Ummmm.... which one should I flash??
Oh and why
Thanks =)
The Nightly's has fixed some issues in the last RC. Flash the Nightly.
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA Premium App
The latest nightly obviously is more up to date, and it of course has the fixes that the RC2 doesn't. I don't think anyone will tell you that it's any more or less stable than the RC2. For most people, the GPS has been fixed in the last few builds as well.
If I had to give a recommendation I'd say flash the nightly, the RC2 is quite old at this point as far as builds go.
Which to flash
I believe you have to flash RC2 and then the latest nightly over it, but I could be wrong on that, its just what I always have done. In fact I suggest you flash the new nightlies every time they come out. There have been a couple of times where the new nightly has screwed up more then it has fixed but the majority of the time its an improvement. Actually let me correct myself. usually I don't notice a difference however if you read the discussion forum for the nightlies then you see the problems that people had been having and are being fixed so its nice to know that if you had tried what they did it will now work
well im switchin form cm7 nightly to the cm7 rc4...n i wanted to see if someone could point me to the direction on gettin the latest gapps...and also if its possible to get the wrong gapps flashed or r they all the same no matter what rom u flash???

The gapps r the same. If ur looking for them check out the cm7 thread. There is a link within the first post or two. They r universal now.
If you're just updating between, you don't need to flash. Also would recommend the final version over RC4.
Latest gapps either way.

I think you can download the GAPPS from Rom Manager now.
thanks guys i was jus makin sure i had the right one cuz i was lookin around n i found the link to the gapps but didnt kno if there were updated ones.. thanks for the info

nighly's and rc's are both experimental. nightlys are released every night. rc's are released when the devs think the rom has reached a 'checkpoint'. you are allowed to post bugs about rc's not about nightlys.
btw stable is now out!!!!! i will personally be keeping up with any new nightlys but still that is a big deal. it's newer than rc4 btw.

I am on defy+ german rom and now I want to go to CM7.1 stable
I rooted with usperoneclick 2.3.3. Now, I will install SndInitDefy_2.0, but it ask me what version latest 1.0.7 or old 0.6.1? Can I use CM7.1 with my GB kernel anyway? pls help
Hi,
I'm on 2.3.6 GB rom Defy+ 4.5.1.134_DFP-139 retail FR.
For 2ndInit I used latest 1.0.7.
For CM7 you need to used the nightly for DEFY+ linked in this Thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033654

Thanks man. It is not what I was expecting, but what to do now... I am afraid that 7.2 nightly wont be stable enough for everyday use...
Don't worry this rom (cm72-111223.0500-NIGHTLY-Defy+.zip) is very stable for everyday use. Just some modifications made by the official dev team of Cyanogen Defy to improved the CM7.1...
CM72 nightly is fine but in few latest builds (23. 12. for example) I had camera and videos upside down.
And even if I use defy+ build on defy+ it sees right battery capacity it charge only to ~85%
Sent from my MB526 using XDA App
Ok, I installed it. Videos and pictures are upside down, what a iritating bug
Everything else is just nearly perfect.
edit:
Hell, every video is upside-down. Can some good soul can tell me what version do I install without this ridicolous bugs?
yes, it irrited me too, try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=20399252&postcount=14580. i think you can change these two files in latest build. (i used mentioned 13. december one)

It did not help.
Now I ask myself why I installed 2.3.6 in first place when I wanted CM7. Ufff, I guess too many ROMs just make me confused. I want ALL OF THEM...
Nothing, I will sit tight, maybe it come eventually some nightly that make normal quality pictures and videos...

You might sit for a while as it seems that much of the devs' effort goes to ICS now.. Epsylon has recently commented that he will try to build a CM7 nightly every two weeks or so from now on....
I don't have a Defy+ but an orignal red lens one and I've been using cm72-111213.0943-NIGHTLY-Defy+ (Dec.13th) nightly since its release and I can assure you that it is a very stable build [the best CM7 I've ever used] and that camera/video recorder work fine here after changing the two files as described in my previously quoted post.
So the easiest thing for you to try (if you're still on Dec 23rd nightly) is to download the Dec13th nightly from here , and replace the 2 files in their repective appropriate folder within the nightly zip before installing it; no need to bother with files permissions that way... But again: don't extract the nightly zip; just "open" the archive [right-click] with 7-zip [or winzip] and drag and drop the files overwrite the original ones.
Sorry though; I have no clue on how to fix the reported Defy+ battery charging issues.
Edit: asah! I've realized too late that you don't own a Defy+ but flashed the full sbf... and might have green lens... so in that case, you can try the above, but it's unlikely to work - sorry..

No, no. I dont have green lens. Everything is fine now. Thanks for extended info.
Thanks, I had exactly the same problem - upside down and poor quality camera.
Was running a newer nightly of CM7.2, so used Dec13th instead, with teh updated two files, and volia, cooking with gas!
Thanks!

And you say that because??
Anyhow, I don't want to highjack this thread, but since other Defy+ owners might end up here...
...I would suggest you (and any other Defy owners) to read my thread here on tweaks for CM7.
You will find which CM7 Defy+ nightly to use to get a properly working camera, a guide on how to add a few tweaks before and after flashing it, how to get transparent statusbar, my modded GingerBlur theme AND my latest addition: how to fix the Defy+ charging problem.
That's it, I hope you enjoy!
flashing Kernel
I came with the non downgradable 2.3.6 and I have flash this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1445259
And works fine without any problem.
I dont get it. Should I flash some of these kernels, after the custom rom?
http://defy.wdscript.fr/kernel/
And which one? Are there advantages?
Thanks for any reply.

What you've flashed is simply the December 13th Defy+ nightly with 2 files changed to fix the camera and 1 more to fix the Defy+ battery full charging problem.
That nightly needs a gingerbread kernel to run but you already got that when you flashed the full 2.3.6 sbf. So no you don't need (or won't see any advantage) to flash the signed CM9 kernel again.

Since RC1 and RC2 seem to be, well, not candidates which nightly is the consensus favorite?
I remember having some luck but troubles seem to come and go, was there a nightly where the moons aligned?
Actually RC2 is one of the best ones right now.

Cool, I'll do a full wipe and try it again. I was just wiping data and cache and installing over RC1.
Hey,
I just got a LGOG and i'm thinking of installing CM
Anyone on the official CM10.1 RC1 or RC2 ?
Any important bugs or features that don't work?
What about battery life?
download and test it!

I don't have the time to play around with my phone all day, so i'd prefer to know beforehand whether or not I should go to CM or stay on stock
anyway thanks for the helpful reply..
Official CM is at nightly stage.Flash the latest one and that's it.Even if you flash future builds it won't affect your apps.
