what difference between CM7 nightly builds and CM7 v7.0.2
New stuff in the nightlies:
- Android 2.3.4
- Javascript V8 engine
- New kernel (2.6.35) with swap support
- Far too many general optimizations to list
Nigltlys are less stable.

Nightlies are built nightly by a auto generation script and uploaded, anytime a new addition is made to the rom, they are not always stable and can be seen as a beta test for a new feature.
The official releases are stable, most bugs sorted out and has a greater support than the nightlies
Nightlies are less stable but got the latest stuffs if u wanna try 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'm new to the ROM stuffs.So can any one explain what is the difference between CM7 and the nightly build one??
Nightlies are automated builds, with potentially more new features, and more bugs. So, they are not officially supported (As in, support for bugs). Stable, as the name suggests, is a stable build with official support for bugs.
So If we wan't a stable rom, we shouldn't use nightly build right??
Probably Yes. But it isn't always that you are using a nightly, it will be full of bugs. I am using a Nightly and have no issues.
yes , nightly's have bugs sometime so if u want stable rom use CM7-7.0.3 which is the latest stable release
what exactly is the purpose of the cm nightly roms? sure they're auto-compiled from the cm github, and with each release there are new fixes, corrections, etc. so they're more updated than the stable, but what function do they serve?
is it a developer's testing version or something?

CM nightly builds usually have the latest and greatest versions of kernels, apps, etc. on them. As a result, some of what you see on the nightlies won't make it to the RCs or the Stable builds.
Didn't you answer your own question in the OP?
The nightly builds include the latest additions/fixes/corrections to CM7, over and above what the RC and Stables have.
They're for people who want to have the absolutely most up-to-date build of CM7 on their device. In many cases there are large fixes and upgrades in the nightlies that you can have weeks ahead of them being integrated into a RC or Stable release. If you flash nightlies then you just upgrade your ROM a few features at a time, rather than 30 features all at once moving from one Stable to another.
Nightlies aren't usually recommended for the new user unless you're adventurous. Although they're generally stable (sometimes moreso than the 'Stable' release), there are inherent issues with flashing the newest ROM version every night. If you're willing to take it on you can but there's no guarantee that they work as you'd expect.

No what I meant was what purpose does it serve?
Is it supposed to be a developer's version of the CM7 ROM to see what new additions work and what still needs fixing and such.

I would imagine even though we are not allowed to report bugs the CM devs to use the nightly builds to find and fix bugs.

Yes generally this.
In ratio to how many people use it to be on the cutting edge, id say the ones who actually use it for dev purposes is highly negligible lol.

Quick question what is the difference between the nightly, stable, and experimental builds?
RC- the first stable release candidate (stable but 4g doesn't work)
nightlies- contain the latest updates to the CM7 Rom, all the new ones are generally very stable with a few known bugs.
I'm on nightly 25 and having no problems other than a few known bugs (volume on incoming calls, etc.)

Umm no to the RC0 The RC0 has 4G working. And some newer nightlies may incorporate new things but some things make it unstable too.

What about experimental builds?

We only have the RC0 and nightlies. The Nightlies could be considered experimental or more of an Alpha towards a possible Beta. The CM7 thread with WiMAX in the title is the one to follow to see how people are fairing running the latest nightly.
What's cyanigen? Is that like a chineese knockoff of cyanogen?
Sorry couldn't help it...

I would recommend using @karthick mostwanted's latest available UNOFFICIAL Cyanogenmod 11 (KitKat 4.4.4) build.
This is because it is the most stable custom ROM build I have used for this device; this is mostly due to the CM12 and CM13 ROMs currently not being suitable for lower-end devices (not enough RAM and slower processors), as well as them being in alpha and beta stages of development. Please do keep in mind that the latest build (cm-11-20161130-UNOFFICIAL-nevisp.zip) from karthick111 comes with a few main issues/bugs (brightness slider, Bluetooth and video recording not working, and missing flashlight toggle) which should be fixed when Karthick is able to get the 5 December 2016 security patch working, so keep an eye out on the UNOFFICIAL Cyanogenmod 11 thread, or karthick111's Android File Host downloads folder for the next build.
Not Recommened
But You Can Have Anxhalls Cm11 with no bugs
Clean and stable From his site Droidfame
Or Cm11 by Wulsic is the most stabled Rom
cm 13 by Karthikk in android file host is little bit stable only a few bugs
camera
sound recorder
audio fx and
small bugs
Not Too bad its a Useful Rom
