[Q] Questions about nightly builds - Defy General

Hi, I currently have Beta 6 installed and I was wondering:
a) how to install a nightly build (I've read some different approaches to this, especially which caches to wipe)?
b) is it possible to downgrade to an earlier nightly build the same way?
Thanks a lot!

You have to go into custom recovery then wipe cache partition then delvik then install the nightly. If you want to go back just do the same process as if you are updating.

Hey guys whats the difference between nightly builds and beta 6 ??

The nightly builds are updated more frequently then the beta. It is like versions of cm7 before a major beta release or rc0 release.

When you saw a new advance in changelog , but no maj yet .
The nightly is build with this change .
For downgrade , this is juste a rom you can wipe and restore a old maj ^^

Yer the latest nightly builds came out wondering if that ones running good if anyone's tried it let me know otherwise i wont bother installing it
Thanks guys

Does anyone have a known good link to a tutorial that would help us further understand the process of moving from CM7 beta 6 to a nightly build?

[Q] CM6 Nightly Is messing up my home and search also

So I was having problems with CM6 rc2 screwing up my home and search buttons and they wouldnt work.
So from reccomendation I flashed to the latest nightly. Well now I'm on the latest nightly I rebooted my phone to fix a sms problem and now the buttons aren't working again.
What do I do?
Is there a better rom then cm6? or is there a more stable nightly that's better then RC-2?
Rc 2 is the most stable. U have to wipe cache and the drive.. Nightlies are not for users who need a stable rom

See and everyone told me the issue I'm having is standard with the RC-2 so that's why I flashed it.
Does anyone know what could be causing this problem I'm having?
Did you file a bug report on the issue tracker? Might want to start there. Or hop on #CyanogenMod on Freenode.

Hi all,

I am all set to flash a custom rom, but dont know which version to install.(RC0 or RC1, + 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 )
I have green lens. (Soc module, NOT BAYER )
I also wish to preserve my downgradability.(just in case if I wud need to seek warranty in future)
I shall be really thankful if someone could give me the direct link to the ROM best suited for me. Bug fixed ROMs shall be appreciated.
T.I.A.

Try everything. I prefer cyanogenmod and the latest nightlys but used miui and leaked gigngerbread for a while. If you dont flash leked gingerbread sbf you can always downgrade to stock

Flash the CEE DEBLUR sbf and then CM7 nightly from 0822. People seem to have much success with that one.

Could I get the link to best version of cm7 ??
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
this is the 110822 BOOT179-4 nightly, im using it, and a lot of others, seems to be the best one so far.
Thanks a lot for the link.
By the way, is this nightly better than the RC1 v2 version being provided by Quarx?
Also are there any bugs reported in this version linked by you?
And lastly, will I have to install any post installation fixes ??
Plz do reply quickly, I cant wait to flash GB in my phone
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App

Shall i install the zip through recovery? Do i need to wipe data/cache before flashing the nightly?
Will this nightly enable full screen recording?

[Q] Upgrading to CyanogenMod Snapshot

Hello, I've worked with custom roms and such before, but only stable things. I installed the Cyanogenmod 10.1 nightly builds, and I've been updating them every day, through TWRP by just flashing the rom, and gapps. A snapshot was just released, and I was wondering if I just do it the same method, or do I have to do the wipe system and all that when you first install a brand new rom. I'm pretty sure I do it the same way, but I just want to make sure there isn't have to be anything else. Better safe than sorry.
Oh my why are you going through all that trouble CyanogenMod has a built in updater all you do is go to about and then CyanogenMod update I believe it will ask you the frequency to check for updates. Make sure you change the options to nightly builds. The phone will notify you when there's an update, after downloading the phone will update itself and all your apps will still be there so you won't need to flash G apps each time.

The process to do this is called a "dirty flash" because you are flashing over what you already have without wiping again. Usually if its an updated version of the same rom you dont need to rewipe everything
However, if you come upon this in some other rom (you're updating to a new version of it), make sure that the OP's instructions dont mention a full flash, because the nature of some big updates WILL require you to do a full wipe and then flash
But for this specific case, just do what the guy above me said

It is a more stable build designation. Still not an official release. Think of it as a monthly nightly!
Thank you!
