of you!
Can anyone give me (or point me in the direction of) some step by step instructions of what I need to do? Real layman's terms...
Currently:
Android 2.3.3
Model number ADR6300
Kernel 2.6.37.6-incredikernel-gb-04192011+
CyanogenMod 7.0.0-Inc
Build Number GRI40
Help me get this puppy up and running!
Thanks all and Happy New Year!!!
Go to cyanogenmod.com and click on devices. Scroll down until you see the HTC Droid Incredible and click on it. Click on the wiki link. Everything you need to know will be there. Use the via clockworkmod recovery method.
Get 7.1 stable, the gapps for it, incredikernel ext4 and the adrenaline shot. That's should be good.
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
I hate bad mouthing projects that people have worked so hard on. But, CM 7.x stable is NOT stable on the Dinc.
If you want to keep using CM 7.x (stable)...
expect this problem to keep happening. If you are a CM 7.x (stable) user and it hasn't happened to you yet, great. But, don't be surprised when it does. Yeah, check out the CM forum for 7.x stable on the Dinc... you will find many others who have the same problem (works great for some amount of time, and then constant FC's and freezes). I also just ran across another person in the Incredible discussion forum who had the same thing a few days ago. It happened to me after about a week on installing CM 7.1 stable, so I changed to Inc Deck (gingerbread) 1.3 stable. You can reinstall CM and it and it will work for some amount of time (completely unpredictable how long it will work). But someday, sometime...whammo... you will have useless phone, and you will need to reinstall again.
Some folks have said that the problem never goes away after a fresh install... I don't know about that. My phone screwed up, I searched and found many others with the problem, tried a quick fix, then abandoned CM 7.x stable immediately.

Hmmm interesting. Out of all the roms I have tried for the droid Incredible, CM7 has by far been the most stable. Never had any trouble with it and I have, at times, used it for months before trying a different rom.
Oh I know! It seems to catch everyone off guard because it works fine for X number of weeks or months and then... FC and freeze hell!
A lot of the folks found it happened shortly after upgrading from 7.0 to 7.1. But just in the last couple of days I have run across a couple of people that were still using 7.0 and now seem to have the issue.
The guy at CM who does most everything for the Dinc seems to think it was related to a full /data/data partition. I reinstalled fresh and did the ext4 "no data limit" mod, after first having the issue, and it made no difference at all. So, I gave up on CM the same day.
CM7 nightlies have actually been my daily driver for most of my time having service on the Incredible.
I've heard the force close issues have been due to /data/data filling up. If you keep 20MB free or more you should be fine. Root explorer is one app that will list how much free is on /data/data and a recommended app for any rooted phone. the CM7 nigthly thread has a few suggestions on how to free space. Search not enough space on the nightlies thread.
Edit: I see you posted about the /data/data partition already.
Thanks for this tidbit... I haven't had the issue, nor do i plan on getting it.. I'm pretty adamant about keeping a certain percentage of free space on all partitions, so hopefully everything runs smooth.
Thanks again for the heads up.

Don't let this Guy talk you out of cm7. I've been running the same kang for almost a month. And I ran the stable from October 9th til December 19th. It was always my fallback. I've never had issues, and as big as the nightlies/stable threads are. Why would you let one sway you?
-My life is a shooting range, people never change-
Correct, don't let one guy do that.
Certainly don't allow your own haywire experience affect your judgment.
And certainly don't allow these dozens of folks who posted on the CM incredible forum to have any influence on your decision.
http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/32784-consistent-freezingfc-after-update-to-71/
Only listen to one guy who is running some OTHER build, that everything is perfect.
Your sarcasm is too advanced, my friend... ;] lol

Use Pons 7.2 kang. I've been since he started and all is well. I was running the nightlies before that and have never had any issues.

i'm thinking of going with aokp, but it's kinda a "turn off" for me when it comes out with a weekly build and i feel the need to constantly check on the forums and flash to a new one
what's a good one that is just solid that doesn't require a new build update every week?
You can go Aokp because the last stable build is milestone #4 all the other builds that come out are just a nightly.

i understand but having nightly builds makes me feel like i need to constantly upgrade to the newest one
Just... don't update then? If your setup works well just leave it. You can always skip updates.
I'd go with Bamf Paradigm. Uniquely built AOSP rom, stable, and good battery life. Try it for yourself, you'll be amazed
And quality over quantity - no hyper change logs every 4 days, but if you're in for something different, jump in.
if that is such a problem then just flash AOKP Milestones... not AOKP Nightlies + Milestones.
Milestones are for people who don't want to keep updating. These milestones come 1-2 week.
Honestly, if updating a ROM / Kernel is a "turn off" because a developer is maintaining their ROM / kernel at a rate to improve your phone more and more and you don't want to stick with that maybe you should of stayed on stock ROM/kernel? Because this is like me hearing that people are complaining about a dev updating their ROM / kernel way too much.
When you rush through things and do not test enough, you end up missing issues, which ncreases the need to update the rom more frequently.
BAMF Paradigm does not release updates like mad because for every release, we have at least 3-4 testing releases to our beta testers to find and fix bugs. We do not like to consider our users the beta testers.
Are people flashing too much? I only update my kernel and have kept AOSP 8/21...everything is fine except for a camera blurriness on some shots. other than that I'm happy with it.
I personally just flash the latest AOKP build every night because there's always some cool new feature to play around with each release.

There is no such thing as too much flashing (especially after you've made an IMEI backup).
You're missing out on new features and bugfixes. If you don't care about new features and bugfixes (and reporting them) then you shouldn't have flashed a nightly in the first place. Stay on stock or wait for a stable release.
theres alot of performance and stability fixes in every build that improve battery life and make your phone faster. also only the latest nightly is officially supported so if you have any problems they can't really help you if your not on the latest build
Or you can just do a monthly build which they deem more stable. Thats what I'm using and havent seen any real problems.
