If I flash the nightly cm7 builds as they are released, should I flash my current kernel to it, or should I just leave it. Also, which is the best nightly so far?

Any time you flash a nightly it will overwrite the existing kernel so if you have a preferred kernel you can flash it after flashing the ROM. I personally am staying on CM7 RC4 as there haven't been enough changes other than bug fixes that I feel the need to update to the latest nightly. The first post in the CM7 RC2.5 thread in android development has a lot.
The stock kernel many people say is really good though some great alternatives that I have used are Chad's Incredikernel and Cayniarb's Tiamat kernel, the second of which I am using for the Dinc.
But don't all of the nightlys have different kernels?
Not every new nightly has a change to the kernel but when flashing any nightly, it'll flash the kernel on that nightly as the kernel is always part of a CM rom.
I don't believe the kernel has changed in the nightlies since March.
My advice is to try out the kernel and if you are not satisfied with it you can flash your current kernel on top of it.

Ok sorry if this question is noobish but what is the difference?
They are both cyanogenmods but two different Download Thread.
Nightly's are not offically released by Cyanogen and RC's are, but they are both compiled by the same team. Plus RC's are considered stable enough for official release.

Nightlies are what CM7 RC1 is based off of. It essentially IS one of the nightlies. The nightlies are automatically built by a bot every night at the same time so that all the changes made that day are packaged into a rom and that is what becomes the next nightly.
The nightlies will continue to be built becauase RC1 means release candidate and is not considered stable.
They will eventually release an official CM7 Stable.

LOL "Built by a Bot Every Night" You made it sound so leet lol. I always it was some dude who just updates it and put it on.
But thanks. I am using RC1 right now everything is working so far. My last nightly was giving me reboot when i open my keyboard.
Also, you can always continue to flash the next versions of nightlies over the RC1, as other improvements and changes are made.

So the nightlies folowing an RC are based on the RC or on the previous nightly?
I just flashed koni's elite II rom (which is awesome) and i want a really fast kernel that's compatible, any suggestions?
any sense kernel. try a few. when i was on sense, i either used netarchy's newest cfs version, or one of ziggy's beta kernels (www.ziggy471.com). i also like calkulin's modded htc 15 kernel. try cyanogenmod nightly 7 stock kernel is new and beast. or try savagezen on aosp.
Thanks man
no problem
I wouldn't have advised him to use and AOSP kernel on a Sense rom.

" try cyanogenmod nightly 7 stock kernel is new and beast. or try savagezen on aosp."
i'd say thats clear enough. you can mock me for being wrong when he flashes savagezen over myns (which would totally be worth the pictures of fail that people would post btw)
What are Cyanogenmod Nightly ROMs? I would like to run one but am not sure what the difference is.
They are regular roms of CM7, but each nightly builds upon the last by updating fixes, patches, and new features.
Alright thanks.
Anytime man.
Im currently on daily #69 and thinking about upgrading to the latest #111.
Should i upgrade to the latest? Im using the latest Telus radio as well. Is there a good kernel to use on top of the latest?
Cyanogenmod released 7.10 RC1 about two hours ago. Would recommend you go for that one instead of nightly 111. Mix it with LordModUE 4.5.1 and it should be a nice combo. Just be weary of battery drain issues if you flash the kernel version with 2 way call recording.
Full wipe is probably a good idea. Just nandroided and am about to flash myself.
I'm agree, prefer the 7.1 RC and you must do a full wipe because there is lot of changes between #69 and 7.1 RC. LordModUE is a very good option.
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.
