So I have a n00b question because I am new to the Incredible (I have a Fascinate so I'm familiar with Android). What is the difference between Cyanogenmod 7 RC1 and Nightlies? Any advantages or disadvantages to either?
Release Candidates are more stable and most functions should work. Nightlies are obviously released nightly, and different things will break as more things are added. Things will get fixed, but more things will break.

anybody have any recomendations or thoughts on any alternative gingerbread based custom roms for the g2? i love cyanogenmod not bashing it at all, theres just a few perticular reasons i dont want to use it anymore but thats another thread already. thanks for any info
MIUI 1.8.12 - Why not give that a try. There's no sense.
well there's stock G2 OTA rooted builds up. There's also a couple other AOSP based ROMs like g-lite and one stock 2.3 build by xboarder56.
I'm running a CM7 nightly right now. But sometimes I like to run a MIUI with launcher Pro. Smooth neat Improvements.
thanks for the feedback everyone. im just actually looking at replies as i was sick for a few days. im very much considering the miui but the one time i did flash it i was almost confused by the completly redesigned settings menu almost overwhelming, very cool rom though. what i really want it basically a tuned down cyanmod, i do love his roms its just that 65-70% of the options in it i dont and will never use. i understand why all the tweaks its so it includes something for everyone. actually is there a cyanogenmod online kitchen? that could be my cup of tea perhaps.

Should I install cyanogenmod 7 on my HTC Wildfire.
Is it safe?,what will i get whit THAT?,will I be able to do things that I can do now?,which will be the consequences....
I was asking myself that questions for a weeks and I still don't know.
I have heard that there were some a problems after installing cyanogenmod 7 ,like problems with market,freezing,bricking....
.
ps.sorry about my grammar
- Take a Nandroid Backup (VERY important)
- Install CM7
- Test it, Look around
- If you like it, keep it
- If you don't, do a Nandroid Restore. Back to square one with no losses.
It is different from a normal Stock Sense ROM. Feature lists can be found here:

http://www.cyanogenmod.com/about/features
While I cannot guarantee you will not experience bugs, the question of bricks doesn't arise (Unless you do something absurdly stupid).
How can I unistall it. Is there some tutorial or something.

Just go into Recovery and restore the previous made Backup.
But how to make backup

You should honestly read and learn more about these processes before trying to install ROMs. Lack of basic knowledge is the main reason of bricking devices. Then when your device turns into a paperweight, you will only have yourself to blame.

CM 7.1.0.1 is the latest stable version with no bugs. The Nightlies are development builds which are released daily. They include the latest features but are not stable and will contain bugs. Since this is your first attempt at this, I would recommend using the stable build.
Make sure you read the first 2 posts in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1029318
Don't attempt to root and flash a custom ROM to your phone before you understand exactly what you are doing. If you do understand, then the process is easy and you won't brick your phone.
Edit: Apparently the latest nightly is bug free so ignore me and use that if you want.
Although I agree with what you're saying about fully understanding what you're doing before rooting etc and partly agree with flashing the stable version first I don't agree with this part.

In the beginning I guess that may have been true but nowadays I believe the cm team has gotten it down to a fine art.
I've been using nightlies since about build #80 I have only ever noticed 1 bug other than the ones i created myself, and I only spotted that because Arco mentioned it, he changed something and broke the camera which was fixed the next day.
The nightlies have stopped for the moment and the last one #256 is perfectly stable and bug free, also the one i use, 7.2 rc0 that erwinp compiled is also stable and bug free, plus the extra features make it worthwhile ditching the stable and upgrading.

Ah fair enough. I haven't bothered with nightlies for a long time as I don't have time to mess about flashing a new ROM everyday.
I'll edit my post.
I had decided to install cm 7.1 and its so great,I suggest cm 7 to everyone who was undecided, and thanks for you guys for help.

I'm looking at doing this to my missus wildfire. Will she notice a performance boost? She spends hours on angry birds... Because it's so slow! I wondered if anyone noticed if the phones speed was improved with cm7 or any other ROM or will it need overclocking?
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Angry birds runs for me on overclocked cm7 without any lag at all. If you do decide to root and install cm7 the built in kernel allows for overclocking up to 768mhz anyway.
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using xda premium
Thats sounds like it's the one I want then. Does it look like the standard operating system and does it have all the same apps etc? I'd preffer it to not look any differant if possible so she doesn't have the oportunity to moan at me
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using Tapatalk
Sorry mate cm7 is based on gingerbread and comes with adw launcher, the stock Rom is completely different as it comes with HTC sense preinstalled on top of the android OS which contains all the HTC apps she's used to seeing, there are a couple of custom roms based on stock which do have all the apps. Only problem you might face is that sense is more resource hungry than cm7. I'm currently on one now, dk custom so I'll just install angry birds now and see how it goes.
Edit: I've just done the first 7 levels of angry birds lag free on dk custom Rom so it should be fine for her.
This thread is full of information about rooting,s-offing and installing clockworkmod recovery so you can flash a custom Rom etc

Excelent, cheers Scratch. I'm s-off'd, cwm, rooted and i'm going.to unlock on my sesation so i think i've grasped th basics so i feel confident to get started on hers. I'll look into that custom rom and try to find one I can put on. I thought if it looks the same as it does now but goes a bit better then i'll be in the good books

Hi, just wondering which of the ports of the CM9 ROMs is better since Im seeing a couple of them from different teams/devs. I mean, is there a difference from one to the other? Is there an edge to any of them? Thanx in advance for your time and effort.

I'm running the latest nightly as of July 7 and have no issues. I mean it feels a tad laggy but it's still under development so it's to be understood. I'm still loving it though!

Milestone 6 by far, latest build as of July 9th is great

Um, thats AOKP.. not CM9
AFAIK, Team Chopsticks are the only ones actually submitting patches to CM (they are the official maintainers for our devices). All of the other posts are either nightlies being built by someone else, or someone else adding little tweaks/themes. IMHO, you will be best off running the Alpha builds that Team Chopsticks posts or using the official nightlies from get.cm. It's unlikely, but be aware that nightlies might occasionally break.
You'd think I would have figured this out by now, but having been a CM9 loyalist since day one I never bothered to learn what any of the others constitute beyond looking at what their acronyms stood for.
So my questions are as follows:
1) What exactly is the difference between Android Open Source, Android Open Kang, and CyanogenMod? My initial understanding (and this was when I followed the stuff more closely on the HP Touchpad) was that AOSP was built directly from the source Google released, CM9 took it and tweaked it for the specific device, and AOKP piggybacked off that to further tweak. I'm not so sure anymore.
2) Who's developing what? I thought the three branches were distinct but then I see sbrissen and chris seemingly making commits to both CM and AOSP, so I'm a little confused by this.
3) What's receiving the most development right now? I was on CM9 Alpha 6 for the longest time. I was debating from moving to a CM9 nightly or a CM10 beta, but the separate thread for AOSP Jellybean made me wonder what exactly that offered vs CM10. I was tempted to stay on CM9 just because it's been around longer but I haven't seen any "official" updates in awhile (i.e. ones on the e4gt.blogspot.com site--I'm sure the nightlies are official in some sense). Is it still even being worked on by the CM team anymore or have they all jumped ship to CM10 development?
As of right now I just flashed the FH13 ICS Stock onto my phone to see how that works out. When the other roms reach a better level of stability I'll probably move back to one of the CM's, but I wanted some idea of what I'm flashing before I do.
Thanks in advance.
Aosp is pure android like on a nexus.

Okay...half-answered one of my three questions...and I kind already knew that.
Thanks anyway.
Google it. You will get your answers. Most pointing to the xda forums.

Cm9 is still being worked on. Chris41g is working on making it officially supported. His nightlies are so much better than alpha 6. I'd recommend upgrading to a nightly if you are on a6. Sbrissens jb aosp is also amazing as well. For me the jump from his alpha 4 to 5 was a huge difference in terms of battery life. I haven't had any los on it or any other problems on it. Recently on one of the alphas (idr which one, probably the latest) he added the status bar toggles so that was a huge plus as well. It still doesn't have the customization of cm10 but it's still amazing.

i've been trying numerous CM builds in my dinc including PONS builds, condemned, and the newest nightlys. i still havent been able to really solidify that one is better than the other. anyone wanna share some experience on which might be better? specifically ive been deciding between the newest nightlys and condemned's stable build. which do you guys think is better?
I've always like Pons' kangs for the open commits. Maybe if you ask really nicely, he'll update his build. However there may not be any changes worth rebuilding for.

another big question is, do you guys all use adrenaline mod? if so, with what rom? i found that adrenaline didnt have much of an effect on condemned, whereas on the new nightlys (like the one posted today), it seems to make a big difference. is this because of the tweaks done to condemned? are they better tweaks? sorry if i sound like some college girl who knows nothing but this has been rocking my mind a bit
Which ROM is best/most stable is subjective depending on who you talk to, ask 10 different people, get 10 different answers. These types of threads aren't encouraged and hence closed but you can read and join in with the discussion in the General forum here as this was left to stop further threads being opened.
