Hey!
I want to put CM rom on my gf's wildfire and i didn't find anywhere the difference between the regular and the nightly version... can someone explain it to me?
Nightlies are experimental versions, which may be better than the stable, but, it may sometimes also have bugs not present in the stable. The building of nightlies is a continuous process, with a new nightly released everyday.
Another difference is that you do not get "official" support on the CM Bug tracker for nightlies, but, this is available for RC / Stable versions.
For your gf's phone, I would probably recommend you go with the stable.
thank you for your help!
stable is better for father, i think

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.
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
i was wondering what the difference is between the 2.....i have the nightly but i just saw the stable and was wondering what would change?
Nightly might have some features that would make it unstable. So it is considered experimental for the most part. Stable means the Rom is set with little to no problems. I would suggest the stable build if you don't want to keep flashing your phone.

ok so i have the cm7 nightly the latest one....so the latest stable release is the better of the 2?
Well it's pretty simple: Stable builds are just that, stable. Nightly builds are experimental builds, meant to try out for a day, and if people have problems, they will be fixed the next night.
So if you want a stable build, flash a stable rom. If you dont mind a few bugs, flash the nightly.
Cm nightly 256 is nearly flawless and arguably, even better than the "stable" version
^ is right, sometimes the nighly out do the stable, just have to find the right one
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.
I spotted this: http://changelog.bbqdroid.org/#bravo/cm9/next
Which seems to suggest a long history of nightly CM9 builds for the Bravo - but I've only got 7.2.0.1 on the device listing. I take it the link is incorrect rather than I just don't find the download and there really is CM9 coming to the Desire? What have I missed?
Thanks,
Matt.
CyanogenMod team does not offer even an experimental CM9 build for Desire so far, however there are several ROMs for Desire that are built using CM9 sources.
You might want to check this one:

Do you happen to know if they will be and official stable CM9 release for the HTC Desire, or will the last "official" one be CM7? I guess it might be considered too old/slow for a stable release.
I'm using Sandvold's ICS ROM (0.14) BTW which runs pretty smoothly .
