You have two choices: flash a stable release, or a nightly. Stable releases are obviously more stable. Nightlies are released after the stable releases, and may contain newer things, but also may not run as well. As for what nightly you should flash, most people flash the latest one, and flash a new one every night, hence the term nightly.
idk how my device will react

the only way to know is to try it. As long as you make a nandroid backup before you flash, if anything goes wrong or you dont like it, just restore that.

Its true that pictures are not taken a full 8mp on CM?

They're taken at 8MP.

FYI, you could have found all this information in the CM thread, instead of making a new one.

Cm7 or cm7 nightly

What's the differences between the two? Right now I'm running cm7 RC right now so can someone tell me what the big difference is please
Sent from my PC36100
A stable build is just that; an RC [release candidate] is a stable build where everything works, no bugs. A nightly is a nightly/weekly build that has newer add-ons to enhance the rom, though sometimes there are occasional bugs, that are worked out in the next build.
So if I try the cm7 180 nightly there will me new features in it compared to the cm7 RC I'm running or will it be more the same

The link shows everything that was added in each nightly, and I would recommend updating to a newer nightly. Though you will need to backup your apps+data along with launcher settings, as you'll have to install it under a fresh instal [full wipe].
Really is it worthrunnong than NY cm7 rc
Sent from my PC36100
Personally I say yes; better functionality, more features, such as to mute camera shutter, built in screen capture, separate lock screen background.
And that's the nightly 202 would u have to update everyday lol or what

I used to read the nightlies log and decide if I wanted to flash daily or wait until a feature I NEEDED fixed was fixed.

Try gingerbread-evo-deck.
I used to use CM7 and it drove me nuts because I always felt I had to flash the latest nightly, and I did! I got so tired of reflashing, and recovering from buggy nightlies, so I decided to try Deck's GB ROM. It is AOSP like CM7 (I think it's based off of it as well), but slimmed down and faster. I get better battery life, better performance, and there aren't crazy nightlies as much as CM7. It's very stable and nice to not feel like I have to flash another nightly.

What's the best ROM for the Ding in your opinion??

Soo. I've been flashing ROM's for a while now, well I've gone through a Sanyo zip, a kyocera milano, a ghetto ass "Sawee Pad" that i cant do crap woth really, then i got my incredible and ive gone from cm7 v13 to cm9 Kangs, to Peter Alfonso's Pete_Inc_03_10_12, to few others. The thing is, I really like ICS, but everything I've flashed in some way or another was unstable and I dreaded installing apps or anything else for that matter. So I've been back to cm7 v13 for about a month now.. what's the best overall most stable ICS ROM out there for the incredible? I don't care about fancy schmancy customizations. I want something basic and very stable (or just super awesome thats stable) I would love to hear your opinions, pros/cons. I will be researching most of the night I'm sure. I use my Ding for a lot of things, gaming/movies/music/inet surfing.. just wanna flash a new ROM and wanting your opinions. Thanks

I am on cm9 unofficial. Its highly stable, at least for me and fast too. Am running stock kernel.
Hope it helps you.

If you keep the stock kernel, they are almost all stable. The different kernels will cause some phone to freeze when plugging and unplugging.
It's hard to keep it all straight but I believe you need a 3rd party video app to record video ( video cam illusions) in most ics roms. Build 38 and 39 of AOKP do not work on the dinc, both cm9's and the new abduction are really smooth. Just flash and enjoy, that's my motto.
Ah so that's why it didn't work. CM 7.2 is much, much quicker though.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA
Well after a few hours of reading, imma try and flash in-sensative minimalist sometime today. I know its not ICS, but it'll do. Imma keep reading and see what I come across, maybe ill try a different version of cm9 and see if I can find something more stable than what I had.

I've been using Hanger's Abduction for months now. Installed the latest last night and each release gets better. Everything seems to work for me (I don't use the video camera so I can't talk about that). Previous versions there was some hanging when unplugging from charger, and a few random quick reboots. So far so good on latest but it has only been 7 hours...

For all out stability without any misfeatures, CM7 w/ stock kernel. If an alternate kernel is stable for you, then great.
That said, invisiblek's ICS builds are getting there, but there's still some weirdness here and there.
I've heard that the latest evervolv ICS alpha is really nice, and they've got the video camera working -- I haven't tried it myself though. Videocam Illusions just records in MJPEG -- you've got to be desperate for ICS + videocam to want to use that.
Throwing my vote in for pures anthem ROM. Buttery smooth, fast, and stable. Oh, and pretty. only issue I have is that sometimes 3g disappears, and a restart is required to fix it.

I would love to be on ICS ROM as well...but I have some misgivings about it. Even if some ICS ROMs may be stable, from what I see, they are still slower and grab more battery then our GB ROMs. That's a deal breaker right there. I don't understand why people want ICS soooo badly on their Dinc if its gonna be like that. Stable is great...but its gonna hog more battery
I'm on the latest RC of CM7.2 with Chad/Tiny Incredikernel and couldn't be happier. Stable, Fast, and battery efficient.....
I have an extended battery and get the same or better. Dinc accessories are getting cheap on amazon. I can get about 18 he with 3hr + of screen on.
Sent from my ADR6300 using xda app-developers app
I agree with previous posts about ICS roms having poor battery life. From what I've tried, they do not have anywhere near as many features as cm7. If it is not possible for cm9 to run efficiently on the dinc I hope development on cm7 continues into the future. I run the latest cm7 nightly with incredikernal, v6 supercharger, kickass kernalizer, adrenaline shot and 3g turbocharger scripts. I also updated the radio to the new one in the general section. My phone has never performed better

Battery life is subjective and different people may have different capacity batteries at different points in their lifespan and different usage levels. I for one think it's decent, maybe not as good as cm7 but probably better than the galaxy nexus.
Oh and not to mention different screen types, AMOLED can drain faster than SLCD.
Which ICS rom is the most stable and has the most features working?
The CM9 nightly, well at least I believe so.

That's what I was leaning towards, thanks. I also am interested in the Touchwiz 5.1.2 rom and ParanoidAndroid, though the latter seems to not be ready yet (phone errors and fc'ing).
It's a little overwhelming coming in as a noob. I'm wanting to put some life back into my dinc.
Would the latest CM9 nightly be the best start? Anything I should know about? Is flashing a new kernel worth it, or should I stick with stock? So far I followed a guide here to get root, but I'm still S-On for now until I decide which rom to go with..then I plan on downgrading to get S-Off, flashing a rom, and updating my radio.

first thing first, get S-Off in your DInc .
idk the best start to try a rom, but maybe u can try an aosp GB which is CM7 or miui.
but if ur very interested in ICS UI then CM9 all the way. there is a lot of CM9 mod such as invisiblek's, abduction, kang's, and others, and there is also a combine cm9 + miui such as miui v4 ics.
its up to you which one u will pick, or ur gonna try them all (like me lol) just remember to make a nandroid backup.
happy flashing rom's

by the way, I was S-ON for a while, flashed an ICS rom, and had to go through ****s to get S-OFF. You can look near the end of scottys guide to see You can be as noob as possible, once u get CWM recovery, its as simple as putting the rom on your SD card, then going into recovery and selecting to flash it. I would recommend tiny's incredikernel HWA RC1

S-off'd and flashed the 7/5 cm9 nightly last night. Wow. Its like I have a new phone.
Couple things. Text input lags a bit. Anything to speed that up? Performance is pretty good overall but I feel like it could be better. Battery life seems to be on par with stock (buying an extended soon cause I'm still on the original battery). I also seem to be running a bit warmer than stock. Will a new kernel help?

Well, nightlies are a new build every night, so they can vary. Sometimes features are added & removed, as nightlies are test builds before a RC(release candidate).

This is true.... Anyone who's enjoying cm10, it's at least worth your time to check out the nightlies.
Installed cm 10 for the first time last night. So far so good. Fast as hell on the stock kernel, can't wait to get some over clocking ability with it. This nightly should be called a daily instead.

no offense, but i highly doubt that it should be called a daily. there are still LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS of things that need to be fixed and implemented into these CM10 builds. everyone working on it is doing an AMAZING job, but it isnt a daily just yet. still has some reboot issues for some, screen flicker, etc...
i just hope its not too long till the RCs start comin.
Disabling HW overlay solves the flickering and reboot issues. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend trying it out. I ended up going back to freegs3 however. I actually admit that i missed a lot of tw's interface and features. After the cm10 settled a bit it seemed to be just as fast as freegs3 (overclocked) with the exception of improved touch response. Battery life was a bit better too since i have to oc to match cm10's speed.
I love cm10 but the data speeds suck on it. 5-6 mbps. Curious about the nightlies though. And I never ever had reboot issues with cm10.

Well, I ran cm10 for about 5hrs today, and out of roughly 10 phone calls, 3 of them lead to a reboot mid call. I didn't try a reinstall and I also never really looked into it. Maybe fixing permissions, clearing cache & dalvik would've helped resolve the issue, or I could've had a bad flash? Just because it happens to one person doesn't necessarily mean it will happen to everyone.
Very true.

What's the proper procedure for flashing nightlies over one another? Is it simply wipe cache, wipe dalvik cash, flash latest nightly, reboot? IIRC a full wipe is not necessary when flashing a new nightly over a previous nightly, correct?

as far as i know it is not necessary, but it is, as always, highly suggested. bug reports hold less water if it is not a clean install, and you are more likely to run into bugs especially as they fix the bigger issues.

AFAIK there is no CM8... And for CM7, I don't believe ARCO ever built CM7 for galaxy w. There is a CM7 port in development section if I remember correctly. It is not from ARCO and it had some bugs....
May I ask why you don't like the last three versions. CM9 is pretty much bug free and quite stable. Even CM10 is pretty stable and currently using it. It is stable enough for me for daily use.

Because they drain too much battery and after some period they start to give some problem. At the beginning they are awesome but after they're not pretty good.

If you don't like sir arco's work, you can just use stock rom, which is samsung's work. Just don't put a bad comment, not stable enough or what so ever. I don't know why you still feel that cm9 also not stable enough. I think all the cm9, cm10 and cm10.1 are all very stable and very good for daily use.

OK first of all cool down a little bit. Everybody has different needs and what maybe stable for you might not be stable for somebody else. For me I had reboot issues for a very long time with CM9 but so many did not. But with the latest releases, bugs that bothered me disappeared.
And don't blame people for searching alternatives to satisfy their needs. And not everybody has development skills to built roms.
Sometimes I don't get you people. CM is not a religion and arco is not a prophet. I don't get why you people are so serious.
I am grateful that ARCO developed CM for us and I can't thank him enough. But gee it is just a phone and a ROM.
My suggestion to you is to CHILL...

No, Arco is no prophet, just human like you and me. There you are right. He is a very smart guy who deserves a lot of thanks for porting CM9 to this device.
You just must understand many people are really really very thankful to him and sometimes overstating by threating him like a god.
I for myself also do not understand why CM9 isn´t working stable for you. It´s a really stable rom. Way more stable than Samsungs stock ROMs. With these I had always random reboots. That´s not the case since using Arcos CM9. Maybe it´s some apps you are using or your SDCard causing this.
Ok, but to be honest regarding stability in the final release I can´t tell. I was using RC2 with it´s older kernel till now because of the battery drain. it was running absolutely stable for me without any issues plus it gave me a awesome battery life, so I compiled my own kernel where i reduced it further. So if you are not satisfied with the final, you can try RC2 or RC3 together with my kernel. It gives way better battery life than Samsungs stock ROM will ever offer you.
However I updated last night to the final release and the battery drain appears to be the same like using Arcos CM9 RC2 with its stock kernel. So if the results will satisfy me, I will stay with the final and build a new personal kernel for it.

Most of the latest ROMs are based on ARCO's CM versions and I believe they will perform on the same level. However some of them may have some extra customizations to improve battery and performance etc. You may want to check their threads and see their features. Also there are some custom ROMs based on stock Samsung Roms. (Gingerbread) Like FAW, rebel etc. They may have custom kernels to speed up the phone.
When was the last time you tried CM9? Because as @honeyx noted, the latest version does seem to have good battery performance and stability.

hey honeyx, will you develop a custom kernel for EOL version since it is equally good in terms of battery and stability?

I think so, but I will focus on reducing the consumption further than adding a lot of governors. But this will require a lot of testing before launching it. Currently I´m testing the newer 3.0.81 kernel to which Arco updated his sources after launching the final release. This new kernel just has some changes in memory management like the latest kernel for CM10.1 where some people reported to get hangs. So I just added the lulzactive governor, incrased ram and reduced the voltages to first check it´s stability, but so far I didn´t get any hangs and freezes in games.
I´m really anal about stability and consumption and only will release a kernel that is working rock solid for me.

Carbon nightly

I put this on my device yesterday and very glad that I did.
Previously I had Hellybean, and cyanogen 10.1.3 on phone. Helly crashed too often and cyanogen was a battery hog. Plus, cyanogen is not nearly as stable as one would expect from it being such a popular Rom.
Butt I've found that carbon has all the right tweaks, battery life, etc etc.
Any thoughts on this Rom? Should I be updating it daily since it is a nightly our can I just stay with the one I have right now?

firstly, this is the wrong thread to ask something this thread is specific for development purposes, asking questions about a rom in their specific thread is ok, but for general questions there's a different part of this device's forum
secondly, its not needed to update on a daily basis, nightlies do tend to fix some sort of issue or bring some sort of improvement to the rom, its basically depending on what has changed (see the changelogs for that) in order to decide to update or not.
If the rom works as it should, then just update whenever you feel the need to update, but what i mostly do with roms like pac and such who release a new nightly every day is to download it, wait for a while and see if anyone starts complaining about issues coming with the new release, if there's none i simply flash it myself. And sometimes i simply don't feel like updating it every day and i'll wait a week or so (depending on if i'm still on that rom or if i'm trying out a new one )
nightlies don't necesarily mean that everything works as it should, instead something might get broken while something else has been fixed.
speaking of cm, there's a lot of custom roms a lot more stable than cm is, and i'm honestly not expecting for that rom to get any better with a lot of the devs leaving and starting the omnirom project
i do have high hopes for omnirom though
I'll check out ommirom.
I didn't see any listings for a section specifically for Carbon ROM. If you have a link that would be awesome.

don't now if there is one though, but there's a q&a thread which questions like yours are normally aksed in
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136885 i think is the one you should be asking rom related questions in for carbon, it looks like that one is aimed at the note 2 lte variants
